I don't know about your brain -
but mine is really bossy
I come home from a day on the golf course
and I find all these messages
scribbled on wrinkled up scraps of paper
And they say thing like:
"Why don't you get a real job?"
Or: "You and what army?"

We embody the spirit of motion.
We're bodies in motion. We're bodies in motion.

We dig down in the ocean. Swing up to the stars.
We own the moon and the earth. We're masters of Mars.
We're bodies in motion. We embody the spirit of motion.

Our ancestors cowered in caves

Did she fall or was she pushed? Your shirt on my chair Your shirt on my chair I'll be with you. I'll be there. I'll never leave you Your shirt on my chair. Come here little girl. Get into the car. It's a brand new Cadillac. Bright red. Your words in my ears. I'll be with you. I'll be there. I'll never leave you. Wild beasts shall rest there And owls shall answer one another there And the hairy ones shall dance there And sirens in the temples of pleasure. Your shirt on my chair. I'll be with you. I'll be there. I'll never leave you. Your shirt on my chair.

A dark angel parachutes down into an abandoned town
He says: Oh, I've been looking for a certain white clown
Doesn't look like you're it
But you're the only one around
So I guess you'll have to do, He says
So anyway...how are you doin'?
I say, Actually, I can't stand all the new machines
It's supposed to be all brand new but it just looks the same"

Good evening.
This is your Captain.
We are about to attempt a crash landing.
Please extinuish all cigarettes.
Place your tray tables in their upright, locked position.
Your Captain says: Put your head on your knees. Your Captain says: Put your head on your hands. Captain says: Put your hands on your head.
Put your hands on your hips.
Heh heh.

He said: I had to write that letter to your mom
And I had to tell the judge that it was you
And I had to sell the car and go to Florida
Because that's just my way of saying that I love you (It's a job)

Rain keeps pouring down
Houses are cracking.
People drown.
Cars are rusting here.
A church floats by
Washed in the blood of the lamb.
And all the superhighways have disappeared
One by one.

Concentration. Empty your mind.
Let the rest of the world go by.
Hold your breath. Hold your breath. Close your eyes.

Rocks and stones. Broken bones.
Everything eventually comes crawling home.
In the night. In the night.

O Superman. O judge. O Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad
O Superman. O judge. O Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad

Hi. I'm not home right now
But if you want to leave a message
Just start talking at the sound of the tone

Hello? This is your Mother

Now only an expert can deal with the problem
'Cause half the problem is seeing the problem.
And only an expert can deal with the problem.
Only an expert can deal with the problem.

So if there’s no expert dealing with the problem
It’s really actually twice the problem.
'Cause only an expert can deal with the problem.

It was one of those black cat nights The moon had gone out and the air was thin It was the kind of night that the cat would drag in. I'll never forget it, we had a fight. Then you turned around turned on the light. You left our bed. Then you moved downstairs to live with her instead. Yeah just one floor and a shout away, I guess I should have moved but I decided to stay. Did I drink some poison that I don't remember now? And every night I open all the windows I let a cold dark wind blow through. I play loud organ music and I talk to myself and dream of you. Uh oh! I hear voices coming up through the pipes through all the springs in my bed and up through the lights The volume goes up then it drops back down I can hear the two of you playing records moving furniture and fooling around. Did I drink some poison that I don't remember now? Is there blood on my hands No, my hands are clean. Did I do something in another lifetime that was really really mean? Yeah, I'm hearing voices. Am I losing my mind? Think I'm going crazy, I gotta get out. I run into the street and I start to shout Get ou of my way! Get out! Get out! Did I drink some poison that I don't remember now? Is there blood on my hands? Did I do something in another lifetime that was really really mean? A small bullet, a piece of glass And your heart just grows around it.

You know that little clock, the one on your VCR, the one that's always blinking twelve noon because you never figured out how to get in there and change it? So it's always the same time, just the way it came from the factory. good morning. good night. Same time tomorrow. We're in record.
So here are the questions: is time long or is it wide? And the answers? sometimes the answers just come in Mail. and one day you get that letter you've been waiting for forever. And everything it says is true. And then in the last line it says: burn this.
We're in record. and what I really want to know is this: are things getting better or are they getting worse? can we start all over again? stop. pause. we're in record. good morning. good night.
Now I in you without a body move. and in our hearts we fly.
Standby. good morning. good night.

Daddy Daddy, it was just like you said
Now that the living outnumber the dead.

Where I come from it's a long thin thread
Across an ocean. Down a river of red.

Now that the living outnumber the dead.
I am one of many.

I remember where I came from
There were burning buildings and a fiery red sea
I remember all my lovers
I remember how they held me.
World without end remember me.

East. The edge of the world.
West. Those who came before me.
