The Earf

There is a place to go
It's here on the earf
where you are in control
and you have worth
You have everything you need
You are breathing rental free
You know it's hard to be
people have their views
in time of war a man always prepares himself for peace
in time of war a man always should prepare himself for peace
in time of peace, be prepared, for anything... but mostly for war
There is a place I know
it's hear on the earf
where I am incontrol
and I have worth
you know it's hard to be
people have their views
but don't give up on life
I won't give up on you
man, in peace or in war, if you're not prepared,
your lost. Your lost.
And that's why a lot of people become homeless
because they lost their sense of identities
man was put on earf to control earf
not for the earf to control him
because man is advanced technology
man has advanced knowledge to survive
so how can he go on the street to become homeless
when he should be in charge of Taj Mahal
The 8th wonder of the world because it was built by man
understand what I'm sayin
The 8th wonder of the world, Rich, was built by man
so how can a man become homeless
when he know he can build the eighth wonder of the world!

Come and go to sleep
You must go to school
I will tuck you in
(we're not sleepy....)
our own sun spins with the rest in it's own dignified passage
around the distant galaxy center
once every three hundred million years.
Clouds of stars and glowing gas with patches of darkening dust
mark the slow changing spiral patterns of the galaxy disc.
A sky full of distinct stars
one among them central
is our own sun

Skinny Guy

There's a reason for this open book, this homicide
He was reaching out but dirty looks is all he finds
They're beleiving all the things he said
Those hippie lies
and we told you that he'd soon be dead
John Lennon dies!
There's no reason for a bullet in that skinny guy
he's preaching peace and city morgue was all he finds
They're beleiving all the things he said
Those Yoko lies
and we told you that he'd soon be dead
John Lennon dies!
There's a reason for Norweigian Wood and marmalade skies
and we know now what it is to be sad listening to lies
there's a reason for a bullet in that skinny guy
They're beleiving all the things he said
Those hippie lies
and we told you that he'd soon be dead
John Lennon dies!

Pearl Necklace

She came up on the observation deck, man
I was holding the Queen of Spades in my hand
I was looking for a bird to peck
she had a pearl necklace on her neck
She came up to me and observed
that my solemn partner was un-nerved
and she chastised me for not having bet
the pearl necklace on her neck
that pearl necklace on her neck
You don't wave goodbye at me now maam!
That's one wave I cannot stand
you put hot electric sparks on my ass now maam
it's for keeps
She came down to my sleeper car, man
Still holding the Jack of Hearts in her hand
She was looking for a man to wreck
She had a pearl necklace on her neck
She had a pearl necklace on her neck
Then she shnuggled up to me and observed
the trail ahead was curved
and she was totally not high tech
but she had pearls upon her neck
a pearl necklace on her neck

There come a time when I saw what was up
down on the bottom of the black cracked cup
I treasure the moment that happened in time
when the wind kissed the willow and made it sublime
and made it sublime
I came down the mountain to the top of the hill
the wind realizes and so you probably will
I met the girl and she thought I could see
if she had only heard, I could finally be free
When I came back down from my rise from the pit
I stepped on the fuse there that finally was lit
'cause they were confused with my eighty odd rhymes
when the wind kissed the willow and made it sublime
and made it sublime
I came up the valley to the bottom of hell
The devil knows why, but he can never ever tell
I listened to the shadows and I had no fear
and when I thought I'd heard, I could finally be here

There's a crow flying, Back
There's a crow flying, Back
There's a crow, there's a crow
Black is back is black is back
a folded flag on casket black
Red virgin white and yankee blue is back
Black is back is black is back
There's crow, there's a crow
Now an Amtrak train is comin' down the track
a boy goes away and a man comes back
Black is back is back is back
there's a crow, there's a crow
Black is back is black is back
Black is back is black is back
black is, black is black
Black is back is black is back
black is, black is black

The Chainsaw Man
02:32

Do you hear the whisper of the old grey forest
as the sun falls down
Ten thousand voices sing a leafy chorus
on the wings of time
But now their song is shattered
by the howl of the chainsaw man
every stick will crack to feed the fire
of the chainsaw man
He ain't looking for them old dead branches
he bring the tall ones down
do you hear the whisper of coons and rattlers
as the trees fall down
But now their song is shattered
by the howl of the chainsaw man
every stick will crack to feed the fire
of the chainsaw

I Say Something

You try something, I try something, too
I try something, you try 'I love you'
Now you know what I mean
staying ahead of the city scene
now you know what I see
after all it's all up to me
