“Twist the Knife”
She kept on walking
a couple of steps behind
She didn’t feel like talking anyway
Was she heart broken
you couldn’t really tell
The words she left unspoken
didn’t say
but you just can’t shake that feeling
It’s the violence
of her silence
She gonna twist the knife
‘cause she thinks she’s got the right
She gonna twist knife
You gonna lie awake at night
Some ways of living
if living’s what it’s called
are really only slower ways to die
so why try
you just can’t shake that feeling
no ..
you just can’t shake that feeling
She gonna twist the knife
‘cause she thinks she’s got the right
She gonna twist knife
You gonna lie awake at night

Anything At All
You can’t fight spirit
with a gun
You can’t really live
in fear of someone
Nothing ever means
just one thing
and I could mean
Anything at all
It’s just like people
we’ll figure it out somehow
Yes, it’s just like people
we’ll figure it out somehow
Nothing ever means
just one thing
and I could mean
Anything at all

"Passing Through"
I am falling
through you
right through you
through the pieces that are broken
through the pieces that you left on the shelf
behind the door
you left open
I am falling through
falling straight through
broken glass
going down
where I belong
with the weed s and the trees
and everything's bleeding in some kind of hell
Fever has got a hold on me
and it's not pleasing
it ain't where I wanna be
and you..
are just passing through
the highest place
from the awkward space that I survive in
I'm a car crash over your head
I'm the place you might have bled
I'm the one that you might regret
that you are
just
passing through
You know it's never gonna matter to you
it's just what you do
it's who you are
why you breathe
how you think of everything you think of
'cause you are just passing through
I'm falling
the broken bits that hit the ground
you can find them in the lost and found
put me back together
take me home
make me whole
please
it matters to me
it matters to me

Ohio River (Burning Burning)
Sun’s on the horizon 23rd time today
down there used to be Houston
before all the cities got dusted away
That was when the planet was green and blue
and the clouds so virginal white
that was before the bad half hour
and the year of the longest night
Was I really born there daddy
down on that cold black moon
Are we really gonna go down there daddy
are we gonna go back there soon?
It was all in the cards
a very long time before you were born
they were killing the lakes and trees ’n
they were stamping out music and porn
and in the name of religion
they were killing people in the streets
they were bombing the restaurants
they were calling out the fleets
So it doesn’t really matter daddy
‘cause it all went away in the end
Are we really gonna go down there daddy
and start all over again?
Is that the Ohio river burning burning
burning like a devil’s smile
Is the river on fire
is it really burning
burning for 100 miles
just before the end
the big boys made another deal on bombs
they were only waiting for
a bigger better one to come along
and of course they had to test her out
just to see if that baby would fly
it never occurred to them that
8 billion people would die
Do we really have to go there daddy
it sounds like a terrible place
can’t we just turn this ship around
and sail her into outer space
Is that the Ohio river burning burning
burning like a devil’s smile
Is the river on fire
is it really burning
burning for 100 miles
Is that the Ohio river burning burning
burning like a devil’s smile
Is the river on fire
is it really burning
burning for 100 miles
burning burning
burning burning…

Scissors
Think I’ll find myself some scissors
and cut my hair
You wouldn’t notice
and if you did
You wouldn’t care
Then I start to thinking who am I fooling
no one
Then I start to thinking
what have I become
I close my eyes and say goodnight
no one answers
and I start to thinking’
maybe you were right
Then I start to thinking
what have I become
I hurt so bad
Think I’ll find myself some scissors
and cut my hair
You wouldn’t notice
and if you did
You wouldn’t care

Heike’s Song (Who you Are)
I am quite content to just sit here on this fence
contemplating action..
Everything is really so simple
but we complicate it
by over thinking over thinking everything..
I love who you are
because of who are
.. we haven't broken yet
So/Yes
I am quite content to just sit here on this fence
contemplating action..
Everything is really so simple
but we complicate it
by over thinking over thinking everything..
I love who you are
because of who are
.. we haven't broken yet
I am amazed
that I comprehend
that I comprehend
no beginning therefore no end
and the thing is
you see the thing is
nothing is..
I love who you are
because of who are
.. we haven't broken yet

In Another Time
05:16
|

From the top of the rise
you look down to the village bellow
did you hear your voice
in another language
in another time
You were dressed in silk
there was some trouble
did you have to run
did he have to die
you had a lot to learn
in another time
When did you begin
to feel it like a piece of another life
a long time ago
and when did you first know
that it’s not dreaming
and you’ve really been here before
On a jet black horse your mane’s flying
you charge into the frey
you see the enemy’s eyes
were you both afraid
in another time
From a building taller than a mountain
did you dare look down
or did you just let fly
when the bottom fell out
in another time
When did you begin
to feel it like a piece of another life
a long time ago
and when did you first know
that it’s not dreaming
and you’ve really been here before
When will the journey end
in a small grey house
no loose ends untied
no more beginnings
and of course an end to all that pain
When did you begin
to feel it like a piece of another life
a long time ago
and when did you first know
that it’s not dreaming
and you’ve really been here before

Better to Bend
03:47

I’m a one eyed dog
I’m a stain on the wall
in the shape of Italy
I’m a broken satellite
I’m the glass on the string of an Afghan kite
I’m out on a limb
swinging thin
twisting in the wind
It’s better to bend
better to bend
better to bend than break
I’m rain on the glass
I’m the light and the dark
streaming through
I’m broken wide open
I’m inside out and I’m alright
I’m alright
It’s better to bend
better to bend
better to bend than break
bend don’t break

"Everything is Fleeting"
Everything is fleeting
even the clouds are running off somewhere
Everything is fleeting
like the new friends that you met for a second
then they're gone
carrying on with their lives
I met an old lady and she was truly beautiful
and I didn't understand a word she said
and I don't think I ever will
Everything is fleeting
A window without a frame
A prayer without a name
it's all the same
Everything is fleeting
everything..
And you my friends
You are my friends
with the best kept secret
that you don't try to keep
Everything is fleeting
nothing remains the same
everything is fleeting...

Walkaway
Walkaway free and clear
walkaway…
free and clear
I’m driving in my car
and I’m driving too fast
but I don’t care anyway
and I smoke another cigarette
and I know I’m running
driving too fast
and I don’t care where I’m going
and I might get there
so I smoke another cigarette
and I throw it out the window
and I should care
‘cause it’s me
my life
where I’m going
who I might be
i could be…
And I lost myself
and I found myself
and I lost myself
and I found myself again
I found myself again
I need to take my brain
to the speed of walking…
“man pen chan nang eng..”
walk away
free and clear..

Glycerin Tears - written by Birkett Hall
Lyrics:
You don’t have to ask me how I am
one look at my face and you’ll see
I’ve been running in one place for too long
there ain’t nothing much left
that means that much to me
I wanna be
like the woman on that TV
I wanna cry Glycerin Tears
‘stead of real
living where nothing’s real
living where nothing’s real
living where nothing’s real
I can’t get ahead and lord knows I try
saving my dollars saving for nothing
and in my dreams I’m living on channel 3
in the lap of a prime time luxury
I wanna be
like the woman on that TV
I wanna cry Glycerin Tears
‘stead of real
living where nothing’s real
living where nothing’s real
living where nothing’s real
