The Outcome

I don’t know how I got you near
I sang your song and it all became the outcome
And now you’re here
No one cares, no one doubts
It’s all gonna turn out right somehow
But the outcome is surely near
I dreamed that destiny came
Empty handed with nothing to say
I dreamed it was all behind me
But there was nothing in my way
The god damn walls standing in the streets
The lines the laws they’re only made concrete
They will crumble before our eyes
They will crumble before our eyes
I know what’s next – a field of flowers
Me and my baby walking out
To the outcome that’s surely near
The outcome is surely near
The outcome is almost here.

Familiar

You seem familiar
Hands they just keep going round
In the clock above you
Hands they just keep going round
But oh, time keeps getting younger in your face
Once when you and I were ruling the world from the clouds we made
So, you seem familiar
You won’t even turn my way
Did dear old god of memory steal our proverbial fate?
But oh, I don’t believe that it’s true
I know, I just know
You know I didn’t mean what I said when I cursed you out into the black black night
But you just kept on throwing out your bolts of light out into that hazy atmosphere
So, I held you tight and we burst until the sun appeared
How was I to know?
You seem familiar
Hands they just keep going round
In the clock above you
Hands they just keep going round
But oh, time keeps getting slower in your face
You and your Jupiter eyes – I know

Marmalade

You walked away from my door to quickly this time
Sweet marmalade on your tongue still melting on mine
Will you stretch your words to me over millions of miles of wire
Will you ever come back to me?
You’re so far away
Elves on parade and scrooges smile cause there hearts open wide
On Christmas day – that’s what’s I saw on your T.V. set
But still you stretch your words to me over millions of miles of wire
Will you ever come back to me?
Give it a rest, give it a rest for awhile
I know I’m starting to defile
Give it a rest, give it a rest you say and smile
This is only a test
This is only a test
This is only a test
I’ve fallen prey to the words that fall out of their mouths
They won’t go away
I need you here to drown them all out
But still you stretch your words to me over millions of miles of wire
Will you ever come back to me?
You're just so far away

We light up like a Christmas tree every time you start
There’s no way to stop
From your words I see what you see
Of times before I start
Tell me more don’t stop
In the summer you said you’d ask the rain in for tea
In the summer you said you’d make your salt from the sea
There's the man with the serpent tongue,
Krishna kanayo found his hand inside the jar
And I feel like you’re ripped from me then glued back on top
I don’t know what’s what
In the summer you said you’d ask the rain in for tea
In the summer you said you’d make your salt from the sea
The stories sound like the part of you - of our collective hearts.
Tell me more don’t stop
And I feel like you’re ripped from me then glued back on top.
I don’t know what’s what
In the summer you said you’d ask the rain in for tea
In the summer you said you’d make your salt from the sea

The Otherside
05:57

Her eyes roll up and to the otherside
Where the carnival's come to make her soul a bride
Out there when she closed the curtains, down lids
She started to drift from the world to you
Cause the world, no it don’t make sense
How you gotta be to jump the fence
How you gotta play the system so it can play you
(oh, you’re a beauty – a turn from the dull it’s all become)
With her mind made up by her golden eye
Ringlets of rays from the golden skies
Out with the freaks and all the goblins – all crowned
We’ve finally found what we’re meant to do
Nobody to please like a begging dog
The people laugh and point, you just carry on
There’s nothing left to prove, no alibis
She’s running fast asleep to the otherside
Don’t make me wait too long
Don’t make me wait too long
Her eyes roll up and to the otherside
Where the morning had come to claim her waking life
She bolts up, there she had the vision
It’s all there, she finally found all her dreams were true
Oh how it all made sense
The sun is now the moon high above the fence
You don’t gotta play no system and it won’t play you

I got a lot of nerve in my pocket
That and three hundred dollar bills
I could blow it all in the split of a second
Like a coward in the cheap cheap wind
The girl at the end of the bar keeps on staring
At me or the clock above my head
Don’t she see that I’m a washed up old man
I lost my power
35 years of assisting
A man with my balls in his hands
I found my hope just sitting there waiting
For me to take a fucking stand
I never wanted to be such a predictable son of a bitch
But then I guess I never thought I’d ever end up like this
But I’m remembering things that never happened
I’ll tell you the story if you care
I was entrenched in a body of hot molten liquid
With that girl there by my side
I held her inside me and we ruled the world
When I had a lot of nerve
That’s when I had a lot of nerve
I still have it – I got a lot of nerve
I got a lot of nerve
I want to believe in this illusion
You know I believe I’m a part of this myth
Cause how can I forget her sweet complexion
Or what’s hiding beneath that little blue dress
I never wanted to be such a predictable son of a bitch
But then I guess I never thought I’d ever end up like this

For Mary

There’s a skeleton in a train yard out in East Tennessee
Where the work’s all about the same with her faint memory
On the fifteenth car, a 5-ton Asian dancing routine
She’s a stunning spectacle prize who lived a died a marvel queen
Where right is wrong is right it depends on who’s telling
When Red walked into town and joined the circus parade
He didn’t know what to do with his hands that day
He tried to tame her wild, but it turned out to kill him
And for you – a never done before
Yes, the beast will hang
Falling down dying for you
Well, she knew better than that….
And for you – a never done before
Yes, the beast will hang
Falling from the chains that you made
And for your laws around her neck
Falling down dying for you.
Well, she knew better than that….
