No-Mind Fire

Who gave me this mind to think?
‘Cause now I’ve gotta stop these thoughts Before they drive me to the brink
Of spiritual death
For I don’t know
No, I can’t know, not a thing
Gotta watch this world unfold and not say a word
Amen

Don’t look in the mirror
Because then you got to think about what you are
And it’s so unclear
Not clearer

And everyone around you turns to stone

Yes the ones you loved are no longer what you’ve known

I thought myself out of love

And out of body
The truth is dark
I beg

Shelter me in your bright cave
Warm me by the liars
Tell those sweet lies
I could only taste as a child
I’ll tell my mind this is no place for it Sorry baby I’m happy by the no-mind fire

Ahaa...

Hey sister do I know ya?
We’ve all been playing the same old game For a while now
Can we just talk about

Where we are and what we are And where we’re going?

We’re just dying flesh

Doing a little dance

Will we pirouette
‘Till our final breath?

Don’t look in her eyes
Because then you got to think about
what she is
And then she’ll die, she’ll die
And everyone around you is flesh and bone Yes the ones you loved are so much less than what you’ve known

I thought myself out of love

And out of body
The truth is dark
I beg

Shelter me in your bright cave
Warm me by the liars
Tell those sweet lies
I could only taste as a child
I’ll tell my mind this is no place for it Sorry baby I’m happy by the no-mind fire

Ahaa...

Who gave me this mind to think?
‘Cause now I’ve gotta stop these thoughts Before they drive me to the brink
Of spiritual death
For I don’t know
No, I can’t know, not a thing
Gotta watch this world unfold
and not say a word
Amen

Cherry Lips

I taste her cherry lips
It peaks my instruments
Of Love
Oh lord, I wanna know

I feel the wilderness
In my bones
I feel my heart beating fast like a deep grain mountain wolf
For her

I wanna know what's under that heart of yours
I wanna know whatcha-watcha smiling for
Wanna take a deep swim in those deep sea eyes
Oh my

I taste her cherry lips
It peaks my instruments
Of Love
Oh lord, I wanna know

I’m as still as a golden orb weaver when I'm under her spell
I can smell the magic
What it do I can’t imagine

I wanna know what's under that heart of yours
I wanna know whatcha-watcha smiling for
Wanna take a deep swim in those deep sea eyes, oh my

I taste her cherry lips
It peaks my instruments
Of Love
Oh lord, I wanna know, yeah

I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know…

Aventura

My bones obey the call
To change this boy and make him tall
To change his face and make him proud
To hide the child

To change is the command
Given from nature’s tower
Somewhere deep within the heart
Of this place from which we come and which we are

Father do you see your son
Distorted by the hand of God?
Soon to be what you now are
Oh father, do you see me now?

Julian can you see your brother
With whom you laughed and whom you struggled
Struggling to be a man
To come to terms with nature’s plan

We’ll all follow itThe first cause and the uncausedIts will is in our heartsIt’s where we go and what we are

The trees will shed their colors
The sun will too be gone
Along with them I follow
Our God

Is Death where my form ends?
My parts to form a grander child
My only world collapsed
And all my truth to ash

Oh father will we carry on?
Carried by the hand of God
Far away, far beyond
Oh father will we carry on?

Julian can you see your brother
With whom you laughed and whom you struggled
Struggling to understand
The meaning of this time he has

Peak

The Peak

Should I be what I am

For a hundred years?

Or should I at once resign

Renounce all these degrees?

And all the bullet points

Of my smaller self

To live and not to die

The mission to every day

control and collect

Let me tell you, I’ve been to the peak

Saw everything I could be

But I’m hostage in the valley,

and my mother’s got a tally

Of every check and every girl I can achieve

Well, I’ll drive this Jag

through the city streets

Every girl that I cross is so damn neat

But one day I’m a drive

this pretty car southward

And I won’t stop

till I’m damn right past her

They’ll call my name

from all hundred stories

From all the shops and all the houses

In their minds I shall remain

a tragic, broken story

But in their hearts they will sing

with all their passion

Let me tell you, I’ve been to the peak

Saw everything I could be

But I’m hostage in the valley,

and my mother’s got a tally

Of every check and every girl I can achieve

Oh I’ve been to the peak

Saw everything I could be

But I’m hostage in the valley,

and my mother’s got a tally

Of every check and every girl I can achieve

Let me tell you, I’ve been to the peak

Saw everything I could be

But I’m hostage in the valley,

and my mother’s got a tally

Of every check and every girl I can achieve

All These Bones of Mine

Driving 65 to Santa Fe

Got my baby by my side

What she don’t know won’t kill her

But what I know got me feeling

some kind of way

Been this way

In another time

All my bones got me goin’

All these bone of mine

I’m goin' to Red Rock

I’m goin' past midnight

With all these bones of mine

Blonde man whispers something to me

He’s high on caffeine and the way the world

just kept spinning ‘round for him

For the two of us

Yeah it just kept spinning ‘round

My little baby

She ain’t little in my heart

But she ain’t as big as them

No, she ain’t as big as them

Red rock

I’m goin' to Red Rock

I’m goin' past midnight

With all these bones of mine

(Outro)

Ride that road

Through native storm ‘n bitching sun

Past howling rain

And whispering winds

The mystic sands

The ancient plains

And the desert moon

Desert Moon

I was walking free under the desert moon

The moonlight strikes my dying flesh

No one beside me, but God

Breathe, breathe for the first time

Run, run towards that fire line

Fear, fear for the last time

And rise, to that death divine

I was walking free under the desert moon

The moonlight strikes my dying flesh

No one beside me, but God

Breathe, breathe for the first time

Run, run towards that fire line

Fear, fear for the last time

And rise, to that death divine
