Up In the Garden

Hoist the wind on my back,
I'll carry it for you,
And if they attack,
I'll throw it back at them.
Something lurks, it's so strange,
A blow to my ego.
Things don't look the same,
It's something we'll find
Something we'll find
Up in the garden light grows and blooms
Up in the garden life grows and blooms
All of a sudden my senses are suddenly calm
Spring finds itself in everything, but I'll just have to wait
Peel back the budding leaves of a flower
And see what could be,
Or let nature and time bring forth fruition
And see the best in everything
Time can wait
For my slow pace
The waves keep coming back, but we're
Up in the garden light grows and blooms
Up in the garden life grows and blooms
All of a sudden my senses are suddenly calm
All of a sudden my senses are suddenly gone
Grow up taller

Weeds Are Radios
06:58
|

|
When I close my eyes and walk on through
The forest ting-a-ling with patterns and snares
The force of an Eastern wind, it eats away
My Western ding-a-ling, it's off, it's off
The weeds are radios
YOU weren't awake in time
I tried to wake YOU up
But YOUr eyes were inside YOUr head
So I had to leave
The leaves are ready to go
And the weeds are radios
You are a disciple of what you know
What do you know?
The moon sheds a light onto the roof
And I feel around with my hands to get back to you
There's nothing to fear in the night
So take off your face and looks how your eyes shine
They shine
You are a disciple of what you know
What do you know?

It's Hard To Tell
03:39
|
|||
|
Here's my sign
Keep it right by my side
There's a key
It opens a door
Wait a minute to tell, I'll wait a little
There's a star
A member of the good alliance
Look a minute
You're heavy breathing won't help you think
I can't tell how
I can't tell why
You're hard to smell
You're hard to tell
You don't really have a smell
(The heavens written into my DNA
I come from the sky)

Pleiades
03:39
|

|
On my knees
I beg and plead, oh Pleiades
Come close, Eros
A cosmic beam, oh Light Supreme
I wield dull tools
I realize I'm a fool
And I dream of you
Stars cloud again
I cross threshold
I commune with those who pass right to the other side
I waste my time
I realize I'm a mime
I'm a mime
And I'm crazy not to follow the signs
Stars point in another direction
But everything goes
Around
Around
Around
Around
Around
Around
Around
I turn around and see
The other side is me

The best things heard that night
The best things here, alright
They're officers, Pleiadians
They're officers
Where did they go?
They put on a show
Maverick, you were right
Maverick in the light
They're renegade Pleiadians
Close the gates, Pleiadians
Where did they go?
What do they know?
What do they know?
What do they know?
Let your light tell
Your light tells
The winner goes, the winner goes untold
Let your light tell
Your light tells
The winter ghost, the winter ghost unfolds
Let your light tell
Your light tells
The love, the love

Raft
05:11
|
|||
|
I recount the things that I know
My body, sometimes it takes its toll
But my hand is in my pocket
While my head flies like a rocket
You see, it's nothing I would die for
A broken paddle and a small ore
A tiny raft drags me past the shore
The shallow river shows the Earth's core
I life both my feet
I don't know what they could do to me
There are big snakes all around me
Pulling back and blindly striking
But I've got to get a move on
The river delta isn't far gone
Right now I need to look around me
But moving onward is the best thing
I've always wanted to have four eyes
So maybe you could look around
Around
Around
You steer the boat
I'll just go
For now
For now you can take it away
I'd waste my time hiding in a virtue
Like everything's alright
But cool it slow, there's still a certain value
That all could be just fine
Over time you charm the snakes inside me
They've got a lot to give
You show me everything I don't see
I'll give the same to you

Island
05:41
|
|||
|
Just throw the wishbone
The mysteries of the dark entangle me
Clear out the laundry, look for the old clothes
Throw them out like dirty garbage, forget what is old
The crooked birds
The misshaped turtles
The limbless reptiles congregate here
We cleared out the old island
And made a sanctuary
Forget, forget what we saw outside
The temperament of the weather here
A bold temptress
A long time's gone
The green is little for all the brown time we've got
The brown is little for all the green time we've got
Old Saint Patrick on the banks takes a machete
Tells no one where to go
He fights off the vines and all the evil things
Accelerates through space, no gravity, he floats.
A blade of teeth, a serpentine saber
A wad of cash meant only to savor
All the snakes gather at your feet here
You take them and ring their necks out like a dog
A chimney that stands tall in the clover field
On an island, the green is where are homes are here
