A is for Apple

A is for apple, you eat it B for breakfast, C it's so crunchy and D the dental action
E, good for eating and F for all the feelings, knowing that you're so alive, G yeah it's good
H going home, I into a place where J it should be joyful and K the people know you then
L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T until the very end, W, X, Y, Z to go, how will I do it? Well,
L, I want to take the special time, to get into the biggest little word that's love, ah --
Picks you up, keeps you alive, it just makes you want to hum --
So if it fits you say M thanks mom, 'N' O all the older folks and P, pops is lookin' out too,
And now we got, Q-R-S-T quick running short on time until the very end, W, X and Y and finally Z, so now,
Why oh why are we born into the world? Looking at the wonderments and wickedness and woes,
Walkin walkin walkin as we're wandering in the city,
Looking at the sky as we wish to wax witty and the worms under our feet, the wrens up in the sky,
The whales in the ocean all know what to do and why,
But I can only wonder as I lie here gettin' sleepy and I hope I don't hiccup and then X a little sneeze,
Y, I start to yawn and Z, I close my eyes to go to --

Banana Song
04:47
|

Start of the season, start of the year, start of the day, start of the dance of this song
Start; the end for the next to the next and to the next, and to the next
Bananabobuck chuck so this song, wudakachuaw chuck so this song,
Wudakachuaw, chuck, wadubak babudaday, therefore this song -- that's about it
Follow the curving curling world girl
You never know what you'll find down low
Follow the lurking working world girl
You never know what it is you'll find
Like the deep dirt braces the sky
You can walk all over me
All around, to the side
You can walk all over me
Like the setting sun graces the sky
You can walk all over me
All around, to the side
You can walk all over me
Bananabobuck chuck wudachuck wadudaday, dance of a drink and a quarter,
Wudakachuaw, chuck, wadubak babudaday, therefore your thoughts
Bananabobuck chuck so this song, wudakachuaw chuck so this song,
What do you do if it's wrong all along, lay down and die or can it be solved? -- That's about it.
Follow the bouncing jouncing life boy
It frees you up when you gone too far
Follow the bouncing jouncing life boy
It frees you up when you gone too far
Like the deep dirt braces the sky
You can walk all over me
All around, to the side
You can walk all over me
Like the setting sun graces the sky
You can walk all over me
All around, to the side
You can walk all over me

Conscience

All tight & sober's how she's coming across
Sits in the courtroom with her hands
It's her own judgement day, isn't it funny how
She sits in judgement of the rest
Who's gonna judge me, who knows what I am about -- who's got the right to turn my day into night?
Who really knows? Who's got the right?
... I was just trying to survive
And now the castle seems oh so far away
And this damn courthouse is no place
For everything that she loved & embraced
But none dare say that to her face
Who's gonna judge me, who knows what I am about -- who's got the right to turn my day into night?
Who really knows? Who's got the right?
... I did what I could to survive
So long ago, she started out thinking something is wrong --
And in her own mind she's been walking toward the daylight along --
She's getting relaxed as she's going across
Sits back & leans back on her hands
It's her own judgement day, isn't it funny how
She sits there laughing at the rest
Do what you will, do what you need to do -- my true memories will remain
So let if fall, crumble into the sweetest dust, I'm not mad, just myself
Do what you will, do what you need to do -- my true memories will remain --
So let if fall, crumble into the sweetest dust -- not mad, just myself

Lone

As you first, open your eyes you can feel what it is ... mmm
The first problem that you face, the last problem you will face.
To be touched, deep inside touch me, soul and everything --
And I was so uncomfortable, if you must know.
I succeed in sensing you, I succeed in feeling you -- figure out -- everything --
And funny things like wanting to piss, at the same time, I'm even glad of those things -- mmm.
Now at least that's done -- at least the first step is done, and then you can take it from there ... nnn.
I like a certain word, and when I say that certain word, I guess I mean really you -- I mean really just all of you --
And though I'm tired, so -- tired, I am feeling here. I am feeling so.
Loneliness is over for you and me, you and me. Loneliness is over for you and me.
I succeed in sensing you, I succeed in feeling you -- -- figure-out-every-thing --
... stepping back, seeing more, getting wider, and, fill all the edges again -- deeper lower again.
I even loosened my strong hand against others and in 10 years we'll forgive
You pulled back your hand against me and in a 1000 years we'll forgive
Pointlessness is over for you and me, you and me. Rootlessness is over for you and me.
If I end you go on, progress will, forward on ...
... shapeless and powerful we were and nothing could kill us all we were, it doesn't depend on one place-or-person-lips-cracked-and-reason-exists
In front of our eyes, an inch in front of our eyes, a world in front of ourselves -- mmm.
Loneliness is over for you and me, you and me. .... That shit's over for you and me.

Laid Out
05:48
|
|||
When I feel good, it lasts a while and then it ends, it ...
Puts me in a pit because -- because I have forgotten by then
What it was like when I was shut down, protecting myself
What it was like when I was shut down, protecting myself
This is the sound -- of the pressure building up in your skull
Here comes the blood -- coming up right through the wall
This is the sound -- of the pressure building up in your skull
Here comes the blood, here comes the blood, here comes the blood -- coming up right through the wall!
That's what I was thinking, when you were asleep
The birds were chirpin' & I think you were asleep
Your eyes were shifting and then your throat -- was making that sound
I love your shifting and I like -- the sounds you make
You know that well.
Taste the dirt -- as you're climbing up the mountain
Taste the salt -- as you're swimming in the sea
Stand at the top, breathing so hard, and know that you are not alone in the thoughts that you think --
By yourself
Thoughts that you think --
By yourself
And what you feel is real
What you think is true
What you always suspected,
Is
Real -- real and true
What you always suspected,
Is.

When I see that broken toy, I think but I don't say
Do you remember, all the colors in the sun when they burned right in your eye,
And the way it felt in your head when you heard a sound, hiccupping when you cry?
I'm not ashamed, to put it all down, when we can't act like human beings in the street, I think, maybe that's what we need anyway --
Do you remember the sun, do you remember the fall, do you remember the wind, do you remember it all, the, single moment in the light, it caught your hair and smelled so right and my little heart & soul captured it all,
When you weren't uptight all the time and I didn't do that stupid shit and we will never be that way again --
-- Any more --
Sometimes it's hard to say a single thing, I'll take you by the hand and show you things you've never seen
Not certain but I know it's mine and I bet you never even knew, what I could really do
I could take you to a secret place, look up into the sky and things'll never bet the same
Ever since I saw it all with you, and I bet you never even knew what I could really do
If I could draw it all in the brightest colors then I would
If I could write it all in the kindest poem then I would
If I could just remember every single thing then I would
Because it's yours, and it's mine, and it's right!

Simple Touch
03:41
|

Simple touch, revealing interest and the searching feelings such, as yours and mine combine to make -- a tiny -- sensation, oh which is rather pleasing even though I know it must end
So let it go, and be, and go on so, until the anguished cries of pleasure pass out your curled toes, and then the life, the death, and all in between, oh at the very point of union we have strange memories and then --
Two things that are constant, breath and trying to give, yeah making ends is such a stress, survival, all that it takes -- it day you learn, and prove, a series of tests, oh which are endless in their complication and drudgery
And so you gain, recede, incrementally, until you can't turn back you developed the mentality, time always pass, as you might pass on through so to speak, so I say forward unto next, or further what? And then --

Grunts
03:39
|
|||
Grunts and flails aborted, drives blocked and frustrated, voices strained and weak -- seek expression
I swear I'll keep it simple this time, like water running down your back
Crossing an endless bridge, endless bridge, leading to the depths of something
Introspective gaze, unseeing eye --
Colors, colors -- harsh lines
Organic-geometric axis of subjective conception, of shape
Hue and value, qualities of visible light --
Drunk in the morning -- 'til you're sick and weak
Groans and mouth sounds, and changing moods
Colors -- colors, and line
Qualities of visible light, to the eye
Snakes rise and mingle from the edge to the top, and curl around
Watercolor ink on paper, on paper
Beats, words, couplets, lines, perspective changes linked with key changes, and modulation
Narrative points of view -- rate and density of syllables
One line in major, another in minor, and right-hand palming styles:
Left and right, open and closed -- and so on
How soon the strange becomes familiar and the old is steadily forgetten
Standing on quicksand we build foundations
Qualities of language in time --
Grunts and flails aborted, drives blocked and frustrated, voices strained and weak -- seek expression

Green Eyes
03:39

Floating -- come to me
Drifting -- come for me
Tell me -- what you can
Some words will protect you, but words do only so much
Stay here, stay here with me, stay here ever with me --
Your eyes, inside me, green eyes --
!
