Time Slips Up

Well you better do something while you got it kid
Don't you fall upon the jagged edge
'Cause time slips up behind you when you least expect
And you lose the fire that's burning in your chest
Don't you walk around just singing "Time is On My Side"
Acting like some kind of messiah
Life may be a game but you still got to play
So you better play your cards right 'cause Karma pays
You may think you're fine now
And that you're ten feet tall
But when the walls close in around you
You'll see its a free for all
Don't you take your gaze away from the truth at hand
Throw yourself upon the gears
Just like Savio and Hampton you can lead the fight
And the war machine is burning such a lovely sight
You may think we're fine now
And that we've done it all
But have you seen the children in their cages?
Do you hear their weary calls?
You may think we're fine now
And that we cannot fall
But will you speak for the voices that were silenced
These Stars and Stripes are false

Walk Along the Sky

Well she walks along the sky
With the cosmos in her eyes
Clouds beneath her feet
And I'm out here in the street
Looking up but feeling down
I don't think you'll understand what I mean
You would know if you had felt it
She burns me up just like a spark to gasoline
And she hardly even knows it
Well she walks along the sky
With the cosmos in her eyes
Clouds beneath her feet
And I'm out here in the street
Looking up but feeling down
Well I see her out on the edge painting the horizon
She dances in the new day sun oh I see her shining
And I know I just got to say to her just how I really feel
But she changes just like the weather hot then cold then disappears
Well she walks along the sky
With the cosmos in her eyes
Clouds beneath her feet
And I'm out here in the street
Looking up but feeling down
Well she dances in the sky
Wish and pray that I could fly
I'd be like Icarus
Burned by my ignorance
Looking up as I hit the ground
And I'm feeling down
And she can't be found
Girl can't be bound

Pyramids

Who knows how to make love stay?
It don't play to rules, it don't work that way
You can't chain it down like some exotic beast
Just take it day by day and give it away for free
Don't let it turn into some worn out cliche
'Cause often times it really tends to go that way
Romance aint no bandwagon for lost souls
With nothing better to ride
Love's an outlaw baby can't you see?
Oh tell me please
Who's side are you on anyway?
Who knows how to make love stay?
The woodpecker broke the camel's back
There's Leigh-Cheri's dreams on a 20 pack
When freedom's outlawed only outlaws will be free
I saw that painted on a wall education from the streets
So listen princess as you build your tomb
This aint no fairytale at all, we're just barking at the moon
There's just one word in outlaw philosophy
Its the simple word of choice wrapped in veils of mystery
You know the reason why they built the pyramids?
Pedestals for our souls to bravely dance upon the tips
Everything's a part of it now, oh can't you see?
Who knows how to make love stay?
Perpetuating the mystery
Won't be deprived of the joys of life
There's smiling eyes read between the lines
It'll be alright, it'll be okay
Our lifes but a drama and the world is but our stage
It'll be alright now, it'll be okay
The simple facts of life are out here on the final page

Down on the Scene

I'm going down on the scene
I got a one way ticket to mean street
'Cause my daydream is a little dull
Sell off peace of mind for a little bit of time with the crazies
Play in some concert hall
Just because I play some game it don't mean a thing
I don't need you
Baby I aint no king I don't need a queen
And baby that's the truth
I just want my kicks I don't need to take shit from the TV
You can watch it when you're dead
Well I've been fine for a while
Because I got my fashion style from a worn out magazine
Levi's and cigarettes
Electronic complacence its a silly thing
For you modern fools
I'll stick with my carbureted introspection
And baby that's the truth

Heart is On the Run
03:56

My heart is on the run
Sanity is done
I can't bear to face the mirror
A stranger's eyes pierce back in cold disdain
Am I going insane?
Voices inside my brain
They're telling me "Run while you still can you can still escape"
From your evil ways
Let your soul be rearranged
Tear out all the walls inside your prison cell
Reality is Hell
But at least you remember now
After all my friend
Your heart is on the run
Sanity is done
Staring at the sun
And after all my friend
My heart is on the run
My ego has been shunned
My sanity is done
And what is left is naked and ashamed
Remember
Remember
Remember
Traveler
Cast your lines
Into the deep
Take good care
From the sea
When you return
Back to shore
Remember
What you've seen
Remember....
