Pretty Things

All the pretty things around you can only take you so far away,
They can take you so far away...
You, you know no good man would ever ask for blind allegiance,
So don't keep hanging on,
You don't owe any cause your precious soul's alliance,
So don't keep hanging on.
All the pretty things around you can only take you so far away,
They can take you so far away...
You, you know no good lie would ever take you anywhere,
So don't keep hanging on,
All your loyalty will never be returned to you, no...
So don't keep hanging on,
Don't hang on...
Why so loyal to the one that hurts you all along?
I guess you think it's easier,
To let someone make all those tough decisions,
(You know it's true, you know it's true, you know it's true...)
All the pretty things around you can only take you so far away,
They can take you so far away...
All the pretty things around you,
All the pretty things around you...
You know it's true, you know that you are under a spell.

Grow Up Tall
03:04
|

|
Take a fallen seed,
Bury it in leaves,
Sit around and watch it grow,
Picture me,
Pair of dirty knees,
Kneeling in the mangroves,
Just to wait and see...
If it grows up tall,
If it grows at all,
Then there it will be to suffer winter, spring, summer, fall.
We should never be,
Grounded as a tree,
Buried in the hollow,
We've got to be free...
If it grows up tall,
If it grows at all,
Then there it will be to suffer winter, spring, summer, fall.
I can't stay here, I just can't stay here,
I can't stay here, I just can't stay here anymore,
If it grows up tall, if it grows at all,
If it grows at all, bury it in leaves, to sit around and watch it grow.
If it grows up tall,
If it grows at all,
Then there it will be to suffer winter, spring, summer, fall...
We were born free,
It was meant to be,
And we can leave whenever we want at all.

And I Do
02:58
|

|
Don't pay attention to the things I say,
Don't go and take it serious,
I said it way too late...
One, two, three words,
I didn't mean to hesitate,
It's what I didn't say.
(And I do, I do...)
Didn't mean to hesitate,
(And I do...)
Ooh, didn't mean to,
(Love you...)
It's what I didn't say.
I've never been a man of many words,
But you know I take it serious,
Said it way too late,
One, two, three words,
Never meant to make you wait,
It's what I didn't say.
(And I do, I do...)
Didn't mean to hesitate,
(And I do...)
Ooh, didn't mean to,
(Love you...)
It's what I didn't say.
I can't say what happens from here,
But I can say that I do, that I do, that I do...
And I do, I do, love you...
It's what I didn't say.

Mean Love

The black in your eyes is telling me to fall inside,
Despite the fact that I don't know you,
I'm prepared to put it all aside.
The black in your eyes is telling me to fall inside,
Despite the fact that I can't have you,
And I don't know what to do,
I'm prepared to put it all aside.
I am prepared to fall inside for a little while,
Only for a little while,
'Cause I live in a dream,
I'm just a young one,
That doesn't mean it's not love for a little while.
Our words all this time are walking on a fine line,
He don't want you talking to me,
He don't want you talking to me.
Our worlds should collide,
If only for a little while,
I'm prepared to put it all aside.
I am prepared to fall inside for a little while,
Only for a little while,
'Cause I live in a dream,
I'm just a young one,
That doesn't mean it's not love for a little while,
I am prepared.

Seekers
03:42

Day, night, day, night...
When will they release the wolves,
To find the runners beneath the city streets?
All the seekers have gone and hid,
All the seekers have gone and hid.
Day, night, day, night...
When will we find time to plot revenge,
On those old bags of bones with no principles?
All the seekers have gone and hid,
All my loving for lies has gone away, yeah.
Day, night, day, night,
Day, night, day, night,
People trying to live, so they hide away, and they can live,
Hide away...
What's there out there to fear anyway?
We're not gonna hide away,
We're not gonna hide underneath the ground...
Don't hide away, seeker, you've got the power,
You don't have to hide away,
All the brothers and sisters,
We won't remain divided,
All my loving goes up to people trying to live.
Seekers, they're ready to die,
They're ready to die,
You might find yourselves in a bad situation,
The things that you said weren't so great for the nation,
We should never forget all they've given in their questing for the truth.

Cher Ami

I see all of mankind looking down at the world around me,
No, no I can't get no respect from mankind.
And all the pretty people won't give you their time,
All the punk ass kids will kick you around,
You can take everything that's thrown at you,
You're made to survive, you're made to survive.
We're just bitter 'cause we can't fly,
We can try but there's no guarantee,
I take back everything I've said,
I was young, just a young boy.
I see all of mankind putting weight on the world around them,
No, no I can't get no respect from mankind.
All the punk ass kids will kick you around,
You can take everything that's thrown at you,
You're made to survive, you're made to survive.
We're just bitter 'cause we can't fly,
We can try but there's no guarantee,
I take back everything I've said,
I was young, just a young boy.
Cher Ami,
Cher Ami,
Cher Ami, you're a good messenger, Cher Ami,
And you've got to get up and fly away,
You've got to get that message through,
You've got to get up,
Before you end up,
Like the other two,
You've got to get up,
You've got to get that message through.
We're just bitter 'cause we can't fly,
We can try but there's no guarantee,
I take back everything I've said,
I was young, just a young boy.

Lupa

Truth told in the form of a feeling,
Eyes appearing in the dark...
Lupa, such a pretty one,
So free, so free but so bonded,
She's always quick to the bite,
Eyes appearing in the dark,
And then she's gone out of sight.
Lupa, she's always quick to the bite,
Lupa, she's always quick to the bite.
Behold, the majestic devourers,
Howling at the Luna,
Always ever-loving creatures,
Loyal to the blood,
Eyes appearing in the dark...
Lupa, such a pretty one,
So free, so free but so bonded,
She's always quick to the bite,
Eyes appearing in the dark...
Lupa, she's always quick to the bite,
Lupa, she's always quick to the bite,
Lupa, she's always quick to the bite,
Lupa, she's always quick to the bite.
Lupa, such a pretty one,
So free, so free but so bonded,
She's always quick to the bite,
Eyes appearing in the dark,
And then she's gone out of sight,
She's gone out of sight...

Fear of Growing
03:30

It's so strange that everybody likes to take so much abuse,
That'll never change, 'cause it hurts too much to change your ways,
(I can't see us changing...)
All the luscious plants, they're always growing,
All the luscious plants, why do they grow?
We, we don't wanna grow,
We don't wanna grow,
We don't wanna grow out,
We don't wanna grow up,
That's gonna hurt us bad.
It's so strange that everybody likes to take so much abuse,
That'll never change, ain't nothin' ever change underneath the sun,
(I can't see us changing...)
All the luscious plants, they're always growing,
All the luscious plants, why do they grow?
We, we don't wanna grow,
We don't wanna grow,
We don't wanna grow out,
We don't wanna grow up,
That's gonna hurt us bad.

I'm Free

I just open my eyes wider,
I had to melt you, my dear,
Don't ask me why,
'Cause I'm the eye in the sky and I've got the power to make you high.
I just open my eyes wider,
I've got to open up to be free,
I'm here and there and everywhere,
Got to open up to be free.
When you die you come home to me,
When you die you come home to me,
Follow me and you can be free.
I've got to open up,
(Open up, open up,)
I've got to open up,
(Open up, open up...)
I just open my eyes wider,
I've got to open up to be free,
I am the Buddha's mind,
I am the will that binds,
Got to open up to be free.
When you die you come home to me,
When you die you come home to me,
Follow me and you can be free.
It's okay, Jack,
It's okay, Jack,
It's okay, Jack,
It's okay, Jack...
I've got to open up,
(Open up, open up,)
I've got to open up,
(Open up, open up...)

Kiss

Now I'm seeing something that I like,
Love is just too strong,
Love is just too strong of a word to use these days,
But now I'm seeing so far into the future,
I wanna find some love,
But I don't wanna get myself in too deep.
Where I can never, never ever get back out,
Now I'm thinking too much about it,
Never ever gonna act on it.
Light shines down upon your lips in the moonlight,
(In the moonlight...)
Words flow in one ear and out the other,
(In the moonlight...)
Now I'm thinking too much about it,
Love is just too strong,
I was told by a wise man to follow my heart these days,
Now I'm sinking so far into a bender,
I wanna find some love,
(Don't say love, don't say love, it's too deep...)
Where I can never, never ever get back out,
Now I'm thinking too much about it,
Never ever gonna act on it.
Light shines down upon your lips in the moonlight,
(In the moonlight...)
Words flow in one ear and out the other,
(In the moonlight...)
I don't wanna get myself in too deep.
I don't wanna get myself in too deep.
I don't wanna get myself in too deep.
I don't wanna get myself in too deep...
Love is just too strong,
You'll never get back out.
