I have too much too much I know neo neo neo neo neo neo ne
I don’t have much that much to show neo neo neo neo neo neo
I’m not sure that new means pure
There’s a war between less and more
I’m out of touch of touch I know neo neo neo neo neo neo ne
I try to do too much I know neo neo neo neo neo neo neo
I have too much too much ego neo neo neo neo neo ne
I try to let it go it go neo neo neo neo neo neo neo
I’m not sure that new means pure
There’s a war between less and more

Story
02:31

I had a story to tell you
It was not old, it was not new
It was presently traveling through you
Stories that make life feel new
And to hear it can alter your worldview
You can now see
You can now be
Anyone by projecting
The thought out loud
Into the crowd
And it’s all up to you now
Show me what you’ve found
I’d like to write it down
Your mother would be proud
I had a story to tell you
It was not red, it was not blue
And the colors were all in a new hue
How could that be?
Sure beats me
But it’s the only story that I knew
Tell it again
Now we’ll pretend
That we’re making a movie
The actor’s are cast
The present is past
And it’s all up to you now
Show me what you’ve found
I’d like to write it down
Your mother would be proud

Cherry
03:20
|
|

Cherry is a color and a fruit and a flavor
And the name of my lover
And the fruits of my labor
Cherry doesn’t carry
Any weight on her shoulders
She is light as a feather
She is strong as a boulder
Cherry
Cherry is the name of my love
Cherry is a cola you can drink as a skater
From the rink on the corner
Or the tray of the waiter
Cherry doesn’t tarry
She is quick as the gator
With the snap of a motor
On the bed of the freighter
Cherry
Cherry is the name of my
I want to see from the top of the cherry tree
But that’s not the kind of view that I need
Cherry isn’t wary when the world tries to scare her
She is brave as the tiger
She can fend off the terror
Cherry takes a minute
When she looks in the mirror
She can see her reflection
From the back of the foyer
Cherry takes a stand
Working for what’s right
Cherry takes my hand
Leads me to new heights
Cherry’s in demand
Showing late at night
Cherry understands
How to get it right

Heaven's Gate
03:26
|
|
||
|
Don’t catch me looking
Or you will be late
Don’t catch me looking
Or you will be late
For a very important date
And who knows how long you’ll wait
Like it or not
I accept my fate
Like it or not
I accept my fate
And the heavens will open their gate
And tell me what I await
Is it one
Is it zero?
Is it sword
Is it shield?
Is it fake
Is it real?
Take me to church
Then take me to the bank
I’ll listen close
To the words of the saint
And the teller gives you a wink
And asks you what you think
Mind over matter
Can become a trap
It doesn’t matter
When mine chooses to nap
All the wires crossed and frayed
Can you show me why I’m afraid?
Don’t buy in
There’s no reason to be afraid
Whether crossed by day or night
Keep your toes face forward
But don’t forget to ask
Is it one
Is it zero?
Is it sword
Is it shield?
Is it fake
Is it real?
Is it time to reveal?

He Drives A Bus
03:39
|
|

|
He drives a bus
He drives a bus
And he doesn’t
Put up much of a fuss
Even though
He drives a bus
He drives a bus
From dawn to dusk
From birth to dust
It suits him well
He likes the smell
Of musty seats
And motor oil
He knows the route
He wears the suit
He died for us
He drives a bus
He drives a bus
He drives a bus
And he doesn’t
Put up much of a fuss
Even though
He drives a bus
He drives a bus
From dawn to dusk
From birth to dust
He’s fifty-one
He has a son
But his wife left
When they was young
He knows the moves
He drives real smooth
In God we trust
He drives a bus

Evermore
03:46
|
|

|
You can look where you want to leap
You can catch what you want to keep
You have sought what you ought to seek
You can trip where you must retreat
Carefully playing in the street
There is much that we have to learn
Not as much as we have to burn
When the lines get out of turn
When the times you cannot discern
Faithfully waiting for the urn
Evermore the evermore the evermore
It’s closer than before
I can feel it in the air tonight
I could reel it in a cast of might
If you’re slipping I would hold on tight
If you’re shipping I would expedite
Counting on that afterlife
Evermore the evermore the evermore
It’s closer than before

People of the South
02:59

People of the south get cold
When the winter wraps around their soul
I was traveling without a coat
And the people of the south grew so cold
Used to have to bare my soul
And exposure may have took its toll
I was traveling without a coat
And the people of the south grew so cold
Knock knock
Let me in
I’m as good as
I’m ever been
Restart
Have a heart
Everybody gets one
You can practice mind control
Try to weaken every new impulse
You can cover up a gaping hole
But the people of the south stay so cold
Used to stoke the fire with coal
When the temperature was 5 below
There was water heating on the stove
But the people of the south stood so cold
Knock knock
Let me in
I’m as good as
I’m ever been
Restart
Have a heart
Everybody gets one
People of the south reload
If you tell them that their car’s been towed
I was traveling with heavy loads
And the people of the south were so cold
I was feeling like a G.I. Joe
In the winter going commando
I was traveling without my clothes
And the people of the south turned their nose
Knock knock
Let me in
I’m as good as
I’m ever been
Restart
Have a heart
Everybody gets one

Time to Have Kids
04:07
|
|
||
|
It’s time to start having kids
After all isn’t that what your parents did?
When they were your age, they had kids
Children are a bundle of confusion
They tear off their clothes and they speak in tongues
Like a prophet with a vision of destruction
Some think they would rather be
Young and wild and carefree
But you always remind me
You always remind me that it’s almost
Time to start having kids
After all isn’t that what your grandparents did?
They had kids, then their kids had kids
Children lack discipline and courtesy
They scream in the halls
And they write on the walls
Like a spirit in possession of an entity
Some think they would rather be
Without responsibility
But you always remind me
You always remind me
That’s it’s almost time to start doing
What your parents did when they were your age
They were getting very busy in the city
Feeling frisky drinking whisky with affection but no protection
They were having lots of kids
