If you don't listen up, you're asking to be told
If you had a walk like mine, you'd crown it the king of soul
Maybe I don't want it
You take anybody
I cant afford it
Shake hardening like a fire
Too many body swerves and loose control
I wonder am I right or I'm getting old?
My eyes have seen the glory but my bodies on hold
I hope I get to heaven before the devil knows I'm cold Mr. Jack
The hungry feed my only hole
'Cause if you had a head like mine you'd crown it the king of soul
Shake my bible
Walk on my hands
Rub out making your first mistake I've been told
Maybe I won't like it
If you won't listen up, you're asking to be told
If you had a head like mine you'd crown it the king of soul
Too many body swerves and find control
I wonder am right or I'm getting old [?]
'Til my eyes have seen the glory but my bodies still on hold
I hope I get to heaven before the devil knows I'm cold Mr. Jack
The hungry feed my only hole
'Cause if you had a head like mine you'd crown it the king of soul...
Disturbing the old times, the gift of science
Lots of back washing and sticks of paper
Sticks of paper lighting the way
If you find you don't know where your going
It's in the bush, it's in the trees
I'm gonna run round there twice
It's too quick, it's too late
It's much too quick and it's far too late
I'm rolling away
And I'm rolling away, and I'm rolling away for the last time
And I'm hauling away, and I'm hauling away
Too many things left unsaid
And I'm rolling away, and I'm rolling away
Somebody here is talking
And I'm hauling away, and I'm hauling away,
Somebody here is sober
Somebody here is older
Macbeth times 2
A lazy suit and bloody hands
Come taste your faith in every street
The sound of money just kissed me in the face
My trousers aren't the right size
I go straight to pocket
Take one step up and back to business
My mind is closed so my body speaks
My mind is clothed, my body squeaks
And I'm rolling away, and I'm rolling away
And I'm facing my only true smile
And I'm hauling away, and I'm hauling away
Somebody there is calling
So I'm rolling away, I'm rolling away
A sound of time is talking
And I'm hauling away, and I'm hauling away
This party here is too loud
Nobody knows what clothes they're wearing
Nobody knows which road is the white one
So here we go holding up the motion
You raise your hopes, you raise your chin
You raise your glass with nothing in it
It's a momentary lapse, a common habit
Support your faith with this party face, and party pieces,
And with their party faces, and party people
With their powdered faces
Just rolling away, just rolling away, just rolling away,
Just rolling...
Raintime, raintime, raintime...
Stop wearing my shirts, stop wearing my socks
I'm not your mother, I can't be bothered
You say you don't think I'm funny anymore
So you put my face in the bottom drawer
You keep your eyes for the boy next door
I don't call that funny anymore
Just catch a mirror, find out who's lonesome
My suit is fine, I'm not a DJ
You say you found it, I say you lost it
I say you know why I cant find it
I know what you've been saying
Yes, I know where the kitchen sink is
You're making eyes for the boy next door
I don't call that funny anymore
Woman me and I hold my eyes
And I keep it sane but I don't know why
Keep going time, keep going questions
My eyes have seen my own mess
I know why the bedrooms stinking
My house is full of strangers
I'm not making for the boy next door
So keep your pants in the bottom draw
It's coming to you, it's coming to you, it's coming to you
It's riding to you
Here it comes on two brown legs
I go by it [?][x7]
Who shot him in the back - peacetime
Who took him by surprise - tippy toes
You cant bury that door 3 times
Hide my eyes 4 times
I'm gonna sink my teeth into KANSAS [x8]
I reach a higher plain
When I speak so slow and hardly breath
They're gonna run out of shapes
When they fetch my family
I I must confess I'm gonna see that man again
I'm gonna turn back the clock and set the foot in KANSAS
I'm gonna KANSAS [x8]
I'm gonna shoot him by the clock - peace [time]
I'm gonna shoot him in the legs - peace [time]
You're gonna bury that door - meantime
You're gonna pick him off the floor 3 times
I I I'm a man and I I I'm alive
I I must confess I'm gonna carry that man
I'm gonna shake him by the hand
I'm gonna sleep in foreign lands
I'm gonna turn back the clock
I'm gonna KANSAS in the spring
You know I'm gonna KANSAS [x8]
I'm showing my hands and I'm showing my arms
Keeping it all down here, so don't look round
Yes, it matters - yes, there's truth
Showing me failures - I know it's you
Swinging like a baby, caught like a man
Mary Jesus, they call me back
Deposit insect hand me a king
I'm going down here like a silly Joe Bag
Fat baby and a fat little man
soul body soul body soul body soul!
I'm in me, I'm not in you
somebody somebody somebody here don't don't fuck with me
Swing like a baby and you sing it like a man
I'm showing my hands [and I showing my arms
Swing like a baby] and you catch it like a man
Mary Jesus, they call me back
And like a fool I think I am
Said it don't bother me like a fat red dress
And like a fool I'm burning
Show me a little respect
Singing like a baby, acting like a man
And Mary Jesus, they call me back
So like a fool I think I am
I'm walking to you just to walk back...
Come on in and see my a's, come on in and see my i's
Come on in and see my rays, come on in and see my wife, my wife
She's got a middle just like her mother
She's got a middle certainly governed
Don't look up - don't look up and don't look down
Come on in and see my a's, come on in and see my i's
Come on in and feel my weight, come on in and see my wife, my wife
Who was it said, I don't know a thing
Who was it said, I believe everything
You check the facts, you check the facts
You eat my shits and you read my back
Come on in and see my a's, come on in and see my i's
Come on in and feel my rays, come on in and see my wife, my wife
She's got a middle sewn up like roses
She's got a middle wrapped up in poses
Don't look up - don't look up and don't look back
Who was it said, I got a funny face
Who was it said, her teeth are never straight
You check the facts, you check the facts
You taste my shits and you read my back
Come on in and see my hate, come on in and see my i's
Come on in and feel my rays, come on in and see my wife
Tame my heart, take my fears away
Tame my heart, I'll turn to pulp someday
Saint in my home - shame on my shame of pace
Hole in my bag - complacency
Hole in my soul - deficiency
Hole in my book - where someones been
Say to me "come back" and sink in me
Say to me "come back"
Turn my night to day, save my home
Shame on my big black sin
Surround me with the King of Pause
Don't say "the meek come back"
We're gonna birn in the bowl of fools
Don't say to me, don't say to me "birn a hole"
I'm gonna kill one day, don't birn a hole
Shave my belly, you gonna say to me
"I'm gonna fake every hollow break"
You gonna look like a bird wood cage
Somebody's hands have reached inside of me
Think to myself cross nothing left to say
"Come with me like walking on the water"
Walk on me, walk on me like walking on the water
Walk on me, walk on me, walk on me like walking on the water
Like swimming in the water
Like sinking in the water
Like walking on the water
Sinking in the water, sinking in the water...
[unrecognizable whispers]
I say my hands have played, hold me and never sing
All mine is still undone, hold me and I'll hold you
My hungry dream, my only saviour
I send it to you [with fly] and keep winds bad at bay
I sing my heart, I sing my heart
He thinks he injures, my kindness still unpaid
My time is all in days, my day has yet to come
I come with you IN MY HEART in my soul IN MY HEAD
My time is spent in days and days are all know
These days don't get to short
My eyes have seen too long
Maybe I say "hang on me, hang on you, hang on me, hang on you"
Who said my hands are thin
I say my hands have governed
My eyes have seen too long
I know it's been too long
My mind have seen the days
Soon this will be my day, my day in time...
[in the back Mike sings:
Someday
My heart did over
My son will say
My son will say
"My heart did over,
I keep wings bad at bay"
I'll say... I'll say... I'll say...]
He said to me "come body sing"
I say to you "my body's singing"
Whose body sings? My body's singing
Whose body sings? My body's singing
I've seen it all, I lived here too
There's nothing wide across the street
Grandmother born as I get in,
Grandmother died, she lived here too, shut that door
If there's a face then I will come today
Hang on to your mother or she might go away
Whose body sings? My body's singing
Whose body sings? My body's singing
I seen it all, they form a child
From back to front it's not too good
Divide it over, much more to do
The city laughs much more then I do
Fall asleep for years, been too much here
Lets see why we are driving on the streets
Reality is all grown up now
I'm looking up my old friends now
Shut that door right on my face
Shut that door, you ain't going no place
I seen it all from back to front
Just pass it down and I won't need to get old
I seen it all, I lived here too
There's nothing wide across the road
Grandmother born as I get in,
Grandmother died, she lived here too
Shut that door, gonna fall on my face
Shut that door, you ain't going no place
She said to me "come body sing"
I say to you "my body's singing"
He said to me "my body's singing"
She said to me "come body sing"
I say to you "my body's singing"
Hit by the waist, my body's singing
I got a wound, all up and away
If there's a road, then there has to be a place
If this is a time, then we've got some time to waste
If there's a road, then there has to be a place
If this is a time, then we've got some time to waste
