I don’t want to play with you anymore, so leave.
I don’t want to play with you anymore, so leave.
I don’t want to play with you anymore.

You’re lost again on a road you know walking in the rain
When you leave your destination always is the same
You think you’ll know it when you get there, it’s why you couldn’t stay

You couldn’t stay…

You’re beautiful in your desperation, in that help me way
The more you try the more you give up, or so that’s what you say
You’re going fast but you’re going nowhere, because it’s just a game

It’s just a game…

It’s feeling like another brother treated you the same
So you give up what you always should have kept instead for pain
Just one more time before you go we’re gonna play this game

It’s just a game…
It’s just a game…
It’s just a game…
It’s just a game…

I lose…
I lose…
I lose…
I lose…

I don’t want to play with you anymore, so leave.
I don’t want to play with you anymore, so leave.
I don’t want to play with you anymore, so leave.
I don’t want to play with you anymore, so leave.

Sadness feeds on wants and needs
And we just gave up… what was free
Don’t close up there is enough
That we can have some more, if we please

Badness breeds what goodness needs
And you are bad enough… for me
Open up and give some love
Till I can’t want for anymore, please

It’s a long night come to morning
Gettin’ what we need…
There ain’t nothin’ worse than rushin’
Through this evening…
Nah.. nah.. nah… nah… no, no, no, no, no.

Madness leads to thoughts that bleed
Into the mind above… above me
Showing up was not enough
You can’t just want… to please

It’s a long night come to morning
Gettin’ what we need…
There ain’t nothin’ worse than rushin’
Through this evening…
Nah.. nah.. nah… nah… no, no, no, no, no.

Badness breeds what goodness needs
And you are bad enough… for me
Open up and give me love
Till I can’t want for anymore, oh please

It’s a long night come to morning
Gettin’ what we need…
There ain’t nothin’ worse than rushin’
Through this evening…
Nah.. nah.. nah… nah… no, no, no, no…
Nah.. nah.. nah… nah… no, no, no, no…
Nah.. nah.. nah… nah… no, no, no, no, no.

Colors… blue, green…
Enter…. the scene
Eyes closed… open…
In time… to see…
The very… ending…
Of the… winter… close
Like a flame time flows

My past… present…
Future… hesitant…
Just born… out of…
What’s left… in death…
And the… water….
Of the… morning… grows…
Like a flame time flows

Then my… lady…
Comes around… quietly…
And she… takes me…
In bliss… fully…
Through her… so deep…
All the… secrets… she knows
Like a flame time flows

Secrets… she just… knows
From her head… to her… toes
Suddenly… now it all… shows
Like a… flame time… flows.

I won’t obey no cross
I won’t obey no gun
But I will obey your love
Yeah I’m gonna do what I can

Because I disobeyed their wallets
I disobeyed their plans
But I will obey your love
Yeah I’m gonna do what I can

I wanna be your lover
I wanna be your man
I’m gonna be your everything
Yeah I’m gonna do what I can

Don’t you playing with no wasp
You won’t be buying no salve
Come on inside my love
I’m gonna do what I can

You gonna stay in my house
You gonna stay till the end
Will you obey our love
You just do what you can

I’m wanna be your lover
I’m wanna be your man
I’m wanna be your everything
Yeah I’m gonna do what I can

I’m gonna be your lover
I’m gonna be your man

I’m gonna be your everything
Yeah I’m gonna do what I can

I’m gonna be your everything
Yeah I’m gonna do what I can

Tickle me and I’ll tickle you
All is fair in torture and it’s fun too

You jump right in and fall right off
Doesn’t matter now, we all are lost

You can let it go if it drags you down
There’s nothing else for you here now

Because you are as you are what you are
Runaway beautiful
Yeah you are as you are what you are
Runaway beautiful

Human beings don’t like being alone
We can’t be by ourselves so we’re on the phone

Pick it up where you left it off
It’s around your neck and you’re jumping off

When your feelings are down like a cut real deep
You can tie me down and watch me sleep

Because you are as you are what you are
Runaway beautiful
Yeah you are as you are what you are
Runaway beautiful

Because you are what you are
Runaway

Yeah we are what we are
Runaway

A mouse is getting married
To another mouse
Guess that’s the way it should be
At least that’s how it sounds
We all cry at the end
But some of us cried at the beginning

Later in the evening
After giving up
I start worrying
If I have done enough
We all lived in the end
But some of us weren’t really living

Fantom floating circles
My eyes follow down
The motes could be everything
And everything’s around
We all die in the end
But some of us died in the beginning

I’ll just let the star sun send
Me a piece of energy
Across 93 million miles
Listen to the sound of the wind
Blowing through a hickory tree and
Watch the blue sky turn…
Watch the blue sky turn…
Watch the blue sky turn… and see.

My black bicycle goes faster than the sunlight
I will beat you there

My blue shirt is cooler than the moonlight
Not as if I’d care

My face looks like some famous person
Think I’ll grow out my hair

It was one, two, four, and eight is where we’re at
There’s at least a million three ways I don’t know and I can’t
So I’ll pick up the stick and swing at it like I know who I am

It was one, two, four, and eight is where we’re at
There’s at least a million three ways I don’t know and I can’t
You can’t fool me with the mystery, I know who I am

Your green eyes dart faster than the fireflies
I’ll try not to stare

Your bad way says that you want a fight
I’ll come over there

Your face looks like somebody I know
Aren’t we quite a pair

It was one, two, four, and eight is where we’re at
There’s at least a million three ways I don’t know and I can’t
So I’ll pick up the stick and swing at it like I know who I am

It was one, two, four, and eight is where we’re at
There’s at least a million three ways I don’t know and I can’t
You can’t fool me with the mystery, I know who I am

There’s at least a million three ways I don’t know and I can’t

The lady with the wrinkles that she can’t see
Bought a one way ticket from somewhere east
When she goes north she’ll finally be
Somewhere the day and night aren’t real

She’ll spend her hours and days and weeks
Running fast to keep the breeze on her cheeks
While the sun is up so she can see
Without ever looking directly

We all worry about where we are
Where we’re going and where we aren’t
Worry makes hurry and
Hurrying ain’t getting us anywhere today
Anywhere today

The man with the dark eyes can’t see
Outside the walls he’s hung in these sheets
Temporarily permanent at least for several weeks
While he works out all of his retreats

He’ll spend his hours and minutes and secs
Walking slow booted in warm dry feet
While the moon is so thin that he can’t see
Where he is looking directly

We all worry about where we are
Where we’re going and where we aren’t
Worry makes us stop and
Stopping ain’t getting us anywhere today
Anywhere today
