Track Name: Gotta Get It 'Goin
"Gotta Get It Goin'"

Gotta get it goin' --- i don't have the time i had when i was young.
Got a lot of ideal words, but nothing that can actually provide.
I have hid content behind my sketches… but eventually, you gotta hang some pieces on the wall.
Track Name: Fit to Advise
"Fit to Advise"

Hey little brother! Let's go for a ride!
But clean that look off your eyes first.
Man, I told you before! … if i'm fit to drive, then I am sure as hell fit to advise you.

Hey little brother, whatcha got on your mind???
I guarantee you I've been below that line.
So I wouldn't worry!
Between drugs & women… you'll be doin' alright if at least one ain't hard to find.

I know you burn with desire, but easy tiger, she's so lovely & complex.
Please, take my advice before you start…

I know you're dying to try it, but easy tiger… have you researched its full effects?
Please, take my advice before you start…

And if you're ever feeling expired! Well, easy tiger, it goes one right through the head!
Please, take my advice before you start...
Track Name: I Do It 'Cause I Love It (Can We Dance About That Fact?)
"I Do It 'Cause I Love It (Can We Dance About That Fact?)"

I do it 'cause i love it, but it ain't that bad when you make some money from it...
If your mother's crying, drive to Carolina & wipe it from her eyes.
Or, if your daddy's dying, you can say you'll take care of him & it won't be a lie.
Or, if your brother's cold… wrap him in a jacket straight from 5th Ave.
Or, if your friend is gone, you can paddle down the Soane & smile as you go & say "I know why you feel at home… Now we can make our own!"

Where do you wanna go???
'Cause I found a spinning globe & i'm putting my finger down now.
Where it stops will be our new home!
You know, I ain't got no preference…
'Cause i've seen all kinds of folks & they all look good to me.
And exactly what i mean, is that our differences don't make a difference to me…
Now, can we dance about that fact, jack???

How can I properly pay homage to you?
You've been here way before me (be here way after too...)
But it's something that you said… something that you did…
That swirls inside my head & moves through my limbs.
And it makes me want to spend all my time with you
'cause we are ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!!
So, can't we dance about that fact, jack???
Track Name: Peaceful Heart/Manic Oppressive
"Peaceful Heart/Manic Oppressive"

I have a peaceful heart to give you if you'd lay down your blade.
You say you don't deserve it, but you would be amazed…

Only you. Only you can give me the spark we need to make a change.

You have a crazy thing to tell me, and i know it can't wait.
"I wanted much more for my 3 boys, but it's the way my mind was made…"

Only you. Only you can give me the spark we need to make a change.

You see a flower in the garden & then everything's okay.
I feel it, too, in the simplest things… no, my god, you're not insane!
Come talk to me…
Come talk to me…. and give me the spark we need to make a change.
Track Name: Balance
"Balance"

Magic-thinking pills for my birthday (mmm!)
Magic-thinking pills on christmas day (oh joy!)
Oh, you know me so well…

Nah, i ain't got no school…
Nothing i have to do…
i just want to stay awake & alive with you.
Imagine all the things that we could do in one night with this focus!

Whiskey in my glass…
Whiskey in my glass 'cause i'm thirsty.
Whiskey in my glass OH! Only whiskey in my glass please & thank you.

(((((Cocaine. Cocaine! COCAINE! Co-co-caaaiiiiiiiinnnnnne!)))))

Cocaine for RIGHT NOW!
Cocaine… I don't wanna see no vertical mirrors staring at me!

Put it on my tongue…
Put it on my tongue 'cause i'm ready.
And you can hold my hand… and we can go out walking together.
Outsiders, don't be scared! It's a very peaceful endeavor.
(Don't ya know?! Don't ya know?!)
No, you don't 'til you've tried!
And loved.

These are my imbalances… though, I can control mine with decisions.
And oh i wanna relate to you…
And oh i wanna be closer to you...
And oh i wanna rescue you when yours attack without warning….
without warning…
Track Name: Darryl Quinn
"Darryl Quinn"

Darryl Quinn was my best friend
'Til his daddy beat the queer out of him.
He was only trying to say…
You can't help what turns you on… and you can't help just who you love.
Though, how do you get off the lonely road (?)
if no one will tell you where you are welcome.

Now Darryl Quinn has 4 lovely kids…
A wife & a yard & a porsche so red…
I'm only trying to say, you can't turn off what turns you on… and you can't help just who you love.
Though, how do you get off the lonely road (?)
when the ones that surround you are not who you'd planned to.
Track Name: Empathy for Cho
"Empathy for Cho"

I tried a lot of guns 'til I found the right one…
It's how i will change everything…
and take that change with me…

But are you so sure that it means anything???
your life, or that of anyone else you meet???

Help me help you understand.
It's not the gun that kills the man.
I never asked for this power…
and I wish to give it back.

And I would if I could, babe, but oh my poor parents…
the monster they have made.

Cho: "I have this power… And I can't understand how I have this power… Someone.. Anyone.. Someone innocent.. could be walking down the street.. on their way home to see their family… Someone in school --- hopeful minds listening.. learning.. A peaceful man, alone, just sleeping… and then BANG! BANG! … Dead. Done. I can do that??? I have that power??? That's so fucking flimsy. It doesn't make any sense! I cannot accept that, and my own sanity.. at the same time…"
Track Name: Stupid Questions
"Stupid Questions"

You asked me what would I say to "an apology, man" for marginalizing me, man..
during your "discovery of god"…
i'd say you're lucky i'm so forgiving…

then you asked me what would i say… and then you asked me…
do i still miss.. do i still miss my surfer girl?
i don't know why you'd ask me that now, man… i've still got sand in my shoes…
and sand in my hair…
sand in my soul.

i thought i heard you say! … do i ever miss.. do i ever miss.. Clay? I don't know why you'd ask me that, man. That ain't ever changed...

You asked me do I ever miss.. do i ever miss.. my brother? I don't know why you'd ask me that, man. I can still hear his laughter...
Track Name: Engelhard Grocery 1997: Mama's Outta Stamps
"Engelhard Grocery 1997: Mama's Outta Stamps"

You cracked the seal to a red envelope.
Fifty dollars from your father…
but it was for your blue-eyed son to hold.
Yes, it's my birthday… but you need it more than I.
And besides, I'll have another one next year & we are holding up the line.
Track Name: Danielle
"Danielle"

Danielle,
have you anything for me?
A glimpse of your bright gaze?
Or, at least a little hint to the little secrets i know you're hiding from me…?

Your lovely brown eyes watch me like two armed guards.
I tried to close them tight before they caught on.

I am not quite a man, but I know that I can… and i'll get there for you.
If you'll be my friend... share your thoughts & your bed…
and if I take your hand in mine, will you smile at me?
Track Name: Wild Horse at the Derby
"Wild Horse at the Derby"

I am a wild horse at the derby.
They're all starting at me.

I am a wild horse running down Houston.
So who could understand me???

I am a wild horse at the derby.
I'm so full of potential, babe, but I wouldn't bet on me...
Track Name: Eternal Reassurance
"Eternal Reassurance"

Oh, I don't have room for any more friends.
I keep them all close to home.
No one else can come in.
The doors have been closed… no matter who is waiting 'round the bend.

And thus spoke an Angel, i would guess right on time...
And I could wade through a sea of infinite Aprils
if I knew she was on the other side.
Tell me… are you on the other side?

It took a long time, but I feel good.
I can crack a little smile without wondering if I should.
Oh, the source.. it is unknown. Though, I'd imagine it came from 'round the bend.

And thus spoke an Angel, i would guess right on time...
And I could wade through a sea of infinite Aprils
if I knew she was on the other side.
Tell me… are you on the other side?
