Idol
I see the sad people
I see the feeling on their faces
I walk among them
I am at one, still part of the race
I have walked with affliction
I have walked with the lame
Walking without expectation
Still barely a part of the game
I don't know what to tell you
I dont know what to say
The star that guides us
Has lost its way
The things I used to fill me
The imaginings of meaning
Fly away scared and empty
Leaving no room for dreaming
I watch the idols
And the gurus as they fall
And in the end it leaves nothing
It means nothing, nothing at all
I don't know what to tell you
I dont know what to say
The star that guides us
Has lost its way
I don't know what to tell you
I don't know what to say
The star that guides us
Has lost its way

Find You
I've got nothing to say
But I keep trying to say it anyway
There's nothing that I want to do
But I never even got to find you
I've been lost for years
On tangled roads of doubt and fear
Looking for the trace of a clue
Something that might lead me to you
Who am I?
I know less all the time
Where are you?
I don't have a clue
What will be?
The more I look the less I see
Who can say?
Everyone gets lost on the way
I don't think I can beleive in the dream
Of two souls becoming one
No one can see the darkness hidden
In a soul that knows no one
I was sitting in my grave writing a song
About the good things that never come
About the sky that falls out of the blue
And how I never did find you
Who am I?
I know less all the time
Where are you?
I don't have a clue
What will be?
The more I look the less I see
Who can say?
Everyone gets lost on the way
Who am I?
I know less all the time
Where are you?
I don't have a clue
What will be?
The more I look the less I see
Who can say?
Everything gets lost on the way
I never even got to find you

Ember
These are dark days indeed
In case you haven't noticed
If you're not paying attention
If you've lost yourself in distraction
Ignorance reigns supreme
The fascists are living their dream
Nasty, cruel and mean
Tearing down everything
Who will stand for freedom?
Who will stand for light?
Who will stand for peace and love?
Who will stand for what is right?
A darkness descends across the land
A gloom heavy and deep that seeps into your bones
Will the truly human who remain
Shelter the ember and kindle the flame?
Ignorance reigns supreme
The fascists are living their dream
Nasty, cruel and mean
Tearing down everything
Who will stand for freedom?
Who will stand for light?
Who will stand for peace and love?
Who will stand for what is right?
A darkness descends across the land
A gloom heavy and deep that seeps into your bones
Will the truly human who remain
Shelter the ember, kindle the flame?

Happy
I want to wake up happy
And thankful for another special day
Oh, why can't I feel that way?
I know every moment is fleeting and precious
And once it's gone, it's gone
But why does life sometimes seem so long?
I don't know where I'm going
I don't know where I belong
I don't know what I'm doing
What's up or down, right or wrong
I'm hoping that it's not too late
While feeling that it is
I find it hard to dream; it is what it is
A stupid boy had a dream
Of finding the perfect girl
Of living in the light of love in a hateful world
I'm hoping that it's not too late
Hoping there's a destination
Knowing that time is running out
Still trying to be patient
Sometimes I'm lost and empty
Sometimes I've got my plate full
But through it all
I try to remember to be grateful
I don't know where I'm going
I don't know where I belong
I don't know what I'm doing
What's up or down, right or wrong
I don't know where I'm going
I don't know where I belong
I don't know what I'm doing
What's up or down, right or wrong

Gone

Gone
Like a streak of fire
Across the deep sky
Catches your eye
And then it's gone
Like a burning candle flame
Flickers in the wind
Disappears into darkness
And then it's gone
Moths and rust
Ashes and dust
The shadow of life
The sudden night
Like a thief in the night
Like a shadow
That hides in darkness
Like your breath
Joins with the wind
And goes blowing
Across the land
Like two people in love
Hand in hand
Breaking the walls
So they can both expand
Moths and rust
Flowers of dust
The shadow of life
The sudden night
Like a thief in the night
Like a shadow
That hides in darkness
A voice in the wilderness
Cried out for a sign
What is lost with be found
We're bound together in the flow of time
Like a streak of fire
Across the deep sky
Catches your eye
And then it's gone
Like a burning candle flame
Flickers in the wind
Disappears into darkness
And then it's gone

Grand Design
I travel with so many memories
Where my lonely heart wants to go
We're all travelers on unfinished highways
Not knowing where they will go
So many wrong turns lead us astray
But it's the only way for us to go
Suspicions and contradictions lurk at every turn
With forks forever in a row
I look for you
But only your shadow is there
I have some good companions
But there's a sorrow in bone
And a chill in the air
Because I don't know where it is
But we're headed there
Headed there
I look for meaning
A little too much sometimes
I find myself leaning
Towards looking for the grand design
Then the sky's like a painting
Of abstract purple, orange, blue and grey
I try to stare through the confusion
And read the signs along the way
I look for you
But only your shadow is there
I have some good companions
But there's a sorrow in bone
And a chill in the air
Because I don't know where it is
But we're headed there
Headed there

Bright Cloud
My boat is in the middle of a sea
My boat is in the middle of a sea
Nothing but empty water
As far as the eye can see
My head is always filled with clouds
My head is filled with clouds
And blue sky and moon and sun and stars
Come leaking out
Follow me down
There's a place I've gone to alone
Inside that bright cloud
Are fragments of all I have known
The wind is a whisper of love
The wind is a whisper of love
But it stays somewhere
Hidden up above
In the dark night I'm chasing sleep
In the dark night I'm chasing sleep
I want to sleep and sleep and sleep and
Sleep in peace
Follow me down
There's a place I've gone to alone
Inside that bright cloud
Are all the things I've never known
Follow me down
There's a place I've gone to alone
Inside that bright cloud
Is a darkness that has never shone
Follow me down
There's a place I've gone to alone
Inside that bright cloud
Are fragments of all I have known

For What Shall It Profit A Man ?
This sick world is upside down
Inside out and wrong way round
Making profit from prisons
Profiting from suffering and misery
Making money from sickness
Making money from pain and death
The rich make the laws
That make the rich richer
Planet over profit
Human rights over profit
Compassion over profit
Survival over profit
The poor get sick and die
Just trying to get by
The greedy get greedier
By stealing the future
By killing the planet for profit
By killing the planet for profit
By killing us all for profit
By killing it all for profit
Planet over profit
Human rights over profit
Compassion over profit
Survival over profit

Get It

Get It
Don't you get it?
You're never gonna get it
You're better off without it
Don't even think about it
I wish there were a there there
How I long to go there
But there is no there there
There is nothing there
It is nowhere
Don't you get it?
You're never gonna get it
You're better off without it
Don't even think about it
There is only this blanket of sorrow
Wrapped around all I feel and do
There is no other in it with me
That's all there is, that's all she wrote
Up the creek without even a boat
Don't you get it?
You're never gonna get it
You're better off without it
Don't even think about it
I'm a tree falling in the forest
A voice in the wilderness
Baby, do you hear me?
I am tree, not another soul near me
No eye to see, no ear to hear me
Don't you get it?
You're never gonna get it
You're better off without it
Don't even think about it
Don't you get it?
You're never gonna get it
And if you get it
You might regret it
Don't you get it?
Don't you get it?
Don't you get it?
Don't you get it?

That Dumbass Bird Song

That Dumbass Bird
That dumbass bird that shit on my porch last night
That dumbass bird that shit on my porch last night
That was a song Ben Young wanted me to write
He gave me that line on the phone one night
He told me "try to write the world's worst song,
Something stupid, and with that line, well, you can't go wrong"
That dumbass bird that shit on my porch last night
That dumbass bird that shit on my porch last night
But now that bird has flown
Oh, into the concealing light
Into the west, into white
Beyond the sunset, beyond the night
Too soon, too late to say goodbye
And I want to talk with you again
We used to talk about ignorant right wing stupidity
The horror in the news and the political absurdity
How reality has become its own satiric parody
More ridiculous than any far fetched comedy
Keeping up with The Colbert Report and The Daily Show
And how for all our searching, well, we still don't know
We keep hitting that wall of "but I just can't KNOW"
It's always "I just don't know"
And now that bird has flown
Oh, into the concealing light
Into the west, into white
Beyond the sunset, beyond the night
Too soon, too late to say goodbye
And I want to talk with you again
I told him how I loved "Surfin' Cadillac"
And he replied "Oh, that was a piece of crap,
The only thing I liked it about was" and then he laughed,
"Was I got you and Earl to sing 'shooby dooby ahhh'"
Well, I opened my notebook just the other day
And there staring up at me from an empty page
Was the one line he made sure I had written down
The last thing he said to me and that I write down
It said:
That dumbass bird that shit on my porch last night
That dumbass bird that shit on my porch last night
That dumbass bird that shit on my porch last night
That dumbass bird that shit on my porch last night
That dumbass bird that shit on my porch last night
That dumbass bird that shit on my porch last night
