Snakes & Lizards

You call me but I don't hear
The air is awfully crowded by my fear
And you know me very well
From years of seeing all my show and tell
And when you're lost you turn to
The morning frost to know which way to go
And you go and you go
Cause you're snakes and lizards
When you crawl on me
You look into my eyes and I cannot blink
And what you're telling me
Is opening me up and I start to think
of snakes & lizards
The life you lead is very plain
You never get caught up in social games
And the love you need comes from the rain
As long as you drink water you're sustained
And when you're lost you turn to
The morning frost to know which way to go
And you go and you go
Cause you're snake and lizards
When you crawl on me
You look into my eyes and I cannot blink
And what you're telling me
Is opening me up and I start to think
of snakes & lizards
You're always telling me
To listen to the earth when it's hard to see
And always getting me
To base camp in my mind so I can just be

Augustine

When you catch me in a field at hours
When the grass is black
Don't expect me to sing with your chatter
I am in my own world for a month
When you give to me a fountain to explore
I'm a virgin at every turn on my trek
I listen carefully to winds of summers past
They are pushing me to the left again
For a day can we lose our way
Everywhere will be home
If we stay there'll be rules to break
We're never gonna be alone Augustine
When you see me swimming in the salted pool
Does it bring you a smile
Set me free please
There's a view and I'm trying to watch
With the sea breeze I must
For a day can we lose our way
Everywhere will be home
If we stay there'll be rules to break
We're never gonna be alone Augustine

Time to believe what I’m feeling
Because my feelings are a map
Time to receive some of your healing
Because my healing needs a match
Got up to see if you’re coming
I see nothing you see less
But I believe that there’s something
If we bring more than our best
Will you tell me everything that you’re going through?
Will you be the words I sing? La la la la la
Down by the beach I see reefer
She’s a keeper she tells me
What I don’t see when I’m scared to
Look within you within me
Will you tell me everything that you’re going through?
Will you be the words I sing? La la la la la
Tell me what you don’t want me to hear
I can take a little fear
Won’t you tell me
You see there is so much I wanna say
Don’t make me hold it in
Won’t you tell me
Show me what makes the corners of your mind
I am ready to show mine
Won’t you show me
I’ll be waiting for a sign
A subtle one is fine
Oh tell me

The Wind in Our Eyes
03:53
|
|

By the river near my old hometown
Sings a hummingbird who lives by herself
She is back from eating breakfast
A violet salvia
I see her here every single May
When the maple buds and frost fades away
And the worries of tomorrow don't matter anymore
Fly to me in the light
You won't die if you say goodbye
Fly fall right into my heart
I won't die if you do it right
What's on your mind do tell me if you feel like you're trying
to fit in all the time
Leaving behind our cold months with the wind in our eyes
I see you unconfined
Fly to me in the light
You won't die if you say goodbye
Fly fall right into my heart
I won't die if you do it right
Now it's closing in on sunset
I can hear the river sing round the bend
And the town is feeling empty it calms me down again
You are flying right beside me still
As we're getting further up on a hill
And we'll walk until forever says

Drink up the wine and run away
from the town that I know so well
Drink up the wine it’s everywhere
Guess I’ll leave with that taste in my mouth
I’m on the lion’s hill
Looking to see the sand
Ready to shake the land
Ready to shake
Man I wanna feel like them
Like all the birds in the wild
Moving on all the time
Migrate, migrate
Drink up the wine and run away
from the town that I know so well
Drink up the wine it’s everywhere
Guess I’ll leave with that taste in my mouth
I’m on the Checkmate porch
With a new beer in my hand
Going around again
Going around
Hey you look familiar
I’m getting lost in the morning light
Time to move on from here
With love
Love
Drink up the wine and run away
from the town that I know so well
Drink up the wine it’s everywhere
Guess I’ll leave with that taste in my mouth

Starting From Seed

Please take care of me I need you to believe
Starting me from seed you better fill my needs
Soft ground and an open flame
And when I'm thirsty pour on me
I wanna get out to feel the sun and rain
Just keep an eye on me and I'll surely wake
Just keep the good habit and I swear you'll see
Lots more good come your way taking care of me
I'm growing up the world is ready for
My light and my name yes you can call me Jane
Oh I am just a seed but one day I will be
More than a single weed but comfort for your people
Picnic with a healthy spread
And when I ask you to feed me
You know my diet and what I like
So keep it coming until I am ripe
So keep the good habit and I swear you'll see
Lots more good come your way taking care of me
I'm growing up the world is ready for
My light and my name yes you can call me Jane
And finish your champagne cause now I'm feeling groovy
A part of your terrain teach me and you'll see

Two Dollar Man
03:02

You got the win and sold it for a deck of cards
To be a king and to meet the charming queen of hearts
Your time's been spinning like a dime just like you
All of your shots are perfectly aligned right on cue
Cause he's a two dollar man he always plays for money
(All my money, all my money is gone)
Yea he's a two dollar man doesn't need to be lucky
Quarter to six it's time for the last game to begin
And for your tricks to leave with more than when you came in
Your mind it waits in the garage waits for you
To bank the 8 right to the peaceful frogs they're like you
Cause he's a two dollar man he always plays for money
(All my money, all my money is gone)
Yea he's a two dollar man doesn't need to be lucky

Hazy Point of View
03:37

|

Under your covers feeling normal again
Over the moon and out of my head
I don't need myself to know just how I should be
Our love can say enough for me
You got me wrapped under your finger real well
I've fallen for your succulent spell
And I know there is no way it's going to end well for me
From my hazy point of view you are fire
And you burn orange and blue
When I get lonely I romanticize you
And if you were here what we would do
I'm in my head around my family and friends
Trying to be in yours once again
I'm so far in I cannot find my way out of you
From my hazy point of view you are fire
And you burn orange and blue
I know it's a crazy thing to do
But when it takes over it spreads all over you
It gets real warm and traps you too
Now there's only your hazy point of view
Until you move on
(Hazy Point of View)

The Bees Trees

Yesterday ended so slowly wide awake at dusk
I felt a weight slide off my shoulders
A brand new day was just around the clock for us
Finally the sun starts to show its morning rays they rise
And start the way to follow my instincts
To listen to the moon I know I'll get there
I get honey from the bees
I get warm air from the breeze
I get everything I need
When I'm me
Tidal wave fill up my thermos
So I can taste the love
And take a hit of candy's fine reefer
To grow and grow in size and cover the skies
I get honey from the bees
I get warm air from the breeze
I get everything I need
When I'm me
