Lyrics
Honeyspider
Honeyspider, yeah yeah
Didn’t anyone say they knew I looked a lot like you
‘Cause I do
I do
Didn’t anyone say they knew I looked a lot like you
Honeyspider, yeah
Brain dripping, now I’m tripping
On a stupid acid vision
When I wish I’m with you
My honeyspider, yeah - 2 . Spoken #1
Lyrics
In Spanish: “I always wonder, who am I? Why do I do it? I don’t know. It’s because there’s no other way. Sometimes I ask God and he answers. The simple answer for simple questions. That’s how I see God. As a question.”
- 3 . With You
Lyrics
Low, low, so low with you
Go, go, I’ll go with you
With you
Take, take me somewhere
Wake me, dream somewhere
And you’re peelin’ back your eyes
Some disguise
Trouble you just can’t hide
And you’re feeling so low, so
I’ll wait with you
I’ll wait with you - 4 . Egg
Lyrics
And you’re bluffing
‘Cause your eyes were born to see
Something
Go ask Joe
If you’re blinded
The shield must solve alone
Safe to say
Go ask Joe
She said all things would end
Change your ways
All of you
When you’re bluffing
When your eyes were born to see
Something
Go ask Joe - 5 . Spoken #2
Lyrics
In Spanish: “My sacred heart. I speak of my heart as if it were an entity seperate from me. I think the same thing about pain. It’s like an evil spirit outside of me that’s always with me. The pain that I feel is like a weight that guides me. There’s no way to destroy it. It’s my eternal opera.”

Lyrics
Planned a show
Trees and balloons
Ice cream snow
See you in June
Could have known
I would reveal
Should have known
I would conceal your way
She knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
How’s it she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows
Colors show
After the moon
I should go
See you in June
Your way
And she knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
How’s it she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows
Open your eyes to these mustered lines
Open your eyes to these mustered lines
The way
And she knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
How’s it she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows - 7 . Bye June
Lyrics
Bye June
I’m going to the moon
It better be by June
‘Cause I’m going to the moon
So June
You’d better make it soon
I hope you make it June
‘Cause I’m going to the moon
Bye June
Bye June
I’m going to the moon
I hope you make it soon
‘Cause I’m waiting on this moon
Bye June
I hope you make it too
I’m wishing you’re there too
I hope you make it June
Bye bye June
Hope you make it to the moon - 8 . Stars Fall In
Lyrics
I know this room just crumbles like a tomb
Surrender to the day that I made
Your stars fall in
Your stars fall in
Don’t waste it
You’re not simple
When my head swells just like a balloon
So soon I must realize
Once my words were dangerous
Now they just seem blasphemous
Stars fall in
I’ve walked in search of soul complete
Higher than I’d ever want to be
Come along with me
Over the edge and over to the shelf
Polished up and realized
What I’ve done confronts me whole
Looking into a world disowned
Stars fall in
Your stars fall in
Your stars fall in
(Ok) - 9 . Daughter
Lyrics
Hands that offer
Hands that take
Someone’s daughter
Taking me, take me away
In the water
Just like a snake
Someone’s daughter
Hidden up, sleep away
And you feel you’ve been abused
For your life, your love, and truth - 10 . Spoken #3
Lyrics
In Spanish: “I want to triumph over you. I want respect. I want it all. God will help me to help myself. I don’t know. Dreams and wishes become reality. Peace and love for humanity.”

Lyrics
My daydream seems as one inside of you
Though it seems hard to reach through this life
Your blue and hopeless life
My daydream screams bitter 'til the end
The love I share -true- selfish to the heart
My heart, my sacred heart
My daydream dream
My daydream
My daydream dream
My daydream
- 12 . Spoken #4
Lyrics
In Spanish: “The surreal and suspect dream — I want to clearly remember it, but I can’t. The dream lives in me. My desires control me. My thoughts follow. What is it that stops me from killing, from thinking, from recognizing my destiny? Nothing, absolutely nothing.”
- 13 . Psychodelic
Lyrics
Taking my time
Taking everything I have
Losing my mind
Losing everything I have
Who do you want to be?
You want satisfaction you can’t receive
Who do you want to be?
You want satisfaction you can’t receive
Harder to find
Easy to just walk away
I’m losing my mind
I’ve lost everything I have
And I have
And I have
Yeah, I have
Who do you want to be?
You want satisfaction you can’t receive
How many times will you leave?
You want sati-satisfaction you can’t receive
[and i thought that i knew who it was (?)]
