Lyrics
Get on board
This train ain’t gonna stop
Where I’m going, I don’t know
You know, you know, you know
Wheels on fire
Wings of nascent desire
Punch your ticket, it’s time to go
There’s a force up around the bend
That drives this engine apart
Are you with us, or against us?
Are you with us, or against us, tonight?
It’s alright
There’s a matter of reckoning this fight
It’s alright
Are you with us, tonight?
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
Are you with us, tonight?
Soon we’ll fly
But on this eve we ride
A steel horse tied to dirt
The words, the words, the words
No words will suffice
Against the sacrifice
For what is love, if not cause
My misdeeds will scurry home
Dust & breath & bone
Are you with us, or against us?
Are you with us, or against us?
Are you with us, are you with us?
Are you with us, or against us, tonight?
It’s a matter of ‘us’ & ‘them’ this fight
It’s alright
Are you with us, tonight?
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
Are you with us, are you with us?
Are you with us, or against us, tonight?
Are you with us, or against us?
Are you with us, or against us, tonight? - 2 . Freak
Lyrics
They poison our sweet mother earth
Destroy our sacred bodies
To fill our mouths with junk and…
They call this knowledge
But knowing nothing
Means knowing far, far too much
They let our children
Starve in the name of peace
They march to the beat of
A killing machine
Life is not a dream when you can’t wake up from the dream you wanted
Life is not a dream when you can’t wake up from the dream you wanted
Oh… They’ll pour the salt from your soul
Oh… They’ll pour the salt from your soul
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
Scars and bars and 51 stars
In faith and milk and…
I’m drinking filth and disease
Oh pretty please, I’m begging freedom
There’s lives to be blinded,
Serviced and kinded
Before we’ve paid
And then we’ll pay some more
Do you know the score?
Cause I’m so fucking bored!
Life is not a dream when you can’t wake up from the dream you wanted
Life is not a dream when you can’t wake up from the dream you wanted
Oh… They’ll pour the salt from your soul
Oh… They’ll pour the salt from your soul
They’ll sell your wounds as evidence of your hope
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
Life is not a dream when you can’t wake up from the dream you wanted
Life is not a dream when you can’t wake up from the dream you wanted
Life is not a dream
Life is not a…
Life is not a dream
Life is not a dream - 3 . Tom Tom
Lyrics
Farther down along the range
Where the wise ones kept at bay
Those that wished secrets stayed as secrets
For mourning minds
I tell myself it’s where I belong
Among the waves and the once now gone
With my ancestors drums
Here comes the morning man
He’s gonna tell you where you stand
Gonna try to undertake what’s falling
He’s calling you
Here comes the morning man
He’s here and yes he can
Penetrate the veils that you’re holding
He’s unfolding you
This side of the solstice bare
Where autumn shows its truthful air
Is when I’m want to empty scared
My precious stores of evening prayers
I remind myself it’s who you are
An orphan soul from a distant star
Listening for those bells
Here comes the morning man
He’s here and yes he can
Penetrate the veils that you’re holding
He’s unfolding you
He’s gonna tell you where you stand
Gonna try to undertake what’s falling, he’s calling you
You and I are bright
Oh I need anyone but you
Our lives to me are art
Until a morning tears apart
And leaves what’s on my mind
Here comes the morning man
He’s watching, he’s watching
Sha-la-la-la-la
Here comes the morning man, he’s watching
Here comes the morning man, he’s watching
He’s watching
Sha-la-la-la-la - 4 . Spangled
Lyrics
How I love you
Isn't fair
God must want me
Next to you there
And if I show up
To disappear
Will you find me
Half as near?
Tangled in your body
Spangled by the night time stars
Of all the lovers
To be a friend
I'll come back when
You know me
And it's a sad state
Of happiness
If I confess
To my loneliness
Tangled in your body
Spangled by the night time stars
Tangled in your body
Spangled by the night time stars
How I've loved you so
It's how I've loved you so
Butterflies don't fly
Broken hearts don't cry, no no
How I've loved your body, baby
How I've loved your sapphires and rubies
Butterflies don't make it in movies
How I've loved you so
God I love you so
God I love you so
- 5 . Cottonwood Symphony
Lyrics
When they charge
Down the street
I won’t be around, no
When they come, after me
I won’t be found, no
No no, oh-no
Theres no more failure to erase
Oh-no
With finger prints upon a glass
Lazy river winds
Forever roaming far
The sunsets out of reach
The skies I’ve longed to touch
Lazy river roams of cottonwood
Symphony
Unlock the box
The key is yours
The treasures you forgot
Are well preserved
Lazy river roam
When they take
???
Trouble thee no more
Can’t this love
Without room
Be considered home
No,
No no, no no
No Cleopatra to escape
Oh no
With trinkets found along the road
Flow river flow
Forever roaming far
The sunsets out of reach
The skies I’ve longed to touch
Lazy river roam of cottonwood
Symphony
Of cottonwood
Symphony
