Lyrics
Jesus loves his babies
Outside in the sunshine
I don't mind, no I don't mind
Jesus loves his babies
Even when they're out of line
I don't mind, no I don't mind
I'm fine
Jesus loves his crazies
Keepin' pace with her rhyme
I don't mind, no I don't mind
Jesus loves his babies
Outside in the
Outside in the sun/shine (doubletracked and overlapping)
Sunshine

Lyrics
I lay my head on her bosom
To cry myself to sleep
I seek no greater wisdom
Than she has given me
La dolly vita
Sweet as true love
La dolly vita
Cool as ice cream
Cool as ice cream
Even with all her visions
You can’t even stop
Can’t see what you’re missing
Spinning like a top
Fade away I want to see her
Fade away I want to see her
I only want to meet her
La dolly vita
True as blue sky
La dolly vita
Cool as ice cream
Cool as ice cream
Take it all the way down
Forsake what you have known
Take it all the way down - 3 . I Am One

Lyrics
I am one as you are three
Try to find messiah in your trinity
Your city to burn
Your city to burn
Try to look for something
In your city to burn, you’ll burn
Am I as I seem?
I’m down
Down, so down
Time is right for a guiding light
Try to turn to reasons in your bitter life
Your city to burn
Your city to burn
Try to look for something
In your city to burn, you’ll burn
See you, don’t you just want to
See you, I am one
See you, don’t you just want to
See you
See you, don’t you just want to
See you, I am one
See you, don’t you just want to
See you, I am one - 4 . Bury Me

Lyrics
(Over you, like an angel)
Bury me in love
Bury me in love
Shared your kisses
Shame your heart
Buried me and it hurts
I love my sister so (chain, unchain)
She don’t smother me (chain, unchain, unchain)
I played the spades I know (unchain)
I’m a jack of all trades
Would you bury me
Want to see her born inside (hide, hide)
Some of the things you just can’t hide
If you see her tell me why (hide, hide)
Why won’t she come outside
If you see her tell me why (hide, hide)
Why won’t she come outside
Want to see her born inside (hide, hide)
Some of the things you just can’t hide
She waits, bury me
She waits, bury me - 5 . Rhinoceros

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
