Bees 03:19 video
Bees at every picnic Sharks in every sea Just like they're a part of them You're a part of me There's an over dose Or something gross A rat in every station Disconnects and side effects They come with every medication You're the fire in the mine Bobcat on the trail Poison in the wine Fleas on every tail Without a little sting it gets hard to feel a thing So I will love you, til I lose my mind Oil in the water Sand in the breeze So lock me in the basement Throw away the key There's a heart attack A ransack in every situation Derelicts and heretics We're all a part of god's creation You're the fire in the mine Bobcat on the tail Poison in the wine Fleas on every tail Without a little sting it gets hard to feel a thing So I will love you, til I lose my mind You're the fire in the mine Bobcat on the trail Poison in the wine Fleas on every tail Without a little sting it gets hard to feel a thing So I will love you, til I lose my mind Without a little bite, I can't get to sleep at night So I will love you, til I lose my mind

Mend one, break one 
As above so below 
It’s slipping through your fingers 
 The tighter you try to hold 
So let it loose see how it spins 
And dances in the light 
Detach from desire
 Exist in delight Live and let it die We live to let it die 
It’s getting hotter every day 
I can hear her knocking at my door 
 She says “Babe learn how to stay, 
Before you ask for any more” 
I’m rolling down the road a spell 
I’m rambling til the early light 
I trust our love to work it out 
 I learn to sink and not to fight 
I live and let it die I live and let it die 
No one said this would be easy
 But nobody said it would be this hard 
 And if you’d stop a while you’ll see
 That’s there’s no one here who can harm us 
If we would stop harming ourselves 
Mend one, break one 
As above so below
 It’s slipping through your fingers 
 The tighter you try to hold 
 So let it loose see how it spins 
 And dances in the light
 Detach from desire
 Exist in delight credits

Don’t know which one feels worse Being here or knowing how Can’t believe it’s true that I’ve no clue what you are up to now and If I could go back in time then you’d know better I’d have made more sure that you knew I cared you were fine But time doesn’t work for me Or you’d know better Time doesn’t work for me I’ve been chasing you through a dream all along Can’t remember half of what I though I knew The rest was wrong Oooh If I could go back in time then you’d know better I’d have made more sure that you knew I cared you were fine But time doesn’t work for me Or you’d know better Time doesn’t work for me No it’s no fair that when I’m next to you I just can’t remember what on earth I’m meant to do And time slips away you see No time doesn’t work for me credits

Look at you looking at me Up above your spirit You were out of your body I was digging around in your neck For a pulse For a sign You were mine for a time You were my first home Then you were free I got stuck I held you inside too long I should have known you were gone Staring down that hall At the white sheet and learning In my way I should have known You couldn’t leave if I forgot to let go Please forgive me Detroit Mourning Take warning Take something darlin’ But it’s all good You’ll go when you should Oh you know she became a butterfly

We are held together Though we rattle and shake Held together by blood and feathers Confessions and mistakes Little threads wrap around us We are lost we are boundless We are held together with tears and heartache We roll like leaves down the river The rush tumbles us forever We are pulled and pushed down Get caught up and go-round Nothing more than fever dreams We've more strength than what it seems We are held together Though we rattle and shake Held together by blood and feathers Confessions and mistakes Little threads wrap around us We are lost we are boundless We are held together with tears and heartache You know a change is gonna come Your heart’s being struck like a drum Let the moon wax and wane What is true will remain Blame the broken it won’t get better When one falls we fall together We are held together Though we rattle and shake Held together by blood and feathers Confessions and mistakes Little threads wrap around us We are lost we are boundless We are held together with tears and heartache We are held together Though we rattle and shake Held together by blood and feathers Confessions and mistakes Little threads wrap around us We are found we are boundless We are held together with tears and heartache We are held together with tears and heartache We are held together with tears and heartache

It was a full moon, I was about to bleed Exiled in Alicante And if I wanted more, well I’d have to go wanting The rumors were vicious The timing unkind And America scares me, but I know that she’s mine But oh what a beautiful mess we’ve made for ourselves And I would give it all away Do you think it would help? And there’s babies in cages, smoke in the air And these monsters know nothing Love ain’t fair And I’ll tell you one secret before I must leave Death is no ending, it’s just a reprieve And oh what a beautiful mess we’ve made for ourselves And I would give it all away I can’t help And oh say can you see by the dawns early light That love is all we have In the dark it gives light In the dark there’s still light So if by some miracle I get to grow old I pray it’s by your side, your hand to hold But don’t do me no favors, yeah give it to me straight It’s too early for promises, before you know it’s too late But oh what a beautiful mess we’ve made for ourselves And I would give it all away, do you think it would help

It’s green mile style Just here for a while They bake big cakes But there’s no file I could cry all day But no I feel just fine Just look at me smiling Nope, I’ll do time like I want to Living in the zoo Nice pipes, cool stripes You can go ahead and leave the crying to All the ones you see Standing round here looking at me Yeah you’re all gonna cry all day Yeah you’re all gonna miss me Big ones little ones Walkers strollers Well that one right there I’d pick her up and throw her If they’d let me out But hell no, not me Not gonna lay around and pout Cause you’re all gonna cry all day When there’s nothing you can do or say When I take the birds and the bees You are gonna miss me You’re gonna miss me credits

We who are the spirits of the revolution, we will not fit in and we will not give in. We who are the spirits of the revolution, we will not fit in and we will not give in. We who've come to understand more of the horror, we will not fit in, we will not give in. We who are indelibly bourgeois and refuse to be so are increasing aware. We are unleashing powers move towards light. We are experiencing tragedy in the unending cycles of destruction. We who gamble with our lives. We who are the spirits of the revolution, we will not fit in and we will not give in. We who are the spirits of the revolution, we will not fit in and we will not give in. We who believe in the flowering of freedom, we will not give in, we will not fit in. We who are thirsty for greater knowledge. We who walk the night this side of desperation. We who are thirsty and looking for better ways to proceed. We who tremble and proceed. We who are the spirits of the revolution, we will not fit in and we will not give in. We who are the spirits of the revolution, we will not fit in and we will not give in. We who are wise enough to continue learning, we will not fit in, we will not give in. We who find brothers and sisters in the struggling people of this world. We who are coming to understand more of the mysteries. We are coming to see more of the realities. We who have met the beast within ourselves. We who are the spirits of the revolution, we will not fit in and we will not give in. We who are the spirits of the revolution, we will not fit in and we will not give in. We who are able to go beyond our anger, we will not fit in and we will not give in. We who are able to go beyond our arc. We who are not content to admit despair. We who care, we who burn, we who struggle with the knowledge that the path is long. We who are the spirits of the revolution, we will not fit in and we will not give in. We who are the spirits of the revolution, we will not fit in and we will not give in. We who’s radiance is a wonder in life, we will not fit in, we will not give in. We who’s anger can not be conquered. We who’s love cannot be bound. We who are the singers of the new morning. We who’s tears have freely flowed. We who are the spirits of the revolution, we will not fit in and we will not give in. credits

A friend of mine, she cries at night And she calls me on the phone Sees babies everywhere she goes And she wants one of her own She's waited long enough she says And still he can't decide Pretty soon she'll have to choose And it tears her up inside She is scared, Scared to run out of time I see my folks are getting on And I watch their bodies change I know they see the same in me And it makes us both feel strange No matter how you tell yourself It's what we all go through Those lines are pretty hard to take When they're staring back at you Oh, scared you'll run out of time When did the choices get so hard With so much more at stake Life gets mighty precious When there's less of it to waste Mmmmmmm, scared you'll run out of time Just when I thought I'd had enough And all my tears were shed No promise left unbroken There were no painful words unsaid You came along and showed me I could leave it all behind You opened up my heart again And then much to my surprise I found love, baby, love in the nick of time (Love in the nick of time)
