Illusions
Track 5, "Terror" -The sky
is high with the living breath,
and there's a little bit
of luck between alive and death.
The words I sing, they're
very plain
lt's an eagle on a wing
Hey, we play audio illusions.
And the sky is high with
the living breath,
with your ears you look
past me.
The words I sing, they're
very plain.
I'm an eagle on a wing.
Yeah, we play audio illusions.
Playin' them god damned
illusions
Two Feet
It's six o'clock and the
sun comes up...
woke up this morning without
a heart,
you know I bled it dry long
ago.
Feeling these feelings that
I can't even start and now I'm loveless;
walking over it every day.
Can't you see, oh god,
you know life ain't good
for nothing when you're caught up in a frees".
You know that I've been
compared to the body of the son,
I didn't mean to hurt no
one.
A broken bottle from his
hand hits the ground
and he's watching all the
bodies go around
and around and around Coming
down,
got my two feet on the ground,
and I'm walking around.
Now I'm timesick of the
reasons,
I'm timesick of the seasons,
but you know I'm not Kerouac.
I'm timesick of the laying
to rest of the woman
who taught me how to be
human
and you know I don't care
about the rest.
I'm coming down, with my
two feet on the ground and I'm wad' around
Science Fiction
Little green men coming out
of paint cans,
Phosphate mines and Slaked
Lime, 1966, he was sixteen,
it's Central Florida in
the era of the dragline,
play it over the pit and
dig up more of that green shit,
and trade it with the Russians,
who are traditionally hated,
you can imagine that after
a few years
that you'd run out of things
to say,
and I'll be here every day.
Phospho~Gypsum, Radon-222,
the daughters watch over
you,
on a transformer four stories
high it walks like a cripple
and turns on its base,
diggin' up that Dicalcium
Phosphate.
Travel the blacktop
and you won't have far to
go to find an alien civilization,
a creature from a creation
that's from outer space.
Sixty foot high for miles
around;
one million tons of Phospho~Gypsum
tailings rise to the sky.
Nearly half the world's
fertilizer once lay beneath the overburden;
it got taken off this sandbar,
and now there's something
that's left behind.
Hey, this place is a mess!
'what are you takin' about?
I'll clean it up later.
No, that's not the way it
is at all, I'm not a miner I don't care,
man, that's pant of the
system, I'm punk,
but who's gonna indict the
Wall Street Journal, just me and Bob Ray,
it's just part of the system
here on the surface of the planet
and the day has come when
there's only work left
There's unlimited sunshine
in a bottle of Tropicana,
with his friends and his
'Spooky Tooth' 8-track flipped upside down,
drivin' in his Mercury Monterey
down to Lithia Springs,
saying that if we could
take the tailings,
and build a building for
the New York Stork Exchange,
then we could tell everyone
about
how we live in a state that
digs Radon by the ton
and you'll be loved by everyone,
and the government will
give us a Superfund,
and 'we're Radon, and that's
Science Fiction.

Haiti
Yes, I'm glad you made it,
'cause I got a lot to say
about a little country in the water.
See, they're not so happy
on an island in the Caribbean.
The folks, their luck has
all run out
and they're drownin' all
the opposition.
Travel down this road to
the port of Miami,
they're turning them away
every day.
And look who's sitting on
that city commission,
well they came here not
long ago.
And It's the thoughts that
cover up a 'weak heart
and that marks a shallow
soul.
The front that blocks off
the sight of the spectrum of life
tries to polarize the whole...
I guess I'll never know...
If we all came over on a
boat,
how can you act like you
walked here on the water?
Rasta Guy
The middle-aged rasta guy
joggin' around gainesville,
middle-aged rasta guy joggin'
around gainesville,
there's a middle-aged rasta
guy joggin' around gainesville,
don't know where he comes
from,
he's kinda like pac- man,
he runs through the streets
of,
running through the streets
of Babylon,
rasta guy, middle-aged rasta
jogger guy,
middle-aged rasta guy,
middle-aged rasta jogger
guy holding his hands high
and he's jogging around
gainesville
holding his hands up high
jogging around gainesville,
run run, rasta guy, middle-aged
rasta jogger guy,
middle-aged rasta guy,
middle-aged rasta jogger
guy holding his hands high
and he's jogging around
gainesville
holding his hands up high
jogging around gainesville, rasta guy,
middle-aged rasta jogger
guy, middle-aged rasta guy,
middle-aged rasta jogger
guy.
