on a hilltop
in the kitchen
over rainbows
down a well
in the snow
under pressure
on the sunny side of hell
in the dumps
on a barstool
so many things I’ll never tell
on the lawn
in my car
across the sky
it rings a bell
in your bed
by your side
falling fallen fell

Tune in for some friendly lies
Amuse me when the village dies
Forever in Eurasia wars
Who knows what we're fighting for?
Existential shit show
Hiding from your shadow
Blindfolds when things get funky
Pin the tail on the monkey
No salvation on the screen
Always washed but never clean
Smash a dream and kill a smile
Add another to the pile
Self-destruction lost its charm
Another dead from needle arm
Paying more and living less
Who's the author of this mess?

You acted like
You liked me a lot
Then you said
You didn't like me at all
You're a legendary genius of hurt
It feels like I crashed into a wall
You acted like
You liked me a lot
Then you said
You didn't like me at all
I was such a silly stupid mindless fool
Prancing like a puppy with a ball
You acted like
You liked me a lot
Then you said
You didn't like me at all
The world was a wonder and a dream
Then suddenly everything was small
You acted like
You liked me a lot
Then you said
You didn't like me at all
One moment I was standing on a cloud
I never knew I had so far to fall

Winkle and Wankle and Wunkle
Got attacked by an angry old skunkle
Wankle and Wunkle and Winkle
We're quite overwhelmed by the stinkle
Wunkle and Winkle and Wankle
Took all of their change to the bankle
Wankle and Winkle and Wunkle
Bought a new house for their uncle
Wunkle and Wankle and Winkle
Have an auto that's purple and pinkle
Winkle and Wunkle and Wankle
Keep plenty of gas in the tankle
Wankle and Winkle and Wunkle
Dribble and pass and slam dunkle
Wunkle and Wankle and Winkle
Roller on skates at the rinkle
Winkle and Wunkle and Wankle
Often smell musty and dankle

you're the pot of gold
at the end of my road
everything I never deserved
you're the dreamy and the cream
you're everything you seem
more than I could ever say with words
you're my happy and my hope
you're the only way I cope
a vision and an angel and a shrine
you're solid and you're sunny
you're beautiful and funny
you're a flower and a rainbow and a rhyme
by Richard W. Bray
I drank up a brewery
I burned this city down
I don’t care about anything
Since you’re not around
Pain in action is a chain reaction
Destructing so busily, I pass along my misery
Got a lot of rough edges
I’m bitter to the core
I’m mean and I’m dirty
I wake up on the floor
Pain in action is a chain reaction
Destructing so busily, I pass along my misery
I hurt a lot of people
To get back at you
It don’t make no sense
But that’s what I do
Pain in action is a chain reaction
Destructing so busily, I pass along my misery

Superman isn't gonna save you And Batman is too darn depressed Hulk and Thor can smash things What we really need is healing We're gonna have to clean up Our own mess
Wolverine cut himself shaving Thing needs some lotion for his skin Let's all increase the Peace This fighting has to cease Compassion and Love Is how we win
Fantasy is fun and fascinatin' Dreaming in the dark for a while But in the light of day Put those childish things away Lend a hand and make Somebody smile
87 days
I had 87 days
I threw it away
And fell back into
Hopeless helpless hell
I called up my sponsor
He sent over a guy
To fill me up with coffee
And take me to a meeting
I cried:
87 days
I had 87 days
He said:
Tomorrow, you’re gonna have one day
Thank God for my sponsor
Thank God I'm alive
Tomorrow I'm gonna have one day

Be where you are
Take a look around
Listen to the landscape
Cast your bucket down
Be where you are
Everything is close
The universe is everywhere
It's underneath your nose
Be where you are
Slow your body down
Matter is in motion
It's happy as a houndBe where you are
Outside is in
Listen to the music
As your molecules spin
