It's coming down fast
It's coming down fast
It aint' gonna last
It ain't gonna last
Grab a coat and don't forget
Grab a boat if it keeps getting wet
The weather girl said clouds today
and what they spray will make you pray
It turns me on, yeah
but watch yourself we're gonna get
Blood and a little little chance of rain
Blood and a little little chance of-
You've seen rain hey get in line
But this is so divine
Why. won't. you. kneel down and repent?
Don't you know that he gave us all the tools
Now it's comin and it's filling up our pools
Where's the water? will the water come back?
Blood and a little little chance of rain
Blood and a little little chance of
Blood, blood blood, blood, blood blood
Blood, blood blood, blood, blood blood
and a little little chance of rain

Hold Your Face
02:27
|
|||
|
I'm going through such hell
I begged my mom to tell
me how to get your
face near mine correctly
She just asks me to try
To stand and not deny
To tell you not one lie
And ask directly
I! Ask politely
Try! Day and nightly
Lie! On this lap I have to share
Hey! Can i hold your
face! eyes as wide as
space! let me hold your face and stare
I see you after school
The park and at the pool
I'm wiping off the drool
to clean my bruised knee
The bullies and the nuns
They're always poking fun
But everything I've done
will lead me to see (chorus)
(interlude: spoken)
your eyebrows want to meet in the middle
there's tiny hairs above your nose
dirt on your cheeks a cut on your chin
blood on your hands and mud on your toes
I! Ask politely
Try! Day and nightly
Lie! On this lap I have to share
(quiet)
Hey! Can i hold your
face! eyes as wide as
Space! let me hold your face and stare
Hey! Can I hold your
face! I disrobed your
lace! let me hold your face right there
Hey! Can i hold your
face! eyes as wide as
Space! let me hold your face and stare

Child of God
03:42

Don't it feel silly? Don't it feel odd?
Being just a bitty child of God
Living in the city, gettin' high on the hog
Isn't it a pity? A child of God
The city is our reservation
And the tribe is on its knees
'Cause child of God, we're living miserably
Don't it feel silly? Don't it feel odd?
Being just a bitty child of God
Sinnin' in the city, getting' lost in the fog
Ain't that a pity? A child of God
The city is our reservation
And the tribe is on its knees
'Cause child of God, we're living miserably
Child of God
Child of God
Don't it feel silly? Don't it feel odd?
Being just a bitty child of God
Living in the city, gettin' high on the hog
Isn't it a pity? A child of God
The city is our reservation
And the tribes acknowledging
That child of God, we're living miserably
Maybe it's the revelation
That we're cogs in the machine
Child of God, we're living miserably

Greek Ship
03:10
|

|
Did you mean what you said when you said you thought I was smart
Was it meant to convey high esteem for a piece of art
that i made outta clay that i thought could break down your walls
did you... think i would stand so tall... hearing you build me up
up with a brick that you didn't know how to give
it's not your fault that I didn't know how to live
you're not a solid or gas cuz you tend to shift
and lift... boats stranded out at sea, show them where they should be
I didn't ask you to call me the best just to say i wasn't broken up inside
If I hadn't ceased replacing piece by piece then the greek ship that i was would surely die
Mother amazing you did all you could have done
It's not your fault that I'm not having any fun
Gotta be strong but the most I can dare to be
Is you... hating what isn't true... couldn't believe that
I didn't ask you to call me the best just to say i wasn't broken up inside
If I hadn't ceased replacing piece by piece then the greek ship that i was would surely die
the greek ship that i was would surely die
the greek ship, the greek ship

The Beaver
01:50

|
You've got to be the one
to hold the beaver's gun
before she hurts someone
you've got to be the fool
to place the beaver's tool
upon the rabbi's stool
how do you know x2
what the beaver does and the beaver don't
what the beaver will and the beaver won't
you've got to be the one
to hold the beaver's gun
before the day is done
or she will shoot someone
how do you know x2
how the beaver steals or the beaver prays
how the beaver feels or the beaver spends her days
well you don't
well you don't

So Afraid
02:21
|
|||
|
I get
so afraid that you'll
pass away
and leave me in possession of
several fine pieces of art
I get
so afraid that you'll
pass away
and leave me in possession of
a car that never starts
I don't wanna feast or even feed
off of your extraordinary deeds
I don't wanna hide behind a screen
Or have to quantify just what you mean
I get
so afraid that he'll
make the grade
and give you all the love
from the son i never was
I get
so afraid that i'm
just a shade
too far away from anything
that works for us
I don't wanna hear your booming voice
telling me that I don't have a choice
I don't wanna see the ceiling shake
Or have to quiet down when you're awake
I don't wanna be the mess you make
I'll just quiet down when you're awake

The Teachers
02:28
|
|||
|
All the teachers at play
All the students at work
Can I come off sounding like
anything less than a jerk?
Is the god that we pray to
just a tease or a flirt?
is he waiting to save us
or just watching us get hurt?
(harmonies:)
Can't teach me enough to show
My soul what it ought to know
Do i lose all my worth
when i'm placed 'gainst the wall
Waiting for voices of boys
who never call
Was I lost 'till I found you
Now you're finally here.
I feel safer not knowing
all the answers when you're near
Can't teach me enough to show
My soul what it ought to know

Holy Man with the Plan
02:20

|
I've been inside of you
and you've been inside me too
I gotta get a feel for how you'll react
when i tell you that i'm on God's chosen path
And I can't figure out how I fit in
I don't even know if I can sin
Everything I do just feels so
holy, holy, holy, holy
Everything I do just feels so right
I have been inside your soul
And you have been inside my holes
Gotta have a front row seat
When you drink blood and you eat meat
You'll consume what's in me babe
I know it like I know my trade
Know I do what God prescribes
I drain the earth i turn the tides
And I can't figure out how I fit in
I don't even know if I can sin
Everything I do just feels so
holy, holy, holy, holy
Everything I do just feels so right
And I can't do this again
I don't even know if I can sin
Everything I do just feels so
holy, holy, holy, holy
Everything I do just feels so ri

And I don't even know
What it's like
And I don't even know
What it's like
But I'd like to know
I'd like to know
But I'd like to know
I'd like to know
And I don't even know
What it's like
And I don't even know
What it's like
And I don't even know
What it's like
And I don't even know
What it's like
But I'd like to know
I'd like to know
But I'd like to know
I'd like to know

Dead Hands
02:25
|
|||
|
work your little devil mind
press your little angel binds
into my skin
the dawn of man was so surreal
never really got a feel
for how to conquer sin
and ill bring you to god
(by your cold) dead hands
and he's gonna take you
from my cold dead hands
death is just a part of life
you're my wife and i'm the knife
cutting into you
one day God will see the mess
that we've left and all the stress
will nevermore accrue
And all the pain that remains
stays inside your corpse
death doula and i don't want to fool ya
you'll stay mine of course\
and ill bring you to god
(by your cold) dead hands
and he's gonna take you
from my cold dead hands
and he's gonna break you
with his cold dead hands
and he's gonna make you
wth his cold dead dead hands

I smell your hair There's nothing there
Though you've got everybody fooled
I need you back I feel a lack
Though I know you're with someone new
You can't take it away
I can almost see you now
But I know it isn't you
You are the host, I eat your toast
It tastes like you and I kneel and pray
You love so much, we keep in touch
and yet i miss you every day
Did my touch, feel like too much
I'm laying down, Christopher I wait for you

Blessed Breath
02:47

|
hey-ey-ey don't you feel his love today
don't it just take your blessed breath away
you and he held hands your form took shape
like a worm you crawled out of the moist earth
became more now he's showed you your true worth
by his hand your eyes beheld the stars
there were things in you he buried long ago
the time it took to realize them lets you know
you're beautiful
hey-ey-ey don't you feel his love today
don't it just take your blessed breath away
after all is said your breath remains
