Joe says: Heaven my heart
Is heavy for you
Open your skies
Do what you do

Have mercy on me
I just didn’t know
How to walk in your light
And warm in its glow

They say: Lumberin’ Joe
Got nowhere to go
If you have the time
He’ll put on a show

He’ll dance like a doll
Hanging from strings
Clownin' around downtown and
He mimes what he sings

And you can see him through your
Special point of view
The Christ of Karma on ya
Lawn

He’ll give you a clue
Of the next thing to do
To tease and to play
In the human way

An ease of the mind
Best use of your time
He’s new and he’s old
But a body don’t hold forever

Joe says: I’m bleedin' my last
Should be any day
Ain’t I give ya some sweet soul steps
Along the way

Heaven my heart
Is heavy for you
Open your skies
Do what you do

Lumberin' Joe

Want you to come and never go
Come home

Don’t ever leave or go away
Please stay

It’s pretty outside
But I am locked-in
Exhausted my mind
To understand
My day will come
You promise again
Hatred be gone
Relief in the end

Levity
Come home
Levity
Please stay

The Levity Prayer

Dear Maddie,
You’re not the best, I know
But you’re the best I know
And I’m the best I know
How to be

Dear Maddie,
They say it isn’t cute
But you are resolute
And that’s what makes you cute
To me

I saw you learning how to walk the tightrope
I hear you’re practiced now quite well
And everyday I’ll hear you walked the tightrope
Until the day I hear you fell

Dear Maddie,
‘Shame your fortune hides
On the other side
Are you sure you’ve tried
Everything?

Dear Maddie,
We know that I play rough
We know it’s not enough
If I could speak my love
I’d say please, sorry and thank you

Please, Sorry And Thank You

Float, drift, bend
Softly sway
Slow & deep
Subdued, sedate

Moaning spell
Unlocks a
Pitch-black peace
A whole world
In a moment
Just one mood
Of the beast

If you can’t join ‘em
Drop out
Drop-out jam

Hurt too hard
Moved to the fringe
Almost gone
Dancing with futility

Closed-eye fun
A party for one
Just relax
Hypnotizability

If you can’t join ‘em
Drop out
Drop-out jam

A Whole World of Pitch-Black Peace

I am haunted day and night
by phantoms of sorrow and fear
This has been my plight
For seventeen years
and I swear it's too much

I work so hard to fight these ghosts
Just trying to get me some peace
They keep bleeding their host
and they will not release
and I swear it's too much

I will not fall on my sword
I don't wanna make my loved ones sad
It's not hope that stops me anymore
I don't wanna make my loved ones sad
But it's not up to me
Just how far these phantoms will drive me mad
and I swear it's too much

I found a new religion that tells me "You'll die of your fighting"
and that's probably true
They tell me "You'll die of your fighting"
and it's probably true
Not only will their god save my life
But they say he can help with the phantoms too
Oh, God, they're too much!

Haunted - New Religion

Habit and novelty
If it’s a binary code
Watchin is the option
But it’s so yesterday’s mode

What’s past the tribal scene?
What does the latest trend really mean?
Is it all down to being alive?
Is it all over when we die?

My lucky friends with their poor imaginations
I wish I didn’t know so much
Looks like effect before cause on this one
I sure hope nothing is lost

Aren’t we just pushed and pulled
Some do get more than they can bear
The meaning in our lives
Is it all down to what is fair?

And what is fair?
What is fair?

Is it a gift that we can heal?
Is it all down to what we feel?
Roamed the earth for restitution
I found this resolution

Cooked in the soil of grievance
Call it Ireland
Stewed with sincere mischievance
Something with words, something with plants

It feels like chaos when there’s changing
Looks like the masses must be blind
You know you’d best outsource your thinking
And find two of a kind

Sacred and profane
A new science an old alien contact
Helplessly hopelessly superficial game
Jam the cogs with this almanac

My head is spinnin’
My head is swimmin’
But you should know
I’m never kiddin’

A Light Chat With A Few Micks

We're given learning
Given yearning
Pointless potential
And the watching it waste

Cuz we're given just a scrap of health
Just another joke
From a family tree
Without any taste

Wells of beauty
Everywhere you look
They fill the mind
And the knowing's sublime

They soften the walls
I feel the shape of things
On the other side
And the knowing's sublime

But there's not enough time
To scratch the surface
Of the tip of the iceberg

There's just not enough time
To use these gifts

Give me all the time I need
Give me all the time I want
Give me time enough at last

I believe
Someday we'll be free
Of universal miseries

Appreciating All

Yellow sun, blue sky
white clouds floating by
green grass, purple flowers
A rainbow world has magic powers of

Cheer! Joy! Glee! Gaiety!
I feel as one with this day's energy
Light and free, there's opportunity
To play all the games that are right in front of me

As the day turns into night
I feel content in the twilight
Revelry 'round the fire bright
I am alive!

Smell the life growing anew
Hear the birds chirping too
Bare my feet to feel the ground
Let the breeze blow me around

Up on wheels or walkin'
To a cool place, I've heard 'em talkin'
Kinda just surveyin'
The blessed track that God is layin'

Get to the big crowd
Then the smaller group who's not so loud
Exchange our signs of love
And dig the world that I'm part of

As the day turns into night
I feel content in the twilight
Revelry 'round the fire bright
I am alive!

This is a pretty place
To meet in mental space
And nothing can erase
This beautiful time!

Practical Paradise

I see your face each day
When will you pass my way?
Give me a chance to say
Hey, hey, hey

Jade, Jade, Jade
Lookin' so fine
Jade, Jade, Jade
Would ya be mine

I see your face each day
When will you pass my way?
Give me a chance to say
Something to make you stay
Hey, hey, hey
