Fare Thee Well

I like the way that you talk
Love on my dog and take her on walks
You make such beautiful art
You have such a pure, special warm heart

I like the way that you smile
Choogling along all of the while
Lending me excellent books
Giving me the most soft longing looks

Remember the fourth of July
When fireworks happened in more than the sky
Remember the fourth of July

I like the way that you are
I’ve been with you by train, boat and car
Mylanta the things that we’ve seen
I wanna see more, you know what I mean

Dialogues Concerning the Mojo of Jason Matu

Susan

Believe what you’re seeing

Go and misbehave 
Ride an ether wave 
Try and be a great ape
To your senses come 
From their fences run
To the end has just begun
The undiscovered calls
The uncovered enthralls 
A vision quest befalls
The Rosetta Stone 
Is your spirit alone 
It can’t speak on its own

Believe your seeing
It has the power
To make you new
Realties

Stay inside the abyss 
Till you find your bliss 
Make it your genesis
From your crashes fly
From your ashes rise 
From their flashes don’t go blind
Make some friends with stars 
Drink the truth from jars 
Free your mind from behind those bars
Rest upon the wind 
With the birds that sing 
Welcome to your awakening

Believe your seeing
It has the power
To make you new
Realties

Good day, say hey, come play
Someday, Monday, today
Somewhere, nowhere, be there
Who cares, I care, we care
First glance, sun dance, romance
finance advance perchance
Good day, say hey, come play
Sunday, Monday, Today

Everyday is like a rainy one
Sometimes you’re stuck in the sun
Sometimes you get your way
Or none or none or none

Somewhere, nowhere, be there
Who cares, I care, we care
Good day, say hey, come play

They say there’s no place like home, but I 
Know that home is not a place
They say there’s no place like home, but I 
Know that home is not a place

They say there’s no place like home, but I 
Know that home is not a place
They say there’s no place like home, but I 
Know that home is not a place

They say there’s no place like home, but I 
Know that home is not a place
They say there’s no place like home, but I 
Know that home is not a place

They say there’s no place like home, but I 
Know that home is not a place
They say there’s no place like home, but I 
Know that home is not a place

Home Is Not A Place

Mirror shards on country grass
Ancient being cut in half
Being cruel for a laugh
Now I can’t even imagine that
Monument to flowing sands
Mother Nature understands
Yeah, regrets, I’ve got a few
I bet it’s safe it’s the same with you

I’m a new person now
I’m a new person
I am whole
I’m a new person now
I’m a new person
I am whole

Etherized across the sky
The passing ladies say oh my
I got used to falling down
When my problems finally drowned
Looking for a place to go
To mention Michelangelo
Drifting piece of a distant star
I truly feel I’ve come so far

I’m a new person now
I’m a new person
I am whole
I’m a new person now
I’m a new person
I am whole

Flower through the rock that’s grown
Ever toward the sun it’s shown
Candle burning at each end
But now free of playing let’s pretend

I’m a new person now
I’m a new person
I am whole
I’m a new person now
I’m a new person
I am whole

New Person

I don’t know if she was throwing it away
I couldn’t tell, I ran away
Though I know it’s gonna haunt me to the end
I’d do it all again

I’m getting better dying of the cure
You can get better dying of the cure

I take a puff and I take a couple pills
I take my bike through Cypress Hills
Overthinking drinking last night
In the beauty of the sunlight

I’m getting better dying of the cure
You can get better dying of the cure

Friday night rambles around inside my mind
I’d search my memory but I’m scared of what I’d find
Looking in the mirror, asking those questions of the glass
Never learning nothing, just like I did in class

I’m getting better dying of the cure
You can get better dying of the cure
I’m getting better dying of the cure
You can get better dying of the cure

Dying Of The Cure

It used to be so cool, but now I hear it’s not
They left in the kitchen, where it got too hot
I know it’s hard to hear it, it’s got to hurt a lot
Something’s rotten in the heart of Denmark

Give me seven reasons, show me whacha got
Dry up all your eyeballs, and wipe away your snot
Search your recollection, I think that you forgot
Something’s rotten in the heart of Denmark

I swear, I am not who I am. 
I am somebody else.

Spectral apparitions suddenly appear
An angry mob is forming to drive them outta here
I’m searching for quotations to take from King Lear
Sound and fury, signifying nothing

Maze-like though it isn’t, it seems we’re lost in fear
Of losing all the nothings that we hold so dear
The world’s surely ending, let’s drink another beer
Sound and fury, signifying nothing

I swear, I am not who I am. 
I am somebody else.

Shall I compare you to a summer’s day
You are more lovely and more temperate
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May
And summer’s lease has all too short a date

Little baby spiders never cry boo-hoo
I’m thinking that it’s something only human children do
I think I’ll find the answer when I get the flu
Many true words were said just joking

Mysteries are dying, making orphans of the clues
Homer never mentioned once the color blue
But while we’re on this journey, we have to see it through
Many true words were said just joking

I swear, I am not who I am. 
I am somebody else.
I swear, I am not who I am. 
I am somebody else.

I Am Not Who I Am

Not too long ago, I got cursed by ghost dogs in a haunted house in upstate New York. Disoriented from the effects of the curse, I tripped and fell into a then never-ending seeming abyss of pure darkness. From within the void, I called to my friends. One of them told me of a spell from their grandmother and pulled me out with a rope made of purple and gold. So I took a dried chili pepper that I bought at the grocery store, set it on fire and circled its smoke clockwise seven times, and crossed the threshold. Then I consulted the oracle for the location of a cow. I found her at Seldom Rest Farms. I fed to Curse Breaker a half a loaf of Martin’s Potato Bread. That broke the curse. The ghost dogs and I were then free to move on. 

Momma come, get these guns
Bury them far away from the sun
I’ve got to go and find my way
When I’ve found
Another sound
Pick it and I come around
I’ll come back from that lost highway

All I know is I wasn’t to blame
It wasn’t me
It was so insane
It was the ghost dogs of the haunted house

Khubla Khan, what is this
Isn’t Xanadu still your bliss
Or did it die in last year’s freeze
In a crowd, all alone
I fell well outside my zone
And hid somewhere in the trees

All I know is I wasn’t to blame
It wasn’t me
It was so insane
It was the ghost dogs of the haunted house

Every single little universe
Could bounce back then and finally burst
Better for being or none the worse
What’s the matter
Every single little universe
Could bounce back then and finally burst
Better for being or none the worse
What’s the matter

All I know is I wasn’t to blame
It wasn’t me
It was so insane
It was the ghost dogs of the haunted house
All I know is I wasn’t to blame
It wasn’t me
It was so insane 
It was the ghost dogs of the haunted house
