In Kind
03:04
|
|

|
I sent some flesh to the lab
Elevated by brass
It came back in kind, in kind
Take this power and run
On a suction climb
It pays back in kind, in kind
I feel our fortune is luck
Burning up this hollow in kind, in kind, in kind
And I am highest
I am highest
I am highest in kind, in kind, in kind
And I am highest
I am highest
I am highest in kind, in kind, in kind

This Wisdom
02:37
|
|

|
If I wasn’t so blown I would fear for my soul
So casual by order of law
In this wisdom there’s a darkness and it’s bringing me down
If I wasn’t so lazy I would probably be famous
Handsome but blameless, a virile animal
In this wisdom there’s a darkness and it’s bringing me down
Envision a sound like a victory now
Should this wisdom fail us
In this wisdom there’s a darkness and it’s bringing me down
Envision a sound like a victory now
Should this wisdom fail us
If this is the gallery, I need to leave this place
It’s just like I’m looking through the eye of god
If there is an eye of god
Digging a painting made me hungry as hell
I’m the picture of health, like unchecked violence
In this wisdom there’s a darkness and it’s bringing me down
Should this wisdom fail us
Wisdom fail us…

No Concept / No Logic
02:06
|
|
||
|
Oh, there is no concept
It’s all been left to chance
And there is no logic
As far as I can tell
One must become as large as one can to see one’s worth
Then one must hold the object up higher than the self
It seemed so much easier to be as he was
A celebrated sailor come to Eastern shores
See, I have heard it mentioned he was a doctor there
All the children loved him, he gave an elephant drugs
Here’s to the strange equation of a strange young man
Who held no value greater than present usefulness
Oh, there is no concept
It’s all a game of chance
And there is no logic
I have learned this well

A Second Season
02:37
|
|
||
|
He was shared by the hungry people
Shared by the ravenous evil
Now he has raised upright
Enters a second season oh, whoa oh
‘Round the maypole, youthful cravings
This is his second season
This is his second season
He was in his second season
In his second season

Ancients
04:38
|
|
||
|
Now the new camera holds the man just the same
Same as all 99, he makes his home on the plains
He taught us right
Behave, but not too fine
And try to find some ancient proof of a higher tech
Like some winged cannibals
Come The Eagles to my town
Pay no mind where they go
I eat the wild animals
We know what’s right
A brave and noble life
We try to find some ancient proof of a higher tech
Ancient commissions
Wasted youngness

Spanish Mansions
02:05
|
|
||
|
All seven islands I must destroy
The fool hatchets off his wings
Both rival and tribe soon will have passed
Through Spanish mansion walls
Walls…
This is our prime
Plain and white
We are now the keepers of the gate
Behold the empire that soon we will grasp
Through Spanish mansion walls
Walls…
A vicious march through
Spanish mansion walls

7th Wonder

Hallelujah is a sorry sodden mantra
Hallelujah seventh wonder
Hallelujah for the slogan and the sponsor
Hallelu-hallelujah
Hallelu-hallelujah
Whosoever becomes
Whosoever becomes
Pinned with fortune
Soon is gonna receive their shots
Who is in my mind?
The charming obelisk and the full moon come out again
Ooh, when I open my eyes
I see the magic in this bliss
Will we ever get grown, oh, believing in ghosts?
Hallelujah is a sorry sodden mantra
Hallelujah seventh wonder
Hallelujah for the slogan and the sponsor
Hallelu-hallelujah
Hallelu-hallelujah
Who is in my mind?
The charming obelisk and the full moon come out again
Ooh, the wizards of blood
They see the measure of this bliss
Will we ever get grown, oh, believing in ghosts?
Hallelujah is a sorry sodden mantra
Hallelujah seventh wonder
Hallelujah for the slogan and the sponsor
Hallelu-hallelujah
Hallelu-hallelujah

The Veteran: James Page
01:40
|
|
||
|
We’re too strange, barely
It’s probably a plus
Blessed with custom vision of young hawks
Compared to the square waves jittery drone
A twenty ton riff drops wondrous and total
Oh, let the veteran, James Page, deliver us to god

Flying Tigers
03:05
|
|
||
|
I am sitting in corduroy cloud
Fragile but real in a funny way
It’s a kingdom of tribes that we call The Flying Tigers
Reach out and gather all the certified branches
And we’ll live out our fantasies in the leaves
It’s a kingdom of tribes that we call The Flying Tigers
Oh, no we are not phantoms
We’re just victory arrows
Bound for the sun
Bound for the sun
Now the bleachers hold a skeletal menace
Tomorrow we jet to the golden carousel
A kingdom of tribes, we are The Flying Tigers

Masters
03:28
|
|
||
|
Help us turn out ten foot and temper free
Thin and nervous, a hollow antiquity
I heard that you fell ill
Enough to stay in bed all day
We’re masters of a hazy brain
Please preserve us on this holiday
Feed us birds and sing their melodies
I heard that you fell ill
And I felt the same sick way
We’re masters of a hazy brain
I will purchase, howl, and harness

Claude Monet
02:34
|
|
||
|
The sergeant, Miss Majors, and I’ve come
To see the pictures of old Claude Monet
And the wealth was pleasant
Summering on old courage
Held in an unusual light
And we lazed there until the flies came
All the patrons fell in line
Visiting the vivid dreams of Claude Monet
