Answer to the death-wish
(question for the birth-mind)

Shot from the womb
hurtled into nowhere

ride the planet waves
into revolution
(spinning your own cosmos)

surfing through illusion

Still drinkin from the cup
(that overflowed with us)

TIME INSIDE
WENT WILD ACROSS ASIAN
MYSTERIES

(WE ATE THE FRUIT
TOOK THE
TRIP,
AND REACHED HOME)

lIVE WITH WHO YOU ARE
THAT IS THE ONLY PEACE

STOP ASKING SOMEONE ELSE TO INFLATE
YOUR FANTASIES
YOU MUST DESTROY YOUR
OWN DENIALS

It took years
to create my army

and only minutes
for the revolution
to destroy

all that was not neccesary

I've had to fight thru
these years

(angels on one shoulder
demons on the other)

hard to take the warrior
out of an old soldier

My freedom cost me everything
(& that's just the way I wanted it)

You're free
of me now

cause I moved
on enough to believe

(back to my angels and shamans
muscle car power of
American asphalt)

(I still have the rock n roll
power of my youth,
20, 30 years ago)

Still smell the gas and oil
wine and fire
pain & desire

Musta been good to be her lover
musta felt just like heaven

I believe I'll
just roll on down the line
(touch heaven
kick out some lights)

Stumble through
darkness
flickering with
sublimeness

Reality speaks for itself
it ain't in pretty words
(where you lay your head at night
tells the truth of who you are)

so frightened of ourselves
spend our lives running
(phantom visions)

I Came to this world
to find the universe inside you
the cool summer nighttime

(I know your scent
what you taste like
and how you melt divine )

If only you would dive inside
who you really are

and let this life tear you apart

American Man
Haunted-daunted
Driven
Sold on perfection
Can't say die
Can't hide

Must fly
Never breaks
Never bends
Don't stand Still

Takes no shit
Does'nt know how to quit

I don't fully understand
the mysteries or
what they want to do with us

(only that something fragile
cannot be broken
between us)

...White soft light of change
that joined our spirits that night,
we were praying to each other...

I am the changer
(What I believe in comes true)

Your are really
going to love what I believe in

When the sun rises
(on the real-you)

Of course
It was the Rock n Roll
That saved our Souls

That's the way we ride
(it's the way we fly)

Lettin' go of my angel
(she's flyin' in my sky)
layin down all my burdens

Yes I'm...

ridin' with your love

For the true beleivers
(true dreamers)

The ones that never "settled-down"
sould out
went straight

(everybody thinks they're wild
everybody thinks they're free)

few have the mark of the
beast

The demon's the one who sprouts
wings through your back and drives
you on

I used to understand the mysteries
(surrender)

I used to taste paradise on her
fingertips
(exhaltation)

I've forgiven myself now
for getting lost so many times

Deep in the cave of primal
night

This is what we needed
To save our souls

This is what we needed to make
Us whole

So Beautiful
we don't need to
write poetry about her

Can't stop the truth/it's a gun that loads itself/pull the trigger everytime

My Love has always
been here for you

You were just too afraid to step
off the cliff
(step out of your confusion)

(when you don't believe in
your own wings
You convince your self that
a cage is
freedom)

I Knocked down every goddamn door
I could to get to you
but you ain't in there

Some phantoms got you
(and you don't know it
or you won't show it)

Thank God
There's a Man
in the Oval Office
I can stand up
and proudly
Salute

We showed each other the angelic light
(that's enough)
Now let those flowers grow
(let those flowers alone)

Just a spinnin' your wheels
thinkin your goin somwhere

While my wings are wide open in
stillness
looks like I'm not moving but my
wings are filled with air


Tryin to live the straight life
actin like your free
(forget about me)

Lookin good
don't make you free

Life is a shotgun blast
no time to hesitate
