the grit

Looking back i smile at an earlier me
making all those perfect mistakes
and i wonder, where would i be?
if i had ever just played it straight
I know what i should do, but i never liked the taste of boring
and how would you know know if it was sink or swim if you didn't dive in?
DONT FORGET ITS THE GRIT THAT MAKES THE PEARL
DONT FORGET ITS THE SHIT THAT MAKES THE FLOWERS GROW, WHEN YOURE KNOCKED DOWN, FACE TO THE GROUND, TAKE A LISTEN CAN YOU HEAR THAT SOUND, OF A CERTAIN SATISFACTION, KNOWING THAT YOU GO ON
I let my mind slide, let it go for a ride, cos the universe loves me and I feel that Im entitled
to be happy, permanently snappy, my smile flashing, my feet a tip-a-tapping
Im, trying to be wise, trying to get my eyes open, hoping my truth can be spoken, I
like to theorize and rationalize about why we are the way we are
but if it comes then it comes
and if it don't, then it don't
and the rest is a joke, you've got to let go, cos you are not in control
DONT FORGET ITS THE GRIT THAT MAKES THE PEARL
DONT FORGET ITS THE SHIT THAT MAKES THE FLOWERS GROW, WHEN YOURE KNOCKED DOWN, FACE TO THE GROUND, TAKE A LISTEN CAN YOU HEAR THAT SOUND, OF A CERTAIN SATISFACTION,KNOWING THAT YOU GO ON

make me feel

I feel positively holy when you're touching me slowly, make me feel, make me feel, make me feel
like my body is sacred and you have come to worship,
when you so reverently show me, how you want to get to know me, my love starts to flow,
cos you're my physical shaman and my spiritual, darling oh
MAKE ME FEEL MAKE ME FEEL MAKE ME FEEL
and you you can preach about prayer
go on about love, but while you are explaining, I´ll be generating, more than enough for the both of us
you can talk about Christ
as much as you like, but he'd agree with Buddha that it is all good for you, oh
So
MAKE ME FEEL MAKE ME FEEL MAKE ME FEEL
MAKE ME FEEL MAKE ME FEEL MAKE ME FEEL

speak to me

Speak to me darling, if it makes you feel good
Im just happy to sit here and watch your mouth move
we can talk about science and what you've been doing and the people around you who take up your time
I said Oh, its all just the same to me whatever comes out
the words that i want to hear you'll never pronounce
So tell me bput your vineyard you've been bottling wine, you've been learning so much, and feeling so fine
Rode north on your bicycle, all the way to canada
and you've never felt closer to being on track
I said oh, just what you want to, thats what you should do
Im glad that the choice you made has worked out for you
Well what can i tell you, Im doing alright, Ill be singing on the tv for a couple of nights
this city gets colder and i wish i could go somewhere else, but perhaps thats exactly the point
Oh, Just what I want to, thats what I should do,
Oh, if nothing else I have learned that from you
Yes my bed is still empty, yes my heart is still cold, like a little winter flower laying under the snow
But Im still hopeful, one of these days, I will meet someone beautiful, who means what they say
Oh, its been sweet talking but I really should go
Oh, the words that you want to hear have stuck in my throat
Oh, its been sweet talking but i really should go
oh, the words that I want to say, have stuck in my throat

You come from the fire boy, thats why you burn burn burn
you come from the fire boy, thats why you burn
and i let myself, get drawn to you, it did not seem to be so dangerous
you don't look like the type to burn, burn burn
but in the dark, things happen much too fast
that vital spark ran away with us
you come from the fire boy thats why you burn

we´re so far apart, we´ve got different stars
different days and nights
between the beating of our hearts
hundred thousand miles between the spring and the fall
hundred thousand miles, hundred thousand miles
AND WHAT IF I CANT GET HOME
WHAT IF THERE´S A TECHNOLOGICAL BREAKDOWN AND THE PLANES JUST DONT FLY ANYMORE
WHAT IF I, GROW OLD
BEFORE I EVER SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN
I don't even recall, how I came to be so far away
between the summer and winter, theres a curious fold in my concept of time and space
but I think of you so much, Im probably bringing you closer to me everyday
Ive got the scientists wondering about the shortened circumference in the distance between Spain, and Australia
AND WHAT IF I CANT GET HOME
WHAT IF THE WAR BREAKS OUT AND I GET THROWN IN JAIL
WHAT IF I, GROW OLD
BEFORE I EVER SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN
AND WHAT IF I CANT GET HOME
WHAT IF THERE´S A TSUNAMI AND THE WHOLE ISLAND GETS WASHED AWAY
WHAT IF I, NEVER STAND ON THAT SHORE
NEVER HOLD YOUR HAND OH NEVER SEE YOUR FACE
I, THINK ITS TIME, TO CALL HOME ;)

Im like an alley cat, rejecting your offer to be kept
Id rather go hungry, than to be somebody´s pet
id have to be crazy to give up all I have…. for that.
I like to walk the dark streets i like to be a predator
I think Ill keep my cold streak, over your cream on my whiskers
I LIKE TO SLIP THROUGH YOUR FINGERS AND LEAVE MY SCENT ON YOUR SKIN
I LIKE TO RISK IT ALL, TO SEE IF I WIN
so you can tempt me in, bait the hook with something sweet
but all your tenderness don´t velvet glove that iron fist
and ill just
SLIP THROUGH YOUR FINGERS AND LEAVE MY SCENT ON YOUR SKIN
I LIKE TO RISK IT ALL, TO SEE IF I WIN

you know its such a shame boy, that you're so insane
why´d you have to come so wounded to me?
we´ve got something special, but its all in vain, if you cant maintain, your sanity
you're so fuckin special, my minds a one way train, i cant even explain, what you've done to me
my genetic code, or maybe its my soul is making me behave kinda crazy
WHYD I HAVE TO BE BORN A MAMMAL
IF I WAS A BIRD I WOULD JUST FLY FREE
THIS WHOLE DANCE THAT LIFE LEADS US ON
JUST TO GET A LITTLE OF WHAT WE NEED
its all so goddamn crazy, with all these complications
until theres just no room for me
whats it gonna take, id happily pay, your therapy
WHYD I HAVE TO BE BORN A MAMMAL
IF I WAS A BIRD I WOULD JUST FLY FREE
THIS WHOLE DANCE THAT LIFE LEADS US ON
JUST TO GET A LITTLE OF WHAT WE NEED
FLIP THE SWITCH, OH
CHANGE THE CHANNEL
IM SO BORED, I FEEL SO SHALLOW
IN THE END WE´RE ALL JUST ANIMALS, ANIMALS, ANIMALS

i don't wanna let my lips, form no more nasty shapes
what if the wind should change?
I just wanna hold your hand, feel the blood run through, im in love with your bones, im in love with you
AND I, WATCH YOU GROW
I SEE YOU LIKE A CHILD OR A PLANT
AND OH, YOU SHOULD KNOW
THAT I, NEED YOU TO BE
MY MAN
how did that bitter twist, get into my mind
a little voice that overly likes to criticize
well im not gonna let my dreams get swept out of sight, im not gonna gonna let it, im gonna fight
AND I, WATCH YOU GROW
I SEE YOU LIKE A CHILD OR A PLANT
AND OH, YOU SHOULD KNOW
THAT I, NEED YOU TO BE
MY MAN

go home

go home to the valley where the fire, is on,
they're all still there, waiting patiently for the time between to be gone
go home to the forest, where the air smells like home
gonna sink your hands deep in to the earth, where the seed you were was sown
go home, to your people, smiling faces helping hands
small dusty town, clothed in memories, of the way you used to be
go home, to the mountains, secret places of your own
they're all still there, its only that you have grown
go home, go home
