Face is in my mind
and my feet can't find the time.
I've had too much to rewind.
Back in time. Back in time I rewind
Back in time. Back in time I rewind.
The light shone so bright
that I had to ask myself why.
To find a new plan. That my life.
The things that I have to buy.
My mouth is too full of life.
And I tried and I tried and I tried.
The scenes gone down so many times,
how can I still get surprised?
This is how it is gonna cry out
in the middle of the night? In the middle of the night?
The sun came out of the sky.
And I looked into your eyes.
And I knew that you were not mine.
And you lied and you lied and you lied.
And we stayed together all night.
And we tried and we tried and we tried
I've had to remind myself
why the clouds look up in the sky.
And the sun keeps passing me by.
It keeps burning you into my eyes.
The sun came out of the sky.
And I looked into your eyes.
And I knew that you were not mine.
And you lied and you lied and you lied .
And my mouth has been full of life.
And I tried and I tried and I tried.

Used To Be My Man

*talking* How’s that idiot salad taste? It seems like you're doubling up.
Flowers bloom inside my shell.
Leave me to the woods when I'm dead.
I know they'll take my heart and my pride.
I'll lay into the ground and forget.
I look up at the sky
to see the moon as yours.
The face is changing with the world I used to know.
Where do I look in the sky?
To separate the light.
I got to run away.
To see the sun on a brighter day.
The clouds have been in my way.
The sky opens, it drags.

It’s Probably Nothing
04:51

And I know it's probably nothing of my own design,
but I can't help this feeling that's growing deep inside.
And I've tried to make up my mind.
But it's nothin to what my head been sayin this whole time.
My head's been spinning around once. Or twice
to hear what the stars have. Said tonight.
And my stomach's got a knot the size of a fist.
And it gets tighter every time I meet your eyes.
And there's a greater thing growing inside.
That I. Can't get out. No matter how hard I try.
And the clouds tell the story of my night.
And I'll always have.
The voice that didn't have the. Right.
And I know it's probably nothing of my own design,
but I can't help this feeling that's. Growing deep inside.
And I've tried to make up my mind.
But it's nothin to what my head been sayin this whole time.
And the streets. Don't know what tale I've spun today.
But the hard pavement is like a pounding race.
And I run to get away from what I don't know.
When the sun. Comes up and the moon goes down, it's. A whole new thing, whole new game.
And there's new rules to play. I don't know.
And I know it’s probably nothing of my own design
but I can't help this feeling that's growing deep inside.
And I've tried to make up my mind.
But it's nothin to what my head been sayin this whole time.

Skipping Pond
03:08

Rain pours on my head.
Beads fall from this ledge.
Flowers and plants they grow.
The sun loves them so.
Paint on the page.
Simple mark for my bride.
Rocks in the skipping pond.
Watch how they ripple on.
Rocks in the skipping pond.
Watch how they ripple on.
The mountains Speak to me.
They tell me their stories.
Swim in the water's deep.
Mother nature's in retreat.
Rocks in the skipping pond.
Watch how they ripple on
rocks in the skipping pond.
Watch how they ripple on.
Rain pours on my head.
Beads fall from this ledge.
Flowers and plants they grow.
The sun loves them so.
Rocks in the skipping pond.
Watch how they ripple on.
Rocks in the skipping pond.
Watch how they ripple on.

Campfire Song

It's a hard morning and a bright night.
There's $1 million dreams at midnight.
And I'm so far away from home.
It's a mile walk away or so.
It's a hard morning and a bright night.
There's $1 million dreams at midnight.
And I'm so far away from home.
It's a mile walk away or so.
Can't see out my left eye.
Cause when I turned five I looked straight into the sun.
Now I'll never see anyone.
My heart aches, my head pounds.
I close my eyes to try and down the feeling in my throat rising up.
Can't have anyone.
There's a feeling in my head
I won't wake up here.
New place to go and I don't. You don't.
It’s a Hard morning and a bright night.
There's $1 million dreams and midnight
and I'm so far away from home.
It's a mile walk away or so.
It's a hard morning and a bright night.
There's $1 million dream at midnight.
And I'm so far away from home it's a mile walk away or so
the fire cries while I'm near.
And I can't remember everything.
I'm supposed to hear.
In and out of my ear.
Not a thing is up here.
And I turn 13.
I let the world hold me.
And I didn't let anyone in.
And I still haven't.
And I turned 17,
I lost all feeling.
Why do I let you tell me how to feel? I don't need you here.
There's a feeling. In my head.
I don't know where you went.
And I'll keep looking on and on.
It's a hard morning and a bright night.
There's $1 million dreams at midnight.
And I'm so far away from home.
It's a mile walk away or so.
It's a hard morning and a bright night.
There's $1 million dreams at midnight.
And I'm so far away from home.
It's a mile walk away or so.
*talking and laughing* I'm human and I need to be loved just like everybody else does.

Flowers grow from your hair.
Your neck is your trunk.
Something has to begin to end at all
As swiftly as you make life.
You can take your pride away.
Obey me. Maria.
You're lying to my eyes.
There's meaning to what you're saying.
Behind your disguise.
Oh, baby. Maria,
Don't lie to me.
Your judgments be clouded.
You can even see
Ever since you left.
I can't seem to breathe.
The flowers won't bloom.
And neither will the trees.
Ever since you left.
I can't seem to breathe.
The flowers won't bloom.
And neither will the trees.
Obey me. Maria.
You're lying to my eyes.
There's meaning to what you're saying.
Behind your disguise.
Oh, baby. Maria,
Don't lie to me.
Your judgments be clouded.
You can even see
Oh, but ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Flower moon.
Are you rising soon?
Flower moon.
It's almost half past noon.
The stage is set.
The sky is clear.
We've all come out to see you appear.
Bated breath.
Not a sound.
We're all waiting to turn around
Flower moon.
Are you rising soon?
flower moon
It's almost half past noon.
I stand by the shore.
Sea shells and rocks floor.
They fall in the cloud
Right next to you, Around
Flower moon.
Are you rising soon?
Flower moon
It's almost half past noon.

Children

I should have known the day you left,
you'd be on the road to uninhibited.
Unzip my broken bones and use them for fire
Surely I'd be hung up on that severed wire.
I could have built a life to love.
I could have built a home to hug.
But it's never about what could have been.
It's all about what?
The children, man.
I tend to grieve the living.
It hurts just as bad when they're no longer breathing.
Pearls fall right off my skin.
So when they released it, you know, it's serious.
I could have built a life to love.
I could have built the home to hug.
But it's never about what could have been.
It's all about what?
The children, man.
I could have built a life to love.
I could have built the home to hug.
But it's never about what could have been.
It's all about what?
The children, man.
I could have built a life to love.
I could have built the home to hug.
But it's never about what could have been.
It's all about what?
The children, man.

Why does the sky start to shift?
There's been a change of plans with what's been left.
I can't hold up the sun.
The plants have to find their own way on.
Build me a coffin so I can lay down to rest.
The vultures will come.
And pick my skin to shreds.
Why would you leave me here in the snow?
I've grown so old.
My poor dying bone.
Leaves start to fall right off my branch.
I'll try my best to hold on to what's left.
I can't seem to handle the seasons change.
It's too much for me to handle,in my last day.
Build me a coffin so I can lay down to rest.
The vultures will come and pick my skin to shred.
Why would you leave me here in the snow?
I've grown so old.
My poor dying bone.
Piles on piles of something that I cannot see.
Cover all the grass below me.
Help me find the rhythm in my feet.
The sand is but a gray between me.
Build me a coffin so I can lay down to rest.
The vultures will come and pick my skin to shreds.
Why would you leave me here in the snow?
I've gone so old.
My poor dying bones.

I thought Deep Maine and Operate Spaceship Earth Properly were *distinct* strands in this band's work. Fool that I am, man of narrow imagination.............also, I bet the body of work as he recorded it is good and I merely haven't heard my way in, but at the moment I do wish Prince had just been Colleen.
