You Are Wise 04:41
You Are Wise I said you were the devil and it made you cry; you said it wasn’t nice cuz hell is made of ice I’m not nice Then I called you Buddha, and you squirmed and hit me in the eye; I meant that you were wise, I said it to be nice You are wise Things that fester in the dark under rotting tree bark You put your hands into that place You’re giving hell a kind of grace Mountaintops and fights with cops You are green and bleeding on the street They kicked you with their feet, You’re spitting out your teeth You are green Let me see all that you see, oh please, I’m on my knees Let me see Like a toddler, like a cat You do not fear snakes or rats When you’re lying in the mud You don’t mind the sight of blood My love You are wise

Noontime Night We will find you, hidden girls You don’t need to please the world Have you seen the stalagmite rising in the noontime night? Who will love the ground untorn? Hold the seed that’s never born? Dark as a December morn No one’s dry within the storm Blood is flowing through your head, feeding thoughts that stay unsaid Time to rise up from your bed Nothing is no thing to dread No more colors black and blue Pink and red will have to do Find with me the buried clue There’s no time to think it through

Gold and Tea 04:57
Gold and Tea Sailing far in our corsair A scurvy-ridden rum-drunk pair Skin baked in the salted air My leg was pegged but I didn’t care When darkness covers the land The stars will fall on the sand We lose all needs and demands The wind is at our command Oh this twisted, folding sea Cotton, pepper, gold, and tea Siren song, so sweet in the air will hungry sailors’ souls ensnare Not ours; our hearts are laid bare We sail beyond all despair When we leave the last of the land The stars will fall on the sand We lose all needs and demands Open your eyes and stand Oh this twisted, folding sea Cotton, pepper, gold, and tea

For the Owls 04:38
For the Owls Keep away the morning Night begins, and you see clear And oh you want to see clear Oh you love the quiet here Wrap the hours around you This is yours, the world’s your home You see, you hear, you feel it Knowing ’cause you know know know Owls and snails Will trace invisible trails For you, for you, for you, hoo-oo-oo . . . . Wrap the hours around you Jasmine flowers crown you Build a tower or two See the spectrum in the blue Clean the blur of feelings The bleeding curse of real things You see, you hear, you feel it You need to hurt to heal it It’s all right to stay up all night If you can see clear, then you belong here
