hey, it’s 8 o’clock and the gates just opened, did you see the fire parking but you still gotta walk half a mile, well it isn’t hot yet but its gonna be a smoker, it’s still pretty early, there’s probably good stuff left, well it’s first come and first served, and they only take cash, if you want it you’d better get it now, because it might be gone later, what are you looking for, or would you rather be surprised, it’s mostly junk but it’s fun to walk around for the unexpected, at the flea market, at the flea market

Slow Beginning

it’s so pretty in the sun and it shines like amber, it’s uncommon, a little crazy but its what I wanted, I had a slow beginning, I wasted too much time, I had a slow beginning, I wasted too much time, to some it’s garbage, and just some crap that sits in the basement, there’s some attraction, I can’t explain and I gotta have it, I had a slow beginning, I wasted too much time, I had a slow beginning, I wasted too much time, it’s so pretty and there’s some chrome, it’s partly plastic but that’s OK, it’s not that special or even rare, but neither am I slo what can I say?

It's Only Stuff
02:58
|

i lost my job, the car got wrecked, my money’s gone, but it’s only stuff,i collected things, and i had much pride, when my time runs out, its only stuff, when the clock is ticking and my time is up, when i stand wishing i was good enough, but i am, i’ve had good luck and i’ve chosen well, so many that i’ve known but its only stuff, when the genie shows up and i make a wish it’s only a gypsy wind that’s blowing, all these records and these tapes, all the work that was involved, it’s divided in the end, it’s only stuff, cause it’s only stuff, i collected things and i held them close, but they’re faded now, but it’s only stuff, it’s only stuff that reminds me

I'm Lost
04:17

i should , be good and rely on my nature, i’;m lost then i;m found sometime in the future, the odds don’t favor my trunk going and leaning that way and i tend to fall back on my usual habits that don;lt help sustain any growth in any substantial way, i;m lost and the cost is more than i expected, i;m gone was wrong to think i discovered, the odds don’t favor my branch growing and leaning that way and i tend to fall back on my usual habits that don’t help sustain any growth in any substantial way,so guess what? i;m lost, i;m still lost mercy, well he traveled for weeks and he went a long way and he hiked to the top of the mountain, and then he waited even longer, and then was finally granted au audience and instead of asking the question he had considered, he simply stood there and asked “why?”, and the master looked at him and said “don’t worry”, i should be good and rely on my nature, i’m lost then i’m found sometime in the future, i’m lost

It Didn't Hurt At All
02:48
|

|
I’ve got a hell of a story, It’s a rather sordid tale for woe, once you hear the details, might not believe it
it didn’t hurt at all, I fell on some concrete
it took 5 people to pick me up, then my eye exploded and went blind but I guess I got lucky,it didn’t hurt at all, on top of all that bullshit then I had a major stroke
they also found a faulty heart valve why not kick me while I’m down, It wouldn’t hurt at all
, my head, my eye, my aching back, the drugs to soothe it only made me sick, the time just lying in a useless heap,oh no, here comes the MRI

Where The Sun Goes

hey ho where the sun goes, hey ho where the sun goes, i’m trying to make sense of a globe that spins, start one place and back again the cycle repeats but i must say, i prefer the when the sun comes out, i prefer the light of day, hey ho where the sun goes
hey ho where the sun goes, i’m no good when the dark takes charge, hey ho where the sun goes, hey ho where the sun goes
in the black my inner child rises and my fear gets large, hey ho where the sun goes
hey ho where the sun goes, i’d better tell you cause you’d better know, hey ho where the sun goes, hey ho where the sun goes
i come in at sunset, i follow the light that’s where i go, don’t make me bend

i lost my train of thought, then i lost my train of thought, where did it go, where it go, where did it go, i’ve got trouble in a million ways, i sat down to count it and i lost my way, i’ve got company that’s for sure and let me just make one thing clear, it’s mine i own it, this part of reluctance, this capsule without remedy, it’s mine, it’s mine, then i lost my train of thought, i lost, train of thought, i lost…

Critical Comment

what’s the message?,what’s the picture I get? where’s my package the one you said you sent? is there a meaning , is there a moral, more or less, do you still like me
though you forgot my address, feelings are bound to happen, tensions can rise healing takes plenty of effort, not only what but then why, there’s no easy solution and none that is best, maybe it matters
maybe that’s just all that we get where’s my head at, what the hell did I mean?
I get bothered by the littlest thing I see
critical comment, I’m not too good with that, Please go easyand load it with plenty of tact, feelings are bound to happen
tensions can rise ,healing takes plenty of effort, not only what but then why
there’s no easy solution, none that is best
maybe it matters , maybe that’s just all that we get

Burnt Indigo

and so on we go, like burnt indigo
watch your step , you better stop there it’s genocide, the mountain is steep, and the way is narrow and dangerous, only some of us will make it and we’ll sing of the glory of the ones left behind , our kids will brag that
we led the way past the cracks, but it’s a little devious, cause we took advantage and trampled on some backs and so on we go, like burnt indigo, history dies, and monuments lie, and so on we go, like burnt indigo, watch your step, better stop there it’s suicide, at the summit of the peak we rested, we spoke of luck and fortune and some of us even prayed ,our band was ragged and worn out from the journey
we argued and shouted at the the next steps to take,and so on we go like burnt indigo

Precious Pieces

calling all my friends, even the misfits
help me out, call me back, find me now
within your heart, the loveliness of that time
it feels like faded moments and it aches like pains forgotten but at the time it seemed like precious pieces and the mist turned into golden rain and the river was like silver
even though i’m filling in the blanks because i’m hazy on the details and would later blame my stroke, i lost track of something special, where did it go?

Falling Down
07:53
|

|
I took a walk in the park ,then I realized it
stumbled round in the dark, for a moment it was clear, for a moment saw inside, and then couldn’t deny it, for a lifetime spent in blindness, for all the decades lost in ego
out the top of my head, came a sliver of silver, with the slightest tint of red, if it was blood it doesn’t matter, the diagnosis was now muddied, by my constant references to dubious sorts, falling down, fall to earth
rising up, go back to where you’re wanted
call a tiny toe a head but it doesn’t change a thing, lost the election but instead, you made false claims, you posted to your kind
lies transform into acceptance, falling down, fall to earth , rising up, go back to where you’re wanted, falling down, fall to earth , come around, go back to where you’re wanted
