I've.. been... Traveling the land from gravel into sand.. Not knowing where I'm going never having any plans.. Anything I wanted had to grab it in advance.
This is more than an idea (sing it), oooh. Show me all of who you are (sing it), oooh. A voice from the wilderness. Detroit and Port-au-Prince. Building the movement from the basic ingredients.
Stand up. We shall not be moved. Except by a child with no socks and shoes. If you've got more to give than you've got to prove. Put your hands up and I'll copy you.
We believed in love when love wasn't an option. She wanted to give birth, I wanted adoption. After days and days of conversation. We decided to go with fertilization.
Somewhere between prayer and revolution. Between Jesus and Huey P. Newton. That's where you find Jonny 5 shoot shootin'. Water guns at the audience while ya scootin'.
In my mind, I hold the passion. Panacea for the poison. My bruised and battered body. Washes up upon the shore sin. . Fleas from leaking wounds. Like rats from sinking ships.
So much pain, we. Don't know how to be but angry. Feel infected like we've got gangrene. Please don't let anybody try to change me. . Me. Just me. In the middle of a sea full of faces.
Mayday!. Born in the flood. Bloody fingerprint sets. Black marketed fresh. Water canons forget me not. Epitaph airbrush with death. White t's. Wife beaters.
Bah, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba. I see you sit. And swallow pain. For all of those. Who will not speak. You raise your voice. You fill the stage. Your eyes are wide.
I can ride my bike with no handlebars. No handlebars. No handlebars. I can ride my bike with no handlebars. No handlebars. No handlebars. . Look at me, look at me.
You played the field like a tractor. Scoped for greener pastures. But you never have scored. What you've never asked for. . Met someone who made me glow.
HANDLEBARS THE FLOBOTS !!!!!!!!!!!!. . I can ride my bike with no handlebars. No handlebars. No handlebars. . I can ride my bike with no handlebars. No handlebars.
If I hadn't been a quiet introspective kid. If I hadn't been a nerd, wouldn't have met with him. If we hadn't observed we'd be the best of friends. That preferred the spoken word to the toke and binge.
I can ride my bike with no handlebars. No handlebars. No handlebars. I can ride my bike with no handlebars. No handlebars. No handlebars. . Look at me, look at me.
Imagine me and you, I do. I think about you day and night. It's only right. To think about the girl you love,. and hold her tight.. So happy together.
[[Spoken: Transmitted.... signals coming through? .....okay. ]]. . Echo echo one-nine. Hear the call through fault lines. Smoke signals, old rhymes. Shorted lights in store signs.
Today you don't have to be a soldier. Don't have to be a soldier, stand down. It's okay to be as you were. Be as you were again. . Is it a scheme, is it a vision.
The water level's rising, the water level's rising. Everyone alive sing, who will turn the tide?. Bring about land grabs, sand bags, bring 'em out. It's hard to yell with the Atlantic in your mouth.
That was as far as the tide came in. I remember the starfish and the wails of the sirens then. We replaced the tridents, embraced Poseidon. Discovered ourselves living on an island.
By the time you get this message. I will be behind the wheel. Watchin' dotted yellow hexagrams. Stretch into the dark. Left hand surfin' on iced tinged winds.
