Hallelujah! said the dove as she drank from the bowl of the winds I’ve been caged, I’ve been caged for so long though its winter whoa it feels just like spring My tits are dancing, my tits are singing Filled with milk, oh filled with joy And all the animals say my name When I start to bang on the drum Ring a ling Talitha kum Please understand this If we keep to the beat We’ll make it alright Ring a ling Talitha kum Please understand this With the flick of the wrist Blacker than night Im aroused by every sound A river of honey runs down my legs Go tell the blue jay go tell the lark Im ecstatic suspended in mid air I am open, lotus, creator, destroyer, Babylon Jerusalem, dynamo, jewel, Jupiter, watermelon, firemelon, I am child, I am child, I am king! Ring a ling Talitha kum Please understand this If we keep to the beat We’ll make it alright Ring a ling Talitha kum Please understand this With the flick of the wrist Blacker than night There’s no beginning and there’s no end It will come back all over again And all the dreaming and all the sorrow And all the love and all the mambo.

A seed 04:03
Through a crack inside my mind I can feel something coming out Like a vessel into space Waving its hands across the universe Reaching out towards the possibilities That lie beyond the veil “Do you realise the miracle that is that we can spend some time?” You said as we drank some beers sitting in the park that night And looked away… away… This thought fuelled by my heart Became a wish that pierced the skin This thought fuelled by my heart Became a seed that pierced the skin Of it all Through the thick and through the thin I hope that I can be there for you my friend Until the end Through the dark and through the light Through silence and through sound To be in you my friend until the end.

Pristine 04:30
Everybody’s dead in the future (get it on) There’s no point in meeting you there (pretty one) But if you get to the other side pristine (get it on) Then I would sit and endlessly stare (pretty one) Let it out Come on in Hold it down Lift it up And take it all away, Make it go away my dear Cut the heads of the emperors And take it all away Take it all away, make it go away my dear And i`ll bow down I still feel the desire (get it on) Burning up through the flesh (pretty one) If your house is on fire (get it on) Do you stand still in the flames? (pretty one) Let it out Come on in Hold it down Lift it up And take it all away, Make it go away my dear Wake the giants from the ashes And take it all away Take it all away, make it go away my dear And i`ll bow down The dead stare at me through the trees Look at me now I am shining.

Woman 05:56
Woman What else can I say? I’ve seen through your fire And I’ve seen through your rain Woman What else can I do? Maybe I don’t deserve you But I can’t stop thinking of you You move me and I move through you And nothing can ever defy you Woman What else can I say? You flow and cannot be contained Like things that cannot be contained You flow and cannot be contained And im swept away Woman The world can be strange But with you I don’t feel afraid Woman Your mouth is my wine You’ve made me a drunk And im never satisfied And I can smell you in my mind my dear The dogs are barking in the night My eyes are foggy and I can’t let you go Woman.

She was the moon and I was riding her glow Waltzing the tide waltzing the tide She carried madness and I let myself go Out in the night out in the night But I left a trail of breadcrumbs To find my way back home And when I followed it back It just led me to your door so I just went there and knocked Just waltzing the tide What really happened I just can’t recall Only the smile only the smile A bedlam of birds from drunken trees are a flowing Down from the palace my sorrows they seem to be calling And no matter how many times I try to get back home Somehow I always wind up Knocking at your door oblivious to it all Just waltzing the tide Just waltzing the tide.

Something stirs in the darkness Something that seems to be A naked shadow twitching and Flopping its purple wings Something shrieks I think its a part of me I lick my wounds and jump this ship Unleashed into the night And I feel like major tom along these dirty streets as I drift There by the light of the moon My friends There by the light of the moon The river meets the sea There by the light of the moon They said I joined the circus That I was a juggler at heart That I flew with the owls And took the swans for a ride They say that im a hustler They say im a fool That I am a walking danger That I am a power ranger But I guess that I just don’t know I just spin around and dream There by the light of the moon I weep There by the light of the moon I fade into the sea There by the light of the moon There by the light of the moon I sing There by the light of the moon Dance over the roof my friends There by the light of the moon

La niebla 05:10
Y ya no se ni en quién creer Ni que es verdad ni que es mentira Si nada vale nada Quién va a lamerme las heridas Y a veces siento que esta niebla no soy yo Y me elevo por encima del ruido que hace el miedo al crecer Entre los pliegues de la sangre va enredado El veneno que espera como flor en la noche Y somos la película Y la vida sigue igual A punto de estallar Y a veces siento que esta niebla no soy yo Y me elevo por encima del ruido que hace el miedo al crecer Entre los pliegues de la sangre va enredado El veneno que espera como flor en la noche

Somewhere 04:34
Is there any place we can go Just to have some fun? The pharisees are selling their gospel Going from door to door They deal with fear as their currency To fund their laws And now everybody’s putting up flags out On their front lawns I wonder how they’re doing in Cuba Or in Mexico A place where we don’t have to be always on the run Who knows maybe our bodies are just a metaphor But until we know for sure Can you take me somewhere fun? Somewhere where we can dance Take me somewhere warm Somewhere where we can be closer With no shame at all And although some can pretend Like they know whats going on Still the man in charge it seems like Could use a little fun (So can you take me) Somewhere where we can dance Take me somewhere warm Somewhere I could get to hold you With no shame at all And though death is on our heels Still the night is young And id like to think that we are Still able to love And to look at ourselves in the eye And to let it all go for a while To believe that we can be much more Than this image that gets in the way of you and me Somewhere where we can dance Take me somewhere warm Somewhere we could hold each other With no shame at all And though death is on our heels Still the night is young And id like to think that we are Still able to love
