Who becomes a star?
Who will fall?
Took the way I know
Move along now
So sad, I lost my memory
The shape of things to come
Soot inside stopped inside me
There's just no time
It's the ending
Find the roadway
Got to let you know
I walk the way the wind blows
Softly, clouds of envy
I see its eyes, fireflies in time
Don't ask for anything, I see no room in my life
Don't ask for anything, and I don't know why
Talk to me, drag my memory across the seashore of sand
Yes I can
Trying to say it
But I'm getting tired, so I'll
I'll never I'll never I'll never
Hold your hand, hold the light
In the end
another butterfly
anything, cloud under
funny bird, burning word
traveling dreams forming in time
head start
words from an Indian
words Indian
talk
just alone
talk
traveling dreams forming in time
head start
words from an
words just talk

Beautiful savior, king of Creation
Son of God and Son of Man
You will we cherish
You will we honor
Light of my soul
my joy, my crown
Fair are the meadows
Fair are the woodlands
Robed in the flowers of blooming spring
Jesus is fairer
Jesus is purer
He makes our sorrowing spirits sing
Fair is the sunshine
Fair is the moonlight
Bright the sparkling stars on high
Jesus shines brighter
Jesus shines purer
than all the angels in the sky

I was home by the winter
I was home by the school town, undecided
and questions came, like
"What did you say you're doing now?"
Well I, I had hopes for my music
and I imagined their faces said
"Well, you can't do that, you silly thing"
God, he gave me a brave heart
but God, he gave me a chicken head and
I felt I'd failed
I am always beginning the world,
beginning the world.
I am always beginning the world,
beginning the world.
I am always beginning the world,
beginning the world.
I am always beginning the world,
beginning the world.
Aren't you bursting with butterflies on the fourth of September?
Like you have to get on the bus with your tartan dress and your lunchbox
though your body is 29
though your mind is an old thing
I mean, don't you ever sigh?
I am always beginning the world,
beginning the world.
I am always beginning the world,
beginning the world.
I am always beginning the world,
beginning the world.
I am always beginning the world,
beginning the world.
Always the same underdog stance
under the same happy sad sky
eternally crying,
"Am I still shy?"
I am always beginning the world,
beginning the world.
I am always beginning the world,
beginning the world.
I am always beginning the world,
beginning the world.
I am always beginning the world,
beginning the world.

Seth Heart: Harry, we've reached a breakdown point. What do you think we should do?
Reuben Walton: We should call in the troops.
SH: And as they scour across the land and feast on the flesh of the innocent, what should we do?
RW: We will look into the moon and we will see our true nature.
SH: A nature that is evil, rotten, violent, and vicious...
RW: With only the Thorn symbol to guide it...
SH: The moon and the blood revolt!
RW: On this one night, the constellation will appear in the sky...
SH: And a million and six dead horses will rise from the ground to attack and feast on the flesh of humans who have worked their entire lives with no petty criminal..charges on their record from childhood.
RW: And now, and the man who came home, will come home...
SH: With a shotgun in his hand ready to kill his cheating wife!
RW: And a butcher's knife.
SH: And a machete.
RW: And a couple syringes.
SH: Filled with blood from a herpes-infested...
SH and RW: AIDS-infested...
RW: (coughs)
SH: son of a bitch...
RW: And then a couple whores came to the back door.
SH: And ran outside, with a brand new bucket of eyeballs!
RW: (laughs) These were some sick sluts, yes they were! They were sitting there, they were trying to get the herd, but they couldn't hear it.
SH: They took six eyeballs a piece, stuffed them into a condom and tied it at the end, and shoved them into their vaginas!
RW: How's that for fetish? Bird's eye view now, huh?
SH: That's what it's called, the bird's eye view! What? (cackles maniacally)

Reuben Walton: Ha Chao Yun Fat, we have to get through the Oxford, or we will die trying.

RW: And everyone was so horned up. You should've seen them!
SH: Oh my god...they were just, like, screaming for attention. And then, like, one of us pulled our penises out, and they were like "Wooooo!" Oh, oh.
RW: And then they smoked five bowls.
SH: And then they smoked three more.
RW: And then a couple blunts.
SH: It's like a bullet.
RW: A bullet going straight to your brain.
SH: That's the one that's going to destroy the world! (laughing maniacally)
RW: (laughing maniacally)
SH: (swirling noise) Hits from the bong.
RW: (indistinct) And then, right as a filtering appeared, a young boy came to the realization: he had become a rescuing fish. A final rooting through the finery he sucked dick and harsh language... (indistinct)
SH: Lay in the coffin. They got a coffin.
RW: And they had mad coffins! And ill coffins!
SH: And there was, like, sixteen coffins and he came in each one, and then when they all opened all his body parts stuck together like they were glued, and they had mag--magnetic glue and charger for the rest of their life!
RW: Like they were magnified, straight from the Earth. But they were actually halfway between the Earth and the Moon, so they sucked all the--it was so magnetic that they sucked all the information off of everyone's credit cards in the entire world!
SH: Everyone in the entire world! Nowadays, all we have to do is--ball it up!

I know enough now
to hold my tongue
to not make a comment
it will surely pass
you will be happy again
but as for me
it's summertime
time to be happy with my life
and for now
doom is just a word in the dictionary
doom is just a word in the dictionary
I have trouble keeping from staring into space sometimes

Three hundred and fifty students
one shitty attitude for all time
these people never ever change
they go through life looking down their nose at you
barely bothering to conceal a smirk
a condescending judgement of your character
obsessed with their own irony
and no one ever questions it
at least they can look cool while
getting cancer with their calculated angst
when women and gay men have more to bear
than any of these fuckin' corny-ass hipsters
three hundred and fifty students
one lame outlook on life:
act like a dick to everyone you see who doesn't fit the character you mean
I'm making up these words
'cause it doesn't matter
I already said what I wanted to say
but there has to be a second verse

The happy Mondays, we blow down alleyways
in our raincoats, in afternoons.
The imaginary dogs beside us
are old friends, they will speak to you.
Happy in the daylight.
Breathe out, breathe in the end of school time.
Happy on the way home.
The west side also feels, and they know,
everything that I know.
The happy Mondays, we are blue-green
in the air, we are yellow, too.
The clouds of Pennsylvania break apart,
they move away from me and from you.
Happy in the daylight.
Breathe out, breathe in the end of school time.
Happy on the way home.
The west side also feels, and they know,
everything that I know.

It wasn't raining yet
But it was definitely a little misty on
That warm November night
And my heart was pounding
My inner voice resounding
Begging me to turn away
But I just had to see your face
To feel alive
And then you casually walked in the room
And I was twisted in the web
Of my desire for you
(And I was twisted)
My apprehension blew away
I only wanted you
To taste my sadness
As you kissed me in the dark
[Chorus:]
Every time I feel the need
I envision you caressing me
And go back in time
To relive the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night
And so we finished the Moet
And started feeling liberated
And I surrendered as you took me
In your arms
(You took me in your arms)
I was so caught up in the moment
I couldn't bear to let you go yet
So I threw caution to the wind
And started listening to my longing heart
And then you softly pressed your lips to mine
And feelings surfaced I'd suppressed
For such a long long time
(And I was lifted)
And for a while I forgot
The sorrow and the pain
And melted with you as we stood
There in the rain
[Chorus]
Last night I dreamed that I
Whispered the words I love you
And touched you so very
Subtly as we were kissing goodbye
(Pretty baby - How I'm missing you)
[Chorus]

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed days and dark sacred nights
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"
I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself, what a wonderful world

When you're down and troubled
And you need some loving care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
If the sky above you should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am I'll come running to see you again Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes I will
You've got a friend
Now ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you, yes, and desert you
They'll take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don't you let them
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am I'll come running to see you again Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes I will
You've got a friend

Derek Piotr: None are, secure, none are, permanent, none scar those minds in the pedantic rhythms are just lies, they burst forward into life. But none are secure, none scar the mind, they are all pedantic versus to lie. Um, ahmmm. (4x) Dolly Lee came out to see the town, dressed up in her go-to-meetin' gown. On her rib in letters large and black, she had printed "Dolly little pack and sack". A smooth young man who saw her name, you see, said "How do, Dolly? You remember me." Dolly looked him over and she winked the other eye, then quickly hid her pocketbook and made her first reply, "I remember you, I remember you. Now wasn't you the fella with the open umbrella that I met one rainy day upon the avenue? I remember you, I remember you. Gee, I'm awful glad I metcha, bet your life I won't forgetcha, I remember you." This young man took Dolly out to dine, ordered supper, everything was fine. When they'd had their second pint of wine, he said, "Dolly, won't you cash a check of mine?" She said, "Alright, my money is in my shoe. You wait here, I'll bring it back to you." She went outside and wrote a little note and then she fled. The waiter brought the note to him and these few lines it read: "I remember you, I remember you. Now wasn't you the fella with the open umbrella that I met one rainy day upon the avenue? I remember you, yes, indeed I do. Gee, I'm awful glad I metcha, bet your life I won't forgetcha, I remember you." I have found my religion by looking up to the sky. Why? Because He is the moment, He is there, He is there to heal, to heal you, now, now, now is the moment, the moment, of my devotion, that, that, complain that. I have found my religion by looking, looking, up to the sky. Why? Because He is there, He is there to... He is there, Lord of all things, Lord of all creations, Lord of my love, Lord of...haha. Wanna goolihaha, my religion. Is the moment. All the way down my green river, I found a woman who found in the first shale. Everything he said, turned out to be, a fat number on.

My heart is offered still to you. Say one farewell, my dear. Be not to constancy untrue. I can't watch, this disaster zone, anymore. It, pains me. (breathing) You don't know, me...
