Album: V [2001]
| Simple Creed | |
|
Born with back to the god
That spit you out on the riverbed
Angry at who? me? you better back up fool
I bet you took a gun to school too
But now, nobody's takin your candy
You just keep on livin this tragedy
La da da da da da da, to each his own, but
I wait for you to take my hand
Cuz we need each other
We gotta love each other
Born with your back to the god
That picked you up by the puppy scruff
Angry at who? me? you better back up fool
And be grateful that the real me's always hidin from you
Now, nobody's takin your bicycle
Maybe somebody should take your microphone
La da da da da da da, to each his own, but
I wait for your to understand
That we need each other
We gotta love each other
That we need each other
[tricky rap]
Yeah, cuz we need each other
You know, we gotta love each other
Cuz we need each other, yeah
We gotta love, we gotta love each other
(this simple creed of love is all I follow
This simple creed of love is all I follow)

| Deep Enough | |
|
We hit the room
Me and my crew
And it was cool until we bumped into you
Now it's been years but there you were
Like a mustang
Redlining every single gear with a
Man in pants
Like he was born
In '49
But lost his groove
Back when jesus died
I wanna know, are those replacement hips?
Is that a swatch watch?
Do you know what time it is?
Does he run it deep enough to take you there?
Does he run it deep enough?
Oh tell me baby
Does he run it deep enough?
Oh tell me, tell me
Does he run it deep enough?
Does he run it deep enough for you?
Does he run it deep enough for you?
We hit a couch
The place was packed with sweaty palms,
Sweaty thongs and sweaty backs
My mouth was dry, my brain co ?
The groove was right
So I decided to ignite ?
Your eyes met mine
Your skirt began to rise
And so did i
But you know that I took that prize
In the middle of the club
In the middle of the club
In middle of the club now tell me
Does he run it deep enough to take you there?
Does he run it deep enough?
Oh tell me baby
Does he run it deep enough?
Tell me baby
What did I do
What did I say
That gave you away
Tell me what did I do
What did I say
That sent you away from me
C'mon c'mon
Uh uh uh
Deep enough for you
Wooh
Does he run it deep enough to take you there?
Does he run it deep enough?
Oh tell me baby
Does he run it deep enough?
Oh tell me, tell me
I'm just a jealous guy
I'm just a jealous guy c'mon
Does he run it deep enough? (no baby, deep enough for you)
Does he run it deep enough? (no baby, deep enough for you)
Does he run it deep enough?
I'm just a jealous guy
I'm just a jealous guy

| Like a Soldier | |
|
I just come down from the mountain
A happy man
Turned on the television
Should've chewed off my hand
I'm sick of all the false glory, in God we trust,
Show me one dollar bill that hasn't passed through the curse
And if you break I will
I will come back again
To destroy everything you stood for
I will go on
Like a soldier through the storms of love
And i, take you back
Take you away from here, my friend
And charge you again
We've just come down from the mountain
Where the breezes were blowing
But everything was growing
Like some tree in the bush (heehaa)
Still I gotta live my life here
With some pretty scary brethren (heehaa)
Now I'm a rebel on a mission and baby
To live and die by my smile
And if you break my will
I will come back again
To destroy everything you stood for
I will go on
Like a soldier through the storms of love
And I take you back
Take you away from here, my friend
And charge you up again
Charge you up again
Charge you up again
Let's go to ray's, not the pizza hut
Let's go to the pig, not the starbucks
Let's vote for nadar
What are we waiting for
I'm gonna live to be a 164
To crib then back to the studio
To write a song so good and make a midgit grow
From the northpole down to mexico
If you don't know the words
Fuck it, let's go
I will go on
Like a soldier through the storms of love
And I take you back
Take you away from here, my friend
And charge you up again
Charge you up again
Charge you up again

| People Like You | |
|
In a dream I had
You were standing all alone
With a dying world below
And a microphone
Singing hallelujah
I finally broke their mould
Whatever it's gonna take, hey look, keep it real
When I was alive and pissing in the mainstream
Open up your cage
Focus all your rage
The world needs people like you
In a dream I had
I was on the stage with queen,
Michael stipe and elton john,
Bono, springsteen
Singing hallelujah
Rock 'n roll is king (kiiiinnnggg)
Whatever it's gonna take, hey look, keep it real
When I was alive and pissing in the mainstream
Open up your cage
Focus all your rage
The world needs people like you
Whatever it's gonna take, hey look, keep it real
When I was alive and pissing in the mainstream
Open up your cage
Focus all your rage
The world needs people like you
The world needs people like you
People like you
Motherfuckers like you
People like you
In a dream I had
You were standing all alone
With a dying world below
Signing hallelujah
I finally broke their mould
Whatever it's gonna take, hey look, keep it real
When I was alive and pissing in the mainstream
Open up your cage
Focus all your rage
The world needs people like you
Whatever it's gonna take, hey look, keep it real (aahh)
When I was alive and pissing in the mainstream (aahh)
Open up your cage
Focus all your rage
The world needs people like you
The world needs people like you
People like you
Boilers (? ) like you
Lovers like you
In a dream I had
With a dying world below
Signing hallelujah

| Transmit Your Love | |
|
Bow, bow everybody body in the hotel
Bow, bow everybody in the motel don't
Knock if the door to my suite is closed you
Should of come to the show but you
Didn't, now you're wishin' that you had
Had to go to jimmy buffet with your dad
With live, it's game seven every single
Night you have to put it on the line to step
Inside
Transmit your love to me and silently
Make me whole again transmit your love
To me
Bow, bow put your ear to the door and
Bow, bow put your face to the floor and
Through the crack, see the people kickin it
Inside and leavin it all behind in the name
Of love, we raise the roof in the name of
Love, do what we came to do in a town
Tonight where the streets have no name
And everybody feels the same the outside
World is a goddamn shame
Transmit your love to me and silently
Make me whole again transmit your love

Come on! tell your leaders love is in town
To turn this whole thing upside down we
Can't take it anymore
Transmit your love to me silently make
Me whole again transmit your love to me
(welcome to my world of love welcome to
My space above this sacred love welcome
To my space of bliss drive me to the heart
Of this sacred love sacred love)

| Forever May Not Be Long Enough | |
|
Forever may not be long enough for my love
I have a will but I'm lost inside your time
If you could, would you come with me to the other side?
Forever may not be long enough
Forever may not be long enough
Forever may not be long enough for this love
Forever
Forever
Forever
This world is never enough, and I'm not givin it up
My faith in love is like blood, I'd spill it freely for some
My faith in love is like blood, it flows in everyone
Dont stop to look at the clock, forever wont be long enough
Forever may not be long enough for you to know
Just how far I'd travel, just how for I would go
Open your heart and everything will be alright
Open your heart, baby leave with me, don't be afraid
Forever!
This world is never enough, and I'm not givin it up
My faith in love is like blood, I'd spill it freely for some
My faith in love is like blood, it flows in everyone
Dont stop to look at the clock, forever wont be long enough
Forever may not be long enough
Forever may not be long enough
Forever may not be long enough
Forever may not be long enough

| Call Me a Fool | |
|
I can't believe I've finally found
The key, the door, the trip
It was all in my mind
Now I'm one with the fools of love
I can't believe I've finally found
The prisoner, the free men
We're all in my mind
Now I'm one with the fools of love
These fools of love are misunderstood
The history is with me here now
I can't believe my cone was shaken
I gave up the ghost
Of everything I was before
Now I'm one with the fools of love
The fools of love are misunderstood
The mystery is with me now
So call me a fool
Call me a fool
Call me a fool
I can't believe my dream is over
I woke up this morning with nothing but light in my eyes
Now I'm one with the fools of love
I can't believe the key, the door, the clouds
That blocked the sun
They were all in my mind
Now I'm one with the fools of love
And the fools of love are misunderstood
The history is with me here now
So call me a fool
Call me a fool
Call me a fool
(the fools of love are misunderstood, the mystery is with me here now)

| Flow | |

Gotta find a way to flow
In a host of things that grow
Where babies become old
And love is bought and sold
The mouth of God is wide
So let's just fall inside
And let the whole damned thing go, flow
Everybody's here
Mystery and beer
I have nothing to fear
Cuz I found a way to flow
In a host of things that grow
Where babies become old
And love is bought and sold
The mouth of God is wide
So let's just fall inside
And let every damned thing go
Flow
Flow
Flow
Everybody's here
The mystery is here
I have nothing to fear
Cuz ifound a way to flow
In a host of things that grow
These babies become old
And love is bought and sold
The mouth of God is wide
So I'll just fall inside
And let every damned thing go
Flow
Flow
Flow
Flow
Flow
Flow
Everywhere we go (flow)
Go inside (flow)
Go inside (flow)
Everywhere we go (flow)
I gotta find a way to flow
In a host of things that grow
Where babies become old
And love is bought and sold
And the mouth of God is wide

Everywhere we go (flow)
Go inside (flow)

| The Ride | |
|
In the east they can meditate
They can recreate the sound of all and bring us home
I think I'll go there some day
Maybe for a holiday
Maybe just light a candle, take a seat for the ride
And you don't need no money to fly, to truly fly away (recreate the sound of
All)
And you don't need no car to truly ride, truly ride away (recreate the sound of
All)
In the west we think we're the best
We've shown the whole wide world that money is all we care for
Someday the scientists will see there's no such thing as gravity
They'll all just light a candle, take a seat for the ride
And you don't need no money to fly, to truly fly away (recreate the sound of
All)
And you don't need no car to truly ride, truly ride away (recreate the sound of
All)
As you ascend in silence, all doubt behind you
You reach the summit my friend and find your destiny
And you don't need no money to fly, to truly fly away (recreate the sound of
All)
And you don't need no car to truly ride, truly ride away (recreate the sound of
All)
And you don't need no money to fly, to truly fly away (recreate the sound of
All)
And you don't need no car to truly ride, truly ride away (recreate the sound of
All)
To truly ride away

| Nobody Knows | |

I was on a street with a common name i
Prayed for love yeah I even begged I had
A vision of you that carried me through
I was on a street with a common name i
Prayed for love yeah I even begged I had
A vision of you that carried me through
And nobody really knows what I would do
For you nobody really knows how much i
Love you nobody really knows, nobody
Knows nobody knows, nobody knows
I cleared my mind and I turned around
Grateful to the one who had laid me down
I was silent in love pourin down from
Above
Like so much rain it fell and pierced my
Brains the trees all alive with their colors
Like the dreams of man I had a vision of
You that carried me through
And nobody really knows what I would do
For you now nobody really knows how
Much I love you baby nobody really
Knows, nobody knows nobody knows,
Nobody knows

| Ok? | |

I am not ok with this tv in my face and liar
After liar with nothin' bout nothin' higher
I am on the outside peerin' in to your
World and all the boys and girls are singin'
Save me, save me from the one who only
Rapes me
Take away my tv don't want your fuckin'
Recipe it's all decay decay decay not
Today today today take away my tv don't
Want your fuckin' therapy it's all decay
Decay decay not today, not today
It's our world and I'm on fire with anger
And desire not the kind that they feed to
Me with their emptiness and greed greed
Greed
I don't give a fuck what you say about me
Everything you are is just a tool to me so
Just set up the mic and let me do my thing
In the consciousness of each and every
Sentient being rainin' down like a
Thunderstorm into your mind maybe not
The first, the second, or even the third
Time but eventually, you won't be able to
Put me down you'll be havin' me with
Breakfast in your coffee grounds

| Overcome | |
|
Overcome
Even now
The world is bleeding
But feeling just fine
All num in a castle
Where we're always free to choose
Never free enough to find
I wish something would break
Cuz we're running out of time
And I am overcome, yeah
I am overcome
Holy water in my lungs
I am overcome
These women in the street
Pulling out their hair
My master's in the yard
Giving light to the unaware
This plastic little place
Is just a step amongst the stairs
And I am overcome, yeah
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs, yeah
I am overcome
So drive me out, yeah
Out to that open field
Turn the ignition off
And spin around
Your help is here
But I'm parked in the open space
But locking the gates of love
I am overcome
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs, yeah
I am overcome, yeah
I am overcome, oh lord
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs
Holy water, holy water
I am overcome
Beautiful drowning
This beautiful drowning
This holy water
This holy water, is in my lungs
And I am overcome
I am overcome, yeah
Heh, i, heh, i, heh, I am overcome
I am overcome lord

| Hero of Love | |
|
I caught a glimpse of heaven last night to
The left of your body to the right of your
Mind lost in a riddle I was helpless to
Understand I went to a healer, the healer
Held my hand she said all of these things
Are written in the sand behind me
Oh, I dream about you every night I call
Your name the whole world thinks that i
Am insane here I come again, yeah
I caught a glimpse of heaven last night
Through a crack in the mirror that
Fractalized the light a saint is a sinner, a
Sinner is a saint it's all just the cloaks we
Hide behind a cartoon in the brain
And I say, all of these things are written in
The sand behind me
Oh, I dream about you every night I call
Your name the whole world thinks that i
Am insane here I come again oh, playin
The hero of love takin' you higher I wanna
Be your hero of love is it gettin' better? is
It gettin' brighter? I wanna be your hero
Your hero of love
I caught a glimpse of heaven last night
Was that a number 96 or was it a 69? oh, i
Was lost in a riddle I was helpless to
Understand I went to a lover this lover
Held my hand she said all of these things
Are just written in the sand behind me
