Ecstasy - Rusted Root

Take away your paper and pen

Stacks of money and your foolish grin and go

Take away your greedy way

Take away the games to play and go

See the woman standing at the door

World gone by, again and again

See the blisters growing on her feet

World pushed on, pushed on

World gone by…

Take away your companies,

Take away your societies and go

Get me off this backwards ride

Take away your ficticious book of facts

See the woman standing at the door

World gone by, again and again

See the blisters growing on her feet

World pushed on, pushed on

World gone by…

I wouldn’t want to be

Living in a world of ecstasy

With you

Wasted arms, wasted legs

Wrapped around this machine

Military machine

Military machine

Military machine…

I wouldn’t want to be

Living in a world of ecstasy

With you

Send Me On My Way

I would like to reach out my hand

I may see you, I may tell you to run

Pick me up with a golden hand

I would like to hold my little hand

How we will run, we will…

How we will crawl, we will…

Send me on my way

Cruel Sun

See the bloody faces

Lifted to the sky

Do you want to run

To a future left behind?

I remember asking why

There lies agession

Seperation where there should be love

Power plays while the people die

Let it rain and protect us from this cruel sun

Open up your eyes

And feel it burn

Open up your eyes

And let the child learn

Why

Does war kill only the small?

And why

Does war kill only the small?

Empty where no one (?)

Yes, no one

Where no, no, no…

Cat Turned Blue

What is that you said?

You gotta whistle in the wind

Blow down, blow down

Fear for me and I will fear for you

Fear

Fear whistles in the windows I blow down

Been shakin' the law, daddy long-leg-a

Breakin' the dawn

Baby, when the cat turned blue

Are you breakin' the dawn, daddy long-leg-a?

Daddy-li-dawn

Are you breakin' the dawn, daddy long-leg-a?

Law?

Beautiful People

Come and hear the funeral marching

Maybe this is your suicide

Maybe this is more pure

Pure than simple

Maybe this is all I have for home

Why have all beautiful people

Brushed you on down?

And brushed you on down?

I saw the shame inside your addiction,

Waitin' to see what was passed on by.

I saw the shame and wondered why

I should live, and die.

Leave a note and tell me,

Leave a note and tell me why.

Martyr

Hey mister can you help me sir, I plea, plea for your sympathy

Words came bounding astern again

Your horizons, well, they crowd up my chin

I start to drown in your vision

I look through your windows as they flew through the air

I was there swelling in your pool of aggression

How long should we play the martyr?

Hey mister come down and see, see your misery

Words came bounding astern again

Your horizons they shed my skin

Open wide to my spirit

I look through your windows as they flew through the air

All I could find was a river in pieces

How long should we play the martyr?

Rain

Build a barn Joe

Raise a barn yourself

Rain gonna fall

Rain gonna fall

Rain, rain, gonna down on your head

Rain, rain, gonna fall

Build a barn Joe and you can

Raise the barn yourself

If you kick the sun down

Food & Creative Love

Big kindly hand struck me down

Didn’t look away and lord I hit the ground

Blood started to flow

Blood started to flow

Big hand, well here it comes again

I wanna heal, yeah

Leap from the wounds of your fear

Big hand gave blow,

I stumbled down

I stumbled down, as you are

Blood started to flow

Blood started to flow

Big hand, here it comes again

I wanna heal, yeah

All I want is food and creative love
