Track Lyrics
Tones of Home Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What do you think they would say
If I stood up, and I walked away?
Nobody here really understands me
And so I wave goodbye, I'm fine
I'm fine
[Chorus]
Tones of home
Said, you don't like the way I'm living (You don't like me)
Tones of home, tones of home
(And so I wave) goodbye
I'm flyin'
And I'm flyin' home
Home, home, home
[Verse 2]
And I always thought this would be
See, the land of milk and honey
Oh, but I come to find out that it's all hate and money
And there's a canopy of greed holdin' me down
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
See, I'm so high to you, but don't fade away, oh yeah
I said, you're on your own
Your mom and daddy said
That you sister said
And you brother's saying (what'd your brother say?)
Is saying everybody (everybody)
Is saying everybody
Is saying I-I-I-I gotta go!
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
All my friends patronize me
They say "Yo, hey, boy! Have you found what you're looking for?"
It seems they don't really know me
'Cause it's here
An' it's what they can't see
[Chorus]
Sleepyhouse Lyrics
[Verse 1]
No time frame for what I need to do today
Here at the yellow house
I think that I'm gonna play
With some free livin' lads downstreet, a ways away
Hey
[Verse 2]
As I feel the moon rise
The time that I feel is the right time
Here in our sleepy house
As I wipe eye bugs away
The candle flickers at me to say
And in my head I sometimes pray
[Chorus]
Are you feeling fine?
As I was, as a little child
And I'm feeling better when I'm high
With a red light shining on
Shining on a little unity
[Verse 3]
See, the mistakes that I've made
No they don't seem to bother me
And I sure as hell don't feel like I've missed any kind of train
If I could only show you how I feel
Then you wouldn't bother me
Then maybe then you'll see
Maybe then you'll see see why we don't mind being
[Chorus]
Blind
As I was, as a little child
And I'm feeling better when I'm high
With a red light shining on
Shining on a little unity
[Outro]
I'll probably be
I'll probably be
I'll probably be
I'll probably be... there
In a little while
Holyman Lyrics
[Intro]
I was born on the banks of a hot muddy river
The child of one stupid steamy night
Born to roam beneath the sun
What do you think of me?
I'm better left alone
(Yeah, I said child)
[Verse 1]
Said I met a Holyman who that said that he knew the way
And he'd like to show me so my life won't go astray
Take my hand, child
Now, little boy, don't you be afraid
I'll take your soul and walk on water
[Chorus]
Holyman, you don't understand
The cuts on me, they run much deeper
Holyman, you righteous man
I've been shown the way a thousand times
Not one a keeper
[Verse 2]
Older man, he said "I'll tell you boy
You've planted rotten seeds
And in a land of happiness
They'll grow us evil trees"
Guided minds, and eyes that will never see
Holyman, I'll tell you
Just what it is that I believe
[Chorus]
Holyman, you don't understand
The cuts on me, they run much deeper
Holyman, you righteous man
I've been shown the way
And not one a keeper
Oh, no
I gotta look away
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Holyman, I said, I tell you, boy
You gotta believe in what you see
'Cause its you that corrupt us, man
And deep throat philosophy
I don't need your spells
Or the little games you try to pull on me
Come to think of it, I don't need your religion
[Bridge]
Gotta get away
(I wish you would understand)
Everybody prays
Let me find my own way
[Chorus]
Holyman, you don't understand
The cuts on me, they run much deeper
Holyman, you righteous man
I've been shown the way
And not one a keeper
Not one a keeper
Not one a keeper
Not one a keeper
Drive Lyrics
[Verse 1]
His feet are dirty
And his face, his face is long
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, and while he's peeking out through his hair
He hides the pain
Till that Lennon song comes along
He'll turn it off and say
[Chorus]
"Can you drive?"
Drive
Can you drive?
Drive
Can you drive?
[Bridge]
Jimi, we need to borrow this for a minute
'Cause we need to escape
[Verse 2]
Now, there's so many things that he's gonna do
In five lifetimes, hell, I couldn't do 'em all
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, and while he's rolling his own smokes
He says to me he's buying a new ride today
A classic deal the boss will give
He said the same thing two weeks ago
[Verse 3]
You've seen that sweaty jet rag feeling come over him
And I've seen that boy nod
And go into a dream, a time or two
[Pre-Chorus]
And on his way out, his glazed stare
Will make you stop and wonder
Hey William, is that the last time I'm gonna look at you?
Yeah
(But the next day, a phone will ring
And it'll be him)
[Chorus]
Can you drive?
Drive (Can you drive?)
Can you drive
Can you drive?
[Bridge]
Jimi, what would you say?
What would you do?
Oh, should I pray?
Or do you think that this blind mind
Would listen to me, anyway?
Time Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Said, all these people, they won't leave me alone
And we need, a little time to ourselves
And half these reasons why
I'm sketchin' all the time
The result of this life in Hell
[Pre-Chorus]
But, oh well, I think it's time
[Verse 2]
My faith's falling like the leaves from a tree
Pockets both take it away
Sun warms my body as I'm sittin' on a swing, watching
Columbus clouds bring in the rain
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh well, I think it's time
Well, it's time to go
[Chorus]
My mind is playing tricks on me all the time
To let you know that I am real
And all the worries you build up inside your soul, oh
The ones that make your world stand still
Mean you can feel that it's time to go
[Bridge]
Are you fed up, Are you fed up with me?
You think you could do better?
Five fed up faces with the itch to kill the king
A blood red sunrise, man, and a breath to air that's clean
I drink from the faucet, from the porch, I take a pee
I look at you through the bushes where you can't see me
[Chorus]
I laugh and slip into another state of mind
To let you know that I am real
And all the worries you build up inside your soul
The ones that make your world stand still
Mean you can feel, and it's time to go, yeah
Well, it's time to go
[Outro]
Clear believing that I'm gone, that's right
Gonna burn it, gonna burn it
Gonna burn it all down
