Air (Outcasts In Exile)
03:25

We are outcasts in exile
A people without a land
Nomads crazed by miles of roads
On a mission without a plan
Like a jumping gun in battle
A hot LZ outside Da Nang
Crossing the DMZ ditches
Forgot that the safety is on
We are wires around the perimeter
A fire in the hole
A Huey chopper taking off
Rising slow and flying low
Like a warm wind on a country road
Breezes through our hands
Dancing down the summer sun
After the show following the band
Like a pavement pounding jackhammer
A steamroller on cloud nine
A detour sign men up ahead
In a work-zone they double the fine
And the breeze that we blew in on
A double dose at first seemed light
It seemed to be so reasonable
We knew it would treat us right
And it wove us through the air
And it warped us past the moon
On wings stretched thin with silken threads
Spun by ten thousand hands on ten thousand looms.

Did It Really Have To Come To This?
And Mother Earth is getting stronger
She might survive a little longer
If she can simply get us humans out the way
It's a question of survival
And every germ's a rival
When it comes to who gets to eat another day
The Earth is run by fungus
And it's living right here among us
We're just matter taking space until decay
And Mother Earth is getting stronger
She might survive a little longer
If she can simply get us humans out the way
Did it really have to come to this?
When we can’t even meet to kiss
And I curl up sleeping alone upon the floor
And did it really have to come to that?
All my friends are wearing top-hats
And we're howling and cursing like what for
And the time is getting nearer
And soon it will be clearer
And this plague just keeps going from door to door
And the government got behind
They were skimming all the time
And now we duck for cover as they gore
And people are scared to go out
So they open windows and they shout
And summer’s not much fun anymore
This virus just won't quit
It doesn’t give a shit
And it grows by doubling every hour
And the trees are lightly laughing
While pink dolphins are a splashing
They've taken the canals of Venice back so they say
And Mother Earth is getting stronger
She might survive a little longer
If she can simply get us humans out the way
It's a question of survival
And every germ's a rival
When it comes to who gets to eat another day
The Earth is run by fungus
And they're living right here among us
We're just matter taking space until decay
And Mother Earth is getting stronger
She might survive a little longer
If she can simply get us humans out the way

Dowse
You’d better hope that you’re getting back
Running out the door and you never know
You’d better hope that you’ve left some slack
Just so you know,
It’s not how you go,
But how you flow
I flowed on diamond cowboy spurs
through fields of fern and dew
I flowed through walls of cannonballs
and paths unknown but to few
I flowed into a silver dream awake
and laughing too
I flowed up to the fountain head
and kept on walking through
Flow like ghosts on pirate ships
and sunken treasure gleam
Flow like liquid sunlight beams
reflected off of leaves of silver-green
Flow through foggy waste of war
dodging bullets aimed at hearts
Flow continuously open-eyed with
faith in a crystalline start
Flow through rivers ripe
with rain that swell and course along the plain
Flow through ghetto lots
at dusk through Harlem jazz and old car rust
Flow through Ching and Ming
and Shang through Northern Wei both Ying and Yang
Flow through arroyos of smoke and dust
through fields of musket balls that rust and wave spiderwebs away if you must.
Pound your foot and
Preach to the sky.
Raise one finger,
Point and fly.
Stomp through the fields
Of Dylan Thomas.
Dig in your war chest,
Make a promise.
Light the night with
Starry dew.
Scat a song at saxophone
Speed:
Flukely flow and roll them bones,
Do you think its chance we’re all here together?
Loosely slipped not tightly lipped
Spring is a newborn bird's first feather.
