Birds are dropping from the sky
In the garden where I hide
The men hunt the buffalo
Cause the stars tell them so
Woman carries her child
Horses fall in the wild
Electric fingertips
Make the earth and sky kiss
Nature swallows the bride
And the sun doesn’t rise
Groom knows it could be better
As the planets crash together
Scorpio’s falling
A new night is calling

Ax to the head
You make me feel like I’m dead
As the colors swirl into red
I lay myself down in bed
And you know exactly what you’re doing
Ax to the head
It makes me feel like I’m wed
And I remember the things you said
As I lay myself down in bed
And it knows exactly what it’s doing
Ax to the head
My brain is cut in two
So no matter what I do
Every sin feels like new
I don’t know exactly what I’m doing
I’ll never know exactly what I’m doing

I’m a liability
In uncharted territory
God only knows the damage I’d do
God only knows what I’ve been through
Will she marry an archangel
Will she drown in a bathtub
Will she ruin your garden of delights
Or discover a new star in the sky at night
Why get angry, it’s a waste of energy
Why get mad, when karma will take care of it
I’m a liability
In uncharted territory
I wish I knew the damage I’ve done
Until that day, I’ll rise like the sun

I, I’m feeling uninvited
And I’m feeling quite disgraceful
But I have a secret
And I never plan on telling it

I never once felt special
And I never really belonged
But I try not to let it bother me
I never learned what’s right and wrong

I, I’m feeling disembodied
And I don’t know where my head is at
But I know it’s out there somewhere
And I think it’s my turn up to bat

You laid yourself a path
Of the best-laid plans
Of a future set in stone
But she interferes
When she sheds her tears
And she spends all her time
Daydreaming
If she could she would
Run your train right off the tracks
You’d be forced to shed your skin
Never looking back
She worships the moon
With a ***** silver spoon
It won’t answer her prayers
So with her flowing blonde hair
She spends her time
Daydreaming
But now she builds her shrine to you
She does all that she can do
Are you prepared to take her on
And spend your days in the sun
Daydreaming

The leaves are swirling
In a whirlwind
Soon it will be Halloween
It was a rough summer
You never got to win
So before winter
You gotta get the last sting in
You’re so busy
It almost makes me dizzy
You’re so terrible
It almost makes me hysterical
Baby bee
You’re such a baby bee
Not quite a mystery
But it’s almost Halloween
It’s been a rough summer
You never got to win
So before winter
You gotta get the last sting in

I believe
In a benevolent universe
But the people in it are the opposite
And you can’t imagine a universe
Without human beings
So there are two opposing forces
That I face when I walk out my front door
And enter the reality of the world-
One’s full of harmony
One’s a shattered society
I must have entered the earth
In a troubled womb
