Star Children War Children
When will we listen to our children?
Star Children War Children
What are we fighting for, children?
I see your face in my eyes
I look away and I hang my head and cry
Star Children War Children
When will you listen to your children?
Star Children War Children
Can’t you see that we're all children?
Children at play in this world
Making up a game and making up the rules as we go along
Dance little one
Put your whole body into it
Pour all of your soul and your heart in, too
Dance in the sunlight
Dance under starlight
The wonderful one light that shines inside of you
Standing by the deep blue sea
With the ships sailing by
Big birds flying overhead in a clear blue sky
You stand at the edge of the whole wide world
Follow that rainbow bridge of sighs anywhere at all
Anywhere your heart desires
Star Children War Children
When will we listen to our children?
Star Children War Children
What are we fighting for, children?
Our children
All children
Star children
All children

No Fault
06:13

Remember how we fought for the things we want?
Is all we got a Super Wall of China Mart?
I was caught in the parking lot
But it’s not my fault It’s nobody’s fault
A dream within a dream
A dream within a dream
I’m sorry Forgive me
Thank you I love you
You took a shot and I was sought
Is it all for naught?
Please tell me it’s not
It’s not your fault
It’s nobody’s fault
A dream within a dream
A dream within a dream
It’s not your fault
It’s nobody’s fault

Love Shy
05:32
|
|||
You’ve been an old romantic
You’ve been a Young idealist
You’ve been a little manic
You’ve had to be a realist
You’ve had a lot of lovers come and go
You’ve had to spend a lot of time alone
You wonder if You're better off on Your own
I understand why
I know You're love shy baby and so am I
You’ve studied with professors
You’ve struggled with the artists
You’ve ministered to lepers
And other non conformists
You’ve had a lot of lovers through Your door
You’ve spent a lot of time looking at Your phone
You wonder if You ever will be known
And so do I
I know You're love shy baby but you’ve still got to try
You’ve taken the poison
You’ve tasted the nectar
When given the choice
You choose the unexpected
You’ve had a lot of lovers and there will be more
Maybe one day You'll find the perfect score
The absolute stranger that you're looking for will catch your eye
For now you're just love shy baby
But don't be shy
I know You're love shy baby
'Cause so am I

Perfect fit
Maybe if i can just let go of it
We could be a perfect fit
Learn to take the bittersweet with the shit
We could be a perfect fit
Maybe if I could just change a little bit
We could be a perfect fit
Before we even start it seems so sad to quit
We could be a perfect fit
So sad
Too bad
So sad
Yeah
Perfect fit
Welcome to my planet
Don't get off of it
We could be a perfect fit
Everything's constructed for your benefit
We could be a perfect fit
Don't mind me - I aint no hypocrite
We could be a perfect fit
Everything I say - I mean the opposite
We could be a perfect fit
So sad
Too bad
So sad
Yeah
Perfect fit
There is no hero - there is no culprit
We could be a perfect fit
There is no right or wrong
Nothing gained without a little bit of risk
A perfect fit
Blow a kiss across the desert and I'll feel it
We could be a perfect fit
For your consideration - I submit
We could be a perfect fit
So sad
Too bad
So sad
Yeah

Sunburst Golden Border
05:21
|
|||
Where the rivers come together in the garden gone forever
In the stillness of the place where all the killers hide their faces
Calling all you sons & daughters
To the sunburst golden border
All machines are out of order
At the sunburst golden border
This is where we built the temple
As the ground begins to tremble
You can feel them dropping bombs
Setting off the car alarms
Calling all you sons & daughters
To the sunburst golden border
All machines are out of order
At the sunburst golden border
Sunburst Golden Border
Sunburst Golden Border
Sunburst Golden Border
Sunburst Golden Border
Hear the woman playing mando
See the man with builder's hands
See the desert die of thirst
Do whatever happens first
Begging for a cup of water
At the sunburst golden border
All machines are out of order
At the sunburst golden border
Sunburst Golden Border
Sunburst Golden Border
Sunburst Golden Border
Sunburst Golden Border

Piano Playing Fingers
08:19
|

Love has come and the time for killing is gone
Piano playing fingers are coming to diffuse the bomb
Lay your arms down on the ground
Piano playing fingers are coming to turn you on
Gentle hands hold the key to understand
Love has come & it's already been too long
Gentle hands hold the key to understand
Love has come & it's already been too long
It's already been too long
Mother earth never looked more absurd
Is it memory who lingers or the fear of what's to come?
Father time at eleven fifty nine
Got a five o'clock shadow hanging over everyone
Gentle hands hold the key to understand
Love has come & it's already been too long
Gentle hands hold the key to understand
Love has come & it's already been too long
It's already been too long
Judgment come and the judge & the jury are gone
Is the executioner playing to same old song?
I just can't wait
Tomorrow might be too late
The day after tomorrow I still want to have my fun
Gentle hands hold the key to understand
Love has come & it's already been too long
Gentle hands hold the key to understand
Love has come & it's already been too long
It's already been too long
Love has come and the time for killing is gone
Piano playing fingers are coming to diffuse the bomb
Lay your arms down on the ground
Piano playing fingers are coming to turn you on
Gentle hands hold the key to understand
Love has come & it's already been too long
Gentle hands hold the key to understand
Love has come & it's already been too long
It's already been too long

I wanna live long
I wanna belong
I wanna be strong for you
Oh uh oh don't wanna be wrong for you
I wanna belong
I wanna be strong
Don't wanna be wrong for you
Oh uh oh i wanna live long for you
Long for you
Oh how I long for you
I wanna be strong
Don't wanna be wrong
I wanna live long for you
Oh uh oh I wanna belong to you
I made up a song
It didn't take long
I hope it's not wrong for you
Oh uh oh i hope it's not too long for you
Long for you
Oh how I long for you

Helium
05:41
|

I was listening to my favorite show
Learning about my history
Watching silent ripples flow
In their expanding mystery
You fill my head with helium
Now I'm floating through the ceiling
It's such a funny feeling
Healing
Lina de la Luna
You got me walking through the atmosphere
Bouncing up and down on the moon
In this world so full of wonder
You fill my head with helium
Now I'm floating through the ceiling
It's such a funny feeling
Healing
Now I'm hanging with my baby boy
It's never been so easy
This is how I experience joy
Watching Augie Doggie in Portugese
You fill my head with helium
Now I'm floating through the ceiling
It's such a funny feeling
You fill my heart with helium
Now I'm floating through the ceiling
It's such a funny feeling
Healing
