Fear Of A Blank Planet



Sunlight coming through the haze
No gaps in the blind
To let it inside
The bed is unmade
Some music still plays

TV, yeah it's always on
The flicker of the screen
A movie actress screams
I'm basking in the shit flowing out of it

I'm stoned in the mall again
Terminally bored
Shuffling round the stores
And shoplifting is getting so last year's thing

X-box is a god to me
A finger on the switch
My mother is a bitch
My father gave up ever trying to talk to me

Don't try engaging me
The vaguest of shrugs
The prescription drugs
You'll never find
A person inside

My face is mogadon
Curiosity
Has given up on me
I'm tuning out desires
The pills are on the rise

How can I be sure I'm here?
The pills that I've been taking confuse me
I need to know that someone sees that
There's nothing left I simply am not here

I'm through with pornography
The acting is lame
The action is tame
Explicitly dull

arousal annulled

Your mouth should be boarded up
Talking all day
With nothing to say
Your shallow proclamations
All misinformation

My friend says he wants to die
He's in a band
They sound like Pearl Jam
The clothes are all black
The music is crap

In school I don't concentrate
And sex is kinda fun
But just another one
Of all the empty ways
Of using up a day

How can I be sure I'm here?
The pills that I've been taking confuse me
I need to know that someone sees that
There's nothing left I simply am not here

Bipolar disorder
Can't deal with the boredom

You don't try to be liked
You don't mind
You feel no sun
You steal a gun
To kill time

You're somewhere, you're nowhere
You don't care
You catch the breeze
You still the leaves
So now where?

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,..... Materialize

Cosma Shiva! Galaxina!
In any case, we are in space
In any case, we are in space
In any case, we are in space
In any case, we are in space

Cosma Shiva! Galaxina!
Cosma Shiva! Galaxina!

Wir sind die menschen auf der erde
Alle voll drauf auf total-beschwerde
Sie sind böse, sie sind dumm...
Wissen aber nicht warum

Liebster Gott in space,
Wen wir auf treffen face to face
Dann gibts nichts mehr zu jammern

Cosma Shiva! Galaxina!
Cosma Shiva! Galaxina!

In any case, we are in space
In any case, we are in space
In any case, we are in space
In any case, we are in space

Wir sind dir menschen auf der erde
Alle voll drauf total-beschwerde
Alles sind die bösen, dumm
Wissen aber nicht warum

Liebster Gott in space,
wenn wir auf treffen face to face
Dann gibts nichts mehr zu jammern

Cosma Shiva! Galaxina!
Cosma Shiva! Galaxina!
Cosma Shiva
Cosma Shiva
Cosma Shiva

And my little baby I tell you.. God is your father.

Lies



bound at every limb by my shackles of fear
sealed with lies through so many tears
lost from within, pursuing the end
i fight for the chance to be lied to again

you will never be strong enough
you will never be good enough
you were never conceived in love
you will not rise above

they'll never see
i'll never be
i'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger
burning deep inside of me

but through my tears breaks a blinding light
birthing a dawn to this endless night
arms outstretched, awaiting me
an open embrace upon a bleeding tree

rest in me and i'll comfort you
i have lived and i died for you
abide in me and i vow to you
i will never forsake you

they'll never see
i'll never be
i'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger
burning deep inside of me

they'll never see
i'll never be
i'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger
burning deep inside of me

If I Was Your Mother

If I was your mother
Would you let me hold your hand
Would you say you were my baby
Would you always be my friend

If I was your mother
Could I teach you what's right
Could I tell you stories
Maybe tuck you in
And kiss you sweet goodnight

Tell me what I got to do
To make my life mean more to you
I could get so close it's true
If I was your mother

Would you always believe me
'Cause I'd wake up in the middle
Of the night
Just to see if you need me

Tell me there's no mother
To who you're telling your secrets
And would you tell me
'Bout all the boys you been
Bringing home to meet me

Tell me what I got to do
To make my life mean more to you
I could get so close it's true
If I was yours

Mother, mother
If I was your
Mother, mother

When love is blood
You're never on trial
Love don't get deeper
Than a mother & child
Oh baby, I got to get that
Close to you

Tell me what I got to do
To make my life mean more to you
I could get so close it's true
If I was yours

Tell me what I got to be
To make you a part of me
There's no one else you'd ever need
If I was your

Mother, mother
If I was your mother
Mother, mother

Mother, mother
If I was your mother
Mother, mother

Suite Judy Blue Eyes



It's getting to the point
Where I'm no fun anymore
I am sorry
Sometimes it hurts so badly
I must cry out loud
I am lonely
I am yours, you are mine
You are what you are
And you make it hard.

Remember what we've said and done and felt
About each other
Oh babe, have mercy
Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now
I am not dreaming.
I am yours, you are mine
You are what you are
You make it hard.

Tearing yourself away from me now
You are free and I am crying
This does not mean I don't love you
I do, that's forever,
Yes and for always
I am yours, you are mine
You are what you are
You make it hard.

Something inside is telling me that
I've got your secret.
Are you still listening?
Fear is the lock, and laughter the key to your heart
And I love you.
I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard
And you make it hard (x 3).

Friday evening, Sunday in the afternoon
What have you got to lose?
Tuesday morning, please be gone I'm tired of you.
What have you got to lose?
Can I tell it like it is? (Help me I'm suffering)
Listen to me baby.
It's my heart that's a suffering (Help me I'm dying)
It's a dying, that's what I have to lose

I've got an answer
I'm going to fly away
What have I got to lose?
Will you come see me Thursdays and Saturdays?
What have you got to lose?

Chestnut brown canary
Ruby throated sparrow
Sing the song don't be long
Thrill me to the marrow.

Voices of the angels, ring around the moonlight
Asking me, said she's so free
How can you catch the sparrow?

Lacy, lilting, lyric, losing love, lamenting
Change my life, make it right
Be my lady.

Que linda me la traiga Cuba,
La reina de la Mar Caribe.
Cielo sol no tiene sangre allí,
y que triste que no puedo vaya,
Oh va, oh va, va.

Translation:
(Oh, what beauty Cuba brings me,
The queen of the Caribbean Sea,
Sunny sky has no blood over there,
And how sad that I cannot go,
Oh go, oh go, go.)


Suite Judy Blue Eyes - Crosby, Stills, & Nash
