57 Octaves (below middle C)
From The Black Hole Sun
We have come
The two of us
Made into one
From the Black Hole Sun
We have run
to sing our song
Song of Love
57 Octaves
When we touch
It means so much
Tides, and Time Turn to mist
for a kiss
With our smiles of dust
a million miles dawn to dusk
The sky is clear
and we hear
We crash and burn
we return
from night to Day
not fade away

Shadow Land
Shadow Land you'll find me
where I pretend
I do not see
Its NOT you here
thats here with me
in.. Shadow Land
In Darkness
I lost you
to Evil ways
too powerful
in the light you are gone
but in Shadowland
my love lives on...
In shadowland
There's no black or white
night is day
and day is night
every place is just another place
every face is your face

Come Home Soon
You're so far away
Just since yesterday
You are gone
But it feels so long
Thought I heard your car
Pullin' up in the yard
But oh no, that's not you
Just not you, Darling,
Come Home Soon
Went out to buy some clothes
Then I went to the show
Its a beautiful day
Maybe a little cold
I been thinkin' it through
What the poets say is true
The Ocean is deep and the Sky is Blue
Oh so Blue, Darling,
Come Home Soon
You are a part of me
Any fool can see
When we're apart
My heart breaks in two
Helicopters over head
Your picture by the bed
I cant sleep without you
Without You, Oh Darling,
Oh Darling, Darling
Come Home Soon

Underground Brother
I got a Brother in the Underground
I got a Brother in the Underground
It just ain't the same
without him around
I got a Brother ...
Underground Brother drives an old RV
With Rock no Roll music from the 70's
Ain't got a worry ain't got a care
Underground Brother and his dog named "Bear"
Chorus
Underground Brother don't feel no pain
I don't blame him for leaving I'd have done the same
He was nobody's fool but
Everyone's clown
I got a brother
Chorus
Underground Brother when I see you again
We'll go fishing for salmon and chasing women
'Cause you just cant keep a good man down
I got a brother in the Underground
Chorus

Against The Current
Poseidon with a trident
Neptune with a net I really
cant remember
How we met
I dreamed that I was flying
But that was not my dream
We were swimming against the current
Swimming in the sea
And when my body tired
I was taken by the tide
Out beyond the waves
Where nothing can survive
So I come to surrender
I won't fight no more
I won most every battle
But lost the war
We were swimming against the current
Swimming in the sea
I tumble in the chaos
Of jagged reef
Jealous of the turtles
Floating easily where the current
Takes them but I can't hold my breath
Long enough to find a place to rest
We were swimming against the current
Swimming in the sea
Underneath the surface where the music has no sound
A symphony where no instruments are allowed.
But the song plays eternally
But I hear you singing and you hear me
So I wrote this song for you.
The Song of the Sea
We were swimming against the current
Swimming in the sea

Pussy Cat
All is quit in the house
Last lights all turned out
Curled up on the couch
You find me
A familiar form
to keep you warm
in a world so torn
and so strange
I'm your Pussy Cat
Pussy Cat
Put me in your lap
Scratch my back
Pussy Cat
up all night
sleep all day
dont do a single thing
that you say
I dont work
I just play
cost a pretty penny
to maintain
and cannot be trained though you
Tried oh you tried
Chorus
Pussy cat
Dont you know
Aint a dog with a bone
I dont bark
I dont bite
Just meow, meow all night
Chorus

Cocaine Blues
Early one morning I was making my rounds
I took a hit of cocaine and I shot my woman down
I shot her down 'cause she made me slow
I thought I was her daddy but
She had five more
I had the cocaine blues
I was high
I was low
I headed south to Mexico
My mouth was dry
My hands were wet
They stopped me at the border, said
"dont you take another step"
I had the cocaine blues
I was arrested and brought to trial
the prosecutor wore a great big smile
Judge looked at the jury
Jury looked at me
Guilty, Guilty
in the first degree
I had the cocaine blues
When they strap me down
in that chair
I tell you people I
will not care
I shot the bitch down
yah that a fact
But if I could
I surely would
want my cocaine back
I had the cocaine blues
