Simple Creed


Born with your back to the girl that
Spit you out on the riverbed
And with who? me?
You better back up fool
I bet you took a gun to school too
But now nobody's taking no candy
You just keep on living this tragedy
Laladadadadada
To each his own, but
I wait for you to take my hand
Cuz we need each other
We gotta love each other

Yeah

Born with your back to the girl that
Picked you up by your puppy scruff
And with who? me?
You better back up fool
And be grateful that the memory's
Always hiding from you
Now nobody's taking no bycycle
Maybe somebody should take your microphone
Laladadadadada
To each his own, but

I wait for you to understand
That we need each other
We gotta love each other (i wait for you to understand)
That we need each other (i wait for you to take my hand)

Someone should take your microphone
Someone should leave their life at home
Someone will take your bubblegum
Someone will take your life along
Always watching hallways
You're always walking hallways
Try again, lie again
I don't neglect
That won't make love
That won't make love
That won't show love
That don't know love
That want nobody

I wait for you to take my
I wait for you to take my hand
Yeah, cuz we need each other
You know, we gotta love each other
Cuz we need each other
We gotta love, gotta love each other (? our life of love ?)
We need each other
Yeah, we gotta love each other (i wait for you to understand)
You know, we need each other (i wait for you to take my hand)
We gotta love, gotta love each other (aaahhhh)

Deep Enough


We hit the room
Me and my crew
And it was cool until we bumped into you
Now it's been years but there you were
Like a mustang
Redlining every single gear with a
Man in pants
Like he was born
In '49
But lost his groove
Back when Jesus died
I wanna know, are those replacement hips?
Is that a Swatch watch?
Do you know what time it is?
Does he run it deep enough to take you there?
Does he run it deep enough?
Oh tell me baby
Does he run it deep enough?
Oh tell me, tell me
Does he run it deep enough?
Does he run it deep enough for you?
Does he run it deep enough for you?

We hit a couch
The place was packed with sweaty palms,
Sweaty thongs and sweaty backs
My mouth was dry, my brain co ?
The groove was right
So I decided to ignite ?
Your eyes met mine
Your skirt began to rise
And so did I
But you know that I took that prize
In the middle of the club
In the middle of the club
In middle of the club now tell me

Does he run it deep enough to take you there?
Does he run it deep enough?
Oh tell me baby
Does he run it deep enough?
Tell me baby

What did i do
What did i say
That gave you away
Tell me what did i do
What did i say
That sent you away from me

C'mon c'mon
Uh uh uh
Deep enough for you
Wooh

Does he run it deep enough to take you there?
Does he run it deep enough?
Oh tell me baby
Does he run it deep enough?
Oh tell me, tell me
I'm just a jealous guy
I'm just a jealous guy c'mon

Does he run it deep enough? (no baby, deep enough for you)
Does he run it deep enough? (no baby, deep enough for you)
Does he run it deep enough?

I'm just a jealous guy
I'm just a jealous guy

Like A Soldier


I just come down from the mountain
A happy man
Turned on the television
Should've chewed off my hand

I'm sick of all the false glory, in God we trust,
Show me one dollar bill that hasn't passed through the curse

And if you break i will
I will come back again
To destroy everything you stood for

I will go on
Like a soldier through the storms of love
And i, take you back
Take you away from here, my friend
And charge you again

We've just come down from the mountain
Where the breezes were blowing
But everything was growing
Like some tree in the bush (heehaa)
Still i gotta live my life here
With some pretty scary brethren (heehaa)
How i'm a rebel on a mission and baby
To live and die by my smile

And if you break my will
I will come back again
To destroy everything you stood for

I will go on
Like a soldier through the storms of love
And i take you back
Take you away from here, my friend
And charge you up again
Charge you up again
Charge you up again

Let's go to Ray's, not the pizza hut
Let's go to the pig, not the starbucks
Let's vote for nadar
What are we waiting for
I'm gonna live to be a 164
To crib then back to the studio
To write a song so good and make a midgit grow
From the northpole down to mexico
If you don't know the words
Fuck it, let's go

I will go on
Like a soldier through the storms of love
And i take you back
Take you away from here, my friend
And charge you up again
Charge you up again
Charge you up again

Call Me A Fool


I can't believe i've finally found
The key, the door, the trip
It was all in my mind
Now i'm one with the fools of love
I can't believe i've finally found
The prisoner, the free men
We're all in my mind
Now i'm one with the fools of love

These fools of love are misunderstood
The history is with me here now

I can't believe my cone was shaken
I gave up the ghost
Of everything i was before

Now i'm one with the fools of love

The fools of love are misunderstood
The mystery is with me now

So call me a fool
Call me a fool
Call me a fool

I can't believe my dream is over
I woke up this morning with nothing but light in my eyes
Now i'm one with the fools of love

I can't believe the key, the door, the clouds
That blocked the sun
They were all in my mind
Now i'm one with the fools of love

And the fools of love are misunderstood
The history is with me here now

So call me a fool
Call me a fool
Call me a fool
(The fools of love are misunderstood,
The mystery is with me here now)

The Ride


In the east they can meditate
They can recreate the sound of all and bring us home
I think I'll go there some day
Maybe for a holiday
Maybe just light a candle,
Take a seat for the ride

And you don't need no money to fly,
To truly fly away (recreate the sound of all)
And you don't need no car to truly ride,
Truly ride away (recreate the sound of all)

In the west we think we're the best
We've shown the whole wide world
That money is all we care for someday
The scientists will see there's no such thing as gravity
They'll all just light a candle,
Take a seat for the ride

And you don't need no money to fly,
To truly fly away (recreate the sound of all)
And you don't need no car to truly ride,
Truly ride away (recreate the sound of all)

As you ascend in silence,
All doubt behind you
You reach the summit my friend
And find your destiny

And you don't need no money to fly,
To truly fly away (recreate the sound of all)
And you don't need no car to truly ride,
Truly ride away (recreate the sound of all)
And you don't need no money to fly,
To truly fly away (recreate the sound of all)
And you don't need no car to truly ride,
Truly ride away (recreate the sound of all)
To truly ride away

I cleared my mind
And i turned around
Grateful to the one
Who had laid me down
I was silent in love
Pourin down from above

Like so much rain it fell
And pierced my brains
The trees all alive
With their colors
Like the dreams of man
I had a vision of you
That carried me through

And nobody really knows
What i would do for you now
Nobody really knows
How much i love you baby
Nobody really knows,

I am not ok with this tv in my face
And liar after liar with nothin' bout nothin' higher

I am on the outside peerin' in to your world
And all the boys and girls are singin' save me,
Save me from the one who only rapes me

Take away my tv
Don't want your fuckin' recipe
It's all decay decay decay
Not today today today
Take away my tv
Don't want your fuckin' therapy
It's all decay decay decay
Not today, not today

It's our world and i'm on fire with anger
And desire not the kind that they feed to me
With their emptiness and greed greed greed

I don't give a fuck
What you say about me
Everything you are is just a tool to me
So just set up the mic and let me do my thing
In the consciousness of each
And every sentient being rainin' down
Like a thunderstorm into your mind
Maybe not the first, the second,
Or even the third time but eventually,
You won't be able to put me down
You'll be havin' me with breakfast
In your coffee grounds

Even now
The world is bleeding
But feeling just fine
All alone in a castle
Where we're always free to choose
Never free enough to find
I wish something would break
Cuz we're running out of time

I am overcome
Holy water in my lungs

These women in the street
Pulling out their hair
My master's in the yard
Giving light to the unaware
This plastic little place
Is just a step amongst the stairs

And i am overcome, yeah
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs, yeah

So drive me out, yeah
Out to that open field
Turn the ignition off
And spin around
Your help is here
But i'm parked in the open space
But locking the gates of love

I am overcome

Holy water in my lungs, yeah

Hero Of Love


I caught a glimpse of heaven last night
To the left of your body to the right of your mind
Lost in a riddle i was helpless to understand
I went to a healer, the healer held my hand
She said all of these things are written in the sand behind me

Oh, i dream about you every night
I call your name the whole world
Thinks that i am insane here
I come again, yeah

I caught a glimpse of heaven last night
Through a crack in the mirror that fractalized the light
A saint is a sinner, a sinner is a saint it's
All just the cloaks we hide behind a cartoon in the brain

And i say, all of these things are written in the sand behind me

Oh, i dream about you every night
I call your name the whole world
Thinks that i am insane here
I come again oh, playin the hero of love
Takin' you higher
I wanna be your hero of love
Is it gettin' better?
Is it gettin' brighter?
I wanna be your hero
Your hero of love

I caught a glimpse of heaven last night
Was that a number 96 or was it a 69?
Oh, i was lost in a riddle
I was helpless to understand
I went to a lover this lover held my hand
She said all of these things are just written in the sand behind me
