Now come the hell or high water I'm a take my rest How long is the river Where does it end? Alone Pleasure of the guest How long does the river run Where does it end? Weight on the levee Weight on the dam Don't break down Drink to drown your sorrow Sorrow learns to swim Don't expect to sink too long Your card is drawn again The Phoenecian sailor Pearls that were his eyes Three staves and a holy wheel Rivers don't run dry Weight on the levee Weight on the dam Don't break down Don't break down Somewhere across the hungry land Down old Zion's trail Well the river is sleeping How long no one can tell Alone Alone Alone By the river's edge Calling me to the water Mysteries revealed Weight on the levee Weight on the dam Don't break down Don't break down

I had the feeling I was carrying my head in my hands Feet like a mile away and I could barely stand Seemed I'd lost my way once again Green absinthe at the liquor store to ask for direction, alright Direction... A little bit of... Direction... Gotta get some Hours later west side at the tattoo shop Somethin' 'bout a bottle of pills and black tooth shots The soothsayer said a prayer and sent me out on my way Seeds in hand I made the land with a swagger off into the gray, alright Direction... A little bit of... Direction Gotta get some I had the feeling I was underneath the light of the sun Sowing seeds across the Great Union Now they grow, now we know somehow we've freed our minds And we enjoy the fruit of these, an alchemy divine, alright Direction... A little bit of... Direction... Gotta get some Be my mama, save my soul Fill my lungs with rock and roll Smoke, my mama, smoke the bowl Seed of decades rock and roll Seed of decades Seed of decades

My illusion - dashed to pieces My collision - damn the son I counted all my blessings And the damage of that sum Your life - numbed and drunken My strength - a voice inside Ain't it funny how things worked out My life began the day you died Poor Robert Henry Poor Robert Henry drinkin' broke apart our lives Lost you from last year And more Poor Robert Henry drinkin' blotted out your mind Blotted out your mind Your sky - always falling Like you from barroom chairs I didn't want to hate But your abuse was hard to bear Your life - numbed and drunken My strength - a voice inside Ain't it funny how things worked out My life began the day you died Poor Robert Henry Poor Robert Henry drinkin' broke apart our lives Lost you from last year And more Poor Robert Henry drinkin' blotted out your mind Blotted out your mind Drinkin' blotted out your mind Blotted out your mind I'll go on livin' in all my desperation Now you're gone Desperation Poor Robert Henry

Devil in the details... The devil in the details The source of shallow graves and ancient oil Humming inside the engine Fragments of the things we'll never know Devil in the details... We've wasted one too many weekends Whatever happened to our lives Where have all the prophets/profits gone to Fortunetellers always have to die Now fuckin' die! Devil in the details... We brought the substance To ease uneasy minds Waste not, you want some more Before too short a time And I will be there inside of you We'll wash ourselves divine Cause in the end we realize we know not We know not what we find Don't know where to stop begin Fill the tanks with the fuel of my sin We've got to keep the engine humming Don't know where to stop begin Fill the tanks with the fuel of my sin We've got to keep the machine moving Keep that machine moving
Part 2 starts from track 4's lyrics: "We brought the substance..."

Out of low Earth gravity We made our way to the tranquil sea To strike our camps Beside the ruined spires Kicking dust from a weightless bed Extracting frozen polar caps Distant, distant The life we left behind And we ignite every night When we ascend the spire To get higher Sweet sunshine on celestial vines Come and solarize this sky Novel eyes Looking back on Earth And we ignite every night When we ascend the spire To get higher From here it looks so different From here it looks alright From here it looks so different From here it looks so fine And we ignite every night When we ascend the spire To get higher From here it looks so different From here it looks alright From here it looks so different From here it looks so fine

One more time One more time we cross the lines And celebrate this crazy life Past is dying soon has come Electric now what we've begun And one more time we may shine Like coronas of blazing light Raising hell and rock all night One more time we may shine alright Alright One more time to blow these lines And celebrate this crazy life Past is dying soon has come Electric now what we've begun And one more time we may shine Like coronas of blazing light Raising hell and rock all night One more time we may shine alright Alright One more time And one more time we may shine Like coronas of blazing light Raising hell and rock all night One more time we may shine alright Alright
Wake up in the morning See the sunrise from my bed Shake dreams from my hair Rub my eyes and rise again Stumble to the bathroom See the face of my old friend Bathe myself for a new day A new day And every year I make it Is a triumph of my own And every chance I've taken I found the strength to hold And when my soul is naked I know I'm not alone And every day I waken I roll the stone Step out on the porch Got the papers in my hand Roll the stone into a better place A better place Drift myself above the treeline See the distant mountain stand Say my prayers again Say my prayers again And every year I make it Is a triumph of my own And every chance I've taken I found the strength to hold And when my soul is naked I know I'm not alone And every day I waken... And every year I make it Is a triumph of my own And every chance I've taken I found the strength to hold And when my soul is naked I know I'm not alone And every day I waken I roll the stone

I spent time on the mountain Brought blood up from the hills Wrought iron and stone made company of me Taught me the way of the lone Ten thousand years of exile From the breast of my motherland Please Mosigh, send spacecraft again To carry us back to our home Great sun bleed your breath on my neck While I strangle the vagrant old soul I reject Embracing my steps toward the valley's stream A place for your landing Erected in symbols that cry to the sky Stars mark the pathway Red sand, cold burn On forgotten Martian Earth Old fathers, come save me Your ships sailed here before Pyramids and temples call to your angels And long for your return This red colony left here Silenced from mother tongue Don't leave us like you did Egypt Craving escape from this world Red colony Red colony Red colony Red colony Red colony...

Yeah I've been with you before... Shall we call it our private treasure in the rumor den All together are songs of pleasure and indulgences And we break it down like this Like this Like this Like this We go to the bar get in my car Where we've never been And despite it all we'll connect ours In the rumor den Hey And we break it down like this Like this Like this Like this In the rumor den Yeah I've been with you before And I'll be with you again I said Yeah I've been with you before And I'll be with you again In the rumor den I will be with you again

Black light and break dust mingle in the air Far out on a country road ships are everywhere Now I scream wicked dream How is this occasion? I am given to the sky tonight... VISITATION Caged up then tied down to the silver table I would move if I could, if only I was able For what need you take my seed I'm violated Taken off a country road tonight... VISITATION Alright Take me away I have seen them telepathic nighttime visions I have seen them telepathic nighttime visions Above the earth the atmosphere has gone to sleep tonight Awake in fields to find your soul revealed beneath the lights It's a visitation It's a visitation I have seen them telepathic nighttime visions I have seen them telepathic nighttime visions VISITATION

If you're not busy being born, you must be busy dying Standing up is hard to do when you live a life of lying If you're not being born, you must be busy dying Learn to stand up on your own, it's time you best start trying If you're not busy being born, you must be busy dying When the truth knocks at your door, your consequence is crying If you're not being born, you must be busy dying When the truth done got you down, then get on with your dying Dying Dying Dying Crippled sunshine dogleg blues and all dogs have their day Sing old tunes and wash these blues it's calm beneath these waves Mor important how we take our fate than what it is... How we live Busy Dying Busy Dying All this time I watch you die I let you down you waste my time ?????????????????? ?????????????????? Don't you wanna drink the wine you'll find it dying on the vine Tonight we put it on the line busy livin' busy dyin'

Come on take a ride with us on crystal ships we'll check out the system We'll ride our high to other sides and not deny we've got and addiction To these rhythms Stars are burning, Haley's screaming, drink some more cause we're just beginning To make the night and break through spaces we can always keep ourselves spinning Spinning You know you wanna take a ride Don't you wanna come along We're going to the other side I knew that you would come along I'm high all the time Satellites will light the night and show the way to steer through the vision Hold the wheel I'll watch the course that lights the way to burn what you need What you want Well I believe I can see the truth ahead explodes like a new star And we're reeling Towards a supernova tractor beams that pull us in get what we need What we want You know you wanna take a ride Don't you wanna come along We're going to the other side I knew that you would come along So you better hold on You better hold on So you better hold on Y'all come on alive for the ride medicine men track in the sand of the planet where we'll land safe as houses Burn the peace pipe you know we just might raise the flame of the funk when we douse this Fire of desire in the gyre we're movin' higher we've got it here just right And without a sound we can get down take the groove into the night New trip
