1. CONVINCED OF THE HEX

She submits as she dominates
She gets out of her head
As she talks to the ceiling
You can hear what she said
She said, "That's the difference between us
That's the difference between us
That's the difference between us
You see, that's the difference between us"

She says, "I like your theory
But it won't pass no test"
Watching the watchers
Getting shot in the chest
That's the difference between us
That's the difference between us
That's the difference between us
That's the difference between us"

She says, "You think there's some system
That controls and affects"
You see, I believe in nothing
And you're convinced of the hex
I believe in nothing
And you're convinced of the hex

That's the difference between us
That's the difference between us
That's the difference between us
You see, that's the difference between us


2. THE SPARROW LOOKS UP AT THE MACHINE

What, what does it mean
To dream what you dream
To believe what you see

Why, why do we fear
To try to fly near
Just beneath the machine

What, what does it mean
To dream what you dream
To believe what you see

Why, why do we fear
To try to fly near
Just beneath the machine
Just beneath the machine
Just beneath the machine
Just beneath the machine


3. EVIL

I wish I could go back
Go back in time
I wish I could go back
Back in time

I would've warned you
Those people are evil
And it's hard to understand
I'll never understand

I wish I could go back
Go back in time
But no one ever really can
Go back in time

I would have shown you
Those people are evil
And they'll hurt you if they can
I'll never understand
Understand
I'll never understand


4. AQUARIOUS SABOTAGE

(Instrumental)


5. SEE THE LEAVES

Without hope
Without love
She sees herself
From below and above

Her untied hand
She smears the spit
Pleasure and suffering
Her beliefs conflict

It brings a smile
She cannot pretend
To believe that life
Really has no end

See the leaves
They're dying again
See the moth
It's flying again

See the leaves
They're dying again
See the moth
It's flying again
See the grass
It's dying again
See the sun
It's trying again
It's trying again
It's trying again
It's trying again
It's trying again


6. IF

People are evil, it's true
But on the other side
They can be gentle too
If the decide

But they don't always decide
We live on the impulses
Love is powerful
But not as powerful as evil

People are evil, it's true
But on the other side
They can be gentle too
If they decide
If they decide


7. GEMINI SYRINGES

Gemini
Gemini psalms
Gemini psalms
Gemini psalms
Gemini psalms and the syringes
Gemini psalms
Gemini psalms they are singing
Gemini psalms


8. YOUR BATS

Saw your nightmare bat go by my window
Saw them two lingering
Couldn't be a rabbit
Flying like usual
Couldn't be the habit
You saw them too
Oh, every evening
So ooh goes
Oh, into the nightmare
Sun rising black instead of gold
Now or never
Saw your nightmare bat go by my window


9. POWERLESS

Honey, you're just paranoid
You should do what you enjoy
No one is ever really powerless
That's what she said and she gave me a kiss
No one is ever really powerless
Now I think I know what that really is

It only happens if you try
Pain and pleasure both get you high
No one is ever really powerless
That's what she said, now I can't forget
No one is ever really powerless
No I think I know what that really is


10. THE EGO'S LAST STAND

It's heavier now
Once you see their faces
Oh, they're just like us

It's heavier once
You stand in their places
Oh, the ego is crushed

The only way out
Is destroy all traces
Oh, destroying yourself

There's no way back
It's complete devastation
Oh, there's no way out

No way out
How can you still believe
What you believe

There's no way out
How can you believe
What you still believe

The red worm is calm
The dawn's shadow changes
Oh, the sparrow looks up

Red spots on the sun
Is there evil in nature
Oh, the eagle's spread claw

An invisible cloud
Makes invisible changes
Oh, the ant takes the crumb

A man holds a gun
There's no explanation
Oh, he shoots at the sun


11. I CAN BE A FROG

She said I can be a frog
I can be a bat
I can be a bear
I can be a cat
She said I can be a lion
I can be a Gila monster
I can be a warrior Indian
I can be a helicopter
She said I can be a wolf
I can be a finch
I can be a jaguar
Or a locust on a branch
She said I can be a monkey
I can be a tiger
I can be a tornado
Knocking down your wires

Well, it seems like she can be anything
Any kind of creature she wants to be
Oh, it seams like she can be anything
Any kind of frog
Any kind of bear
Any kind of monkey
She wants to be


12. SAGITTARIUS SILVER ANNOUCEMENT

We can be like they are
We can be free
We can be like they are
We can be free
Free to be evil
Free to believe
Free to be slaves now
To this silver machine

Can it help us?
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
We can be like they are
We can be free
We can be like they are
We can be free
Free to eat the fruit
From the evil tree
Free to be one now
With this silver machine

Can it help us?
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes


13. WORM MOUNTAIN

When you try
You will see
When you fail
You will be
Up on the mountain
But down in a hole
Only nature
Has control

When you run
You will hear
Through the mist
A bell rings clear
But the ring
Is just a sound
Of your star burn
Burning out

On the mountain
Way up high
There are worms
With diamond eyes
When you squeeze them
It makes a light
Through the forest
When you're blind


14. SCORPIO SWORD

(Instrumental)


15.THE IMPULSE

If you'd just come down
From your space tower jail
I could have shown you
Those colors aren't so pale
The way it glows
The way it shines
The way it plays on
The dimensions in your mind

But it seems like nothing's gonna satisfy
Your shapeless urges
You keep trying
Trying
Trying
Trying
Trying

You say you're unhappy
That you don't like your hair
I could have shown you
There are heavens everywhere
We go through tunnels
And we go up high
But you just got frustrated
With those electric power glides

And it seems like nothing's gonna satisfy
Those shapeless urges
You keep trying
Trying
Trying
Trying
Trying


16. SILVER TREMBLING HANDS

She keeps feeling for the blindfold
She keeps wishing for the secret society to fall
She keeps watching for the jaguar
With a silver trembling hand
Dagger
Night
Fight
Tomorrow
She forgets about the fear

When she's high
When she's high
When she's high
When she's high

She puts diamonds on her forehead
They remind her how the animals and trees and insects call
Is it wrong not to believe
Nature makes us all complete
Daggers
Night
Fight
Tomorrow
She forgets about the fear

When she's high
When she's high
When she's high
When she's high


17. VIRGO SELF-ESTEEM BROADCAST

You think the forces have control
Well there are no forces
And they have no control

Yes it's just you and me
We fear anything that looks like the sun
And we by our own design are helpless

This is the beginning
This is the beginning
This is the beginning
This is the beginning

This is the beginning
This is the beginning
This is the beginning
This is the beginning


18. WATCHING THE PLANETS

Oh, oh, oh, watching the planets
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, watching the planets align

Oh, oh, oh, what is the reason
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, I got no reason to lie

Yes, yes, yes, killing the ego
Yes, yes, yes, alright
Yes, yes, yes, killing the ego tonight

No, no, no, I got no secrets
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, I got no secrets to hide

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

See, the sun's gonna rise
See, the sun's gonna rise
And take your fears away
Like the soft tit of the mother brain

Oh, oh, oh, finding the answer
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Finding that there ain't no answer to find

Oh, oh, oh, watching the planets
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, watching the planets align

Oh, oh, oh, building a fire
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, burning the Bible tonight

Oh, oh, oh, watching the eagle
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, watching the eagle fly

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The sun's gonna rise
