Lyrics

“ East Indian Sun ” – from the Beginner’s Mind LP (upcoming release 2004/2005)

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Constant throwing, always choking, racing ‘til the end

And as I sit, I try to sort out, lines that i've been fed

It’s all been said and done, it’s just another voice from the East Indian Sun

Hold tight and let it run, it’s just another sign from the East Indian Sun

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Session ends, transpose and bend, to make a suit for use

All called out, on fears and doubts, that’s pushed you back again

It’s all been said and done, it’s just another voice from the East Indian Sun

Hold tight and let it run, it’s just another sign from the East Indian Sun

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

On the walls, of where we live, there are these words that want to give us

All relief, from what we feel, those knots that seem to turn to eels

My subconscious, raised its head, proclaimed my ego here was dead

I walked on, then turned around, when I looked back the ground was upside down

“ Shallow Disease ” – from the Beginner’s Mind LP (upcoming release 2004/2005)

Something's buried in the snow

Unrelenting wind and cold that isolates and slakes desire

Leaves us all perplexed and tired

Close your eyes and spread your arms, to crucify’s her only charm

Turned your back without debate

Now you're in a sunshine state

I don't need your masquerades

I don't need all your charades

Cut the lights and pull the shades

I don't know you anymore

I can't feel you anymore

I can' see you anymore

No, I don't know you anymore

All those things that you said before

I can never believe

You're filling my mind with your love for some shallow disease

All those things that you did before

I still can't believe

How deep is your love, for that shallow disease

...And you left all of us here with a scar that just can't seem to heal!

“ She Screams ” – from the Beginner’s Mind LP (upcoming release 2004/2005)

Kick back, cause there's no more sun outside

My world, with all these others collide

I fear I'll never, ever feel, I'm free

My love, she pushes and nods me on

She's propped up and poised with these questions to see

Who I am, and what’s been wrong

She says "I just want you to feel you're free."

but then...

...She screams "What the hell are you trying to do to me?"                                                         

"All these things that I do for you every day!"

Her eyes, are windows that touch her soul

And her face lines, they're common with long term goal

So I hold her until she smiles

but still.......................she screams

All those years, you've heard me carry on

About how great we were and how we use to sound, sacrificing!

Now I hear your innuendos raining in........

...The rain I'm still standing in

“ ...Struggle Like I Do ” – from the Beginner’s Mind LP (upcoming release 2004/2005)

Locked in a prison,

that I call religion,

I had to get high, just so I could escape,

from the rules in my life,

"Get the hell out of bed kid, and go to school,

'cause I don't want you to struggle like I do."

You don't know how much it meant,

for you to approve and encourage,

But you scorned all that I loved,

so I could become what you never could,

"Forget your childhood dream son,

'cause it never will come true,

I don't want you to struggle like I do."

Silence bleeds through my window,

a light shines, and waters my eyes,

I see no similarities, they see all you in me,

I've been some child from Malaysia that you see as so dirty, so cheap,

with red mud in my hair and such filth for a mind,

I can't be you,

I can't be.

“ …(in the) Bottle ” – from the Beginner’s Mind LP (upcoming release 2004/2005)

There's no time for resolutions

Let’s just celebrate the day we're in

I can't see me keepin' my spirit

Locked up in this place again

(it’s only over when you meet the end)

So let’s just live for the moment

Let’s not care, whatever they say

'Cause I know that we could die at any moment

so let’s take our breathe whenever we can

Bring the Mount Gay and that Johnny Walker Blue

'Cause we've got the pros all drinking' here

It’s a love that will last til’ mañana

That’s when your head’s ripe to explode

So let’s just live for the moment...

Look for me in the bottle

It’s my little clear hideaway

with not much room and the world at my face

Look for me sometime tomorrow

when I've got a little time to kill

That’s when my head won't wake and my legs I won't feel

“ Timing Crucial ” – from the Beginner’s Mind LP (upcoming release 2004/2005)

Timing crucial,

yeah my timing is so crucial,

Timing crucial, I must have galangal,

  I can't stay here, it’s not fruitful

Here's another chance for me to make it over,

 There's another chance for me to make it over,

   Will I have another chance to make it over there??

Here I Go!

Timing crucial,

yeah my timing is still crucial,

Timing crucial, one step, is crucial, cause if it’s to long..

it could be brutal!

Here I Go!

 (I've got four hundred legs that can carry me over there)

Here I Go!

 (I've always heard the words that the grass is much greener there)

Here I Go!

“ I Never Remember ” – from the Beginner’s Mind LP (upcoming release 2004/2005)

I had no business being there

I drank too much beer

& I wasn’t aware of the time

Who is this girl in my bed with her leg over mine?

Then my stomach reminded me that, I did it again

And I'd have to explain, it’s an uncomfortable thing

‘Cause I never remember

And, if what they say is true (I'm screwed)

And, I just can't remember, how I met you

with the grace of a bowling ball,

She wakes up and moans with the lines of a pasture in June

And the sobering facial expression that says,

"Oh my god who are you, and what’s all this stuff in my hair?"

I don't think that you want to know

All of those years my dirty thoughts were restrained

All of those years my dirty thoughts came again

"Will you respect me, in the morning?"

"I don't respect you now!"

I suppose I should be ashamed, by this

Immoral display that I've shared with you all

If I promise you I'll never do it again…

…will you believe me?

“ Taipei ” – from the Beginner’s Mind LP (upcoming release 2004/2005)

I wake, I try and translate, every moment after

These chains, laced with pain, are always causing problems

Unwind, the world unkind, so should I even bother

Tongue tied, my conversation died, she said that she's god fearin'

No home, no school, no love, seems i'm just some big ol' slug

One sight ahead, how much longer til I'm dead

             I'm an elephant from Taipei!!

Dead end, my world won't bend, and crack is on the corner

I thought it'd make me feel much better (I'm so clever)

“ The Heat ” – from the Beginner’s Mind LP (upcoming release 2004/2005)

There's some buckshot

in the back of

some old guy with his hands up

It’s amore`

flat out and sorry

she didn't get what she put out for him!

There's another spanish speaking brother

he takes a hit for his own freedom

 Here's our leader

jellyfish'n creature

showed us every bit of spine he's got

It’s the heat that’s been left on

much to long for us to walk right through

Terrified you look to the moon

for peace of mind and wonder

   "what’s the use........we all get used."

There's another

lives undercover

and holds his hands out for his future

Here comes Reno

caters to Castro

she swallows everything that big red says!

“ You Know ” – from the Beginner’s Mind LP (upcoming release 2004/2005)

All lines ...broken

no words were spoken

You've transgressed in healing

with no will for believing

You know

   I've always been into you

You know

all those things you've put me through

Ten fold

there's a lot that’s heading your way

        ...and you know

I, amuse myself, watching

she is my breath

Strangers take your moments

could you save some for me?

Let’s make sure I understand

the space you'd made was something you hadn't planned
