From the LP "Talking Songs for Walking"

Friend to Friend in Endtime
---------------------------

Everything he thought he knew
Was alive and too sound
He was kicking over

And the sound she made
When she tried to keep quiet
Was like kicking over
Everything we saved

Friend to friend in the Endtime

She's full of regret
But she treats me alright
She's kicking it over

We live with collision
We strap ourselves in
We're kicking over
The space our place is in

Well I'll come to grips if I do
I'll make amends if I do
Friend to friend in the Endtime

I put you in my way
You put me in your way
We're kicking over

I repeated what I thought you said
Before I knew what you really said
I'm kicking over
Stripped of my allegiance
Friend to friend in the Endtime

I want you water in my water
Just shy of threatening
Kicking over
I wanted to give to get some

It's all poor judgement
It's all one government
We're kicking over
It's all one head with a face on it

Friend to friend in the Endtime
Friend befriends friend in the Endtime


Broadcast
---------

The hand is gone
But the grip remains
The eye is gone
But the gaze remains
The brain is gone
But the idea remains
And when the feet are gone
The path will still remain

The lung is gone
But the breath remains
The heart is gone
But its beat remains
The throat is gone
But the voice remains
And when the mouth is gone
The world will still remain

The nerves are gone
But the signal remains
The veins are gone
But the river remains
The knee is gone
But the joint remains
And when the spine is gone
The junction will remain

The skull is gone
But the house remains
The hips are gone
But the seed remains
The womb is gone
But the vacuum remains
And when the mind is gone
The broadcast will still remain

So thankful receiving it
So thankful retrieving it
So thankful to walk through it
So thankful to breathe it in
I'm so thankful I'm walking
Thankful to be treading the face of this earth
with you all


Descender
---------

I saw her climb the 13th rung
I heard her singing the song she sung
I caught the flower that she flung
I saw a paper tab burning on her tongue
She's an angel you'll agree
Biggest damn halo
	that you're ever gonna see
He mouth roars her eye shine
If you're painfully honest 
you can stand in her light, man
I saw her blow her fragile fuse
I tried to crack her code
but it was no use
She's concentrating on levitation
Her body burst into violet hues
I took a look at her tattered shoes
I offered her mine but she refused
She said:  I want these cuts
		on my feet, man
gotta become sensitive as I can
She reached down put some trash 
		in her hair, man
She don't wonder and she don't ponder
She keeps walking but she
		never wanders
The tiny cuts in your skin
They let a little fresh air in
You dilate your opening
And when it starts to gush:
START TO SING
I saw her bleed
I saw her kneel
I don't pretend to understand
What she is feeling
I saw her rise
A golden ray of light
Appeared between her eyes
She rose above the gathering
		crowd
The sky was dark and the 
		weather was loud
She coalesced up in the cloud
She converted my without a word
Her churchbell heartbeat 
		was all I heard


Samuel
------

You lay your hands
You lay your hands on
You put your foot down
You put it down on the overground
We followed you 
But you refused a trail
All you need is a ray of weightless sunshine
To fill your sail

Samuel

It's so good to see you
Making you own way
It's so good to see somebody
save a little sunshine put away for a rainy day

Samuel

Seen a lantern swinging
Down in the tunnel
About a two hour walk down the railroad line
To Camden Yards in the dark
You take a fishing line
And a sewing needle
I thought I saw popping out of the top of your head
A cathedral steeple


Kissing
-------

To be so agile
To twist without authority or respect
Face off with all reflection
Confront the mundane manifest

I'm going through the motion
I got too far ahead of myself
I smothered my conviction
I got too far ahead of myself
I thought my torch was burning
I held aloft a cold branch
I thought my path was shining
I was walking on outstretched hands

I'm a whole lot of I don't knows
I try to stave off the I don't cares
My feet begin to lead me
I could sleep anywhere

So what I have to say today
And what I've got left to stand on 
Is that I am a random system
I'm an ill connected pattern
I am a behavior
That could have been your own


My Fool Heart
-------------

Oh my
My Fool Heart
I wish you were a brand new start
We take the lies and we break them apart
Trying to identify the hidden target
Oh my
My fool heart
I wish you were a go-cart
We take off running down a hill
Making turns too tight until we spill it over
Oh my
My fool heart
I wish you were a walk through the park
Birds singing and trees creaking
Shoes I could fill that never needed breaking in
Oh my 
My fool heart
I wish you were a manifold part
Galvanized and weatherized
You got you 4-wheel drive to spiritualize it
Oh my
My fool heart
I wish you were a torch burning in the dark
The faces of the assassinated
Smiling calmly and sedated


Non Dual Bliss
--------------

She called me on the phone
She could tell by the sound of my voice
	I was sitting home all alone
She said to me in a whispering tone:
Do you believe?
Do you believe in liberation?
Can you understand liberation?
Are you afraid of liberation?
I am afraid of liberation
I admit I'm afraid

She sent me a letter
I got it in the mail
I broke the seal
And I read that letter
She had beautiful handwriting
She had a beautiful hand
She had beautiful handwriting
And this is what I read:
Do you believe in liberation?
Can you understand liberation?
Are you afraid of liberation?
I am afraid of liberation
I admit I'm afraid

She saw me on the street
She tugged at my shirtsleeve
She handed me a leaflet
I put it in my pocket
I was doing my laundry
I checked my pocket
I produced the leaflet
Which I proceeded to read
Do you believe in liberation?
Can you understand liberation?
Are you afraid of liberation?
I am afraid of liberation
I admit I'm afraid

She knocked on my front door
Got me out of bed
I turned on my porch light
I looked out my peep hole
I seen her starting to jerk
I seen her starting to shake
I seen her about to spill over
When she started to speak she said:
Do you believe?


Put Your Hand in My Hand
------------------------

Put your hand in my hand
And look me in the eye when you're talking to me
Put your hand in my hand
And look me in the eye

Will you join me way out?
