I’m good, ain’t feelin’ well
I’m standing at the gates of hell
Got sunlight, and darkness, too
I’m standin’ in line with you
Looked Up, Looked Down
Looked Up, Looked Down
Been chicken, got a heavy load
Been wishin’ I could cross that road
Been chicken, and I must admit
Done been through some heavy shhhh…
Looked Up, Looked Down
Looked Up, Looked Down
Saw Satan at a corner store
Dressed up like some common whore
The Good Book, got it memorized
Habakkuk and those minor guys
They holy, but went astray
they went astray, they went astray, they went astray…
Looked Up, Looked Down
Looked Up, Looked Down
I’m fine, I’m feeling swell
Just staring at the gates of hell

my chameleon and me
looking in the mirror
and changing the shapes
we see
and weighing the scales
like lady justice
but in the end
it’s just us
me and you
you and me
me and me and
me and my chameleon
my chameleon and me
hello, mirror
mirror kisses
me and my chameleon
me and you
you and me
me and me and
me and my chameleon
me and my…
me and my…
me and my…
me and my chameleon

put down that gun
put down that gun
before that gun puts you down
people laughed when i said
i was going to be a comedian
well, they're not laughing now
i'm the kind of guy
you don't hear from for ages
then, one day, BAM!
you never hear from me again
we all want to live forever
it's a common thing to covet
so far so good for everyone
we all think we're gonna live forever
we're like Bonnie and Clyde
but in the end no one gets out alive
i'm the kind of guy
you don't hear from for ages
then, one day, BAM!
you never hear from me again
put down that gun
put down that gun
before that gun puts you down
i'm the kind of guy
you don't hear from for ages
then, one day, BAM!
you never hear from me again
put down that gun
put down that gun
put down that gun
put down that gun

this lazy life
passed it off as patience
took one deep breath
and bounced into the water
and the surface let me in
flat surface let me in
this hazy past life
a kind of gauzy vision
so easy to see
when you’re under the water
and the surface let me in
calm calm surface let me in
and the sun looks
just like saffron
took one deep breath
and bounced into the water
and the surface let me in
flat surface let me in
and the sun looks
just like saffron
the sun looks
just like saffron

college barber

i've got a militant teacher
i've got a militant mom
i've got a grouchy preacher
and a barber named Don
there's a red and white pole
at second and main
nightcrawlers in a bowl
after-shave for the pain
high & tight
high & tight
i've got a militant barber
and that's not right
he got the steaming towel
he got the razor strop
he got the idle chatter
that never seems to stop
high & tight
high & tight
i've got a militant barber
and that's not right
i'm looking in the mirror
i see what’s on his back wall
an oil painting of a muskie
fishing tackle from the mall
high & tight
high & tight
i've got a militant barber
and that's not right

kill the hollow car
there’s no way to save it
with its empty engine
you can disobey it
murder your hands
and your false brain, too
put them in a bag
until you can come to

Franklin in Paris
04:12

Shudder and spit
exactly what you think
Shaking a fist
just before you fall
Paris is a city
Paris was a man
Hangin’ at the Eiffel
with his Paris clan
pariah messiah
brittle shaman
breaking Franklin
brittle, broken
Cosmopolitan village
cosmopolitan man
At the edge of a wave
if you count the Siene
pariah messiah
Paris man
Paris messiah
pariah man
Look at the spectacle!
Isn’t it spectacular?!
Pen to paper
dust to broom
Words on pages
and how soon is soon?

Go ahead go ahead go ahead
Go ahead and color yourself
Go ahead on the outside
Go ahead and color yourself
But we’re all the same color on the inside
Go ahead go ahead go ahead
You got Alpha
He got Beta
We got Delta
They got Data
Go ahead and color yourself
Go ahead on the outside
Go ahead and color yourself
But we’re all the same color on the inside
You got Alpha
He got Beta
We got Delta
They got Data
Hold it up to the cube
See in to the prism
Hold it up to the cube
Lke a drop of rain
Like a handmaid moving on
Go ahead and color yourself
Go ahead, go ahead and look at all the pretty colors
