Saw you starin’ now I’m darin’ you to be brave
Show me you can dance, show me you can misbehave
How about we scrabble back at my place
Feel the bliss, leave a kiss where my fingers trace
Caught a vibe the first time I looked at you
Got me thinking about places we could go.
So, where you wanna go?
Yeah, where we gonna go?
Sails up! We gonna drift tonight
Warm breeze, the air is trembling right
Where the wind blows, baby, I will follow
Anchors up into the air
No sign of shoreline anywhere
And we’re out too far to care!
Take my word (hey) I ain’t here to mess around
If I’m in for a penny I’m in for a pound
Lock it in now we’re shaking like we’re starbound
Feeling free, zero G, as we leave the ground
Caught a vibe the first time I looked at you
Got me thinking about places we could go.
So where you wanna go?
Yeah, where we gonna go?
Sails up! We gonna drift tonight
Warm breeze, the air is trembling right
Where the wind blows, baby, I will follow
Anchors up into the air
No sign of shoreline anywhere
We’re out too far to care

See the timeline’s changing
Get it through your head.
(oh oh-oh oh-oh)
Shocker of an ending, baby,
We all dead!
(oh oh-oh oh-oh)
How do we say goodbye
Is it a battle cry?
Is it too late to contemplate
our fate and reasons why?
Will an answer toll
Like thunder
from the mountain top?
Fuck that,
I dedicate this body
To the future crop.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
I asked the stars,
“Why if we were made from clay,
did we begin
to see another way?”
Try to throw away the dice
And redesign the rules
Draw lines across the land
preach and teach it in the schools
That these rivers are not veins (sung by children)
And these waters are not blood
That the soil’s not alive
Born of fires born of flood
But see these trees
With their fingers reaching upwards to the sky
Are praising the same god, tracing I and I.
You taught me joy, taught me peace
The cool of earth, the mirth of bees.
How to dig the dark like roots
And bring to surface bitter fruits.
But all along I held a knife
With unseen hand pressed to your side.
I thought you gave your gifts for free
I long to see you
Drinketh from your heart.
Forgive me dear,I did betray,
When all these years I should have stayed
With thee.
- - - - - - - - -
What will we pray for as the ending nears?
What will we pray fothrough the burning years?
What will we pray to as confusion clears?
Don’t leave us drowning in our tears.
Ancestors
Of disaster.
Was entitled to
Live like masters.
That’s what they’re gonna say about us.
That’s all of you that they will ever know.
What will we pray to as the ending nears?
What will we pray for through the burning years?
What will we pray to as confusion clears?
Don’t leave us drowning in our tears.
You brought me love,taught me peace
The cool of earth, the mirth of bees.
How to dig darkness like roots
And bring to surface bitter fruits.
I didn’t know I held a knife
With unseen hand pressed to your side.
I thought you gave these gifts for free
I long to see you
Drinketh from your heart.
In your fields and folds
You saved me from the start.
Forgive me dear,I did betray,
When all these years I should have stayed
With thee.
