Music by Ravicens

Coffee tastes bitter now
Filthy mirror I can't see how
So many years crept by
Creases break my eyes
Oh, the years are packed inside
So many days wrapped up in madness and my lies
Now I lie and realize
So many goodbyes I never got to say

Rain falls down on every man and woman
Sunrise sometime and the night is here and there
I'll howl to the moon and bear witness to the monkey king
Who thinks he can do no wrong

Half-remembered I can still see the eyes of those who believed in me
Widening as the house falls down on me
I spilled oil and set the fire
And stood amidst the flames I said I cannot burn
I'm GOD, be not concerned

Mad dog, white dog, you think you know what you know
Mad dog, sad dog, your brain's turned into snow
Put your hat on dog, bring it down now dog
You've gone and got lost beyond the veil
Come back from the wilds dog, get your head out the clouds dog
Can you hear yourself?

Wail...

I was Hanuman
Rockin' mountains on my shoulders
Watch me now, lift the sky
Put the burden down.
Got buried down beneath the whales
Chased my tail and tales, I even went to jail
Where they locked up the mad shaman
And shipped my mind now
They locked up the shaman now
I got lost beyond the veil

Mad dog, white dog, you think you know what you know
Mad dog, sad dog, your brain's turned into snow
Put your hat on dog, bring it down now dog
You've gone and got lost beyond the veil
Come back from the wilds dog, get your head out the clouds dog
Can you hear yourself wail?

Mad dog, white dog, you think you know what you know
Mad dog, sad dog, your brain's turned into snow
Put your hat on dog, bring it down now dog
You've gone and got lost beyond the veil
Come back from the wilds dog, get your head out the clouds dog
Can you hear yourself
Wail...

Wearing jewels round your neck
Smelling sweet and looking so damn fine
Got me high wondering what was you said
All the hours have drifted half past nine

Lies, lies, lies
You tell me so many damn lies
Lies, lies, lies
You tell me so many, many lies

Feeling blue in the fog of your stare
Trapped in a cage of memories of you
Hot for you but not your cold glare
Only God can parse whatever is true

Lies, lies, lies
You tell me so many, many lies
Lies, lies, lies
You tell me so many, many lies

You tell me so many lies

Downed in drink, I ain't no prize
Loneliness is my closest friend
I'm a man who tries and tries
Just looking for something to defend

Lies, lies, lies
You tell me so many, many lies
Lies, lies, lies
You tell me so many, many lies

Lies, lies, lies
You tell me so many, many lies
Lies, lies, lies
You tell me so many, many lies

Hold me in your arms and don't you ever let me go
Feel my warmth and know how much I care
Whisper in my ear all the sweet things that I miss
Take my hand and walk me to heaven
All my life I've been running from love
Your eyes are so precious and blue
I'm filled to the brim with you
I can't get you out of my mind

Pick me up and hold me true
All of my dreams are pointing to you
Hold me in your arms and don't let me go

Hold me in your arms and don't you ever let me go
Feel my warmth and know how much I care
Whisper in my ear all the sweet things that I miss
Take my hand and walk me to heaven
All my life I've been running from love
But now I, I can sit still
Knowing there's something that will never fade away
Though time might try to steal
Now I, I can sit still
Knowing there's something that will never fade away
Though time might try to steal
Never fade away
Though time might try to steal
Your eyes are so precious and blue
I'm filled to the brim with you
I can't get you out of my

Pick me up and hold me true
All of my dreams are pointing to you
Hold me in your arms and don't let me go

Now I, I can sit still
Knowing there's something that will
Never fade away
Though time might try to steal
Now I, I can sit still
Knowing there's someone who will
Never fade away
Though time might try to steal
Never fade away
Though time might try to steal
Never fade away
Though time might try to steal you from me

Something strange is going on

Something strange is going on

Look over here
And not over there

Something strange is going on

You can’t tell me facts are political
Some things happened or they didn’t
But not both
Or they wouldn’t be truth or lies

But you can’t quite say
Or wouldn’t
Or don’t want to
Or it isn’t right to say

But blame the dead guy
He can’t stand up and cry

Something strange is going on

Something strange is going on

Everybody knows
But nobody knows
And nobody knows
How everybody knows

Something strange is going on

Funny how the story gets wilder
Every time somebody leaves the room
Funny how the missing little pieces
Never find their way back into the news

Why don’t simple questions
Have simple answers anymore

Something strange is going on

Look over here
And not over there

Something strange is going on

Now the words have all got new meanings
And the meanings change depending who says them
And everybody’s absolutely certain
Even when it’s certain they’re wrong

Who pulled the strings to break common sense
What’s supposed to be common is rare
And what was once rare is common

Integrity or capitulation
Capitalism killed one
And everyone got fucked by the other
Everyone bend over and take it all at once and at the same time

Something strange is going on

Something strange is going on

Sure, blame the dead guy
He won’t disagree
Blame the dead guy
He can’t cry

Just his mother and daughter and friend and neighbor
But the nation watches in a fever

Draw a beard on his face
Put him in a hoodie
He’s a gangster
Not a kid with a chill walking home from school

Give him the gun and let’s drive through a pool

Something strange is going on

Something strange is going on

Look over here
And not over there

Nothing to see here

Nothing at all

Something strange is going on

Something strange is going on

Something strange is going on

I feel like I can do anything
I hear the voice of fate calling me
Calling me somewhere new
I hear voices of the past
They call me forward to somewhere new
And I cannot stop chasing dreams that I dream
And I can’t stop hoping that there’s somewhere new to see

Because I am free to be
Anything I wanna be
There’s a whole world calling me
And I wanna see what I can see

Because I am free to be
There’s somewhere I’m supposed to be
And I don’t know where that road will lead
But I am free
I am free to be

I feel like there is something ahead
I hear every word that tomorrow says
Calling me somewhere new
I see shadows of the past
But they can’t tell me what I have to do
And I cannot stop chasing dreams that I dream
And I can’t stop believing there’s somewhere I’m meant to be

Because I am free to be
Anything I wanna be
There’s a whole world calling me
And I wanna see what I can see

Because I am free to be
There’s somewhere I’m supposed to be
And I don’t know where that road will lead
But I am free
I am free to be

Maybe I don’t need to know
Maybe I just need to go
Maybe every open road
Is waiting there for me

Every place I’ve never been
Every life I haven’t lived
Every door I’ve never opened
I wanna see
I wanna see

Because I am free to be
Anything I wanna be
There’s a whole world calling me
And I wanna see what I can see

Because I am free to be
There’s somewhere I’m supposed to be
And I don’t know where that road will lead
But I am free
I am free to be

Because I am free to be
Anything I wanna be
There’s a whole world calling me
And I wanna see what I can see

Because I am free to be
There’s somewhere I’m supposed to be
And I don’t care where that road might lead
Because I am free
I am free to be

Because I am free to be
Anything I wanna be
There’s a whole world calling me
There’s a whole world waiting for me

Because I am free to be
There’s somewhere I’m supposed to be
I don’t have to know where the road will lead
I am free
I am free to be

Put my pen on the paper
Wrote a sad little caper
All about the ones… the dreams that never died

Ma said I should be a doctor
Or maybe a lawyer
She said, “Son… you’re a star, you’ve got to shine.”

Funny thing about things others say
Your sons and daughters tend to believe it
You said “anything,” but what you meant to say
Was anything… so long as I believed it

You said I could be anything
You said I could be anything
You said I could be anything

So I will be a star

I ain’t a dentist
I know the rent is
Due at the end of every month

I know your hope is
That I will focus
But won’t you let me be what I want?

Maybe I’m crazy
Maybe I’m chasing
Something the whole world says won’t last

But if I don’t try it
How could I deny it?
Wondering what might have come to pass

Funny thing about things others say
Your sons and daughters tend to believe it
You said “anything,” but what you meant to say
Was anything… so long as I believed it

You said I could be anything
You said I could be anything
You said I could be anything

So I will be a star

Maybe I’ll stumble
Maybe I’ll fall down
Maybe I’ll never touch the sky

But every dreamer
Starts as a believer
Long before the reasons tell them why

You said I could be anything
You said I could be anything
You said I could be anything

So I will be a star

A star that shines brightly through the night
That never wavers in the dark

If you taught me I could be anything

Then let me become…

A star
