Verse 1:
She burned soft rain and sage
Sitting by the stove
Count your many blessings
Learn to sip them slow
She said it doesn’t matter
Who you love and how strong
I’m a beast come to burden
Couldn’t come along, couldn’t come along
Money’s only nothing
And nothing’s only time
Head so full of wishes
Couldn’t hold a dime
Chorus 1
Ooooo are you sure you’re doing it right?
Heaven & Hell put up a big fight
But now it’s time to come home
Ooooo Getting closer to shore
You found what you’re looking for
It was there all along, it was there all along
Verse 2
Parables are pebbles
Glass is made of sand
Ice will melt and time will tell
But a man is a man
I knew I’d catch you bluffing
The smoke coming off of your skin
Bring me, baby, to your lips,
Thought we’d never win, thought we’d never win
Chorus 2
Ooooo are you sure you’re doing it right?
Heaven & Hell put up a big fight
But now it’s time to come home
Ooooo Find it, Say Amen
And you’ll do it all again
For the rest of your life, for the rest of your life
Solo
Verse 3
Pleasure is all we know here
Don’t speak the language of pain
Take your clothes off ready
To feel the pouring rain
Can you tell me truly
Why does she not sing?
If there is joy in life
Why don’t she sing? Why don’t she sing?
Chorus 3
Ooooo are you sure you’re doing it right?
Heaven & Hell put up a big fight
But now it’s time to come home
Ooooo Getting closer to shore
You found what you’re looking for
It was there all along, it was there all along
Chorus 4
Ooooo are you sure you’re doing it right?
Heaven & Hell put up a big fight
But now it’s time to come home
Ooooo Find it, Say Amen
And you’ll do it all again
For the rest of your life, for the rest of your life

I Sing the Body
03:23
|
|||
|
I lived my whole life
Never knowing I was a bell
Until the moment I was lifted up and struck
We emerged as a moon in light
A kinesthetic, blinding light
So we melted each other down and then back up
I sing the body
Put your back into it
I resonate the body
Put your mind into it
Oo baby, won't you give me some
Of that rainbow light slipping off of your tongue
I wanna run, run, run
Stretch me tight like the skin of a drum
The earth is full of cages
Barred around distant faces
Carefully dismantled by love
So penetrate and oscillate into the flow
Perspirate and vascillate throughout the show
Till we lift ourselves and each other up
I sing the body
Put your back into it
I resonate the body
Put your mind into it
Oo baby, well it ain't that hard
Get on your feet and raise up your arms
I want to move your heart
'Cause if you don't move, it can't be art
I sing the body
Put your back into it
I resonate the body
Put your mind into it
The Universe is wrapped in string
It can't do nothing but shake that thing
I wanna ring, ring, ring
Like a sweet, sweet bell on God's own wing
I sing the body
Put your back into it
I resonate the body
Put your mind into it
Oo baby, I love you so
From the folds of your brain to the stretch of your toes
I wanna go, go, go
I want to love your soul
I sing the body
Put your back into it
I resonate the body
Put your mind into it
Oo love we are soul embrace
In a moment of life, time turned its face
I wanna race, race, race
Jump off the world into the unknown grace

Over Your Head

Verse 1
They meant only the best
Got up at dawn and packed their bags
Mama was sure to tie your little shoes
They knew the road would be long
Deep black sea with horizon strong
No one should have to choose this
Pre-chorus
You’re in over your head
You’re in over your head
You’re in, and now I can’t get you out of mine
Verse 2
Your daddy held tight to you
He tried to keep you up, he tried to make it through
But he is only a man, only a man
When the sea swallowed you whole
It told you things that had never been told
But baby, did you understand? Did you understand?
Pre-chorus
You’re in over your head
You’re in over your head
You’re in, and now I can’t get you out of mine (2x)
Chorus
I wish that I could hold your sadness
I wish that you could crawl into the spaces of my heart
I wish that I could hold back that madness
I wish that you could crawl into the spaces of my heart
Trumpet Solo
Verse 3
They said we’d give a thousand suns
To save you, but there’s millions
Already been taken, washed ashore
Fingers point across the table
But no one’s willing and no one’s able
To tell us, what did this happen for?
Pre-chorus
You’re in over your head
You’re in over your head
You’re in, and now I can’t get you out of mine (2x)
Chorus
I wish that I could hold your sadness
I wish that you could crawl into the spaces of my heart
I wish that I could hold back that madness
I wish that you could crawl into the spaces of my heart
Tag
You’re in over your head
You’re in over your head
You’re in, and now I can’t get you out

Old Birds

Verse 1
Old birds are hard to pluck
Just ask those that came before us
We crows like shiny things
Just ask those with the diamond rings
Pre-Chorus
But we still fall in love
Thanks lucky stars and
Hope the world will go
Exactly as we planned
Verse 2
Some of us plant our seeds not looking to harvest
There’s enough joy, just ask the rose
Some of us will never grow up, never grow old
Just ask those that tell us to do so
Pre-Chorus
But we still fall in love
Thanks lucky stars and
Hope the world can hold
Our rosy colored glow
Chorus 1
You hope that you wanna
You hope that you wanna
You hope that you’re willing to change (you hope that you wanna change)
You hope that you wanna
You hope that you wanna
You hope that you’re willing to change (you hope that you wanna change)
Verse 2
Old birds forgot to fly
Just ask those that look to the sky
Some of us are afraid to fail, afraid to fall
Just ask those that never tried at all
Pre-Chorus
But we still fall in love
Thanks lucky stars and
Hope the world can hold …
Chorus 2
You hope that you wanna
You hope that you wanna
You hope that you’re willing to change (you hope that you wanna change)
You hope that you wanna
You hope that you wanna
You hope that you’re willing to change (you hope that you wanna change)
That you wanna listen, that you wanna change
That you wanna listen, that you wanna change
You hope that you’re willing to change (you hope that you wanna change)
That you wanna listen, that you wanna change
That you wanna listen, that you wanna change
You hope that you’re willing to change (you hope that you wanna change)
Musical interlude and key change
Chorus 3
You hope that you wanna
You hope that you wanna
You hope that you’re willing to change (you hope that you wanna change)
You hope that you wanna
You hope that you wanna
You hope that you’re willing to change (you hope that you wanna change)
That you wanna listen, that you wanna change
That you wanna listen, that you wanna change
You hope that you’re willing to change (you hope that you wanna change)
That you wanna listen, that you wanna change
That you wanna listen, that you wanna change
You hope that you’re willing to change (you hope that you wanna change)
