Drinking Vinegar [Live]

I’m tired and I’m hungry and I’m drinking vinegar.
It’s bitter and bitter, not bitter enough.
But it’s fine for me, if it’s good enough for the Lord.
But he was on a cross, I’m only feeling sorta sore.
Now I’m all alone with my righteousness,
but it doesn’t keep me good company.
I’ve found fault in everything I guess,
now I’m not so sure what I should just let be.
Living gets harder the longer you live,
but dying doesn’t seem to get easier.
Those who taketh don’t often give.
Maybe it’s not so wrong to need some savior.
There was a time I reveled in my goodness,
then I got the thought that doing that was evil.
Now I see it’s not so simple,
but I don’t want to know anymore, I just want to be humble.
Right now I see that loving the neighbor
means loving someone you’d rather not love.
It gets bitterer and bitterer but better than vinegar
and if you're doing it right it might get good enough.
The longer I live I feel more out of touch.
It’s not getting easier to love and understand.
I think I see so much evil going un-judged.
It’s not so wrong to need to be led by the hand.
I’m still tired and hungry and drinking vinegar.
It’s bitter and bitter, not bitter enough.
Now I think I’ll give water a try
coz I know the Lord did more than weep and cry.

If something is alive
then something else has died
to feed it
But maybe nothing dies
it’s just re-organized
but that’s not how we feel it
We are all so weak
but we all can speak
in some way
And I can hold your cheek
and find strength in telling each
other we’re ok
We don’t have full control
but you can choose to console
and that you won’t regret
Time takes no effort,
but time gives less comfort
the more of it we get
Now I wonder if there is
anywhere outside of time
and I wonder how we’d fit.
With all these obstacles
you may need some luck
to get anything done.
I’m sure you’ve found luck before
everything doesn’t have to be a chore.
You’ll find luck some day
you don’t have to win any race
You will find luck some day
you can call grace.
You don’t have to earn it all
You’ll find gifts and gifts will find you
you’ll get lucky some day
and you can choose what to do.
And you have time.
You can give life.
You’ve got time.
You can give time,
since you’ve got time.
You can speak any time.
You have time.
You can be nice right now,
you’ve got the time.
You can dive into a second.
You have the time.
You’re alive right now.
You have time.
Go use it now.
You’ve got time
You will be fine
You’ve got time
You can improve too
coz you’ve got time.
You’ve got an hour, a minute, a second -
you’ve got time.
Oh time,
go use it now.
You've got time.

Crying Spells [Live]

There’s not such a clear division
between tears of dejection
and tears of elation.
There’s always a drop of each in each -
some happiness in your sadness, some sadness in your happiness.
You don’t have control
over all that you feel.
And your body will press
up against your will.
Your hands will shake,
your cheeks will blush,
your lips will quiver,
your tears will rush.
And you can't stop it completely.
No matter how hard you try.
There’s not such a clear division
between thought and action.
It seemed so clear before, but then your mood affects your thought.
Don’t you act when you think, don’t you think when you act?
Opposites don’t only attract, they all blend together strangely too.
You don't have control
over all that you dream.
Your mind will press against
what the world imposes.
Your hands will shake,
your cheeks will blush,
your lips will quiver,
your tears will rush.
And you can't stop it completely.
O your hands shake
and your cheeks blush.
Your lips quiver
and your tears rush.
You can’t get your words
to come out right.
They come so fast,
but they’re surrounded by sounds.
Then they stop and start in fits and starts.
Your heart feels like it’s torn apart,
but you can’t quite get it out.
Is there such a clear division
between you and me or do we blend together
like tears and memories and dreams? Do you see such a difference between anything?
When you cry your nose stings the same and your eyes get so big every time.
You know it’s so real that’s the one thing you can feel for sure.
Do you have more control
over yourself than the world?
What separates
yourself from the world?
Are your hands shaking?
Are your cheeks blushing now?
Are your lips quivering?
Are your tears still rushing?
You know you can’t stop them
and now the whole world blends into your eye.

Easy Changes [Live]

We should look at artwork
like we look at mountains.
We should look at mountains
like we look at artwork.
Take it seriously
while you are laughing.
Ooowaa ooowaaa ooowaaa
hahahahahaha.
How's it gonna be
to love so completely?
You can change quite easily.
O don’t let it make you worry.
Try to make the best of
every situation.
Every situation
can be your guest.
It's all particular,
you can find some value.
You can find some value
in all the particulars.
You can run the bases.
Base your runs on something.
I don’t know - just do it for fun
Keep your eye on the ball.
Don't swing til it gets close.
Keep your eye on the ball.
All you gotta do is make some contact.
How’s it gonna be
to listen so sincerely?
You don't have to change completely.
Just reverse the order, see what you can see.
Even in baseball you can play but you don’t have to compete.

Conductors Chicago, Illinois
"Mona tried to tell me
To stay away from the train line
She said that all the railroad
men
Just drink up your blood like wine
An’ I said, 'Oh, I didn’t know that
But then again, there’s only one I’ve met
An’ he just smoked my eyelids
An’ punched my cigarette' "
