In Your Sky of Thoughts What the Clouds Are
While You Live
They can tear down the monuments of the sentiments of our past
We can forget our childhoods and kill all our moments
But before you die, I'll play you the song
I sang through your open window that one summer,
Along with the breeze so warm
We can spend all our money, we can spend our whole life,
Living royal and wealthy just by being satisfied
And before you die, I'll serenade the same song
I courted you with when we were young
They can tear the roof off your house and your home's still the sky
You'll lay down in the gutter while the water rolls by
Overwrought with a fever, hot flashes and chills
Can make you jerk and stutter and pull at your will
Until after a while of daydreaming like a child,
The glaze on your eyes shines all through
And then before you die, I'll play you the song
I wrote for our love one more time
Bitches is Lord
The cawing birds do wake you up
And fill up your bed with dawn
And you are so beautiful
In morning light, so hard and soft
Now I have been crouching since dusk
And shivering by my roaring fire
I burned my front and froze my back,
awake in the dark sky all night
I've told you oh so many times
That you don't know anything
And I've told you just as many times
That I don't know nothin' neither
With peace of mind and empty eyes
One must dive in and believe
Yeah, believe we can be happy
And believe in what one sees
I preached to the man who preached to me
That neither of us knew anything
I don't know what he believes
But I understand that we had no understanding
And so I shouldn't write my will yet
But I will rewrite my songs
To try and break the fickle hearts
Of the romantics who wanna' sing along
And so it goes...
Don't do nothin'
Besides what
You know is
What you really want to
So let's go around the country
And to all God's children sing
I maintain that I'm one of you
And that's all I want to be
But let's cast away the dogma
And the generality,
All pervading this good Lord's land
Where the finest bitches be
Darling, skip church Sunday
Stay with me
I'm in love with you
And I wanna' spend a while
In this weird dream
Baby, let's stop lying
Let's stand up
And save the world,
Or at least push our luck
Blushing
Have you ever seen an asshole crying?
Or stayed alive while a great hero died?
Or felt the same lips that lied kiss you on the eye?
Then you know every hill has its valley
And I cannot live without you
But now you look as beautiful on the outside as you are on the inside
You look as divine on the outside as you are on the inside
And I can see your blood, how its running
Around the mountain you'll be coming
But with the skin on your face turning more translucent now,
More clearly, there's no inside and no out
There’s really nowhere to hide
But there's nothing to hide from
There’s nothing to be afraid of
Strange World
The cold, unwelcoming visage
Of the world wants a stranger's love
The world is such a pretty girl
And hard to get
But one girl will be my whole world
Who gives me a whole life of love
Who I can not get enough of
I’m faithfully your husband, my wife
Though the whole universe is outside
And two worlds exist in the same sky
The surreal real and what we name,
Believe is real, day to day
I hope that when the judgment comes
And old Hannah sets not to come up
That we will meet where work is done
And be in love forever,
Two as one
But now the vultures have begun circling
I know what they want with me
It’s not that I don't want no friends
But just that I’m really alone anyway
Until the end
The winter simply makes dark days
So keep a fire going
In the place
No More Wild
The tree trunks look like open gates
For the wild, the state of day
But by night they turn to the bars
On the prison windows of our roads
All the dark secrets are inside them
And they're looming in front of you
Why don't you stay in your little village?
‘Cause we're no more wild and you've got so much work to do
So yeah, we can stop at the state park with our bellies full
And not go too far from the little car
But if we were gonna' do that, why don't we just drive out to Wal-Mart
And hang out in the parking lot?
It's almost dawn
And the streetlights look like moons
The Real Wild World
No matter what world may be in your mind,
The world that your mind is in is unknown and wild
So let's admit that we live in a wild, wild world
Where anything is possible and freedom reigns
Do you make a living bringing tasks to completion
Until they're dissolution in a few vacant days,
Or by doing your best through each new moment and breath?
‘Cause life makes life again and again
Why give up so soon when death will for you?
There's so much to learn if one knows one don't know it
What great expectations are placed on the youth
In the face of the exceptions given in our history books
If this is the real world, then what was that before?
Do you believe in a realer world gated in the clouds, where we're all going?
Or will you admit that we live in a wild, wild world,
Where anything is possible, and when we die, we die?
But now we're alive
Don’t Cry
Don’t cry if your roof falls in
And this world is inconsistent
Like snow, sand or dust
It whirls around
It's a world
It’s only a breath, heartbeat or blush
Is it safe to place our trust?
You’re Free
To all of you people
Who speak English like me
And all you other people--
Will someone translate please?
You can do whatever you want
And fuck what anybody says
I would like to encourage you
With this question:
And I sing it with all of
The love and trust in my heart
So you don't have to answer it now
Or ever at all
But it goes:
Did you do what you wanted to,
Or what you didn't want to?
'Cause that's all that matters
At the end of the day
So look deep in your heart
Each night for the answer
And if it's not the right one
Then why don't you change?
You can say it's subjective and that it certainly is
But did you look deep in your heart
Just yet like I said?
And did you do what you wanted to
Or what you didn't want to?
That's all that matters
At the end of the day
Freedom
What do we do with our freedom?
For life, we’re all like prisms
And like brand new spring blossoms,
We'll die and fall away
When the year turns autumn,
Following the rain
So why are our souls in prisons,
In caves to hide away in?
With each a will of our own
Why do we keep doing wrong?
I don't know
But our freedom won’t stand alone
Our freedom’s what we make of it,
All right?
Save the World
Oh, I want to save the world
There’s so much wrong with everyone and everything
And if I could say just one thing to every person
What would it be?
Would it be, “Change your mind to fit your heart
If you want to save the world like me
And the closer how you see it will come to how it is?”
No
Would it be, “Change your mind about it all
If you want to save the world like me
Because if you think you’re wrong, you’re probably right?”
Wait, hold on, let me give it one more try
Would it be, “Change your mind according to
What’s really true today, for you
So you’ll believe what’s deep in me
And not the shallow words chosen by those who speak,
Like me?”
I’m not my singing or my songs but my name is Adrian Orange
I know a lot about not knowing, so I make CD’s full of helpless things
Won’t you put a little life in these?
Won’t you put my record on and set it free?
The good will all come from inside you
Like a baby who lives a long, long life
Now who wants to save the worlds and who wants to be my good girl?
Fuck the world that shows us how we can really love it now
Alright, now who wants to save the world and who wants to be my good boy?
In the same world, rich or poor, we can all live lives of joy
Alright, now who wants to save the world and who wants to fall in love?
If you love the one you’re with and the moment that you’re in,
We can make a new world come
Alright
A Real Dream
Baby, are you having a dream of a dream of a real dream
Of a dream of a real dream with red cheeks?
Because I am
I Don’t Know
Tell us what are you doing in the world
I don’t know, but I don’t know doesn’t mean I don’t care
May we be in agreement here?
‘Cause since a patch is significant of a whole
I wouldn’t lie and waste your time
I just don’t know
And ignorance can be a mask and a wall and a shield
But for real, my eyes are peeled for the world
And as my mind searchlight seeks your answer
In the sky of my thoughts glinting exceptions linked through assumptions
But I don’t know doesn’t mean I don’t care
‘Cause I love living right now and here
And I’d love it if you would make me blush
By pointing out some illogical junk
To the inconclusive end this song will find
Bring blood to my cheeks and so humble me
Don’t Get Used To It
You’re transported to work in the morning
But don’t get used to it
And the mountain face is green and dark
But don’t get used to that
At night, the water reflects distant lights
But don’t get used to them
And when the spring comes, it brings flowers
But don’t get used to that
And when the fall comes, smell the leaves
But don’t get used to them
‘Cause if you want to love every moment you get,
You ‘gotta take ‘em as they come
Or else you might miss the kisses of the dewy grass
Or the caress of a conversation between strangers
Flags of the World Made Into the Sky
As you sail your life on the sea of its’ days
Fly up the flag that says
“Nothing, nowhere, no how to no one”
And as you keep your house in the home of the sky
Make it warm and glow but welcome all
Welcome all
Don’t stop at the stars
In Your Sky of Thoughts What the Clouds Are
Keep on believing because what the world needs now is a bird on a mountain,
A fish in the sea, a star in the night, a singer in a song, like me
A mouse in the street
Yeah, keep on believing because what your country needs
Is a new flag for the future made of the moving sky
With curling smoke a-whisping in from all cultures,
Ablaze with life
Keep on believing because what the world needs now is something no one can understand
Like, in your sky of thoughts, what the clouds are
What you see is what you get
And now who is wise, when now is all there is, and you can’t save it up?
Keep on believing because what you do is what is really, really real true
