Wise Man Memphis

Wise Man Memphis

 

Wise men went to Memphis
Went into the Palace
White All-round surroundings
They don’t see no angels
They don’t come to my place
I ain’t new born Jesus
I’m so superficial
Like my Brother Thom

Call me hypo-nervic
’cause I see rainbows
Rainbows full of Blackness
There ain’t no sun in the sky
Wishing I could touch it
It would send me falling
Like a blue umberella
Thats been put up in the house

Cow smiles, makes me happy
Bitch just hits me back
Asking me to explain
but I don’t know who I am
Cross me on the roadside
Don’t you sit and watch me
say you understand me
but you’ll miss me when I’m gone

Asking me to leave you
I can’t say goodbye
hope i see you sometimes
maybe we can share our love
why do you want to save me
try to free yourself
my heads going to explode
and its just to save my health

Ring of Fire

As I look outside my window
I see cloudbursts in the sky
No-one told me they would explode
No-one told me I would dieStep inside my ring of fire
You can hold me if you want
As the flames rise squeeze me tighter
Then you scream because you need more

You can’t see me when the wind blows
You can’t look into my eyes
All the trees are moving softly
Set in motion by my crys

Steel away my sweet red cherry
Hold it up so you can laugh
Give it to your fellow soul mate
If you keep it it won’t last

Rape me with your hands of silver
Press then hard to brake my heart
Carry me up to see the sun rise
Let me fall when you get tired

Step inside my ring of fire
You can hold me if you want
As the flames rise squeeze me tighter
Then you scream because you need more

Blue Sky Fell

Blue Sky Fell

 

As the man
Stepped outside his door
The blue sky fell down
As he smoked
A cigarette
His eyes became red

When his wife
Did scream out loud
A baby came out
Its face
Was strawberry red
His mother was dead

The man
Held up his son
Raised him to the clouds
The rain
Fell down on him
Hot rain on cold skin

As the man
Stood broken with pain
The blue sky fell down
As he smoked
A cigarette
His eyes became red.

Christain Relic Hope Song

Christian Relic Hope Song

I see your sad face
Looking straight at me
You don’t smile no more
You’re lonely
I see your big blue eyes
Looking greyer
All the pain you felt
You need to feel safer.

If you open up your heart
And you let the people in
You may find me

I see the blind man
Holds his hands down by his side
He tries to make it safe
Until the day he dies
If he put those shaking hands
Right out in front of him
He might just find a world
That wants to let him in

If you open up your heart
And you let the people in
You may find me

I see my king upon a cross
He’s crying a cold tear
If he looked up to the sky
He might just face his fear
I know the devils feeling blue
Can’t get no-body new
So he’s fighting a new cause
He ain’t fighting Christ the lord

If you open up your heart
And you let the people in
You may find me
