Ain't Buyin' It

Show me your miles and I'll take your advice
Try to shake my head from the roll of the dice
The circles that we walk in expect us after time, so you got behind,
I don't mind waiting
Oh no, I feel we've been here before
Oh no, I told you a hundred times I don't need what you have
Giving all my time to the man but I can't quit
Every day I get so close I can taste it
Chasing down a dream ain't so hard till you try it,
when everyone's selling what you ain't buying
Oh no, I feel like we've been here before
Oh no, I told you a million times I don't need what you have

Mother Milkweed
03:21

In this chase we are forever bound
In this chase we are forever bound
Like the fox the hunter and the hound
In this chase we are forever bound
When you whisper you hush the breeze
When you whisper you hush the breeze
Still looking for that mystery
When you whisper you hush the breeze
The sun shines in the morning when she comes
Come mother Milkweed spread your seed
Come mother Milkweed spread your seed
Bringing back all the kings and queens
Come mother Milkweed spread your seed

Or Just Be
04:32

Night slips away in the morning mist
Pale light in the east
In this new day rising will you be just?
Or Just be...
We're all just racing towards the sun
Chasing our prey until we're done
We're all just praying to the son
Chasing out words till they become
Our machines will cleanse your blood of life
And drain it away
No room for god or fairytales, not these days
We're all just racing 'round the sun
Chasing our prey until we're done
We're all just praying to the son
Chasing our words till they become
Always running out of time these days
But never in
As below as above as above as below
Again begin
We're all just racing round the sun
Chasing our prey until we come
We're all just praying to the son
Chasing our words till they become

Your Longest Day
03:39
|

You lie awake alone at night listening to the water rise
Dream your ship is coming in
You know they all rise with the tide
But she keeps calling you back
Calling you back to her
Sweet familiar whispers from the other side keep calling you back
To your longest Day
The Mother drank the flood to save her children
Now they've all grown strong
But promises were made next time we're all gonna burn
Come down from the mountain, blow across the moors
Tell me you're the rising sun and I'm yours
And I'll beg you to believe in the will of the mystery
Hang it from your heart plant it in your dreams
Just come on back to your longest Day
