"Wino of the Red is Stained"

Hello Ellis, welcome to the rows of red and green
Open up your mind and leave all reason far behind

Empower

Your aura shines just like a fire that is soon to dim
Here comes your prophet now
Just take a drink, we'll show you how

Empower

One glass and you will learn
the future stories soon to come
and when you get to three
you'll find the paths that set you free

Empower

The wino of the red is stained

"Hang Me High"

there's an ocean we could sail outside the far reef
there's a story i could tell if you would let me
but if the land you come from won't let you listen
take your pen in hand and cut me from this narration
high, hang me high...

it's the story of a lad with a tambourine
he did shake it when the vessel came to higher seas
his mother warned him of the perils in the underworld
how he tried to fair, i doubt that you would even care

please forgive me if i haven't offered a glass or two
understand this man's been shaking tambourines for you
so mush for us to find out in the open beautiful sea
but if you prefer the coast find me a swinging post

"Miracle"

Uncle Keith is dying
He needs a new heart
He's got to wait in line
Aunt betty is trying to learn to cope with it
She prays that if it's time to go
He will have no regrets

A miracle
A miracle
A miracle
She is looking for

Rob left Connie after many years in the vow
He needed some time
Connie can't stop crying
It's almost two years now
She prays and prays and weeps to wail
Yet God has given to no avail

Chorus

Sister Lanna wonders
As she looks at her new born
Pretty blue eyes
Her boyfriend wouldn't marry
And left the two alone
How can she raise this little one
With no father and no home

Chorus

"It's a Crazy Thing"

Travelin' through life
There's a lot of bumps
And dips I always
Seem to fall I into

Climbing out of only to
Get hit by some
Supermarket produce
Carrying diesel
Eighteen wheeler

Everything can hit you
At once its all how you look at it
Everything can hit you at once
Just smile
It's a crazy thing

I'm trying my best to
Get the sam hill heck
Out of trouble before it
Creeps up and finds me

I've got some poor
Unlucky bummed out
Over worked sick and tired angel
Beggin' not to have to help me

"Ave"

Move to the balance next to mind
Make it so i can hear
Your comfort in my sould
You are the ghost of all that is holy

Ave Ave Ave Ave Ave
Ave Verdum Corpus
(Hail the Holy Body)

Don't leave me in desire
There is a vessel in need of healing
It's been swung from the gallow
it's seen more than it has cared to

Ave Ave Ave Ave Ave
Ave Verdum Corpus

"The Bomb"

The judgement and the jury
Are waiting for the bomb to fall
The preacher and the teacher
Have all felt the call

The Bomb

It will hit you high
It will hit you low
From your body to your head
You'll want to stand and scream
It's a wonderful thing
But you'll be on your face instead

The Bomb
Oh, here comes the bomb

Pythagoras and the Mathmatist
Have got a theorem for a serum
But the baby that flies
In the Aegean sky
Has got nobody to steer him

"Beg and Kick"

wanderin' around bumpin' heads
with the bars on the cage
Scratch your name in the long
round thing like it were a page
you win so big and you lose so big
and you messed it up again

you beg and kick
you kick and you beg
beggin' please
I want some

On your knees you'd fight to find
some enlightened understanding
fallin' harder down for the things
you had a hand in, give me a
highway to drive or give me Death

you beg and kick
you kick and you beg

(you're sloppy sick when you beg and you kick)
