What's the point of trying to be?
Everything's important to me.
What's the point of calling it home?
Everything that I ever owned, just watch it go now
Run free, run free from me you can
Run free, run free from me
Where's the fun in missing the point?
Talking: all I hear is the noise,
What's the point of having to fight?
The reason's why we're holding so tight, just pass it by now
Run free, run free from me
Run free, run free from me
Olly olly oxen free!
Jump right out please let me see
Olly olly oxen free!
Jump right out please let me see
Run free, run free from me you can
Run free, run free from me

Oh Man

Miss the more, paint the floor
With broken doors, oh man. . .
And some odd night, they might fight
But who was right? Oh Man. . .
Fair was used, to tap my bruise
But I don't choose, oh man. . .
And something weak, I might eat
But in my teeth, oh man. . .
But they're bound not to take it once you prove
But they're all about to fake it like it's you
Oh man. . .
Love is long, rolls the wrong
But I've got songs in my hands!
'Cuz they do hate, so I don't wait
I'll fill that space, oh man. . .
Oh man. . .
Oh man. . .
Oh man. . .
Oh man. . .

Bearfeet

I'm standing in the water with my bare feet
As a child smiling wider than everything
And someone else's daughter standing next to me,
Didn't know what was coming shouldn't have said a thing.
Dreaming down the oxygen again.
I'll hold my breath.
I'll hold it in.
I'm moving to the mountains all in my head,
Make peace with the river float under my bed
And I'll lay there by moonlight I'll cry for the death
Of my interest in living through sickness I've met.
Keeping with the shape of things to come:
I'll circle it in
A circle it is
I'm putting on my bare feet
I'm putting on my bearfeet again
I'm putting on my bearfeet again
I'm putting on my bearfeet again
I'm putting on my bearfeet again
I'm putting on my bearfeet again

Matter fact the mistake was tuggin' at the membrane. They set aside the insane. Matter fact the same. A siren means a memory, a dabble in telepathy. Trading all that energy, got the mind to see it blessing me. Cycle 'round the gospel town. The ghost was found beneath the sound and she sings, "We are not bound. You can be found"
Climbing up the billboard tree from there we'll see the morning breathe. The rocks, the trees and muddy creaks. Got rainy nights for mountain dreams. Cycle 'round the gospel town. The ghost was found beneath the sound and she sings, "We are not bound You can be found"
Matter fact the mistake
Matter fact the same
Matter fact the mistake
Matter fact the same (was tuggin' at the membrane)

The Big Sound

Reach from the bottom to the ceiling
speak through illusion that you're feeling
and breathe though you try hard not to like it.
Peace: it only breaks in once you bite it.
So once I'm there I'm not taking any chance.
Repeat the Love that just slips right through my hands
and the truth is I'm still making up that plan.
Something 'bout the big sound just sits so well with me
and all the doubt I found out, it's like waking from a dream.
Think for the one's who really need it.
Sink if you're wishing to retrieve it.
Free: that's the place you want to be in
and blink. It's good to think before you're thinking.
So once I'm there I'm not taking any chance.
Repeat the Love that just slips right through my hands
again and again and again and again and again

How?
You've got someone on your mind always something at the time.
And you've got pictures on your eyes, but only visions of the night.
Always something, looked like nothing to me
Might not be one thing
Must just be everything
I heard the truth it's all for you!
But they've been poisoning the fruit
If there's room for one, there's room for two!
They made a fountain of good news
And through the Autumn Hydro-Carbon light
Came a song and left us all behind
aaaooohh
I saw a film fall out of frame, it left its will with all our pain.
You share the love or play (were not) insane
Or make it stop it's all the same.

Hallelujah and Goodnight

How?
Hallelujah and goodnight
Take care
Play fair
And if my love goes unsaid
Play dead
Stay red
Hallelujah and goodnight
Where you'd go
Someone knows
Ah they fooled ya with goodbyes?
Yeah, that's right
They're all mine.
The feeling I get
Won't help you forget
Please not too upset
It's nothing I guess
And once you think it
Then it's done
You can't run
Here's the sun
Of all the millions
I thought of one
Maybe some
Maybe some. . .
The feeling I get
Is something I met
While we was a mess
It's nothing I guess
it's nothing I guess
It's nothing I guess
Ah they fooled ya with the right?
Took the light
Rolled their eyes
Hallelujah and goodnight
Or goodbye
The feeling I get
Might have just one end
Please not too upset
It's nothing I guess
it's nothing I guess
It's nothing I guess
