Our Father, Which art in Heaven Hallowed be thy name Thy kingdom come Thy will be done On Earth as it is in Heaven Give us this day our daily distraction And help us work together And not fight In your garden paradise Forgive us our debts As we forgive our debtors Lead us not into temptation But deliver us from evil For thine is the Kingdom And the power and the glory Forever and ever ever and ever ever and ever Amen The lord is my shepherd I shall not want he maketh me to lie down in green pastures He leadeth me beside still waters He restoreth my soul He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear evil: for thou art with me Whichever happens after this If it's darkness or eternal bliss I trust that you'll guide us And show us the right way And until that day Until that day Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life And I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever

On the way back home From the Chinese restaurant We stopped in to a little corner bar A few drinks later I start to slur and there you are Leaning up against the wall Those neon signs and the passing cars You said, 'I don't feel like pictures' I said in a blur, in a blur "But the way the light falls, dear Be still the Moon and the stars Let me save this moment To remember the way you were" Just then The sky had fallen Blazing like a thousand suns Fire, crashes, sirens, smoke And we had to run After about half a mile You slowed down to a stop I turned around To savor the view You asked, 'what is it now?!' I said, 'The way the light falls, dear You move me, body and soul After this is over, We'll have to take another stroll' What's that Oh no And the aliens are here And their tractor beam draws near Don't panic so soon It's a balloon But the way the light falls, dear Be still the Sun and the Moon Let me save this moment Before there's a typhoon You got back up and caught your breath You made your point with out a single word I stepped back Took out my camera Clicked a few shots Oh well

Did you leave the light on I'm sure it wasn't me Why're you getting angry Have your senses taken leave Your brain is like a pinball And I've got a quarter in the machine I can have you sectioned Before you count to three Count to three Don't tempt me Walking through the forest Last hot day in fall Where was I the other night Can't say that I recall How dare you ask me questions Don't you cause a scene Got you acting crazy Yet still I'm so serene So serene That's my sorcery I pull the strings

Any way I say it It's the wrong way For people you don't like: Open the bomb bays You'll hurt someone If there's money to be made When I testify in court You say it's hearsay Yeah, but anyways When you buy a first class ticket Get treated like a stowaway The waiter brings you bisque But you ordered consumme! ...You couldn't tell a Shiraz From a Cabernet Money can't buy you taste Just cliches Yeah but anyways Going down the road to Mexico With my old trusty SAAB Looking at the shoulder See you on the side There's a white cloud of smoke Coming out your Rolls Looking rather glum Sticking out your thumb Now you're on my side When you want a ride Where you want to go? Turn up my radio Yeah but anyways

He thought someday It would all make sense That he could relax In the present tense He thought his ship Would sail to shore But it's lost at sea Forevermore He thought he'd stand In the king's court Giving counsel Reciting law The jester's Rolling on the floor The sentries point him With swords to the door He said "Unhand me There's nothing You plebs need to defend There must be Some misunderstanding Let me Back in again" He came back With 40 men The fool wants to take revenge They cut down the night watch And killed the king While he slept He reached down To pick up the king's crown Ambition makes a fool of a man But he has to take his chances While he can And he said "Heavy is the crown What in the world Have I done? Now there's an angry mob Waiting for me and you"

So, you say you can't go on You feel you don't belong And society's a bore...fine You are rightly in the wrong When the world is this far gone You don't owe anyone For the right To be alive The fear you fight Is just out of your sight You have To heal The part That they want to steal Then you won't be bothered By the silly New World Order And you can live your life the way you like Cause karma comes in many forms And they know what is waiting for them Get up Dust off Give it all you got They used to say 'All you need is love' You know that they're right When you have it, 'Baby you're a rich man' ...I guess your record skipped on that side And round and round and round you go The fear you fight is only in your mind We're here to find the tunnel in the light

Girl, you've been gone for so very very long Glad you didn't find me When I think of you I sing a little song Army Of Me [Bjork] I knew it had gone sour When you'd kick and scream and pout And insult me when I held the door I'm letting you know When you demand To fall under stride I won't Girl, you were high and so very very low When you found me First you were shy Buried in yourself Out came the harpy Then you went out with other guys 6 ways to Sunday I stayed at our home Thinking of a plan To make you happy It had to stop Ready or not Once there were two Now I'm all by myself And when we were together I thought it would never end A solid bond to sever A promise to amend What will kill us off, The virus or the bomb? I couldn't care at all at all Bless your heart Bless your Soul Bless your heart I wish I would have known Girl, you were high and so very very low When you found me First you were shy Buried in yourself Out came the harpy I was out on the street Without a thing to do But I'm glad I left Your stupid ass alone

There are so many people Lost in the world Trying hard to do What someone told them to do When they find out they've got nothing to lose They'll come unglued Like me and you Mmm, so artsy baby All in leather and dancing mean Not going to cause no trouble Just want to be a hipster in your scene Saw you with a typewriter in the park You were clicking out fan fiction after dark While rocking a tank top and a scarf In early March Sipping a chagga tea with whipped cream I want to Buy all your paintings Of Star Wars characters And Kittens in dumpsters Cubist fruit And the like For you I'd quit my law firm Sell my mansion Trade my Porsche for a Vespa Give up meat and be a vegan again Probably not Still there are so many people Out in the world Paying their dues Cause they don't have a clue When they find out they had Choices to choose They'll conclude they've been used Then they stand bewildered Waiting for more orders to fill But they don't see Their chains have all been cast off Then you tell them to underground They don't understand What you're on about For them to loosen up It's Birkenstocks with black socks Come on Walking into the Goodwill store And you're there Talking to your friends Without a care I photobombed your Polaroid selfie Cause damn the way it seems Want us to be the picture in the meme

Racing up the cobblestone stairs Incense hanging in the air Witching hour come too fast Locked out of the midnight mass Damned if I do And damned if I don't The wind's picking up Chilled to the bone Guess I'll kneel down here on the grass Clasp my hands and do as you ask But what good is my Prayer from the darkness? All of my life I tried to do right Biding my time alone The demons outside, they claw and they fight Dragging me down to hell But I always knew that there was good in this world I wasn't strong, all but lost hope Then I laid eyes on you Can't you see that I'm a prisoner here? Only you can open the door You're the answer to my Prayer from the darkness Oh Lord, please hear my words All I want is to be with her And her easy smile and sundrenched hair A mind that would make Einstein scared She helps people fight their fear With kind words and a sympathetic ear She seems nice on the outside... I was just hypnotized Should lightning bolts Strike through my heart I wouldn't be surprised with my Prayer from the darkness

You can put on your prettiest face And hide from the world today Or you can shapeshift for them, baby It doesn't matter, either way Reptilian girl I don't care what you do I just love the wisdom in you The other night while taking out the trash Walking from the car You turned scaly and green in a flash Since then I'm feeling the changes in me Pretty baby There's something you don't want us to see But I'm telling you it's all ok Reach to me psychically You can play all your mind control games To try to keep people from running away Or you can be honest with them, baby There's no shame In showing some pain Reptilian girl You've got some interesting moves But I like it when you feel your groove Don't want no cricket burgers It's not really my thing At least we both love Chik-Fil-A I know we are from different worlds ...Now for the ground rules Here, you can do whatever you want Just don't hurt anyone
