- Novim's
Nightmare
-
- Once I had a dream, that worried
me
- Like a drunken guillotine
- Lingering just above my head
- Why, why, why, why?
- Why was I born "The Nine"
- Cursed repeatedly
- Who would know if I should die.
- No one needed me
- Doo doo doo doo doo
-
- Dark and empty was the place to which
I'd come
- Cold and silent was the house my name
was on
- Nine rooms and a tomb in every
one
- S'dark and empty was the place to which
I'd come
-
- All at once my bones began to
change
- I was tall and young again,
- Sweet as rain falling on the snow
- Who, who, who, who?
- Who is he, who am I, and
- What laid in between?
- How can I say goodbye? No one let me
in
- Can't see no need for Nine no
more
- Now it's too late to open the
door.
-
-
- Majik of
Majiks
-
- What kind of power,
- What kind of demon is this
- Who kicks me out in shame,
- With every word he says
- What kind of majik of majiks.
-
- What kind of war is this,
- That I can't fight no more
- That leaves me weaponless,
- And nails me to the floor
-
- What kind of power, of powers.
- What kind of man--
- Can make me turn and see
- The way I really am.
- Oh tell me who, oh who?
-
- Where have my brothers gone,
- Why I don't see them about
- They're all around him now.
- And keeping me out
- What kind of madness, of madness
- "Go on and let him in, he's only asking
for
- A simple job to do and nothing more"
they said.
- But looking back
- I see this stranger had the key
- To any door he wished, with his eyes I
say.
-
- What kind of majiks, of majiks
- What kind of man--
- Can make me turn and see the way I
really am.
- Oh tell me who, oh who?
- "Go on and let him in, he's only asking
for
- A simple job to do and nothing more"
they said.
- "Go on and let him in."
- "Go on and let him in, he's only asking
for
- A simple job to do and nothing
more."
- But looking back
- I see this stranger had the key
- To any door.

-
- Drywood
-
- You've got to learn, to brighten up your
ways
- Kick out your dull padded life
- There's much to know, and no doors in
space
- They were only mirrors you imagined in
your mind
- Now that you've got no place to
go
- And you stand alone
- Know that there's just one place to
be
- And it's in your soul, oh
- Like drywood takes to fire the truth
will come to you
- Like streams that seek the ocean they
will find ways through
- Like morning meets the moon, my love
will guide the way
- It's time to wipe your eyes not, and
awake
- I've come to take you over, there's much
for you to do
- I've come to take you over, then it's up
to you
-
- Be like the light, in the shadows
- Throw down your mask and be real
- Don't wish to win, and don't mind to
lose
- That was just a cycle like a squirrel in
a wheel
- Now that you've got no place to look
- And you stand alone
- Know that's there's just one place to
be
- And it is your home, oh
- Like fish that seek the water, the truth
will come to you
- Like leaves upon the soil, they will
find ways through
- Like flowers seek the sun, my love will
guide the way
- It's time to wipe your eyes now, and
awake.
-
- You say you're really with me but you
only follow me around
- How much you love me yes,
- But I don't want the kind of love
- I have to sit down and count
-
- You think you're free and lucky but
you're stuck behind a prison wall
- How well you know yourself
- But I see something else within you
- That you don't see at all
- You may give up your number, disowning
all your wealth
- You may sell all the pieces, but you'll
- Never never never give up
- Yourself, oh no no no.
-
- Like drywood takes to fire the truth
will come to you
- Like streams that seek the ocean they
will find ways through
- Like morning meets the night's stars, my
love will guide the way
- It's time to wipe your eyes not, and
awake
- I've come to take you over, there's much
for you to do
- I've come to take you over, then it's up
to you.

-
- Banapple
Gas
-
- Banapple gas, oh Banapple gas
- Everybody's sniffing it Banapple
gas
- O-o alas!
- All the world is stuck on it Banapple
gas.
-
- Does it do you good, make you
better
- Set you healthy when you're
bed-tied?
- Well I don't know if it makes you
well...
- But it must be healthy
- 'Cause it don't smell.
-
- Banapple gas, oh Banapple gas
- Everybody's living on Banapple
gas
- O-o alas!
- All the world is grooving on Banapple
gas.
-
- Do you know what goes inside to make
it
- What kind of strange spice makes it
right?
- Well I don't know what kind of
spice
- But it must be healthy 'cause it's
sterilized.
-
- Banapple gas...Banapple gas
- Give me more Banapple gas
- O-o...o-o-o
-
- Does it help you smile more to wake
up
- Make you happy just to be alive?
- Well I don't know if it makes you
happy...
- But it must be healthy
- 'Cause it's certified.
-
- Banapple gas, oh Banapple gas
- All the world is breathing Banapple
gas
- O-o alas!
- No one knows what's inside it Banapple
gas
- Oh Banapple gas.
-
-
- Land o'
Free Love & Goodbye
-
- Oh the trees grow higher than the
mountains
- In the land of free love and
goodbye
- The river's ever flowing, fishing
growing
- And the God I love loves me.
-
- In the sky rides a gleam of white
horses
- And the glimmer clean in your eye
- The bird of dawn is bringing
- The simpleness of singing
- And the God I love loves me.
-
- Oh the trees grow higher than the
mountains
- In the land of free love and
goodbye
- The river's ever flowing, fishing
growing
- And the God I love loves me.
-
- And the Sun lies all around
- And everything is as it must be
- And winter lies underground
- And the God I love loves me.
-
-
- Jzero
-
- Jzero:
- Well I ain't got nothing.
- But it don't worry me
- I came to this life like a free-walking
tree
- No need to be tied, no need to
be--
- They call me Jzero
-
- Well I ain't got nothing
- And to nothing I belong
- You won't find me right,
- Yet you won't find me wrong
- If you think about me,
- Don't thing too long--
- Jus' call me Jzero.
-
- Well I don't house no past
- Never carried a key
- My sun doesn't rise from under the
sea
- There is only one morning
- Eternally...dee d'lee d'lee
-
- Polygons:
- Well he says he hasn't got
nothing
- But he seems to possess less
- He waltzed through the door
- Like a tapdance with death
- What kind of fool is he?
-
- Jzero:
- No need to guess, jus' call me
Jzero.
-
- Well I don't eat a lot
- I do work for nothing so
- If there's a job I can fill the
gap
- I don't need a room, bed or pillow
oh
- Once you've decided to trust me with
time
- You won't need to look back...
- A doo de doo de doo
-
- Well I ain't got nothing,
- But it don't worry me
- I came to this life like a free-walking
tree
- No need to be tied, no need to
be--
- They call me Jzero.
-
-
- Home
-
- Home on a kite we fly,
- Home on a breeze we blow
- Eyeing the folks below and
- Watching everybody run,
- Each one heading for a different
place
- Watching everybody hide,
- Each behind a different face
-
- Home where the days are long
- Back where the people are free,
