Lyrics
FEELS LIKE YESTERDAY
August feels like yesterday
Summer feels like miles away
Money is just borrowed time
Everyone is trigger-happy
Patience now is last in line
August feels like yesterday
Feels like summer’s ending now
A nightly chill
It makes me want to turn away
Saw you, on a sunny day in May
Told me that you had to go away
Sometimes, I wish you could have stayed
Knowing you we’ll meet again
I think I saw you yesterday
August feels like yesterday
Feels like summer’s ending now
A nightly chill
It makes me want to turn away
MOTHER’S DAY
In the womb we see the light at the end
When we’re out we wonder, “Will I be there again?”
‘Cause we’re going through this life – we’re anonymous, searchin’ for an alias
For a way to penetrate this darkness
Do we seek the womb every moment of our being?
Looking for that place of comfort, silently sleeping
Soundly in the safety of an underwater sanctum
Suspended animation with these thoughts like phantoms
When we die do our lives flash before our eyes?
Is the last thing we see that tunnel of light?
And the outside sky makes us partially blind
From the cold heat of the night we like to hide
We emerge from the darkness
With a tear in our eye
We come full circle
We go back down the tunnel of light
A mother’s womb will set you free, make you breathe
Make you see, make you be, make you bleed
It all begins with a reaction, in fractions, a rhythm
A nation born of intermittent contractions
We’ll go through life, by and by, fail and try
And when our time is chimed - Slow but sure
We dive
Into the blueness leave the corpus
And the light at the end of the tunnel is bliss
We emerge from the darkness
With a tear in our eye
We come full circle
We go back down the tunnel of light
It ends where we began
It ends where we began
Back in the fetal position I cry
Back in the fetal position I die
We emerge from the darkness
With a tear in our eye
We come full circle
We go back down the tunnel of light
It ends where we began
There’s a river
And a tree
Look a cloud
It passes
How were we born
Where will we go
What to think
How to know
Evangeline
Where did you go
Evangeline
Are you swimming in
There’s a field
And a tree
Look someone’s coming
It’s me
Why were we born
Why do we go
What’s an I
How to grow
I try to transform
Even though I can’t be borne
Some go; some remain
Things don’t feel the same
Up from the ashes
And into the noon
The grass is growing
Way too soon
I went to the place
That I was before
The people had changed
As had the core of me
I read a story in the Village Voice called “Why the World is Fucked”
With climate change and oil wars while ices turn to slush
While the brokers up in corporate will collect the dividends
Isaiah
Isaiah
Is this the second coming that you once spoke of?
Isaiah
Isaiah
Is this your messiah?
So the fate of humankind is on the backs of billionaires
Will they see the light, do what’s right? Will they even care?
A rush to save the world in their new Manolo Blanics
The corporate messiah is certified organic
The funny thing my friend, I don’t know if to laugh or cry
When the waters drink
NEW!! OCT8PUS MERCHANDISE!!
If George Lucas and the Star Wars movies have taught us anything, it's that merchandising is the real way to success!! Fuck artistic accomplishments - just sell a few Yoda lunchboxes and live off the royalties!!
Check out our awesome Zazzle page filled with useless (and somewhat ugly) Oct8pus crap designed by us!! You will love it!!
