When we storm the gates we sing this song Vicente and I we hum along Yeah, I want you to know that I love you I want you to know that I love you so With our blood and sweat We pour on stones That we use to bury all their bones
2.
Comrade Weather you’re a blitzkrieg You come in May and you don’t leave Comrade Weather you’re my best friend You define the town, the city that I live in We’re all just running around And it’s a fine, fine thing To get out of the heat for awhile But you’ll be coming back again Cause we’re all boomerangs, man And this town is right around the bend With Comrade Weather my friends I can tell my friend from foe The one with sweat on his brow Is the one I don’t want to know Careening down the old 99 Like you’ve done thousands of times And you’ll be crossing back, crossing back that county line And when you’re in the cold And the haze has cleared Then you’ll realize It’s the same as here And the heat coming off the pavement Looks like love at first site to me. Love at first sight to me And the sweat stings my eyes Like love at first sight man, Yeah, like love at first sight.

We’re from the outside We’re from the outside We’re from the outside in We paint expedience We paint expedience We’re from the outside in Dollar bills Painting dollar bills Painting what you will It’s a telephone It’s a telegraph It’s from the outside in From them to you now Take their cue now It’s all the same So what’s the difference to you and me? It’s a transaction now It’s a hand shake now Let’s all curate it now It’s all facsimile What’s found art anyway? Who really has a say? I found it And it was oxidized for free
4.
Paper tiger meet the stray man A sickle and some fire do the best you can Your life’s work or so you say Do it some other way Stray man, gnash your teeth That bitter taste lasts for weeks The paper tiger has got you down Straw and chaff flying all around The one who gets away is the one who gets his way The one who gets away The one who gets his way, alright now The one who gets away Is the one who has his say Paper tiger look up at the sky The last thing you’ll see before you die The straw man has run you through Sawdust blood pouring over you And we don’t have a choice
5.
It’s a little different in my head The drums are more syncopated And the guitars are all louder They’re bigger they can’t find their mark But that’s the problem with translation When you’ve got something coming out Cause it’s all a little different But it’s alright man, it’s ok If it’s a little different in my head It’s a little different in my head But the frequency isn’t all dead The ones and the zeros they make up their parts They make it all work but It doesn’t matter It’s just a problem of translating THE SOUND from one to another from another to another to another to another to another it’s alright, it’s ok if it’s a little different in my head
6.
You’re all saucer eyed All black under mine Just a day in the life If you’d have died there THE SOUND would have died to THE SOUND would have died with you The blood goes in The blood goes out Mixes it all about The blood goes in The blood goes out Mixes it Repeat tomorrow This is how you spend your time On the bottom of Potrero Hill Smoking cigarettes with folks in nightgowns And this is how you spend your time On the landing of Laguna Honda Selling cigarettes to wheel chaired inmates This is the best part of my day my friend On the bottom of Potrero Hill On the landing of Laguna Honda

Gave me a compass so I’d never lose way Gave me a compass it was military grade A foxhole’s where she found it Landmines all surrounded Steady as she goes North Star always knows My compass spins like a 45 There’s the needle, the camel passes it by She pulled it from the mire So I’d always know where to find her The needle’s reading 12 o’clock And I’m headed straight for home Cause I know that’s where I will be to find you Headed straight for home Where we’ll be all alone.

This is This, this, this is the kiss My Joan of Arc on a pyre Above her head a tongue of fire This, this, this is the kiss Inhale/ Exhale Tell a friend tell a lover When it starts, when it’s over This this this is the kiss Inhale/Exhale This is the kiss
9.
A harmony whose equal was never heard in hell Can you hear the sound of a harmony whose equal was never heard in hell? All is for the best in the world. And it screams like a harmony. the tiny sound of clinging to oneself the blood in my ears the ringing in my ears makes for a harmony a harmony it’s a harmony THE SOUND is what brings us together like a Harmony. It fills the cracks and creases It gives and never ceases It promises to never leave us And it’s a harmony Yeah, it’s a harmony.
