Lyrics:
The Berry Goan was away for a few months
He went on a 'few months away'
He ate berry's too
and peanut butter
and fruit
he's a person who likes everything
he even eats light bulbs and things like that
even the pictures and things
Oh the Berry Goan
The Berry Goan Went uhm
to America
and he went every where each day
and even schools
and homes (laughs)
and leaks out water of cups
Oh the Berry Goan
The Berry Goan was
going everywhere
eating his popsicles
and he was visiting people
and he also loved people
He was was good and good
but he also ate people (laughs)
Oh the Berry Goan

Lyrics:
Drift through the days
and all through the years
never aware the culling of my soul
sift through the nights holding you near
all the while digging a hole
The promises we made
were beyond what we knew
still hand in hand we ran
to escape what we were
watching youth fade
we become what we do
when we divide there's more to explore

I Awake

Lyrics:
The spasms of life unfold
Once more
and seize upon the essence of what I do
It twists the details of the mundane
until the fruit of despair is ripe
I awake far too late
What I didn't know does me no good now
Anoint the mind with an unknown grace
I bleed for something
I spite myself
What is the worth of a man unmade
I cannot believe I never understood
I awake far too late
What I didn't know does me no good now
Forgive myself
Put it to rest
still, it will creep back and steal me again
I cannot escape
I quit trying
I wonder how I manage to have so much

Lost In Time

Lyrics:
Lazy Gravy
is driving me crazy
I'm somnambulant, baby
all dreamy and hazy
Its a roll-over ditty
that's sweaty and pretty
'Come when you want to',
then pass out city
Find a line to walk
and signs that talk to me
and chime for Jaques ennui
to rock in time (1,2,3).
You mustn't gawk, Lucy.
Bustin' a rock, you free.
Lustful shot from me
a hustle, pop, 'Whee!'
Go slack and get kind
Get back
Feel my
smackity smack
In a funky grind
let go get sacked
As the chemicals bind and jack your mind
what a way, lady
to fade as the weighty day unwinds
A soothing trade
A smooth behind
You got the love, girl
and I give you mine
The meter's not whack
the rhymes been hijacked
A free flow of consciousness
lost in time.

Lyrics:
The radio's calling me
I'm sorry I have to go
The radio's calling me
I cannot talk now
The radio's calling me
There's a new station
The radio's calling me
I really have to go
Stop by later
when you want to listen
The radio's calling me
I'm sorry I have to go
Your cell phone is bugging me
It's always right there now
Your cell phone is bugging me
It feels like it's haunting me
Please can't you turn it off
Please won't you go away
Your cell phone is bugging me
I'm sorry its bringing me down
Stop by later
when you want to listen
Your cell phone is bugging me
Please won't you go away
So nice to see you again
At last we are alone
It's so nice to see you again
Now that your phone is gone
The radio's calling us
It wan't us to be here now
The radio's calling us
Come let's listen
So glad you came by
to hear the radio
The radio's callingI'm sorry we have to go
