Living In Awe lyrics - Cloud Cult

If life is a story we’re meant to live through,
then both me and you are the pages.
I’ll tell you a tale, and most of it’s true,
you see, I came here for you through the ages.

Oh, my love. Oh, my hope,
the Great Mystery cannot be solved.
There will be joy and grief,
but live it all in awe.

To The Great Unknown lyrics - Cloud Cult

Called your name, and you formed out of the emptiness
Called your name, and I swear this time I’ll be my best.
Called your name, and I felt home sweet home.
May you find grace when overtaken by the tempest.
May you find humor in the cynic and the pessimist.
May you find faith in the Great Unknown.
Lay it all down… in a calm, safe space.
And if the dream doesn’t come… just wait

We were made to walk through fire in our dance shoes
We were made to sail upon the meteors.
We were made to love the heck out of our bones.
God gave us words, they were “I love you, please, and thank you”.
God gave us thirst, and it’s a hunger for the universe.

Oh, no, no, no. I’ll never let you go.
Sometimes this life’s a lonely road, but you gotta find it on your own.
So build a happy ship, cuz this livin’ is a trip.
You gotta sing the kind of song that you like singing
...to the Great Unknown.

God gave you brains, now don’t go and drown in your own thinkings.
God gave you hands so you could pick up your broken pieces.
God gave you feet so you can find your own way home.
Let’s run away, just know your troubles tend to follow.
Pack your bags, just know that everything here’s borrowed.
The pathmaker is a trickster, so make your own damn road.

Oh, no, no, no. You never were alone.
Sometimes this life’s a lonely road, but you gotta find it on your own.
So build a happy ship, cuz this livin’ is a trip.
You gotta sing the kind of song that you like singing
...to the Great Unknown.

Days To Remember lyrics - Cloud Cult

If I could change a single memory,
I’d call in sick and spend time with you.
Cuz these are the days to remember.
These are the days to remember.

Turn off the phone and throw away the clock,
and the endless things you think you have to do.
The water’s warm and the sun is shining,
and I just wanna spend some time with you.

If I had a life recorder
that could save the best things I live through.
I would play this over and over,
Yes, I would play this over and over.
If I had a magic boat
that could take me wherever I want it to.
I would sail the whole world over,
but only if it brings me back to you.

If I could change a single memory,
I’d call in sick and spend time with you.
Cuz these are the days to remember.
These are the days to remember.

Come Home lyrics - Cloud Cult

I laid my mind down in the creek,
and watched it float to nowhere.
Now I’m thinking of you everywhere.
I gave my bones back to the trees.
so when you hear the breeze, you...
you know I’ll never leave you.

And though your hand I’ll never get to hold,
Just give me one more chance to say,
“I love my baby so… Come home.”

I gave my skin back to to the prairie.
So in the coldest thunder showers...
You will see me in the flowers.
I gave my soul back to the breeze
So when you‘re feeling down, you...
You‘ll know I’m all around you

And though your hand I’ll never get to hold,
Just give me one more chance to say,
“I love my baby so… Come home.”

I gave my heart back to the galaxies,
So when you look above you.
You know I’ll always love you.

No Hell lyrics - Cloud Cult

Mama said the stars are the universe's eyes
I can feel them watching over me most of the time
We grew up believing we could learn how to fly
We came from the earth, but we belong to the sky

I saw your soul without the skin attached
You've got the guts of a coyote pack
We've been kissed, we've been cut
But we do what needs the doing
We're just rainbows dreaming we're human

Please excuse the lights shooting out of my head
I keep them in a cage but they come out when they see a friend
You must be a friend
You're never really gonna have control of it all
So you best get cool with your chips are gonna fall
We are the sun
And mother's milk
And cuss words
And poetry

And there's no use in running unless you run like heck
The best things we've learned we learned from the wreck
Jesus coming back as a woman this time
Handing out hugs in the clinic line
And someone tell the devil we don't need no hell
We're all pretty good at beating up ourselves

As kids we believed that the angels talked
Everything is magic until you think it's not
It's easy to be thankful for the things you've got
It takes guts to give thanks for the things you've lost

And we grew up believing good wins over bad
So you gave away your heart, but the wolves attacked
But then a bigger heart grew back
Please excuse the words coming out of my mouth
I'm a happy man but there's some things I need to get out
I need to get out

There's no use in running unless you run like heck
The best things we've learned we learned from the wreck
Jesus coming back as a woman this time
Handing out hugs in the clinic line
Someone tell the devil we don't need no hell
We're all pretty good at beating up ourselves

Everything You Thought You Had lyrics - Cloud Cult

Everything you thought you had.
It was only passing through.
Everything you thought you knew
Knew you... better than you do
We were made to watch and wonder.
Though some days I can’t get out of my head.
And I was scared of getting older.

Everything I wished I’d done.
And everything I wish I’d undo.
Everything that broke my heart,
Can’t keep me from loving you.

Pray that inner light gonna make us blind.
Lead me to where I need to be.
We’re not scared to lose our minds.
Cuz that’s when we’ll be what we’re supposed to be.

Everyone here has got a shadow.
And everyone has their share of hurt.
When I’m dead, I’ll be a rainbow.
What you were is what you’re worth.

Pray that inner light gonna make us blind.
Lead me to where I need to be.
We’re not scared to lose our minds.
Cuz that’s when we’ll be what we’re supposed to be.

Time Machine Invention lyrics - Cloud Cult


This is the story of my time machine invention.
It’s not perfect, cuz I’m not that bright.
We walk our days with the best of intentions,
But when I screw things up, I wanna go back and make ‘em right.
Yeah, I’m a believer in mind over matter.
And I’ve made my mind up to travel in time.
Restart the days, and I’ll do it so much better.
I waste so much time a worryin’ I forgot to live my life.

I’m not going anywhere ‘til I’m back to where it was we were before.
I don’t need anything except always needing just a little more.
I run in circles so I can kick me in the pants.
There’s a reason God is doG backwards: we must chase the tail.

The truth is my invention refuses to go backwards.
A tiny glitch I’m sure to figure out.
But I can ride on the moment slowly time travelling forwards
So the next destination is always right now. (All aboard!)

I’ve finally solved the puzzle of my time machine invention.
You see, in the future, this present is the past, so
If you give this moment your fullest attention
We’ll just keep going forwards with no need for going back.

The Pilgrimage lyrics - Cloud Cult


I don’t need to live like that no more.
I have seen the writing on the wall.
I can’t tell you what the ending is
but life is just a pilgrimage.
Don’t let ‘em tell you how to live,
These are the things that you don’t need anymore.

Precious one, you were made for the Pretty Pretty.
Leave it behind and walk out that door.
Precious one, you were made for the Pretty Pretty.
You will become what you were before.
Precious one, you were made for the Pretty Pretty.
This is why you were born.
Precious one, you were made for the Pretty Pretty.
These are the things that you don’t need anymore.

You Never Were Alone lyrics - Cloud Cult

I’ve spoke all of my speakings.
I’ve dreamed all of my dreamings
I’ve believed all there’s to believe in.
Now all I am needing is...

When I’ve screamed all of my screamings
and given up all of my grievings.
I will still love you with all of my being.
Now all I am needing is faith in the Great Unknown.
You never were alone.

Through The Agest lyrics - Cloud Cult

If life is a story we’re meant to live through,
then both me and you are the pages.
I’ll tell you a tale, and most of it’s true,
you see, I came here for you through the ages.

Once there was a wanderer who wandered for you,
And I wandered for you through the ages.
Through rainbows, tornadoes, volcanoes, typhoons...
I made it through to be with you through the ages.
We were born on a lightning bolt, grew up in the ocean salt,
We’ve traveled through ten thousand lives.
So if ever I can’t see the magic around me,
please take my hands off my eyes.

I’m done being stupid and worried and dramatic,
so I lay down my every disguise
So if ever I can’t see the magic around me,
please take my hands off my eyes.

I don’t know where we’re from, but we came here to be.
We came here to be courageous.
I don’t know what’s to came, but I’ll stay beside you.
I’ll stay beside you through the ages.
If life is a story we’re meant to live through,
then both me and you are the pages.

"Love" (2013)

You're The Only Thing In Your Way lyrics - Cloud Cult

Drive baby drive, until your trouble's gone.
Run, baby, run, until it all goes numb.

You are the wind, the flood and the flame.
Nothing here can get in your way.
You've come too far to care what they say.
Now you're the only thing in your way.

Fly, baby, fly, until nothing can get you down.
Sing, baby, sing, until it all comes out.

You are the wind, the flood and the flame.
Nothing here can get in your way.
You've come too far to care what they say.
Now You're the only thing in your way.

Breathe, baby, breathe, until all is calm.
Love, baby, love...

You are the wind, the flood and the flame.
Nothing here can get in your way.
You've come too far to care what they say.
Now You're the only thing in your way.

It's Your Decision lyrics - Cloud Cult

Check in, check in on your emotion.
Are you an angry one, or a feather?
Will you sink today, or let it float away?
It's your decision.
Oh, oh, no.

Back off, back off, I'm discontented.
I don't want to talk about it.
I can't put my finger on it.
It's the strangest thing, when you've tried most everything,
yet something's always missing.
Oh, oh, no.

Leave me alone, I'm going inwards.
I've got work to do disarming land mines.
If I hold it in, I'll just blow up again.
My trigger finger's itching.
Oh, oh, no.

Check in, check in on your emotion.
Are you an angry one, or a feather?
Will you sink today, or let it float away?
It's your decision.
Oh, oh, no.

Complicated Creation lyrics - Cloud Cult

I called up the moon for a little consultation.
Yes, you know that I'm a happy man, but something in me is burning.
I gotta push it, push it out,
So much frustration.

The moon called me back
And said "I'll give you some advice: You gotta live a little lighter,
You gotta breathe a little deeper
You gotta suck it, suck it in.
There's your medication."

If you pray to God for rain,
don't you complain about the lightning.
If your asking for directions,
don't you moan about the distance.
Must you lose it, lose it all?
To find your appreciation.

If you rid of all your baggage you will likely float away.
But you can't know beauty if you don't know pain
Gotta feel it, feel it all.
There's your medication

You know you are as small as the things you let annoy you.
And you know you are gigantic as the things that you adore.
Some days you give thanks.
Some days you give the finger.
It's a complicated creation.

1x1x1 lyrics - Cloud Cult

You don't hear your intuition, cuz it says you aint no follower.
And it says you aint no yellow belly.
And it says you aint no broken horse.
And it says you are here to take the punches, in one by one.
You're here to learn your lessons one by one.
You're here to peel your layers off one by one
by one by one by one by one.

You don't hear your intuition, cuz it says you were blessed with sensitivity.
But it says you can't fly with such a heavy heart.
So it says you gotta do what must be done, so learn to do it with some levity, levity.

You are here to let the cards fall one by one.
You're here to let your walls down one by one.
You're here to peel the layers off one by one by one by one by one by one.

If you keep trying to fill your holes with the next best thing
well, then the next best thing will give you more and more holes.

Yeah, you were better as a simple one, simple one
So peel your layers off one by one by one.
Go peel your layers off one by one by
one by one by one by one by one.

The Calling lyrics - Cloud Cult

The bullets you take don't go unnoticed.
But that fire in your stomach won't just go away.
They are calling you from the grave to see,
there's so much more you're made to be.
Scream it from the top of your lungs, you have a calling.

All our love, and all our pain is gonna make us precious,
if it don't make us insane.
You have a calling.

Good Friend lyrics - Cloud Cult

Oh this life is so strange, you need a sense of humor.
The maker is half caretaker and half joker.
We are not broken ones...just shattered pieces of the same bright sun,
trying to figure out which way to run,
And I can't do this alone.

All I need is a good good friend
To get me through this.
All I need is a good good friend
To help me out
When I'm burning down
When I'm all stressed out
When I'm underground.

Life is a playground, but it takes a lot work.
You better learn to love, or it'll tear you apart,
cuz in the end, we are measured by the size of our heart,
and we can't do this alone.

Some of us are laughing, while some of us are choking
Some of us can't change til every bone has been broken.
All the while the maker just sits there joking, "You never really were alone."

All I need is a good good friend
To get me through this.
All I need is a good good friend
To help me out
When I'm burning down
When I'm all stressed out
Thank you for being around.

Meet Me Where You're Going lyrics - Cloud Cult

Meet me where you're going,
cuz I wanna be going where you are.
Teach me what you're knowing,

cuz I wanna be knowing who you are.

Run away with me, yeah, let's get married.
Will you be the rest of my life?
Every day with you I say "I do",
and it means so much more each time.

I love you and how.
Won't leave you alone.
Will you be my home now?
And I'll be your home.

Pray God protect us.
Pray God for guidance.
Make us selfless and rich in soul.

Cuz when we grow old, Love,
I'll just love you more, Love,
through the sunshine and through the cold.

I'm not afraid, come fire, come rain,
with you here by my side.
I found boundless love for you
when I lost my foolish pride.

Thank you for patience.
Thank you for-giveness.
Thank you for spending this time with me.
Meet me where you're going,
cuz I wanna be going wherever you'll be.

Run away with me, yeah, let's get married.
Will you be the rest of my life?
Every day with you I say "I do",
and it means so much more each time.

Sleepwalker lyrics - Cloud Cult

We are your conscience.
We thought we'd tell you,
you've been sleepwalking
through most of your days.

Your eyes are open,
Your body's moving,
Your lips are speaking,
But you're far from awake.

Where is your passion?
Where is your wonder?
Where is your thankfulness?
You put them away.

Times come to get up,
before you break down.
I know you're on it.

Where is your kid side?
Where is your joyfulness?
Where is your empathy?
Fast asleep.

Where went your moments?
Where went your presence?
Where went your purpose?
Fast asleep.

Times come to get up,

before you break down.
I know you're on it.

It Takes A Lot lyrics - Cloud Cult


It takes a lot of going nowhere, until you find it's not about the place.
It takes a lot of being no one, until you find it's not about the face.

It takes a lot of birth and death, until you ask who's really in control.
It takes a lot of love and pain, until you learn the art of letting go.
Let go go go go.

It takes a lot of hurtful thoughts, until you tame the jerk inside your head.
It takes a lot of feeling lost, until you find you're always where you're led.

It takes a lot of broken heart to wonder why we get what we've got.
But we get what we've got and when it comes to Heart, my friend, you've got a lot.

The Show Starts Now lyrics - Cloud Cult


The physicist and the mystic say there's no such thing as time.
If God is now and everywhere, why's it so hard to find?
I wanna be the guy who lives in the moment, not so lost in my mind.
So I guess my show starts now. My show starts now


Grandma said it don't matter where we go to or come from.
She said, "Worry about what you're made to do not what you're made of."
They say we're made of chaos. I say we're made of love.
And that's why our show starts now. Our show starts now.

Hold your breath for a better day, and you'll never learn how to breathe.
You're afraid of the dark, but that's where you learn to see.
Your no good to the living if you're too afraid to bleed.

And that's why your show starts now Your show starts now.

"Light Chasers" (2010)

The Mission: Unexplainable Stories lyrics - Cloud Cult

We've been searching for our whole lives.
And we have traveled through unexplainable stories.
Swear to God I fought the good fight,
always waiting for the coming of morning.
And I heard the Captain say, I heard the Captain say,
"The more I know, the less I'm knowing."
And I heard the Captain say, I heard the Captain say,
"Activate your force-fields and just keep going..."

The Departure: Today We Give Ourselves To The Fire lyrics - Cloud Cult

Put out your hands, I know it's scary.
Light up your fire, I know it's scary.
It's cold in your ribs, cuz you say they came and burned you down.
Not gonna take it. They can't put your fire out.
We will sing 'til there's nothing left to be sung.
Not gonna take it. They can't put our fire out.
I am alive. I promise I'm a well intentioned explosion.
Here comes the light. Give me that light.
Today we give ourselves to the fire.

The Invocation (P.1) - You'll Be Bright lyrics - Cloud Cult

All the things you'll love,
All the things that may hurt you,
All the things you shouldn't do,
And all the things you want to...
They're calling your name...travel safely.

Every first kiss, every crisis, every heartbreak and every act of kindness...
They're calling your name...travel safely.

Every empire, every monument, every masterpiece and every invention,
They're calling your name...travel safely.

I found stars on the tip of your tongue.
You speak Poltergeist, so do I. So do I.

What comes will come.
What goes will go.
The wind will blow where the wind is blowing.
Let go of where you think you're going.
We'll never know why it flows where it's flowing.

We've always been what we will always be.
I'm so convinced we have to get there, we can part the sea.
So bring the dead to life, turn your blood to wine.
All your life you have waited for this moment to arrive.

And you'll be bright.

The Baby - You Were Born lyrics - Cloud Cult

You were born into a strange world
Like a candle, you were meant to share the fire
I don't know where we come from, and I don't know where we go
But my arms were made to hold you, so I will never let you go
Cuz you were born to change this life
You were born to chase the light
Cuz you were born...

Love your mother, yeah she's a good one
She'll build you armor; keep you warm as a hen
The stars may fall and the rains may pour
But I will love you evermore
Cuz you were born to make this right
Cuz you were born to chase the light
Cuz you were born...

Oh my precious, oh my love, when they come to take me
I will hold you from above
I don't know why we're here, and I don't know how
But I'm here with you now, I am here with you now
Cuz you were born to make this right
Cuz you were born to change this life
Cuz you were born to chase the light
Cuz you were born...

The Lessons - Exploding People lyrics - Cloud Cult

Building up a belly full of bumble bees.
Pushing down the pain like it's a quarantine.
Baby, sing in choir 'til your tongue falls out,
cuz if you hold it all in it'll all fall out.
And one by one, the people, they explode.

The past aint ever gonna re-come.
So do what you do, cuz what's done is done.
Beat out the pain with a kick drum.
Can't escape from yourself unless you don't run.
And one by one, the people, they explode.

You never see the present, cuz you're always looking back.
Or counting down the seconds to your heart attack.
Bottle it up, and the bottle goes crack.
Do what you do, cuz you can't come back.
And one by one, the people, they explode.

The Battles - Room Full Of People In Your Head lyrics - Cloud Cult

There's a room full of people in your head, in your head.
Yeah, there's a room full of people in your head, in your head.
And every single one of them claims your name.
You lost control to the mood, my friend.
Whattcha gonna do if you lose it again?
"I'm sorry." Again. "I'm sorry." Again. "I'm sorry."
In the center stands Ego- looking for attention.
And over there's Self Pity, always crying, "Poor, poor me!"
Lock up the liquor, or they're gonna get juiced.
I've got each of these in me.

There's a fight, there's a fight at the party in your head.
Yeah, there's a fight for control at the party in your head.
I don't even know who's at the wheel.
Who wants to play? "Give it to me!"
Who wants to play? "Give it to me!"
"I'm sorry." Again. "I'm sorry." Again. "I'm sorry."
Part of me is the Hang Man, looking for a scape-goat.
And part of me is the victim, always crying, "Why you pickin' on me?"
Lock up the gun cabinet, or it's gonna get messy.
I've got each of these in me.

You've gotta follow the voice you wanna follow,
gotta kill off the thoughts that funk up your diddy-diddy.
"You'd be surprised to find how much was in your mind."
Cuz there's a room full of people in your head, in your head.
And they will fight for control of your head, of your head.
"You'd be surprised to find how much was in your mind."
There's Mr. Self Conscious, carrying too much baggage.
and over there's the Chameleon, always crying, "Who you want me to be?"
Let's end the charade. This game is over.
I've got each of these in me.

The Escape - Running With The Wolves lyrics - Cloud Cult

We went running with the wolves. It's time for us to go.
Left all our clothes with the car back by the road.
We were running for a reason- for the burning in our veins.
We were running for a reason.
I just need to get away.

We're running with the wolves. We're screaming at the stars.
We left all we own in a hole in our backyard.
We were running for a reason, left our cubicles in little flaming piles.
We were running for a reason.
I need to feel something different for just a little while.

I'm not coming home, I'm staying with the wolves.
You can burn all my mail and disconnect the phone.
Tell Mom I'm sorry- sorry for leaving, but I'm staying where I'm at.
We're running to find meaning.
We're gone, and we're never coming back.

The Acceptance - Responsible lyrics - Cloud Cult

If for just a moment, you had to be responsible
For all the things you've said and done.
Would you sit back and relax or fasten all your safety belts?
Everybody's judgement comes.

Maybe in this moment you're feeling irresponsible
for all the things you've said and done.
"I am a wrecking ball, I've run the guillotine,
and I blame everything just to keep my hands clean.

Maybe for a moment you need to feel responsible
for all the things you've said and done.

The Surrender - Guessing Game lyrics - Cloud Cult

On the journey to the center
They asked what I was looking for.
I said, "It's not that easy to explain.
I'm kind of wondering why we have to play the guessing game."

On the journey to the center,
I asked what I was looking for.
They said, "It's far too easy too explain:
It is what it is. You are what you are. Just try to enjoy your day"

The Strength - Forces Of The Unseen lyrics - Cloud Cult

We said, "There's nothing wrong."
We put our strong face on.
And go right through it.
Please say it can't be done.
Cuz that's just fuel for me to just prove this yeah, you'll see.
Cuz that's just fuel for me to just do this, yeah, you'll see.

We have so much energy that you can't see.
We'll blow right through it.
Please say you can't help me.
Cuz that's just fuel for me to just prove this, yeah, you'll see.
Cuz that's just fuel for me to just do this, yeah, you'll see.

I'm gonna make it through, you'll see.
I swear I'll prove you wrong.
You haven't seen the last of me.
I am way too strong.
It's not impossible, you'll see.
You've never been inside my head:
Ten billion burning suns and belief in a strength that can raise the dead.

It's the warmth when you're next to me.
It's the bright white light of a fevered dream.
It's the storm in your eyes.
It's in the roots of the tree:
The underestimated power of the forces of the unseen.

The Invocation (P.2) - Blessings lyrics - Cloud Cult

Let come what may come and let go of what goes.
The wind's gonna blow where the wind's gonna blow.
We'll never know why it flows where it flows.
Let come what may come and let go of what goes.

Bless the children, safe sleeping...
Don't leave me, don't leave me.
Bless the parents, hearts aching.
Don't worry, don't worry.
Bless the wakeless on their journey.
Travel safely, travel safely.
We're the sleepless, always searching,
Light chasing, light chasing.

The Awakening - Dawn lyrics - Cloud Cult

The airport's clear for a landing.
The snow is melting on the garden.
All our anxieties are in a box I mailed to Pluto.
And I feel like the sun.
Gonna burn it all away.

We rest our heads upon one pillow.
Beg for falling stars to break in our window.
Outside the evergreens are blowing out their birthday candles.
And I feel like the wind.
Gonna blow it all away.

Pray to the 'I Don't Know' that made me.
Protect my Love, protect my friends, protect my baby.
I may have worries, but I'm not going crazy.
I feel like the rain.
Gonna wash it all away.

I can't breathe unless you're in my air.
I'm not here unless you're somewhere near.
When old age calls, we'll share a rocking chair.
And I feel like the dawn.
That light is getting near.

The Arrival - There's So Much Energy In Us lyrics - Cloud Cult

A million years it's been, since the search began.
Still can't find it. Still can't find it.
The fuel is nearly spent. Check the maps again.
Can't let go of it. Can't let go of it.
Now the crew is cold and drunk on chemicals.
Can't believe in it. Can't believe in it.
And I heard the captain say, I heard the captain say,
"We' re so close to it, so very close to it.
We still have energy in us."

We feel our hearts break as the engines fade.
Still need to find it. Still need to find it.
So we took the written words of our philosophers,
and built a fire from it. Let's get those engines lit.
We took the church's veil and built a mighty sail.
to carry forth this ship. but we're still losing it.
And I heard the captain say, I heard the captain say,
"We' re so close to it, so very close to it.
We still have energy in us."

The mission's over now, and my breath is running out.
Can't let go of it, can't let go of it.
I didn't mean what I said, I didn't mean what I said.
I love you more than this. I love you more than this.
Then lights they fill the air, or were they always there?
I finally see it. I finally see it.
And I heard the captain say, I heard the captain say,
"You're always close to it, so very close to it."
There's so much energy in us.

No One Said It Would Be Easy lyrics - Cloud Cult

You came up from the ground
From a million little pieces
You're a pretty human being
Yeah, you're a pretty human being

When it all comes crashing down
Try to understand your meaning
No one said it would be easy
Cause living, it ain't easy.

And you were sewn together with a tapestry of molecules
A billion baby galaxies in wide open spaces
And everything you need is here
Everything you fear is here
And it's holding you up
It just keeps holding you up.

You came up from the ground
From a million little pieces
You're a pretty human being
Yeah, you're a pretty human being

When it all comes crashing down
You try to understand your meaning
No one said it would be easy
this living, it ain't easy

Everybody Here Is A Cloud lyrics - Cloud Cult

And everybody here is a cloud
And everybody here will evaporate this
You came up off the ground
From a million little pieces
Have you found where your place is?

Have you found where your place is?
Have you found where your place is?

You've been spending your time
Thinkin' about why you think so much
If there ever was a time
Now would be the time to see
that your time here is limited

Everybody here is a crowd
We all walk around with a million faces
Somebody turn the lights out
There's so much more to see
In our darkest places

In our darkest places
In our darkest places

It's certainly, certainly, certainly, certainly,
certainly, certainly, certainly, certainly so!
It's so! So! So! So!
It's certainly, certainly, certainly, certainly,
certainly, certainly, certainly, certainly so!
It's so! So! So! So!

And everybody here is a cloud
And everybody here will evaporate this
You came up off the ground
From a million little pieces
Have you found where your place is?

Everybody here is waiting for the next creation
They say "Go, go, go, go!"
Everybody here is waiting for the next creation
They say "Go, go, go, go!"

Everybody here is a crowd
We each walk around with a million faces
You came up off the ground
From a million little pieces
Have you found where your place is?

Have you found where your place is?
Have you found where your place is?

The Tornado Lessons lyrics - Cloud Cult

You fake it till you make it
That's the story of your life
Tea-party through tornadoes
In the middle of the night

You got your finger on the trigger
Though you never wanna fight
Put your belly up and aim
Right for the center of the sky

Right to the wrong
To the bad to the good
To the dark to the dark
To the light

Or right to the wrong
To the bad to the good
To the dark to the dark
To the light

You fake it till you make it
That's the story of your life
Tea-party through tornadoes
In the middle of the night

You got your finger on the trigger
Though you never wanna fight
Put your belly up and aim
For the sky, sky, sky, sky.
(Sky?)
Sky!

When Water Comes To Life lyrics - Cloud Cult

And when the angels come
They'll cut you down the middle
To see if you're still there
To see if you're still there

And underneath your ribs
They'll find a heart-shaped locket
An old photograph
Of you in daddy's arms
And then they'll sew you closed
And give you back to the water
From where we're all born
From where we're all born

And you'll feed the ghosts
And you'll feed the living
You'll be a stranger, and you'll be a friend
You'll be the leper, and you'll be the healer
You'll be the hero, and the tragedy

And when they sew you closed
They'll give you back to the water
From where we're all born
And when they burn your body
All that's left is sand crystals
Two tiny handfuls

All the rest is water, water, water, water
All you need to know
Is you were born of water
You are made of water
You are living water, water, water, water
All you need to know
Is you were born of water
You are made of water
You are living water, water, water, water.

Must Explore lyrics - Cloud Cult

An extraordinary television picture here.

Okay, Houston, as I stand out here in the wonders of the unknown,
I realise there is a fundamental truth to our nature. Man must explore.

Journey Of The Featherless lyrics - Cloud Cult

Got myself a mission
I'm going to find heaven
I made cray-paper wings
I think they'll carry me a while

I left you a love poem
The best I have written
My favorite words
Were the ones I couldn't spell

They say that I'm a lunatic
They say that I am full of it
I say that it's worth dreamin'
Just for the dream of it

It's all about passion
It's all about perception
Don't call me on my cell phone
'Cause there ain't no reception

When I'm gone
When I'm gone

I think I'm growing feathers
But I'm not quite sure of it
'Cause I started getting dizzy
About a Hundred feet up

I made friends with the clouds
I made friends with the birds
If you ask a goose a question
He never shuts up

And honestly I miss you
And I hope that you're missing me
Cause I could use your lips on me
And a little bit of dramamine

For the moment I can see
Way better than I've ever seen
Don't sell my stuff on eBay
Cause I might need it back before I'm gone

Before I'm gone

I'm not the kind of man
Who's into looking downwards
I've drank my share of pity
From the bartender's cup

So many people
Wonderin' "What's the right direction?"
As far as I'm concerned
There's only one way up

And my fingers, they are blisters
And my eyes, they are bullet holes
But my hearts still beating
Guess I'm pretty lucky

Pretty lucky
Pretty lucky
(When I'm gone)

The Ghost Inside Our House lyrics - Cloud Cult

We saw a ghost inside our house
Or was it wishful thinkin'?
Oh god, don't leave us by ourselves
Or we're bound to take up drinkin'

Please send us a miracle
So I know that there is meaning
I said, "I think that it's a miracle
Just to be breathin'"

So live on
Baby live on
Live on
Baby live on

Packed up my clothes in a grocery bag
I'm going to find the creator
An old man in the clouds or a happy little alien
Whoever it is I need to thank her

And even though I don't know God
I'm happy with the mystery
And I'm certain that I feel it
Every time that you sing to me

Songs, you say
Life is like a song
It's a song
A hum-able song

I watched you sleep until 5 am
Cause I want to be part of your dreaming
Oh love, don't leave me by myself
Or I'm bound to lose my meaning

We'll start a little family
And call it our religion
Hunt for ghosts inside our house
'Cause we'll never give up wishing

That we live on
May we live on
In our song
Our hum-able song

It's What You Need lyrics - Cloud Cult

It's what you need
It's what you need
It's what you need
It's what you need
It's what you need

Story Of The Grandson Of Jesus lyrics - Cloud Cult

Today is a good day to flex the muscles of the weary.
A miracle is a miracle, even when it's ordinary.
We will walk on the water even though it seems scary,
if someone will show us the way.

I shook hands with a man who honestly thinks
he's the grandson of Jesus with a penchant for pinchies.
He served us communion of cola and Twinkies.
I guess everyone has their own view.

He stood on his soapbox and told us a parable
of a man with eye-glasses so small they're unwearable.
And the moral of the story is that it all looks terrible,
depending on what you look through, what you look through.

He said
"Do unto yourself as you do unto your neighbor;
it's not an eye for an eye, it's a favor for a favor,
and it's okay if this world had a billion saviors,
'cuz there are so many things to be saved."

"Take my words with a boulder of salt,
or blame it on your devil, it's always the scape-goat's fault
we all point fingers when it comes to a halt.
Will somebody show us the way?"

Hurricane And Fire Survival Guide lyrics - Cloud Cult

I've had enough of hiding underneath my covers.
I'm done with all this poop that brings me down, down, down.
Don't bring me down, down, down.

I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.
I will laugh my way through hurricanes and fire.
That's why you don't want to bring me down.
That's why you don't want to bring me down.

I've had enough of hiding underneath my covers.
I'm done with all this poop that brings me down, down, down.
Don't bring me down, down, down.

I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.
I will laugh my way through hurricanes and fire.
That's why you don't want to bring me down.
That's why you don't want to bring me down.

May Your Hearts Stay Strong lyrics - Cloud Cult


He met her at a nightclub. She couldn't keep the beat.
She wore her grandma's prom dress, raccoon slippers on her feet.
He took a shot of something strong to make him feel less weak,
And so the story goes...

There's something to be said about trading stories of when you were 8 years old:
He had his first stitches when he bit an ice cream bowl.
She had her first kiss in a swimming hole,
And so the story goes...

And the days grew long, and the wine was overflowing.
And she knew she was in love, because nobody ever hugged her like that,
hugged her like that, hugged her like that, hugged her like that.

They moved into a school bus just because it seemed like fun.
She'd say "I like the way you touch me, it makes me feel like I have no skeleton,"
And so the story goes...

And I've seen photographs and video tapes
of that diesel home that loving place
And it's about time two minds entwined in such a fine, fine way.

May your lives be long,
May your wishes all be simple.
And may your hearts stay strong.

Tucked into bed, is she the ghost of your teddy bear.
Check under the covers just to make sure he's still sleeping there.
Turn wedding gowns to angel cloths for the baby to wear.
Turn wedding gowns to angel cloths for the baby to wear.
She's rides him like the State Fair.
They make love like two solar flares
caring like they really care
that they're gonna make it.
He wants to die in the place where she first said "I love you."
Spread his ashes with the breath of the last kiss that she blew.
They decorate when featherless;
they celebrate through hungriness,
and it's about time two minds entwined in such a fine, fine way.

May your lives be long,
May your wishes all be simple.
And may your hearts stay strong.

May your lives be long,
May your wishes all be simple.
And may your hearts stay strong.

The Will Of A Volcano lyrics - Cloud Cult


You have a precious little mind.
You paint a perfect little rainbow.
You will make this right.
You have the will of a volcano.

You have a precious little mind.
You paint a perfect little rainbow.
You will make this right.
You have the will of a volcano.

You have a precious little mind.
You paint a perfect little rainbow.
You will make this right.
You have the will of a volcano.

You have a precious little mind.
You paint a perfect little rainbow.
You will make this right.
You have the will of a volcano.

You have a precious little mind.
You paint a perfect little rainbow.
You will make this right.
You have the will of a volcano.

You have a precious little mind.
You paint a perfect little rainbow.
You will make this right.
You have the will of a volcano.

You have a precious little mind.

I love my father
And when it's my time to go
I need you to know
I love you all

Chain Reaction lyrics - Cloud Cult

You have eyes like mine
Are we strangers or am I you are I

Put your face on mine
Put your face on mine

What you feel makes part of what they'll feel
It's a chain reaction
Put out fear and they'll feel fear
It's a chain reaction
Put out love and they'll feel love
It's a chain reaction

Put your face on mine
Put your face on mine

Please Remain Calm lyrics - Cloud Cult

His Sunday best includes the helmet of an astronaut
Tablecloth cape, embroidered number 8 sayin'
'I am a proud man, I am a proud man'
Dancin' to the beat of a mother coming down, sing it

Please remain calm
Please remain calm

It's hard to tell the difference of a prophet from a crackpot
I wouldn't blame you if you'd rather stay in bed
We'd go smilin', we'd go down smilin'
Dancin' to the beat of a mother coming down, take it

Please remain calm
Please remain calm
Calm

This is a test of the emergency broadcasting system
This is a test, this is only a test
You can stand single file, put your head between your legs
You can stop drop and roll 'cause this is only a test, kick it

Chemicals Collide lyrics - Cloud Cult

I was out paying close attention, or was I lost inside my thoughts?
These days it's hard to tell what's outside from what's in my mind.
But, oh God, it's beautiful and insatiable the way our chemicals collide.

I was out catching up to tomorrow, or was I caught up in the past?
These days it's hard to tell what's out in front from what's behind.
But, oh God, it's unforgettable and unpredictable the way our chemicals collide.

I was sleeping in the lilies, or was I up all night?
These days it's hard to tell what's half asleep from fully alive.
We were loving like a landslide, or were we in a fight?

These days it's hard to tell what's right from wrong and wrong from right.
And oh God, it's beautiful and insatiable the way our chemicals collide.
And oh God, it's unforgettable and unpredictable the way our chemicals collide.

Pretty Voice lyrics - Cloud Cult

The scene begins
With a hermit's melody
Sung by a bashful bird
Hung in a violet sky
There are no words
But there's understanding
It's been so long
Since I've heard that pretty voice

Raise up the lights
And enter hero girl
She makes me calm
God, she makes me calm
Then she hears the song
And she starts singing
It's been so long
Since I've heard that pretty voice

Strike up the band
Here comes the storyline
About the usual struggle
Between fear and love
This is the lifelong song
That we're all singing
It's been so long
Since I've heard that pretty voice

When it begins
I miss your harmony
But you're so shy
You're such a bashful bird
Here's a song
But no one's singing
It's been so long
Since I've heard your pretty voice

Brain Gateway lyrics - Cloud Cult

I'll turn my stupid brain into a gateway
Meet me in the place where life comes to get away

I'll turn my stupid brain into a gateway
Meet me in the place where life comes to get away

Here it comes
Here it comes
Here we go, ho

It's nice to meet you, ho ho
It's nice to meet you, ho ho

You are a special one, don't you know
Go back and show them a hopeful show
You are a special one, don't you know

Back inside my body I pick up the pieces
Come up my friends and welcome another day

Back inside my body I pick up the pieces
Come up my friends and welcome another day
Damn that stupid brain

Back inside my body I pick up the pieces
Come on my friends and welcome another day
Damn that stupid brain

Take Your Medicine lyrics - Cloud Cult

Got myself a new look,
Something gave me another chance to see.
Each time, each time I will try to do better.
Right now, right now is where I guess I belong.

Pulled my fist from my mouth.
I beat myself for a quarter century.
Remind, remind that it's bigger than me.
Dissolve, dissolve into evergreens.

These are things that I keep hidden in belly.
I can't see them but they control my life.
For a moment you could see right through me,
See right through me.
Help me make this right.
Look at all those skeletons running from their closets,
get them in the light!

These are things that I keep hidden in belly.
I can't see them but they control my life.
For a moment you could see right through me,
See right through me.
Help me make this right.
Look at all those skeletons running from their closets,
get them in the light!

You can take it in stride, or you can take it right between the eyes.
Suck up, suck up and take your medicine.
It's a good day, it's a good day to face the hard things.

Pulled my fist from my mouth.
I beat myself for a quarter century.
Remind, remind that it's bigger than me.
Dissolve, dissolve into evergreens.

We found beautiful babies sleeping in our ribs.
Get them in the light.
Get them in the light.

You can take it in stride, or you can take it right between the eyes.
Suck up, suck up and take your medicine.

We found beautiful babies sleeping in our ribs.
Get them in the light.
Get them in the light.

You can take it in stride, or you can take it right between the eyes.
Suck up, suck up and take your medicine.

Your 8th Birthday lyrics - Cloud Cult

Who could hang a dead man's swing-set from the moon yeah
You did
Then you gave it
To the ghosts and
The witches

Who can say goodbye with a yodel-ay-hee-hoo yeah
You did
With the promise
That the dead are now magicians

This hymn rings with the singing of three cheers
For the king of the jungle gym
He's the kid who swore it is a one handshake
A birthday cake imitation

You make traffic jams feel like parades
You bury the dead with the faith
That makes lightning bugs swarm
As if it was graduation

Who could change your silly life into a screaming supernova?
You do

Who could change my sleepy brain into the eye of a hurricane?

Dance For The Dead lyrics - Cloud Cult

This is the dance
That brings the dead to the living
Just say "I miss you
Every day you know"

This is the dance
That brings the dead to the living
They say "I'm with you
Every day you know"

This is the dance
That brings the dead to the living
Just say "I miss you
Every day you know"

This is the dance
That brings the dead to the living
They say "I'm with you
Every day you know"

Can you hear them come? [x8]

This is the dance
That brings the dead to the living
Just say "I miss you
Every day you know"

Purpose lyrics - Cloud Cult

There must be purpose here cause most of us keep waking up
(Don't you think it's pretty here)
It's so unexpectedly predictable
So sloppily intentional
Does anyone know the punchline yet

There must be rhythm here cause all of us have a heartbeat
(Don't you see the music here)
Inside our ribs we take an average of 60 beats a minute
A-rum-pum-pum-pum
A-rum-pum-pum-pum-pum

There must be forgiveness here cause most of us have our weaknesses
(Tell me what are your weaknesses)
I don't know myself and I'm afraid of you
I'm happiest on chemicals
The goings come and the comings go
Forgive me I'm just an animal

There must be healing here cause everybody here has been damaged
And we'll wear it like a tattoo
Every scar is a smile
To hell with the going down

There must be afterlife here cause we all pray for resurrection
You see the end comes quick as a bullet

A Good God lyrics - Cloud Cult


And for a moment I saw God
And it was so effing precious
It was an 80 year old dog
A little girl kissing a frog
A little boy who thought Jesus was He-Man

And then, and then
And then, and then
And then, and then

I found divinity in the hole in the front of your head
You spoke of bubblegum bums
You dressed the devil in a thong
You turned funeral cries into lullaby songs

1 2 3 4 5
4 5 6 7 8
1 2 3 4 5

The Girl Underground lyrics - Cloud Cult

Freddy fell in love with a girl underground
He was only 8 years old when he started digging down
Singing "I love you more than you know"

Mother said "Fred, people underground are dead
You've never even seen her, something's wrong with your head
And "I love you more than you know"

Freddy disappeared when he was 80 years old
Still digging for his lover in a bottomless hole
Singing "I love you more than you know"

Some say he's still digging, others say his love is found
You can still hear him singing, put your ear to the ground
Listen: "I love you more than you know"

2x2x2 lyrics - Cloud Cult

You and I make a lovely shape
Two circles cubed draw a number 8
It's a perfect day to dress the kids in snowsuits
While we bake bread through the monsoon
Cause I'm in love with you
And all that we've been through
We're finally coming to
Two by two by two

This is the meaning of the number 8
The meaning of the number 8
The meaning of the number 8
8, 8, 8, 8...

Shape the pain into something great
Disintegrate and reintegrate
Let's go live like Sunday morning cartoons
Grow Christmas trees from tombs
Cause I'm in love with you
And all that we've been through
We're finally coming to
Two by two by two

This is the meaning of the number 8
The meaning of the number 8
The meaning of the number 8
8, 8, 8, 8...

Thanks lyrics - Cloud Cult

It's 4-o'clock in the morning
And I am staring at the ceiling plaster
A movie screen of all my days
That came and left with grace

It's Halloween and the smell of burning
Pumpkin takes me back through all the
People I have dressed up as
To tell myself I have a pretty soul

And it is so wonderful
It is so wonderful
Beautiful

And I give thanks to my youthful days
Of grass-stained knees and trick-or-treat face
I pray I'll find as innocent a place
When I am 88

And I give thanks to my present day
It just got here so please don't go away
I finally see it's what I choose to make
I choose to make it into gold

And it is so wonderful
Beautiful

I give thanks to my youthful days
Of grass-stained knees and trick-or-treat face
I pray I'll find as innocent a place
When I am 88

And I give thanks to my present day
It just got here so please don't go away
I finally see it's what I choose to make
And I choose to make it into gold

Alien Christ lyrics - Cloud Cult

You're invited to the party
Down by the rocket crash
No one knows what happened there
Cause the thing went down so fast
And they've gathered up the pieces
Still burning with blue radiance
Some say it's just a missile
Others say it must be aliens

And the only eye-witness
Is a Russian widow and she says
"It's clear that he has come again
Sell your SUVs for Jesus"
But the merchants were the first to come
With popcorn stands and freakshows
Selling everything from religious relics to plastic UFOs
And the news teams come with cameras cameras cameras thick as flies
A Pulitzer Prize to the first of you who talks to the alien Christ

And the days they came and went
With no sign of the mystical
So they all went back to the daily drone
Of the practical and predictable
And Farmer Johnson built his rambler house upon that rocket hole
As if to prove man's domain
Over everything unknown

And he fell in love with the neighbor girl
And had a baby shortly after
That kid never made a single sound
Except the sound of laughter
And the words first came at 8 years old
When she spoke about the crash
And she said and she said and she said
"Someone as God came
And ran its fingers through my hair"

Cloud Cult:the Deaf Girl's Song lyrics - Cloud Cult

Did you hear about the deaf girl
The one who sang a silent song
Although it's totally quiet
You can't help but hum along

Did you hear about the deaf girl
The one who wrote the silent CD
Although there's nothing to hear
I swear that there are things to be seen

She'll make the world stand still
She'll make the world stand still

And someone sing us a song
That makes us feel like raspberries in the middle of June
When the garden's just getting going
Someone sing us a song
That makes us feel like the coolest kid on the first day of school
You're as big as you're gonna get but you're still growing

Did you hear about the deaf girl
The one whose song's gone number one
Three minutes of silence on the radio
It's the best damn gift for everyone

Did you hear about the deaf girl
The one who made everything clear
If we could just shut up for a second
My darling, my dear, we might actually hear

She made the world stand still
She made the world stand still

And someone sing us a song
That makes us feel like the dead are breathing birthday balloons
And they blow and they blow and they blow
And someone sing us a song
That makes us feel like the fourth of July and New Year's Eve
Are making love in the snow
Ah-oh, ah-oh

Hope lyrics - Cloud Cult

In just a little while
In just a little while
In just a little while
In just a little while

Find it out, find it out

Just holding makes me better for it
Just holding makes me better for it
Just holding makes me better for it

Living On The Outside Of Your Skin lyrics - Cloud Cult

Come and speak to me, my friend.
Forget the words that you think you were saying.
Cause your thoughts seem to be thinking otherwise.
Cause your feelings seem to be feeling otherwise.
Otherwise. Otherwise

Take your broken pieces and use them for protection.
Use them for protection. Use them for protection.
Take your strong pieces and use them
for living on the outside of your skin.
Living on the outside...

You've got to suck it up, even though they spit you out.
Take it in, Take it in.
Living on the outside of your skin. [x8]

Happy Hippo lyrics - Cloud Cult

I like my happy hippo-pot-a-mus,

I like my happy hippo-pot-a-mus,
She leads the way leads the way leads the way leads the,

All you've got is what it gave you
And it can take it way

You'd best learn to live while you're alive
It's better to burn out than to fade away
My my, hey hey

What Comes At The End lyrics - Cloud Cult

Will we wake up in the body of a buffalo,
running through the fields with our old friends?
Or will we sleep with our favorite ghosts?
I'm just wondering what comes at the end.
I hope I meet you again.

You'll be a hummingbird. And I'll be a bumblebee.
And we will fall in love in our new skin.
We will talk all night about our philosophies.
As we lay wondering what comes at the end…
I hope I meet you again.

You Got Your Bones To Make A Beat lyrics - Cloud Cloud

You got your bones to make a beat
You better make a mighty good beat
You got your skin to sing a song
You better sing a super swell song

I got my skin to sing a song
I gotta sing a super swell song
I got my bones to make a beat
I better make a mighty good beat

Let's pick up the beat!

Washed Your Car lyrics - Cloud Cult

I washed your car last week
you gave me a kiss on the cheek.
I asked if you'd be my sweet
You said, "Baby not me"

I mowed your lawn yesterday
You gave me six bucks and I say
let's have some lemonade
You said, "Go away"

I built your cupboards out of my bones
Shoveled your snow with an ice cream cone
Asked if you'd be my own
You said, "Leave me alone"

I raked your leaves with my toes
Tilled your garden with my nose
Asked if you would be my beau
You said, "No no no"

I built your cupboards out of my bones
Shoveled your snow with an ice cream cone
Asked if you'd be my own
You said, "Leave me alone"

I raked your leaves with my toes
Tilled your garden with my nose
Asked if you would be my beau
You said, "No no no"

Transistor Radio lyrics - Cloud Cult

I heard grandpa on my transistor radio,
Though he turned in his bones twenty years ago,
And he said, "Kid, theres something that I'd like to show you,
Get your things, its time for us to go"
So I grabbed my backpack, my flashlight, and a bag of caramel corn,
I got my bicycle, and the radio, and I had it on the road, I said
"I'm ready for what I'm about to see, Yup"

I headed north to rain that turned to snow
Through rusty towns and dusty gravel roads
And I said, "Grandpa, where is this thing you wanted to show me?"
He said, "Kid, you got a long way to go"
So I went through canyons, caves and catacombs, I sailed on bicycle boats
I slept in chapels and brothels, I met the nicest folks
I said, "I'm ready for what I'm about to see, Yup"

I heard grandpa on my transistor radio
He said, "Kid, its time for me to go,
And I know that there was something that I wanted to show you,
But its time for you to find it on your own."
"Let me tell you about rage when a signal died that day,
Theres nothing out there and I don't care; Its to take my life away
I'm not ready and I don't want to see, Nope"

Its been years since I heard my transistor radio
Yet I keep going to where it seems I'm meant to go
And I finally realized what he wanted to show me
Where I've been, where I am, its the show
Where I've been, where I am, its the show
Where I've been, where I am, its the show

What It Feels Like To Be Alive lyrics - Cloud Cult

I heard grandpa on my transistor radio
Though he turned in his bones twenty year ago
And he said, "kid, there's something that I'd like to show you,
Get your things, it's time for us to go"

So I grab my backpack, and my flashlight, and a bag of caramel corn
I got my bicycle, and the radio, and I headed on the rode
I said, "i'm ready, for what I'm about to see, yepp"

Headed north 'till the rain had turned to snow
Through rusty towns and dusty gravel road
And I said, "grandpa, where is this thing you wanted to show me?"
He said, "kid, you got a long way to go"

So I went through canyons, caves, and catacombs, I sailed on bicycle boats
I slept in chapels, and brothels, I met the nicest folks
I said, "i'm ready, for what I'm about to see, yepp"

I heard grandpa on my transistor radio
He said, "kid, it's time for me to go,
And I know that there was something that I wanted to show you,
But it's time for you to find it on your own"

Let me tell you about rage, when the signal died that day
There's nothing out there, and I don't care, if they take my life away
I'm not ready, and I don't want to see, nope

It's been years since I've heard my transistor radio
Yet I keep going to where it seems I'm meant to go
And I finally realized what he wanted to show me
Where I've been, and where I am, it's the show
Where I've been, and where I am, it's the show
Where I've been, and where I am, it's the show

Moving To Canada lyrics - Cloud Cult

And as the ending came, the people watch complacently and swore their god had meant for it to be this way
And I'm feeling strange, while the pretty people pray

Going to Canada

And all the people sing, long live the king for he is a godly thing, an eagle with just one right wing
And I'm feeling strange, while the pretty people pray (Hut hut hut hut...)

Going to Canada
Going to Canada

And as the ending came, the people watched complacently and swore their god had meant for it to be this way

Moving to Canada
I'm moving to Canada

Start New lyrics - Cloud Cult

I bought a new shirt
and I got new socks
but my skin's still made of memories

And I wanna start fresh
I wanna start new
but my skin's still made of memories
(of memories)

And I'm still alive
I'm six feet up
but one day I will be six feet under

And I wanna start fresh
I wanna start new
I wanna start over
(over)

And I wanna start fresh
I wanna start new
I wanna start over
(over)

Car Crash lyrics - Cloud Cult

In the middle of the car crash, you turned to me and said
'Living's so pretty, let's do it again'
For all the things I want to do
For all the things I want to do
Oh no, no, no...

In the middle of the car crash, you told me you love me
The key chain wedding ring, 'whatcha say we get married?'
There's so much more I want to do
There's so much more I want to do
Oh no...

At 70 miles per hour where we rolled out together
Let's sleep in this ditch, tonight and forever
You're everything I could want to do
There's nothing more I could want to do...
Than be with you

Light At The End Of The Tunnel lyrics - Cloud Cult

...when I felt the cold coming up
I went "oh my god, I'm dying"

And the next thing I know
I was out of my body
And I had no pain

I was aware that the room was light
Seemed to be filling with a very white light

I noticed a tunnel opening up
A very dark tunnel
With rings in it
And a very white
Tiny white second light at the very end
That we were moving down toward

The tunnel was very interesting because
It was full of rings
Like a child's play tube out in the backyard

We made it through the tunnel
We got to the white light
The little hole had opened up
And we got to the white light

And my life was shown very quickly
Like an old fashioned movie
That you see on those tapes
Flickering at me

And everything from when I was very very young
That I thought, did, said
Everything I should have done
Everything I didn't do
I was so aware that the few good things I had done
They were so few

And I said "no, no"
I said, "I wanna go back
I wanna go back
I wanna go back!"

Million Things lyrics - Cloud Cult

There are a million things I'd like to do today,
but I'll do none of them, cuz there are a million things doing me.
There are a million things that I'd like to say,
but I'll say none of them, cuz there are a million things said to me.

I'm A-okay, if you'll Be-okay, and I won't run away, if you won't run away from me.

Can't Stop the Journey
Can't stop the journey now…

Clip-Clop lyrics - Cloud Cult

Clip-clop, happy horse, giddy-up away from No-No-No into Yeah-Yeah-Yeah.
Slish-slosh, life boat, float me away from No-No-No into Yeah-Yeah-Yeah.
I have sailed through hurricanes with just a wooden plank and a smilie face,
And it took me somewhere that I don't know.
And I'll not be stranded here this time, cuz I've found escape is a state of mind,
And I'm going somewhere that I don't know (no, no, no).

Strum-strum, giddy guitar, you're my lifeline...my happy-happy...my Yeah-Yeah-Yeah.
Strum-strum, giddy guitar, take me somewhere that I don't know,
Strum-strum [x4], take me somewhere that I don't know,
where they sing, "Yeah, yeah, yeah."

Training Wheels lyrics - Cloud Cult

Today is the day we take off your training wheels.
We think you can do it.
Do you think you can do it?
You can't fall down, cuz everyone is watching you.
They don't think you can do it.
It's your chance to prove it.

How are you doing? [x3]

You can't stop now, although there are walls all around.
You just gotta go through it. [x2]
And you can't fall down, cuz everyone is watching you.
They need to see you do.
You need to see you do it.

How are you doing? [x3]

We Made Up Your Mind For You lyrics - Cloud Cult

We made up your mind for you last night,
so you can decide that you'll be alright.
It's no small trick to beat-beat
the pessimistic motherfucker sleeping inside your head.
Do you believe in you?
Cuz no one else can do that for you.
Are you ready yet? Are you ready yet?
you don't want to hear it.

That Man Jumped Out The Window lyrics - Cloud Cult

It's the thoughts that you feed
It's the habits you need
It's the things that you don't think that you're seeing
When you're really seeing
That man jumped out the window
Come back in the window
That man jumped out the window
Come back in the window

It's your tone in my mouth
It's the things that we're too scared to talk about
It's the feeling that you're dreaming
(You're not really dreaming)
That man jumped out the window
Come back in the window
That man jumped out the window
Come back in the window

It's the feeling that you're falling
But there's a fine line between falling and flying
It's the feeling that you've lost it
What don't you get?
What don't you get?
[x2]

It's the thoughts that you feed
It's the habits you need
It's the things that you don't think that you're seeing
When you're really seeing
That man jumped out the window
Come back in the window
That man jumped out the window
Come back in the window

Lucky Today lyrics - Cloud Cult

I got two hands on the sunshine
I got one foot in the grave
I got 25 cents in my wallet
And I'm feeling mighty lucky today
Hey, hey

My bones are made out of ivory
And my blood is made out of ocean waves
And someone stole my wallet
But I'm feeling mighty lucky today
Hey, hey

Norman Rockwell lyrics - Cloud Cult

Crashed down in your old quilt and the third-grade chalk stains on your fingers
Gramma's sleeping in the other room
Christmas is only ten months away
I think it can still be just like Norman Rockwell

Bobby's Spacesuit lyrics - Cloud Cult

Bobby's got a spacesuit made out of squirrel skin
He's pushing downwards out and sucking upwards in
And this is truth to him, and this is truth to him

Gina burns her Barbie 'til it's unrecognizable rubber
Screw your d size cups 'cause I'm a way better lover
This is truth to her, this is truth to her

Turn my stupid question marks into simple candy canes
Turn my stupid question marks into simple candy canes
And this is truth to me, this is truth to me

"Aurora Borealis" (2004)



Breakfast With My Shadow lyrics - Cloud Cult

I woke up in a Lego bedroom
Sleeping in my burlap sack
And all the mosquitos know I love you
Can I love me just as much
And I had breakfast with my shadow
We had quite the discussion
Can you fall in love with the things you only know the things you may never touch?

My day at work was just like it always is
The same old same old
I appreciate the opportunity over and over
But I had supper with my shadow
And we had quite the discussion
If I truly believe that things can change will I wake up to something different?

Alone At A Party In A Ghost Town lyrics - Cloud Cult

I'm alone, I'm alone at a party
In a ghost town, yeah
Are you there, are you there anybody?
'Cause I feel a bit down, yeah

There is God, there is God in the secrets that you tell me
Truth has a beautiful sound, yeah
We will get, we will get what we're deserving
'Cause it all comes around, yeah

I'm alone, I'm alone at a party
In a ghost town, yeah
Are you there, are you there anybody?
'Cause I feel a bit down, yeah

There is God, there is God in the secrets that you tell me
Truth has a beautiful sound, yeah
We will get, we will get what we're deserving
'Cause it all comes around, yeah

There is hope, there is hope in the worms and the maggots
'Cause they're breaking it down, yeah

There is love, there is love in the things that you're seeking
And the things that you've found

I'm alone, I'm alone at a party
In a ghost town, yeah

As Long As You're Happy lyrics - Cloud Cult

I wanted to take you to prom in my ice cream truck
You made me feel twenty feet tall but I couldn't stand up

Was I just your car crash
A scribbled note in your ten year old journal
Will you think of me when you're watching
Your nbc sitcoms
Or the sunday night movie

As long as you're happy
As long as you're happy

Now you are painted fingernails and tampons
And I am one feathered wing and one naked arm

Was I just your stunt man
A temporary stand-in for your Hollywood superman
Will you think of me when you're writing
Your annual christmas letters
An update of the family

As long as you're happy
As long as you're happy

You kiss so deep
I could taste you in my toes
Now you're so far I wouldn't even know how to say hello

Was I just your car crash
A scribbled note in your ten year old journal
Will you think of me when you're watching
Your nbc sitcoms
Or the sunday night movie
Was I just your stunt man
A temporary stand-in for your Hollywood superman
Will you think of me when you're writing your annual christmas letters
An update of the family

As long as you're happy
As long as you're happy.

Chandeliers lyrics - Cloud Cult

Last night I was looking for some romance
I went to a square dance feeling like a circle
But did you see my mom last night?
She was so dang pretty

I ended up in a corn field,
Skeeters on my toe nails
‘Til the cows came back from their bleeding
Did you see my dad last night?
He was so dang witty

And love scares me
Like chandeliers
Pretty shards of glass
To clean my ears

Hanging from a single wire
Waiting for the plaster to crack
Hanging from a single wire
Waiting for the plaster to crack
Hanging from a single, hanging from a single, single…

I’m always dumbing up the smart things
And smarting up the dumb things
And knottin’ up my shoe strings
And messing up the good things
But did you see the stars last night?
Punctuation for a perfect poem and

Tearin’ down your walls
But I’m building up my walls
So no one knows no nothing,
No one knows no nothing
Did you see God last night?
An eighty-year-old on a red tricycle

I built the earth, I love you
Goddammit, I mean gosh darn
I built the earth, above you
Goddamn, gosh darn

And you can’t take this away
You can’t take this away
You can’t take this away

And love scares me
Like chandeliers
Pretty shards of glass
To clean my ears

Hanging from a single wire
Waiting for the plaster to crack
Hanging from a single wire
Waiting for the plaster to crack
Hanging from a single, hanging from a single, single…

Buried Poetry lyrics - Cloud Cult

Paper and pencils made a birth:
Poetry that I once wrote her.
There's nothing we were holding down.
Nothing we were holding down.

I kept a favorite photograph
Of her and I in the tall dream grass.
And nothing here could take us down.
Nothing here could take us down.

Paper buried in the dirt:
It's all the poetry that I once wrote her.
It's something we were burning down.
Something we were burning down.

I lost my favorite photographs
Buried deep in the tall dream grass.
There's so much I am holding down.
(So much I am holding down.)
There's so much I am holding down.

All Together Alone lyrics - Cloud Cult

The monsters underneath your bed
They're all just praying for you to let them crawl back home
I know it's hard to sleep
When you're so frozen
But we are all together alone

You won't find you
Unless you lose your mind
And you let go of all the things you cling to
'Cause we are all together alone

Have we gone wrong?
Or are we growing?
I'm exploding from this beauty
Have we gone wrong?
Or are we growing?
I am crushed by all this madness
Have we gone wrong?
Or are we growing?
I'm exploding from this beauty...

My Fictitious Life With Amily lyrics - Cloud Cult

Amily, you are the first thing that I think of at 3 am
Amily, will you be there to put pennies on my eyes?
Would you like a beer or a cigarette or a road trip to Utah?
'Cause I will give you what you wanted

Amily, I can hear constellations when you speak to me
Amily, will you really mean it when you say, "I love you?"
Would you like a garden, a castle, a rocketship, a baby?
'Cause I can give you want you wanted

And if I propose will you lay down next to me?
And if you say no, well I refuse to miss you
'Cause I know God's got its finger on my pulse
Beep beep
I'll live on, I'll live on
Beep beep
I'll live on, I'll live on

And if I propose will you lay down next to me?
'Cause I can give you what you've wanted

Grappling Hook / Northern Lights lyrics - Cloud Cult

I've got a broken wing and a grappling hook and I, I won't give up
Seven days ago the Earth could have eaten me but, I'm still alive [x7]

Lights Inside My Head lyrics - Cloud Cloud

I've been seeing lights inside my head
I'm not broken, I am fixed again
Will you love me through these changes?
'Cause I can't make them go away

And Hell is the fear of pain
While Heaven is the faith that things will be okay
And all your life you've been waiting for someone to hold you like the day you were born
To look into those eyes and know that we are all the same

And you're so beautiful in every way
And fuck 'em, Lucy
But I'm drunk again
I'll be okay...

Beautiful Boy lyrics - Cloud Cult

I'm climbing to the Sun on a cobweb made of tinker'toys
I'm dressed in Sunday's best
I'll see you soon

Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Beautiful, beautiful

I'm halfway to the Sun
There are ghosts all around me
And I see your face in the Sun
The light at the end of the tunnel

Where are you going?...
Don't go, don't go, don't go

I Finally reached the Sun
Oh my son, you are beautiful
I'm so tired
Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep

Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Beautiful, beautiful

I Guess This Dream Is For Me lyrics - Cloud Cult

These moments are brief
When you can truly say you know yourself
You must lose your mind in order for to find it
And sometimes you've just got to fall
So you can see the bottom
Or you'll never know what's holding you up

And this life feels like a dream to me
It's beautiful and it's twisted
But for right now, I don't want to wake up

So I guess this dream is for me
I guess this dream is for me

I'd tell you the truth
But my angle's always changing
I'd point the right way
But I don't think there's any such thing
I like to think that it really doesn't matter
where you're going or where you're from
The truth is always moving
And it's always where you're standing
We may disagree but no one's wrong

So I guess this dream is for me
And I guess this dream is for me

I lost my way
When I was taught to follow the others
And I lost my mind
When I believed in the truth of my brothers
I believed those who told me I have to die to see Heaven
And those who said Heaven's inside me

It's beautiful that we all see it just a little different
We're the lead role in our own dream

And I guess this dream's for me
And I guess this dream is for me
I guess this dream is for me
I guess this dream is for me

"They Live On The Sun" (2003)



On The Sun lyrics - Cloud Cult

We're all made of galaxies and weeds
And some day we will live up on the sun
Grandpa and Grandma left this world together
And now they're living somewhere on the sun
I want to leave this world together
And you and I will live up on the sun

Moon's Thoughts lyrics - Cloud Cult

I saw my insides fall out, and so I sucked them back in, I was surprised by what was in there
A little boy with dolphin fins, a bucket of leggos and gin, an atomic bomb, the Dali Lama.
He could not tell me the way, he could not tell me the meaning, until I'm ready to be crucified.
And the wind is made of moon's thoughts
All quickened with poetry and madness,
And if you hold in your lungs for just a few seconds,
You'll feel the burning I speak of.
You'll feel the burning I speak of.
We are Buddha, Confucious, and Jesus Christ.
We were born to philosophize.
But if we want to fly, we've got to leave our shit on the ground.
Or is that too much to sacrifice?
And we will not know the Way,
And we will not know the Meaning, until we are ready to be crucified.
And the wind is made of moon's thoughts,
All quickened with poetry and madness,
And if you hold in your lungs for just a few seconds,
You'll feel the burning I speak of.
You'll feel the burning I speak of.

Turtle Shell lyrics - Cloud Cult

I've got my mind made up
I've got my mind made up
I've got my mind made up
I think I'll live this way
I think I'll live this way
I think I'll live this way
Turtle shell
Turtle shell

This is my turtle shell
This is my turtle shell
It's made of paper mache
I wear it to protect
I wear it to protect
You can not hurt me their way

Turtle shell
Turtle shell
Turtle shell

This is my turtle shell
This is my turtle shell
It's made of paper mache

Turtle shell
Turtle shell

Fairy Tale lyrics - Cloud Cult

Little Jack Horner fell in love with the witch upon the moon
Her name was Mother Hubbard she kept whiskey in her cupboard
So her wings were made of spoons
They dated for a week and then married on the beach
But the wolf thought it was too soon
The three blind mice said it was all very nice so they moved up on the moon

They had a little girl, her name was Bo Peep
She was pretty, she was bright
She put on her red coat and went to see grandma
But disappeared in the night
Jack wouldn't eat fat, Hubbard wouldn't eat lean
So they got into a fight
Jack grew a beanstalk, big and green
So they climbed into the sky

Somewhere in the clouds they lost each other
When the cow jumped over the moon
But old Mother Hubbard found little Miss Muffet
Now their on their honeymoon

It lyrics - Cloud Cult

I was in the closet
Sucking on my medicine
Waiting for an answer
Praying for a savior
When suddenly I heard a voice
Singing in my back yard
I put on my yellow overcoat
You wouldn't believe what I saw
Oh, It!

I hid in the lilacs
And watched the figure dancing
But the dandelions saw me
You tattletales!
You tattletales!
Oh, It!

From another galaxy
Would you please take me
Cause everything here is confusing
Everything here is confusing
She gave me a piece of rhubarb
And left me in the backyard
She took a sparrow on her ship
I guess I wasn't ready for It

Estupido lyrics - Cloud Cult

Techno Automaton, Latino Screamo.
To live inside Puck, el robotico, el natural.
Kissy-kiss at the very next table.
Lonely-lone is me (though I'm feeling quite able).
Fine cigarro - they nose rub - oh, oh.
He Gigilo with his serpent down your throat.
He Gigilo with his serpent down your throat.
He Gigilo with his serpent down your throat.
He Gigilo with his serpent down your throat.

Millions of sperm to permeate your huevo.
Will he love your baby, or will he just go-go?
Why you love this dirty, dirty boy-male-ho?
I estupido 'cause I'll never really know, no.
He Gigilo with his serpent down your throat.
He Gigilo with his serpent down your throat.

Mi robotico espiritu is in the ashtray.
But Rico Suave, male whore, is going to get laid.
When you're single momma, you better get paid.
I'll be living on the sun, singing "Hippy-hay-hay!"

Why you always gots to be pissing on me?
Why you always gots to be pissing on me, see?
He's the Gigilo with his serpent down your throat.
He's the Gigilo with his serpent down your throat.
He's the Gigilo with his tongue down your throat.
He's the Gigilo that's gonna leave you on your own.

Radio Fodder lyrics - Cloud Cult

This song is written for you
You love that, and I hate it
It starts off so soft and sweet
You like that, do you like me?

(I'm gonna break it down, 'cause you like it rolling down here.)

Hey!
Like that funky, funky!

I can't write music
You hate it when I do it
You just want me to sound like
Every God damn man on the radio

This song is written for you
You like it, and I hate it
I can't breathe, I can't write
I can't live my life like this

It's gotten quieter
Cause you like that
In the third verse, keep it mellow
Cause you know you're building up for
The final chorus

It's our song written for you
You like it, I hate that

It's our song [x3]

I'm singing it different now!
I'm breaking it down!
You love it!

This is my song [x4]

Rock! Rock! Rock!

Man On The Moon lyrics - Cloud Cult

I was born on the back of the Man on The Moon
And my hands are made of wind, and my fingers made of spoons
I always feel like I am speaking too soon

And she's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
her bod in the wind and the wind in my dreams
She gives me all the things I ever could need

Hey!

I was born on the back of the Man on the Moon
I had hands made of glass, and my fingers made of spoons
I always feel like I am speaking too soon

Took You For Granted lyrics - Cloud Cult

I could see all the universe inside you;
You had eyes made of candles,
And your body was a medicine bag
That all the world could heal from -
I couldn't help but be mystified by you.

And I'm living all alone,
With just a bag of burned bones,
And I don't even know if you can hear me.
And I'm only half a man without you, my friend,
Fuckin' A! fuckin' a! fuckin' a!

And I can't wait
Cause I really need
You to come back
You to come back

And I can't wait
Cause I really need
You to come back
You to come back

I took you for granted, but now I understand
I always thought you'd be there.
I can't help but say they've taken away the biggest thing I care for.
I live in the black; it's a simple fact:
I'm here but I'm not aware.
I took you for granted but now I understand
I always thought you'd be there.

I miss you.
I miss you.
I miss you.
I miss you.
I miss you.

It's all that a movie
I love you for being
It's beautiful
you're perfect
you're everything
I love you

I can't see you there
I can't see you there

I can't see you there
I cannot see you there

Toys In The Attic lyrics - Cloud Cult

Have I gone mad?
Have I gone crazy?
Toys in the Attic!
There's nobody home!

Would you all believe
I once had a baby?
And I was married;
Now I'm alone.

And I think that God speaks to me
In the seconds of the clock:
Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tock.

And if you come and visit
I think you'll find a lunatic
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock.

Have I gone mad?

It's Gay lyrics - Cloud Cult

It's gay [x4]

It's happy [x4]

It's gay [x4]

It's happy [x4]

It's gay [x4]

It's happy [x4]

Best Friend lyrics - Cloud Cult

I can't hold on but I can't let go
So I just gotta hope that I can keep on holdin
I am your best friend
I can't give up but I can't get down
Gotta fake it til I make it; things'll turn around
And you are my best friend

And every time I think I've finally found the truth
It transforms and shapeshifts
Start over again

I'll take you on my side
I'll make you terrified, terrified, terrified.

And every time I think I've finally found the truth
It transforms and shapeshifts
Start over again

I can't hold on but I can't let go
So I just gotta hope that I can keep on holdin
I am your best friend
I can't give up but I can't get down
Gotta fake it til I make it; things'll turn around
And you are my best friend

And every time I think I've finally found the truth
It transforms and shapeshifts
Start over again
