A Strange World (Know That I Love You) lyrics - Cloud Cult
Know that I love you more than I can show
Most of my feelings I push down below
Call up your savior and tell him I'm cold
Cuz this world is a strange place to live
Know that I love you more than I can say
These arms wanna hold you, but I push you away
Ask how I'm doing, and I'll say I am okay
But the truth is I'm caving in
Cuz this world is a strange place to live
Know that I love you more than you can see
I get a bit overwhelmed with the noise around me
I was told there was hope here if I came with a dream
But this world is a strange place to live
Know that I love you more than I act
But the weight of this world well it's breaking my back
And I'll fight to my death if it'll prove to you that
The good guys will maybe still win
No, don't you ever give in
Though this world is a strange place to live
Know that I love you more than you can know
I may have to leave here, but I won't let you go
When You Reach The End lyrics - Cloud Cult
When you reach the end
You cannot complain to the manager
No returns, no exchanges
Life is not refundable
Your body is just packaging
Sent back for recycling
There never was a warranty
Make the best of it until it's time to go
Make the best of it until it's time to go
When you reach the end
You'll have to turn in all your memories
All the the good ones and the ugly ones
Will replay through all eternity
And we'll gather 'round in circles
Telling stories of who we thought we were
Are you proud are you embarrassed?
Take one last look and then it's time to go
Take one last look and then it's time to go
It's time to go
When you reach the end you'll see
Life is simple carpentry
You're given all the tools you need
To build your own reality
Did you spend your time making heaven?
Or did you make your own hell?
Be honest with yourself, because
What you build is where you get to go
What you build is where you get to go
What you build is where you get to go
What you build is where you get to go
When you reach the end it's true
Life goes on without you
And the last two thoughts inside of you
Are: "I'm sorry!" and "I love you!"
And as you fade into a memory
They'll measure up your heart to see
How much love you kept buried
And how much love you were brave enough to show
How much love were you brave enough to show?
How much love were you brave enough to show?
How much love are you brave enough to show?
The Best Time lyrics - Cloud Cult
It's a perfect day to remind myself to feel
I'm always busy pushing rocks uphill
With a pillow case over my head
I couldn't see that this might be the best time of my life
I try to cover up my mental health
But the truth is, I'm not well
Round and round, here I go again
I couldn't see that this might be the best time of my life
And I never meant to take you for granted
Habit is the enemy of presence
But the days, they all just started getting blurry on me
It's a perfect day to get out of my head
Finally be okay with where I am
All I want to be is a better man
I could see that this might be the best time of my life
But I got mind that's putting me through hell
I'm a wooden pony on a carousel
Round and round, here I go again
And I never meant to take you for granted
Habit is the enemy of presence
But the days, they all just started getting blurry on me
It's a perfect day to finally break the spell
Get me off this carousel
I need help to be a better man
I need to beat it cuz this might be the best time of my life
I need to see it like this might be the best time of my life
Back Into My Arms lyrics - Cloud Cult
The first time that I held you I couldn't catch my breath
Cuz I knew someday I'd have to let you go
I'm supposed to raise you to have the strength to leave the nest
But the day that you leave this home my heart will leave my chest
For now I am thankful every time you need to rest
Back into my arms again
In my heart I'll always hold you like you're still my baby doll
My darling, I'll protect you from it all
You've been learning how to walk away since we taught you how to crawl
But someday I'll be holding hands with the shadows in these walls
Just know I'll always be here every time that you fall
Back into my arms again
The last time that I held you I couldn't catch my breath
I knew that it was time to let you go
I gave you your roots and I had to give you wings
But watching you fly away is a heartbreaking thing
This old house is way too quiet, I miss hearing you sing
Come back into my arms again
I'm not the kind of person who's good with goodbyes
So I'll save you a seat at the table again tonight
I made your favorite recipe but it just wasn't the same
And if I could you know I would do it all again
I choose to believe that good things never end
Come back into my arms again
Back into my arms again
What Would You Do? lyrics - Cloud Cult
What would you do if you had to trade shoes with the love you once knew?
And what would you say if you had to replay the fits you both threw?
Would you self medicate or jump off a fire escape, divide your belongings in two?
What would you do? What would you do?
What would you do if you finally knew the pain they've lived through?
And how would it feel if what they felt was as real as the feelings in you?
Would you just leave, cuz you cannot believe that you can be full of it too?
What would you do? What would you do?
What would you do if you could see through the games you both do?
Would you be surprised if you could see through their eyes and saw how they see you?
Would your life be better if you never met or would you still be dealing with you and your monsters too?
What would you do? What would you do?
If this was the end and I never saw you again
What would I do?
Do you know what I'd change if I could do it again?
I'd stop trying to change you
If our past went away, and we just met today
What would we do?
Love at first sight or the start of our first fight?
All I know is I'd never let go of you
So much is the same, and yet
So much has changed, and yet
I still have these feelings for you and the things you do
What would you do? What would you do?
One Way Out Of A Hole lyrics - Cloud Cult
I had a dream that we were happily lost
We left the path and just wandered off
We said, "In our imagination, everywhere is home"
Uh-huh
We used to leave breadcrumbs to mark the path
But where this is going there ain't no map
"Hey, what's the destination?"
Heck if I know
What's the destination?
Which way do I go?
Which way do I go?
There's only one way out of a hole
Giddy-up, let's go
The ancestors spoke, and said you're losing reception
You think too dang much to have any connection
In our hearts we are the ocean
But we are islands in our minds
Uh-huh
They say I can't find my way 'til I know who I am
Well, I'm a buffalo trapped in human skin
Exploding a million directions
While trying to hold it all inside
What's the destination?
Which way do I go?
Which way do I go?
There's only one way out of a hole
3-2-1, go
Are we on our own?
No, we're in this together
Are we all alone?
No, we're parts of each other
So screw the diagnosis
You're gonna be alright friend
Uh-huh
You deserve better, you don't need that crap
You planned your whole life out, now burn that map
Say, "What's the destination?"
Heck if I know!
What's the destination?
Which way do I go?
Which way do I go?
Which way do I go?
There's only one way out of a hole
Come on, let's go
The Firefly And The Snake lyrics - Cloud Cult
In the middle of the night
I woke up outside the kitchen window
Staring in at a replay of my days
And something tells me I can't come back again
From there I watched my life
I looked back on myself but didn't recognize him
Ashamed to believe I could ever be that way
But then I saw you light a candle in my name
In the morning I awoke and came to life again
One more chance to finally make a change
You are the light of my life
Oh, my firefly, my sunrise, and my spark
Don't ever try to cover up your howling luminescence
Though they will come and try to blow your fire down
Some lights were never meant to be turned out
When the snake sheds its old skin
It looks back on itself but doesn't recognize it
Ashamed to believe it could ever be that way
So it attacks it out of fear and disdain
You and I built a fire
From the parts of us we never wanna see again
And we watched it burn all night despite the rain
In the morning most our dragons still were not slain
So we reached out our hands and made them friends
One more chance to finally make a change
You are the light of my life
Oh, my firefly, my sunrise, and my spark
Don't ever try to cover up your howling luminescence
Though they will come and try to blow your fire down
You are the light of my life
Oh, my firefly, my sunrise, and my spark
Don't ever try to cover up your howling luminescence
Though they will come and try to blow your fire down
Some lights were never meant to be turned out
Lady Of The Hill lyrics - Cloud Cult
Have you heard about the lady of the hill?
You all like to think that she's crazy
But I've made up my mind
I'm going to see her tonight
Would you like to come along?
She lost her family in a fire
Her husband and her daughter and her baby
She tried to kill the pain
But the bullet just nicked her brain
Now y'all think she's insane
I just want to see ya, be with ya
Even when I'm gone, I'm here, right here with ya
I want to feel ya, heal with ya
Even when I'm gone, I'm here, right here with ya
Doctors say that's when she started seeing spirits
The first ones were her daughter and her baby
And that's why I need to see her
Cuz I know that she's a seer
And I have things to be seen
She lives in hiding on that hill
And they say there's no way I'll ever find her
I search day and night
And then I see a campfire light
It's the lady of the hill
I just want to see ya, be with ya
Even when I'm gone, I'm here, right here with ya
I want to feel ya, heal with ya
Even when I'm gone, I'm here, right here with ya
I call her name and go beside her
She falls to her knees as I cry to her:
I say, "You need to know I'm fine
And my love for you won't die
Like I did in that fire"
"I love you Lady of the Hill
And I'll take care of our daughter and our baby
Oh my darling wife
Live a wonder-filled life
Cuz that's the magic pill
To fill holes you couldn't fill
And kill pain you couldn't kill"
I just want to see ya, be with ya
Even when I'm gone, I'm here, right here with ya
I want to feel ya, heal with ya
Even when I'm gone, I'm here, right here with ya
I just want to see ya, be with ya
Even when I'm gone, I'm here, right here with ya
I want to feel ya, heal with ya
Even when I'm gone, I'm here, right here with ya
I just want to see ya, be with ya
Even when I'm gone, I'm here, right here with ya
I want to feel ya, heal with ya
Even when I'm gone, I'm here, right here with ya
I just want to see ya, be with ya
Even when I'm gone, I'm here, right here with ya
I want to feel ya, heal with ya
Even when I'm gone, I'm here, right here with ya
Victor lyrics - Cloud Cult
Come on Dad, let's go down to the river
Can't you hear them singing your name?
You've been laying in this bed for months now
And it's hard to see you in pain
Oh, your love, you could not explain
And the words you chose not to say
I can feel you slipping away
There's an old farm road that'll lead your ghost to heaven
But I know you're a little afraid
I wish I could still be that kid in the back of your Buick
Making sure you get there okay
Dad, we may differ in how we pray
But wherever you go, save me a place
I can feel you slipping away
There's a cold, dark desk down in the corner of the basement
Where you worked your days away
I can never claim to know your story
But I love you just the same
Oh, your love, you could not explain
And the words you chose not to say
And the family you fought hard to raise
And the friends who celebrate your name
And the sickness that strangled your brain
And the secrets you took to your grave
And the feelings you kept in a cage
And the sorrow that came out as rage
I can feel you slipping away
I can feel you slipping away
I can feel you slipping away
Come on Dad, let's go down to the river
Can't you hear them singing your name?
Song From Oblivion lyrics - Cloud Cult
For a moment you could feel, like you never felt before
In your mind you set fire to all the billboards
'Til the cars disappear and it's just you on a horse
And something inside you says you're finally ready, baby
The panic in your chest is the call of the wild
It's the song from oblivion, it's the end of denial
Now you're calling your doctor cuz you're crying like a child
But something inside you says you're finally ready
The moment you realize you're made out of earth
Is the moment you feel your heart start to give birth
Now you're saying "I love you, and where does it hurt?"
And something inside you says you're finally ready, baby
It's the pissed-off rantings when there shouldn't have been a word
All your broken pieces are a buffalo herd
The moment you surrender you turn into birds
And then something inside you says you're finally ready
You gotta set down the baggage you picked up as a kid
You know you're only good as the sins you forgive
Gotta give yourself grace for the way that you lived
And something inside you says you're finally ready, baby
You hear the call of the wild
You hear the Song from Oblivion
You can just make out the words as the spirits are singing them
"Children, we love you, now go make this right again"
It's the smell of the campfire, the beat of the drummer
You look in the mirror and see your great grandmother
All of the ancestors under the streets
Lift up their song singing "You're finally ready, baby"
Bigger Than Me lyrics - Cloud Cult
Knowing I know nothing is the only thing I know
Hold my hand and don't let go
You'll find me in the woods trying to dig up a little hope
I don't need a temple, cuz this is all one Holy Ghost
Knowing I know nothing means I just know here and now
So turn off my brain, cuz it's too freakin' loud
And let's do the hokey pokey, if that's what it's all about
I can't think it with my mind and I can't speak it with my mouth
It's something bigger than me
It's something bigger than me
Knowing I know nothing means I cannot explain
Why some get it easy and others just get pain
And it makes me wanna curse as much as it makes me wanna pray
But for some Goddamn reason I get to wake up another day
And that's something bigger than me
That's something bigger than me
Back then we had the gratitude to live life on our knees
We had a million gods, because we worshipped every leaf
Now you say there's nothing out there that you can believe
But everywhere I look I see it staring back at me
It's something bigger than me
Something bigger than me
Knowing I know nothing is the only thing I know
Hold my hand and don't let go
Knowing I know nothing is the only thing I know
Hold my hand and don't let go
Knowing I know nothing is the only thing I know
Hold my hand and don't let go
When I have my doubts about the meaning of this life
I see it in my children, and I see it in my wife
I don't need the answers, I just need a friend
Cuz the only thing worth knowing is love in the end
That's something bigger than me
That's something bigger than me
Everything that you do, it goes on, it goes on
Everything that you feel, it goes on, it goes on
All that you know, it goes on, it goes on
All of your love, it goes on, it goes on

[Prince Humperdink:] That may be the first time in my life a man has dared insult me!
[Westley:] It won't be the last. To the pain means the first thing you'll lose is your feet below the ankles. Then your hands at the wrist. Next your nose
[Prince Humperdink:] And then my tongue I suppose, I killed you too quickly the last time, a mistake I don't mean to duplicate tonight!
[Westley:] I wasn't finished! The next thing you lose will be your left eye followed by your right
[Prince Humperdink:] And then my ears I understand, let's get on with it!
[Westley:] Wrong! Your ears you keep and I'll tell you why: So that every shriek of every child that's seen your hideousness will be yours to cherish. Every babe that weeps at your approach. Every woman who cries out, "Dear God, what is that thing?" will echo in your perfect ears. That is what to the pain means. It means I leave you in anguish. Wallowing in freakish misery forever

State Of The Union lyrics - Cloud Cult
Mr. Speaker, members of Congress and fellow citizens.
Every year by law and by custom we meet here to threaten the world.
The American flag stands for corporate scandals, recession, stock market declines, blackmail, burning with hot irons, mutilation with electric drills, cutting out tongues, terror, mass murder.
Our first goal is to show utter contempt for the environment.
I have sent you a comprehensive energy plan to devastate communities, kill wildlife, and burn away millions of acres of treasured forest.
To date we have arrested or otherwise dealt with many key commanders of Al Queda.
They include a man who directed logistics and funding for the CIA; members of Congress; Vice President Cheney; one of them was found in the department of Defense.
One by one the terrorists are learning we are building a culture to encourage international terrorism.
Three months ago the United Nations Security Council gave Saddam Hussein his final chance to disarm.
Security of State Powell will plant information to incite fear about Iraq's links to terrorist groups.
And tonight I have a message for the people of Irag "Go home and die."
Trusting in the sanity and restraint of the United States is not a strategy and it is the end of the civilized world.

Lies lyrics - Cloud Cult
I taught you how to live
I told you it was right
But someone gave you cancer
From the hole in the sky, the earth, I see
And you demand to know the truth
And these lies will bury us all alive
And these lies will bury us all alive
So it seems you're part of the problem
And this guilt won’t go away
So years go by, you learn to turn it off
Pretend that you're not lost
Forget what the past is
And follow the masses
And these lies will bury us all alive
And these lies will bury us all alive
And so you've been told
That you are the man
The kingship fucking lord of the land
The one for whom this exists
So take what you wish
You’re choking on your own bliss
And these lies will bury us all alive
And these lies will bury us all alive
These lies will bury us all alive
And these lies will bury us all alive
And these lies will bury us all alive
And these lies will bury us all alive
And these lies will bury us all alive
And these lies will bury us all alive
Lies, lies, lies, lies
You shall have dominion over the fish of the sea
Dominion over the birds of the heavens
Over all the earth
Over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth
Go forth children
Multiply
Fill the earth
And subdue it
These lies will bury us all alive
And these lies will bury us all alive
And these lies will bury us all alive
And these lies will bury us all alive
And these lies will bury us all alive
And these lies will bury us all alive
Lies, lies, lies, lies
I told you it was right
But someone gave you cancer
From the hole in the sky, the earth, I see
And you demand to know the truth
And these lies will bury us all alive
And these lies will bury us all alive
So it seems you're part of the problem
And this guilt won’t go away
So years go by, you learn to turn it off
Pretend that you're not lost

And these lies will bury us all alive
And these lies will bury us all alive
And so you've been told

And these lies will bury us all alive
These lies will bury us all alive
And these lies will bury us all alive
And these lies will bury us all alive
And these lies will bury us all alive
And these lies will bury us all alive
And these lies will bury us all alive
Lies, lies, lies, lies

Close lyrics - Cloud Cult
It's the feel of the water as you're breathing it in
You're food for the fish so you will live again
It's the weight in your lungs when you were getting high
You'd spit out but you'd really like to see the other sid
It's the taste of her sweat when she was pulling you in
Like the mouthful of ocean that your drowning in
And your bones your brains and your skin are not as much yours as you thought they were
It's the ringing in your ears when you were feverish and sick
That's the sound of the other side so you'd better get used to it
It's the things that you see out of the corner of your eye
Everyone will tell you that it's nothing so walk on blind
It's the feeling that your falling when you first go to sleep
Like your soul's trying to separate but it can't quite break free
And your bones your brains and your skin are not as much yours as you thought they were
You can't come back again, back again
You can't come back again
It's your life flashing before you when you realize what you had
In retrospect it's beautiful but it's too late to go back
It's the light in the tunnel sucking you through
It's the deep regret of the things you never got to do
It's your last breath your last laugh the end of the show
It's the spark in your eye when you finally let go
And your bones your brains and your skin are not as much yours as you thought they were
You can't come back again, back again [x2]
Please don't let me go on [x3]
You're food for the fish so you will live again
It's the weight in your lungs when you were getting high
You'd spit out but you'd really like to see the other sid

Like the mouthful of ocean that your drowning in
And your bones your brains and your skin are not as much yours as you thought they were

That's the sound of the other side so you'd better get used to it
It's the things that you see out of the corner of your eye

You can't come back again, back again [x2]

Do You Ever Think About... lyrics - Cloud Cult
Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful
You ever think about suicide?
Excuse me?
Suicide
Not recently
I think about it all the time
I want to come back as a turtle
Turtles are very nice
Yes they are
What are you? Like, this frightened little boy?
You're just afraid of everything? Huh?
You're just afraid huh?
You're so scared
Why?
Why does it have to be like this?
I don't want to hurt you
Why does it have to be like this?
I don't want to hurt you
Why does it have to be like this?
I don't want to hurt you
Why does it have to be like this?
Life is beautiful
You ever think about suicide?
Excuse me?

Why does it have to be like this?
I don't want to hurt you
Why does it have to be like this?
I don't want to hurt you
Why does it have to be like this?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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 if ever I can’t see the magic around me,

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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're here to let your walls down one by one.

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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..."
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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!"

Yeah, there's a fight for control at the party in your head.

Who wants to play? "Give it to 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.
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.
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"
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.
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.

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 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.

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 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.
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
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?

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,

It's so! So! So! So!
And everybody here is a cloud
And everybody here will evaporate this

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

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!
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.
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.
Okay, Houston, as I stand out here in the wonders of the unknown,

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)
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
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

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.
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.

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
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

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
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.
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
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

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.
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,

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?
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"
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
(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

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"
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...
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
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"
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
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

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]
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]

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.
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!
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"
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
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

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 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

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
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
