Once upon a time I was the hurricane boy There was no eye in me for you to hide Head low don’t show oceans in my eyes As the waves clap goodbye to sorrow
Daddy’s on the mountain yellin at the bloody sky Mama’s in the mirror actin out another life Children in the schoolyard singin ‘everybody dies’ And I am on the corner with a sentimental eye I am on the corner singin sentimental lies
Hopped up on a gypsy train with tracks that you can hide That way no storm could follow our tomorrows But Shackled to a suitcase full of automatic thunder CLAP! All hail to death’s boy-wonder
JJ’s in the kitchen talking bout the end of times Mo’s thowin Kerouac to Catch Her In the Rye Tempermental yogis bakin merryweather pie And I am on the corner with a sentimental eye I am on the corner singin sentimental lies
Sometimes said it’s suntime Let it sunshine on my mind
All the same its conscience waiting Cross the line
Last night I dreamed myself upon a golden glade The clouds passed in and out of my reflection And everyone I’ve known held my hands till they were clay And the storm finally bled from my complexion
Now Jadey’s on the mountain singing ‘We will never die’ The band is in the rainbow playin love for you and I Heath is riding shotgun aimin at the paper sky And I am only ‘I am’ now I’ve opened up my eye I am only ‘I am’ that I’ve opened up my eye
Sometimes said its suntime Let it sunshine on my mind Healing I need healing A good feeling I can Shine Feel it like you can see it Like you can dream it in your mind Sunny Hallelujah comin to ya Rain or shine
All the same its Conscience waiting Cross the line
