Eli on the rooftops
Takin' out the paper boy
Thought it was an M-16
And it was a B.B. toy
Eli, what you on?
This ain't no Vietnam
Let's try to keep it calm
Eli, drop your camouflage
I can see you plain and good
Your still just sixteen
Livin in a suburb neighborhood
Eli, you ain't no veteran
I thought you were my friend
Don't try that shit again!
<<Chorus>>
Eli, Eli, Eli
(4x)
Eli Eli
Moved to somewhere new
I can't imagine why...

Last night to where you slept
The thousand feet you crept
When you woke next morn
That’s when your wings were born
What had been your sanctuary
Now seems so temporary
The cocoon that held you in
You shed let life begin
Quick to touch the ground
I’m found you walk around
<<Bridge>>
Such a subtle sweet surprise
Once walking now
You rise
Such a subtle sweet surprise
Once walking now
<<Chorus>>
Now your wings are dry
As you flutter through the sky
And the wind you float upon
Now that your wings are born
(2x)
You found wings where feet used to be
Far away flight finally sets you free
Illusion fooling them with your disguise
Set adrift to realize
<<Bridge>>
<<Chorus>>
(4x)

Rejhi (Live)

Rarely am I airborne, fearlessly I’m flying
I nurture native gentle joy
A thankless heavy load to haul
Breaks me like a cannonball
A fisherman‘s dream, the ocean is boiling
I swoop into the foam to catch my prize
It’s moments like these
Drifting in the current, nowhere for a landing
The moon the master of the tide
Rejhi on the shoreline
Takes the time to unwind
The brilliant red sky, the dark deep below
I spread these open wings to catch my prize
It’s moments like these

Other People (Live)

I'm neurotic said the vertically impaired balding hair man
I need to see other people
I'm psychotic he stated, elated, and knowingly sedated
I am other people
So they went to the eating venue
And asked for a children's menu
Ordered up a child
The waitress replied, hot sauce or mild
She asked for her order
But she asked for just water
He gave an evil glare
He didn’t want to share
So he knew just what he had to do
He thought about it through and through
Cyanide her special k
On this special day
Corrupted Captain's Crunch
Took the honey from the bunch
<<Repeat 6x>>

The Wait (Live)

The wait is over
Now it's time
The wait is over
It's the end of the line
The end of the line

Mistress at Sea (Live)
08:13
|

|
When I ask you who you are I don't wanna know a name
I wanna know the person 'cause the names are just the same
When you wake tomorrow you know you won't recall
My name begins to phase out, as I wait you never call
So tell me all about you and I'll tell you the same
Tell you all about me, but you never know my name
So soon I must forget you, as you have done to me
And face the realization that I don't possess the key
So, I went down to the ocean to see what I might find
There I met a mermaid and it kinda blew my mind
On top lochs of gold, and a pair of wings to boot
One thing that struck me odd was her fishy swimming suit
Her tail was long and scaly, what is that all about?
I would have guessed her dolphin, but she did not have a snout
Instead a face of beauty for many years to be
To keep the sailors dreaming of their mistress at sea.
All the scenes have come together so that we can weather
The weather whatever the pleasure
The measure of treasure, the pleasure together
(5x)
