"No Tribe"
No Tribe
Im talking bout No Tribe
Say No Tribe
No Tribe Ill ever be
Im Talking No Tribe
Im gonna join No Tribe
No Tribe
Yeah, They'll be no tribe for me
Cause that's where all the trouble begins
In thinking you're separate from me
Sign here
I don't think I want to sign here
Wont you Sign here
And you leave it all to me
Just sign here
I don't think I'm gonna sign here
Sign there
Yeah they'll never let you be
Cause that's where all the trouble begins
In thinking you're separate from me
Lao Tzu
Yeah I'm gonna do a Lao Tzu
Lao Tzu
Riding off and being free
Turn the tide
Yeah I think it's time to turn the tide
Man up,
The high cost of being free
Now I'm gonna find me a water buffalo
And we're gonna ride into eternity
According to Chinese legend, in 500 BC
The wise old sage Lao Tzu
was the philosophical advisor to the emperor
But neither the emperor nor mankind
Had much interest in the ways of the perennial philosophy
So Lao Tsu discouraged by their apathy
Climbed atop a water buffalo and rode off into the desert
Never to be heard of again
He did however write down the IChing as he left
Riding out into eternity

“No One Calls Out for Pythagoras”
I’d like to present you some very strange math
It conveys just how much I care
10 pages or so of twists and curves
Please tell me it moves you there
Our essence reduced to an engine
Of hot steam and burning coal
Just look what our new tech can do for you
Now how can we effect this strange machine
We’ll pull on this, insert into that
Consciousness reduced to a block of cheese
It’s all in that big hunk of cheese
They come back exclaiming there’s God
We tell them their oxygen’s low
Heaven’s just a hole in a chemical chart
Chorus
400 years of science, yes it freed the neighbor’s witch
But we’re crushing all the Spirit, the reason s we exist
Without the precious balance, we gonna dry up inside
Cause no one calls out for Pythagoras when they die
Da da da
The greatest risk to my own health
is working in the modern health
Mechanics’ cars up on blocks
How did we get into this
Too much reliance on one tool
We’re cutting the person to fit
We cutting the person, to fit the coat

Romance
I had such a peaceful night, I'm starting to feel alright
With the wind so warm and strong, haven't been to myself for so long
This time alone, here all alone
I know that it sounds so sad, but this feeling is not all bad
I've been grieving this day to day
What a terrible price we pay for love gone bad, addictions that we had
But this night, the wind breathes, forgiveness in every soothing breeze
And i hope you'll also, find comfort, in the things that you know
Cause my time with you, was much more true, than just some romantic glow
Romance doesn't know
It's all culture that sells this shit, every love song is a hit
but a soul cut off from its source, is destined for hurt and remorse
When two are one, the fighting has to come
But this night, the wind breathes, forgiveness in every soothing breeze
And i hope, you'll also, find comfort, in the things that you know
Cause my time with you, was much more true, than just some romantic glow
Romance doesn't know
Doesn't know Doesn't know

MayDay! (lyrics)
Hey….Is it time to go?
As if the time could not run any faster
Is it time to go?
Things that come undone
Is it time to go?
Hey….now is it time to see?
With all those angry digital distractions.
Is It time to see?
Things that come undone
Is it time to leave?
May, my heart beats faster
Day, what am I after
Crawling, no one moves faster
Falling, and soon here after
May, out goes the signal
Day, a precious signal.
Subtle, a vague transmission
Calling, a noble mission.
Hey, now Is it time to be?
As if you really could do something different
Is it time to see?
Things that come undone
Things that go undone
Things that come undone
Is it time to be?
Bridge:
How long, how long with the distraction
You must sit down right now, and do the work
Eternity, so say Blake and Pressfield
Is in love with the creations here in time
Leads:
May, out goes the signal
Day, a precious signal.
Subtle, a vague transmission
Calling, a noble mission.
You’ll see me down the road some
You’ll see me down the road
You’ll see me down the road some
I know, I know

"Francis and BeavUs"
Lighten up Francis
Settle down Beavus
Lighten up Francis
Settle down Beavus
Only Tall Paul really knows what it means
Lighten up Francis
Settle down Beavus
Now I’m feeling frantic
Better ask Julius
He took off his glasses
Now he can see us
Only Tall Paul really knows what It means
He took off his glasses
Now he can see us
You want to go dancing
Better call a seebus
You want to go chancing
Nothing can please us
Only Tall Paul really knows what it means
Lighten up Francis
Setlle down Beavus
Now’s the fun part
Explain away this mess
Nothing to confess
Time on line now
Rare connectedness
G# bridge
Lighten up Francis
Settle down Beavus
Only Tall Paul really knows what it means
Now’s the fun part
Explain away this mess
Nothing to confess
I’m on line now
Disconnectedness
