This Is Shangrila

i've been around the world and i wrote a million songs
it's all a bore to me
i've slept in the gutter and i've lied to the dogs
it never bothered me
the sheriff he came to with his little boys in blue
they been lookin for me
but with my crystal sheen guitar i'm another ego star
so give it to me......
get me to the stage - it brings me home again
this is shangrila
i'm trippin on it now - it brings me home again
this is shangrila
i look bad in shorts but most of us do
don't let that bother me
i'm the football who is who, i don't believe in smack
so don't you die on me
cause love is all good people need
music sets the sick ones free
without love no one ever grows nothing ever sings
this is shangrila
you have gathered for the feast
the bread is my body... the wine is blood
get me to the stage - it brings me home again
this is shangrila
i'm trippin on it now - it brings me home again

Stardog Champion

San Francisco, where the flowers bloom in spring
I said, fade to winter - and see what disease brings
Augustino, with his eyes once a shining sea
I said he's half a shadow - God don't let that be me
I'm a Stardog Champion

West Virginia, that's where my father lies
He was a wartime hero, the kind that money buys
It's a diamond bracelet, for my mommy's memory
That's all she wrote boy - that's all she wrote for me

I'm a Stardog Champion
I'm a Stardog
That's right

And the children
They used to sing of love
With Grace
From the Lord above
I said the children they used to sing out loud
Sing it loud

Holy Roller

Oooh baby gotta put me back together

I need your smooth dog lovin' oh, yeah
And so I'm sending off the little monster
Gonna turn it up inside your head

Do you believe?
Holy Roller
Like a holy roller
Like a holy roller
In my head

I said you loin queen parader
I'm gonna get you down on all fours
And then you gotta show me what you're made of - little darling
I'll meet you child - by the backdoor babe

Like a holy roller
Like a holy roller
To my head

The love-bone breakdown.

That's right.
All right you people.
See I, see I got somethin' to say to you people out there.
You gotta listen to me people, you gotta listen to me.
Yeeeeeah, the lord's comin' down people.
Yeeeeeah he's gonna take ya whole, he's gonna eat ya whole people.
Like a big grizzly bahr comin' out of the closet and eat ya whole.
Ya see the lord's gonna come and get ya people and ya gotta beware
because the Mother Love Bone camp knows what to do about it.
Ya see I been around I seen a lotta long haired freaks in my day,
but those boys in Mother Love Bone I'll tell ya they know what's right for ya.
Ya know they're like Malt-O-Meal for ya, they're good for ya.
They're like soup, they're like nothing bad, let me tell ya that much.
I tell ya people, the lord's comin', and if you don't believe,
and if you don't believe in what I can convey to ya, I tell ya people:
Love rock awaits ya people.
Yeeeah lo and behold, lo and behold...

Holy Roller
Like a holy roller
To my head

Bone China

In the morning
She gone crazy

With a painted picture
Her father's story

Bone China - my friends
Bone China - let the summer come again

She be dancing by the moonlit sky
I'm talkin' to you
She be drinking all my early times
She be movin' like a butterfly
I'm just waiting on that dream - because the fast ones always ride for free

Ugly morning - she's a Jezebel's daughter
She's like a Brunnhilda
A child of the water

Bone China - my friends
Bone China - let the summer come again

She be dancing in the moonlit sky
She be moving like a butterfly
She be shaking like a girl from shine
She be moving like 'a, high fallotin(?), like a

I'm just waiting on that dream - cause the fast one
The fast ones - always ride for free

Come Bite The Apple

how did i get here
what song did i sing
just what have i done to deserve such a thing
(you say - i've heard all that before)
(so won't you give it up and stop using me)
(i've heard all that before)
so bring me an apple, i'm crying
i been persecuted, like a lying man
the spirit provides me
its what i am today
this spirit it gives but also can take away
(and you say - i've heard all that before)
(so won't you give it up baby and stop using me)
(i've heard this all before)
so come bite the apple, i'm run down
like sodom to gommorah, all dead now
so please stop to laugh and pity me
my soul means well but i'm sorry
my skin it is withered and i'm nervous
my future was in my hands, till i washed it all away
get along little sister - i heard your doing well...
doing well...said get along little sister
heard your doing well

Stargazer

who defies all

and hold my arms
woman, woman, she outta mind

and simply out of soul
she gets me higher than anyone

i miss her so
stargazer you call the shots
and i take um
stargazer won't ya kick with me
(again)
dancer, dancer, i'm all wrong

she thinks she's young and wise
she dance around my cable car

and fix me up with a guy- why?
chorus

stargazer you cry in blue
anything i've ever seen
ain't as good as you
i'm not trying to push your feelings (inside)

but i know you hold me like a putty in yo' hands
cry for me and rub it in

cry for the saviors and the prophets son
dream of me and julie ann

oh xana come back again
(repeat last two lines)

Heartshine

Waste away my tears - babe I can't cry no more
No more, no less - My love

I said, my brother's drowning
Like a star babe, like a slower suicide
Me I gave mine away

I give you my heartshine
Yes I do
I give to you my heartshine
Only for you

A sad hello to death, I'm a stubborn goat on trial
No more, no less
I said time will tell, if love is gonna have the strength to push it
The strength to push my pain away

I give to you, I give to you my heartshine
I give to you my heartshine
I give you my heartshine
I give to you my...

Love flourishes
Love flourishes
You've gotta value love supreme
Love flourishes
Love flourishes

Man of golden words

Wanna show you something like
The joy inside my heart
Seems I've been living in the temple of the dog
Where would I live, if I were a man of golden words?
And would I live, at all?
Words and music, my only tools

And on her arrival, I will set free the birds
It's a pretty time of year, and the mountains sing out loud
Tell me, Mr. Golden Words, how's about the world?
Tell me can you tell at all?
Words and music, my only tools
Communication
Let's fall in love with music
The driving force in our living
The only international language
Divine glory, the expression
The knees bow, the tongue confesses
The lord of lords, the king of kings
The king of kings

Words and music - my only tools
Communication

so don't burn your bridges woman cause someday

Thru Fadeaway

You can fadeaway my love I will always -
Remember your faces, thru fadeaway -
Bless all of your eyes, I realize you're my reason
And I will always cherish the days, when our souls will be together
She's my sunshine, my moonshine
She's ma' hot, ma hotma Ghandi
She's my lady, she's from Euphrates
Sure 'nuff give that woman to me
You're just another one, just another statistic
You're needle-sickness, illed weakness
Yeah, you killed, yeah you killed, yeah you killed me boy

Mindshaker Meltdown

That old viscious screaming within
The talk of the building with the crash about
And broken glass it slides across his skin
They both cry till exhausted and wind up in each other's arms
It's a mindshaker meltdown
It's a spreading disease
I've seen it before girl, I hope they come after me
Cause I'm a bad motherfucker, selfish and sick
You better say your prayers baby cause it's coming down quick
It's a mindshaker meltdown
It's a spreading disease
It's a mindshaker meltdown
I hope they come after me
He lost control, her voice like a fire alarm
Realize he could've hurt his love without knowing it at all
It seems he transforms when she screams her song
Possesed by a broken window and her crying for love
It's a mass jubilation, with jesters and thieves
A kind of group masturbation as they crucify me
Cause I'm a hollywood dreamboy, a pinup in their eyes
I represent mama all you despise

Half Ass Monkeyboy

Scratching and dreaming till night turns into day
It's a surefire method to waste your life away
But I'm obliged to give you my disease
I'm abracadabra I do what I please
Stone cold mama - she's a bird from a feather
I focus all my energy, understanding you
Such a pretty little prancer in a burgandy blue
Witch hazel eyeballs taking care of love
Remember the key mama - understand my words
Stone cold mama - she's a bird from a feather
Half-assed monkeyboy (4x)
If you want a plate oof my beef swellington baby
You're gonna have to pay the cover charge
Open wide let me suck the gate

Chloe Dancer/Crown Of Thorns

Ooo, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Chloe don't know better
Chloe's just like me, only beautiful
A couple of years difference (Her trouble lovin' is different?)
But those lasses never learn and you know
Chloe danced the tables in the French Quarter
She's always been given so I can't always make her laugh
But I'm proud to say and I won't forget
The time spent laying by her side, oh yeah, yeah
The time spent laying by her side, oh yeah, yeah
Dreams like this must die
And a dream like this must die
Dream like this must...
