(dFranx sings)
what a heavy load Babylon stone
i steady lift up before you drag me down
i'm not giving up 'till they bury my bones
what a heavy load Babylon stone
what a heavy load Babylon stone
i steady lift up before you drag me down
i'm not giving up 'till they bury my bones
what a heavy load Babylon stone
one step forward, two steps backward
one step forward, two steps backward
one step forward, two steps backward
one step forward, no steps backward

singer man
sing me a song
right now i'm hurting
from the wounds inside

you'll find a way
i'll find a way
back to my heart

right now i'm searching
for someplace to hide
singer man come
tell me to stand up in love

and now i know

i'll find a way
back to my heart

i dropped in from outer-space
'cause it seemed like such a lovely place
to relax my martian feet
and find something green to eat
caught my first sunrise
and it blew my mind
the redding of blueish skies
and a warm wind kissed my eyes
was chatting with a big gray whale
she had such a lovely large tail
she told be all about the seas
and the earth sounded perfect to me
but then she told me 'bout the humans
she said they were confusing
they talk about heaven
but they don't love the one they're living in
oh the humans
why they gotta do that
why they gotta be that way
it's making me crazy
i said there's got to be some mistake
what would ever live that way
i traveled on only to find
my whale she wasen't out of her mind
'cause i was rapping with a redwood tree
he was as high as can be
he shook all his mighty leaves
and then he cried in-front of me
oh the humans
they're so confusing
they talk about paradise
then they put black smoke up in the skies
oh the humans
why they gotta do that
why they gotta be that way
it's making me crazy
been about thirty years
and i'm still here
don't know when i'll be moving on
but i know it won't be long
please don't get me wrong now
i love this place
so much beauty to see
natural variety
but oh the humans
they're so confusing
they dream of a lasting peace
so why won't they let it be
oh the humans
whay they gotta do that
why they gotta be that way
making me crazy
the humans.

i been trying for days on end
to get this message off to you my friend
but each and every time
i think i got that line
the words don't come out right
i been laying awake in bed
steady stream of verbage running through my head
o each and every time
i try try try
the words don't come out right
i thought i might have had it right there
but i guess it slipped my mind
o wait a minute here it comes
shucks my pen wen't dry
what i wouldn't give to catch the cat that's got my tongue
instead i watch her as she runs
what i really wanna know right now
do you think it's possible someway, somehow
for you to forgive me and just dance tonight
even if the words don't come out right

that you might season your reason
with a touch of equality
that you might lessen up the salt
so we can taste the flavor of harmony
or will you be

karmic basis says be careful
things can change at the drop of a dime
down here on earth it seems some people have lost their mind
mine is made up of word sound and power
mine is made up of word power sound
this wisdom came from mistakes i've made
and in this life i've found
some people have to touch the fire
some people have to get burnt
some people have to touch the fire
before they ever learn
h

karmic basis says that
it's what keeps half the world with a smile day to day
judge not
before you judge yourself
as bob marley did say
i say the truth lives in between us
wave to wave and day to day
momma always said she could have changed my name
to danny-learn-the-hard-way
some people have to touch the fire
some people have to get burned
some people have to touch the fire
before they ever learn

empty pockets
but tonight i fill you up till you can see the ocean swimming
in the bottom of your cup
empty pockets
traded all i had for truth
stronger in the moment now
i've nothing left to loose
empty pockets
not a dollar to my name
o darling i would stretch my soul
to shelter you from pain
and in the dance they move
locked in the groove
like they're sharing just one mind
never-mind the rain
they're on another plane
i swear it's like a natural high
the vibe and rhyme
stronger than wine
kinder than the kindest kind
everyone feel fine
stepping in time
everything is gonna be alright
empty pockets
and i'm miles away from home
safe for the fire in my heart
to warm these aching bones
empty pockets
lord i wish i had a dime
so i could call to say i thank you
and that i'm doing fine
sweet and tragic
high's and lows and in-betweens
i don't know how you painted it
but i know just what it means
when in the dance they move
locked in the groove
like they're sharing just one mind
never-mind the rain
they're on another plane
i swear it's like a natural high
the vibe and rhyme
stronger than wine
kinder than the kindest kind
everyone feel fine
stepping in time
everything is gonna be alright

in this life
my challenge
you bring
me balance
though i bend i know i'll never break
this time we spend could not be a mistake
i'll just stay strong
give more love
one thing
i'm sure of
in your arms is where i wanna be
in this way
my sister
i'm gonna stay
for ever
through the rain you know i'll give you shelter
these growing pains they made me so much wiser
go on believe in to
you know it's true
do you feel like dancing with me
'cause i wanna dance with you
in this heart
my lover
we're gonna live
together
i know you want to make our future plans
but for now we're doing all we can
i just
stay strong
give more love
one thing
i'm sure of
in your arms is where i wanna be
