"Four Songs" (EP) Lyrics

Four Songs

1) Operation Spirit
2) Good Pain
3) Heaven Wore A Shirt
4) Negation

Released: 1991
Label: Radioactive Records
Operation Spirit

heard alot of talk about the ocean
heard alot of talk about the sea
heard alot of talk about alot of things
never meant that much to me

heard alot of talk about my spirit
heard alot of talk about my soul
but I decided that anxiety and pain
were better friends
so I let it go

did you let it go?
let's get it back,
let's get it back together,

heard alot of talk about this Jesus
a man of love, a man of strength
but what a man was two thousand years ago
means nothing at all to me today

he could have been telling me about my higher self
but he only lives inside my prayer
so what he was may have been beautiful
but the pain is right now and right here

let it go!
let it go!
let it go, my friend
and let's get it back
let's get it back together

Good Pain

he said, he said, he said,
"there was nothing to fear, boy"
and he said, he said, he said,
"worthless are your tears boy"

"just realize your senses
and realize your earth
just realize your essence first"

well, don't you know, now I
I'll never be the same again
I want to walk in the sun
I am alive and well again
no more bittersweet
no more good pain
no more

so many of us stand in the middle
looking back to the worst
looking forward to the fall
making weapons of peace for the defense
of the bloodstains on our peaceful sidewalks

you say the buildings got too tall
and they're going to fry your brother
well, I say you'd better walk away, walk away, walk away,
and find your mother

no more bittersweet
no more good pain

If I can't sing this song
and tell you all about it
then I'll just pack it up right now and walk away
don't even doubt it

so when our sherry glass is full
and the day is way too young
you'd better sip today, sip today, sip today
before it's gone

no more bittersweet
no more good pain

Heaven Wore A Shirt

Suddenly she came
Like a come that comes and goes
With a sweetness in her eyes
And a ring between her nose

Walking down the beach
We saw a castle made of pain
We went inside
Rings were exchanged
And heaven wore a shirt

That said
I really, really, really ove you
I really, really, really love you

Suddenly it came
Into my mind not preconceived
A dream of many oceans
And not the God that I believed

But like the come that came and went
My mind just had to intercede
The need for repetition arose
Now heaven wears a shirt

That says
I really, really, really got to have you

 

up

Negation

Never used to be so tired
Never used to be so anxious
Never said "used to be" so much

If this is love then I
Have been so sorely mistaken
If this is peace then I
Have been so falsely awakened

Please don't tell me what love is
Let's look together
And find out what love is not

I've been to every book
I've been to every seer
In order to find the truth
As if it lives somewhere

I want to uproot my violence
I want to live like a saint
I want to give up everything

Just like the businessman wants to gain
Just like the businessman wants to gain

Please don't tell me what peace is
Let's look together
And find out what love is not
