Secret Samadhi Lyrics

This is Live's fourth album. It was released in 1997.


Rattlesnake

let's go hang out in a mall, or a morgue,
a smorgasbord
let's go hang out in a church
we'll go find lurch then we'll haul a** down through the abbey
is it money, is it fame
what's in a name, shame?
is it money, is it fame
or were they always this lame?
it's a crazy, crazy mixed up town
but it's the rattlesnake I fear
in another place, in another time
I'd be drivin' trucks my dear
I'd be skinnin' hunted deer deer
let's go hang out in a bar
it's not too far we'll take my car
we'll lay flowers at the grave of jesco white
the sinner's saint
the rack is full and so are we
of laughing gas and ennui


Lankini's Juice

it was an evening I shared with the sun
to find out where we belong
from the earliest days
we were dancing in the shadows
more wine
cuz I got to have
it more skin
cuz I got to eat it
inside the outside
by the river
used to be so clam
used to be so sane
I rushed to the lady's room
took the water from the toilet
washed her feet and blessed her name
more peace
is such a dirty habit
slow down, we're too afraid
let me ride
let me ride
burn my eyes
let me ride


Graze

people should not be afraid
we came to the earth to graze
no shortcuts to the face, this means you
a child gives his shoes
people should not be afraid
we came to the earth to graze
if it slithers into the haze
it can't be true
a child gives his shoes
in the early morning, cut her down
this pill, she needs your love
forget your mother and your father
they aren't important son
we came to this earth to graze
everyone's diggin in
now there's no time to live live
people should not be afraid
the artist does figure eights
but will it stand the test of time
or will it rot
like the mission that tried too hard
in the early morning, cut her down
this pill, she needs your love
forget your mother and your father
you'll fall apart inside


Century

everybody's here
puke stinks like beer
this could be a city
this could be a graveyard
you stole my idea
you stole my idea
everybody's anxious
for the coming of the crisis
I can smell your armpits
you stole my idea
you stole my idea
you stole my idea
this puke stinks liek beer
and everybody's here
come on, come on, come on
let's lay waste to this century
come on, come on, come on
everybody's anxious
the crowd is all around
us the followerd of Aldous
are spinning with their mescaline
a man behind the altar screams
you stole my idea
you stole my idea
on the edge of a kiss, smack on the lips
dangled with tongue
on the edge of peace that can't stand low
and won't stand tall
it's amazing what we can do with love
with some matchs and gasoline, so with love!
it's amazing what we can do with love


Ghost

everybody has a ghost
everybody has a ghost who sings like you do
yours is not like mine
but it's alright, keep it up
boy loses rib in new orleans
he can't help eyein up the whores
under the bridge
boy loses rib and lets hellified cry into the dark
where did I go wrong?
where did I go wrong?
I never needed this before
I need a woman to help me feel
everybody has the dream
everybody has the dream like a world tattoo
yours is not mine, it's alright, keep it up
the scalpel dives into the skin good
doctors never leave a scar
no proof again
I'll take my myth, you take the blood
it's all the same to the world dreamer
it's all the same in the end
boy loses rib in new orleans
he trades some ether for a chance
under the bridge
boy loses rib as he's summoned to the mud
flat on his back cryin where did I go wrong?


Unsheathed

the babies not screamin enough,
the singers not singing enough,
Ramanas not breathing to us,
behold the unsheathing, it's love,
the blade is not ready to cut,
it's dull from out thinking, it's rough
free love is a world I can't linger too long in,
free love was just another party for the hippies to ruin,
behold the unsheathing, it's love,
behold the unsheathing, it's love
free love is a knife through the jugular vein son,
free love, I can't afford to add up what you f***ers are made of,
free love is a world that I can't linger too long in,
free love was just another party for the hippies to ruin.
yyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!


Insomnia And The Hole In The Universe

my brother kicked his feet to sleep
my brother kicked his feet to sleep
my brother kicked his feet to sleep
and I sang the dirge song
my brother never missed a beat
my brother kicked his feet to sleep, sweet feet,
my brother kicked his feet to sleep
and I sang the dirge song
Angel, don't you have some bagels in my oven?
Lady, don't you know a man when you see one?
Crazy lady with the shiny shoes, where are you?
kick your feet and clam the space that makes you hollow
little swami's got his bowl to eat
little swami's always walks to the beat, sweet feet
little swami's got this bowl to eat
and I sing dirge song
it's amazing how they come to see
the little swami with his bowl to eat, sweet feet
the little swami only wears a sheet
and won't sing the dirge song
anan, tight-a**ed soldier with that dogged heart
put down your gun
we are ready to explode, we gotta take it smart
and take it slow


Turn My Head

anyone, caught in your mystery
keep it angry
keep it whispy
I've fallen down
drunk on your jucies
turn my
head turn my head
it's aimes at you
funky temple
your dress is torn to shreds
your eyes are crazy
I bowed to save my head and
I can't forget you but I can't remember
turn my
head turn my head
it's aimed at you
oh no,
we came to love you all day
these b*st*rds are leavin
somebody's got to stay
whatever we called you
it's just a name
just a name


Heropschodreamer

I'll kill you in my dreams
I turn the other cheek during the day
I'll kill you all
the subculture of my dreams
is waiting for me to fall asleep
I know you're scared, you should be
I know you're scared
hero
dreamer
this attic of my mind
these feelings I can't hide
I can't share
I feel alone, ah yeah
the subconscious keeps me here
I feel in love with a balladeer
I saw your tongue, it licked my heart
they called you queer
hero
dreamer
hero
they called you queer
they called you queer
they called you queer
they called you queer


Freaks

If the mother goes to sleep with you
will you run and tell geraldo
If the mother bears your children without tears
without the usual costs of labor
if the mother goes to bed with you will
you run and tell the neighbors
will you hide behind that get up that you wear
or will take the first ear that comes into contact with your blade
like peter did on the hill
will you call her a freak?
will you call them freaks?
if the mother goes to bed with you
will you run and tell the papers
how she picked you from a line up in downtown philadelphia
with a cigarette hangin' out of your mouth and henry miller in your back pocket
you little f***er
if the mother goes to bed with you
in the bowels of the cathedral
will you render her asunder with what she really needs
or will you crash that beautiful silence with some talk about
finding yourself in your mother's arms
will you call her a freak
will you call them freaks
or will you call them gods
will you call them freaks
you know your sperm is weak
you never looked, so high
to ever find her so low
you did not have to go, that far
to show her you were holy
now you know they're gonna come for you
and drag your silly name into the mud
if the mother bears your children without tears
and without the usual cost of labor


Merica

Looks like america's dropped her load
she was ready to explode
I could not see her from up here
cuz she was lyin' in the road
my head's in the ground
I can't make a sound
my head's in the ground
Looks like america's dropped her load
she tried to call me on the telephone
"everything is fine, now the baby's here!"
she'll have to handle this one on her own
my head's in the ground
I can't make a sound
the priests were all stoned
california was in my mind
and love was a game that we played
my head's in the ground
I can't make a sound
the priests were all stoned
the fact that you moaned
my head's in the ground...


Gas Hed Goes West

if I was half alive
then you were dead
subsistin' on that same old bread
it's the memory that hides
the whole wide world
it's the gas hed's love of america
it's the memory that hides
take your photographs back
for the love of all gods
our gas hed marches on
our gas hed marches on
He's a bonified man
a star amongst his clan
and the only one that let me ride
it's the memory that dies
our gas hed was right
when they lanced his skull
there was puss and light
it's the memory that dies
so take your photographs back
for the love of all gods
our gas hed marches on
our gas hed marches
it's the memory that dies
and make your photographs black
for the love of all gods
our gas hed marches on
our gas hed marches on
gas hed is on the radio, radio, radio
