I have reason to believe, spider
There is no one here but us
Although this house is very big, spider
As many rooms as you have legs
No flesh fills it, no heart beats it
No one wakes and no one sleeps
I am large and you are small
You haven't left that wall at all

Do you ever feel like a speck, spider
In the vastness of that wall?
A small black speck, a vulnerable target
Wish that I could change all that
Hunting all day, still believe
That they're the hunter, you're the prey
And if you hope and if you pray
They'll let you live another day

I have reason to believe, spider
He's never coming home anymore
And it will always be me and you, spider
He was a flower in the ointment
Of my loneliness, I get undressed
I rub the salve on my skin
Pull the wool over my head
And let him crawl into my bed

Where does he go, when he goes where he goes?

Well, I've been talking to myself lately
But I never answer back
And I am talking to the spider
Whose voice is soft like a little bell
There's something that he wants to tell me
But I only hear him faintly
I come in close, I listen softly
To his little bell

Then he goes, there he goes, there he goes
Where does he go when he goes where he goes?

Rainbow Black

That bird can't fly
that bird can't fly
that bird can't sky high
Levitate the will won't do
to rise above ground spill
won't do to rise above

Rainbow black
Rainbow black
endless beating
won't bring your wings back

That water's edge
dreary and dredge
no mothers come to the sea
No fishermen
no bait and net
no tourist no native

Rainbow black
Rainbow black
endless beating
won't bring your wings back

The water is wide
the water is dry
when nothing can give life
That bird is walking
and that rock is talking
and this sand

Rainbow black
Rainbow black
endless talking
won't bring these things back

Do We Entrain?

Do we entrain
linking up like atoms
are we the same
or like magnets attracting
will we remain
synched up like watches
can I change into who I was

Wishing I could kiss the rain
(banging on the drum)
Wishing I could kiss the rain

Do we entrain
with television
can we refrain
from this company of thieves
thicker than most
low level electricity
seeping into our blood
and the bones of posterity

Wishing I could kiss the rain
(banging on the drum)
Wishing I could kiss the rain

what is that?
well I see you are waiting
what is that?
well I see you are taking
what is that?
well I see you are changing

Do we entrain
each aligning new light
shadows recede
you never touch the same man twice
love brings order
and God is divine

Do we entrain
are you with me on this?
If love's a chain
does it have to be a fence
Oh I know inside of me
there's a wall where a window should be
