Blue Skinned Gods (live)

Inside I'm out and I don't know whose thoughts I'm thinking
I'd rationalize if I only had a clue
And yellow and red are the colours to which I swear allegiance
And I follow them back to you

And it's love love love
It's love
And it's love love love
It's love

Oh yeah, whoa yeah
I'm living in the lap of the blue skinned Gods

She's filling the air with hibiscus and magnolia
The sandalwood trees lit like matches in the sun
She's singing her songs by the waters of the Ganges
She's singing God is the only one, God is the only one

And it's love love love
It's love
And it's love love love
It's love

Oh yeah, whoa yeah
I'm living in the lap of the blue skinned Gods
Oh yeah, whoa yeah
I'm living in the lap of the blue skinned gods

She's whispering words that fall like pearls upon the water
I'm here in the things that you wouldn't believe were true
A thousand wings move to her voice under Temura
And I follow them back to you, I follow them back to you

And it's love love love
It's love
And it's love love love
It's love

Oh yeah, whoa yeah
I'm living in the lap of the blue skinned gods
Oh yeah, whoa yeah
I'm in the lap of the blue skinned gods

Wasn't I Joe? (live)

I was strong myself when I started, in on you... Wasn't I Joe? Normal strength?

Don't stay away too long love
I sense that somethings wrong
Don't stay away too long love
Don't stay away too long

And the minutes last a lifetime
We've mastered ways of moving slow
She took the children and the checkbook
Should I have really let her go?

Don't stay away too long love
Don't stay away too long

I was strong myself when I started, wasn't I Joe?


There's a moving recitation
Played out inside my head
With an eloquence I don't possess
I think its better left unsaid

Where's the examples that we needed
A man and wife who walk the line
Give me something to aspire to
Not in a lifetime, not in our lives


I was strong myself when I started, wasn't I Joe?


Don't stay away too long love
I know that somethings wrong
There's a sadness I can't live with
Don't stay away too long

Today's the day before I met her
And these things pass unrecognized
These are the shoes, that was the workplace
And this the car in which we cried

So many hours of conversation
I doubt there's anything left unsaid
No hope of reconciliation
Slowly pacing 'round my bed

And the walls hear no disturbance
The screaming from the insides too
She with left with everything we lived for
The everything of me and you


I was strong myself when I started, in on you... Wasn't I Joe? Normal strength?


I was strong myself when I started, wasn't I Joe? Wasn't I Joe?


Lifelines run throughout the notebooks
A life in letters scribbled out
There's no place left now for reflection
We're not leaving room for doubt

I've got you pictured in my mind love
You're off the bus and running free
I'll keep the memories and the pretense
The ghosts of who we used to be

And I'll be nothing like my father
We'll wash the sheets as if by hand
And you'll be nothing like my mother
We're abandoning the plan
(Unsure What he says here)

Wasn't I Joe?
Wasn't I Joe?


I was strong myself when I started, in on you... Wasn't I Joe? Normal strength?


And sometimes life is frightening
And everything comes on strong
So we're holding on for dearlife
'Til something better comes along

'Til something better comes along
'Til something better comes along
