THE SOUND OF URCHIN - REJOICE LYRICS 1) Jesse Tenser Plant the seed and grow the flower Pick up your thoughts and take a shower Scrub your brain with antiseptic cleanser You'll remember everything you haven't done Was it that bad? Was it sometimes fun? Did you every think it would come to this? Is it weighing on you? Does it still exist? I want it all but I won't get it Hear that voice and try to let it Take your mind just one more time You'll never be right, you'll never be fine. Right, you're right, you should never give up the fight. But sometimes you have to surrender quietly and go. All the pride and all the glory gets lost in the need. It takes you back to selfish acts and just won't let you be. 2) Dig Cause and effect already have me met And I don't care just as long as I can get it Wheels are turning I am burning Can't you see that it's a part of me? It's in the way of the sign that if you look you will find Sometimes it's right in front of you Sometimes it's way behind, Dig. Listen listen can't you hear the ringing in your ear That's the sound that speaks to you it's everything you hear Wheels are turning I am burning Can't you see that it's a part of me? I've reached a whole new high A whole new way of life Sometimes it's right in front of you Sometimes it's way behind, Dig. I'm always searching for relations in my random revelations And when I hide down in my stations when I fall from expectations You know I'm wishing I could get there You know I'm wishing I was unaware You know it seems to me just habit isn't that unless you've had it all And then you find yourself erratic in the noise and in the static you know You see the world turn sparsely over parting With all the future scars forever darting 3) Shake The Magic Eight Ball There are some things you outta know ‘bout the way I'm feeling Well you know I'm not insane but there's things I'm seeing Shake the magic eight ball Hate your friends Right, wrong turn, head on to disaster I saw the sunrise again It never gets appealing When you lost it on the train I almost hit the ceiling It's around, hear the sound Watch it fall right from the ground Watch it crumble, watch it break Watch it move right out of shape Watch it shimmy, watch it shake Watch it leave nothing to take away. 4) Go To Your Room Go to your room, I've had it And don't come out 'til seven I'm tired, you baby And baby's supposed to be cute Your rude and ugly and plenty disrespectful You take up all of my time And suck up all of my juice Is this a question of time? question of authority? Is this a question of ability? Is this a question of love? I'm hurt, I'm hurt, I'm hurt, I'm hurt Don't take out the spoon Don't take out the belt I haven't got time for anything else What did I do to deserve this? What did I do to deserve this? I'm hurt, I'm hurt, I'm hurt, I'm hurt Shark in the house Shark in the house 5) The Last From Me Don't change the locks on me Don't call the cops on me Don't even worry, You just heard the last from me Don't write your thoughts in stone Don't hang up the telephone I don't mind being alone Cause you just heard the last from me Don't change the locks on me Don't call the cops on me Don't even worry, You just heard the last from me Don't write your thoughts in stone Pick up the telephone I don't mind being alone Cause you just heard the last from me What did you say? A little goes a long way, But a long way away is today Well I'm not laughing I'm sitting down crying in my hands No I'm lyin', I'm smiling and glad Ooh, you got me Ooh Ooh you got me right there You got me, ya see? You got me this time You got me Ooh Ooh you got me right there You got me, ya see? You got me. 6) Oh My God They said she got left for dead And then they fed me more There was a letter on the bed That speaks to me. Loose bits dribble down on my seat A satisfaction is guaranteed A catastrophic calamity Loosely say one “Amen” And then one “Oh my God” They said I should get out of my debt And then they fed me more I stand a better chance taking their bets That speaks to me. If i was insane the world would be the same If I was insane they'd say “Oh My God” They said that the world is gonna end And then they fed me more It puts the fear in every man and everything You're little sister thinks he's the man My little sister thinks he's the one. 7) Don't Walk Me Down That Road Get up in the morning, brain starts pouring I can't stop a minute to think I called for the appointment and got the disappointment when you said nothing wrong with me And then I get that feeling, my heart hits the ceiling And I can't find the words to speak Cause i can see the demons and the other side of being And i can't catch my breath to breathe The wind feels nice on a dangerous night The forces of evil gently touch my soul But I won't go The floor keeps calling me to come on down But I'm living my life like I never did before And I want more Don't walk me down that road cause I don't wanna go It's just too tempting if you lead I'll follow Don't lead me down that path I might never make it back It's all too real It cuts right down to the bone Went out for the evening, time starts speeding I'm about to get weak at the knees My mind starts beating, my heart starts bleeding And I know that they're out for me And then I get that feeling, Those who were appealing I know they are the enemy Cause i can see the demons and the other side of being And it's real cause it's real to me 8) I'm Not Surprised Alarm clock rings and the fat lady sings So what. Hell freezes over and it's still not over So what. You said you'd never do it But you did it and you're mad at yourself Cause the wagon that you built is the one from which that you fell. And I'm not surprised I realize When you were young you wanted to be a President A Fireman, an Astronaut, a Doctor, Lawyer and Accountant Everybody I know isn't what they wanted to be Most likely to get married Most likely to suck seed You've got to open your mind And look inside My life didn't turn out as planned So I'm going straight to the man Watch out! With this dark cloud over my dream You're still my tangerine Watch out! 9) Rejoicing The Majesty The cornish hens will be leaving their nest Not for long Only to be sent by the hordes through the sky On the sings of ability Song for the clear With destination, determination We sing their refrain Trying to get closer to your sweetness Shine on me sister Adore, desire, a longing to provide absolution The colony of pine stand still To reach for the sky Held by the roots The sap reveals its secret We sing their refrain Trying to get closer to your sweetness Nearer to your sweetness, your clearness Shine on me sister Adore, desire, a longing to provide The need to be absolute Absolution The salmon regroup Looking the future To swim the seas of their destiny We watch patiently Waiting for the decision The leader comes to the surface Breathing in the dignity “Our course is set” “We will breed into the unknown” We sing their refrain. Shine on me sister Adore, desire, a longing to provide The need to feed The need to be absolute Absolution 10) Rite To Fire Once I rose above the creaking floor And opened up the squeaking door The sun came through and shone ahead to better days Once I let them out the mouth I got more I let them go about I know the words I say will be taken the right way Can you feel it in your soul? Can you see it as your told? Bring it down before you've sold your only rite to fire Once I let them out the mouth I got more I let them rip about I know I'm making my way to it closer every day You can let me go You know it's only right for you to take control You know it's only right for you to let it go There is something to be said for everything that's up ahead It takes a place for leaving more To find out what it all is for 11) The Rooster Says Good Morning Sunshine reminds me of what I've been missing The time keeps on going on to infinity And on and on and up and down And on and on and all around The rooster says good morning The rooster says hello The sun will always rise no matter where you go The road is never ending The mountain always high You'll never reach the top but you should always try The waiting never takes forever See. 12) Hag doon dat doon dat do dat doon dat doon dat do dat do dat do dat do dat do do do do do do do doon do do do doon do do do doon do do do doon 13) A Better Place Cancel my subscription The maniac won't listen going through transitions and I'm ready for anything Think of my position Instead of losing vision Sight set on a mission and ready for anything now Ain't got no time to waste away I'm feeling better every day No longer staying in the shade I want the sun and nothing less I need a better place Pardon this incision But what ya doing wishing While laying in your prison and waiting for everything Take this as a given Nothing comes from sittin' Thinking that your living while waiting for waiting for everything Now, you know you outta know this You know this.
