GLO-WORM

Glimmers of light in the darkness
Shining so bright to bring everyone cheer
Came to me once without sadness
Comes to me now so please lend me your ears

Slivers of light in the madness
Shining so bright like a jolt from the blues
Ringing so free in the gladness
Chiming and rhyming in
3 different hues

Go glo worm glow
Flash through the rain and snow
Go glo worm glow
Shine so the world will know

Keeping me warm with the flame of
Inner light
Guiding me here in the clear through
Blackest night

Glimpses of life in the darkness
Shining so bright like a star and a sun
Came to me once without sadness
Comes to me now like a life just begun

Slippery tight in the darkness
Shining so bright in the sea-spray and foam
Bathing me here in your warmness
Flowing so free
Now guiding me home

Go glo worm glow
Flash through the ice and snow
Go glo worm glow
Shine so the world will know

And in the dance
And in the game
You take no chance
You stay the same

So keep alive
That burning glow
Come raise your glass
On with the show

SKIN THE RABBIT Cities are shaken The sky is falling Walk in the blue fields Wild seed blowing Skin the rabbit Snatch and grab it Skin the rabbit Make it habit Flies buzz the highest hill Obsidian crumblin' Wake to the blue fields While heaven comes tumblin' down, down Skin the rabbit Kiss the fur and feel the light Dark hare of the night Join the feast...feed the beast The blood is calling Skin the rabbit Snatch and grab it Skin the rabbit Go and bag it Let your mind drive freely Stop my world from turning Walk in the blue fields The forest is burning Skin the rabbit © 1990 words and music: Gary Lucas and Rolo McGlnty as sung by Rolo McGinty,

POISON TREE Mind split, darkness tripled Tree unfurled, branches rippled And spread its banner for all to see Come and dance around the poison tree Poison Tree (4X) Tree of life bears bitter fruit Harvest yields the iron boot A seed is sown and grows, now see All gather round the poison tree Poison Tree (4X) Come all ye fair and tender frail Seeking out the holy graIl There's but one truth will set you free Swing your partner round the poison tree Poison Tree (4X) Snake awakes and glides to the side Allowing God to run and hide But Eve and Adam won't let him be Curled fast around the poison tree Poison Tree (4X) © 1990 words and music: Gary Lucas as sung by Mary Margaret O'Hara,

WHIP NAMED LASH The temperature's rising--it's winner take all You crawl through the quick sand You stumble and fall Now the bird's in the bush And his cheek's in the trash You're on the end of a whip A whlp named lash She picks you up easy And throws you down hard You walk through her wasteland Thrice humbled and scarred Then she lays it out sleazy And shows you the gash She's on the end of a whip A whip named lash If you want to look inside If you want to pry real hard Peaking ln pandora's box Do you want to play that card? Out where the dust blows dry Come taste the open sky Marching to the sound of Children's songs Lullabyes Life and death Come praise his name As you draw your last Breath Now the atmosphere's flaming--it's coming to boil Mirage in the desert The blood of the soil Now the gods at the gate Getting ready to bash They're on the end of a whip A whip named lash Come on now first to fade Come join the mad parade As we march along, proud Singing loud Singing strong we pray God speed Our slow decay © 1991 words and music: Gary Lucas as sung by Rolo McGinty,

THE BRAIN FROM PLANET EROS I am the brain from planet eros Turning down a gasp of life In the tank the bubbles quicken I wanna see new york tonight! A young man dies outside a 7-11 He faced his phobias on his own I am the brain from planet eros A message on your answer phone The city shimmers to the right side of the brain The sky is dark and the water light I am the brain from planet eros Show me new york tonight! Don't go out in the cold stark naked I'll abuse your appetites I am the brain from planet eros I wanna see new york tonight! &Copy 1991 music by Gary Lucas, words by Gary Lucas and Jon Langford as sung by Jon Langford, from
