The lyrics
The Other End Of The Line
Jimmy, can you take this call?
I'm not sure I still believe in you at all
But everything will be fine
If they hear your voice on The Other End Of The Line
Are you real like the thoughts getting tossed in my head?
Like my own American Book of the Living and Dead?
Are you real like life unencumbered?
Are you real like prime numbers?
Jimmy can you look inside?
Can everybody see what I try so hard to hide?
I've got a devious design
But I feel your tug at The Other End Of The Line
Are you real like the passion that I can't keep my mind on?
Real like the stages that you glide through life on?
Are you real and higher than the best stuff can take us?
Are you real as a chapel and true love in Vegas?
One time I thought I lost your ring
I tore through everything
I dug through paper, grass, and lemon rinds
Party trash and all night crying
Found it in a soda can
Should've known we were recyclable, born again and again
Are you real like that, Jimmy?
Always coming back, Jimmy?
Are you real like concrete, desire, and despair?
Are you real like the goddesses smiling on my prayers?
Jimmy, will you take my call?
How did I ever close my eyes on you at all?
Now everything is fine
You've drawn me out to The Other End Of The Line
Holy River
Looked for you by the Holy River
But all I saw was me
Oh, did I see all I meant to see?
Went to search for, did so much work for
Everything I'll never need
Oh Oh Oh Oh - you're all I've got to be
Om shanti Om shanti Om shanti Om
Looked for you by the Holy River
A place you'll never be No, not really
Thank you, thank you, my deva
Set your spirit free You set my spirit free
Om shanti Om shanti Om shanti Om oh oh my deva

My Bride
My Bride is restless
She waits for our day
And I twist up the telephone wire
Maybe I'm nervous- She's self-assured
And she's quiet, but never retiring
She speaks with all of her voice
Without compromises- She's full of surprises
My Bride- so beautiful
We sing at the altar
No longer lovers at odds
At the end of the party, revealing ourselves
In the eyes of the state and the gods
And I've seen people carry on
Oh so aimlessly
I have seen all that's good in humanity- Everything we can be
Let it be you and me
My Bride is wearing white
He loves tradition
But doesn't much care for the rules
He stands beside me so confidently
As he slips past his childhood foolish lies
I see the allure of his veil
And I embrace all of him-
Every embroidered detail
And I've seen people carry on
Oh so aimlessly
I have seen all that's good in humanity- Everything we can be
Let it be you and me
My Bride fixes his stockings
Beneath the gown that he bought and I see for the first time today
Maybe we'll marry one day
Maybe I'll marry one day
Pennies and Perfume
There's a crackling in the radiator pointing out forgotten ghosts
There's a future famine spinning out from coast to coast
There's a little girl in the corner still trying to earn her voice, it's not too soon
And there's a war going on on the screen that sits in the living room
Pennies and Perfume- they make it so much better
All the ages come together
Making everyone agree
And they'll be happy just like me
Friendly fire and fine attire on the pages of the same magazine
There are skinny ties and champagne lies- leftovers yeah but so pristine
And there's a tea party with the Queen of Hearts every other afternoon
And there's a pamphlet-wielding warrior at the door- she's preaching doom and gloom
Pennies and Perfume- they take the highest station
They're never out of circulation
Spray them on your enemies
And they'll smell pretty just like me
There's a secret lover calling on the teenage princess line
And there's an old woman with her soul to sing if you got the time
Oh and it never is too soon
'Cause there's a war going on on the screen that sits in the living room
Pennies and Perfume- they're perfect for one another
You pick one up to buy the other
Hang them on the family tree
They're ornamental just like me
But where's my memories
I want my memories
I lost my memories
I need my memories
The Beginning
When I'm alone I hold my hand
When I'm with you, do you understand?
When I fall in love is there no net below?
Will these feelings follow me everywhere I go?
Here I go again to the start of things
Here I go again to The Beginning
Were the cameras on at the start of the scene?
When I say these words, do you know what I mean?
If no one can hear me, do I still make a sound?
I believe in the end we all come back around
Here I go again to the start of things
Here I go again to The Beginning
When I break down is there a room I can bounce in?
And when I find youth can I drink from the fountain?
When I get tired, is there a pillow for me?
And when I feel free, am I just in chains that I can't see?
And oh- I feel the edge of these years
And sometimes the questions just bring me to tears
But I feel alive every moment of everyday
Just living for asking and living for knowing the way
Here I go again to the start of things
Here I go again to The Beginning The circle is open, forever unbroken, my friend
A circular motion, a drop to the ocean, my friend
Chant (Words & Music)
A universal invocation of the elements and Spirit, called by many names in many cultures
From the earth and the air and the fire and the sea
Words and Music coming through me
I saw Buddha by the bodhi tree
He told me, "You'll find your peace by following me"
So I sat down beside him and he showed me how
And I stepped on the path that I'm following now
Well I looked to the forest and what did I see?
The beautiful ground where Artemis runs free
Then I saw Apollo playing on his lyre
He said, "Sing out, Sister- Let your voice feed the fire"
Looked in the eyes of Brigid and she started to sing
She said, "Yours is the task of channeling (the earth and the air and the fire and the sea)"
Just like the One is the many and the many are One
I got the air and the water and the sand and the sun
Lord and Lady, wherever I go
I thank you that I am part of your flow
I offer these words wherever you may be-
May your peace run as deep as your song is in me
Govinda Jaya Jaya Gopala Jaya Jaya
Radha Ramana Hari Govinda Jaya Jaya
I Don't Wear Sweaters
I don't wear sweaters and I don't walk home
I don't dig gardens when I'm on my own
I don't climb fences that I never see
I come to my senses when you give them to me
And I'm born in the morning And I'm-- I'm on the town
And I'm making a deal now And I'm-- I'm underground
Children children children all the children sing
I was hanging with the jump rope girls in the Pennsylvania spring
My eyes were sacred when the mirror was new
Watching you play dress-up like the little girls do
I don't wear sweaters and I don't walk home
I don't dig gardens when I'm on my own
I don't climb fences that I never see
I come to my senses when you give them to me
And I'm born in the morning And I'm-- I'm on the town
And I'm making a deal now And I'm-- I'm underground
Oh won't somebody give me some time
I'm no daddy's poster boy if you wouldn't mind
But I wasn't ready for this long a fight
Mother, I love you, can I say goodnight
And I'm born in the morning And I'm-- I'm on the town
And I'm making a deal now And I'm-- I'm underground
People people people amaze me sometimes
Giving and taking and blurring these lines
It's not so easy growing up into gold
At least in the winter I'll never get cold
Now I wear sweaters and now I walk home
Now I dig gardens that I call my own
Now I climb fences I never did see
I put on my lenses and I call it all me
And I'm born in the morning And I-- I am the sound
And I'm-- I making a deal now And I-- I'll be around
And I-- I'll be around
Vanamali Hari
The soul cries out for sweetness-to take refuge in ultimate love, beauty, and cosmic awareness- as Lover calls out for her Beloved.

I'm Coming Down
I was waiting to come down
I was trying to break free
I felt spirit all around
I was waiting patiently
But no more, no more
The time is now
No more, no more waiting
I'm Coming Down
I was bathing in the light
Felt the sea run down my spine
I could feel another time
I could wait here one more night
But no more, no more
Gotta be right now
No more, no more waiting
I'm Coming Down
Down from this dream where I can't see your face
Down from this drug that's obscuring your name
Down from this pedestal we never wanted to be
Now everyone can see
I was walking on your road
Savoring the path you go
I am dancing next to you
Waiting for that moment to break through
No more
Gotta be right now, yeah
No more, no more waiting
I'm Coming Down

You're In Demand
You say I don't know you I say I known you too long
Why d'ya think my heart miss a beat Every time you sing that song
I'm your #1 fan
Baby, don't draw that line in the sand
You're In Demand
You're my future lover I'm your devotee
Feel so strong, I could heal the sick Every time you think of me
And I know you do, and you know I can
Baby, don't draw that line in the sand
I don't care how much You're In Demand
Love-struck Romeo, I won't tell you where I been
Caught me on the fire escape skippin' out or comin' in
Wasn't quite what I planned
Baby don't draw that line in the sand
Ooo- You're In Demand
Somebody else call the doctor, I got nothin' to say
I lose my taste for talkin' every time you go away
Baby don't draw that line in the sand
I will keep you safe, You're In Demand
Flew out to Los Angeles, down to Nashville, Tennessee
New York City cannot hold enough rock 'n' roll for me
Let me join your band
Gimme that secret autograph
Got to find out why You're In Demand
