Now, now it's raining in the raven rover
Run the river dry
Now, now it's raining in the river rainbow
Raven in my eye
Do it baby in the light of the day you got it
Paint it all gold and azure
Tell the porter got another suitcase is coming
Leather is the weather du jour
Bye bye freaky little monster children
We are all a tribe
Makes no difference when you got here baby
No one here gets ... uh huh yeah
Now, now it's raining in the raven rover
Run the river dry
Now, now it's raining in the river rainbow
Raven in my eye
Purple sunrise like the orange of the heavens
Clap your hands in praise
Got a brother living south of the sunrise
In the mountain range
Bye bye freaky little monster children
We are all a tribe
Makes no difference when you got here baby
No one here gets ... uh huh yeah

Slow day in the city
I got nothing to do
I walk around
You say something too
I've got no direction
I like something new
I see my reflection
Now I'm seeing you
Will you take it on down
Will you take it round and round
Will you take it downtown
Today
Slow day at the bus stop
I got nothing to read
I look at words
They say something to me
I've got no appointment
Don't need anything
I found a key
You found a ring
Will you take it on down
Will you take it round and round
Will you take it downtown
Today

All of the creatures who lived in the past
They are forgotten now
I'd like to think that my bones are exceptional
But I don't know how
Make me a comet
Or a chameleon
Give me an answer
Or just a living pin
All of the caves that are out in the woods
They just appear to you
If you just take it in slow, they open up
Enter inside of you
Make me an island
Make me a jag-u-ar
Give me a reason
Give me a shooting star
It's the much better times, that you have forgotten
It's the much better times, that you have forgotten
Please take my hand, here we go
All of the vultures that fly in the sky
They're looking down below
I can't pretend that I see, what they think
Or what they seem to know
Make me a comet
Or a chameleon
Give me an answer
Or just a living pin
All of the streams that converge at the sea
Give me a feeling now
Just like a dog or a fish or a whale
I will show you how
Make me an island
Make me a jag-u-ar
Give me a reason
Give me a shooting star
It's the much better times, that you have forgotten
It's the much better times, that you have forgotten
Please take my hand, here we go
All of the creatures who lived in the past
They are forgotten now
I'd like to think that my bones are exceptional
But I don't know how
Make me a comet
Or a chameleon
Give me an answer
Or just a living pin

I was climbing the mountainside
And the light of the sun did shine
But the light was a turtle green
And the mountain was in my mind
And the gray of the moss was brown
And the mouse of the grass was home
And my hair was so soft and long
So I pulled out my turtle comb
Me and island waters
Fish and beads we trade
Winds will be my horses
Shoals will be my maids
Clouds on the way for today
Why is my eye in the way?
I was diving inside the rocks
But I wanted the sun to shine
And I wanted my brothers there
So that they could enjoy the wine
And the sun was a golden ball
And the sky was a milky sea
And the mountain was everywhere
And my mind for the world to see
Me and island waters
Fish and beads we trade
Winds will be my horses
Shoals will be my maids
Clouds on the way for today
Why is my eye in the way?
