Song lyrics

You are my God, you are my dog

You kept me close, love never lost

I called you hippie, you said fuck off

Said your brother's a real punk rocker


Something's going to happen

Something very soon

Transcending flesh could be a breeze

Sending me, Lord, over the moon


Friends near death, you gave respect

Sympathetic intellect

Choices are for one and all

All we are is leaves that fall

That's all


Always be loving you

Now I'm away from you

Always be loving you


'Round and 'round inside your head

Smartest fucker I ever met

Vicious fish bit at your toes

Made you lie and numb your soul


Something's going to happen

Something very soon

Transcending flesh could be a breeze

Sending me, Lord, over the moon


Mule donkey ass you bore the load

Of all creation's tortured souls

Choices are for one and all

All we are are leaves that fall


Like no other, I love you, you're my brother

Like no other, I love you, you're my brother

Like no other, I love you, you're my brother

Like no other, I love you, you're my brother

Like no other, I love you, you're my brother

Like no other, I love you, you're my brother


Water flowing and I will drink it

I will drink for you

A part of me left that only you knew

Will never be understood

Will never be understood


Hey, gone to stay

Entire lifetime flash before me

In a loving stream

Hey Mother may

I have lost a child but she gave birth

To a loving stream


Oh, never know

When the gods will come and take you

To a loving stream

Oh, heart of gold

The most special thing you gave me

From your loving stream

In a loving stream


Fuck the magazines

Fuck the green machine

See the human being

In a loving stream


Fuck the legal greed

Fuck the nothing scene

See the family

In a loving stream
