“My troubles are many
They're deep as a well
I swear there ain't no Heaven
And I pray there ain't no hell
But I'll never know by living
only my dying will tell.
And when I die
and when I'm gone
There'll be, one child born
And a world to carry on, to carry on.”

“They say a woman's place
Is to wait and serve
Under the veil
Submissive and dear
But I think my place
Is in a ship from space
To carry me
The hell out of here.”

“I saw a man take a needleful of hard drug
And die slow”

“Sage's light
Oh and Edison
He made two sparks ignite
All you do
It's a scientific chain reaction”

“So he swears he'll mever marry
Says that cuddles are a curse
Just tell him plain
You're on the next train
If love don't get you first”

“I'm not scared of dying
And I, don't really care
If it' s peace you find in dying
Well then, let the time be near.”

“Give me my freedom for as long as I be
All I ask of livin' is to have no chains on me
All I ask of livin' is to have no chains on me
And all I ask of dyin' is to go naturally…
And when I die, and when I'm gone
There'll be one child born, in our world
To carry on, to carry on…”

“She said
"I'm young enough
I'm old enough
In the city machine
Where industries
Fill the fish full of mercury"”

“He got his mean streak from the gutter
Got his kindness from God”

“Emily
And her love to be
Carved in a heart
On a berry tree
But it's only a little farewell lovespell
Time to design a woman”

“You can see the walls roar
See your brains on the floor
Become God
Become cripple
Become funky”

“I lost my eyes
In east wind skies
Here's where I've cried
Where I've tried
Where God and the Tendaberry rise
Where Quakers and revolutionaries
Join for life”

“I was raised on the good book Jesus
Till I read between the lines
Now I don't believe I ever wanna see the morning”
