My life thrown back at me
My life thrown back at me
A rubber teevee
rubber teevee
My life shoved back down my throat
My life shoved back down my throat
You got my goat, you got my goat
You got my goat, you got my goat
and my fox and my chicken too
and my fox and my chicken too
But the pencil in my head
The pencil in my head
The pencil in my head
The pencil in my head
is crossing out, is crossing out
is crossing out, is crossing out
is crossing out, is crossing out
is crossing out, is crossing out
everything you do
everything you do
everything you do
everything you do - Track Name: Mili

[We don’t have a direct translation of Tani’s portion of the lyrics, but the story is about a young girl who has just found out she is being sent away for an arranged marriage. She tells her mother she doesn’t want to go and that she’s already in love. Her mother responds, “You have no choice - you have to honor the family traditions.”]
This life I'm living
Seems it's not for me
This life I'm living
It's for my family
All the things a girl dreams of
Not for me
What about true love?
"You're a good girl
We have always been for you
This is the world."
What about true love?
"This is our world
This is your world
This is family."
What about true love?
This life
Give in
This is family

Said he,
I can no longer sanction
any war for any purpose
under god's sun or stars
and they put him in chains
Said he,
I can no longer sanction
any war for any purpose
under god's sun or stars
and they showed him the scaffold
Said he,
I can no longer sanction
any war for any purpose
under god's sun or stars
and they laid his head on the block
Said he,
I can no longer sanction
any war for any purpose
under god's sun or stars
and the axe fell
Whereupon
the multitude fell silent
thinking,
well,
he could be right.… - Track Name: Synesthesia

You're so close
It's too late
to turn around
Long ago
I chose
How could I know?
All my life
cold rain
pouring down my back
In your voice
Speak soft - I hear the rainbow
You're close
still too far
to feel your sun
If I could trade
I would be the rain
falling on your skin
All my life
cold rain
pouring down my back
In your voice
I can hear a brighter shade of blue - Track Name: Think Like a Monkey
-
I've got to wonder why
how do I get there from here?
It's enough to make me cry
I've got the little white house with the picket fence
I've got the beautiful girl straight from my dreams
But that carrot they hang in front of my face
will never never ever help me see
Has the world gone crazy
[think like a monkey]
or have I gone crazy
[work like an ape]
Another day of wasted time
I put my faith in the lottery
I know it makes no sense
I should get away from the Western world
I should have some fun with an Eastern girl
[konichiwa!]
Because my monkey-like life
makes me orang-o-tense - Track Name: Kuluni
- [sorry, we don’t have a translation... it’s Tani sorta loosely talking about how much he loves someone...we think....]

I'm standing on a wall to the sky
on a point the size of a pin
One side of my face is black as night
other shines like a railroad light
Got a bucket of love in one of my hands
light as the breath of the sea
Got a bucket of blood in the other
it's dragging down on me
Being here with you
is the best place I can be
I'm standing on a wall to the sky
I'm light as the breath of the sea
Well, the words come out my eyes
and I catch 'em on my tongue
I spit them out on the forest floor
Where the mice and chickens run
Spent so many years in the desert
I can't shake the sand from my eyes
The dog that sleeps at the foot of my bed
calls me on all my lies
My version of the truth
is cut from smoke and glass
and it's hard to tell the present
from the future and the past - Track Name: Zombie Corazones
-
tres corazones
bleeding in the night
unreachable, immaculate
my sweet, our bodies forgiven
oh, hands on the bible, my breath
stand up to the inevitable
love the ghost worth any price
undress me now
lay it on the line
mi corazon, you will feel it fight
my sweet, our bodies forgiven
oh, hands on the bible, my death
standing for the inevitable
love the ghost worth any fight
heaven help us
(all for love)
have mercy on us
raise my arms up
feel the black
falling backwards....
all for love
all for love

Old Man John the Melter
wouldn't tap steel till it was right
and he let the superintendents rave
He didn't give a damn about tonnage
but he did give a damn about steel
so they put him on the street
And the steel got sorrier and sorrier
and rails got to breaking under trains
The railroads quit buying
and the mills shut down
Then the superintendents
asked Old Man John
to come and tell them what was wrong
with the steel
And he told them,
"Too many superintendents." - Track Name: Under Stress
- i repeat myself when under stress....
