Under The Bushes Under The Star

Guided By Voices Under The Bushes Under The Star Lyrics
1.Acorns & Orioles

Over the summer
Somehow waiting
Sometimes craving
And i gave it all away
Let my mind slip away
Kept everyone away

I can't tell you anything
You don't already know
I can't tell you anything
You don't already know
I can't tell you anything

I am the minister, and the imposter
You said i'm on my own
But i am not alone
You are the militant
Fighting to bring me home

I can't tell you anything
You don't already know
I can't tell you anything
You don't already know
I can't tell you anything

I can't tell you anything
You don't already know...


2.Atom Eyes

I'm dreaming it so it must be true
Nothing else could look as good as you do
And so we're a rocket goal
Up to where the astros flow into space
Don't hold me down

Atom eyes
Don't worry your brain
Take a break from everyday
Sell the house, the car, the pain
Atom eyes

I'm running away from your blues
Atom eyes with sprinklers are spraying perfume
Escape from the part of me
There's a million heartstrings ready to fly
Let's pull them now

Atom eyes
Don't worry your brain
Take a break from everyday
Sell the house, the car, the pain
Atom eyes
Just be sure to live again

Atom eyes
Don't worry your brain
Take a break from everyday
Sell the house, the car, the pain


3.Big Boring Wedding

I have entered a shiny new realm
A very different and very spoiled world
It's with great pleasure i introduce myself
To come and thank you for such delicious pie

The irony's sweet bird is paralyzed
With one good finger you try me on for size
It's hard to imagine that you just want to leave
With yellow photos, pocket-sized

Revealing mobility of psychedelic eyes
Spontaneous and violent, but private to the mind
With no where left to go
Pass the word: the chicks are back
The chicks are back, yeah
The chicks are back
Pass the word: the chicks are back
The chicks are back, yeah
The chicks are back

The chandelier is spinning and shaking
The vibrachord is already waking

Revealing mobility of psychedelic eyes
Spontaneous and violent, but private to the mind
With no where left to go
Pass the word: the chicks are back
The chicks are back, yeah
The chicks are back
Pass the word: the chicks are back
The chicks are back, yeah
The chicks are back...


4.Bright Paper Werevolves

Come on, polluted eyeballs
Stop scouting out the fields
Jump up, bright paper werewolves
And everybody, everywhere

Anyone can scratch
And anyone can win
So pull out another batch

They want to get out of here
But they can't find the exits
They cling to the cinema
And they can't find security
Then they finally got recognized
So they left in obscurity and misery


5.Burning Flag Birthday Suit

Don't open life alone
Contact the empire, salutionaries
They cut the skin, they peel back the onion
Reveal the ghost blood, fat black gas
Excudes, moves into the mirrored halls of empty values

Can sister, high over
Drive me, to the changing room
Where the counterfeit reads
And brings its collections of orphans

Meet them in the stale crypt
Although it says, hate them
It's up to you and me
My faithful cynthia
To give them the glorious life back and
Remove them back here
The burning flag birthday suit


6.Cut-out Witch

Do you suppose she could change your life?
If she could then i wish she would
Do you suppose she could save my life?
If she could then i think she should

It's another busy day for the cut-out witch
Silver threads for her hands, need another stitch
Cold needles in her eyes, then we realise
It's another busy day for the cut-out witch

I wish she'd change this wrong into a right
Say pretty please and i think she might
Cause if she won't, then you'll fall, and bust
And turn to dust, so i think, she must

It's another busy day for the cut-out witch
Silver threads for her hands, need another stitch
Cold needles in her eyes, then we realise
It's another busy day for the cut-out witch

Do you think she can change your life?
Do you think she can change your life?
Do you think she can change your life?...


7.Don't Stop Now

woke up
On hell of a morning
And saw a rooster strutting by my house
Six pack rings around his neck
Cock of the block
Don't stop now
Don't stop now

What keeps big daddy happy
What makes the buzzard buzz
A leaky quart of motor oil
Head for the hills
Don't stop now
Don't stop now

Pulled into economy island
King shit and the golden boys
Plenty more where we come from
Top of the line
Don't stop now
Don't stop now

Don't stop now
Don't stop now...


8.Drag Days

Drag days are not so bad but move too slow
If i were them i'd want them not to linger so
Now we come to drag days
Now we come to drag days

Fake capes baby, they're too hard to wear
Put them on and everyone will stare
We have come to drag days
We have come to drag days
We escape them sometimes and the feeling is different, more
intensified
We escape them within the walls of our fidgety hearts where we
hide

Away, on out beyond the factory yards
Up and over the security guards
We have come to drag days
We have come to drag days
We escape them sometimes and the feeling is different, more
intensified
We escape them within the walls of our fidgety hearts where we
hide

They will turn around
They will turn around...


9.Ghosts Of A Different Dream

Adrenaline, what did you find
The fog of a nightmare dissipated
I wrote a sign, to know that mind
The ghosts of a different dream are waiting
A different kind of kiss
The souls of a different mist are rolling
I've been inside the mist
The ghosts of another fist are calling

The troops are led, internal red
Despite of the oldest trumpet blaring
A world of hate can't penetrate
The crest of the different shield your wearing
A different kind of fight
Keep those telephones a-ringing
I've been inside alright
The ghosts of a different dream are singing


10.It's Like Soul Man

I never liked you until i
Took a good look at myself
And when i saw you there
I saw the best part of me was your soul

It's like soul man
It's like soul man

I never liked you until i
Took a good look at myself
When i saw you there
I saw the best part of me was your soul

It's like soul man
It's like soul man
It's like soul man

It's like soul man
It's like soul man...


11.Look At Them

It's crippling
Never really knowing
We're huddling
Where its always nice

And plus there is a flame
A flame that should be hot
In spite of being small, and being still
Following wherever you will

Look at them
They're sensitive
And they inch out
Look at them

And plus there is a flame
A flame that should be hot
In spite of being small, and being still
Following wherever you will


12.Lord Of Overstock

Straight to the lord of overstock
He spoke for the millionth time
Don't be late for the superdeal
Will save you a lot
And take every cent you earn

Heavenly ticks
Is open for you

So trust in the king of overstock
Invest in his wisdom and learn
There's less to go around
If everyone counts
But if you got the money to burn

Then you will be in
Always give faith
For what's it all worth
In heaven on earth


13.Man Called Aerodynamics

Find deep within the old memory coat
A cricket bag you ate from
Its sweet smiling apology

Acceptance awaits you
Don't be afraid to cherish it

Look it up in the bookmobile
Look it up in the gun rack
In the magazine rack, and the map

For it is only after the fence comes down
That the cartoon bubble explodes
And the new party begins
Invitation only in stealing a senator's suitcase
Let them out and dance for the ant-god

Like scary magnets
To pounce upon command
Upon the man, the man called aerodynamics


14.No Sky

See you around, yeah
I wanted to call you around
See you around, yeah
I wanted to call you around

Could you, could you
Keep a secret for me, yeah
Could you, could you
Keep a secret for me, yeah

See you around, yeah
I wanted to call you around
See you around, yeah
I wanted to call you around

When i'm alone
I can see no sky
When i'm alone
I can see no sky
When i'm alone
I can see no sky

Could you, could you
Keep a secret for me, yeah
Could you, could you
Keep a secret for me, yeah...


15.Office Of Hearts

Roll out the pain killers
We'll have a killer wig out
Sleepy boys don't look
It's not enough said
Or a statistical ocurrence
It's octopus, caveman
Drinking with the enemy
He's got a girl on every arm

He sits down and circulates
In the office of hearts
He's case closed middleman
In the office of hearts
He'll steal you away

(he sits down and circulates)
Come feel the softest parts
In the office of hearts

(he sits down and circulates)
Come feel the softest parts
In the office of hearts...


16.Redmen And Their Wives

Roll out of bed
They're issuing lives for redmen and their wives
Offering hands
And twiddling thumbs, for dreams that never come
Often said
You better not look away, you'll lose the day
The way i see it
It's already lost
So then be it, they say

They're sharpening knives
And primitive lives, for redmen and their wives
Bread winners and klutz
And losing it all before the one eye shuts
Well i see it
As paying the price, nobody feels it these days

Well i'd like to go
And kiss them away
Well i'd like to know
Another way
Did you notice that
They're taking back lives from redmen just to

Give them time to find the light
And other things that bind with pride
A killer's waking up this time
To honest gleam and needless pride
We'll never see it shine
We'll never find the time
We'll never see it shine
We'll never find the time...


17.Rhine Jive Click

Crowded gymnasiums
No shortage of knockouts
And the country dance sellathon
Overworked spines
All efforts considered
Oooh, oooh

But not before the prizes, are posted
The king size electric institute

He's proud to prevent
Dazzling rhine jive click
And his up and coming bombadeers
Are fuckin right
How they stacks in a million years


18.Sheetkickers

Cover your eyes
The light is too bright
Your wise men, they tell you lies
And what's worse, they curse
But still, i love the bite

But flies are maybe marked men
Cause they're attracted to the light
They realize
The night has come to baptize
And they will finally realize

And what's worse, it hurts
But still, they love the bite

And i would like to die with you
I'd like to try but i'm not suicide
And i would like to kill you
But that would suit you fine i realize
And i will not disgrace myself
By chasing you around to pull you back
And i will not give in and hit you when
Before the fight begins and its okay

I'm over you
I'm over you
I'm over you
I'm over you

Cover your eyes
The light is too bright


19.Take To The Sky

You can do the pollute
Escorted, afforded by the loot
Take to the sky
Said the china man's monkey
And to drive like einstein
Through the magic boats of history's underbelly

And your onward was unusual
And your scientific programs phenomenal

Take to the nose in a rumble
My
My endearing
My endearing ranking
(mumble, mumbling..)


20.The Official Ironmen Rally Song

Bitter fish in crude oil sea
You don't have to bother me
You just have to join on this song

Crawling people on your knees
Don't take this so seriously
You just have to hum it all day long

To dine, alone
To build a private zone
Or trigger a synapse
And free us from our traps

You won't see me turn my back
With my head against my stack
Spinning deep and broken open skin

Official ironman you are free
Champions officially, but
You won't catch me on an open chin

To dine, alone
To build a private zone
Or trigger a synapse
And free us from our traps

Knockout punches for the freaks
Happy little babies with red cheeks
You will rock them gently out of sync

Confirmations through the wire
Spitting gas into the fire
Am i also worthy of a drink?

To dine, alone
To build a private zone
Or trigger a synapse
And free us from our traps


21.The Perfect Life

(an instrument only)


22.To Remake The Young Flyer

To remake the young flyer
Yes we must define his high desire
Standing erect and not detect the anything
That we could not admire

From the long lonely pirate
Number one is that the one to send
To restore on the child this
And then the national pride of crying

A question to the lunatic:
Does your days seem like nights?
Do your world go together?

Gotta mend, dash forth
He takes his place
He ends the laughter of the sayonara's
Takes his softness from his hand and goes

To remake the young flyer
Yes we must define his high desire


23.Unleashed! Large Hearted Boy

In a world you think you understand
Stay put and tune to another plan(et?)
It's up to you to stay put
The shoe is on the other foot
Driven to the fields
Whipped like a slave
Ready for (out?)
Ready for the .beast unleashed
Large hearted boy


24.Your Name Is Wild

Time to say to you, my child
Your name is wild
And if you call me in
I'll change the color
Your name is wild

And i'll be taking you
Soon now to read the orange signs
And i say now to you:
'so what, the useless fade in time'

You chose me to read you no lies
Hooray for the day
And i pay the angels to keep you my child
You are safe for now
God knows it too

Time to say to you, my dear
Your name is wild
And if you call me in
I'll change the color
Your name is wild

And i'll be taking you
Soon now to read the orange signs
And i say now to you:
'so what, the useless fade in time'

You chose me to read you no lies
Hooray for the day
And i pay the angels to keep you my child
You are safe for now
God knows it too
