Learn to Breathe Lyrics

SPACED OUT

Miss Firken’s got a bag wid some coconuts
Requested to be paid where the X marks the spot
But the Sergeant with the Major had some inside news
She was cooking up a brew that would bust her loose
She’s so spaced out.
Twenty dollar on the collar with some crimson seal
And a pickup on the pocket so she don’t reveal
The vision from the kitchen is static filled
Planning not to swallow all those bitter pills
Leave me alone, leave me alone
I do it my own. my own way.
Leave me alone, leave me alone
Do it my way, might fall by the way
Feelin alright, I bustle and fight
I know where to go
I think so
She’s so SPACED OUT
Motion and commotion from the front of house
Lights camera action and the word is out
Saw her do a handstand just like Jackie Chan
Twenty two ladrones, they were kept in the can
She’s so SPACED OUT
Gotta work it out, work it out.
Call up the doctor just to check and see
To see if I see what we all see
We love her so, just want the best
But everyday she’s turning it into a test
Leave me alone, leave me alone
I do it my own. my own way.
Leave me alone, leave me alone
Do it my way, might fall by the way
Feelin alright, I bustle and fight
I know where to go
I think so
She’s so SPACED OUT
She’s so SPACED OUT
She’s so SPACED OUT
She’s so SPACED OUT

Learn to Breathe

What a moment in history when we all learn to breathe
What a moment in history when we all learn to breathe
The fire burns so low with no space
The truer feeling lost in cold play
We need some air between
Cause we can’t define the loving sign
And all intentions undermine
What a moment in history when we all learn to breathe
What a moment in history when we all learn to breathe
Conditioned by the world progression
But time is known to teach the lesson
Anxiety beheld in ways and means to ease and please
Can we inhale in unity?
One universal breath could help reset the mess
And realign the twisted sign and all exhale in loving time
What a moment in history when we all learn to breathe
What a moment in history when we all learn to breathe

High Time

Senso indicator tells me what you’re doin to me
Push the motivator button, my basements boomin
Frequency and energy are busy tonight
It is why we do what we do
Trip around the edges til your feet are tired from waiting
Blinkin to da riddim of heart anticipating
Liking what is growin and the feelin is good
It is why we do what we do
I think its
High time that we went all the way
High time that we did how you say?
Right time for us to make the play
High time I think its high time
You and me got something so why don’t we explore it
I am down with steppin out if you up for it
We’ve been through the grinder and we still come out smooth
Why I do what I do
There’s no bells and whistles and I’m not talking about contract
Kick up this connection and soul define the contact
Comes a time for every ting, that time is now
This is why I do what I do
High time that we went all the way
High time that we did how you say?
Right time for us to make the play
High time we went all the way
You and me got something so why don’t we explore it
I am down with steppin out if you up for it
Comes a time for every ting, that time is now
This is why I do what I do

Going Solo

Everybody’s going solo checkin out their mojo
Tryin on a new interpretation
Everybody doin the side step
Messin with the mindset
Laying down a new foundation
Eveybody gettin wiser
Don’t believe the hyper
Filtering all da information
Everybody thinking of go slow
Getting into chi flow
Zen
Mun Dun Gu
Everybody get a little closer
To the wise toaster
Stand by selector DJ
Record in the one hand scratch up
Til the rhythm match up
Mash up the rules of the game
Flyin in the face of logic
Stirrin up a tonic
With a new wild sensation
Just a little food and shelter
Talking to an elder
Zen
Did you hear about the one
In search of the fun
For his spirit was held
By a way out spell
X marks the spot where decisions begin
No more talking and no more fussin
Action the feeling
The feeling we have about love
Lets talk about love
Mun Dun Gu

Bully for You

Bully for you
Bully for me
If  the love we gives not righteous
Might come back and bite yuz
Why curse you heritage
Cry poor when you’re so rich
Burn down the only bridge
That keeps us true connected
Harsh words take long to heal
Good love may break the seal
Why even start the wheel
From rolling wrong direction
Bully for you
Bully for me
If  the love we gives not righteous
Might come back and bite yuz
Each loaded word returns
Like lessons never learnt
And all the friends you’ve burnt
Won’t be so receptive
Talk down before you speak
All thoughts are coloured bleak
No wonder all bad streaks
Seem to get elected
A Bully Bully
Harsh words take long to heal
Good love may break the seal
Why even start the wheel
From rolling wrong direction
Each loaded word returns
Like lessons never learnt
And all the friends you’ve burnt
Won’t be so receptive
Bully for you
Bully for me
If  the love we gives not righteous
Might come back and bite yuz

Kiss Your Fate

You tinkin nothin but the resolution blue
And then you wondered why nothing ever grew
And all the people they’re telling you what to do
Makes for a crazy mind
See the people and they’re shedding off their skin
But you’re retreating way before you begin
You had me thinking that you could never win
Makes for a crazy mind
Time has come
To celebrate
Step on up
And kiss your fate
Irie feeling when the circle turn full
New ting like the first day of school
You never knew that you could change the rules
Makes for a heavy mind
Be the change that you really want to see
No use complainin if the heart don’t believe
Respect the tension, respect release
Makes for a peaceful mind
Time has come
To celebrate
Step on up
And kiss your fate
I know there’s times
Hard to work it out
And roads digress
Livin in a state of doubt
But angels come
And everyting is clear as day
See the people and they’re shedding off their skin
But you’re retreating way before you begin
You had me thinking that you could never win
Makes for a crazy mind
Be the change that you really want to see
No use complainin if the heart don’t believe
Respect the tension, respect release
Makes for a peaceful mind
Time has come
To celebrate
Step on up
And kiss your fate

One Fine Day

Mmmm opportunity come, strong like a drum
Strength to walk up to you and as you do
Asking your name, look at me strange
But kinda cool in your way
I remember it so well
One fine day - came into my life
One fine day - yeah our worlds did collide
One fine day - was the day that we met
One fine day
So we hooked up for a date
But you were one hour late
Rolled up in a bus
With a smile and no fuss
Sister come too, cousin come three
Get to meet whole family
I could get used to this
One fine day - came into my life
One fine day - yeah our worlds did collide
One fine day - was the day that we met
One fine day
Hmm connection is good
And it feels like it should
We are rockin in time
With a freedom in mind
Honest with you, friendship and crew
All of the things that we do
I knew the feeling was right
One fine day

Running to Stand Still

Humanity, I do believe
Has all of the wisdom to achieve
The sweetest equilibrium
Just dust off the button and kick it on
The universe has said her piece
To warn of nature’s human lease
All prophecies predict the coup
Call up the world wide webster for Fu Man Chu
Running to standstill
When doctors spin, the tales begin
And gold replaces what was tin
But I suspect the word is out
Velvet the revolution
It’s a quiet shout
Running to standstill

Home

Home – when you find yourself alone
And they talk in static tones
There’s a feelng in your bones
Time to break out
Crave – when the silent way betrays
With what she doesn’t say
It’s a game you’ve never played
It’s a strange town
I gotta get home
Home – where your feet can touch the earth
And you know what love is worth
And you’re cushioned from the hurt
Don’t you let down
Free – to open up the wound
And sing a different tune
And so become immune
To the breakdown
I gotta get home
It’s no good, stewing in your juice
When you’re brewing something blue
And your mind will challenge you to a showdown
Win - before a punch is thrown
Just resurrect the tone
To a better spirit zone
Kill the breakdown
I gotta get home

Into the Blue

Into the blue when you get lonely
Here we go again, here we go again
Into the blue, know you can call me
I hear your cry
The wicked mind
Plays tricks again
The ball and chain
The brain insane
Who is your friend?
Everyday
Change the play
Try to keep from falling
Into the blue when you get lonely
Here we go again, here we go again
Into the blue, know you can call me
Here we go again, here we go again
The stepping stones
That lead you home
Are flooded now
You duck and weave
The punch perceived
You’re stronger now
Everyday
Changes play
Try to keep from falling
Into the blue when you get lonely
Here we go again, here we go again
Into the blue, know you can call me
Here we go again, here we go again

Little Death

We know the time had come
But who fired the loaded gun
To see the bubble burst
And hear your world reversed
Little death, too far gone
Will you find the strength to carry on?
Little death, wait a while
And you’ll find in time you’ll reconcile
Infected fatally
She blinded clarity
But long before the bell
Loveheart already fell
Little death, too far gone
Will you find the strength to carry on?
Little death, wait a while
And you’ll find in time you’ll reconcile
Sunrise, new day begins
Look back on what has been
Well time will heal the soul
New well replace the hole

Essence Changed

Her flower blooms
Strong and immune
To the bitterness that lingered in the wake
Her world unfolds
Secrets and holes
Knowing full and well the courage it must take
His journey finds
New peace of mind
With a new respect and soft integrity
Essence changed, life rearranged
Time to go away
Things just don’t fit
I guess this is it
All the dreams are gone but don’t say I didn’t care
We magnetized
Then realized
How time had planted seeds of restlessness
Love currency
Exchanged the dream
Feelin sorry for the things I had to leave
Essence changed, life rearranged
Time to go away
Gotta change, gotta change
He sees the glow
From the valley low
Always hoping strong that love will reign supreme
I telephone
But there’s noone home
And silence reigns and static fills the air
His journey finds
A new peace of mind
That explodes the world and puts it back again
Essence changed, life rearranged
Time to go away

Black Cat

Who let the black cat out?
The roman goddess kept in control
Miss Fortune tried to hasten the fall
With rumored lies and seven signs
Watching how the mine field grows
Who let the black cat out?
Now that your world has turned
Who let the black cat out?
Now it’s all upside down
Who let the black cat out?
Mystery codes inside of the word
Twisted vision soon overturned
The sisters three, what destiny
Dreamin ‘bout the things you don’t say
Who let the black cat out?
Now that your world has turned
Who let the black cat out?
Now it’s all upside down
Who let the black cat out?

TURTLEHEAD

Turtlehead turtlehead
Is what you said, yeah
Behind the wall that separates your world
No escaping what eventually unfurls
Call up night, call up day
Never let us in
Livin in a shoebox with a sorry skin
Turtlehead turtlehead
Is what you said, yeah
Become diffused and disconnected
We welcome you but feelings misdirected
Knock knock won’t you open up please
We don’t want to hurt you
And we’ve got no disease
Gotta do what’s right for me
What’s right for me
You make my stomach wheeze
And I’m scared to breathe
Gotta do what’s right for me
What’s right for me
Been hurt ten times before and it gets to me
Gets to me
Turtlehead turtlehead
Is what you said, yeah
Running from people
Turtlehead turtlehead
Is what you said, yeah
Hiding in your shell again
Turtlehead turtlehead
Is what you said, yeah
Running from people
Gotta do what’s right for me
What’s right for me
You make my stomach wheeze
And I’m scared to breathe

Treasure Isle

Treasure Isle
Nice to meet you
Stay awhile
Time soon come
When glitter fades
And then move on
Soul rays
Double vision deep
You look inside
When you lose your ride
Soon find
Always have to keep
A secret file
On Treasure Isle
People talk
But much is nonsense
It can be dark
Time is tight
We lose the seasons
Day is night
Let fly
Return to wonderland
Where dreams come true
And so do you
We know
She never said a word
But you kept your style
On Treasure Isle
Soul rays Soon find
Always have to keep
A secret file
On Treasure Isle
Double vision deep
You look inside
When you lose your ride
Soon find
Always have to keep
A secret file
On Treasure Isle
You kept your style
On Treasure Isle

Simisay

What do you say? – simisay
I’ve been walking for miles
What do you say? – simisay
I need to rest awhile
What do you say? – simisay
It’s been one long day
What do you say? – simisay
This is what I say
Got my walkin shoes tied tight today
Got my mission to clear my tray
Of all of the loose ends that drag me down
Just want a simpler life
What do you say? – simisay
I’ve been walking for miles
What do you say? – simisay
I need to rest awhile
What do you say? – simisay
It’s been one long day
What do you say? – simisay
This is what I say
Old Miss Ruby, she’s not so good
She can’t go walkin like she wish she could
But son and pickney make matters fine
All of the love, you see
Old man Hendricks he picked me up
Fetch some fish today inna pickup truck
Bound for market in Mandeville
Money’s tight you see
Ten tribulations rise up to greet
My lonely shadow and my sore feet
Journeys wiser for all the pain
Just love and be loved
