All the stomach pains,
And the walking

Battalions of riot

With rubber bullet kisses,

Peaceful, loving youth against the

Of plastic existence.

War staring you in the face, dressed in

Trained and appropriate

The little boy smiled, it'll all be

Jump,
Bounce, Down, Up
I went out on a date,
With a girl,
a bit late,
She had so many friends,
Gliding through
many hands.
I brought my pogo stick,
Just to show her a
trick,
She had so many friends,
Gliding through many
hands.
Jump Pogo?..
Bounce Pogo,
Down Pogo, Up
Pogo
Unannounced twister games,
All players with no
names,
They lined up double quick,
But just one pogo
stick,
Everyone gets to play,
Runaway, expose',
It
was so exotic,
But just one pogo stick.
Jump

Down Pogo, Up Pogo
Oh, I

Touching whoever's

Forest
Walk
with me my little child,
To the forest of denial,
Speak
with me my only mind,
Walk with me until the time,
And
make the forest turn to wine,
You take the legend for a
fall,
You saw the product,
Why can't you see that
you are my child,
Why don't you know that you are my
mind,
Tell everyone in the world, that I'm you,
Take
this promise to the end of you.
Walk with me my little
friend,
Take this promise to the end,
Speak with me my
only mind,
Walk with me until the end,
And make the
forest turn to sand,
You take the legend for a fall,
You
saw the product,
Why can't you see that you are my
child,
Why don't you know that you are my mind,
Tell
everyone in the world, that I'm you,
Take this promise to
the end of you.
Take this promise for a ride,
You
saw the forest, now come inside,
You took the legend for
its fall,
You saw the product of it all,
No televisions
in the air,
No circumcisions on the chair,
You made the
weapons for us all,
Just look at us now,
Why can't
you see that you are my child,
Why don't you know that you
are my mind,
Tell everyone in the world, that I'm
you,
Take this promise to the end of you.
