Ctopodova! (Стопудово! = For Sure!)
I've been sitting on this mountain top
For several days on end
I seen things I could not conceive
And don't claim to comprehend
Pilgrims, monks n'murderes
And wolves that come in the night (вообще)
N'little Ramazan's lookin' at me
Wondering if I'll sing off key
In the land where a 'B'ers a 'V'er
And a 'Y's an Ooo
Little east European trip
Help me lift my heart out of this pit
And think it over
Ctopodova
I've been sleeping in this cave now
For several nights on end
The dreams and scenes revealed to me
Makes me feel this place transcends
Matarmoro in field of stars
And every girl I ever laid
Little school girl's flirtin' with me, she's fucking nouveau Ruski 33
In the land where vodka's cheap n'radiation's free
Little east European trip
Help me lift my heart out of this pit
And think it over
Ctopodova
I've been walking this forest path
For several miles on end
Seen things I could not conceive
An'don't claim to comprehend
Graves,n'bones n'singing stones n'stars that say it's alright
N'little liza's sippin' her tea wonderin' what will be will be
In the land where an H is N and an S is C
Little east European trip
Help me lift my heart out of this pit
And think it over
Ctopodova
(вообще)
Little east European chick help me get my backbone straight n'clicked
N’everybody's lookin at me 'coz Я из Англии
(спой слова)
And Little Baby’s eying her chance she stole the documents she needs to advance
я не говорю по Русски
можно нам два бокала шампанского.
Я хочу мороженое из Запорожья.

No beginning or end
this is a story without beginning or end
about two friends, now and then,
the girl was wise, the man was joyful,
here and now, now and then,
here and now, then again
from opposite sides of a universe
kalpas separated their birth....
they first met in Dewachen,
in time and space, they met again, space and time, now again
in their eyes, no surprise,
just timeless knowing, beyond this life,
in their kiss, timeless highest bliss,
space and bliss, in every kiss,
in their smiles, recognition, beyond all thought, deep intuition,
their fingers touch, no separation,
just as it is-ness, no separation
just as it is-ness, no separation.........
yes, this is a story without beginning or end
about two lovers, very best of friends,
body, speech and mind, inseparably entwine,
no separation, sweet liberation,
like water flowing to itself,
freely playing, in and out of space,
resting without effort, no centre or limit,
within the oneness of all that is,
timeless awareness,
fearlessness,
unlimited wishes,
born from emptiness,
wishing joy for others,
infinite joy for others,
wishing joy for others,
infinite joy for others,
from another time and place,
from eons before,
from another universe,
infinitely far,
friendship without limit,
unconditional love
friendship without limit,
unconditional love
this is a story without beginning or end

How Long?
sittin' here all alone
wondering bout the road I chose
me n'my thoughts on life
in the stillness & calm
and where should I go now?
and where have I been?
and is there some meaning
in all these things I have seen?
n'how long shall l be strong?
n'how long shall I go on?
never knowin' the answers, always needing to know.......
always needing to know.......
bathing in luxury
back in the shallow west
I feel the pull of deeper down
blind faith calls me home
and is home where my heart is?
or on some distant shore?
and these dreams in the night
should I heed them at all?
n'how long shall l be strong?
n'how long shall I go on?
never knowin' the answers, always needing to know.......
always needing to know.......
all the foolish words that I've spoken
all the lies that I've told
all my promises broken
all leaves in the wind now......... leaves in the wind now
new seeds I've sown..........
n'how long shall l be strong?
n'how long shall I go on?
never knowin' the answers, always needing to know.......
always needing to know.......

Everything I need
there are times, when I getta bit introspective
have to check myself, get my life back into perspective
n’there a times when I worry ‘bout the competition
when all I had to do was listen to my own intuition
and yes I know, all that glitters is not gold
my dream’s more valuable than anything I can hold
yes I know, hope don't pay the rent
bliss purify before I chase another cent
n’there are times, when I buy into the superstition
‘bout conspiracy, the paranoid US vision
n’ there are times I feel I need that brand new car
no logo on my T-shirt, I will not get far
yes I know, I'm one link in an endless chain
there’s hope in my insignificance,
strength in all my pain
n’yes I know, about avarice and greed
right here in this moment got everything I need, everything I need
everything I need, I got the air that I breath
take a look around, I got everything I need, I got the air that I breath
right at my fingertips, everything I need
right here in this moment, everything I need......
an’ I perceive inside there’s a truth delivers our, sweet sweet freedom
an’ I perceive inside hides a way, leads straight to, Dewachen on earth
YOU KNOW THAT IT'S TRUE, JUST GOTTA PERCEIVE,
YOU KNOW WHAT IS TRUE, CHECK WHAT YA' BELIEVE,
YOU KNOW THAT IT'S TRUE, JUST GOTTA PERCEIVE,
you know, I got everything I need,
everything I need...
I got everything I need, I got the air that I breath
take a look around, I got everything I need, I got the air that I breath
I don’t need no gold’n’diamonds
I don’t need no books’n’bibles,
got everything I need…
(i-giv-en-a-back-gol’-an-diamon’)
I don’t need no designer notions,
I don’t need no pills’n’potions,
got everything I need...
right here in this moment, everything I need
right at my fingertips, everything I need
I take a look around, I got everything I need
right here in this moment, everything I need......
