I'm Back!
Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave but don't leave me
Look around and chose your own ground
For long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be
Run, run Inu run
Jewel shards, shine like the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to find another one
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race toward an early grave.
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
Tired of lying in the bedroom go to the well to find the cat.
You are young and life is long and what the heck is up with that?
And then one day you find fifty years have got behind you.
No one told you what the hell, you just passed through the well.
So you run at a speed from madam centipede but she's gaining
Racing around to bite you in the side again.
The tree is the same in a relative way but you're colder,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or a demon stapled to a pine
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the Japan way
The time is gone, the fight is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.
Home, home again.
I like to be here when I can.
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire.
Far away across the field
The howling of the half youkai
Calls the townfolk to their knees
To hear the softly spoken demon cry.
Youkai, get away
Get a good sword, make them your prey, and it's O.K.
Youkai, it's a gas,
Grab that trash with both hands and make a gash,
New sword, demon horde, nightmare daydream,
Think I'll make them all bloody scream.
Youkai, get back,
What made that crack, I think it was your back.
Youkai, it's a hit,
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit,
I'm in the fifteen jewel shards first class half-demon set,
And I didn't even break a sweat.
Youkai, it's a crime,
I'd kill them all but I don't have enough time.
Youkai, so they say,
Is the root of all evil today,
But if you look in thier eyes it's no surprise that they're turning night to day.
Us and Them
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me, and you
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do
'Sit boy!' she cried in his ear and the Inu died
And then Kagome smiled, if for only a while and then she cried
Black and Blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and Down
And in the end it's only round and round
And round
'Haven't you heard it's a battle of words?'
the Inu-Yasha cried
'Listen son, boy what have you done?
There's room for you inside'
Down and Out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about
With, without
And who'll deny that's what the fightings all about
Get out of the way, it's a busy day
And I've got things on my mind
For want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died.
The kitsune is on the grass
The kitsune is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path
The kitsune is in the hall
The kitsunes are in my hall
The Inu holds their balloned bodies to the floor
And every day the kitsune brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
The kitsune is in my head
The kitsune is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me.
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
All that you touch
And all that you see
All that you taste
All that you feel
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All that you save
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy
beg, borrow or steal
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say
All that you eat And everyone you meet
All that you slight And everyone you fight
All that is now
All that is gone
All that's to come
and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.
Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave but don't leave me
Look around and chose your own ground
For long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be
Run, run Inu run
Jewel shards, shine like the sun,
And when at last the work is done
