Exactly What You Wanted

Im not so good realizing
Who I can or cannot trust
Its best to keep what matters vague
With harmless lies I can adjust
I get a d for disappointment
Now theres nothing to regret
Everybodys good for something
At least you know what you wont get
I let you down again
Whats another harmless
Lie between friends?
Now you can be disappointed
I thought I gave you just exactly
What you wanted

Harmless Heart

You said you were afraid to trust
So sorry for yourself it must be hard
Living inside your head
Well, Im no angel in disguise
Ive had my share of alibis
But I was true to you, I meant every word I said
But whats the use, you believe whatever you want to
Chorus:
You can run, you can hide,
Love will still come to find you
You can turn it away
Keep romancin your pain
Your the best at self defense
I say youve mastered the art
But baby, mine was a harmless heart
In your mind Im like the rest
Set me up to fail the test
And prove that you were right
Everyone lets you down
The ghost of all that might have been
Is tapping on your shoulder
But you just keep right on movin,
You never turn around
If you ever do, I hope you see that I really love you
Repeat chorus
Youre the best at self defense
I say youve mastered the art,
But baby, mine was a harmless heart
Yeah mine was a harmless heart

Locust

(pal waaktaar)
Dont be afaid
Its a harmless moon
All we can do
Is to assume
Our lives must change
A change is due
I hear you say
What are we gonna do
O weeping night
O grieving sky
O rabbit wind
You just flew by
Grant me this
Some small reward
Dont announce
Time of the final call
My dream was this:
Across the sky
A slate-grey cloud
That filled the eye
...a slate-grey cloud...
Comes through the dust--
Locust
Dont be afraid
Its a harmless moon

The Dose Makes The Poison

Paracelsus meaning equal
to or greater than Celsus
a famed Swiss Renaissance

alchemist astrologer botanist
physician and general occultist
not first systematic botanist

believed certain balances
of minerals in patient bodies
and also certain illnesses

of body had chemical remedies
remedies that could cure bodies
Paracelsus knew this to be true

“All things are poison,
and nothing is without poison;
only the dose permits

something not to be poisonous.'
In layman’s terms this means
'The dose makes the poison.'

substances considered toxic
are harmless in small doses
but even an ordinarily harmless

substance can
be deadly if
over-consumed

Cowboys and angels

When your heart's in someone else's hands
Monkey see and monkey do
Their wish is your command
You're not to blame
Everyone's the same

All you do is love and love is all you do
I should know by now the way I fought for you
You're not to blame
Everyone's the same

I know you think that you're safe
Mister
Harmless deception
That keeps love at bay
It's the ones who resist that we most want to kiss
Wouldn't you say ?

Cowboys and angels
They all have the time for you
Why should I imagine that I'd be a find for you
Why should I imagine
That I'd have something to say

But that scar on your face
That beautiful face of yours
In your heart there's a trace
Of someone before

When your heart's in someone else's plans
Things you say and things you do
They don't understand
It's suwh a shame
Always ends the same

You can call it love but I don't think it's true
You should know by now
I'm not the boy for you
You're not to blame
Always ends the same

I know you think that you're safe
Sister
Harmless affection
That keeps things this way
It's the ones who persist for the sake of a kiss
Who will pay
Cowboys and angels
They all take a shine to you
Why should I imagine that I was designed for you
Why should I believe
That you would stay

What's really interesting about that is that a lot of these words that were incendiary in their time now seem almost harmless and laughable, because they have this archaic quality.

It shows the truth - that the real meaning of a word is only as powerful or harmless as the emotion behind it.
