Searching by Wild Animal
from Self-titled aka Dog
Lyrics: John Patrick Therrien
Searching for sunshine
On a perfectly climate day
No matter how good I feel
It always goes away
So I’d like to find the source
I am the sort
To believe in
Shangri la la la la la
But I’ve also been beaten
Felt lost without a job
Meet me there
Please be aware
You’ll know it when you see it
Notice when you be it
Allow yourself to feel it
The only control is to let go
Looking out for what I fear I lost
Taking chances
Not worried about price or cost
Seems like a losing fight
But there are those moments
I feel the light
Usually stronger than before
But I’m left so empty
I fall even lower
Meet me there
Please be aware
You’ll know it when you see it
Notice when you be it
Allow yourself to feel it
The only control is to let go
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
Meet me there
Please be aware
You’ll know it when you see it
Notice when you be it
Allow yourself to feel it
The only control is to let go
On a perfectly climate day
No matter how good I feel
It always goes away
So I’d like to find the source
I am the sort
To believe in
Shangri la la la la la
But I’ve also been beaten
Felt lost without a job
Meet me there
Please be aware
You’ll know it when you see it
Notice when you be it
Allow yourself to feel it
The only control is to let go
Looking out for what I fear I lost
Taking chances
Not worried about price or cost
Seems like a losing fight
But there are those moments
I feel the light
Usually stronger than before
But I’m left so empty
I fall even lower
Meet me there
Please be aware
You’ll know it when you see it
Notice when you be it
Allow yourself to feel it
The only control is to let go
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
Meet me there
Please be aware
You’ll know it when you see it
Notice when you be it
Allow yourself to feel it
The only control is to let go

Lyrics: John Patrick Therrien
Well I know that there’s something wrong with me
Scratch that
Make it two, three
Infinity
Well don’t you know I know I’ve done you wrong
But I’m not gonna fix it
No, not with this here song
And I’m failing, I’m flailing
Good God I know that I need saving
But Thom and me belong
Oh yes I’m a man
I’m a man of song
And I just can’t seem to find
A single person
Who will sing along
So sing along
Sing, sing, sing, sing
But will my love grow?
How the hell should I know
I’ll probably be dead too soon
Smoke a joint with George in a dream on the moon
I hope you’ll join us
And sing along
Sing along
Sing, sing, sing, sing
My songs have gotten sadder
My body’s gotten fatter
All I do is work-play
I can’t seem to find the day off
When will it stop
Love may be the only thing that’s ever saved my life
But I drown in sorrow worried ‘bout tomorrow
With my could be wife
Maybe I’ll call up Sturgill
I’ll ask him how he does it with his girl
Since that sounds like something he’s got right
Right?
Right
I sing Ooo Ooo
Now you know there’s something wrong with me
Scratch that, make it two, three
Infinity
Lately she says
“All you do is wrong”
But I can’t fix it
No, not with any song
Scratch that
Make it two, three
Infinity
Well don’t you know I know I’ve done you wrong
But I’m not gonna fix it
No, not with this here song
And I’m failing, I’m flailing
Good God I know that I need saving
But Thom and me belong
Oh yes I’m a man
I’m a man of song
And I just can’t seem to find
A single person
Who will sing along
So sing along
Sing, sing, sing, sing
But will my love grow?
How the hell should I know
I’ll probably be dead too soon
Smoke a joint with George in a dream on the moon
I hope you’ll join us
And sing along
Sing along
Sing, sing, sing, sing
My songs have gotten sadder
My body’s gotten fatter
All I do is work-play
I can’t seem to find the day off
When will it stop
Love may be the only thing that’s ever saved my life

Phases of the Bridge
from Magisches Theater
Lyrics: John Patrick Therrien
Well I’ve been falling and
crawling on my knees
I felt like crying but I’m tired of saying
Please
To those who just can’t see
How beautiful and precious every life is,
Indeed
I feel the lion who’s about to be set free
From the camel's back had a heart
attack in the spirit of “I don’t need
The hand that feeds when the land is so
abundant, man”
There was a vision of a great big bloody
mess
A blender full of people and fools
Smelt like burnt plastic and stool
But that’s another
Lions roar
I don’t need a war
Let em kill and die for
Was auch immer sie sehen um damit
zugrunde zu gehen
Mmhm Mhm
Who can see it’s a game dee dee dee dee dee dee
A Balance of respect with play
Build a castle to be washed away
Child’s eyes see the sway
Vibrational relational
Universal individual
Way Wehe the way Wehe
ay ay ay
So I’ve been flying
And knowing when it’s a dream
Oh there is magic singing
In the somewhere in between
crawling on my knees
I felt like crying but I’m tired of saying
Please
To those who just can’t see
How beautiful and precious every life is,
Indeed
I feel the lion who’s about to be set free
From the camel's back had a heart
attack in the spirit of “I don’t need
The hand that feeds when the land is so
abundant, man”
There was a vision of a great big bloody
mess
A blender full of people and fools
Smelt like burnt plastic and stool
But that’s another

I don’t need a war

Green Fields by Wild Animal
from Magisches Theater
Lyrics: John Patrick and Marie Therrien
How’s thinking now?
Oh what power
Light and sound
Anthropic shower
But it’s only a flower
In a field of green
Green fields
Wrap themselves around you
The blanket is warm
But no fire burns like truth
Every blade is grazing
On your amazement
Gracing you
With changes
Who’s thinking who?
Snap, crackle, boom
A blitz in the room
A boon behooves soon
If only as a tune
If only as a tune
Unbändiges Feuer in ihnen lodert
Farbenpracht und Lichter blühen
Steine glühen
Ein Meer aus Blumen umschließt dich
Wie ein Grashalm im Winde bebt
Veränderst du dich, formst dich neu
Und du weißt, dass auch er vergeht
Who’s thinking who?
Snap, crackle, boom
A blitz in the room
A boon behooves soon
If only as a tune
If only as a tune
They caught it off planet
But they planned it
Understand they’re gonna be bringin’ it home soon
Oh what power
Light and sound
Anthropic shower
But it’s only a flower
In a field of green
Green fields
Wrap themselves around you
The blanket is warm
But no fire burns like truth
Every blade is grazing
On your amazement
Gracing you
With changes
Who’s thinking who?
Snap, crackle, boom
A blitz in the room
A boon behooves soon
If only as a tune
If only as a tune
Unbändiges Feuer in ihnen lodert

Lyrics: John Patrick and Marie Therrien
Trees are singing
Monkeys are swinging
Everyone’s having a yell
There’s peace underneath it
We’ve just got to feed it
But nobody’s got a map to sell
So have you got a map to sell?
And does anyone speak bird?
Oh, right. That’s music
I stood under the tones
To relax my bones
My how they’ve grown
To be showing
Oh they’re showing through
Ooo
Show me me
Show me you
Let me see
We are we and
All is just being
Without a wall
Show me me
Show me you
Let me see
We are we and
All is just being
Without a wall
Stars are talking
My feet are walking on their own
I don't know, where they go
There is a sound crawling out of my throat
I’ve never heard before
There is a sound crawling out of my throat
I’ve never sung before
Eee
