[rev. Sept. 9, 2013]
Walked like a spirit, serotonic fog
Time crawls away like a snake or a dog
For god sakes wake up, you people need more
For god sakes get up so we can score
Penetrate the truth in all its stupid shame
Negate the constant us, relegated down the chain
Improve upon the Vedic, releases Eve again
Disprove the opposition's apparitions, oh I reign/all our reign [1:24]
(Blessed One) Blessed One
(Blessed One) Blessed One
(Blessed One) Blessed One
Amid unbeliever unclean and unchaste
Wandering like the wasted one in the land of waste
The index as the futures, as the death spurs
Christ take your sutras, call them parables
Small town, warm night
Wide-eyed and free me
Altars for lights
Vanish discreetly
The revenue of telepaths were telegraphic
The flux of your fortunes used to stop the traffic
The samples of the core indicate necrotic
Just like Kali Yuga, that's so tragic
Background, blow down
Fade down, swooping
Curtain, nightfall
Vanish discreetly
(Blessed One) Blessed One
(Blessed One) Blessed One
(Blessed One) Blessed One
Descend into the heavy world through the layers
Burning through the afterglow, crashed between the flames
Sitting on the judgement when Paris chooses Love
Back in my apartment when the going gets too tough
Background, blow down
Fade down, swooping
Curtain, nightfall
Vanish discreetly
With the speed of a gazelle, the smack of a flipper
Evolve into wings and fins and hero into slippers
Defined nonchalance with your thirteen holy marks
Fumes cannot touch you, harpy only harks
Background, blow down
Fade down, swooping
Curtain, nightfall
Vanish discreetly
(Blessed One) Blessed One
(Blessed One) Blessed One
(Blessed One) Blessed One
(Blessed One) Blessed One
Background, blow down
Fade down, swooping
Curtain, nightfall
Vanish discreetly
Background, blow down
Fade down, swooping
Curtain, nightfall
Vanish discreetly
Background, blow down
Fade down, swooping
Curtain, nightfall
Vanish discreetly

Waitress with the short hair is stoned
She drifts amongst the tables
Old ladies talk like birds
Fly if they were able
The coffee has a calming effect
Nervous when I travel
Red lights and steel works
Let the journey unravel
Keeper
She's a keeper
Sleeper
You should keep her
The wine seems to have sobered me up
I'm hardly shaking
I'm gonna lose myself this time
And time that it's taking
There's no charge if you want to top up
The clientele are extras
Juggle their lives and their loves
Nicely ambidextrous
Keeper
She's a keeper
Sleeper
You should keep her
The speed seems to have slowed me down (keeper)
We talk about William from Glide
The things of the towns go by (sleeper)
I'm driving on the wrong side
Keeper
She's a keeper
Sleeper
You should keep her
Keeper
Sleeper
Keeper
Sleeper
Keeper...

The silence is wrong
He can't find the hotel
It was a while back
It's just a shell
And the place where it stood
Just a field full of weeds
It's a done deal (don't forget the silencer)
In a black mood
In a gray land
It's king harvest again
In the gray sand
And the thorns are all dough
Just a field full of weeds
It's a done deal (don't forget the silencer)
She's a busted fader
He's a brutal rider
Let's go to La Tolteca
Let's go inside there
The sangria's cloudy
The music is dragging
It's a done deal (don't forget the silencer)
In the candlelight
That's what we paid you for
Perfect disgrace
Through the screen door
We see the low boy bring
Just a field full of weeds
It's a done deal (don't forget the silencer)
It's an ink blot
You're a blue suit
You're a character
You're a smooth loop
I'm cutting out the start
It's rushing at the end
It's a done deal (don't forget the silencer)
The silence is wrong
He can't find the hotel
It was a while back
It's just a shell
And the place where it stood
Just a field full of weeds
It's a done deal (don't forget the silencer)
Done deal (don't forget the silencer)

China, saw your sister on the Nile/online [0:31]
When I asked her, he admitted they all love
Come on down, we're gonna take you deeper
You're gonna be fine, you're gonna be asleep
And when the day comes
Come on down, we're swimming in the black now
Can't go forward, can't go back
When the end comes
China, heard you singing with your friends
I'll be back tomorrow when my body mends
Come on down, we're gonna take you deeper
You're gonna be fine, you're gonna be asleep
And when the day comes
Come on down, we're swimming in the black now
Can't go forward, can't go back
When the end comes

Got your whiskey and Coke
You may appreciate this joke
You seem like a decent bloke
You're doing pretty well
No one could never tell that
You've got your guitar by a string
You may play Some Enchanted Evening
You should be able to sing
It's all gonna happen
No you could never tell then
You got your white stare from a show
It was some show that I could not know
And it's pretty empty below
Watching that shell
No one could never tell then
You've got your suit with a stitch
You may already have become rich
You seem like a son-of-a-bitch
Yet I like you very well
No you could never tell then
[rev. Sept. 4, 2015]
You fell through the ceiling
Into the party below
Somewhere south of the border
Where they grow the blow
And all your good ideas
Celebrated mistakes
Calculated, she wakes in the fall
It's no time at all
Filming a documentary
About drugs in the jungle
You become a sloth
When you steal a little sample
And all your brilliant plans
Fixed your horoscope
Transfixed, she gropes for a call
In no place at all
At a ruined resort
With your time-share cutie
How you had a blast
What a little beauty
And all your serious attempts
All your limitations
She makes your invitations seem small
There's no new at all
Plundering some artifacts
You cut yourself a deal
On the steps of the temple
Where sacrifices kneel
And all your marvelous hunches
Fill their vapid hearts
Rapidly she darts down the hall
It's no life at all (yeah)
[rev. Sept. 9, 2013]
(Yeah...)
We are the atoms of society
Serve up meat as a delicacy
Your breast-fed heads, what a thing of shame
They got you dope, shoulder the blame
(Yeah...)
We are the pillars of society
Holding up the sign with a ceremony
Faded old minstrels and truculent kids
Let them eat cake like their granddaddies did
(Yeah...)
If they can't eat cake give them sugarrose
With the stuff that killed the monkeys in the studios
With the stuff that stuffed the donkeys at the taxios
Bye, sleep well, cheerio
We are the atoms of society

It's got a life of it's own
It's got a terrible shake
It's got the option for air
Almost a joke that I care
Almost a cloak that I wear
It's covered in dust now
I mean it's not asking much now
The old mana vacuumed you in
The old mana vacuumed you in
The old mana vac
One of the student, better get to it
It arrived with a crack, man
We should get our money back, man
Because we're stupid and naive
It doesn't mean that we don't believe
The old mana vacuumed you in
The old mana vacuumed you in
The old mana vac
One of the student, better get to it
It's a bad time of year
It's a good time of life
It's the sweet time of love
It's the nice time of place
It's a fine time for tears
It's a black time for dreams
It's high time for spears
It's been coming for years
The old mana vacuumed you in
The old mana vacuumed you in
The old mana vac
One of the student, better get to it
It's a reasonable doubt
It's an unusual quest
It's an inferior position
It's the one we like best
And it's the end of the sideshow
It's the end of the terror
It's the end of the arguments
It's the end of the error
It's the end of the error
The old mana vacuumed you in
The old mana vacuumed you in
The old mana vac
One of the student, better get to it
The old mana vacuumed you in
The old mana vacuumed you in
The old mana vac
One of the student, better get to it
The old mana vacuumed you in
The old mana vacuumed you in
The old mana vac
One of the student, better get to it

It's opening night, everything's going fine
Finally finding a timeless time
It's an open line
And angle your way through the actors and sets
Entrance, exit, dressing rooms
Cigarettes
Black light
White spot
Can do
Cannot
You surface again for your one big scene
It's a real pot-boiler with a civilized sheen
Paris spring
But you mutter, you murmur, you merely mumble
You're quick and you crack, you quiver
And you crumble
Cold cream
Hot bed
Wiped out
Ended

The day we left for January
The maelstroms lashed our side
Tore us away from the glass water bay
Where the impulse engines died
We scrambled up the crow's nest
Could not believe our luck
Our terrified cries vibrated through the sky
Lightning and thunder struck
Down and down and down
Drowning in yourself
Down and down and down
Down and down and down
Drowning in yourself
Down and down and down
The sergeant was a drunkard
The wing commander bent
We crashed one night on the other side
Just past the Duke of Kent
Passengers were a lethal lot
Hanging allowed in the nets
They dreamed and screamed as we picked up steam
In the mouth of the rivulet
Down and down and down
Drowning in yourself
Down and down and down
Down and down and down
Drowning in yourself
Down and down and down
The mutineers were scabby dogs (down and down and down)
Howling for our blood (drowning in yourself)
We hied her whip up and down the ship (down and down and down)
We hurled into the flood
The enemy hove into sight (down and down and down)
Blazing like a saw (drowning in yourself)
We struggle in her wake like a damaged snake (down and down and down)
We didn't get too far
The sea was a vast mosaic
Fallen to disrepair
The sky was aglow like the chaos below
As the first shots filled the air
The charge swept off our captain's leg
So they put him in a barrel of graphite
Commanding from the fray as his blood ran away
His soul fled to the light
[rev. Sept. 9, 2013]
Starboard and port
Comes creeping in the mist
I'm lost in thought
Lost in the thought of this
Seasick
Seasick
The lovers flow and ebb
The traffic comes and goes
I'm hanging in this web
You would never suppose
Seasick
Seasick
Stern and bow
Up and down
Side to side
And around
Seasick
Seasick
The seasons fluctuate (seasick)
Rivers rise and dwindle
Mouths fly past late
The inches never kindle
Seasick (seasick)
Seasick
Seeeaaasick

When it's time to say goodbye
When it's time to say goodbye
When it's time to say goodbye
Waiting for you in the sky
Born alone everyone
Everything under the sun
Stay that way till kingdom come again
When it's time to leave you here
Waiting for you to appear
Always into suffering
Long sweet rest for everything
Silence for the song we sing again
Always into suffering
Long sweet rest for everything
Silence for the song we sing again
When it's time to say goodbye
Waiting for you in the sky
Waiting for you in the sky
When it's time to say goodbye
