In The Garden Of Gilgamesh

[rev. Aug. 30, 2015]

In the garden of Gilgamesh
Adam tastes the apple flesh
Then without warning
The early truth was dawning

The cherubs and seraphim
Coming down to cherish him
Jehovah says, "Now stop that"
"There's nobody but me can cop that"

And the serpent with his glassy eye
Look up into the burning sky
His tongue tasted the ash
And his teeth began to gnash

In the garden of Gilgamesh
Angel fruit delivered fresh
Panthers walking on the lawn
Falcon riding on the storm

 

16th Sept

[added Aug. 16, 2013]

Got a feeling it's good
Don't tell me I'm wrong
It's not your song

I've got a feeling that's rare
Don't tell me you're there
'Cos I don't care

I've got a feeling it's fine
Don't say it's not mine
You're way out of line

I've got a feeling it's nice
Don't give me advice
I don't need your lies

[All repeated 3 times]

 

Changeling Child

[added Mar. 9, 2014]

I saw you in the street
I saw you in the place
I saw you in the crowd, yeah
I saw you in the maze

I heard you in the night
I heard you in the song
I heard you in the plane ride
I heard you in the wrong

Oh my lord you know I can't afford you
With your guitar wealth, your expensive taste
Changeling child, you know it's been a while
So forget the hope and please forgive my haste

Love you in the sand
Love you in the snow
Love you in the hand and
In the afterglow

I want you in my mind and
I want you in my camp
I want you in my blindspot
Hold you on the lam [1:20]

Oh my lord you know I can't afford you
With your guitar ways and your expensive taste
Changeling child, you know it's been a while
So forget the hope and please forgive my haste

Oh my lord you know I can't afford you
With your guitar way, your expensive taste
Changeling child, you know it's been a while
So forget the hope and please forgive my haste

Oh my lord you know I can't afford you
Oh my lord

 

Charmed

[added Mar. 9, 2014]

Holy moment come cloaked
Don't sleep deep unto the lost enclose
I live and I dream and I try to die for you
Hey baby I come to white light right
Turn it up real bright
Burn the night quite
I live and I dream and I try to die for you

Sick and tired over...
Sick and tired over...
Sick and tired over...
Sick and tired over...
Sick and tired over...
Sick and tired... you

 

Gethsemene

[added Aug. 16, 2013]

On the horizon blackbirds fly
Into the vortex of a hungry sky
Wait in the forest where the time has stopped
Weight in the city where the blade has dropped
Oh Gethsemene
Oh Gethsemene

And in the morning we'll be on our way
I've gotta be somewhere by Saturday
Wait in the desert with my devil cake
Wait in the garden for my father's sake
Oh Gethsemene
Oh Gethsemene

Joy Dust

[added Mar. 9, 2014]

Joy dust comes between us
And then hover inter-venous
Ah, she takes us to the cleaners
And these curtains are coarse

Joy dust in the wind
And it feels like even God has sinned
And I can't believe I pinned
All of my hopes to one horse

In joy dust (joy joy joy joy joy joy joy joy)
And in joy dust
In joy dust (joy joy joy joy joy joy joy joy)
And in joy dust

Joy dust in the furnaces
She always keeps her promises
And I can't change from what this is
It's all over me now

Joy dust in the violet
And there is the end some ??? [1:27]
And she needs it for survival
Gotta get it some how

In joy dust (joy joy joy joy joy joy joy joy)
And in joy dust
In joy dust (joy joy joy joy joy joy joy joy)
And in joy dust

 

The Ether

[added Aug. 16, 2013]

??? [0:08] stands like a señorita
In the dark and revolving door
Waiting for the night to greet her
And only what I meant her for [0:20]
A hundred miles in the heat and sleet [0:27]
And I can't stand one inch more

So I ride
And she hide
Gone into the ether
Left me with a fever

I'm gonna set this, I'm gonna set this place apart
Give you the loving a la carte
Ah, like a white shard in your heart

But I'm weak
And she sleeps
Gone into the ether
Left me with a fever
And I got nothing neither
Gone into the ether
Yeah, huh
Yeah, huh

??? [2:24] stands like a señorita
In the dark and revolving door
Waiting for the night to greet her
Waiting here for her, wait here for...
I walk a hundred miles in the heat and the steamer [2:42]
I can't stay

 

Matter

[added Mar. 9, 2014]

I knew that this day would come
My ??? [0:13] date's on the calendar
If only I could get some more
Of the stuff that's in the cylinders
The old days it was called ??? [0:21]
Nowadays it's called Riveter [0:22]
??? [0:23] easy chair
??? [0:25] furniture

Yeah, alright

I knew that it wouldn't happen
We hear you next to middle ground [0:45]
I told myself I ain't at home
I'm just that hollow hologram
I fall back to a world of logic
Lord it ain't a telegram

Yeah, alright

 

Nineveh

[added Aug. 16, 2013]

I gotta cool baby, she roams so free
Refines her sexy motions in a bar
I parted the sea, I swam straight [0:18] ahead
Let's go to Nineveh, it isn't that far

Nineveh, I want to hold you
Just like I told you
I'll never walk these streets again now

I got the faded letters and the Jericho jitters
'Cos my baby went to Babylon
Sodom and Gomorrah, ah let's leave it for tomorrow
'Cos the Nineveh is the only one

Nineveh, I want to hold you
Just like I told you
I'll never walk these streets again now

Nineveh, I want to follow you
 (I gotta cool baby, she roams so free)
 (Refines her sexy motions in a bar)
I want to swallow you whole
 (I parted the sea, I swam straight [1:22] ahead)
Never feel the soul in here now
 (Let's go to Nineveh, it isn't that far)

 

The Ancient World

[rev. Aug. 16, 2013]

The girls in Phoenicia
Gonna be so pleased to meet ya
Be a king in Tyrus just for the night
The women down in Carthage
Don't come with extra baggage
The band in the garage, double sigh

Oh lord
Go forward
To the ancient world
Here we go
Here we go
Here we go

Oh lord
Go forward
To the ancient world
Here we go
Here we go
Here we go

The Moors down in Spain
Well they save some more again
And they get some more and they still say more again
The Vandals and the Huns
Having all their fun
Fighting in the sun and the rain

Oh lord
Go forward
To the ancient world
Here we go
Here we go
Here we go

Oh lord
Go forward
To the ancient world
Here we go
Here we go
Here we go

 

Mansuit Song

[added Mar. 9, 2014]

Well I'm with you in the morning in the dust and heat
But we hit first into some mag
And I caught you fallin', and I heard you callin'
When the sun was a ball of white

With a ??? [0:31] heading ??? [0:32] hazy blur
Like a worried bird in flight
As I flew through the skies with my unopened eyes
And my disguise welded on so tight

I tried to unravel all the threats of this life
But I nearly left this mansuit
I ameliorated then I exasperated
Then wandered into dispute

I took down my things like a blind man says
I pulled out my strings by the roots

I collided with the side of a gamma slide [2:25]
My pride was like a war
The bombs were tickin' and the dogs were lickin'
And the flickering flames did crawl

The medicine swallowed, the suspect followed
The winner pulls on her shawl
The words were spoken, the stuff was broken
I was jokin' with some bloke at the mall

The hurricane sheep, the cocaine leap
And the heart rate's gonna fall
The winter wind crazy and it started to amaze me
That nobody would praise me at all

There's an impersonator who I deal with later
Put on a crate of cologne on in the hall
I was filled with disgust as I snorted joy dust
And then shot out the street in the pall
