All These Things At One Time

The boom goes crash when the chande2lier falls down
A street bum finds $100.00 on the ground
Boom crash and the chandelier's down
Little kiddies take a dog from the ole' dog pound
2 men in black suits meet at Central Park
they trade a secret briefcase on the mark
2 men in black suits meet at Central Park
as the CIA is hiding in the dark
The greenpeace activist yells at the bear hunter to stop
 
All the soldiers come back from the war,
A moment all the mothers were waiting for
all the soldiers come back from war
but some will die when they drink n' drive
A man wakes up after 40 years
A stutterer has a dream as an auctioneer 
a man wakes up after 40 years
but he will die when they drink n drive
At the site of a kodiak, 
he trips on his gun and the bear hunter gets shot 
 
All these things at one time
 
A Japanese man gives in to a brand new car
All the bells and whistles will take him far
A Japanese man gives in, a brand new car
but he burns his seat with a lit cigar.
the greenpeace activist 
laughs at the hunter who got shot
 
All these things at one time

Caught in My Trap

I am not, not who you think that I am
some sort of suffering child 
you took me in, you clothed and fed me 
now you're tied up
 
I am not, not who you think that I am
a warm, helpful, generous man
well I left out bait, you turned, you bit
and then I, from behind...
 
you're falling down
 
I eat humans, I'll eat your heart out

 

 

 

Bubblecraft

Morning's rush, ringing bells, blue touch
with their uncomfortable skirts and vests
and sleepy kids who skip their breakfast
woke up fast when a bubblecraft floated by their cars
 
A water sphere, a weightless atmosphere
takes a right on red, then yields the dip
it takes the loop, it flows with traffic
All while inside, a business man, suit 'n' tie
Gets shuttled along to work
 
Work for Money, Long for Luxury
 
8 hours by, on a rooftop sky
and it takes him for the long ride home
up through the clouds, up to the moon
oh my, oh my, 
my neighborhood looks like the inside
of a VCR
 
Long for Luxury, Work for Money

 

 

 

Passenger Seat

Finding myself in this place can seem a bit strange
now there's no passenger seat, and I race
I sing your song, even though you're gone tonight
And though things have changed (you, I, we)  say
we're still the same

 

 

Late Night In A Wax Museum

Late night in a wax museum, all is still & all is quiet
not even a squeaking mouse is heard down in his home
All the creature's come to life, stepping down from their display
music now fills the room, they dance the night away..
 
Doris Day and Napoleon, deeply lost in each ones eyes
Einstein with Marilyn Monroe, a love from a different time
 
Late night in a wax museum, the sun comes back from his roam
The creatures say goodbye for now, they make their way back home

 

 

 

Jekyll & Hyde Suite

My susurrant city, lying there sweetly, 
the crisp and cold evening, the moonlight against your skin
I can't help myself. I slacked off on drinking the fruit
and oh my townsfolk, who am I turning into?
 
the groan, the twitching of metal, wood and bone
 
What do we have here, pathetic nit-wit Jekyll, he just has a weak spine
Now look where we are, as my blood runs thick, I feel so alive
you can scream and you can shout, but its not worth your time
for I am Hyde…
 
Oh these women look fresh, might I take home your wife
for she makes me salivate
Oh get out of my way, all you little puny children
I'll eat off your legs
I feel you trying to fight, but it's not worth your time
and you won't win, for I am Hyde….no, no, no carry on
 
The death of Hyde -- I bring to you, the death of Hyde

 

 

 

Elephant Island

Scratch one more dash on the bow of the boat,
as 19 months forces pride down our throats
So throw another dog on the fire,
try not to think of your desires
 
Seasons change, but the days look the same
Our faces age as our beards grow in shame
Insanity's eyes creep up with a laugh
when Hurley almost lost the photographs
 
Listen men, keep your eyes to the sun
who melts the ice caps away
hey, hey, hey -- hold tight to the captain's word
of Shackleton's return
 
A year and 1/2 drifting in the Weddell Sea
Endurance froze and sank, we left in no luxury
We rowed our way to Elephant Island
He left to find the whaler's helping hand
 
We drank up the wine trying to pass up the time
We raise up our glass for today is our last!
The band begins the dark circus parade 
as spirits of all the crewmen, now fade 
 
(repeat chorus)
 
When that tugboat neared, Shackleton stood
up tall on it's bow, calling "Are you all well?"
to which was answered…."All safe boss, all well"
 
(repeat chorus)

 

 

 

Rings of Symbols

Would you let me fall, outta my mind?
Would you let me land, in your mind?
Functioning as one, functioning as one
 
Come all aboard for the train is leaving now
Come all aboard for your strange foreign land
 
We're all beings of sexual harmony
but the beauty of the Divine Wait
Rings of symbols
We are 3 notes harmonizing
all as one suspension chord
 
(repeat chorus)

So Long

Seems like it took so long to get here
But it won't seem so long since we've been here
In case this were to be the last time we're all as one ...
 
So Long, so long, so long, In song
 
Now that we're here, a fork in the road is before us
We're all splittin' up 
to the different parts of the body of Christ
and if this were to be the last time
I see you all till heaven, I Sing...
 
So Long, so long, so long, In song

Picturesque* 

Finding myself in this place can seem a bit strange
now you're in the passenger seat and I race
I follow you, you follow me, tonight
And you say we've changed but I say
we're still the same

 

 

Sails*

Winter*

Winter time is near and they'll all soon be falling down
The frozen atmosphere, I can sense it and smell it
 
She won't know about us when she blankets the town
A small voice tells us to go out
 
Winter is the year of golden declarations
I listen to the fear, as I'm driving to meet you
 
She don't know about us, when she blankets the town
A small voice tells us to go out

 

 

 

The Meaningless Words of Bobby Baker*

If you show me where to go, maybe we could work this out,
maybe we could figure what to do.
But I know the trees are blue, everything seems undue,
all the things you said when I was gone.
 
When I run away from you it just seems I've got to prove
A lot of things
 
I know that I'm very wrong, but I know you can change my mind
I know that you've got a million tricks
Just don't throw me to the dogs 
'cause they're mean and they've got big claws
I'm afraid to run back down the hall
 
'Cause when I run away from you, all the things they seem so true
when I run, I know I'll get back home
'Cause if you knew how much I love the way you love me
If you knew how much it means, to see you coming through
I know you are stronger than the people who you run with
you, you're stronger than this world

 

 

 

Doom and Despair*

Deep in the night, I've closed my eyes, sitting to wait for me
I'm coming to, can't seem to move,
body's held down, stuck to the ground
 
Then I lift up my head, get out of bed
wandering away, glad you never stayed
 
I see you in dreams, such a terrible thing
I hate the way you feel, I just hate the way you feel
 
Then I lift up my head, get out of bed
wandering away, glad you never stayed

 

 

 

Dancing Bear*

I bought you a dancing bear the day you said you didn't care
Now you've gone away from me love
I thought it was really something swell
You said it was something I can't even take to show n' tell
Now you've gone away from me love
It twisted around on its assistant ground, you just stared
Where's my ring, I don't want (hate) this pathetic thing
Is all you said.

 

 

 

Science and Enlightenment*

[Instumental]

 

 

 

Watching Cars Go By*

She knows she's got me, I'm sitting in the back
Watching cars go by
The sun is hot, and the trees oh so green
And I'm not worried about a thing

 

 

 

Undiscovered Epic of Walter Champion

Poor little Walter Champion, all alone in his room
The only place where he can smile, like the boys at the school
but all the kids will laugh no more
when Walter shows with a gun in his drawers
The celebrative bangs and thuds, the red confetti of blood
 
From Tweedle-Dee to Tweedle-Dum
To Walter hates you and everyone
From Tweedle-Dee to Tweedle-Dum
To Walter hates you and your mum
but all the kids will laugh no more
when Walter shows with a gun in his drawers
The celebrative bangs and thuds, the red confetti of blood
 
Leavin' the house, gotta go to school
runnin' late, tell me something new
I'm just driving, enjoying the cruise
with the windows down for some breeze, the breeze
 
A wild hare took me by surprise,
I throw my books on the school front lawn
Listening to the Beatles I love
I'll drive until I hit the West Coast sand
 
I'll get there in slow motion

 

 

 

A Traitor's Brain*

Cliff was all alone walking to the motel room
Falling fast asleep, suddenly it was new
His footsteps softly sounded on the wooden floor
But the sunlight's growing dim back to the door
and then gets bright again
 
Curtains danced around, tea cups marched from the shelves
The stove blew flames and chuckled as it burned up the pale
His mother, father, family, were nowhere to be found
Until he heard their cries from beneath the house
is where he found them with Bain.
 
Pulling his killer out, he introduced the head to a rock
But it was too late, the family's hearts had already stopped
He noticed the noise from the house, it was gone
Suddenly he finds himself sitting beside a pond
the breeze is lovely
