Some Drilling Implied

I dare not say
The way I feel
About your inability to
Suck it up and win the game
Chew me up and spit me out
It's been a long ugly winter
I need a sunbath
??Winning horse??
Of course I'm not complaining
I'm simply dying
Yes I'm waiting
Got a good love left
Good lord willing
Got a tractor to tow
The house on fantasy park
??The new corn belt??
In the new Bible belt
Take me to the pilot light
And sing me to sleep
You fantasy creep

Watch Me Jumpstart

Watch me jumpstart as the old skin is peeled
See an opening and bust into the field
Hidden longings no longer concealed
Watch me bulldoze every bulldozer away
Each new obstacle from each old new day
Where it's going it's hard for me to say

And shoot me down
And bring me down
But I won't be around
As you run through the places you love
I remember the faces that cry
And they're pulling me back so I have to die

And watch me jumpstart at the first light of day
Each new sensation just blows me away
Don't look now, don't look now, I'm a phase
Straight from ground zero, X marks the spot
I can't pretend to be something I'm not
'Cause I'm a supernova erect and white hot

And shoot me down
And bring me down
But I won't be around
As you run through the places you love
I remember the faces that cry
And they're holding me back so I have to die

And watch me jumpstart I'm Maximum Jack
Shot through the cosmos like an alien attack
Film finished, fade into black.

Queen Of Cans And Jars

To see the light and try but failed
On jagged seas that can't be sailed
And sought to lead but always trailed
Asked questions anyway

And all around the breeding grounds
The nymphos sweetly played
The queen of cans and jars will keep them safe

To be so keen on global trend
To be so tight on how and when
To scratch and claw until the end
To work for each new day

And all around the hunting ground
The dead were on display
The queen of cans and jars will keep them safe

Bomb In The Bee-Hive

Here I go around the blame
Here I go with hand over flame
Down on the floor at 9:00
A scene not fully recognized
At precisely 9:00
Here I go with clapping hands
Here I go with "still no plans"
Illuminate the mystery
The film is not for view
The film is not for you.

Unleashed! The Large-Hearted Boy

In a world you think you understand
stay put and tune to another plan(et?)
It’s up to you to stay put
the shoe is on the other foot
Driven to the fields
whipped like a slave
ready for (Out?)
Ready for the .beast unleashed
large hearted boy

Metal Mothers

Tune in rock star, there’s no dark spot running around your face
you find time to get laid
you find ways to get paid
you don’t see no busted rainclouds watering up your days
and so set in your ways
and so fixed in your gaze

you’re calling out for more
you’re breaking out in time
it sounds just like a war
and everybody’s blind
you’re digging out some more
and now it’s time to fly
sleep? sound in the ghost town away
and you can just stay

a terrible way
hanging out there, areas of gray
got most of it motioned away
got a life to lead oceans away

Tune in rock star, there’s no dark spot running around your face
you find time to get laid
you find ways to get paid
you don’t see no busted rainclouds watering up your days
and so set in your ways
and so fixed in your gaze

Everyday

Clouds open dust and waves rise up to
obscure God's very blue sky.
People skating ginger(ly), only endure

Lines of shopping mothers grabbing the kids
Pushing upto the front
Rows of pretty little house and lawns
I want you to have a beautiful one.

Moving in circles out on the freeway
Coming and going to everyday, everyday
Moving in circles out on the freeway
Coming and going to everyday, everyday

Got a brand new car with hideaway lights
and a blue racing stripe
Costs a little extra but its worth it to me
when money burns through the exhaust pipe
I'd like to take you on a quick spin sometime
to show you what its got

I can't believe you chose to work in the line
I'm so glad that I'm not

Everyday and everyway
Everyday and everyway
Everyday and everyway

Captain's Dead

{chorus}
Captains Dead
The war machine has fled
and People have gone home
Remember what he said
and you won't feel alone

You won't remember at this time
tommorrow when all the sorrow
is gone
A pull of the lever and nothing's forever
We'll ride to the heart of the sun

{chorus}

I Am Produced

I am pressed, printed, stomped
And strategically removed
I am everybody
Insane without innocence
I am trapped, tricked, packaged
And shipped out
I am produced
I am produced
Pressed, printed, stomped, tripped
Trapped, tricked, packaged, shipped...

Crutch Came Slinking

Crutch came slinking round my house last night
Told me to get up and ready to fight
Little did he know
I was happy with you
Little did he show
Now I'm going all the way, hey hey
Now I'm thinking maybe I should leave
Crawling backwards into my coatsleeve
Little did we say
But I would pack you up and leave
Little did we know
Who owes, but it's okay
And it's all wrong
And so I'll stay
And now I know you're not leaving too soon
Grab your dreams and cast your cash away
Bring your hopes here's hoping you will stay
I'm not angry now cause
I'm not going

Club Molluska

Have you seen that girl?
With the blood-shot eyes
With the razor-sharp teeth
And the hungry smile

It's just a runaway world x4

Have you seen that boy?
With voluptuous face
He's a concrete ?
And he's the king of the world

Just a runaway world x4

Liar's Tale

Let me tell you a story
Conclusive, based on fact
Long ago in the morning
She left did not come back
I don't really care anymore
I don't really care anymore
Change the days into nights
And you will know when the feeling is right
This tale is too long
The plot is weak and the characters wrong
I don't really care anymore
I don't really care anymore
But she changed my life
I thought she loved me
And I will pray for you
You'll see the truth
Cause that's how it's got to be
Oh oh oh yeah ooh
Let me tell you a story
About the way she was
Let me tell you a story
About the way she was

Calling Zero

Scary, did the sun come out t'day?
Blasted, I did not recall the program
Honey, did the weekend make you ill?
Hush Margarita, make it go away

Calling Zero

I love a girl named Colleen
But she loves a bouncer six feet ten
And that's a mistake 'cus he's Colleen's hero
This is a song called:

"Calling Zero"

Please Freeze Me

It's her again oh oh
She's a little disturbed again oh no
And I'm feeling down again so it goes
Circling round like trouble and toil
A princess boiling milk
They thought she was a witch
And when they poured it on her
She didn't melt
And I'll bear no guilt
It's her again oh oh
She's a little disturbed again oh no
And I'm feeling down again so it goes
Circling round like the juggler of the stars
The monster of the moon
It's happening too soon

Long Distance Man

He's a long distance man
and he keeps on going because its not worth blowing
and he does what he can because it not worth losing and
there ain't no choosin

Any other world that you live in
don't believe in second chance
Sell another dream he won't take it
so don't fake it when you dance

Cover up your eyes in these bad times for
the sad times passing years build another tower
for your freedom he don't need them shed no tears.
for the long distance man.....

Game Of Pricks

I've waited too long to have you
Hide in the back of me
I've cheated so long I wonder
How you keep track of me

You could never be strong
You can only be free
And I never asked for the truth
But you owe that to me

I've entered the game of pricks
With knives in the back of me
Can't call you or on you no more
When they're attacking me

I'll climb up on the house
Weep to water the trees
And when you come calling me down
I'll put on my disease

You could never be strong
You can only be free
And I never asked for the truth
But you owe that to me
And I never asked for the truth
But you owe that to me
And I never asked for the truth
But you owe that to me

Are You Faster?

Near a distant sea
Her clear yellow eyes
Are opening to pink and black skies
And soon they are blinking
With compound camera eyes
Are you faster
Than the eyes of the car-people?
Styled in silver
Are you able to roam
Faster then the lighthouse keeper credits you?

Echos Myron

Tower to the skies
an academy of lies
And what goes up surely must come down
And we felt the mighty blowup with the walls coming down
Or something like that

Most of us are quite pleased with the same old song
And all of a sudden I'm relatively sane
With everything to lose and nothing to gain
Or something like that

Man of wisdom and man of compromise
Man of weak flesh in an armored disguise
All fall down

"If it's right you can tell" echos Myron like a siren
With endurance like the liberty bell
And he tells you of the dreamers
But he's cracked up like the road
And he'd like to lift us up, but we're a very heavy load
And we're finally here and shit yeah, it's cool
and shouldn't it be - or something like that

You're Not An Airplane

Come on now and see the course
That never fields the game of choice
And cold allies of steel
Couldn't buy the way it feels
Rusty and divided steel
The race is yet to come

Knock 'Em Flyin'

When you're called to the plough
You will always slide inside her
If you work really hard
You will lose yourself and wrong her
Wait a little longer
Plough when you feel it
It's your right-tonight
And take it slow
If you grow it will you try it
You'll be so inspired to go out
And bring back the only one who matters anyhow

Strawdogs

We've been burned out
Concerned out
Discerned out
We've been sought out
'Cause we can't believe our eyes
We are the willing supporters
And we'd like to know
Why everything is so unkind

We've been sent in
Defending the one thing
Cause it's our duty
We've got to find out why
We are the willing supporters
And we'd like to know
Why everything is so unkind
We really should be fine, yeah

Learning to Hunt

You were a child reaching out brave and true
For big thins in the next room
And I couldn't step into such open sky
Where on the crest of uncertainty you loom
I'm learning to hunt for you
Say that you'll never run too far away
Even with all the answers out there
Where it's brighter but no one will care
Half as much as I care about you
I'm learning to hunt for you

Of Mites and Men

my heart is not clean,
your table is green,
too collect my things,
the harvest of every men,
is in the can.

in a single city,
a strand in your hand,
where all your men live to study you,
and eat you where you live,
Get down.

Pop Zeus

He who shits out magic may shine
for the good of a customs and calling
call him Max
send him a fax
charge him no tax

Pop Zeus

He who gives love to angry children
kids on the skid with baggy trousers
call him zerman find him a helmet
He will come crashing

Pop Zeus

Electric Newspaper Boy!

Surgical Focus

With surgical focus
She stared at me and said
I'm willing to reach out
Get in to your head
And I will keep you
and cleanse you
She glared at me and wept
A change is not going to hurt you
Not this time

And I've been waiting in line for this
Now that it's taken forever
I insist
Until I get it, I can't breathe
Climbing high upon the rocky cliffs
We fly
With surgical focus

Unspirited

Even when you're lifted by the lie
Heaven sent and gifted-ask them why
Never give it all up-never try
All their hearts are breaking

Unspirited
The less than life you live
The lessons make you lame, boy
the same, boy
Everywhere that you go, I'm with you now

When you lose it all, you'll think of me
When you take the fall, you'll drink to me
I'm the one who did it painlessly
I'm the one that does it

Unspirited

Go Gold

Not so tired in trials of lately
Devil in the spaces
Giving credit, going places
You are told
To go
Feeling bold?
Go gold

Preconceived in half allegiance
Ideas of the wicked
Who remove you from your sickness
Young and old
Oh, no?
Are you sold?
Go gold

We will march one-half a million
From the tents to the pavilion
Where the drinks are being sold
Go gold!

For the quality of living
For the pleasures it is giving
Have the courage, leave the fold
Go gold!

My Kind of Soldier

Paralyze the chains
Soft the shelled remains
Stun the strike brigade
They are played
Out with cheek and hair
Take the right to bare
Teeth to bite them down
In the ground
my kind of soldier
you can ride on my shoulders when youve won
fight for the moment of control
when it opens then its gone.
introduce your pride
to the other side
vaporize the trial
with denial.
my kind of soldier
you can ride on my shoulders when youve won
fight for the moment of control
when it opens then its gone.

Fantasy Creeps

Here come the fantasy creeps
They're all around you
They're here to give you the creeps
They've come to hound you
Here come the fantasy creeps
Thick walls they pound through
They know where everyone sleeps
I'm glad they found you
Any time, any time at all
repeat x3
Here come the fantasy creeps
To interrupt your TV show
Here come the fantasy creeps
Rereleased on video
Any time, any time at all
repeat x3

Oh, Blinky

Now turn tonight
The day is done
And it is good and it is fun
We gave ???
And gave you space
You suck it up in from your face (?)
All over the place

The night is long
And I'm a man
I've gotta look at you up the stairs (?)
I can't ??? feel
Just who is it
But it is good and it is there

The day is done
the day is done
And it is good and it is fun...

Postal Blowfish

Noticing the change
We are taking time
Everybody knows
Everybody's fine
And we'll figure out
Purpose in the end
Unless we have to jump
Unless we have to win

Chorus: Hold your tongue
Brace yourself
Give me a kiss
Show me what I missed

Can I find a phone
Can I drop a dime
Can I get a loan
Running out of time
And I'll have a toast
To what it's all about
Unless they move us on
Unless they move us out
Chorus
Seven doglegs hung to dry
It works that way
Postal blowfish make me cry
It works that way
Begging on the nail don't fail
To clue me in
??Cluster frogs and crabs begin??

I Am A Tree

I am a tree - I show my age when I don't cry
I have the leaves that will fall off when wind blows by
Don't strip off my bark - I have been stripped of it before
Yesterday's gone and tomorrow has so much more in store

You are a bird - you're taking off in every way
Say the last word until there is nothing more to say

Don't interrupt - you know the squirrels are my friends
Get off my limb - for I will break before I bend

I'm planning to see
I'm planning to feel you all over me
So climb up my trunk and build on your nest
Come and get the sap out if me
I am a tree!
Fruitless and free!
No symmetry!
Touch me and see!

I am a tree - counting my rings will do no good
I won't live long but I would be with you if I could
When you take flight, remember me to one who lives there
Since you have flown, there's something special in the air
