Dig

The Mothers

A surreal sound of eight-legged groove
A serving of today's psycadellicasy
(And) when you embrace this sonic mural
We will be together, our spirits mad survivors

Up

Levitate

Feel Heavy
Once Felt it... Hard


Question an answer
For a thousand days
Give birth to the Earth
Then let it drift away
Open and flow
Just swinging forever
Making love to the ground
Because it just feels better


It ain't easy
Drink it in
Think a while... Spit


There's both shining and darkness
Yet they share a day
Was there a man on a cross
Or was it just a fake
Even in shame
You can't hide your growth
Though the butterfly flies
He's sinking like a stone
The killing sun
It hurts my eyes
And comes hard
Onto my skin
And as I find shade
From tree to tree
I live to learn
To dig down deep
I feel the pain
And love the hurt
I don't complain


Trancing in the grass
Suck it off the world
When you're full of itv Shrug, feel fortunate
Then go where levitation lives
Where agrivation grows
Where sleeping's too hard
On the thinking bone
Intensity is what I need
To suffer for the pleasure
Its heat, hard, life and death
Living all together
In a small room
Full of me and my friends
Trying to find the means
To justify the end

Up

Rain Will Fall

Lookin'
At the world go
Trying to understand
Electric wind blowin' like
A demon fan
Or a symphony of hatred
Blowin angst
Off an immaculate stage
How tranquil is an ocean
Before a storm
Like a silent play


Chanting thunder
Dance naked and I feel
So wired
It's a personal voodoo
Runnin' through my veins
Like blood
With inhibition long gone
and no real sense
of space or time
A weird vibration
Don't know my right
From wrong


Rain will fall


Poetry in motion
Both rolling
Both getting me high
A shiver went through me
A tidal wave
I only felt inside
It's an animal instinct
That takes us over
And we must survive


Four brothers make the mother
Four brothers form as one

Up

So Gently We Go

Fill my head with
Your nonsense
You can breathe my breath
Till I turn red
Close your eyes
Try to follow me
If you close your eyes
You can become me
You can park your shoes
On my front step
Then gently walk barefoot
Through my sunken chest
I'll shade my eyes from
The burning sun
But feel confident
'Cause we're as bold
As love... and laughter


Wake me up when
The day is late
so I can watch the sunset
and go back to bed
And dream so real
A fantastic stage
Psychodramatic means to
Uncertain ends
I'll scare you blind with
My confidence
As cool as Jesus
And his twelve best friends
The reason we can
Do these things is that
The Earth has told
Of an outrageous spring...
Remembered


We'll meet for breakfast
In the sun room
The feeling in my soul
As sweet as good perfume
Leave your sex
At the door... come in
There's ecstasy for all
No need to leave your name
Pirouettes
We will make in game
On the ceiling
Movies of our lives will play
The reason we can
Do these thngs is that
Our minds are clouded
And we can't see
Straight


Maybe I've playedv My part
But it's a players
Art
Me and my friends
We were just living... playing
I've heard the sound
That silence makes
And I realize the world
Can break
From the inside out
Or outside in
On a breath of wind

Up

Not Quite Sonic

Not yet sonic
But I'd like to reach the point
Where I can say
Yes I am
But it always seems to be
About sensibilities
And not who's listening
No I'm not quite sonic
What's real in the art school
What's real in the white room
This yet to tell my conscience
Who to trust my thoughts with
Or who to love
You're oh so sonic


So and so fantastically boring
You're a fashion whore
Being real is one thing
Being nothing is something
But at this point
There's something wrong
Chemically expensive hair
Money that we wear
Will get us what?
It kinda makes you think
Only animals
Are friends... surreal friends
Truly sonic


The sights
They're embryonic
See waht you want
I'm not quite sonic
The sounds
They're quadraphonic
Semi-moronic
Not quite sonic

Up

Production

This man
May have a shitload
To prove
He's got to settle a score
Against the groove
Infinite orgasm
Like endless joy and pain
Thunder to my ears
Like a holy rain


An aural wall of waking
Awash in purple paint
And a digging
Of the flowers in your yard
Electric rays of healing
Intensify the feeling of hatred
Towards the things you say
I ain't


Fear a man-child
His soul and seman
Pathetic thoughts he thinks
Forever
Heard you caused a landslide
Walking home
Soon slide the man-child
Under your coat


Product of your generation
Your masturbation
A master plan
A holy man
Infanticide
Decaying minds
Mass corruption


The product
And its production

Up

Lost My America

A chair in the corner
One leg broken
And a whisper in the hall
There's frustration
Another walk around the room
A loss of direction
Before the start


Some say a lot
With few words spoken
Some with peace
Say nothing at all
It's just a matter
Of motivation to live
Just a question
Of where to get love


Thrills and sand
Fall through my open hand
Where's my time gone
Words look for the song


Lost my America
But made my own way
I believe
To this garden
But on my face
The idea is showing
Shelter me for no reason
At all


Sunlight slanting
Paranoid
Feeling cold
A little fucked up... alone
Seems I'm spending
These supposed best of years
Quite unlike
It says right here
Cold
A little fucked up... alone


Take the face
In hands spread open
And one to one
Let the power run
Feed the mouth
That's hungry... open
Feed the mind
That wonders why

Up

No One

Shades of gray
Hate influence
A constant truth
Put into effect
The question
On a dead friends face
The tragic
Stance he used to fake
Passed away for circumstance


A forced exit out of
Innocence
The right to choose
Stays in her head
Systematic ignorance
A politicians
Hand in your pants
Searching
For what he don't have


Creating new obscenities
Harassed
And broken down and in
An eye towards
Eternity
A passing glance
And half a chance
At sanity
Shows you
Things... they get away


It's all we can do
To ride it on through
No one
Leaves the caravan


Feel the signs
The jazz... the band
Affection
For a certain time
A haze of mid-life
Drunkeness
You're crucified for what
You're art says
If art is
God... true art has left

Up

Undone

Living alone, body shaking
Cars outside
They're singing their songs
The candles wave
And I get to thinking
How people see things
And deal with them
In different ways


Trying to move forward
Like a walk underwater
Two steps back
Like a walk through silent streets
I've heard the word
Guess I'm tired of trying
Everybody
I'm saying the 'pop' is gone


Fighting the fight
With the waterline
Catching breath
And a dirty breeze
What's been used up
Has been more than needed
One river rolling
Two rivers going dry


I'm down
Undone
Down, undone then gone
Being, beyond
Soft hands
That touch the sun

Up

Basketball

I'm barefoot, bristling
Solitude
On my rooftop, solid
So like this come of stars
Staring at me
Who's out there?
I can see the girl
Across the way
She can't see me
And I touch myself
With just a little bit of confusion
But I'm all alone
And that's all that matters


It's the chance
I'm taking
It's the danger I like


Within this
Euphoric kind of feeling
It's just a sex high
There ain't no waterfalls
There ain't no grassy grass here
Just a casual nod
And basketball
I don't mind
Cause I'm still alive


All thoughts and feelings
Under my ceiling


This city
Hangs a sensual tension
This city
Screams for more affection
Hitting it from all directions
Just a kid
With the past of a grown man


Sold my sex
In public places
To junked out fags
With yellow eyes
Running
For their Times Square lives
Hit the river, swim in shit
But never
Tried to open my eyes
In the dark
I see dead young faces
Fix me up
And keep your Zen

Up

And The Experience

Snowin' in July
My girls mouth on my toes
Complainin' old ghosts
In bedsheets of love
Christmas
In my legs
A strange start to summer
But I gave it all up
In time to wonder


Just when I thought
I knew what I wanted
A dirty old man reminds me
I'm young...
"Experience
The truth of all colours
Think it out,
Feel it up
But do it right now"


How long 'till I'm real
I long to be real
How long 'till I'm real
Left home to live
And I did


Trippin' all alone


I've travelled miles
Because of my head
I've sang to myself
To keep from going mad
The land as my bed
I slept beside the road
The ground is my friend
I become the road
The longer I'm gone
Changing on the go
The better I'll know


Mother and Dad
Can only give you so much
So I gave it of myself
In the real world, love
Twenty first century
Mind expansion
I wrote my own poems
'Cause I lived 'em

Up

The Universe In You

It's just a thing with you
A spacious place
Infininte
Dangerous
Promising
Black with white
This night


Years of tears, emotion
Held like so... inside
Autumn
Dogs
Saturday
Nervousness
Blood
Drugs
Rage


And then it hit me
Though I saw it coming
Hard
Sheer intensity
The thinking in your thinking
The feeling in your feeling
Touched by a boy's
Restless young erection
You slam


Arms are open
Eyes are wide
What was out there
Is now in you
You drink it in
Scratched the skin
Bit the hand that hits
You had your way


Wanting some of everything
Living life
Thinking it would shine
Touched this stone
And what'd you find?
Humanity blind


A fiery red
And glowing world
Intoxicating... to a girl
Straddling life
In the atmosphere
But it's just changing times
And a few crazy people

Like A Girl

Can't think a straight line beyond the hill
It seems like a mountain next to an ocean behind
A thrill almost in my reach
If there's a way I could
Feel the face of intelligence
I'm a man, I would understand
What a good head says...you're no me
Can't see the forest for all
The green, it all gets in my way
Can't dig a desert without
The need for old religion, for holy grails
And a Jesus nail through the head
For all the pain and misguided faith
My mind erased before I had time
To waste my afternoon


Every thirty days a light goes on
And brightens my backyard a yellow
Dying sun
I bite my tongue and swallow pride and blood
On some other plane I have
Become affected drawn and strange
I'm inclined to blame
My Mother for dressing me like a girl
I don't know maybe that's kind of weird


A teenage breakdown without the will
Or without thinking
Taking low roads and coloured pills
Always searching
Maybe then I would find
A place in this mess
It swells a vein that the only things
That are keeping me awake
Are re-runs of the Mod Squad and cartoons

Up

One More Astronaut

One more astronaut in black skin
Of universe
One more travellin' man
With heavy tired eyes, feeling cold
Thinking around the clock of drinking
On the job, of the powdered food
And piss bags, never having sex and growing old


Headspace...alive and painless,
Weightless and almost sane
I close my eyes, I become the sky
Headspace...alone and shameless
Can't wait to find the faces
I left behind in a troubled time
Back home


It gets so lonely you know
Weeks and months alone chasing
Sleep and space junk and the dying
Stars I've known and loved
Through true decline
Of the five billion minds or so
Through mudslides
And earthquakes, the blue one holds
And rolls along


One more astronaut in
Endless old universe with
One more second chance at
Wondering why he's here at all
Bold are the ones who
Come over the line to fall over
The horizon...never ones to fade away
Then it hit me, this
Cosmic pull and energy
It kinda makes me wonder
If I'll ever make it Back home

Up

Another Sunday

Sunday...
Always hard to get to sleep when
Weird noises are implying threats
On cold sheets I sweat
On any other day
It's all rest and flowers
And a long night of nothing
In the morning some coffee
'Cause when the sun goes
Down you close your eyes and think
That you might wake in the same place


I'm out of my head
That was what they said
There was no way I would
Ever trust again
There's something that fills you up
And it feels you up and then
It takes control of your better sense
There ain't no control of things
You take for granted
But they came and they
Held me up and they felt me up
And left...I miss them


Take me to your world
I want to know if I belong
There instead of here
Is there religion?
It is unordinary
To want this affection
But I don't have a real friend
And I hate my whole family
But from my bed, my window's
Lit by a red light
I have seen before, while floating away

Up

Three Days Old

The poetry of this hangover
I don't want to think, not
Too hard anyway
The scenery and fish, they're bad
Take another breath, another look and swallow
Holding the hand of hard times
And fallout
It could be worse...my star could fall


Pacified by little things
Tones of beige and green seem
To halt a scream in waiting
All red eyes, all heads thinking
No one says anything I can
Hear down here on the floor
Where I belong


Too young to find the horses
Too young fighting causes
I get overwhelmed
And I feel three days old


Another day goes and fails
The people lose control just 'cause
Things are going slow
Your corduroy coat has left you
Just when you're feeling the wind
And cold
Then comes a rain of old thoughts
That always have to wreck my high
And bring me down


You and I are not the same
You like everything
Arms wave in a spin, blown by
Things I've hated, I've faded to the point
Where I'm not all there
Curled up on the floor
Where I belong

Up

Used To Be Alright

It's pretty good, the wine
The way that we look at
Ten to eight in the morning
Just talking, still awake in
Dawn and dew drinking, thinking
Always...


Remembering the laughs, the time
We got high for seven days down
In New Orleans and it seemed like
No one else knew we were just
The moon and sun in fog before the
Heat burned it away and took
The sleep from tired heads on
Beds of reaching hands, of road trip
Breath and long tall freedom


And then you long
For the days of trippin' down
The long road just reading the
Signs that show you the way to
A higher place you meditate to
Feel the quiet of the earth
That was back
When we used to be alright


Another shame, the way
The city smells worse on
A hot day in August...2 PM
Right before us good movers
Move and us shakers break
Our hearts getting home to
Country love and the garbage
Dump by the dried up creek
Near the forest that once had life
And then I turn on the news
Somebody shoot me soon
I'm tired of over heating, falling
Quick to bending knees and
Broken veins, of always needing
Faith to get to shore and break
All the vows I've made


No time or presence
Of mind to wonder why
No time for questions of
Why I wonder why
Something's wrong...again
The noise shakes the ground
There's a rage in
The crowd and I'm a face
In the crowd, what's your name?
You're sinkin' in the sand
Standing next to me, a river
Running through your pants, afraid
To trust me when my hands
Are helping you

Up

Shortcut To Moncton

Between the doors, shakin' heads and thinking
Light about who you're with, where you are
Blue lightning hittin' trees and lighting
Roads won't let me get too down 'cause
Sometimes you can be let down


You move on ahead in quicksand
And you hope you're still goin' east boy
It's dreamy all day drives and short parades
And I won't let it mess with my head
Just grin and live it
While you can...with wonderment


With eyes wide open
I'm taking in all I can
The small town darkness
Is singing by
In trance...I'm feeling glad


You and your friends drink, laugh
And pass out, keeping good things close
Fought till the end, it's hard to keep it all fun
I won't let it mess with my head
Won't let it mess with
Sleeping friends or their wonderment


Though the day's been really long
I still feel I'm close to nowhere
And I wouldn't let no one take my place
A warm bed, in my head I can see
The tidal wave of disappointment
See the lights shining over there
Through the night I am on the way

Up

Pisser

Lost all my friends pulling down my
Pants just to say hi and I'm still
Alive without a tan, trippin', naked man,
Through the forest who like me
Has fallen right into a kind of grace
Drinking from a river of fine wine just
To ease my mind, then fell on through
The hole I've made looking for a center
In my life and just why I am


I woke in the grass fascinated with
Moving water and the smell of my breath
Rampaging ants carry me to death or a last
Chance and a swing for the fence, instead I
Hit the bottom hard and wide looking for
Escape from the daylight and the passing time
Digging just to find a way someone like me
Gets in the right line for the right ride


At just the right time, hoping it doesn't take
Too long to find a way...


And I hope there's a sign
I hope that it leads me well
On the way
I hope there's a sign
And I hope I can read it right
I'm running on, over and lower
It's slow going half the time
I hope there's a sign
And I hope I can read it right


It seems I've had a lifelong headcold full
Of negatives, mindwarps and eclipsing suns
Like hot air through my underwear while
Sitting in my chocolate chair at home...
It thrills me, turn the lights out and leave
Me alone

Up

Raspberry

Held in hands, a warm cup
Of skin always taken in by peers
And friends and the heightened fears
Over the years
Now I know I'm not like everyone


In this head I see the ground
You came from, unknown, undug
From where you were staying in
A backyard bed until
We came together


Raspberry, in my hand
You feel alright but I don't
Know if I am
I can't change
What I am right now, but
I'll be fine in the next life


I know I can say, I'm honest
With myself and with
My red tasty gem
And sure they will try, but
They can't take away
My secret loving friend


And on a good day, my mind
Is like the country...green wide open
A breath of zen that's nice
On the eyes, lonely, without a prayer


Take the trip that I have
I am at risk
But I guess you know...


Explosions
From the goldfish bowl
Visions
Of blue girls crying stars
The more the garden sings
The harder it gets to stay in
There are a lot of choices
So many voices ruling me
So many of them at once
Yelling, "Everything's a mess"...I know

Up

Songburst & Delirium

Wide awake in the candlelight
Stoned straight, crashing
Ocean wave patterns and sunset
In their prime
Shoulder demons tell me
How to lie when it matters
And you better hope
That you see it coming


Painted grey and blurry
I am waiting for the sock to drop
Yes I can fake it, hide, run away
When there's nothing left to know...nothing


Lonely like a living room
Hallway noises and interviews
Squeeze the globe in between
Your legs and hope God knows
When to show his face when it matters
And you better hope
That you're feeling something


Pained by the worry
I am stained by the learning
Of what I can't feel, see, think, undo
I'm going to Mexico where there's
Nothing but the sun...nothing


The four walls entertaining
Me are symbols of my contentment
Of mental and legal poverty
Nine out of ten can't be wrong
I have never learned
The secret of velocity
As I expand I feel small
I have nothing left
That I can draw from
I have nothing left...nothing

Up

Sense of Henry

There they are
Alive, on the move, pretty young,
Still unproven though they love
Restless young zeroes in a haze
Of reckless blind faith taking their
Own sweet time to write and rhyme
Their ending


Are you happy when we're down
Hey I was gonna ask you that
Just now and yes I am,
Yes, I can dig true meaning from
Your believing and feel alright


They'll drift and flow
And take their chances
All white humming flesh and bone
In souls they don't own
How can they not know it ain't
Good being old with nothing
Left to show
But they have each other


There might be a goodbye him to her
When time becomes their leveller...and it will
Ecstatic young searchers who've come
To love just what they are
And what they may become...or whatever
The magic in chaotic scenes
In the sun and the music in
The whine and stink, the uneven
Sounds of summer
Fabulous bad memories, but there's
Something alright about having these together


Too young lives of sleep,
Of violence and love alive
In astral days soon lost
In the rush
If there's a better way
It's alright...they're okay


They're not afraid they'll fade away
Another wasted unfortunate end
Another violent sky overhead
Another sundown burning red
And it's going down hard...like them

Up

Earth, Sky, & C.

Given good ground to walk around on
It would mean so much to me to see
Things for my still young self or else
I might not believe whatever people
Say in their own ways, colourful faces
And easy going shame almost telling me
Things I need to know
We're travelling, looking for the world
Thinking in different words


I'm not leaving you
No way friend, you'd ever last
Yo no voye
Sweet earth boy
You'll have to think and wait


Given wide skies to search and fly
It would sure seem to me that it's so
Full of everything, either seen or unseen
Endless night displays, cosmic death rays
That hold your feet in place while
Your mind runs away
What I didn't know is that no one's going
This old bus sits while jungles laugh and sing
Nobody filled me in


Carlos, gracias por ser nuestro pez favorito.

Love Your Starfish

To hesitate, to reel and stutter
In a free fall
To eat your grapes and slow the runner
You just need calm


Don't let me
Down
I'm already
Down


Like a rubber band pulled
Between two hands in a slow
Defiance of when it might break
Then someone laughs, all left feet
And charging rhinos... unfunny
But I know
No one here needs
Your kind of redemption


You came in waves and tired
Of all this celebration
You milked the tree, fed the starfish and said
All is calm


You must get
Down
I'm already
Down


With the whole event
Held within your head like
Old valentines, just when do you
Start to fake a love
For jazz and blue green oranges...
It's so Hieronymus I know
No one here needs
Your kind of redemption


How shallow ponds with the growth
Of decades carry on
I'll never know


On the whole, I can dig
The world's offerings
And with the yes parade on hold
It did not lessen me when it
Was said to me with the elegance
Of daybreak that wherever you go
You take your pride,
Wherever you go, there you are
That was the birthplace of almost
Everything bold, poetic and stoned...

Up

All Awake

Look for me to climb fallen trees in yellow summer
Look for me in wide falling fields of bohemia
All awake
With a heavy hand holding me down I stay
All awake
In the only fear of failing hall of fame
We're all awake


Under the weight
Eleven ways
Why you never fall to pieces
You can't carry
We're all awake
And looking for ways
To save your self-love


Looking to define masturbation using colour
Looking for a ride to a place where
Everyone was friends
All awake
With an energy, a hustle and a fade
All awake
In the hell of free electric salad days
We were all awake

Up

Gargantua

Though the sign says
"Monterey: Forty light years from
Right here," we'll go anyway
Got a head start on the clouds
As the view, dream-like, rolls away.
While every song you hate
Is playing in your head softly
A loving sound


Now the quiet never stays
Porcelain Elvis heads and gamma rays Keeping me awake with this
Fine knit elastic crowd, stretching out
Living new age golden days
But when I think out loud
My stupid little voice gets lost


Fascination, overkill and sensation
Whole and violent
When you're high you might touch down
In gardens of Gargantua
When all the world is spinning
Say hello to him from all of us
When all is all undone and sung
Without a sound


Over the always
Nobody elevates hoping for enlightening voices
Out of nowhere
Fastened tight crashing light into walls
If you look around at all you might
Feel small where the soul lives
Where the whole thing is going down


Every now and then I fall out
Into open air just to feel the wind,
Rain and everything


And though the hum and sway gets me down
I'll find the way to peace and openness
But when I think out loud
My stupid little voice gets lost
In fact I'm waiting
For everyone to shut up

Up

When Did You Get Back From Mars?

We never thought that you were
Gone until we turned the lights on and spoke
To your god
But he ain't saying nothing, except for
Some thing about your life going to waste
In more ways than one
I never liked him anyway


You push it most days
When you're young and then one day
You grow up and everyone's wrong
They can't teach you nothing
They give you nothing
So you get thinking maybe
There's a phase where everyone
Floats south in never ending lemonade


Inside of myself, daylight is almost
Waking up slow and wondering
How sometimes it isn't always
Good here
What made you go
And when did you get back
From Mars?


You circled 'round odd fallen stars
And reached out
For the lightening until your were stung
Until there was a nice ring, the only right thing
So you get thinking
Maybe in a way I'll never know for sure
The full sad of everyone


And hey, is there anyone known
Who gets along just great
With everyone
On all the days

Up

Summertime in the Void

I felt the break and the roll of the nexus
On a day when the whole world elected
To sell us out
These are the hands that grab my attention
When all is what I'm giving
They slow me down
Slower than southern muddy rivers


When you think there's salvation
When you don't want to leave
Your room with eyes open, undreaming
When it's summertime in the void


When it's summertime in the void
The sun is upside down
And facing the other way until days end
With a schizophrenic everjoy
And with a sense of doubt
You wait automatic and afraid


On ran the train through my solar plexus
On the day I made good connection
With love out loud, home, hate and sound
And who wrote the words to my death sentence
When life is what I'm living
And leaving now
While I trip 'till time is over


When it's summertime in the void
And the stars yell out your name
All together and insane
'Cause they're broken words they are a noise
There's no answer for
You wait automatic and afraid

Up

Good for Sule

The father's torment
The one son
It falls on across warm, deep
Oceans of moments and the man
He must become


A whole world away
Eighteen brothers holding out while
The tree of importance waits
But close and safe
Wife and daughters hear no drums
Or the voices of those he'll change


And if it feels good
They must understand that the way
Had opened to just a man
With a faith in all good
People walking gently, knowing
Just how wonderful it is


Of the family portrait
And a path unchosen
Both the roaring lions of emotion
He knew one day would
Have to come


While a whole world away
His old home is reaching out with
The hands of enraptured hope
But more than that
They hold up
The one they want to the sun
He's the only one


..... Good for you Sule

Up

Cloud Pump

I could settle down then take it
Slow, just do the right thing and gain
Twenty pounds before next spring when
Senses are dull and I hear
The rain will fall
For sure that would be something soulful


Get it straight, get it right today
Hesitate or just carry on
Slow with wonder


A little low on godspeed
I didn't know your wet dream made
A sound like an old corvette
Exploding, turning you on while burning
A brown hole in everyone's lightness


Get back underground
When the water gets cold
The pushing around never saved
Your soul
Get back underground
When the fight gets old
So get it on and under


With a little help and hope
As your rope, jump for the high seat
And fall super gone
Into the whiteness with your strength
All gone and your crucifix on wrong
They'll tear you down to nothing
Yell it!


Tell it straight, tell me not to fade
Or to break though it's heavy
I might just wonder


Why did a nova burst here
And what does an elephant feel
In the sun with a red umbrella
Something is bringing him down
Asleep in the mudhole of everyone's
Conscience


It's coming around quiet and slow
It's coming around
All sweet and heavy like a world
Unfolding fast
Like a walk in the people's forest
Singing we're all on automatic
In a good way


You turned it on
You turned it upside down

Up

Blacksox

I'm afraid of a sure thing
Of a change in the here and now
And the force when it hits me
The full weight of it when
I'm down


The fucking air in this
City when the phase-shifting sign
Is off
If this ship is unsteady, how will
That lifeboat hold us all


I ain't gonna crawl


Tell them all to forget it
Tell them that's it
Then call it off 'cause I'm worried about
Money and paradigm stores
Running low


I ain't gonna crawl
But I'll lie on the road


So how can I laugh
How can I take it without
Some doubt
How can I laugh
How can I face it right away
With everything gone wrong
With everything all over anyway
I need some grace


Say goodbye to aesthetic, better taste
And essential self 'cause I'm just
Tired of running and there's a time bomb
In this head
So just who's the real killer
And what made his paint dry?
It's kind of hard to imagine
Holidays in Neurotica


A slap in the faith, hard, opened hand is
The one reality I can never protect
Myself from, even in
This sparkle yard at end of day warm
Summer madness in the bouquet
Of a dream-song, astral projecting, failing to right
Wrongs when the whole thing starts
To open up


I ain't gonna crawl
Without falling hard, without some pain


Whenever the fog breaks and a day
Takes hold I just can't think straight
Right away
Maybe I'll come around... or not
I'm swinging again and all my ex-friends
Say it's psycho-pathetic and way
Too gone, almost painless even though
I wondered if something was wrong
All along

Up

Autumn on Drugs

A worn out old suitcase
So what if it's broken, hopeless
A little odd in a splash
Of autumn on drugs
Holding all weight for me
The weight of me
And I need it like a friend needs me
For a friend


I can feel the time is right
To find the legs to deal
With this alone
So I'll turn around to all
And wave the California wave


Sometime let's forget all about
Forced hands, big heads and little things
No one showed a trust 'cause
No one had faith in me
And I see it like
The sun sees me through
The day


A lo-fi vanilla secret spoken
By a friend who'll miss me
If I'm leaving... who'll want to find me

Up

Infinity Machine

A sudden stop
And then I woke up with vertigo
In the wrong place
Everybody back home laughing
There goes one more throw away... always alone


I imagine when they turned it on
They said farewell


When I said
I'd volunteer, I thought it might be
A good thing to enlighten
In a time-bend away from warm bed,
Homeless, hoping and up


I imagine when they turned it on
They forgot to warn me there's no
Comedown
When you're on your own


Looking for changes
While the fate swing loses control
While your head spins you can't
See it coming
While you fall into your calling
One man alone
Infinity machine


Hold my head, hold my hand,
Hold my breath and now...


Always running from the sun
Always a need for recovery
Never happy in a stand still
Never listened to bullshit... broken or whole

Up

My Beautiful Deep End

You held out and hurt yourself
Yet again
Did I not make it clear
To look around my selfish queer
With unlit eyes and average dope
You're in the dream room all alone


I have seen you before, holding out
Here in the deep end
My beautiful deep end
With all and odd


You yell out and touch the sound
So overwhelmed by simple things you tend to fear
The time is now for ease and thought
To come around and let you know
You're in the dream room letting go


Wake up and drown
Don't swim, breath or float away
I'm sorry but I might have made it sweet
In the gold drunken sunset
Where we'd lose our heads another time
Or close our eyes just right and try
To imagine we're miles away at peace
Out in the open


To precious hands
Holding tongues hard
Maybe one good word
Would tell us something
Whole and smal

Up
