there was a concentrated effort thru the misty pines
an island twenty yards outside my back door
there behind
a makeshift spaceship
that the elm tree planted years ago
the neighbours daughter
i spent many nites outside her door

n as the years roll by
the memories fade as well
the only semblance of my childhood here
was cut down with that elm

there was no summer spent inside
someday soon u'll know
there was a young girl on his mind
someday soon u'll know
there was a corner store
that used to be the district bank
someday soon it'll show
but now these days r gone
with all the parties
all the pranks


n as the seasons change
their colours follow suit
the riddles of my yesteryear
dont seem as mystical as moot

under the northern lites
the winter skies can hypnotize
some friends have gathered here
to seek out refuge from their lives

someday soon u'll know
someday soon it'll show
now theres a young man with a cynics sneer
n a dreamers eye
someday soon u'll know
who occupies his times with stimulations u can buy

n as the hours passed
we'd wander thru the nite
the wasted days we spent
...........................


the cutting elm-telepathic butterflies

i do what i does

 

[alasdair]

deaf dumb n blind boy hes in a quiet vibration land
strange as it seems his musical dreams aint quite so bad
10 years old with thoughts as bold as thoughts can be
luvin life n becoming wise in simplicity

sickness will surely take the mind
where minds cant usually go
come on the amazing journey
n learn all u should know

a haze of delirium creeps upon me
all at once a tall stranger i suddenly see
hes dressed in a silver sparkled glittering gown
n his beard flows nearly down to the ground

nuthin to say n nuthin to hear n nuthin to see
each sensation makes a note in my symphony

sickness will surely take the mind
where minds cant usually go
come on the amazing journey
n learn all u should know

his eyes r the eyes that transmit all he knows
sparkle warm crystaline glances to show
that he is ur leader he is ur guide
on the amazing journey together u'll ride


amazing journey/sparks-the who

unhappy girl

to swim in mystery

lets swim to the moon
uh huh
lets climb thu the tides
penetrate the evenin
that the city sleeps to hide
lets swim out tonite luv
its our turn to try
parked beside the ocean
on our
moonlite drive

lets swim to the moon
uh huh
lets climb thru the tide
surrender to the
waiting worlds
that lap against our side
nuthin left open
n no time to decide
we've stepped into a river
on our
moonlight drive

lets swim to the moon
lets climb thru the tides
u reach a hand to hold me
but i cant be ur guide
easy to love u
as i watch u glide
fallin thru wet forests
on our
moonlight drive

come on baby
gonna take a lil ride
go down by the ocean side
gonna get real close
get real tight
baby gonna drown tonite
goin down down down

moonlight drive-the doors

before i sink
into the big sleep
i want to hear

the scream of the butterfly

waitin around with our heads to the ground
i hear a very gentle sound
very near yet
very far
very soft yet
very clear
come today

what have they done to the earth?
what have they done to our fair sister?
ravaged n plundered n ripped her n bit her
stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn
n tied her with fences
n dragged her down

i hear a very gentle sound
with ur ear down to the ground
we want the world n we want it
now

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Cette fois, viens je t'emmène
Le soleil brillera pour nous deux

Good bye à mes vrais amis
En vérité je vous le dis

another trucker stumbles
up the steps
into my kiosk for directions
too wasted to see
the map im showing him
he wanted to bust the glass
cos i wouldnt give him gas
said u shouldnt be drivin
just take a nap until the morningtime
n hit the road
i wish i had a pistol
just to take him down with myself
what the hell!!
no one said this would be easy
but
no one said this would be hell

mom n dad r selfless
n they dont do nuthin worthless
just work all day n worry about their son
what went wrong with martin???
is he dumb??
i just pump gas every weekday nite
until the sun comes up like missiles
to my brain
u never said this would be hell

oh
with all the colours
in closed eyes
blue n black of veins
all bleed to one

come with me tonite
to say that this anything
is sayin much too much
lets go

i see the sun is bleeding
the morning time has come
its not that bad
oh no
no one said it would be king like
but no i said i could be had

self serve gas station-rheostatics

day after day
they send my friends away
to mansions cold n grey
to the far side of town
where the thin men stalk the streets
while the sane stay underground

day after day
they tell me i can go
they tell me i can blow
to the far side of town
where its pointless to be high
cos its such a long way down

so i told em that.....

i can fly
i will scream
i will break my arm
i will do me harm
here i stand
foot in hand
talkin to my wall
im not quite rite at all

am i??

dont set me free
im as heavy as can be
just my librium n me
n my est makes 3

cos id rather stay here
with all the madmen
then perish with the sad men roaming free
id rather play here
with all the madmen
for im quite content theyre all as sane as me

where can the horizon lie
when the nation hides its organic minds
in a cellar
dark n grim
they must be very dim

day after day
they take some brain away
then turn my face around
to the far side of town
n tell me that its real
then ask me how i feel

here i stand
foot in hand
talkin to my wall
im not quite rite at all

dont set me free
im as helpless as can be
my libido split on me
gimme some good ol lobotomy

cos i d rather stay here
with all the madmen
then perish with the sad men roaming free
n id rather play here
with all the madmen
for im quite content theyre all as sane as me

I said that I bet that you look good on the dancefloor
Dancing to electropop like a robot from 1984.

[shama_llama]

And I can't make it on my own (and I can't make it on my own)
Because my heart is in Ohio

So cut my wrists and black my eyes
So I can fall asleep tonight

[Theogonia]

Such a great song:

The hour of wreckoning draws near
Judgment day is here and gone
Sweetly she draws me into her arms
A liquid embrace to chase the day way.
Sedate Numb Deaf and Dumb
Stumbling into solitude.
A clouded judgment day is fueled.
Take me under your black wings
Mark my words and remember me.
So sweetly she shucks away at my time
So sweetly she draws me nigh
Closer and closer towards never ending sleep
Spin the bottle
Kiss only the bottle.
The dark mistress of many, beholden to none
Slips a ring of needles around your arm in an engagement
Eternal engagement
Never consummated.
Take me under your black wings
Mark my words and remember me.
Destroyer of senses.
So take as needed for the pain
Another gray morning dawns across an ashen sky.
My sweet demoness beckons me
Ever again and again and again and again.
The dark mistress of many, beholden to none
My sweet demoness beckons me
Ever again and again and again and again and again.
Take me under your black wings.
Jacked up on the taste of self-destruction.

[ThinkJesus]

Is that the stars in the sky, or is it
Rain fallin down
Will it burn me if I touch the sun
So big, so round

Would I be truthful, yeah, in,
Choosing you as the one for me?
Is this love baby,
or is it just confusion?

My mind is so messed up
Goin round and round
Must there be all the colours
Without names, without sound, baby?
My heart burns with feeling, but,
My mind, its cold and reeling
Is this love baby,
or is it confusion?

My head is poundin, poundin
Goin round and round and round and round
Must there always be these colours?
Without names, without sounds
My heart burns with feeling, but,
My mind, its cold and reeling
Is this love baby,
or is it just confusion?
You tell me baby, is this
Love or confusion?

Mama, we must get together and find out
exactly what were tryin to do

Love or confusion?
Confusion

 

[ThinkJesus]

I'm in love again
Been like this before
I'm in love again
This time's true I'm sure

Don't wanna end up like no nine day wonder
I've been hurt so many times before
So my darlin' I will never leave you
It's in my blood to always love you more
Love you more

It's my heart again
That drives me so wild
I just can't explain
Although I'm not a child

So why would I cry if you ever left me
Maybe 'cos you're all I'm livin' for
With every heartbeat I want you madly
It's in my blood to always love you more
Love you more

Oh my love again
What I say is true
Though it may sound plain
I love you

i cant do rite when all i wanna do is wrong
my conscience sounds aloud like the warning on a chinese gong
i know bout the punishment
i know bout the law
my sins cut deeper than the teeth on a saw
my attitude is bad n my nerves r raw
im a shotgun snake
im a jackal with claws
i was born with a chip on my shoulders on a stormy nite
awrite

my spirits rebellious
u tell us everythings ok
no way
my spirits rebellious
we wont do anything u say

its a hard hard world with a black corroded heart
theres a livin breathin devil tryin to tear my soul apart
in a cold cold grave on a dark dark nite
eternity is black i ll never see the lite
never listen to advice i was never that brite
couldnt walk away i was lookin to fite
i was born with a chip on my shoulder on a stormy nite
awrite

my spirits rebellious
u tell us everythings ok
no way
my spirits rebellious
we wont do anything u say
no way
my spirits rebellious
u tell us everything alrite
tonite
my spirits rebellious
all we gonna hear is
lies
lies
lies
lies

my spirits rebellious
spirits rebellious
spirits rebellious
spirits rebellious

 

[Silent Bob]

One Of My Turns
(Roger Waters)
Day after day, love turns gray
Like the skin on a dying man.
Night after night, we pretend it's all right
But I have grown older and
You have grown colder and
Nothing is very much fun any more.
And I can feel one of my turns coming on.
I feel cold as a razor blade,
Tight as a tourniquet,
Dry as a funeral drum.
Run to the bedroom,
In the suitcase on the left
You'll find my favorite ax.
Don't look so frightened
This is just a passing phase,
One of my bad days.
Would you like to watch TV?
Or get between the sheets?
Or contemplate the silent freeway?
Would you like something to eat?
Would you like to learn to fly?
Would 'ya?
Would you like to see me try?
Would you like to call the cops?
Do you think it's time I stopped?
Why are you running away?

 

[alasdair]

i was sittin in my room
dark n grey n cryin
someone in my life i feared
was at the point of dyin
a cold wind blew rite up my spine
it was the break of dawn
a lil voice way deep inside
told me she was gone

ohh
this house is haunted
ohh
thats how i want it to be
ohh
this house is haunted
u can always stay here with me

no more singin
no more laffin
no more sunny days
she left n took the colours with her
buried in her grave
this is where we climbed the tower
this is where she fell
then when her young heart stopped beating
i went to hell

ohhh
this house is haunted
ohh
ohh
ohh
this house is haunted
ohh
ohh

u float thru the livin room
i watch my tv
i feel u sit down on the couch
rite here next to me
then i feel ur lips touch mine
just like we used to do
im so happy all alone
bein here with u
