Celebration
02:48

Celebration’s not too far from here;
Trumpet, tambourine and open ears.
Guess it’s not too late to join their hymn.
Sweet salvation for the kid within.
My old friend with wings.
Within I know that the night is open
For some new high to make me sing.
Within I know that my spirit is hoping
To feel ecstatic when the voices dim
Electric when new day begins.
Blue-haired Bobby belts a song by Queen
while sweet Celine serves up her sizzling cuisine
I’m glad I found myself a cozy spot
Right beside the cat named Mrs. Plotte
My it sleeps a lot.
A lot of times when I’m feeling expired
I miss the flames of a musical crowd
To heat me up like a ritual fire
And send me risin’ through the infinite clouds
I close my eyes and feel the melody’s shroud.
(Bridge)
Now and then I live a liftin’ flight
And greet the gods above the urban blight
My merry moments as a musical child
Keep me facing fall, embracing the wild
With a warm inward smile
I’ll sing for a while
And blend in my style.

This Old World
02:25
|
|||
|
This old world keeps on turning
And I’m part of it for a while
The misfit in me keeps on yearning
And I face the sky like a child.
I don’t know where the winds do blow
But I’m a witness to the dying green
I don’t know where the seasons go
But they’re tearing up my faded jeans.
My old man he’s aging
And his spirits carrying a knife
He’s cutting out all the pages in
The Bible of Stable Life
I sense him feelin’ lighter and free
Uplifted by a winged dream
He’s never met me through my poetry
But he’s soaring through the solar beams.
No one knows how true love is born
But it cushions the fortunate fall.
A silent wish to feel forsaken no more
unveiled in a shopping mall.
See them teens in the music shop scene
Strumming and making a song
Hear them sing about their burning dreams
Descendants of romantic dawn.
This old world keeps on turning
And I’m part of it for a while
The misfit in me keeps on yearning
And I face the sky like a child.

Interplanetary Mary

Interplanetary Mary
Interplanetary fog
Interplanetary fairy
Very, very distant god.
Give me a reason to face disgrace with aum.
Give me a reason to kiss my pain and hum.
Interplanetary Mary
With interplanetary job
I’m feeling weak inside. I’m weary.
Anoint me with your stellar gob.
Give me a season to build a fortress home.
Give me a season to feel real love and moan.
Interplanetary Mary
Interplanetary Hope
Interplanetary Fairy
Offer me your twisted rope
Billions of us solitary
Clobbered in a clouded age.
Mama I don’t feel so merry
wounded in my mental cage.
I’m losing my will to believe in a thing called soul
I think I’ll just bow down my head and try to gently roll.
Interplanetary Mary
Interplanetary hope
Interplanetary Fairy
Offer me your twisted rope.

I’m sleepin’ on the edge of creation
Sleepin’ on the edge of crime
Sleepin’ with the boom box blarin’
Sleepin’ with my slippin mind
I’m waitin’ without weighin’
My chances in ethereal climb
Wavin’ without swayin’
Correctly to the ruling blind
I’m dreamin’ of a correlation
Between my station and the perfect scream
Dreamin’ of the bitter sensation
Of sickness in my beloved genes
I’m sailin’ without sayin’
Precisely what I’m hopin’ to see
Savin’ without slavin’
Just the basics and a portable tree
Just the basics and a portable tree
(Solo)
I’m cravin’ deeper inhalation
Kind of like the yogic sheep
Cravin’ transformation
But deliverance isn’t cheap
I’m fadin’ without flailin’
As the member of some inner retreat;
Fadin’ without failin’
Enraptured in a world of sleep
With just my basics and a portable tree;
Basics and a portable tree.

Out of None
03:48
|
|||
|
I feel a tension in my body.
I’d have a kid man but it’s dodgy.
The world we live in seems so out of control.
I’m sorry if that sounded jaded.
My 20th century blues has faded.
And I'm more graceful though I’m heavier souled.
Heavier souled.
I’m holding
Without knowing
What’s to come.
What’s to come.
And there’s hope
Making music out of none.
Out of none.
I hope I’m singing beyond 40
So I can face my way but sturdy.
I’m not excited by conventional life.
If there’s a reason for my living.
I pray good God that it’s not sinking
Sinking in a void of fears and lies
Fears and lies.
And I’m holding
Without knowing
What’s to come.
What’s to come.
And there’s hope
Making music out of none.
Out of none.
Yeah there's hope
making music
out of none
out of none
out of none
out of none
out of none.

More Alive
03:25
|

|
I haven’t shed a tear in years
I’m feeling dry
There’s something in my universe
I can’t reverse
A broken tie
I wish I could feel more alive
I’d love to be more than mind
It’s hard to never cross that line
I dream of a moment that’s more sublime
I haven’t raised a child. Its wild
The way things go.
I’ve lost that sense of giving life
Computer wife
You’re feeling cold
I wish we could feel more alive
I’d love to touch inside your mind
It’s hard to never cross that line
I dream of a moment that’s more sublime
I dream of a feeling that’s more divine.
Bridge: Oooooh
You haven’t earned a single thing
Said inner king
Until you begin
Begin by singing who you are
And what so far you’ve come to feel.

Starry Soul Girl
03:14

It’s such a drain to always give in
To your game
Starry soul girl.
All of us are making living
While you complain
About your poor world.
Every little drink counts
Every little smoke counts
Every single knock on my door
Every little please mounts
Every piece of one ounce
Every single night on my floor
I was okay to be listening to you
Just thinking I’d offer a break
Now I’m through believing that
My ears goodness can make
Every little shot counts
Every little hit counts
Every single bang on my door
Every little please mounts
Every piece of one ounce
Every single night on a floor
Hey. I’m gonna break away.
Done. I’m done. I’m done. I'm done. I am the one I blame.
Selfless love I couldn’t give you.
Starry soul girl, we’ve come to an end.
One last thing I’ll put my faith in -
The sharp sting when we split to ascend.
Every little drink count
Every little smoke count
Every single knock on my door
Every little please mount
Every piece of one ounce
evaporated out of my sore!

Nothing Lasts
03:16
|

|
Oh I know that we all disappear from
Disappear from this life
And yeah I know what all them with it people say:
“Live the moment! Love the ride!”
Man I swear that I would like to have no end
To just move forward and not come back
I’d love to break through the final bend
And just relax
Just relax
The world’s astounding
But nothing lasts
Beyond a moment
Beyond a flash
The present moment’s gone so fast!
Time for action.
The chances pass.
Boy, I think that we all have some kid inside
Deep there watching things unfold
I don’t know what instinct you’re enlivened by
But I don’t feel right being told
Told to hold up someone else’s cup of gold
And raise a cheer like Man I’m Sold
The city’s full of broken-hearted modern souls
Who bought false wisdom from the old.
Oh God.
The world’s astounding
But nothing lasts
Beyond a moment
Beyond a flash
The present moment’s gone so fast!
Time for action
The chances pass.

Adieu
03:47
|
|||
|
Face to face at the threshold
time to say what we both wanna to say
life has cast a new dice roll
maybe grace will come out of the gray
Everybody's their own witness
Everybody's danced a number in hell
Everybody needs forgiveness
to drink water from the life-giving well
I do
I do
I do need to step out of the blue.
I do
I do
I do need to say something to you.
Maybe we have been relying
on old times
to keep us aflame
babe there ain't no sense denying
that the faith has faded away
Love is not just sugarcane
to suck on whenever you're down
And it's more than hurricane
of passion to spin you around
I do
I do
I do is more profound
than us two
I do
I do
I do is not for us
me and you
Adieu

Time & Bones
03:54
|
|||
|
There are voices I remember
I hear them echo at the back of my mind
They talk of love in place of anger
And disappear in a slippery climb
They whisper life
is paradise
where sweetness lies
compassion shines
and anger dies
There are choices I have never
Understood but lived to finally regret
They point to blinding human weather
And make me sorry cause it’s hard to forget
They show me strife
Is part of life
And people kind
are not so kind
they kill and dine
I wish I could see heaven better
And charge my vision up with beautiful gleam
I’d love to move like drifting feather
And dance with time so lightly nothing would seem
Too sharp to hold
Too big a load
so rough a road
nowhere to go
just time and bones.
