Marigold Something
Marigold Something
I was just wondering
How was I worthy of you anyway
I'd paint a nice picture
Your thoughts were a mixture
And I never learned your real name
And you left as fast as you came
I was just wondering
Marigold Something
What came between us on that fateful day
You'd never leak it
And kept it a secret
Maybe you couldn't explain
I'll keep on guessing, okay

Mrs. Sneed
We're all just part of the past, Mrs. Sneed
We carry baggage we don't even need
We're all just part of the past, Mrs. Sneed
We'll fade away after no one believes
We don't need erasing
We don't need complacence
On matters so close to our home
We've awkward opinions
We're trounced by the minions
And scattered among every race
We're all just part of the past, Mrs Sneed
We carry baggage we don't even need
We're all just part of the past, Mrs Sneed
We'll fade away after no one believes
We've screamed from the pulpits
We've chased down the culprits
That shattered the Murican dream
We've scolded all brains for the thoughts they contain
But no matter
No sin's gone to waste
We're all just part of the past, Mrs Sneed
We carry baggage we don't even need
We're all just part of the past, Mrs Sneed
We'll fade away after no one believes
Back when we burst on the scene
We were so eager to please
It was just a machine and it's done with its need
Saying please close the door when you leave
Please close the door when you leave
I share all your questions
And have no suggestions
The rafters overflow with disdain
We're all just part of the past, Mrs Sneed
We carry baggage we don't even need
We're all just part of the past, Mrs Sneed
We'll fade away after no one believes at all

Holding Back And Up
02:34
|

Holding Back And Up
Keeping thoughts inside of my head
Or you better play dead
Clean living instead
Monstrous dreams then you wouldn't believe
Like a snow without sled
You better paint it all read
Breaking out or breaking in
It's how your mind receives it
Molded steel and worried sea
Can't you take me back to sleep
Sliding back as you shift into power
And a well oiled machine
Are you still in a dream
Music blasts and the engine comptetes
Now you feel so complete
Slow motion instead
Keeping up or keeping out
It's how you dare to dream it
Holding fast or holding on
Can't you take me back to sleep
Only I know where I go and hide to
(Somewhere I can hide)
Oceans sigh as people fly right by you
(Flying people right)
Backing up or backing down
As motion swirls around us
Won't you shake my memory
Where can it be
(Where can it be, where can it be)
Driving rain won't keep me away
While you're lying in bed
Watching life in my head
Tired boot with a foot full of lead
What your mother just said
You better wake up instead
Keeping up or keeping out
It's how you dare to dream it
Holding back or holding down
Can't you take me back to sleep

Making Her Music Louder

Making Her Music Louder
Writing her name, dreaming of fame
Nothing's the same inside her
Chewing her gum, hoping for someone
Scribbled across her binder
Cool in her hat, trendy at that
Everyone knows about her
Digging her day and having her way
And making her music louder
Taunting with shame, suffering blame
Learning to be a fighter
Delicate touch, loving too much
Always comes back to bite her
Proper and clean, pencil and dream
Turning the trends and that's her revenge
And making her music louder

Xenophobia
03:53
|

Xenophobia
Someone's only chasing their tale
Acting as authorities on a mission
Where copious insanity fails transition
And anybody left is only mulling it over
Yeah
Fields of a neurosis in bloom
Apparently they're never quite out of season
And tantamount to spelling the doom it feeds on
And anybody left is only mulling it over
Xenophobia - look out it's gonna own ya
Xenophobia - never gets to know ya
While preying on susceptible brains
Grabbing for the bait and the line and sinker
Whose only sin is being a Kool Aid drinker
And anybody left will have to die for the pleasure
Xenophobia - watch out, they're gonna stone ya
Xenophobia - nobody lonelier
Xenophobia - right there in your home, yeah
Xenophobia - somebody's gonna label you bad
I never dreamed you'd stay so long
I thought that you belonged to the here and gone
I never dreamed that you would stay so long
Oh no, I thought that you belonged
I thought that you belonged
You couldn't make it up if you tried
The reasoning can run like a roller coaster
To make you feel like you're on a wanted poster
You turn around and find that you've waited forever
Can't wait forever
And when you make it home tonight
You're gonna be spinning your tail
Xenophobia - watch out, they're gonna stone ya
Xenophobia - nobody lonelier
Xenophobia - right there in your home, yeah
Xenophobia - somebody's gonna label you bad
I never dreamed you'd stay so long
I thought that you belonged to the here and gone
I never dreamed that you would stay so long
Oh no, I thought that you belonged
I thought that you belonged
I never knew that you would stay so long
I thought that you belonged
I thought that you belonged

Dangerman
Call of the wild
To nobody's child of nature
Mustn't let go if you're caught in his throes
You fainter
Dangerman, nightime's stranger
Getting you is part of the plan
Then out of range he'll fly
Listening to your
whispering campaign about him
You know he'll behave every which way that he's painted
Dangerman, puppet master
Knock on any wood that you should
Then out of range he'll fly
Call of the wild
To nobody's child of nature
Mustn't let go if you're caught in his throes
You fainter
Dangerman, nightime's stranger
Getting you is part of the plan
Then out of range he'll fly
Listening to your
whispering campaign about him
You know he'll behave every which way that he's painted
Dangerman, rocket ranger
Knock on any wood that you can
Then out of range he'll fly

Trip Into Darkness

Trip Into Darkness
I'm no educated scientist
But I would say that it seems a bit strange to me
When the moon was clouded over
A gentle rain fell on the valley
A washing rain
A taking away rain
These tall figures standing in front of the fire knelt down
Without a thought
Without a care
And on cue a shooting star flew across the sky
And he remarked
It was probably the first shooting star I've actually ever really seen
They were amazed
They noticed time stopped
And I look up in the sky at the moon
The moon is full and bright
Brighter than it could ever be
No chance circumstance
No regard, second glance
Untold thoughts implode
Aphrodisia a la mode with this
One trip into darkness
Just a few steps away and close the door
One night of love
Temptation too great and well worth not waiting for
I know water flows
Out from your eyes onto your clothes
Old wounds no one knows
Leave behind, whatever goes
One trip into darkness
Just a few steps away and close the door
One night of love
Temptation too great and well worth not waiting for
One slip into madness
Before we even realize we're already there
Yeah
One trip into darkness
Just a few steps away, I'll take you there
C'mon now
One night of love
One trip into madness
I'll take you there
I know
I know water falls from your eyes onto your clothes

Glad To Meet You, Bob

So Glad To Meet You, Bob
So glad to meet you, Bob
Would you like a hit or some wine
Turn up the hi-fi loud
And take the comfy chair that reclines
We've pulled out all the stops
So you don't feel a need to move on
Welcome to where you'll forever belong
Wild flowers for Mrs Bob
Hope she finds all in order and right
We modeled true decor specifications
From reading your minds
Count on your every wish
Just as long as you keep within bounds
So glad to meet you and show you around
It only hurts if you cry
So glad to meet you, Bob
You'll have plenty of fish on the line
You'll find the bar's been stocked
Every brand in a lifetime supply
You'll be assigned a job
Hope you like being chained to your friends
So glad to know you're not leaving again

Queen V
03:45
|

Queen V
When you're tired and out of your head
And you hear, but listening not instead
Striving long to keep it in check
Ready go, just a tiny misplaced speck (spectacle)
And if you looked inside you'd see
You'll always be there, Queen V
With his arms wrapped around you in peace
Seeing love in what you have leased
God in case they don't understand
Believe in light even though you can
You see it's really not so strange
To shift the clouds that bring us rain
Love fleeting
Love screaming
Love really
Making noise with wood and six string
Believe in words from what's not seen
Sarge has left on his beat
Standing fast on his cold hard feet (of clay)
You'll always want me to be free
You'll always be there, Queen V
Love fleeting
Love screaming
Love really
And you stop and the time ticks free
And you drop as you bring the lead
And you climb as your fingers bleed
And you hope as you pull the reed
And you're out with the wind and trees
And you're the Queen and you'll always be
Queen V
You'll always be Queen V
(They said that you'll always be)
Queen V and you'll always be
Queen V
(when you look around you'll always be)
Queen V and you'll always be
Queen V
(I have read that you'll always be)
And you stop and the time ticks free
Queen V and you''ll always be
Queen V

This Is A Wrap
02:49
|

This Is A Wrap
This is a wrap and that is that
It's at the bottom of the stack
It's in a room inside a box stored in the back
It went too fast, it couldn't last
You sigh relief and I'm aghast
We had some laughs, but it is past and that is that
You're so cynical, tactical and clinical
Don't mean to be critical
But it ain't worth the cash
This is goodbye, I shouldn't cry
Or offer explanations why
This is a wrap and now I'm jumping off the ride
We took a turn and finally learned
Now it's no more our concern
This shit don't fly, it had to crash
Give it some gas
You're so radical bordering on fanatical
Prone to long sabbaticals from acting even practical
Dark, strong, intuitive
But too high on the cuckoo list
Truly unforgettable, but I'll give it a whack
This is a wrap
This is a wrap
This is a wrap
This is a wrap
This is a wrap and that's a fact
No other way to skin this cat
Now I can walk and you can say who gets to bat
We were tight and now we're loose
There's no apology or truce
No keeping ties
Let's just cut out, give it some juice
Mysterious and beautiful
As fun as a funeral
Soft and habitual and hard to go against your will
Dark, strong, intuitive
But too high on the cuckoo list
The final straw, you threw it in
And broke this camel's back
This is a wrap and that is that
It's at the bottom of the stack
It's in a room inside a box stored in the back
It made no sense, but I've been dense
No longer balanced on the fence
It's in the past and now I speak in present tense
This is a wrap
This is a wrap
This is a wrap....

Woman From No Return
04:59
|

Woman From No Return
I will awake with the bright sun
I will just gaze at the luminance of the dawn
And work away past the dying of the light
And hope I pray to right god tonight
Oh, Maria
How does one ever know the right things to say
Where's the book of the rules and particular page
No more chances today with the woman from no return
I only learn through hindsight
I can't confirm even now if I'm wrong or dumb...or both
Some say I may have blind folded eyes
Why can't I sway or come close to a compromise
Oh, Maria
I reject any claim by the masters of love
Any way it's conveyed, any thought off the cuff
See the flies in my brain as you're walking away
You say the situation's only cash
Some can live without it, others can't
I turn around and one more hope is dashed
There's nothing but forgiveness
I never can change the past
Woman from no return
I will awake with the bright sun
I will just gaze at the luminance of the dawn
Woman from no return
Maria
I suspect any claims by the masters of love
Any way it's conveyed, any thought off the cuff
throws a chill through my spine as you're walking away

Here In A Daydream
02:37

Here In A Daydream
Here comes a daydream
A moment put aside
To live a lifetime
You might have been denied
It was a pipe dream
And everybody tries to see
The writing in the sky has dotted i's
Here comes a cold wind
That seeps under the doors
It turns the tables
And eggs you on to war
It's just a fable
'Cause everybody runs although theirs is the only finger on the gun
And all the daydream saboteurs
Are in the wings to get you every time
Oh no, they don't mind
Then all those daydream adversaries peek around the corners if your mind
Ooh, yes they do
Here in a daydream
That only I can see
And so they tell me
I really should believe
It's not a fake dream
Though everybody tries
We somehow never ever quite see eye to eye

Wearing those marigold clothes

Many miles away
Wake me when it's over ( right)
What can I say, oh yeah yeah
September gray
Crying on my shoulder
Oh no, I've not forgot
You never think I'm someone that I'm really not
But when the wind's cold and the sun is hot
You never say it's something that it's really not
September gray, oh
Many miles away
Wake me when it's over
What can I say, oh
September gray
Crying on my shoulder
Play the blues
Oh no, I've not forgot
You never think I'm someone that I'm really not
But when the wind's cold and the sun is hot
You never say it's something that it's really not
Ooh, September gray
(Oh, horns)
Play the blues, Danny boy
So many miles
Once in a while
So many miles
Once in a while
Oh no, I've not forgot
You never think I'm someone that I'm really not
But when the wind's cold and the sun is hot
You never say it's something that it's really not
Oh, September gray, oh yeah
Many miles away
Wake me when it's over, yeah
What can I say, oh yeah yeah yeah
September gray
Crying on my shoulder
Hallelujah
Play the blues, Danny boy
Play the blues now
Put your money in
Put your money in the cup

Miracles Come (Once In A While)
After all the misfires at the start
A moment to sigh
Calms me through the lateness of the hours
Awake and moon dried
Ooh, my darlin'
All you're bringing to the table
Has overflowed beyond any doubt
You're living proof
Miracles come once in a while
Happens in so many years
So many miles
The customary cost of yanking chains
Is virtue denied
Talking with or running into walls
The need was implied
Ooh, my darlin'
Takes a petty situation
And turns It over
Pointing out very clearly the truth
That miracles come once in a while
I can't be constantly wrong all of the time
Patronizing pricks the fingered fate
The jokester replied
The catterwhallin cats of yesterday
Are moaning outside
Ooh, darlin'
It doesn't really take a train car
To run me over
Before you see a major changed attitude
Miracles come once in a while
Once in a while
So many miles
So many miles
Once in a while

Segue Dream Sequence
03:55
|

Segue Dream Sequence
Time measures caution in size
And the sequence inside me
Shows where to run and hide
You won't stop me from awakening
And I try to shake you from my dreams
It's not what you believe
Won't you just see
Keep me safe from weather or not
You're there all wrapped in my hands
Like a tangly string
Like a motion so deep behind
You like a bird on high
Reach for the sky in black wings
Nether winds cry
Caution brings a feather
Lasso taught with leather and me
Binding branches from trees
Like it's hopelessly real
Like a motion so deep behind
Who knows where clouds are going
Who knows where clouds are going
What's on their minds today
Oh look, they want to say
Who knows where clouds are going
Who knows where clouds are going wrong
I won't be your friend
I'll be deeper than that
Deeper than that
Like a motion so deep behind
I wanna climb so high
Reach or the in black wings
Nether winds cry
Caution brings a feather
And you'll see you let her inside
Like an ocean side
Like a motion so deep you'll see the sun does shine

Strange Imagination
03:38
|

Strange Imagination
Paralyzed from knowing all the answers
Terrorizing those that ridicule
Stepping like a calculating dancer
Spotlight with no rival looking way too cool for school
Scrutinized for conduct unbecoming
Recognized for breaking every rule
Loved and feared by anyone attending
No one can deny somebody way too cool for school
Strange imagination always running wild
Strange imagination ever since a child
Analyzed like rats from the beginning
Catechized beyond the point of cruel
Blind as any bat and sore from squinting
The one key to survival being way to cool for school
Strange imagination always running wild
Strange imagination ever since a child
Strange hallucinations ever since a child

Under The City Lights
Scattered pairs in the evening glare
And they circle by in the open square
And only two aren't in black and white
They're a work of art
Bodies intercepting light
Nothing new as it's always been
When you see the truth from the outside in
As eventide throws its weight around
Traffic signals know they'll be flashing all night long
But tonight
Under the city lights
We're both here sitting feeling alright
Under the city lights
Both of us feeling pretty alright
Metal trees and cement grass
Blowing plastic leaves around the brick and glass
And only two are not scenery
Everything they do is always meant to be
And tonight
Under the city lights
We're both here sitting feeling alright
Under the city lights
Both of us feeling pretty alright
And if you're hearing voices, I'll be there
And if you're hearing screams, don't be scared
'Cause tonight
Under the city lights
Nobody's getting on the inside
Under the city lights
Both of us feeling pretty alright

Don't Ask Me Where Or When
Symbolize, modernize, idolize, and modify
It all comes back again
It all comes 'round again
Copper drains, window panes, waterways and aeroplanes
And I'll return again
Don't ask me where or when
Everything is shifting some
Somehow all remains in bounds
And to them we're cast as one
And to us they're upsidedown
We were so close
Now it's the same way everywhere you care to go
'Cause they synthesize, hypnotize, supersize, and expedite
It all comes back again
It all comes 'round again
Balls of string, cycled dreams, whipping cream and laser beams
And I'll return again
Don't ask me where or when
They declare no war's been one
Yet we're not so safe and sound
Very glad they've had some fun
You and I just look around
And we both know
They can go way down lower than we want to know
When they fill your eyes, advertise, synchronize, and realize
It all comes back again
It all comes 'round again
Iron bars, bumper cars, big guitars, and desert flowers
And I'll return again
Don't ask me where or when
We were so close
it's the same way everywhere you care to go
When tomorrow's been and gone
Who'll be left with more than none
They may want us underground
Just because they're seeking sun
And we both know
It's just the same way everywhere you care to go
When they symbolize, modernize, idolize, and modify
It all comes back again
It ask comes 'round again
Iron bars, bumper cars, big guitars, and desert flowers
And I'll return again
Don't ask me where or when

Eye To Eye
Lead me to the game
Sacrificial lame
Show me 'round the rot from whence you came
Throw me to the room
All your gloom my doom
String me 'long for days, but do it soon
Throw me to the breeze
On my hands your knees
Nothing makes a burst like my balloon
I'm looking at you (yeah I'm looking at you)
Can you look at me now
Someone casting shadows of a doubt
And just as Mother Earth herself sometimes can't bear the mountains
Everybody cries
Yet somehow never quite see eye to eye
Wreck me like a train
Color me with blame
All the scapegoats graze on your terrain
Cast me to the wind
Let me twirl and spin
Prove you'd like to off your companion
I'm looking at you (yeah I'm looking at you)
Can you look at me now
Someone casting shadows of a doubt
And just as Mother Earth herself sometimes can't bear the mountains
Everybody cries
Yet somehow never quite see eye to eye

Compromise
Can we get together and compromise
Why would just one have to carry it all
While there's no right, only less of a wrong
And you know how sorrow goes from one heart to another
I can see your side
Can't we make a compromise
Can't we work it out just once or twice
Calm minds will surely prevail in the end
But how many minds will it take to know when
And I know your love goes strictly by the numbers
Likely justified
Can't we make a compromise
Can't we get together just once or twice
I'm a tree in the wind
I'm quite easy to bend
Im your flexible mate
Who looks out for your sake
And you'll hear my view without laughing aloud
And I'll try to know what you're talking about
And if some days blue appears much more than any color
I will see your side
And we'll make a comprise
And we'll get together just once or twice
Compromise
And we'll get together and compromise

Talking To A Wall
Feels like I'm talking to a wall
No point in saying much at all
You can call it heresy
If you're deep in certainty
You think you have more on the ball
You feel I'm naive to a fault
Without a point that's worth its salt
You can quote from prophecy
You can roll your eyes at me
It don't make any sense at all
Feels like I'm talking to a wall
And I should beckon to your call
You are so grand and I'm so small
Would you call for accuracy
When you're speaking down to me
Some people really have the gall
Feels like I'm talking to a wall
Why you hide behind the guise of an angry man
I believe there's a pussycat inside
Don't you know that everybody cries
Feels like I'm talking to a wall
No point in saying much at all
You can call it heresy
If you're deep in certainty
You think you have more on the ball
You feel I'm naive to a fault
Without a point that's worth its salt
You can quote from prophecy
You can roll your eyes at me
It don't make any sense at all
Have you ever tried to see
Have you tried psychiatry
Feels like I'm talking to a wall

The Sweet Side
How'd you get to be so wise
How'd I ever come to find you
Where'd you learn to smell so nice
Why am I someone you're kind to
How'd they never warp your mind
How'd I ever live without you
How'd you ever get to be so wise
I've been told the beautiful go
So high I don't want to know
So far I could never go
Distant's the road constructed with gold
So bright that it doesn't show
The side that I'll never know
The sweet side
How'd you get to be so smooth
Why do I need so to touch you
What of you could be improved
Who'd have thought I'd simply trust you
Why are you in perfect tune
Why do I love every movement
How'd you ever get to be so smooth
I've tried before
But it's right on the door
So high you don't want to know
So far you could never go
Impossible road all shiny with gold
So bright that it will not show
The life that you cannot know
The sweet side

Water Safe To Drink
I don't know much about the sun
I know it keeps the night from lasting way too long
I never quite get to the bottom
I only miss it when it's gone
And even breathing can remind
There isn't much about the air that comes to mind
Except it's thicker at the bottom
Then every breath becomes a sigh
Still I know the water sets us free
Little children, the water's safe to drink
And I know this time
When all is said and done there will be water
I heard there's heaven in the sky
I think it's poetry, the author can't decide
Until he signs it at the bottom
And changes everybody's lives
Yeah, still I know the water sets us free
Little children, the water's safe to drink
And I know this time
When all is said and done there will be water
I don't know much about the sun
It keeps me warm at night and then it travels on
And if it leaves me at the bottom
I hope you miss me when I'm gone
Ooh, still I know the water sets us free
Little children, the water's safe to drink
And I know this time
When all is said and done there will be water
Yes, I know the water sets us free
Little children, the water's safe to drink
And I know this time
When all is said and done there will be water

So Far Away From The Sun
So far away from the sun
When I think of the past
I remember how fast it was over
A second ago, oh
Where are you now
All that I wanted was someone to talk it all over
But where did you go
Oh, I'm alone
They slip you the tongue
Then suddenly treat you like pond scum
(Pond scum)
They want all your love
You can't give enough to the wrong ones
(Wrong ones)
They'll tell you you're great
Then ply you with hatred when they're done
So far away from the sun
(So far away from the sun)
So far away from the sun
When I think of the past
I remember how fast it was over
Just a second ago, oh
Where are you now
All that I wanted was someone to talk it all over
But where did you go
Oh, I'm alone
They're quick with a smile
And open denial that they loathe you
And living as proof
You'd best never do what they told you
They'll throw a parade
To slander your name just like they're
So far away from the sun
(So far away from the sun)
So far away from the sun
When I think of the past
I remember how fast it was over
Just a second ago, oh
Where are you now
All that I wanted was someone to talk it all over
But where did you go
Oh, I'm alone
They slip you the tongue
Then suddenly treat you like pond scum
(Pond scum)
They want all your love
You can't give enough to the wrong ones
(Wrong ones)
They'll tell you you're great
Then ply you with hatred when they're done
Oh, I've not forgot
You never think I'm someone that I'm really not
When the wind's cold and the sun is hot
You never say it's something that it's really not
Oh no
You never think I'm someone that I'm really not
When the wind's cold and the sun is hot
You never say it's something that it's really not
Oh no
