Posted on by admin

LYRICS
How much despair do you have in there
It’s really not clear from here
As we’re speaking
Is your roof leaking?
Are you aware
We care?

Still not knowing
Where you’re going
Will you survive
Being alive
Whether we try
We all will die
Friend, why not stay till The End

How much repair do you have to bear
It’s really not clear from here
As we’re speaking
Is your roof leaking?
Are you aware
We care?

Understand I’ll hold your hand
There is nothing you need fear
It’s really not clear from here
As we’re speaking
Is your roof leaking?
Are you aware
We care?

LYRICS
Going to be late
If it’s half past ate
’cause when we get to nin [Yiddish]
We’ve got no mo’ time
I’m running late
Past my postdate
Thunder clouds
Are rollin’ in
Wonder when
It’s gonna begin
Produce Zeus
Throwing thunderbolts
Useless knowing
God’s children revolt

LYRICS
If the Earth is flat
How long would that be
From end to The End
How long would that have been
Treading in thick logic
Wading in sick logic
Quick
If you went splat
On an Earth that’s flat
Where would that be at
Would you, too, be
Two dimensional
Or does your rational
Already escape me
You were tow dimensional all
Along… just wasting my song
With sick logic

LYRICS
Wouldn’t want to be in his shoes
Real life blues
Nowhere to go
But 6 feet down
’til the end from now
Clown
The scourge of mankind
For being unkind

Noooo
I wouldn’t want to be in his shoes
Real life blues
Doesn’t even know
Being made the clown
’til the end of time… from now…
Not knowing know-how
No know how
In a bath of wrath
For an unkind mind

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Is this getting a little too scary
The situation — a little too hairy
Well, I’m “hear” to comfort you
And, help you get through
It was only a dream
Know what I mean?

Is this getting a little too frightening
The situation — fingernail biting
Well, I’m “hear” to comfort you
And, help you get through
It can’t be real
That is the deal
(You know… it was only a show)

Getting a little too exciting
Dark clouds, thunder and lightning
Are you “hear” to comfort me
And help me to see
Only make-believe?
How you relieve

Pretend
The End

LYRICS
Encircled by the deepest purple
In fact, black
As hellfire rains down
Reigns all around
That whitelion inside of you
Comes roaring through
While angels are cast from heaven
The sprouting of demons is a fore-given
And at the very end
When the messenger they send
Has no ear to lend….

LYRICS
Forget about the middleman
Too little too late?
Forget about the middlemen
Signed, sealed… fate?
Did you get what you asked for
When you asked for no more
If the middle’s all undone
Is there only one more than one?
The Ends?
Amen
A man’s late fate
The rapid pace of anthropology
To save face… my apology
If we’re apt to adapt
Biology or else geology
Less you lust for all to dust
A common carbon deposit
Destined to be pristine fossil fuel
Is that all there is to it
Destined to be pristine fossil fool

LYRICS
The skies are crying
Over nature lyin’
(Lion?!?! [Roar])
Ignorance is no excuse
Gonna cut us loose
The skies are crying
Over nature dying
Ignorance is no excuse
Gonna cut us loose
All that you / I / we spew
Gonna rain back down on you
The dent of a carbon footprint
Gonna imprint
My, but…
Ass-k me know questions
I’ll tell you know lies
In “the end” everybody dies
Until then
What if everybody tries?

LYRICS
Maybe by disguising the words I’m saying
They’ll be digesting as word playing:
In some far off distant land
They are praying
For a President
Gone mad
In some far out distant time
They can’t understand
Why so bad?
Maybe it was long, long ago
Does anybody (anyone) know?
World’s gone mime
The president of President dent
Head banging
Boom-a-ranging
Turned down
Frown
Sad
May I lend
“The End”

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Know your toe/tow is over the line?
… for the final time
You’re stepping over the line
Onto the side known as “mine”
Crossing the line
Of black and white
Can’t be right
Not long
From wrong
Please don’t try n’ say
You thought it gray
When the shading ain’t that fine
Crossing the line

Sign on the dotted line
Selling soul for a dime
Step to “the end” of the line
The space you’re in’s known as mine
(chorus)

Between love and hate there is no fine line
That line won’t buy you time
At “the end of times”, reverse the line
On the last supper dine
(chorus)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
As the end draws near
Does one start to fear
“I might be better off dead”
Are you ever better off dead
… ever better off dead?

Have you ever heard it said
“It’s all in your head”?
Have you ever gone to bed
Looking forward to what’s ahead

As it gets near the end
Does one’s life depend
On being better off dead
Are you ever better off dead
… ever better off dead?

Once the children are sleeping
The dreaming is sweeping
On the road to keeping
Peacekeeping

When you’re on your last leg
Already kicked the keg
Have you become such a dread
Wishing for “better off dead”?
Are you ever better off dead
… ever better off dead?

LYRICS
I thought I’d be back here
Someday
Just didn’t think it so soon
Didn’t think it’d be
Today
Opposite of high noon
Counterclockwise sunrise

I could feel the cycle
Spinning
From the darkside of the moon
New/knew the shadows would be
Thinning
Approaching high noon
Counterclockwise sunrise

As the cycle turns
Full cycle
From The End an upward trend
Out of the depths of your
Soulful purple
From night into the light
Counterclockwise sunrise

LYRICS
Conductor! Conductor!
Check your vector
(check and a re-check check)
We’re on a runaway symphony
It’s easy to see
And I do say
Alert the engine-ear
Right hear!
Right now!
Wow!

Try to cut loose
The caboose
Chasing this train in vain
’cause Conductor, I checked and re-checked our vector
Why chase the train in vain
Off the tracks
No come-backs
This train is runaway
Wouldn’t you say?
On a runaway symphony
Better alert the engine-ear
Ya better stand clear
It’s out-of-control… we’re all… out-of-control
In fact, Conductor,
It’s sounding more and more
Like Rock n’ Roll
… ain’t that classical at all

The End of the line is a mighty fine line
They say you don’t want to cross
This ain’t no coin toss
They say you don’t want to take any chances
’cause there are no seconds
Minutes, days, years
No more tears…
No more joys…
No more noise
No, no more more
No, no train will remain

LYRICS
Down the slide
Another ride
And why not
… to the top!
Look around
Slide back down

Merry-go-round
Circles found
A life’s cycle
Turn around
And rebound

Just how far
On monkey bars
A bizarre
Among the stars
Reach The End
Do it again

Be quite sure
Of the metaphor
The playground
We have found
Is the instance
Of existence
