LYRICS
You call this industrial strength noise pollution? Wooah, woooah.
Then, I’m glad to hear it’s not falling on deaf ears
Music to the ears it sears
Seize in disbelief
Peace-less quite relief

[jam]

This music could be dangerous
If you are serious

It’s the kind that’ll melt your mind

Industrial noise pollution (Woooah, woooah.)
Pullin’ out of the station

LYRICS
Your get up and go
Must have got up and gone
Wondering where it went

Your get up and go
Must have got up and gone
Wandering incoherent

Though at first I didn’t succeed
In deed, I did try, try, try
Now, I have to ask myself why
I don’t say goodbye, bye, bye

Your get up and go
Must have got up and gone
Squandering… it’s been spent

Your get up and go
Must have got up and gone
Laundering what’s been meant

Gone, Gone, Gone.mp3

LYRICS
Got me on a string
Doing that up and down thing
I just want to know
Is it yes or is it no

Ya know
I’m not your digital yoyo

You’re acting all slinky
But there’s no building blocks
The way you play… stinky
Here’s to blowing off your socks

Time to dance to pop at the sock hop

Got me on a string
That back and forth thing
Sorry, but no…
I’ve just gotta go

LYRICS
The teeth of the saw
Chew through
The eye-of-a-needle
Sees you
Hey, Ma and Pa
Am I just feeble?

It’s time to come clean
There’s a man in the machine

The mouth of the river
Flows foul
The arm of the law
Isn’t just
Justice turned to lust
Makes ya shiver

It’s time to come clean
There’s a man in the machine

Don’t let the gravitational pull
Pull the wool
Over your eyes

Big bang!
Surprise

Now, here’s the thang
Though not quite in grasp of your fingers
It still lingers

The way Big Bang behaves…
Primordial gravitational waves
I mean, it’s worthy of a primal scream

Yeeha! Big bang!

Plus what’s around

Wash n’ over you

Turn a sonic future
Into hear here
Here and now
A now know flow

LYRICS
Maybe for you it’s numbers
Maybe for you it’s the day of the week
The month or the day
Or the year
The year of the snake
The year of the monkey
Maybe you can see sound
Chromesthesia

Chromesthesia

What if I could hear what you could see
What if you could see what I could hear
Well, we can
And, it’s coming in clear
Just got to tap into the part of the brain
Not insane at the membrane

You can see what you can hear
Chromesthesia

Maybe you’ve got to do a spinal tap
Or some sort-of Buddhist chant
Or maybe you can connect
Just like that

’cause you can see what I hear
And, it’s coming in clear
Sometimes like lines
Other times like fireworks
Sometimes like lines
No one is quite sure how it works
Chromesthesia

Neurological miracle

Here we go
Like a rainbow

LYRICS
They say, they say
We’re out of the Golden Age
We’re past the Uranium Age
We’ve entered the Plutonium Age

Say, say what do you say?

Even after generation upon generation upon generation
Upon sage upon sage upon sage
We rolled out of the Golden age

“You are now leaving the Golden Age”
How will you ever manage?

They say we’re leaving the Golden Age
Going past the Uranium Age
Must be in the Plutonium Age
A nuclear nightmare
Stay clear

I guess we’ve left the Golden Age… left it far behind
The how to be kind kind
The kind of kind that would mind
Do you find that you mind
All the things that society brings

I guess we’ve left the Golden Age
Entering the time of severe rage
Let our animal instincts think
And, we don’t mind not being kind

Acting like a mean old junk yard dog
Acting like a hog
Acting like a junk yard dog
Howling at the moon
None too soon, we’ll be left howling at the moon

They say we’ve left the Golden Age
At the nucleus, we’ve turned nuclear
Exactly as we did fear
Time to wear military gear
Now, your task
Get a gas mask
They’ll be dropping bombs
Sending you flying to your tomb

Don’t want that coming too soon
Just howling at the moon

Conquer our strife
Keep evil at bay

LYRICS
You can believe in what you want to believe in
As long as your believe
Or else you’ll be *it*
A hypocrite

Do you have faith in what you believe
Then you’d better believe
You better believe in what you believe
Or that’s it
You’re the hypocrite

Do you want to believe in yourself
Then, go right ahead
As long as you believe in what you believe
Do you want to believe in God Almighty above
Then, go ahead
As long as you believe in what you believe
’cause there is this universal love
As long as you believe

Whether you want to believe it’s God above
Or, you believe it’s in your heart
As long as you start
Believe in what you believe

Let’s believe
We can relieve
The pain and suffering
Letting the love in
If you believe

You can believe in what you want to believe in
As long as your believe
We can believe if you believe
In the power of love

LYRICS
Jesus vampire…
Upon your empire?

Somewhere along the line
People thought it would be just fine
To claim it as their own
(The Martyr’s throne)

Like the Pope’s empire
Built on Jesus The Vampire

Once you’re a vampire
You can’t retire

Nails through the hands and feet
Step right this way and get your seat
Get your fill on Calvary Hill

A vampire Jesus just for us
Christ the Lord has risen today
Hallelujah
Hell-elujah

Higher!
Take us higher
Jesus vampire
Show us the glory of all
Tell us the story
Of the good
And, how we could and should

Jesus vampire
Take us higher

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Em Em7 Em7(11) A

The song was inspired by a conversation with my son, the vampire slayer, on Good Friday.

Daniel 12

New International Version (NIV)
The End Times

12 “At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered. 2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.

John 2:22
When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

“Vampire Definition — Among the Romani people, mullo (literally one who is dead) are believed to return from the dead….”

LYRICS
Excuse me, Ma’am
Did you say mayhem?

I don’t know that’s who I am

Excuse me, Ma’am
Were you addressing me
If so, I’ll try to see

Excuse me, Ma’am
Did you say mayhem?
I didn’t ever want to be the master
Of what you would consider disaster

Excuse me, Ma’am
Did you say mayhem?
Would you mind repeating it again

Do you want to play the ham
Then, say it again — mayhem!

You thought the pork was all &^%$ed
You ain’t see nothing
Go tell your Gram

Avoiding the P.M.
For the A.M.
Cause that’s where I am
That’s where we are
Out under the stars

Excuse me, Ma’am
Did you want mayhem?

That’s not who I am

I try, try, try
To make sense of all humanity
I try… how I try
But, if it falls on deaf ears
Then that’s exactly what you feared

LYRICS
The clouds tower
In some sort-of show of power (tower of power)
The sky turns
Majestic purple
The sole yearns
My stomach feels a little ill
… still….

Is it strange
They can’t rhyme with orange
Are they mixing the colors of rage

Will the storm clouds pound
To the ground
Until our reasoning is sound?

ABOUT THE SONG

The title of the song was inspired by trying to think of words that rhyme with purple… then, reading that “you can’t rhyme” to purple or orange.

Orion draws his bow
And wouldn’t you know
Ursa Major moves in front of Ursa Minor
With a parental protective instinct
No need to think
I’m realizing
Scorpio rising

The consolation… you’re a constellation
We’re all stars
How bright will you shine
Open my ears
With an angelic refrain so fine
Love came
Within our time

Orion draws his bow
And wouldn’t you know
Canis Major moves in front of Canis Minor
With a parental protective instinct
No need to think
I’m realizing
Scorpio rising

No need to forego Virgo
Like Phoenix flown from flame
You can be born again
