Cake
Wandering into oblivion
in the darkness, in the dust
In the Ocean for your treasure
In the desert for your pleasure
New companions, new friends
new tribe within the one tribe
Will I ever see you again?
We’ll meet for breakfast on the other side
You said the words
you signed papers
Is there an amendment
to the arrangement
Stand-ins and surrogates, alternate versions
alternative lifestyles, alternative rock & roll
Structures and strictures hold you in place
Integrity and saving face
Everyone’s got their own personality
Everyone’s got their own reality
Everyone’s got their own morality
Everyone’s got their own conformity
You said the words
you signed papers
Is there an amendment
to the arrangement
You want the cake and eat it too
you want to taste something new
desire is in your nature
Keep it kind with other creatures
Take the advice of your teachers
Words of the wise
who’ve gone before you
You said the words
you signed papers
Is there an amendment
to the arrangement
You sang the words
you burned the papers
Is there contentment
with the arrangement

New Dark Age
I can’t sing over this
I can’t see through this mist
I can’t breathe through this mess
A new dark age is upon us
Let your light shine
In a new dark age
Malignant and malicious
ignorant and contagious
superstitious and super religious
Anti-science and prone to violence
Let your light shine 3x
In a new dark age
Anti nature but she don’t care
She just carries on and on and on
in and out with the waves (tide?)
Up and down with the sun
Let your light shine
In a new dark age
You just want to sing and dance
and have a drink with your friends
to be left alone in peace
to be free from disease
Let your light shine
In a new dark age

Stability
Stability
and comfort
or utility
and adventure
The aimless
Nameless
Sameness
Is upon us
Don’t go crazy
get your medicine
In the green
In the wood
In the water
In the sound
Get out, get out, get out, get out
Go get it, go get it, get it, get it
Right outside your door
Soften what is tight
And firm what is soft
Don’t lose your mind
Don’t lose your balance
Don’t talk about it
Just get out, get out, get out, get out
Go get it, go get it, get it, get it
Right outside your door
In the green
In the wood
In the water
In the sound

Drug
She’s just a drug
And I’m just a junkie
You’ve had a taste
Now you want her in your veins
And I am ruined by you
I am ruin for you
I am ruined in you
And I am ruin to you
She’s just a drug
I’m just a junkie
Just a little taste
Nearly laid your life to waste
Refrain:
And I am ruined by you
I am ruin for you
I am ruined in you
And I am ruin to you
The pleasure monger feels the hunger
How much longer can the flesh endure
you inject her with morphine as she struggles to breathe
They say you’ll need time to properly grieve
But all I can feel is a sense of relief
At your release
And I am ruined by you
I am ruin for you
I am ruined in you
And I am ruin to you
She’s just a mermaid
And I’m just a sailor
If you listen to her call
Then surely you will fall

Autumn
Your bones ache
The seasons change
you’ve reached that age
the barometer
The colors fade
like a dying flame
you watch the way
two hummingbirds play
In Autumn
You’ve made your moves
made your repairs
like you do every year
good boy scouts be prepared
Wandering in the woods
Wending to the water
taking trails less traveled
taking it all in
Taking it al in
Taking it all in
Taking it all in
Back to your box
back to your rooms
back to your plot
where the drama resumes
In Autumn

Watch the Sky
Sing Birds I’m listening
Buzz bee I’m watching
The skies have all gone quiet
They’ve grounded all the pilots
Yeah captain they’ve clipped your wings
The jet stream is free of machines
The pilots are at the bar
The passengers are in the yard
Now people are out in the streets
Everyone’s taken to their feet
Peace and love are taking a beating
But with death, there is no cheating
Now the skies are picking up the pace
People want to get out of this place
Fear arises from running away
What are we going to do today?
Watch the Sky
Feel the Wind
Live Your Life
Until the end
Watch the Sky
Feel the Wind
Live Your Life
Until the end

The Globe

The Globe
The globe, the earth
the evergreens, the alpine
the peaks, the valleys
the oceans, the deserts
you create, you consume
you explore, you stay in your room
you live pure, then roll in dirt
either way, you clean up well
You’re brutal, you wrecked it
you’re smart, you’ll fix it
you’re dual, you dabble
you’re cool, when you travel
It’s magnetic and your attracted
it’s magic — you call it that
when you can not see the link
to how it’s all connected
It’s math, it’s microscopes,
it’s witchcraft, it’s horoscopes
you smoke the dope, it’s how you cope
you’ll hang yourself with enough rope
You camouflage your intentions
you sabotage the intervention
so you can stay in a reality
of your own invention
you consider the alternative
you question the motive
you fear to speak the truth
so you spin your pleasant lies
As you roam the earth
among the evergreens and the alpine
As you climb the peaks
and ride down the valleys
you’re parched in the desert
and you're quenched in the ocean
you create, you consume
you explore, you stay in your room
you live pure, then roll in dirt
either way, you clean up well

Heron
Fisher birds with longswords
spearing sculpin in the shallows
silly boys skipping school
throwing stones at passing trains
Amputees with walking sticks
traversing rocky terrain
a veteran or a victim
of an old man’s war
Peace won’t come easily
please come peacefully
peace won’t come easily
please come easily
Martial artist on the sand spit
throwing punches, kicks and spins
at the onslaught of rushing waves
He celebrates in his way
Old man yells at silly boys
ricochets land too close
the dog barks at them too
she knows when she smells a fool
Peace won’t come easily
please come peacefully
peace won’t come easily
please come easily

Forget Yourself

Forget yourself
think of someone else
Forget yourself,
Lend a little help
Forgive yourself
Don’t wait for someone else
Forgive yourself
Do it for your health
I just can not win with you
Still I have to live with you
Open your mouth
you’ve got something to say
Remove all doubt
Step into the fray
The only constant is change
The deck chairs have been rearranged
Released from your chains
The sea will claim your remains

Circumstances
So many things are bringing me down
I can’t even keep count
One thing that’s perfectly true
It most certainly isn’t you
It’s these circumstances
Yeah these circumstances
Giving us so many chances
To work this through
Because love is a pleasure
And love is a pain
And love is the pain
Of being truly alive
Let’s bring a life into this light
To watch them laugh to watch them cry
To watch them suffer to watch them die
Mine ain’t yours and yours ain’t mine
But we all suffer the same,
yeah we all suffer the same
It’s these circumstances
Yeah these circumstances
And all I can do
is stand my ground
be there for you
Be a friend to the end
Because love is a pleasure
And love is a pain
And love is the pain
Of being truly alive
And love is a pleasure
And love is a pain
And love is the pain
Of being truly alive
It’s these circumstances,
yeah these circumstances
Yeah these circumstances,
circumstances,
Circumstances, circumstances
Yeah these circumstances,
circumstances
