I'm all alone
In the world
Blowing like a leaf
In the currents of random change
I see only whats in front of me
I'm in a hurry
(that was close)
Higher and higher
I try to climb
But solipsistic slumber
Makes me totally blind
It is not a dream
It is not a dream to me
Absurdity and all
I will get up when I fall
And look around
(look around at world around you)

A Society Based on Lust

What am I to do in the midst of plans being thwarted
I'm only getting started
It's not fair!
They're becoming aware
Oh where, oh where
Do I go from here
Barber's the only one in this town
Who could bring me down
All of my plans set in motion!
I dropped the ball
(clay people: could'a had it all)
I thought I could keep them close
I wont let them drink the potion
(clay person 1: so it's a potion that turns us into clay?)
(clay person 2: well not really, but she's on a roll let's just go with it)
Their father was a snoopy on
(clay people: that son of a gun)
But we got rid of him by sowing
(The seeds of his devotion)
Mailman was the first observer bewitched by telescope's lens
The only on who could have caught me
With red clay upon my hands
So I called upon friends in high places
And now his ass is gone
I know what I'll do about Barber
With a little help from my friends in the upper echelon
(NASA guy: Hello this is NASA)
Get me Lordland Candlestick on the line!
(NASA guy: right away)
Lordland:
My dear, my dear
How lovely it is to hear from you
My dear, my dear
What can I do for you
Mayor Winsconson:
What wouldn't you do for me, let's just be honest
Lordland:
hahahaha
Mayor W:
Well there is one thing
I really need you to do for me
Lordland:
Anything!
Mayor W:
There's this little twerp
Who's been disrupting my work
Lordland:
I'll kill them!
Mayor W:
Please don't
Their name is Barber
They've got an affinity for telescopes
Just send them an email or something
Tell them you'll show them the ropes
And meanwhile I'll finish building
My army
Of little clay things
Lordland:
Little play things
Mayor W:
That's right
For you and me
Lordland:
For you and me
Mayor W:
For you and meeeeeee
Out passed the moon
Amongst the stars
That's where I belong
Arcturus is ours
But only the rich
Will be fit to embark
Housed in a litteral replica
Of Noah's ark
And we'll leave all these peasants to rust
And build a society based on lust

Baby it's easy when you get just what you want
But sometimes it's just much harder than it looks
And baby it's easy when you get just what you need
But sometimes it all just goes
Straight to hell
Oh well
And maybe I'm just making this more complicated than it has to be
But I suppose that's all based on your ability to perceive
What is normal
And what is not
And I've been waiting for some destiny
Or clarity
Or something bigger than me
And maybe you're just trying to impress somebody else
But these decisions that you make are all part of a charade
And I hope that it is worth it
I said I hope that it is worth it
Because I've been waiting for some sympathy
Because honesty just isn't doing the trick
And I've been praying for some clarity or a prophesy
To hold onto what I believe
Swimming around in the shallow end of life is such a drag
But if you go too far off the deep end
You could loose everything you ever had
And baby it's easy when you get just want
But sometimes it all just goes
Straight to hell

I met a traveler from an antique land
Who gave me a big bucket of sand
She told me "you've long since passed
This bucket of sand is all that's left"
At the end of eternity
when all of time has passed
We will look at your shattered visage and laugh
For you and your family are dead and gone
And so is everything you've ever done
Back in those old days
You would often laugh from
Up on your ivory tower
The pointing
The screaming
The laughing
The killing
As you'd slurp up vast rivers
And in your final days
You'll still screaming
But the difference will be
Your in horrible pain
As the atrocities you've committed
Flash before your week and pail eyes
Your beautiful kingdom is now a colossal wreck
Your body is not much better
In time you will be gone and all of nature herself will laugh
Her oceans
her forests
Her animals
Her clay
She will laugh forever
Meanwhile you'll be rotting
Your face becoming one with the dirt
Someday you'll be so meaningless
That you wont even be there to rot

it wasn't a plan
it wasn't a dream
it was in the palm of my hand
on the branch of a tree
it was an occasion
buzzing like a fly
a new location
temporary landing
standing on the back of a slow moving beast
with oceans for hair
and mountains for teeth
tooth ache bone break
pain is the game
pain is just pain
pain is a name
for whom do you scrape at the face of the mother of us all
to whom does all this go to afterwards
for whom does the sky burn
for whom does the blood run
for whom does the choir of mourners sing
for you, ahhhh
for you, ahhhh
(oh my god)
it wasn't a movie
it wasn't a parade
it might have been a pantheon
of gods without names
but what are the odds
odd little phrase
odd little world
arbitrary days
it wasn't a menagerie
it's not for display
for that you need a viewer
and that is impossible
"for whom it may concern"
such a disconcerted sentiment
apostrophic bullshit constructed with a half-baked alphabet
for whom does the desert dry
for whom does the ocean drown
to whom does the freak accident occur
to you, ahhh
to you, ahhh
(oh my god)

Promised Land
03:01
|

Now that we find ourselves in the violent energy that lies behind words
There will be something to do with the promised land now
The languid yet impermanent fluttering wings of souls
For unspecified increments of unknowable time
As it is
As it was
And as it will be
We sing
We fly
We land
We eat
