"ULTRA VEGA"

i'm feeling for a figure in the dark
presents a strange possession
like a chain around my heart
heaven throws a rope
and it's six strings long
heaven throws a rope
and it's six strings long
and i reject the poison
i eject the poison
after the launch
and the flames have gone to bed
projectiles work in motion
like a clockwork in my head
making an art of transmigration
clicking parts of radiation
living fear of annialation
on the surface of the blade
i feel the need to purge
i feel the need to purge

"LASER DAYS"

laser days are here
can you hear the sound
i don't like them
turning burning red
going round and round
turn it over
yea, i was alive
when the third war was lost
later days are here
pennies for a pound
i won't buy them
turning burning down
fill the lead balloons
i will fly them
yea, i was alive
when the ax caught rust

"HENS GONE WRONG"

eight foot high, eight foot high
the hens said the fence was way to high
eight foot high, eight foot high
the hens said the fence was way to high
hens gone wrong
i watched them cluck
i watched them then
and i watched them truck
they moved around
and made a sound
like a bad man
'cause they said i was a bad man
hens gone wrong
i watched them squak
i watched them then
and i watched them clock
they moved around
and made a sound
like a bad man does
'cause they said i was a bad man
eight foot high.....

"I'M LISTENING"

walked right up onto some kind of edge
you were out there too but nothing was said
i'm listening...
i don't know whether to stay or go
i don't know what you know
i felt something new some kind of debt
i've got nothing to do have you a plan?
i'm listening...
i'm listening...

"OUT TO SEA"

better send up a rocket flare
there's gonna be danger here
i know you lied when you said that you could steer
four thousand out and it's dark out here
and i lied when i said that i could navigate
guess it's just a little too late
better send up a rocket flare
feels like there gonna be danger here...
of course my plans all fell over the rail
now the sky won't fall and the wind won't sail
the doubts in your mind are at least a dozen stronger
i'm gonna wait just a little bit longer
better send up a rocket flare
there's gonna be danger here
same old story
lost as usual
same old story
late as usual
send up a rocket flare...

"HOLDING PEN"

steel wires know
what the light won't show
you promised me a part
and of what, i know not
so i'm here in the holding pen
waiting for sunlight
to dry the molding ground
i'll follow the ballest home
and for what, i do rome
and curse the bloody road

"EJECTI NOVA SPEED"

ejecti, nova, speed
smoke in my eye
waving in the heat
ejecti, nova, speed
flames in the sky
clouds in my tea
endless flecks of moondust
finessed specks of earthrust
ejecti nova...
ejecti, nova, speed
smoke in my eye
clouds in my tea...

"BROKEN IN SPRING"

something broke down by the garden in spring
the magic went back where it came
I don't know why never planned to go to outer space
or study the human race
I never learned why
it's funny the way that you float like that
no one knows where your at
when did you leave ?
I once loved someone strong like you
I lost her to someone who
never broke in the spring
I broke in the spring

"JERK"

little story fallen teardrop
faded headache memories
hushing voices within earshot
follow me, come to see
what you steal is slowly crushing
the milk inside setting free
running down this rusted service
follow me, just come to see
does the air outside seem strong enough
the grass out here is getting rough
I share it with some poor boys just like me
It's easy to get suicidal
revving your machine on idle
pointed ears and crystal fantasies
that's me
here comes the jerk....

"FALLING THE WALL"

stare at the wall
it's strong and it's tall
after the fall
slip and I slide mud in my eye
crawling on home
lucifer was busy and the eye of the needle is small
and I need insured by your cruel and hardened hard heart
stare at the sky wanting to fly
I try and I try
going nowhere I'm here and I'm there
I don't know why
everyone is busy making anthills and fingers in pie
I don't know why
I don't know why
But the fruit is rotting on the trees
and I'm sitting on the lawn
I'm begging on my knees
but I'm talking to no one
and I just steam and steam and steam on and on
proud boy proud boy proud boy proud boy
where have you gone?
dear god
send it in a letter
the seeds are planted in the garden
looks like were in for stormy weather
don't forget to learn to let the dog in

"SLEEPING DOGS"

sleeping dogs
don't run, don't run, don't run
sleeping dogs
on fun, no fun, no fun
sleeping dogs...don't lie
your no fun
your a sleeping dog

"ICY"

icy, trickles in my hand
icy, never understands
icy, icy, never has a plan
icy, icy, says that I'm her man
I never went to school
I was cursed to play a fool
icy, icy, numbs me as a rule
icy, icy, is so much more than cool
she slips away in the light of the day
changes forms as well as faces
and in a glaze she inspires me
the pain is gone and left no traces
icy...

"GONE FISHING"

I'm going away from here
but I will be back
please leave on the light my dear
and don't lower the flag
I've gone fishing....
it was a brave idea
I had to endur
a letter for me right here
return to sender
I've gone fishing....
now the hunter has turned to bait
and camps out alone
cast out the line and wait
will you ever go home?
I've gone fishing....

"POP FOR SALE"

I felt so used
never choosed
and I was paying for it
any price analyzed
i was making for it
pop for sale
available
I won't be going home
it seemed like fear was everywhere
and I was stepping on it
any price rationalized
and I was going for you
pop for sale
available
I won't be going home

"TRULY IN PIECES"

truly in pieces
get 'em while their hot
truly in pieces
get 'em while their hot
why would you bother
why would you even care
about something that fell apart
truly in peices
and I need them I need them
truly in pieces...
the witch of the west
has blown in again
another game of cards
called in her hand
now I'm tossed in the wind
truly in pieces...

"TAKE ME BACK HOME"

take me back home
I'm all alone
I'm alive just like you
beg and i plead to get what i need
I'd like to survive just like you
I know some diamonds are rough
and i know diamonds are there
but very rare
please take me home
I've been alone
I'm alive just like you
pray and believe I'll find what I need
I'd like to survive just like you
I'll grow, green things in spring
and i know, flowers in pain need rain
please take me home
I'm all alone
I'm alive just like you
I beg and i plead to get what i need
I'd like to survive just like you
I'm just like you

"FOOL ON A ROPE"

it was a long rope, I said
I would meet you there
for the long road, and bled
all over myself
foolish me for decieving
foolish you for believing my head
by a long rope, I hanged
but fell to the ground
by the long row, I stayed
and never let down
foolish me for believing
foolish you for decieving my head

"THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY"

nonstop livestock
get there on the double
or they'll be trouble
full torque pitchfork
pick 'em from the rubble
I'm just another runaway
now i'm a sunshine salesman
on the arctic beachcoast
i'm the one that got away
left foot right foot
inches from the bounty
another county
fear of image
mirror image
a shard in the valley
I'm the one who couldn't stay
now I'm a four corse horsey
on the desert prairie
I'm just the one that got away
I'm just another runaway...

"HOW SQUARE AM I"

crusing now out in the alpha
crusing now into the delta
star and star and star and star and trine
star and star and star and star
how square am I?
crusing now out of the troposphere
zenith sure looks different up here
star and star and star and star and trine
star and star and star and star
how square am I?

"SO VERY"

now back, back to the old
twenty years ago
there I am in my home town
and then I see you coming round
the lightning bolts would strike
then strike again
so very...
different, so different now
miles and miles away and how
there is no one who looks like that
there is no lightning bolt attack
where have you gone?
who was that me?
so very...
now that I'm on the right side now
it's too bad that I'm upside down
now that I've got it figured out
it's too bad that I'm all in doubt
so very...
