@SONG: CHANGE

It's a little boy paradise
forget white flesh
just pick a disguise
we've old men in power
and colored teenage girls getting paid to
take the golden shower.

A glimpse of reality
a touch of perfection
someone turn my head
can you change
the direction.

Trees don't grow
at the bottom of the ocean
sun don't shine
in the middle of the night
don't you wonder sometimes how
the stars are stuck
to the sky.

"Chorus"

Cars don't fly
and a house won't swim
but a man can live on
if he looses a limb
reading the papers
I sometime think
if we don't stop the fanatics
our world gonna sink.

"Chorus"

It's a little boy paradise
forget white flesh
just pick a disguise
we've old men in power
and colored teenage girls getting paid to
take the golden shower.


@SONG: WHEN WE'RE ALIVE

Just before the day breaks
in the wee hours of the morning
I hear the cats cry
my inner vision
is a babyface yawning
I guess it's always like that
when we're alive.

Yes! We are alive
Don't forget
we are alive.

N.Y. cat wrote back
after 3 years lack of contact
just to state
that she was still kicking
sure as hell
there are bumps in the road
but time was still ticking
it's like that, when we're alive.

"Chorus"

Is the joke still clean
when it's your own face
up on the screen?
I can't explain the dream
but we laugh in our sleep
when we're alive.

"Chorus"

I'm your fool at nite
the mad clown in the lite
if I'm the pilot
will you trust the flight?
will you crawl off and die
or will you stay and be alive?

"Chorus"


@SONG: ON THE FLOOR

They say seeing is believing
then I can't see
they say that pain is for the grieving
but it can't be
'cause it hurts to be with you
to be away from you.

They say the loving man
is a fool - tied on feet and hands
I think he just follows
the command
and surrenders.

They say God is a whore
whom you fuck and leave bleeding
on the floor
tell me once more
and I'll show you the door.


@SONG: EVEN IN HELL

Endless morning
endless rain
better stay in bed
the rest of the day
spent every dime -
fooled again.

You can't kick
the habit
- even in Hell.

Draw the blinds
or cross some lines
mistreating people
hurting friends again.

"Chorus"
Proud hearts that burst
comfort in glass
a light in the mind
or - a fake powerblast.

"Chorus"

Endless morning
endless pain
a work in progress
or, an energy drain.

"Chorus"

Oh mama,
was it my fault
just another boy drowning
a final assault.

"Chorus"


@SONG: GODS LAST JOKE

Slow, slow
boy walking in snow
barely progressing
barely knows where to go
barely understands.

"Gods last joke"

So, so
get into a nice, steady flow
a misfit place
in a puzzle of blue notes
a fractured soul
where a gentle wind blows.

"Gods last joke"

I'm up
or am I out
I can fly
or maybe only shout
gotta move
I'm hyper
I'm a kite - I can fly.

"Gods last joke"
