I've got a feeling that no one cares,
'bout all that confetti I throw in the air Nothing's important yet everything is If there ain't no photo I just don't exist And the winds blow and the sky looks cool So I make my home in the clouds I see the oceans, the mountains, the plains The rats and the suckers, the strong and the lame Sometimes I dream about flying on down Falling in love and life on the ground And the winds blow and the sun comes up And I stay behind the clouds Yes I live behind the clouds Raise Surya to burn off the soil Make it safe for my eyes I'd pay good money just to get proved wrong for once in my goddamned life Pull me in, drag me down into your ocean of love My wings are ragged and my soul is gone So tired of floating above Sing to me baby your sweet refrain I feel I'm coming apart in this rain That's all I need if that's all I hear Some beautiful music as I disappear And the winds blow and the sun goes down And I stay behind the clouds Yes I stay behind the clouds Yeah I live behind the clouds 02. Last Patrol
Oh mama, don't you know this is my last crusade
That's right, I'm cashin' out Your boy has got it made I've got a ten foot blond She's waiting on the moon That girl is living sin I'm gonna be there soon The last patrol Well let the games begin Let's let the circus burn 'Cause I'm a wise old dog and you have much to learn It's a cosmic joke those suckers never knew Before I melt this ball I'm gonna burn them too The last patrol Baby, can you save my heart and take this gig into the stars Melt the ghosts inside my head The same ones who told me rock was dead No more will those dogs pervert the life I've lead in motion blur I'll fry the fools who'll never learn and leave them in my after-burn Let's let the circus burn 03. Three King Fishers
Three kingfishers birds you shall have
Dive and swim in the ripples of your laugh Oh, I dreamed you were a jewel sitting in a golden crown on my head Look at the tiny oceans in my hands Waves of liquid colors touch the sand Oh, I dreamed you were a jewel sitting in a golden crown on my head 04. Paradise
Sure is cold here and I ain't lyin'
The stairs lead nowhere and time is dead If I had someone just to listen I'd tell them stories of paradise When I was young I crossed an ocean Crossed an ocean oh, so far away Cosmic circus, instant passions I found a way for me to make it pay Well let me guess now, my little monkey You love your salt and your cigarettes And with your eyes shut you see Valhalla You've lost some fight but you ain't done yet Now come a little bit closer Well ain't that nice You and me girl, between the raindrops Little pieces of paradise Baby, I'm dyin' so let's do some cryin' Let's cherish some sins in the cave Under the rainbow where no one will ever know We'll make such a beautiful place Sure is hot here It's like a jungle Hot enough for life to grow But it's just too much I can't take the hassle There ain't no air and it's time to go We've got the scars to prove us Well ain't that nice All our laughin' and all our cryin' are little memories of paradise 05. Hallelujah
Brothers, never discount a Tuesday
You'd better spring for a good hotel You got to keep the talent starry eyed if you wanna keep ringin' those bells It ain't no theory, it's the law, boy And while the dabblers keep douchin' around Old Eisenhower's got his candles lit a couple hours a'fore he rolls into town I roll right into town I roll right into town Hallelujah If you spend too much time chewin' bubblegum you're apt to spoil the old appetite Well I just reach in the hole of my enthusiastic soul and show 'em why they call me the creep How's about a little camp fire, ladies? What say we sing a few songs? We got music and mirth and we got peace on this earth and I'm certain we all can get along We all can get along, we all can get along, we all can get along Cynthia and Jerry has a message they're sayin' All of you squares go home I say goddamn, I'm the luckiest man Come on and all sing along Hallelujah, hallelujah 06. Mindless Ones
Brother, can you help me now
I feel my mind is drifting Lost between the sacred grains of sand forever shifting Dormammu is looming and of that you can be sure I can sense the yawning of his dimension's door So turned on What we all knew is gone Burn your wheels into the sun Surrender to the mindless ones Great Vishanti I am gone, a white haired girl is crying All beliefs are thrown to hell, the ancient one is dying My astral self is frozen and there's no way I'm returning I must gaze into the eye, I watch my body burning I'm so turned on What we all knew is gone Burn your wheels into the sun Surrender to the mindless ones 07. The Duke
[Verse 1:]
Come on, Checking out the office girls on a Friday afternoon Well she's got the shape I need for the mine to break too soon It's all dead moons and chicken bones And child don't you fear You'll be singing in a higher purpose Now your super nature's clear Yeah, it all comes near [Chorus:] Well I swear I did you baby Back in 49 in vain When the devil lost the big war But he figured out a way Now I watch and make the world come And in dollars due thus die And I praise the day the duke of Supernature's coming back Is coming back Is coming back [Verse 2:] My old pal Icarus rode too close to the sun And folks tend to get off sand When they see how the job gets done Now close your eyes, and pay no mind to the circles round your head The answer to those questions Is right here in my own bed Yeah, oh In my own bed Hit it [Chorus:] Well I swear I did you baby Back in 49 in vain When the master lost the big one But he figured out a way Now I watch and make the world come And in dollars due thus die And I praise the day the duke of Supernature's coming back Is coming back now Yeah 08. End Of Time
Someone tell those slobs that they got it wrong
They screwed us good and gave the whole circus away Venus warm my bed 'cause I'm coming home, now I'm crashing the ship and just walking away Somebody told me once that you were deeper than darkness A shining face on a body that could send me to war Naked flesh in the heart of a nuclear sunrise, baby Drain that lizard's tank until there ain't anymore Throw my burned out head in a lake of fire I'll satisfy my soul on the other side Pump me till I'm gone and I can't get back I'll smoke you fuckers out at the end of time I saw this girl, once... her hair was on fire Her eyes like stars She's never left my mind A planet bird singing her phoenix song Electric children's voices at the end of time Somebody told me once that you were deeper than darkness A shining face on a body that could send me to war Naked flesh in the heart of a nuclear sunrise, baby Drain that lizard's tank until there ain't anymore Throw my burned out head in a lake of fire I'll satisfy my soul on the other side Pump me till I'm gone and I can't get back I'll smoke you fuckers out at the end of time Wash my tired brain in an acid bath Fuck me till I'm dead and I can't get back I'll satisfy my soul on the other side and smoke my baby out at the end of time 09. Stay Tuned
Well there's a crazy moon, been up all week
And it's messing with the things that I think and do And I find myself staring at a screen wondering how far we've come since the death of cool There ain't no targets to aim for No more mountains to climb At least they're not where they used to be Why even keep it hard in a flat-lined world where every piece of dung is the next big thing What's gonna happen now? Will the good guys pull through somehow? Stay tuned till next time and we'll see what's what Now the boys upstairs with all their best and worst intentions know that chaos always wins out in the end They don't got your back so use your imagination and be pretty goddamned careful how you choose your friends So hold each other tight now and look into each other's eyes Don't be too impressed with the ones above 'Cause the world's getting shaved by another drunken barber and you gotta build your trust with the ones you love Well the lies keep coming tough We need wings to stay above Stay tuned till next time and we'll see what's what 10. Strobe Light Beatdown
[Bonus Track]
Baby, I'm the only one who reckons your kind of fun Goddamn is all I have to say I love to hear you when you beg that way Baby, the strobe light's on Show some imagination and wear some pearls My, my, my, my, my you're a healthy girl Your mother's got a real big mouth She slobbers when she goes down south Goddamn is all I have to say I love to hear it when she talks that way your mother's got a real fine mouth Use your imagination and wear some pearls My, my, my, my, my what a healthy girl Let's see what the mirror has to say I think we got a winner Bark your appreciation when your ship comes in Baby, baby, baby there's no such thing as sin I can see the black holes in your pretty eyes There's no room in your banged out little heart left for surprise No room in your banged out little head left for surprise 11. One Dead Moon
[Bonus Track]
Hey girl, don't act surprised You knew you'd see me here Been a long, long time for you and me Somewhere along the way the light just left your eyes And I'd hate to think it was because of me I hope you're happy with that drone you found and he's saying all the things you want him to Girl, I know you and you need those lies 'cause the truth just takes so much of you Just one thing before I walk away Honey, you're one dead moon And I don't expect that old silver light to come back soon Your beauty, oh there's no denying it You were the silver light of a big, bright moon And I know that when you tried to change me you were so damn sure it was the only thing to do But you ain't as clever as you think you are The fact is I miss your body more than I miss you I can't be worried 'bout no wounded pride 'cause for just this once I gotta tell the truth Just one thing before I walk away Honey, you're one dead moon And I don't expect that old silver light to come back soon |
