Mariana Trench

Ooh, Mariana!
7 miles deep, Mariana lies in wait for you and me...open arms that loved so many lost at sea.
Well you might never know we do invent machines
In virtual the real is now behind the scenes.
They dictate the strange dark creature comforts defined in fear.
Of imploding pressure bubbles burst so crystal clear.
7 miles deep, Mariana lies in wait for you and me...open arms that loved so many lost at sea.
The earth's a big blue marble the sun and moon declare.
Silence golden in the older dark blue lair
Watch Atlas hazy dizzy drop the heaven's sphere.
The unknown to known is why my little white sub's in gear!
ooh Mariana!!
Down down down (niko)

No I don't Follow the yes man!
Well I don't want to coincide
I don't need the tail/tale of your squirrely workings.
I don't need to take you apart
Then I gotta crawl around and pickup the pieces
Down on my hands and knees.
looking up slowly gonna get a snap only
If I don't do all that you please.
No I don't follow the yes man!
I don't wish to do it again
I wouldn't even wish it on my enemies.
hard to find a real true friend
In a circuit city no capacity
static pow electric shock
looking up slowly gonna get a jolt only...if I don't fly with the flock
No I don't follow the yes man!
yeah yeah yeah......oh no! YES MAN!
I don't mean to pull you down
Im just taking up the slack in my lonely business
I don't mind you hangin around, but when it's time to go
I gotta get myself outta this space that I can't escape
Too much on my plate and....I need a Greek Wedding !!
No I won't Marry a YES MAN!
No I won't follow a Yes man.
No I don't follow a yes man.

He said she said
Take me outta this group chat
I don't need to be where it's at
He said she said
So my show has been cancelled
I'll see you out on the dance floor
Not everything is at it seems
not everything is wrong
I've got a North Star and you've gone west,
you're hearing me at my best
He said she said..guitar.
ooh ! Talk Talk Talk....!
He said she said
Not everything is as it seems.
Take time for a song
I've ventured east your way down south
I'm a super tanker heading out the gulf ! TOOT TOOT TOOT !
He said she said...
Mired in Molasses
You should be taking classes
Find a new pair of glasses
You'll survive away from the masses
you'll a stray from the masses
you'll survive a way from the masses
you'll survive a strain from the masses...you'll survive!

Try Me!
Try me on for size, see if it fits,
Try me on and see if we can be seen?
Try me!!
It's all about the eyes, that's the glam and glitz
A lot of material guys have their scams and skitz!
But you....Try me!
You'll never know until you try, do or didn't truth or lie
two wheels from training then you fly
the spice of life is watery-eyed....but you....

Who do you think is right?
Who do you think is wrong"
And who gives the ultimatum?
who holds the beam of light
and who threw the ole' Tomato!?
that was rotting off the vine?
Who do you think is right?
Who do you think is wrong?
And who gives the ultimatum?
Is it someone out of sight?
And are you an automaton!?
Exist or fight or flight?
Who do you think is right?
Who do you think is wrong?
Black or white?
Left or right?
Ultimatum!
Suck or bite?
Loose or tight?
Ultimatum!!
Quattro..tres... dos ....uno!
And who gives the ultimatum?
Learn or damned from mistakes!
Is time relative in me
To all the love I shake and bake!?
who do you think is right?
and Who do you think is wrong?!
who the hell is wrong?
who is bloody right?
Who's got it wrong
who is flunking right
who is flunking wrong?
WRONG!!!!

Get it fixed
03:11
|
|||
|
I don't want you to tell me that it's broken and in two
I don't want you to show me....NO!
The truth is deceiving, two fill in holes
The motion is leaving and the stiffer all of it grows
So if you want it to work again, you'll just have to get it fixed
The first thing is thirsty it's the balance of chemicals
Am I now worthy yes? ....NO !
It's all in that (MC) Escher sketching, each other compliments
and if you're staring harder brother, nothing makes any sense!
So, if you want it to work again, you just have to get it fixed,
Now fix it !
I don't want you to tell me that it's broken and in two
I don't want you to show me....NO!
Now the truth is deceiving, two fill in holes
The motion is leaving and the stiffer all of it grows
So if you want it to work again, you'll just have to get it fixed

Please Believe Me!
WEll now I would not steer you wrong!
Off the cliff or out of the throng!
You're so ripe for advice
White little lambs all play so nice.
Well them sheeple they get a sheer
but hair grows back in 4-8 years
Well your too nice for the throng....to get it wrong
Jeez?! where's Christ in Christian at?
Like dander from dandy
And toothache from candy
you're so ripe for advice
like cigarettes to smokers' vice!
Well, them sheeple they get led near
with no yokes,
madcap's laughing here....(aqui..ariba!_
You're too nice for the throng...to get it WRONG/RIGHT?
WRONG? RIGHT!! SOLO
Your'e too nice! for the throng

Up and Around

How can you say my face is wrong?
When you playin' that card to get along.
Been dealt a hand and had no say
Enter this game a certain way.
But I don't want to bring you down, only up and around!
How is it now to share some more?
Unlock the safe, to what you hoard
Window shop your favorite store
To what you can and can't afford
But I don't want to bring you down, only up and around!
Up and around
It's really right in front of me
Are you for against the sea?
It's really right right in front of us
Get on or get hit by the bus!! GUITAR!
But I don't want to bring you down, only up and around!
Up and around
Rolliing out and rolling in.
You've seen and heard it all begin
The end is far to cross divide
You'll only know from the other side!

Venice to Malta grind to halta
My wicked ways I thought no fault of mine
Venice the menace the shylock in us
The falcon saw prey and I had to hide in time! (In Malta)
Now I can blend in and weave in an ending
For the love of Malta my heart and head undefined (in malta)
But you had some frozen music in you
until that Malta sun melted you (in Malta)
Guitar (In Malta)
Life is a shylock and it demands
Determined souls always command the skies!
Lift or lean now? who am I?
In the summer breeze I'm living a lie (In Malta)
It's a pat on the back or a choking gasp
We disappear now from that grasp in Malta!
But you had some frozen music in you
until that Malta sun melted you (in Malta)
You couldn't escape chaotic foolery
until that Malta moon set you free!
In Malta!

Will we ever see the land again?
Push our knees deep in the sand and pray!?
To Terra Firma again?
Render benders to the past the end
Forge the feet foundation solid friend
To Terra Firma again
Trust earth's melody to honesty
A ground circuit circles all around me
TO terra firma here!
To Terra Firma here
Incognitas' sweeter for prepared
R&D is key for here to there
A challenge set before me truth or dare
What makes me is looking back on how I fared!
GUITAR!
Courageous and tenacious cavalier
Interpret dreams and dream you see the clear
To Terra Firma Again!
Hover above her grace in face of fear
You walk the walk and listen play by ear
To Terra Firma Here!!To Terra Firma Here!!To Terra Firma Here!!To Terra Firma Here!!

She's seeks love in the dark night
She hides in suburban day light
Her eyes are a green mystery
She hates her own history
I'm always falling down out on the ropes
She keeps me ducking but
what do I know? What do I know What do I know??...
GUITAR!'
I'm always falling down out on the ropes
She keeps me guessing but
what do I know? What do I know What do I know??...
Tomorrows' on the table
Bluffing rocking horse cradle
Her hand she's holding so close
She only plays what's showing!
I'm always falling down out on the ropes
She keeps guessing but
what do I know? What do I know What do I know??...

Joanne, Joanna!
Washing whites down by the river
I see kneeling there with your mother
Oh Please Don't look up at me Joanne!
See you in town you turn the corner
Walking under the arm of your father.
Oh Please Don't look up at me Joanne!
Joanne, Joanna!
Please don't venture into my maze
Don't you wander way down to that place
No Don't look up..look up at me Joanne
Keep your hair pinned up always
Never let it down with your smiling face.
Please don't look up at me Joanne
Joanne, Joanna!

You got it trekking up Mt Everest
You got it diving down Mariana
All of me, you got it!!

And now no one can touch you
It's poetic when the planets align
Mr Rogers in perfect perpetuity
Satisfaction from action from opine
You got right brother sister, or whatever the hell you are!?
You got it through and through baby drive my car
Like a natural!!
