Escape Velocity

Pulling G's/Jesus fuzz faced...in a velvet rocket chair reclined.
The escape velocity, maybe bringing me back to bind.

Back, Where?
02:48

I wanna die on a sunny day
no long g'byes, no way
Please don't cry, it's all the same
A dip in the pool back where we came....
Where did they go?
They'll let you know
they never left
they float round the globe
your thoughts speak for you
this they can tell
remembered is heaven, forgotten is hell
back where we came
You are your actions, this I know
divide into factions, go go go
where are you going? you're so sure
The only st peter is heading for your backdoor
I'm seein stars
Pleasure and pain
changes in circuits
All that we made
all so familiar
all so strange
to where we're going
back where we came...

The Battle of MIDWAY
I feel the need for speed.
Gotta duck bob and weave
Pulling it outta my sleeve.
Think I gotta leave
Battle of Midway toil
A toll on a soul re-coil
Battle of Midway Pain
Is the smarter armor really a gain?
Battlin’ dregs be a drag.
Sea sailor slouch and sag
Can’t let water soak up our flag
The commander in chiefs’ rag
Battle of Midway toil/CHORUS/BRIDGE
Freud intention, a mind invention, peace, and love
In the air, everywhere, over there, I succumb
I’m not dumb, I’m the one, who’s in love native son
With a credo, so neato, bubbling up from above
SOLO
I’m an army navy air-force marine
Into a mental battle unforeseen
Liberating conservative dreams
On inner turmoil to steam
Battle of Midway toil/CHORUS

Hinterlands at Sea

HINTERLANDS @ SEA
Please throw me a line, I’m looking up from over the side
I’m cold your moving for words, a drowning sentence is not what I heard
Haul away from Davey’s locker a grave at the bottom is not for me sir.
The timing has to be right for fishing me out of the deep sea tonight.
NOTION SICKNESS Led me to this.
NOTION SICKNESS split second forgiveness
Please read me star signs, I’m looking up for the guiding lights
I’m cold moving for words, shivering for color that shows of the earth
No way from back what you knew, life flash before you, do/didn’t do
The timing had to be right for sailing dark seas into the night.
NOTION SICKNESS Led me to this.
NOTION SICKNESS split second forgiveness
Those Hinterlands' at sea.....Hinterlands
Please force sleep and dream, finish the story evolving the scene
I’m cold no blanket or sun, starlite or fire, a black box and one
A way, in and way out, a notion in to action is all about
The timing has to be right for waking me up with all of your might.

Bad Hellos
Bad-Hellos, I’m so tired, tired of bad hellos
Can’t get no worse we might never, ever say good bye
What’s twice the curse we may , never ever learn to fly…wax melting high
Bad-Hellos, I’m so tired, tired of bad hellos.
The yellow slumbers cry for no one makes us late for yesterday
We forgot the lyrics, chorus, verses and them horses gone astray..Saddle up and stay
Bad-Hellos, I’m so tired, tired of bad hellos.
OH THROW A HELLO ON IT, A ROBOTO-GOPRO-DRONE BIT
I KNOW Exactly WHERE you are..
Oh no a hello happenin’ take off the bandage wrappn
I know exactly who WHO are…and where’s that scar…
So close to haters screaming anthems, and they always play that game
Taking roots from lonely people’s gardens, & them colors fade away…so plant a tree & stay.

REJUVIMAKING:
Ab-A- D -A (diag)
Your self esteem is,
boiling over
into the street
Looking backwards,
to move forwards
Away from heat
The heat had burned you
Charred and flaking
Internal quaking …Rejuvi-making
Your self-e-steam is
a loco-motive
Subconscious dream
Tracks to places
And scary faces,
Before never seen
Look in mirror
Finding creases/ Find increases
Iron out with….(steamy) Amazing graces

Right Mind

RIGHT MIND
I heard a little whisperin wind,
tell me that I’m her friend
and that I need to be kind,
to you and in the right mind
Invent a new bible verse
Divinely inspired hopes to find
A way from the hurt,
Growing up and out of the dirt.
Keep nothing between us
Cept’ a rope to, in the know
Everything can sync/sink us
Swimmin' to the flow
Reaching up for the sun
petals angled true to form
for colorforms fun
till the winter when it’s done
Cycle re-psychology
Thinking all straight to crooked lines
To make harmony
With two maybe three
CHORUS
Into the warm loving colors
Into the trees through the leaves that grow
Salad day seasons with others
In faded photos that bring us home bring us home
I heard a little whisperin' wind,
tell me that I’m your friend
and that I need to be kind
to you and in the right mind

Two Horns

TWO HORNS
Before this day is done you really ought to forget
Before it’s got you by two horns and you are led
G- Over green countryside and you’re only seein’ red
That sheen of amber waves can only hard-reset.
Two Horns, not Unicorns, crystals, or fairy dust lore’
Before your west wayz "won", consider those who’ve wept
All's built on an edifice of finder’s keeper’s kept.
G- Over the mountains boundless robber barron quest
The cleanse of clean air & water can only hard -reset
Two horns preserve-conserve, but self-serve you got some nerve.
Two Horns not Unicorns, crystals or fairy dust lore.
Two Horns Two Horns, keeping you up at night
Two Horns, Two Horns!
A matador's red cape in sight SWOOSH...(grunt grunt)
Two Horns Two Horns, keeping you up at night ( I can't sleep)
Two Horns, Two Horns!
A matador running from the sight! (for his life) now RUN!!!!
Two Horns grandchildren’s chore what are you living for?
OK, follow along in chronos...Here is what the singer is going through in the brain as he melodically sings the lyric and fleshes out the chords & solo.....
Thoughts will drive you bonkerz...wrangled by Dilemma? a dilemma you can't even conjure yet? A dilemma moving under your feet. Think of the earth, and the past 7 generations in every deliberation...not la la land all the time.(Crystals/fairly dust lore). Sheen of Amber waves (of grain) Our American evolving & transient values....Clean air and water. are devoid of any morality or value...so against what an acceptable compromise from initial synthesis of the US constitution (Iroquois input btw) They and other things are of the earth/universe....and ground us, not only visually, but to ingest and sustain ourselves. Green=Go, Red=Stop! Behold, listen and look!
The Indians/ Native people matter, take care of us to care and maybe we can cleanse ourselves again. People battle over preservation and conservation...both are reasonable and valid at times and places.
Change channel...I found myself in odd situations.... worked at the airport quite a few years ago...I met Trump with 14 year olds Donald Jr. and Ivanka once. A strange exchange indeed...those kids' feet did not touch our ground...saw with my own eyes.
I have had the strange fortune of wacky predicaments of being on board viewing Malcolm Forbes' superyacht the "Claybeth", conversed w/ Steve Wynn (the casino mogul), even rode in a car and spoke of law with Sandra Day O'Connor and also w/ Dan & Marilyn Quayle once..shit, even a shouting match w/F.Lee Bailey, in which I "won"... A few more somewhat influential people too. I learned' from some more than others needless to say...
Some of the 1% and aspirers attempt to ensure that grandchildren don't have to work/try to eke out a living, and this is...DEVO-lution! How do they sleep? This song compels "them" to lie awake in toil of the dilemma, a hex with figurative tooth pain, running from a bull !....in consideration of the rest of "us". (Syd Barrett says: "have you got it yet?") Sometimes I wake up and wanna knit a dragnet from Washington State to Baja and drag everyone back into the Atlantic to swim home....of course since I'm a halfbreed, I'm torn in half.
The chords and melody and arrangement are intrinsic to the design of this message. Ha, a classic case of the sentiment of the song is more than the song itself...sorry!

WHITE BUFFALO
Buffalo, Buffalo
Gallop in time, a hoofing rhyme
Drowns out your cries, with big brown eyes
And flowing hair, flowing where?
Buffalo, Buffalo
Leave behind, a trampled sky
~N~ clouds of dust, the air’s/heir’s a lie
And flowing where? EVERYWHERE!
Buffalo we’ll miss you, Matthew you’re here
Ground it rumbles, the music’s our ear
Buffalo, Buffalo
Your charging pace, through time and space
With thunderous roll, white buffalo
The changing role, white buffalo
Matthew we’ll miss you , Buffalo you’re here
Ground it rumbles, your music’s our ear.

Bethlehem
04:00
|
|||
Bethlehem will find her way out
hold olive branch with a hand of steel
Chinese sister throws up an ocean
and this strange exchange is clear
And when I find my way out, I'll make your days turn into years again.
And when I keep my head down, concentrate on pouring steel
Bethlehem will find her way out
a guiding star in constellation
The wanderlust of molten metal
to a form shape you and me
And if I lift my head up there ain't nothing I cant be
And while I keep my head down, concentrate on pouring steel
Bethlehem
Bethlehem will find her way out
Building up stories to hear
She's skyscrapin' and world tradin'
Building up glory revered
and if we find we're searchin'
then we know our steels' for real
and when I find i'm searchin' I will find myself right here
Bethlehem will find her way out
