Silver Miles

Here's a mirror go compare
a little while but don't stay there
your'e drawin lines to a valley of soul
and that ain't your place now....don't ya know?
Hear the mute in a monologue
through Silver Miles in a fog
in those yellow minutes you've stayed so smart
you've become now, what you thought
(and what you thought was real)
break (Am shape w/ bassnotes F-F#-F)
Through the mine fields with a blind mans' rod
they walk on eggshells with their god
Forbidden fruit in the apple cart
there's many truths' cross my gypsy heart
Those one arm bandits are stealin' hugs
spend a pension on prescription drugs
c'mon stop hey, what's that sound?
Are you linear or round and round?
(so won't you come around?)

Apologies to France
04:17

Convincing the French that I’m sorry
Were living in times, so angry
I think it’s time that I feel a little you
Im drinking your wine, the white red and blue
Convincing the French that I’m worried
We’re living our lives so hurried
An Eiffels’ an eyeful and Im looking for you
And you are French baby kiss me Oui-ooh
I apologize…The forest is thick,
but I see through the Bushs’ and I’m not that quick
Convincing the French that I mean it
So here is a song, can you feel it?
I’m writing my wrongs and I’m feeling brand new
And out near the east river's a beautiful statue!
Convincing the rest that I’m sorry…It’s gonna take TIME and MONEY

Crystal Ball

He saw a rainbow in you, but what I saw was a see saw
Others show colors so true, your bringing grays down with darker hues
She lived life in a crystal ball, and with one shake a million snowflakes
He saw her spectrum and Gaul, and he rolled with change and knew her neighbors
MAKE UP YOUR MIND NOW, WHAT IS RIGHT?
FORWARDS BACKWARDS< LEFT OR RIGHT?
MAKE UP YOUR MIND NOW, WHAT IS RIGHT...RIGHT..wrong?
The squares tri (y)-angles to make their points, but that prism was a prison.
The lights forms particles and waves, false crystals and false crystals
Well, MAKE UP YOUR MIND NOW, WHAT IS RIGHT?
FORWARDS BACKWARDS< LEFT OR RIGHT?
MAKE UP YOUR MIND NOW, WHAT IS RIGHT...RIGHT! WRONG!
He saw a rainbow in you, but what I saw was a see saw x2

Dreamsurreal/So real
03:28
|

|
He walked out, the way he walked in,
and in doubt he’d do it again
The slick will be slidin’
to places where they have been…
Hey everybody, have your heard?
He got the news…of the world
A Queen is the King now,
A rise in the Mercury again…
Dreams so real there right,
Dreams surreal tonight… Tonight
Paying the pauper with quarterly gains,
Fire in ash can put out with rains
Excess to regress
When kids’ feet don’t run on the plains…
Scanning the coastlines of our latitude
longing for changes in attitude
Fromms' in the masses
from amber grasses to moon!
Dreams so real there right,
Dreams surreal tonight. Tonight

Happy in some ways
02:24
|
|||
|
What in the world did you say to her to make her feel so bad,?
What in the heavens did you do to her? Threw her in the trash
Happy is a ways away, but I’m Happy in some ways today.
Books and records surround you now, fasten your bible belt
Books and records all around you now, remember how you felt
Happy is a ways away, but I’m Happy in some ways today.
BREAK
Take a walk outside and you are closer to the way
Take a walk on down to find, the top of the day
Happy is a ways away, but I’m Happy in some ways today.
What in the world did you do with it, that happiness and pain?
What in the world did you forget……….To start a new again?
Happy is a ways away, but I’m Happy in some ways today.

Police Carz

Police Cars, following me,
Police Cars everywhere I see…
I can’t relax until I see,
that hungry land Shark sail away from me..
I’ve got scars from authority,
Been behind bars since my infancy
Won’t tolerate brutality,
I just stay hid anonymity …
SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT WE NEED EM’
AND SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT WE DON’T
ALLS’ I KNOWS’ WHEN I SEE EM’
I GET THAT BIG LUMP IN MY THROAT
Police cars morals through money
Police cars guns and ego on me
I TOTALLY RELATE TO ANARCHY
POLICE CARS I LOVE MDC
CRACKING THE BLUE CODE OF SILENCE
WITH COLUMBO AND KISS’S LOVE GUN
you FIX HUMAN FRAILTY W/ VIOLENCE
MY CAMCORDER’S NOT JUST FOR FUN…

Red Red Roses

Red Red Roses, under your shoes
Red Red Roses, I guess I lose
I understand its’ quality
I guess I get that it aint me
No regrets and No pity
For initiatin’ plurality
Red Red Roses…
Stomped into soil violently
I have to learn some botany
So that the flowers can be given again
For future lover, future friend
Red Red Roses….
SOLO
RED RED ROSE WATCH WHERE IT GOES
RED RED ROSE UP ON MY TOES
RED RED ROSE, WISHES AND DREAMS
RED RED ROSE TORN AT THE SEAMS….
Red Red Roses……
And each little red rose grows alone
To give them up front takes back bone
And there’s no question where there from
But where they end, up a wars’ been won.
RED RED ROSE WATCH WHERE IT GOES……..

Scirocco

Come get to know me, your ship has come in
Spice, silk and goldie, the Errol of Flynn
The far east is best, flowing out river mouth
Bobbing like cork, in the seas way down south
The lines that you pull for a sea-kindly hull…
Come get to know me, your ship has come in
Priceless the cargo the paintings of wind
The wild west gone crass from crows nest on mast.
Thousands of white caps on waves that have passed.
The lines that you pull for a sea-kindly hull…
Come get to know me, your ship has come in
Spice, silk and goldie, the Errol of Flynn
The far east is best, like the roof of her mouth Bobbing like a cork, in the seas way down south
The lines that you pull for a sea-kindly hull…x2

Silverback

Got a little Monkey,
now full fledged Silverback
The Seconds minutes and the hours fly
Time is truly an abstract
And behind your eyes it comes as no surprise….
Latched on long ago,
when tides began to ebb and flow
Was history made w/ milky sea,
the dreams are so misty.
And behind your eyes it comes as no surprise….
Unpeel the mighty digits
Distract so carefully
And if we’re gentle in our approach
We’ll both live to be free.
And behind your eyes it comes as no surprise….
Got a little monkey,
turned full fledged silverback
allegories and cave dwellers
And no one can go back
And behind your eyes it comes as no surprise….

Woke up at dawn got the Radio on, I wanna dance but not to this song
I’m waitin’ for the radio man to say, that I don’t have to go to school today
I DON’T HATE SCHOOL, I JUST DON’T WANT TO GO
I’D RATHER HONE MY SOCIAL SKILLS IN THE SNOW
RUN AND GLIDE ACROSS THE ICE
WITH JUST A WARM COAT AS MY ONLY VICE
I CAN GRAB A SLEIGH AND GO OUT TO PLAY
DODGE A SNOWBALL IF IT COMES MY WAY
DIDN’T GET IT ALL THERES MORE TO DO,
MAYBE WELL HAVE OFF TOMORROW TOO,
WAIT FOR THE WORDS AFTER THIS SONG
AND PUT MYSELF WHERE I BELONG..
I CAN GRAB A SLEIGH AND GO OUT TO PLAY
DODGE A SNOWBALL IF IT COMES MY WAY
Woke up at dawn got the Radio on, I wanna dance but not to this song
I’m waitin’ for the radio man to say, that I don’t have to go to school today

So Obvious
03:24
|
|||
|
Don't you wanna know everything there is to know about your human tragedy?
The dawning drama heavy trauma, I don't wanna be on your train heading to sea
and be obvious so obvious, no mystery
I'm Saving the funnies for the Mondays, carrying tons of these feelings with me every week.
Why hide a lil quiet whistle? come on over nestle underneath my branches and leaves.
Not so obvious so obvious no mystery
You don't have to say where you hide. You came before you arrived. Your inside is so outside, so obvious there is a lie.
We see another simple color, it hits me hard oh brother, I can't put my opinions to sleep. I wished you coulda pushed away your dish, but I see your hungry there's an ego to feed.
Your so obvious...so obvious, trick or treat...not discreet, no mystery...
