Dictator Cap
03:26
|
|||
Goose-stepping down the hall
Just to make us feel small
Wearing your dictator cap
You’re looking mean in your fatigue green
While you’re stomping on our dreams
You never say it, you never say it
You never say it, but you say it
When you wear it, when you’re wearing that hat
Ooooh, Ooooh, Oooooh!
Dictator Cap!
You’re pretty eyes,
They cut me down to size
And your coup d’etat just won’t stop
And you overthrow
Now you know how it goes
Your memory gets short
You never say it, you never say it
You never say it, but you say it
When you wear it, when you’re wearing that hat
Ooooh, Ooooh, Oooooh!
Dictator Cap!
You never wanted war
You got that, and so much more
Now it’s gotten out of hand
The resistance you led
Has gone to your head
Now you’re eating the People’s bread
Look in the mirror now, it’s just what you feared so...
You never say it, but you say it
When you wear it, when you’re wearing that hat
Ooooh, Ooooh, Oooooh!
Dictator Cap!

Where You Going To, M’Friend?
This could be the start of something magical
Now all the gnomes are lost
In between pages of indescribable thoughts, where have they gone?
They only go to where
Dreams live and I
Won’t go where I
Can’t dream anymore, no more
Where You Going To, M’Friend?
Don’t say that this is the end of something lovable
Where are the witches’ homes
Won’t be described as something edible, or credible
They’re only where
Dreams live and I
Won’t go where I
Can’t dream anymore, no more
Where you going with this, m’friend?
Was there something more to what you said?
Where all your words are left
In sentences left with open ends, when will it end
It’d be the living end
To be where dreams live and I
Won’t go where I
Can’t dream anymore, no more

Mummy Honeyblood

Mummy Honeyblood, where you coming from?
Seeping through your bandages
Keeping all those things that you held so dear
You know you can’t use them here
Mummy Honeyblood, where’d you come from?
RIsing from the dead so sweet
Your bandages are wrung with the sweetest of love
Mollified honeyblood from your head to your feet
Don’t mean to make you blue (Mummy Honeyblood)
I tell you it’s true (Mummy Honeyblood)
There’s no over-and-backs (Mummy Honeyblood)
When you’re dead, that’s that (Mummy Honeyblood)
Mummy Honeyblood, where did it go wrong?
Weeping in your bandages
You want to collect those things that you find delectable
You know that ain’t what the answer is
Mummy Honeyblood, where have you gone now?
Hiding in your pyramid
Holding on so tight to what gets you through the night
Forgetting what the trouble really is
Don’t mean to make you blue (Mummy Honeyblood)
I tell you it’s true (Mummy Honeyblood)
There’s no over-and-backs (Mummy Honeyblood)
When you’re dead, that’s that (Mummy Honeyblood)
Mummy Honeyblood, what you cursing for?
What have you got on your mind?
Mummy Honeyblood, there you go jumping the gun
But, sometimes the truth ain’t so hard to find
Don’t mean to make you blue (Mummy Honeyblood)
I tell you it’s true (Mummy Honeyblood)
There’s no over-and-backs (Mummy Honeyblood)
When you’re dead, that’s that (Mummy Honeyblood)

Looking around, you get a feeling like there’s something wrong
There’s a smell in the air, like something from Denmark
Keep your ear to the ground and your eyes peeled back like an orange
Stare at it long enough, it’ll become just what you want
Matter over time
mind won’t matter in time
it’s only in our mind
we’re a time out of mind
If these trees could speak, they’d remind who we used to be
WIth rings so many and they’re too long in the teeth
Senility creeps over into our bloodstream
Harkening back to when memories were sweet

Make A Friend
03:10
|
|||
I know where his love grows
Down in the Gulf of Mexico
Between his heart and the lovely clime
Or something in the water that makes so kind
And y’know he’s a ray of sunshine
Make a friend and a grope a grouper tonight
He’s known as the friend of the sea
A warmer smile you’ll never feel
Just look into his cartoon eyes
His looney lips and his playful smile
And y’know he’s a ray of sunshine
Make a friend and a grope a grouper tonight
He’s traveling to and fro
In and out of wormholes
And if you’re lucky, y’know you might find
A grouper soul and an old smile
And y’know he’s a ray of sunshine
Make a friend and a grope a grouper tonight

Safari
02:31
|
|||
He’s the villain with the monocle
Stroking his fat cat white as snow
Like the kind that falls wintertime
He doesn’t blink with his blanket stare
Covering girls with his thoughts so bare-
Naked, oh, slipping through the sheets of his brain
His blazer borders on the edge of insane
A fashion faux pas with a sneaker rage
It’s so strange a turtle head poking out that way
He’s returned from a safari
From the Congo or the Serengeti
But, don’t ask my man just what he’s caught

Swimming The Witch
02:53

Swimming the witch, just to get to what’s true
Doesn’t prove nothing, but what a little drowning can do
Oooh, what a little drowning can do
Oooh, what a little drowning can do to you
If it floats, then you know what you got
Another hook to hang your deepest fears on
Don’t be surprised when the tables turn on you
Don’t be surprised when the curse turns on you
The devil’s in the details, but don’t let that derail
Your holy crusade, now keep them witches awake
No rest for the wicked, walk them all day
No rest for the wicked, walk them to near grave
Oooh, what a little drowning can do
Oooh, what a little drowning can do to you
Oooh, what a little drowning can do
Oooh, what a little drowning can do to you

Smirking On The Outside
03:45
|
|||
You got your own language and it carries so much baggage
No one understands a word that you said
And you’re pratting on and on, ‘til the sun come up in the morn
And we’re still right where we began
You got the wrong way of saying what’s on your mind
And now you, stand there smirkin’ on the outside
All the sounds that you’re eliding, with the thoughts that are colliding
On the battlefield inside of your head
Has left us bruised and bent, hobbled in the trench
And we still don’t know what you said
You got the wrong way of saying what’s on your mind
And now you, stand there smirkin’ on the outside
You got your own language and it carries no semblage
To anything I’ve heard in the past
Well, I’m no professor, but y’know I must confess that
These words aren’t making any sense
You got the wrong way of saying what’s on your mind
And now you, stand there smirkin’ on the outside
You got your own language and it carries so much baggage
No one understands a word that you said
Why do you refrain getting right down to the main
And you leave us filling up on bread
You got the wrong way of saying what’s on your mind
And now you, stand there smirkin’ on the outside

A Few Dollars More
03:11
|
|||
To wax poetic these songs that never breathed a life
Until they were song by the stolen thoughts that
Never were so hot as they are right now
Unload them while you can
Learn to get rid of the merchandise
We don’t mind (No we don't mind), we stole the wrongs from right
And sold them back at a criminal price
These are the days of the streetwise times
“When a few dollars more” is the credo pealing from every bell tower Sunday morn
And we’ve all been bought and sold more than once today
Well, y’know, it’s a common law and a common trade
We don’t mind, we stole the wrongs from right
And sold them back at a criminal price
To wax poetic these lights that never shined so bright
Until they were song by the broken-hearted ones
And there’s an advent of loss, some uncontrollable thought
That leaves you starless in your nocturnal word hunt
We don’t mind (No we don't mind), we stole the wrongs from right
And sold them back at a criminal price
This much is true, we’ve all cried rivers before
Streaming symphonies that tell us so much more
About all that we do, we think and we say
We sit and we pray as the saxes and the violins play
We don’t mind (No we don't mind), we stole the wrongs from right
And sold them back at a criminal price

Red Space Shuttle
02:59
|
|||
n the morning he’ll rise
And dust of his eyes and look where he slumbered
And he’ll be surprised by the queues of the alive
That are stepping over him
His red space shuttle landed
About where it does, night after night
He could use an hour or more
So, if everyone can keep it down
To a dull roar of a fire
As gracious as he seems
As toothless as he beams with all of his guile
That staggers beyond the lines that we’ve drawn
In society and all, yeah, he’s above them
His red space shuttle landed
About where it does, night after night
He could use an hour or more
So, if everyone can keep it down
To a dull roar of a fire
Decartes would be stunned
To learn that someone has smashed his doctrine
By living in between society and a dream
Yeah, it’s stunning, so very stunning
His red space shuttle landed
About where it does, night after night
He could use an hour or more
So, if everyone can keep it down
To a dull roar of a fire

Ghost Of A Skyline
02:52
|
|||
You walk down the streets I know
And ride all the buses where they don’t seem to go no more
You see me as an alien
Something from the future that you can’t comprehend
As this ghost rests on a skyline
My brain races to another time
(When everything was fine)
Her heart beats with a stop and go
I dig your skirt, baby, and the houndstooth flow
And the rhythm of your blues
No, no, that ain’t nothing you’d want to lose
As this ghost rests on a skyline
My brain races to another time
(When everything was fine)
Dynasties were meant to hold what’s true
But all that gold and beauty is going to go away too
To the West Coast without a word to say
To all those left behind in the riot’s wake
As this ghost rests on a skyline
My brain races to another time
(When everything was fine)
