Lost in time
Time for bed, lost in time
Dream awake
For goodness' sake, read Finnegan's Wake!
Lost in time
Sleep violence
Fantastic terror in the night
Grid-lined mind
Everything begins with white
Lost in time
Yeah!

Roses painted black
Alice in wonderland
Oh no
Texting all through the air
Visual poetry floats in here
Forms fading Cheshire cat
Syd laughs at mad cap laughs
Twinkle little bat
How I wonder where you're at
Flowers dipped in bleach
Philosophy of speech
Tears blur vision
Art is my religion
But god is first

Saving Michael
04:14
|

Alone in a forest sitting in a tree
Thinking about life and reality
Cars keep on passing no matter who's inside
While I'm sitting still, life passing me by, catch her in the rye
Messing up in school I don’t want to go
Stay at home and listen to David Bowie's "Low"
Getting out of bed is a chore
Cleaning up my room takes so much more
Saving Michael

Into the Wind

Don't you want love?
Don't you want to be loved?
No. I don't care.
All I want to do is stare into the wind.
Don't you want to start a family?
Don't you want to hold a baby?
No. I don't care
All I want to do is stare into the wind
Don't you want to hold the hand of a pretty girl?
Don't you want to feel her fingers as they curl?
No. I don't care.
All I want to do is stare into the wind.
We can't interfere with this one.
He's blind from looking at the sun.
Father says we can't intervene.
So just watch him as he bleeds.
Don't you want to be a rock star?
Don't you want to travel far?
Don't you want to be well-read?
Don't you want to be well-fed?
Don't you want to know what's going on in the Middle East?
Don't you want to confess your sins to a priest?
Don't you want to make love?
Don't you ever lift your head and look up above?
Don't you want to make peace with those who've made you angry?
Don't you want to jump out of a plane?
Don't you want to be a Plain Jane?
Into the wind

Runnin' on empty, I can no longer see
Life is a track meet and I've lost my feet
Man, you've lost it, the things you need the most
Man, you've lost it, the things you need most
I feel like death
Some fries and a Macbeth
If you had a dial telephone,
Would you call home?
The sound of a guitar takes me far from your love

Dark Room
04:23
|

Dark room, cloudy night
Blinding projector light
Thump goes the bass
Not a care on his face
7 flights of stairs
Graffiti spikes the air
No one makes a move
While he sits and broods
Closet balcony
Tells a million stories
Fog for a mile
Photographer asks for a smile
7 people on a ledge
Never been this close to death
Now it's time to go
But no, his friend wants one last go
It's the last dance
And he's lost in a trance
She wears him down
And he wears her out
She is so happy
That he wonders if he could be free
But she already has a love
But that doesn't stop her
From moving closer
To put her
Lips on his

Zombies!
Ooh baby!
They're coming for me
He wants my head, he is undead
Don't give no head, his face is red
Ate a cheek, scream don't speak
Sprung a hole, body leak
Freak!
Misunderstood poetry, lost in the world
Everyone's destiny
Two bodies lay, two people lie
Big-box highway under the broken sky
Are you ready to die?
He fell down to the ground
They shot him down
Down on the ground
He doesn't make a sound
You fell down to the ground
I shot you down
They shot us down
We don't make a sound
I said I'm on the fucking ground
I fell down to the ground

Ixnay on the man on the corner
He says, she says, he wants to bone her
I don't know, you don't know, we don't know
Her ego is dead
I said, you said, let's get together
You think, I shrink when you kiss a lover
My lips, your face, let's make a place for me
And you, sniff glue, naked in the sun
I know, you know, she knows, I fly

I got the world on my mind
Ubiquitous all the time
Everything nothing love infallible
Art commercial, Jimmy Fallible
Pop goes the culture, the weasels say
Postmodernism smells cliché
So does everything else but you gotta' be clear if you want to sell
And I just wanna' know
What is it that makes 2 + 2 make 4?
I find learning to be a bore, chore, more, anymore
Forever more be bliss lost to the winds of Al Gore
Subliminal artistic, what is it?
If you touch it, you will twist it
Aesthetics highest, meaning second
Responsibility, I reckon
I sacrifice my work to art
Hipster Moses, make the Ivory Towers part
So I can start my ascension to Sacred Heart
And even though I can't articulate outside of my mind
It doesn't mean that I am out of my mind
Thought provoking is my thought process
So much so that each idea causes me stress
I need to see your face
To remind me of my place
Step away baby, don't come near
Haven't you heard? You can catch the drear
But you and me, me alone
Burn your hair and watch you moan
Then you run, run to me
I love you and you love me
Divine love painted black
Questioning the past is looking back
A pillar gone, blew into salt
Adam and Eve claim no fault
Neither do I, why do I live?
Because of an act two people give
She was not my love affair
Shrew taming has lost its heir

I've got those dead flower blues
I went to you with my dancing shoes
but you didn't see me
Get out of the car
I am your north star
I don't want to go too far
I want your mouth
And I'm going south
and it's a little dusty
You're a little rusty
but it's okay because I love you baby

Hi
I don't have much to say
except baby, I wanna' touch you there
Oh, my little girl
Rebecca, I like you
Even though I haven't met you
I think you're pretty
I think you're nice
But tell me baby, I don't wanna' play you too nice
I wanna' fuck you

Stream into you
Anne Heche flows into the red room
I don't want to give
What I don't have
I don't want you to
Leave me alone unless I tell you to
Why do you kill your voice?
Because I’m yours
You're
I want you
I need you

Baltimore

Baltimore is the place he was born and the place he was gonna' stay
Till he met the girl from around the way
Now he don't know what to say
She was the man with the plan way down in LA
Till she met the boy from around the way
Now she just don't know what to say
He moved up there just to touch her hair and look in her eyes
Now he's in for a big surprise
Now she knows what to say
He threw everythin' to the wind because he loved her so
Watch her puckered lips blow him away
Watch him go
