Concrete Hell

put a drum in your face
a T tuba in your head
with a trombone in your mouth head towards the south
boxing gloves never made love
like a fiddle playing saddle blazing dove
push the buttons over your ears
leaving room for nothing but rubber bands in your hands
look out the window we're in a concrete hell a concrete hell
tambourine pillows plug up the holes in the wall
and it's better than the putty they sell at the mall
uh huh i still go to the mall
wrap a cord around your neck!
starfish trouble is doubled when xylephone sticks fly
... through ... the ... air you pipe head!
jump out the window we're in a concrete hell a concrete hell
you could call this gong nose pros
throw peaches in the air
and watch lightning strike my mad scientist hair
improvising's nirvana you dapper alligator cowboy rock & roller
you rock & roller
break the window we're in a concrete hell a concrete hell
a concrete hell
a concrete hell

Ma Blond

We met at a friendly bar on 6th street
I got off the stage she asked me had she taken my seat
Ma blond is my girlfriend
Ma blond is my girlfriend
Ma blond is my girlfriend
Ma blond is my girlfriend
I said no I’m alone
she said if so come sit in my lap
We had a few drinks and then we kissed
right after that
Ma blond is my girlfriend
Ma blond is my girlfriend
Ma blond is my girlfriend
Ma blond is my girlfriend
She invited me up to her room for a beer and a chat
A few more things might’ve happened I’m still lost in her grasp
Ma blond is my girlfriend
Ma blond is my girlfriend
Ma blond is my girlfriend
Ma blond is my girlfriend
Ma blond
Ma blond
Ma blond

Love Insanity
04:05
|
|||
|
she took me for my first
christened me in a field of blue bonnets
a Texas baptism in the most outrageous of churches they’re all outrageous though,
those soul saving corporate
pope castles
my church is the sky of rainbows flooding the earth after a post apocalyptic meltdown
of love insanity
we embraced insanity
and made love to each other
through stories of sharks, dreams,
people, and pie
sweet apple pie, the kind you’d find in a ginger bread house only the wicked witch would ever feed you
after she stole your soul, locked it in a box
and tossed the key down her elizabethan bosom
this is the church in the sky of rainbows flooding the earth after a post apocalyptic meltdown
of love insanity
this story will be televised, interrupted, deconstructed, and hypothesized
in red lights, feathers, words of wisdom, technology, biology, and artistic creativity
this is the book of soul
this is my church in the sky of rainbows flooding the earth after a post apocalyptic meltdown of love insanity

Sophisticated Gentleman
03:18
|

|
Why can’t i be stoned
chasing dots in the back of my head
it’s a careless world
and I'm fighting for nothing but my own self destruction
Why can’t i be drunk
scribbling poetry lines that don’t make any sense
lighting cigarettes with style reserved for the most
sophisticated of gentleman
Why can’t i be a sycophant,
playing music suits me, can't you see my genius?
nice tie, nice car,
hey you, you’re pretty nice
Why can’t i be the underground sensation
that bursts onto the mainstream
i’ve been waiting, waiting, waiting,
i want my picture to be taken
why can’t i be these things
why? why can’t I?
why can’t i be these things?
why can’t i be these things?

Faces

|
i bide my time in old places
with pretty faces
it's never the same
except for the changing spaces
i've got one little suitcase just enough to finish the race
i grew up with big city dazes
across different faces
i feel insanely lonely
i still live with the traces
i've got one little suitcase is it enough to finish the race
my life is empty in phases
but surrounded by faces
happy, sad, jovial, rounded lovely faces
