Marculations

Something’s familiar to me
They don’t have to know

Swift and contained and caught up in life so you never can land
Your genius/beauty it hits me like dirt in the face and you can’t understand
All I have ever wanted was just to be able to stand on my own

You save all your problems for me, they don’t have to know
We can hide in the hilltops and graves, they don’t have to know
You come here on your own with cancers and perfume
And five o’clock in the afternoon is heaven and endless

Cursed and betrayed and forced to be strong on these hard iron wings
Wizards and scientists left on their own shouldn’t play with these things
Now we are running away and who knows what the future will bring, on our own
We are left to survive on our own.

And the mausoleums perched so high above the city can be fun in the right amount of sun
And a certain amount of technology has pricked your curiosity
And a certain amount of persecution has curiously invaded your mind
And I tried to be the hero but I screwed it all up in the end
And now we’re in the midst of this whole great global war
When five o’clock in the afternoon is heaven and endless

They won’t come here for me
I covered up everything so carefully
They got exactly what they deserved
All I get is this guilt

I have sacrificed everything and now I am cursed by these iron wings
But at least I am not alone
While I watch the city burn below

Something’s familiar to me
They don’t have to know

Heaven and Endless

We got the afternoon
You got this room for two
One thing I’ll have to do
Discover me
Discovering you

One mile to every inch of
Your skin like porcelain
One pair of candy lips and
Your bubblegum tongue

And if you want love
We’ll make it
Swim in a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break ‘em
This is bound to be awhile

Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I’ll use my hands)
Your body is a wonderland

Something ’bout the way your hair falls in your face
I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase
You tell me where to go and
Though I might leave to find it
I’ll never let your head hit the bed
Without my hand behind it

You want love?
We’ll make it
Swim in a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break ‘em
This is bound to be a while

Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I’ll use my hands)
Your body is a wonderland

Damn baby
You frustrate me
I know you’re mine all mine all mine
But you look so good it hurts sometimes

Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I’ll use my hands)
Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonderland

Your Body is a Wonderland

You had something to hide
Should have hidden it, shouldn’t you
Now you’re not satisfied
With what you’re being put through

It’s just time to pay the price
For not listening to advice
And deciding in your youth
On the policy of truth

Things could be so different now
It used to be so civilised
You will always wonder how
It could have been if you’d only lied

It’s too late to change events
It’s time to face the consequence
For delivering the proof

In the policy of truth

Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before

Now you’re standing there tongue tied
You’d better learn your lesson well
Hide what you have to hide
And tell what you have to tell
You’ll see your problems multiplied
If you continually decide
To faithfully pursue
The policy of truth

Never again
Is what you swore
The time before

I wrote her off for the tenth time today
And practiced all the things I would say
But she came over
I lost my nerve
I took her back and made her dessert
Now I know I’m being used
That’s okay man cause I like the abuse
I know she’s playing with me
That’s okay cause I’ve got no self esteem
We make plans to go out at night
I wait till 2 then I turn out the light
All this rejection’s got me so low
If she keeps it up I just might tell her so
When she’s saying that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she’s saying that I’m like a disease

Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well I guess I should stick up for myself
But I really think it’s better this way
The more you suffer
The more it shows you really care Right?
Now I’ll relate this a little bit
That happens more than I’d like to admit
Late at night she knocks on my door
Drunk again and looking to score
Now I know I should say no
But that’s kind of hard when she’s ready to go
I may be dumb
But I’m not a dweeb
I’m just a sucker with no self esteem

I’m seeing this girl and she just might be out of her mind
Well she’s got baggage and it’s all the emotional kind
She talks about closure and that validation bit
I don’t mean to be insensitive, but I really hate that shit
Oh man she’s got issues
And I’m gonna pay
She thinks she’s the victim
Yeah
Now I know she’ll feel abandoned
If I don’t stay over late
And I know she’s afraid to commit
But it’s only our second date
Oh man she’s got issues
And I’m gonna pay
She thinks she’s the victim
But she takes it all out on me
I don’t know why you’re messed up
I don’t know why your whole life is a chore
Just do me a favor
And check your baggage at the door
Now she talks about her ex nonstop, but I don’t mind
But when she calls out his name in bed
That’s where I draw the line
You told me a hundred times how your father left and he’s gone
But I wish you wouldn’t call me daddy
When we’re gettin’ it on
Oh man she’s got issues
And I’m gonna pay
She’s playing the victim
And taking it all out on me
My god she’s got issues
And I’m gonna pay
If you think I’m controlling
Then why do you follow me around
If you’re not co-dependent
Then why do you let others drag you down
I don’t know why you’re messed up
I don’t know why your whole life is a chore
Just do me a favor
And check your baggage at the door

Shut your eyes
See the future’s distant shore
March ahead
More enlightened than before
And there’s sure to be bumps and distractions
but I know we’ll get through
There will be me, there will be you
There will be a way
Unresolved repercussions from your life
Fortified with the vitriol of strife
And you can be gridlocked by predictions,
But you’re wise grab the prize
Then revise, realize
there will be a way
Hey… Ho
And I don’t know where we are going
but we’re here on this ride
And we’ll stand side by side
all along the way
Follow me to the future’s distant shore
Vagary needn’t haunt us anymore
And now it’s time to set the agenda,
Learn the past, make it last
Share the wealth, hold your fire,
conserve life, make it right
kill the hate, negotiate
There will be a way

There Will Be A Way

Transfixated on the big blue screen
its your window to the outside
a melancholy dream
a medium upon which you build reality
this episodic currency
that everybody needs
somebodies delivery lulls you to sleep
the man behind the weather map
the editor in chief
they control two worlds
power and disease
and you cannot supress you curiosity
but see it’s only entertainment
superficial urgency
posterboard mentality
only entertainemnt
tightly constrained
the buzz that remains
is the story of how we run our lives
many our the people poor and suffering
from the lack of coverage
from the transmission beam
and if it ever gets there
you’ll be offended too
’cause you cannot distinguish
chicanery from truth
see it’s only entertainment
a superficial episode
as life continues to unfold
only entertainment
controlled and copied
they’ve planted the seed
that sprouts into your picture of the world
can’t someone protect me (turn away, turn away)
from this electron beam?
hey you, Mr. FCC
have you no advice for me?
its your window to the outside

We’d hit the bottom,
I thought it was my fault
And in a way I guess it was
I’m just now finding out
What it was all about

Moved to the west coast away from everyone
She never told me that you called
Back when I was still, I was still in love

Till I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it’s bye-bye, goodbye, I tried
And I twisted it wrong just to make it right
Had to leave myself behind
I’ve been flying high all night
So come pick me up…I’ve landed

The daily dramas she made from nothing
So nothing ever made them right
She liked to push me and talk me back down
Until I believed I was the crazy one,
and in a way
I guess I was…

But I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it’s bye-bye, goodbye I tried
Treading a sea of a troubled mind
Had to leave myself behind
Singing bye-bye, goodbye I tried

If you wrote me off I’d understand it
Because I’ve been on some other planet
So come pick me up…
I’ve landed

And you will be so
happy to know
I’ve come alone,
it’s over

But I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it’s by my goodbye I tried
Down comes the reign of the telephone czar
It’s OK to call
Now I’ll answer for myself

Come pick me up,
…I’ve landed

Landed

A new age of reason
Brain treason to trick the mind
What good is searching
if nothing’s there to find
We arrive at this place
of no return my brothers
Only to discover that our minds have led us away
so far from the painful truth
of who we are

What’s right is wrong
what’s come has gone
what’s clear and pure is not so sure
It came to me
All promises become a lie
all that’s benign corrupts in time
The fallacy
of Epiphany

Come forth bear witness
see the profit from your loss
Beg for forgiveness
only after you tally the cost
We arrive at this place
of no return my sisters
Only to discover that our values ran us aground
on the shoal in the sea of what
we could be

What’s right is wrong
what’s come has gone
what’s clear and pure is not so sure
It came to me
All promises become a lie
all that’s benign corrupts in time
The fallacy
of Epiphany

If it’s real for me do I have to prove it to you
Why do revelations fade to cold blue untruths
It’s oh so relative
Subservient in total to one’s perspective

What’s right is wrong
what’s come has gone
what’s clear and pure is not so sure
It came to me
All promises become a lie
all that’s benign corrupts in time
The fallacy
of Epiphany
Always failing me

We are all on our own with no one by our side
You are so lucky, beautiful and bright
All the cool kids go steady they’re making out at 12-
we sit in our rooms alone
by ourselves it’s Friday- no phone call, nobody asked us out

We are the dateless losers- lonely until we die!
So unappreciated, why, why, why, why?

We’re not so bad you know, but you won’t give us a chance
Take us to the movies, to dinner, or to dance
Not perfect, not too hip- but we need lovin’ too

We are the dateless losers- lonely until we die!
So unappreciated why, why, why, why?
