Standing In Your Shadow

All the live long night
All the live long day
All the live long while
All the live long way…oh yeah
If you turn me away
girl you know I’m a stay
Standing in your shadow
until the sun goes away
until the sun goes away
In the blackest white
darker than the noon
Queen of endless night
goddess of the moon…oh yeah
If you turn me away
Girl you know I’m a stay
Standing in your shadow
until the sun goes away
until the sun goes away
Standing in your shadow
until the sun goes away
until the sun goes away
If you turn me away
Girl you know I’m a stay
Standing in your shadow
until the sun goes away
until the sun goes away

Out In The Rain
03:40
|
|||
|
After the storms, you’re 1 and done
you’ll never see her silver smile again
(get yourself out of the rain!)
After the floods in your bloody duds
and the single double rust will leave a stain
(get yourself out of the rain!)
If you smell rain on a summer day, far away
It tastes like death and jubilation
You push that machine down the avenue as fast you can
Sometimes your destiny deletes your destination
Out in the street, the wet concrete
the drivers slip and slide on hydroplanes
(get yourself out of the rain!)
Even the glass, reflects the past
a drop of sorrow keeps it self-contained
(get yourself out of the rain!)
It’s 60 degrees and the rainbow grease
in the streets like a rancid roast beef marinade
(get yourself out of the rain!)
Slivers of skin on the asphalt when
you were drifting in and out and in and out again
(get yourself out of the rain!)
If you smell rain on a summer day, far away
It tastes like death and jubilation
You push that machine down the avenue as fast you can
Sometimes your destiny deletes your destination
I, I left my, I left my skin on the street
Fresh red meat, half stuck
Still stuck in the car seat…Can you feel it?
Can you feel the fillet on the concrete sideways?
On the rhinestone Fridays?
On the rain soaked highways?
On the blood-stained midnight roadside graves?

Dandelion
03:22
|
|||
|
I’m feeling fantastic
I got a feeling that I’ve never felt before
Not a single distraction
I think I’m living on a very differential world
I could do this everyday
I could do this all the time
I could dream a lower low
I can…I can probably transcend time
Dandelion…Dandelion
Recognize without your eyes
and turn the light off
Cut it loose, pretend you’re Zeus
you take your shoes off
Put a dime into your mind
to shake the blues off
But every day is thrown away
I need another, and another day
I sure miss my family
But they could never understand
the motives I decree
Lost in the motions
I mean I’m wondering if the motive’s
also lost on me
Abstract redemption
Ahh this is just proving me right
Dancing in the morning
Jamming in the afternoon
Cooking through the evening time
But I always feel confined
inside the shelter of a residue

When The Fun Stops
02:34
|
|||
|
I lost at keno
but I won at roulette
Then I lost all that money
on a come bet.
I lost my wallet
or at least what’s inside
Listen my, brother.
can you spare a dime and a dime and a dime
any dime any time
Never get it back, never gonna win it back
No, I’m never gonna ever put a 20 on a red and black
Ever since I found a way to make my money back,
they said I’ll more than likely never ever win it back
I lost on Indians
I lost on Chiefs
I lost on the Redskins
on a safety.
I lost on blackjack,
I felt supersick
She gave me a queen
and then a 6.
Never get it back, never gonna win it back
No, I’m never gonna ever hit a 20 on a 3 and jack
Ever since I found a way to make my money back,
they said I’ll more than likely never ever win it back
I lost my paycheck
Casino Royale
I lost on the James Bond slot
and some pai gow
I lost cuz my judgement
it lost its appeal
But the one thing I did win
isn’t even real, real, real nice

1,000 Years
04:02
|
|||
|
American sass, critical mass “twenty-twenty”
futuristic blues and tropical bop
Out on the fringe, nobody wins “ain’t no trophies”
ain’t no motherfuckin novelty shops
But this how we blast…from the 21st century to the very last
This how we blast…from the 21st century to the very last
We are measuring the distance, between colors in the rainbow
Let the spectrum turn to music, through the prism on the window
Can you hear me crystal clearly…in your ears?
Can you feel me blasting through the atmosphere?
But this how we blast…from the 21st century to the very last
Casio/git, triple the wit… “tape recorder”
Taking orders from the soil below
Word to the wise, personalize “think about it”
No redemption in the status quo.
In a thousand years from now, if somebody hears this song?
Is it tragic because it’s true, or more tragic cuz we’re gone…long gone? (long gone)
We got the message that you sent us from your mezzanine
Acropolitika you found inside a magazine
We got this setup, we like this setup
A verbal bladder bursting
bloated and bloviating
gotta get it out
A misinterpretation,
mismatching vacillation
A long forgotten nation
This is how we blast…from the 21st century to the very last

Waiting For Me
03:38
|
|||
|
I rode the horse onto
the tail of the comet
You said you’d be waiting
the day I return
And all that I ever
could try and remember,
is how you were crying
with tears from your tear duct
Night will fall
and adhere to protocol
Put your bottles on the wall
so the sunrise shimmers inward
Just promise me one thing
and keep your blood pumping
You’re better than I am
when everything’s crumbling
And if we ain’t immortal
let’s slip through the portal
And find our way homeward
to wander like ghosts
Night will fall
and adhere to protocol
Put your bottles on the wall
so the sunrise shimmers inward

Suck Out All The Color
04:05
|
|||
|
They say we’re living in a jungle
and I got to admit I kind of feel like an animal
Looking out for bird of prey
as we’re eating the flesh and the meat off a vertebra
It’s getting crowded in the fast lane
It’s the only way out from the bottom of the food chain
I should be looking for a shelter
cuz the sky opened up from the moment that I felt her
How’d you get your hand in mine?
How’d you get your mind inside of my mind?
In my mind
There was once a time when I could separate the blues (from red) …oh
But you neutralized the luster
you wasted the whole summer
when you sucked out all the color
I don't want to live my whole life
with my foot in the dirt and my hand on my pocket knife
When you’re living in the shadows
and your mood swings till the night unravels
Every moment is a splendor
from the fifth of June to the seventh of November
Should have never been in my mind
cause the memory burns in a permanent outline
How’d you get your hand in mine?
How’d you get your mind inside of my mind?
Suck Out all the Color
From my mind…From my mind…From my mind
You wasted the whole summer when you sucked out all the color
suck out all the color
oooh…no no no no no
Now you’re gonna suck out all the…
Suck out all the color from my mind
From my mind

If you ever forgot me (girl)
I’ll be standing on the clouds in the sky…hey
Pseudosexual alpha
bluebird cabinet delta
earthquake futuristic…tic…tic…tick…
If you ever forget my name
I’ll be standing on the back of your neck…oh yeah

Dead Generation
03:03
|
|||
|
A fake tan…computer brand
a quart of milk, it’s made of sand
It’s made of hands, eyes from a butterfly
a Gemini borrowed from The King and I
And me and you, the perfect two
A wet sock, a shuttlecock
a shuttle bus, for each of us
acting on a primal lust
Nothing happened in my generation
Nothing happened in your generation
What’s the big deal with a Dead Generation?
We’re better cuz the last ones are deader than the rest of us
Nothing happened in my generation
Nothing happened in your generation
What’s the big deal with a Dead Generation?
We’re better cuz the last ones are deader than the rest of us

Immortality
03:18
|
|||
|
For so long they walk this planet
paranoid and charismatic
Marching thru the streets of Paris
triple vulgar, double garish
Immortality - on and on and on and on
I wanna live, I wanna live!
Immortality - on and on and on and on
I wanna live, I wanna live long
I am special anyway
Enchanted by the belly dancer
Sammy Davis Jr. concert
Everybody lose, when they cut em loose, blacker than a bruise
Who will clean up the machines? The machines will
I wanna live and sometimes I wanna die
even when it feels like things are going all right
And the sunshine feels like kryptonite
it lets me know that I am simply something that will fade away
To think that immortality was something I could be
I am special anyway
I wanna live, I wanna die
no, I’m pretty sure I definitely wanna live,
I just don’t wanna die until I understand the meaning of life
Immortality - on and on and on and on
I wanna live, I wanna live!
Immortality - on and on and on and on
I wanna live, I wanna live long
I am special anyway
Immortality - on and on and on and on
I wanna live, I wanna live long
I am special anyway
I am special anyway
Immortality - on and on and on and on
I wanna live, I wanna live long
I am special anyway

If You See Marie
03:08
|
|||
|
Down in the panhandle land
million miles from origin
Tonic grins lead to sins
lovers, mainly with others child
if you knew
Raised in wild
he could do
Mother died
would you stay forever and ever
Buried under the hickory
When you see Marie…
If you see Marie
Send her my regards,
even though her body is buried in the yard.
No one will ever know
Nobody saw me there
Bear hug your body
Buddy, our love is godly
God, He
told me to kiss you right
To take you from Grace that night
Now you are free girl
Out of the ground and back
into the world
Fly with Marie, now
Out in the world and around you go
All the way

Papier-mâché
02:31
|
|||
|
I just gave a shrug
swept it under the rug
Everything I loved
Shadows in the shade
hearts will turn into spades
Sorrows on parade
If you give me some skin
then I might let you in
My summer mausoleum
(pyramid of Giza)
If you wanted a show
I know just where to go
the public coliseum
(Julius Caesar)
There are people made of
papier-mâché
Wrapped in newspaper skin
and digital faces
Surely, you’ll become that way
if you don’t breathe more than two time a day
(at… least that’s what the psychiatrist say)
And if you still have doubts
that time is running out
Have a cigar and some champagne
Buy a new car and some cocaine
