Here are the Words.....
1986 01 Primemover
Flash, Bang, Here we go
Energy Mass and the Immortal Soul
Everything came from nothing, or so weve been told,
And into what, does it grow?
These are the things,
We may never know
A lattice of strings make the smallest things
Occupying a higher dimension, or so it's belived
And information bending space, to appear in another place
a path we humans are still trying to trace
These are the things
We may never see
Incomplete transcripts of my sensory feedback
reveals that much is concealed
Am I a spark in matter
or is my fate sealed
Questions of morality are subject to objectivity
and values differ around the world
but if most obeyed "do unto others",
there may not be another war
This is the thing
That will never be
Incomplete transscripts of my sensory feedback
reveals that much is concealed
I find the deeper I dig
The more confused I feel
2008 02 Passion
I inhale I ingest I inhabit
A three dimensional world, whose origins we can not fathom
I take in the exterior, to power my machine
Which allows me to experience, all that can be held and seen
I move like water through water
A part of everything
But I have free will The ether is not so dense
As long as I don't let my passions over come commonsense
I keep on hearing about original sin
But I can't help the body I'm in
No more than I can chose the colour of my eyes
it's in how we interact that the way to salvation lies
I inhale I ingest I inhabit
A three dimensional world, whose origins we can not fathom
I take in the exterior, to power my machine
Which allows me to experience, all that can be held and seen
Open oceans of sand, can be tamed by man
The storm will let you build, but time decides what stands
I keep on hearing about original sin
But I can't help the body I'm in
No more than I can chose the colour of my eyes
it's in how we interact that the way to salvation lies
I keep on hearing about original sin
But I can't help the body I'm in
No more than I can chose the colour of my skin
where you end up dosn't have to be where you begin.
2005 03 Superpredator
She stalks her prey in the night
A panther, on the scent of fright
She's one with the shadows
And moves with the wind
Let the killing begin
And when she moves in for the kill
It's just for food, not the thrill
She let's the moon light the way
And it marks her time, while she stalks her prey
Paticence brings the day
and for their lack of viligance, part of the herd will pay
And when she moves in for the kill
It's just for food, not the thrill.
The beast of the plains
move to and fro, like blood through veins
And the hunters know they'll never deviat
all exist to participate
And all the creatures watch
the final moments of the chase,
And as the cat, finishes her work
the stillness,
extends to space....
2006 04 Sing along
I'm not the kind of guy that will try to make you see things my way
won't try to sell you something, you don't need today
I'm happy just to be, on my own, way
so keep on rolling if you got nothing good to say
And I can't write a song, that makes you wanna, sing along
No slick lines to blow your mind, never alter the way things really are
not gonna sell you the moon, nor steal the light from the stars
And I can't write a song, that makes you wanna, sing along
Well I'm not the kind of guy that will try to make you see things my way
I'm happy just to play Guitar all day
And I'm content just to be, this way
Theres a little bit of sadness woven through everything I play
And I can't write a song, that makes you wanna, sing along
1990 05 Blind
I don't want to die
But to see your reaction
And your so selfish
You'd just be glad it happened
Crippled by frustration
Electrical storms of memories
A never ending nightmare
that starts when you enter,
and again when you leave
She steared me to the edge
before she turned away
And I was to busy watching her go,
to see what was headed my way
2007 06 Betrayed
I see you every time I close my eyes
and I hear your sweet words, filled with lies
and I wanted to burn my eyes out rather than watch what you did to me
And I broke my brain, wraping it around your decite
'cause I wore my heart on my sleve, and you took advantage of me
When I was down on my knees, you were laughing at me
When I begged and pleaded with you, you never gave a fuck about me
When I needed you, you were nowhere to be seen
You'll never know how close I was to being insane
But I want you to know the pain of, my heart breaking
You would not leave, when I asked you to stay away
Kept making promises, tomorrow will be a better day
You would not leave, when I asked you to stay away
Kept making promises, tomorow will be a better day
Burning both ends of the candel, knowing you were going to throw me away
Kept saying what I wanted to hear, so you could have your selfish way
It kills me every time I have to sing this line
And I never should have had to sing it, even one time
Remember how much I loved you....
Well now I hate you, even more
'cause I wore my heart on my sleve, and you took advantage of me
When I was down on my knees, you were laughing at me
When I begged and pleaded with you, you never gave a fuck about me
When I wanted to kill myself, you called the cops on me.
2003 07 My Blues
Rainy nights, shiney streets
Buildings Light the sky, and the moons reflected, at my feet
But it is'nt allways this way
there are some sunny days
when people appreciate what I play
and I can brighten up their day
My blues, are darker colors too
and the source is in side me, it's got nothing to do with you
But it isn't always this way
there are some sunny days
when I feel o.k.
and what she did seems so far away
*(1987)
Snowy nights, frozen strings
Howling wind penetrates everything
My blues, got nothing to do with you
But it isn't always this way
there are some sunny days
when people appreciate what I play
and I can earn my way
2007 08 Ballad
What makes you think you could be replaced
Where before there was nothing, now there's just an empty space.
I thought that you the one who begged and cried,
would be there when I needed you by my side
To stand by me, instead of lying
you never batted a eye at the destruction over which you presided
I Waited for you, to come back to me
because you had no reason to leave
how do you live in your skin,
after what you've done
to me, you were everything
to you, I was just someone
to manipulate till you had what you need
You didn't care that I was on my knees
And the right words were never found
Because you refused, to hear their sound.
2006 09 Begging hands
I feel like time is, slipping away
through my fingers, day after day
and the only thing that makes me cry
is what I see on t.v., nothing happens to me.
And I gave up all that I was suppose to be
to appease the little people, who's malice I could not see
to please the ones, who envied me.
The ones that wished, that they could be free.
I see you walking with averted eyes
too tense to even spare a smile
but I can't say that I blame you
'cause there's a hundred begging hands, for every walking mile
And they gave up all they were sup-post to be,
to feed their vices, escape reality
but when a treat, becomes routine
even the smartest man, will smoke away his dreams
I feel like time is, slipping away
through my fingers, day after day
and the only thing that makes me smile
is what I see on t.v., nothing happens to me.
And I gave up all that I could have been
to punish myself for some unknown sin
count the cost, maybe you win
but the real price, won't be known till the end.
1993 11 Sometime
I've played to a million souls
unaffected, on their way home
or out on their big night
I must have made a curious sight.
And I used this to help get me through
The dark days of getting over you
For years I've watched the world pass by
And now I'm ready, to leave it behind.
I took some time, to find my mind
I looked for a sign, that the world could be kind.
I looked to philosophy,
and theology crept in
both left me with more questions
than I had when I began.
And I completely crumbled
as we fell apart
what brought me down here
was a broken heart.
I took some time, to find my mind
I looked for a sign, that the world could be kind.
I let myself go, as I searched my soul
And after all I've learned I still don't know.
12 Down town Train
You wake up and the Grey falls away
You move out, and smiles lead the way
Fresh airs invigorating, begin the brand new day
And now your waiting on the down town train.
Now your waiting on the down town train, you gotta go
And their not worthy to be causing all this pain, now you know
When your waiting on the down town train, you gotta go
2007 13 My brand new life
My brand new life, what will it bring
A sunny day where I have learned to sing
Lot's of cash and sparkle girls
And one more thing, peace in this world
A day where I can wake up, and remember my dreams
A day where I can walk around and not be haunted by anything
One more day of youthful bliss
Not one more day like this.
Well I keep on turning around, and I keep on falling down
I stood on my toes one day, so that I could see the bottom
And I keep on falling down, every time I turn around
Someone else is letting me down, and I know I let them.
My brand new life, what shall I sing
You've heard all about the treachery, in this world that's everything
Do unto others before they do it to you
What ever happened to standing in line and acting in the common good.
Well I keep on turning around, and I keep on falling down
I find myself fighting wars, long after I've lost them
And I keep on falling down, every time I turn around
Someone else is letting me down, no matter that I once caught them
2003 14 feel this way
If only life were perfect, thing would be so much better
I said to the girl
as we discussed the weather
It was cold and bitter when I met her, but now I'm warming up inside
and I sense a incoming tide
from which I will, be unable to hide
I never ever want to feel this way again.
Moody dark and mysterious, a spark in her eyes kept me curious
but it played itself out in scenes of love and hate
and I can't help but miss, what I tried to escape
I never ever want to feel this way again
If only life were perfect, things would be so much better
I said to the girl
as she went on about the weather....
I never ever want to feel this way again
2004 15 Oil
Oil runs the world, feeds the war machine
A giant game of chess, our nightmare is their dream
and they control the world, through forces unseen
and we do their bidding, without a whimper or a scream
Wave your flags, for god and country,
and move the lines, that mean nothing
Part time job, full time hours
no more benefits, the middle class exiled from the tower.
Sold from under our feet
The world is owned, by the greedy.
Wave your flags, for god and country
and move the lines, that mean nothing.
modern machinery, creates a new gory
and the eleven o'clock news is worse than any bible prophecy.
2006 16 escape
She walks in the door, and it begins again
Before their vows, he was her best friend.
But now he only puts her down, bitches about how things are
could make them better, but he'll never try that hard.
Now she's free in the morning, yea she's off to work
She tells herself all day, tonight I won't,
let it hurt
She walks in the door, and it begins again
Before thier vows, he was her best friend,
But now he only puts her down, bitches about how things are
he could make them better, but she'll never make him
try that hard
.
2006 17 To Be
The truth it comes, as the light dies
The words are forgotten, before the ink dries.
You build and build, to the highest high
set goals and targets, to evaluate your life.
The holy man, prays for the one who does him harm
But I could kick you in the teeth, for what you've done.
To be pure, some times I'm there
But it will always bother me, that you didn't care.
To be a holy man, on the floor of a Mosque
is easier than on the streets, temptations catalog.
From hand to mouth, and breath to breath
live in this moment, not the last nor the next.
To be pure, some times I'm there
But it will always bother me, because I cared.
Peel away the layers, to find the last voice
The one that listens, the one that makes the choice
And when you are still, detached from everything
That's when you'll see, that life is but a dream.
To be pure, some times I'm there
But it will always bother me, because your not here.
The truth it comes, as the light dies
The words are forgotten, before the ink dries
Thank you for listening
