IN THE STRANGE OBLIVION
In the strange oblivion
A new season crashes forward
in the spires of Babylon
A new paradigm is altered
In the end
In the aught
In the end
In the aught
Icy shadows closing in
In the darkness of the ocean
Ancient forces, denizen
Cold gray labyrinth of water, oh
In the end
In the aught
In the end
Tendril of the strangest kind
Reaches out it takes you under
Sonar signals of the mind
Bones before you, there’s no savior
In the end
In the aught
In the end

STREETS OF THUNDER
Love is really a dream
And I know where you’ve been
Late at night we walk the streets
with lightning and the thunder
Take me on, why don’t you take me under?
We are better as two
And I’m in love with you
Love is just a mystery
No need for all your sorrow
You don’t know
Just who you’ll be tomorrow
Late at night we walk the streets with thunder
Oh take me on, why don’t you take me under?
Oh baby don’t cry
You know we’ll get by
You turn me on
Oh baby don’t cry
You know we’ll get by
Baby don’t you cry
Darlin’ don’t you cry
Baby don’t you cry

L.A. FOG
I didn’t mean it
Because I wanted you
You didn’t mean it
Because you said it too
I’ve got a heart but you won’t see it, yeah
I’ve got a heart but you can’t feel it, yeah
You trade in information
Constant incantation
An open invitation
A prayer of invocation to you
Why did you say I was easy?
Why did you say I was easy?
I’ve got a heart but you won’t see it, yeah
I’ve got a heart but you can’t feel it, yeah
You and I both know that it’s untrue
I see everything as safe
And I use it as an anchor
I use it as an anchor
I’m just good medicine for you
You sit on a shore,
And it’s a heart but you won’t see it
I got a heart but you won’t feel it yeah
I got a heart but you won’t see it yeah
Move to the music
Move to the music
And I’ll go on and on without you

HELL, HIGHWATER, OR SUNLIGHT
The moon was a perfect priestess
Trees dried skeletons
Sky was a new horizon
Stars were all beckoning
And he said, “And I’ll hunt you
And I’ll get you
‘Cause I need you
Come Hell, Highwater, or Sunlight”
The darkness was all consuming
At night she would see his face
The obsession it was overwhelming
She ran into her sacred space
And she said, “And I’ll I’ll seek you,
And I’ll keep you,
‘Cause I want you,
Come Hell, Highwater, or Sunlight”
Eagle shaman in the sky
See how high he flies
And I’ll hunt you
‘cause I want you
I need you
And I’ll feed you
Hell, Highwater, or Sunlight
Hell, Highwater, or Sunlight
Hell, Highwater or Sunlight
Hell, Highwater or Sunlight
I’ll haunt you
I’ll get you
I need you
I’ll feed you
I’ll get you

A SECOND TO LIVE
In the rooftop of my mind
Shadows leave the world behind
Rainy streets of occupation
Turn the light off, avoid detection
Oh this can’t be happening
In this dead reckoning
A Second to Live
The lonely world that I must travel
With every turn the knots unravel
Oh I can’t do anything
Oh, in this dead reckoning
A Second to Live
A big black car I have to follow
Don’t know where I’ll sleep tomorrow
Oh, I can’t do anything
Oh, In this dead reckoning
A Second to Live
A Second to Live
A Second to Live
A Second to...

LITTLE DOLL
Little doll I can’t forget
Smokin’ on a cigarette
In my life a real Queen
Prettiest thing I ever seen
Uh huh
You’re the one that makes me sing
Bring happiness in everything
You’re the only real one
A real way to have some fun
Uh huh
But I don’t know you Little Doll
I said, I don’t know you Little Doll
C’mon Shake
Shake for me baby

ADORE
And I was bitter,
I was bitter as the night
More than sweet,
I am not your toy
Eight million people
And nobody cares,
Just to adore you
You’re not a personal curse,
Just to adore you
Eight million people
And nobody’s there
Just to adore you
You’re not the first or the worst,
Just to adore you
And you were silver
Silver shine like the shore
Sharp as knives
And I was golden
I was Golden like the Dawn
Last sunrise
Lost in your eyes
Eight million people
And nobody cares,
Just to adore you
You’re not a personal curse
Just to adore you
Eight million people
And nobody’s there,
Just to adore you
You’re not the first or the worst
Just to adore you
Nothing here for you
And you’re wasting my time
And it’s killing me,
And you’re wasting my time
And you’re killing me,
And you’re wasting my time
And you’re killing me,
And you’re wasting my time
And you’re killing me
I was there and I saw the shore
I was there and I saw the door and,
I was there and I saw the shore
I was there and I saw the door, and
Just to adore you

HOME
It’s getting lost
Getting high
With your head
Up in the sky
Check out on the railway station,
There goes all the love you’re makin’
Go Home
But you’ll never get Home
It’s like a bolt
Out of the blue
And the sea
Is so green
Check out on the railway station,
There goes all the love you’re makin’
Go Home
But you’ll never get Home
But you’ll never get Home
Oh, you’re livin’ on a one way ticket
Oh, but there’s no one in it
You’re livin’ on a one way ticket
Oh, but there’s no one in it
One Way Ticket
No one in it
Round and Round and Round
Lost until you’re found
Round and Round and Round
Lost until you’re found
Go Home
Get Home
Go Home
Get Home

SUNSHINE MESSENGER
How did you learn to look at the sky?
Did the beauty evolve, or is it intrinsic?
Did it careen into you, like afternoon sun,
Crashing like a shower of water rushing.
Oh, Sunshine Messenger
Sunshine
You only get what you give
Plastically dazzled
Not worried at all
Morning bells ringing
Newspaper void
Inscripted Scripto
Dewdrops clinging tall grass
No, no, no
I put up the wall
A groom is drearily grieving
You got the call to kick up the flowers
And the glow I see
Checkered institution
Crystal blue wonders
Galloping Eastward
No, no, no
I put up the wall
Because I might love you
And I’ll fall, fall
And it’s no, no, no
I put up the wall
Because I might love you
And I’ll fall, fall, fall
Sunshine Messenger
Sunshine,
You only get what you give
Sunshine Messenger
Sunshine in Manchester
I don’t want to wait,
I just want to love you

ABSOLUTION
When it was Summer I reached for your Fall
I stayed beside you, in spite of it all
When it was Autumn, I reached for your June
This kind of love leads you over the moon
Then it was Winter and longing for Spring,
Reaching for heart-strings inside of a ring
Saturn and Venus, with comets of Mars,
We spent the night time our heads in the stars
Seasons turn around the Sun
Seasons turn around the Sun
Giving light to everyone
It’s so clear, It’s do dear
Afternoon showers of shimmering wind
Planets and courses are flowing again,
Forests of laughter from ferns to the dune,
Absolution is starting to bloom
Seasons turn around the Sun
Seasons turn around the Sun
Giving light to everyone
It’s so clear, It’s do dear
Every single one of us is here
Despite the differential
Each and every one of us is here,
Despite the differential
It’s so clear
Absolution
It’s so dear
It’s so clear
It’s so near
