Endless Fields of Poppy

Our Princess is in Another Castle (parts I & II)

Once upon a time in castle under the sun Ruled a King who only half his subjects he had won Through a wizard's magic wave He knew his people could be saved And thus his evil fight to muse the masses had begun It was known the King and Queen were quite a silly pair The King had spoke moronic words, the Queen had pretty hair The allegations were ludicrous The King threw down an iron fist He called his knights and told the other kingdoms to beware Other kingdoms heard the warning but they didn't heed The King knew this and thought a battle's what the people need "I'll let them torch two tower walls And shed the tear when castle falls Then the filthy peasants will not mock me when they bleed" And so our story ends with the conclusion of his rule The battles fought I hope have taught they simply were a tool Though faceless kings will come and go I doubt the peasants will ever know The lessons lost of wars and costs of the King who was a fool

Transcendentalism is Like Wow!

I can’t see why you say the sky is falling down Because my head is in the clouds Believe you me when I say those shards of blue are now All just sequins dancing as your crown Flies and bees buzzing ‘round the notion that you grieve We are awaiting your release You’ve skinned your knees falling down, now just breathe deep You’re already on your cautious feet All your dreams are reality Your conscious needs to know Your sorrow’s multiplicity But you are already home Plant your trees and dance around their harvest harmony Your spirit is the seed Taste the greens and remember these, the words I plea: It is your life that the world needs All your dreams are reality Your conscious needs to know Your sorrow’s multiplicity But you are already home

Oh Me Oh My

Waiting for that telephone call Where you can blame you’ve heard it all Before you say your emotions played A part in our downfall Fire fuels the heart I guess You put all your love to rest Sleeping on the bed we’ve drawn Its presence has been suppressed Ride inside your temper’s lies Now you here me sigh: Oh me oh my – You have gone to hideaway Oh me oh my – The words we said, I had no say Oh me oh my – Deliver me without delay Oh me oh my – You have gone away Sitting in this biosphere Intentions lost and wasn’t clear Enough to tell I couldn’t sell A way to persevere And now this sphere becomes a cage Of words that coax to act my age I’m hiding from the wrath has come To circle ‘round your rage Ride inside your temper’s lies Now you here me sigh: Oh me oh my – You have gone to hideaway Oh me oh my – The words we said, I had no say Oh me oh my – Deliver me without delay Oh me oh my – You have gone away

Never Call

What the hell is my story? Cleaning up this mess once again You’re banking secrets for me Kiss and tell or is this pretend? We’re playing make believe A round of tag that will never end I never call you, when I do you’re never there You sigh but it’s all that I can do, coincidence has got me impaired Now I’m stuck with all of my bad luck tucked in the front of my wares I never call you, when I do you’re never there Serendipity sure has Dropped the ball on our little game Now that my innocence and Indifference are one in the same Emotional piracy No time to assign who’s to blame I never call you, when I do you’re never there You sigh but it’s all that I can do, coincidence has got me impaired Now I’m stuck with all of my bad luck tucked in the front of my wares I never call you, when I do you’re never there

Bike, Ladder, Pills, Car Wreck

I've seen your face It is shadowed by this monkey's game disgrace Take my case and I will set you free I've seen the sun It is shining on the donut's midnight run When it's done I hope you'll stay for tea So sail away from all the worries of your life So take a break and just release that blurry sigh Reach out – you saved me Freak out -- displayed me Lifting up our heavy hearts Bike, ladder, pills, Car wrecks can't shake these sultry summer thrills But until I take you home again You took my hand Green pillow milkshakes in Happy Mathland and Understand that no heart cannot be mend So sail away from all the worries of your life So take a break and just release that blurry sigh Reach out – you saved me Freak out -- displayed me Lifting up our heavy hearts

George Bush

Your kamikaze faith meets the sweat on your brow You’ll be standing and facing the sun Just save your face and take a final bow There is no encore when you’re done Your fantasies twist and then buckle down The saliva just drips off your tongue The pacifists’ fist punches a blow Hasting the last ladder’s rung Hey! Hey! The cavalry’s play There is no resolution to this Hey! Hey! The democratic delay The voice of our nation has gone to shit The punctuation proves our head on a stake Your sentence is ending alone The audience soothes over bastard’s mistake Regrets that you will never atone Your razor-like teeth filter the enchanting words They drift through the crowd’s patient ear Subliminal fees censored birds and the bees Replacing our courage with fear Hey! Hey! The cavalry’s play There is no resolution to this Hey! Hey! The democratic delay The voice of our nation has gone to shit

Flannery O'Connor

Cellophane feelin’ from a seven AM ceilin’ And it’s only ours to keep Detroit’s callin’ back the San Francisco pollen Christ, I gotta get some sleep Sunday’s lookin’ better since the Jester’s got the weather Because I’m strung out in the rain Can’t afford to tell her it’s a paper umbrella That protects us from her waterproof game Where have we come to? Nobody told you? Looks like we’ll ensue all that we’ve tried "So stop your playin." That’s what you’re sayin’? I’m not complaing of suicide The synchronized pounding from the morning call sounding Reverberating in my ears Tastin’ my temptation from a narcissist nation And the salt that fills my tears Quantifying Quaaludes to the first refrain of "Hey Jude" The record’s skipping in its sleeve Feeble needle’s grooving, the F / Eb / Bb soothin’ As the crackles drown out my worn out belief So start complyin’ if you’re not tryin’ I should be flyin’ away from this Where have we come to? Nobody told you? And so I ask you: "Please don’t persist."

Colorwheel

The sunshine is fading, the world closed her eyes But yours remained open beneath your disguise Forcing emotions bottled inside Throw it into the ocean, let it sink with the tides We’re living in a colorwheel What a shame to see it as a grayscale We’re living in a colorwheel We play the game but cannot touch without the feel So color your life Paint some highlights Color it bright You see the big picture? Read between the lines: The sins of the mother erased over time Remember the father, his colors defined We love you forever and your sadness is blind We’re living in a colorwheel What a shame to see it as a grayscale We’re living in a colorwheel We play the game but cannot touch without the feel So color your life Paint some highlights Color it bright

Multiples of Two

Cupid’s enrolled at the institute He takes a single fraction, then times it by two The factor of the factor: I’m the remainder when through Craig says "Lake Street is for the lovers" Well I’m thumbing, bumming cigarettes out on the corner Rain soaked, head cloaked Who else can relate that it’s true? La-la-la la la-la-la la la la What I need to do is divide the multiples of two Two prime numbers and that’s all that it takes But a zero times a zero, you know what that makes Calling for a calculator Send me to a cosmic cosign Tommy says "You’re innocent when you’re dreaming’" I cannot relate, no REM I’m achieving’ Cold sweat bed wet (Put an expletive in this line!) La-la-la la la-la-la la la la What I need to do is divide the multiples of two

Babycakes

Babycakes, Babycakes, you are my Babycakes Babycakes, Babycakes, I love my Babycakes You float from cloud to cloud Above a shining sea and back to me Eloquent to dangers in your sleep You drift along the seashore And sandy foam on turquoise stone All aboard the elephants that roam Babycakes, Babycakes, you are my Babycakes Babycakes, Babycakes, I love my Babycakes

Chicken Soup for the Drag Queen

The periscope is elevated all night long Sending hope to a deflated ego to stay strong Mish and mash the truth and lies I wonder what you’re really like inside? That is your disguise Self esteem evaporated in the air Selfish dreams wetted from a single glare Acceptance in a click again Surround yourself with mannequins That is your disguise So you’ve found some salvation in your peers? You’re hiding from penetration of your fears Mish and mash the truth and lies I wonder what you’re really like inside? That is your disguise

The Tortoise and the Hare

Hang me from a mouse trapeze Nothing left to break my fall Icing on the birthday cake Tastes like ash and Geritol I’ve fallen for the setting sun Prophylactics block the view Thirty-thousand wretched souls evaporate Can’t question all your social taboo You disintegrate my heart The Captain’s here so why am I? Stowaways dress chickens in drag Setting soon the silver moon Prune the feelings of the fag Rabbits race on empty lies Turtles trip on trillions of trials Sitting across an empty room How can fifteen feet feel like millions of miles? You disintegrate my heart

Fire in the Street

Innocence welcomes the backlash of a spiteful tongue The sediment of senseless vengeance lies in anyone We travel round the world with open arms Awaiting our demise Dancing in the streets round rings of fire Waltzing to the tune of sizzling skin Do-si-do Around she goes Stepping on the stones The fingerprints are smeared on our generation’s thumb We wipe it on the children standing in our bloodline’s run The bodies fall before me and I don’t mind They’re all just stepping stones Dancing in the streets round rings of fire Waltzing to the tune of sizzling skin Do-si-do Around she goes Stepping on the stonesThe laughodils are dieing and we can’t hear their plea Say good-bye to innocence and the endless fields of poppy

Smiling Up At You

The situation concedes As the procession proceeds But I know you oversee The loneliness of a fallen tear Is equaled to the constant fear But your love is her lighthouse beam Mother Mary embraces us all There are no disgraces to fall Are you smiling down on me? Am I all you hoped to be? Although we never met I hope this message gets through We are all smiling up at you Gravitation relieves The bleeding hearts at the seems But I know you oversee I wish I knew you when you were here To see us through all the jeers But I know you see it from above the trees Are you smiling down on me? Am I all you hoped to be? Although we never met I hope this message gets through We are all smiling up at you

Miscellaneous

Acting Suspect

Watching the wheels go 'round As the spokes are spinning your pupils waving sound Why do you forever frown? You're clever but I bet your shiver Shimmies down your back into your heart Motivation never found Watching the TV fuzz As your memories fade to never-was Decimating all our trust You say I'm boring? How? Cuz the tables turned around and upside down Know your nova's nothing now You're acting suspect and your pretention is wearing thin You're acting suspect and your facade is beyond broken-in

Freedom

I don't think you ever cared about me I'm just a transparent bruise You were wasting time arguing my pleas And waiting for an excuse I gave you glasses but you refused to see You must have missed my abuse Sing indifferent to the melody And now you're sighing the blues You may think this is a power play But you are just breaking my chains Since there is an end to this bloody attack Fifty hefty stones are lifted off of my back And I want you to know that every single one of those stones will construct my freedom I'm reflecting when the tension would subside for it all to begin I thought your presence was an ear to confide but I was oiling the tin Where's the walking when you're sulking in stride? Who is next on your binge? I know your actions are just eating your pride This delicious cycle will end You may think this is a power play But you are just breaking my chains Since there is an end to this bloody attack Fifty hefty stones are lifted off of my back And I want you to know that every single one of those stones will construct my freedom

Under The El

Sweating sulfur under the El Train Sulking into the street Desolation in meditation I simply couldn't compete Multiplication adds up to divisions Single soldier at war Revelation of affixation Breathe it in and out of our pores The time has come again my friend The answer to your question: "Who allowed apostles juxtaposed?" So sing a song of certainty That we're unsure? Why certainly! And sing it down the path that I choose Strolling further under the El Train Overheard celebrity glimpse Blondie hipsters oblivious to my face Trading blows with shotgun pimps The time has come again my friend The answer to your question: "Who allowed apostles juxtaposed?" So sing a song of certainty That we're unsure? Why certainly! And sing it down the path that I choose
