Caveman Flare

Have you read the news today?
Nothing ever goes your way
Torch lit chambers in your heart
Blood like lava in the dark
I’ve seen you fade, I’ve seen you fade away
I’ve seen the brilliant colors fade away
It’s the nightmare that you feared
Closing on your caveman flare
Ancient riddles that dissolve
all that you have ever loved
I’ve seen you fade, I’ve seen you fade away
I’ve seen the light inside you fade away
Steel and pavement line the way
To electric signs that say
You can buy anything
It’s a brave new world they say.
And there’s no day like today
But the gutters wind their way
Through your memories anyway
I’ve seen you fade, I’ve seen you fade away
I’ve seen you fade, I’ve seen you fade away

Avarice In Wonderland

You’re so lovely, Oh so lovely
Incubus of milk and honey
You’re looking down the aisle at rose petals
upon soft clouds of pure white snow
Underneath the rainbow
There is a pot of gold
Avarice in wonderland
down the rabbit hole
Spread your velvet wings and shade me from the sun
There’s no going back the eclipse has begun
Shiva wrap me in your arms and take me now
There’s no going back even if I knew how
You’re so pretty, Oh so pretty
In your mourning dress so pretty
You’re looking down the aisle at old acquaintances
Who once knew you so well
Underneath the rainbow
There is a pot of gold
Avarice in wonderland
down the rabbit hole
Spread your velvet wings and shade me from the sun
There’s no going back the eclipse has begun
Shiva wrap me in your arms and take me now
There’s no going back even if I knew how

I was in awe of your conviction
like slaves that bathed with Cleopatra
Would I care that you never saw me
If I could somehow scrub off the fear
Shrinking violet dress Pandora
to the rhythm of a broken heart
Words so lonely seekinglovers
fall like rain from darkened skies
Imagine me in a collection gathered in the attic
Lovingly flowered and scented with all I play and sing
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
The sun will come out tomorrow
Two lonely girls, one in a mirror
We smile and shine with a soft thunder
We wonder if they ever wonder
what it's like to see me like I do
Inhibition twisting constricting
My skin so tight my soul is shrinking
Blow a kiss and tickle my sister
Purging shadows spiced with cinnamon
Imagine me in a collection gathered in the attic
lovingly flowered and scented with all I play and sing
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
The sun will come out tomorrow

Leave me alone to my drink
I've been turning these gears for some years
but I still don't know just what to think
When they put me down into the ground
I'll have spent all these years with tuned ears
but I still don’t know what you're about
What a clever thing - What a clever thing you are
What a clever thing - What a clever thing you are
You set your watch to my heartbeat
I've kept up the pace in this race
it's repeat and repeat and repeat
When you chatter like I know you chatter
You wind us up so damn tight
but in the end I guess it won't matter
What a clever thing - What a clever thing you are
What a clever thing - What a clever thing you are
You push my buttons, I push your buttons
the countdown descending deep down inside (x2)
What a clever thing - What a clever thing you are
What a clever thing - What a clever thing you are
You push my buttons, I push your buttons
the countdown descending deep down inside (x4)

Stranger

Another day another town
Another unannounced arrival
A dusty angel with straw wings unveils the heavens
as a hole through which his god came tumbling through
Reflecting back and shining through
Your eyes like neon through barred windows
The distant murmur of machines was somehow soothing
lulling you into a deep and distant sleep
No matter where you go you know you’ll always be the stranger
always on your own
and every day the world outside just gets a little less familiar
but it’s all you’ve ever known
Another rumble in the clouds
The valley stretches out beneath your feet
The rain will come you said and fill up all the rivers
Washing all your thoughts into a deep blue sea
You said you wouldn’t be around
to see the spiritual revival
You tapped their lines and heard the echoes of a whisper
somewhere in a canyon carved out long ago
No matter where you go you know you’ll always be the stranger
always on your own
and every day the world outside just gets a little less familiar
but it’s all you’ve ever known

My feet are moving my thoughts are vacant
Following snail trails on the pavement
You told a joke from some magazine
I don’t like jokes they’re never funny
Tonight I am autonomy. No straight jacket or cell can hold me
Misanthropic and I’m running wild. Tonight I am an animal
And you’ll never never never never, never never never never
never never touch me again
I think you think I owe you something
And if you want I’ll tell you something
I’m not in charge I only fake it
Run for your life before I take it
Tonight I am autonomy. No straight jacket or cell can hold me
Misanthropic and I’m running wild. Tonight I am an animal
And you’ll never never never never, never never never never
never never touch me again
My heart is beating my hands are shaking
A sense in me has been awakened
I see the sludge behind your eyes
You represent all that I despise
Tonight I am autonomy. No straight jacket or cell can hold me
Misanthropic and I’m running wild. Tonight I am an animal
And you’ll never never never never, never never never never
never never touch me again

Grey clouds blot out the sky
no sun, no time, no silver linings show
Above the aqueducts
and roads that reel the drifters back to Rome
The elements have plans
for architects to catch each man
and float his body home
By day the builders toil
by night they hide behind their walls of stone
protection from the beasts
the horde the vile horrors of the unknown
the stories have been told
and honed with words so sharp and cold
they'll cut you to the bone
There is a boy who's counting sheepish clouds
waiting for sleep to come
unaware of the growing forces
pushing industry along
the gears will grind his gods down
into more efficient ones
there's much work to be done
Columns and rows of soldiers
borders stretching sea to shiny sea
a new world order purges cultures
in the name of unity
but if it's kneel or die at gunpoint
I'll take death and God Damn
yo ho it's the pirates life for me
There is a king who struggles
with the pieces on the chessboard
campaigning to liberate
heathens from their dark overlords
but when the kingdoms are all one
where will there be a place for
a wretch like me
There is a god who's rolling marbles
across heavenly bodies
and planting blueprints for
delicate wonders into tiny seeds
there are no secrets kept
not even from a worthless servile
scumbag fuck like me
