Taboo

Lily-white maiden, she a babe in the woods
She with a slack-jawed fuck-head don't do her no good
Is it wrong for me to go cash in on my dreams
And take a stab at the only one can turn my crank?

Baby, I know it's taboo
But I'm getcha
Ooh I'm gonna getcha tonight
Baby, I know it's taboo
But come and get it
Ooh now come and get it tonight

Why don't you make yourself up and let your hair down low
And don't you worry 'bbout the consequences, no one will know
We've sailed too close to the wind for such a long, long time
So fabricate a little lie and come and meet me tonight

With every little fluter of your lashes I melt
Into another hapless sucker dazzled under your spell
Come on and rock a little, baby, like the moonshine shines
And tell me every fantasy unfolding behind those eyes

I can't buy your love, baby
But I'm payin' for it
I'm dyin' baby please

Fabric Clandestine

Up till you came I'd tripped and fell into abyss
And my loins sat cold
When you appeared the skies they cleared
Bestowed upon me your thunder

Just take it up now
Won't you take it up one inch for baby?
Just spread those stems now
Won't you spread those limbs and satiate me?

You focus my aim, girl
Just below your navel
It's just impossible livin'
I sink in the mire
Of wanton desire
And tangibility forbidden
Caught stuck in the attic
Oh if you would flash it
One layer of fabric clandestine
You smother my drain, girl
Can't help out envisage
Oh all the treasures you're hidin' 'neath

I ponder many things
The style, the hue, the woven material
Can you escape that I may taste the serum
Flowin' down under?

Not till I gaze, not till I breathe
I taste your palpable heaven
Not till I gaze, not till I breathe, not till I-whoa!

Trip the Wire

Face plant, meltdown, wake to menus runnin' repeats on TV
I don't know why I get so fucked sometimes
Last night floundered
Now the morning headline's bangin' on my brain
I don't know why I stick my neck out there

Don't trip the wire, they're onto your game
So bow and resist the tension that feeds you
Don't bat your eyelids, you'll surely get made
So folo and discard your hunger

Wasting every single day
RUnning circles through the maze
Trapped ever since you arrived
Cast off into stormy seas
Spinning down a whirlpool
Taken, never to be found

Time to break down the door and hit the ground runnin'!

Train track nightmare,
Wake to knockin' on your secret door, for shame
I don't know why you let yourself go there
Sweet talk got you, ow the devil's got free reign on you today
I don't know why you fall for tricks like that

You played your part in this passionate game so long
It's time to unleash yourself, baby
Just cut the cord and skedaddle but no, you're...

Time to pick yourself up and brush off your shoulders now
It's time to break down the door and hit the ground runnin'

Ronin

Pain, from the daggers she stares at you
Shame, spewing fountains of guilt on you
Time, watch them wing up the clock to remind you
That all things surrender to their end

What does it matter?
We all climb our ladder
To Heaven or Hell
It's our life to unfurl
What does it matter?
The Glasshouse will shatter
And off to the graves
We go out for now we're...

Taking the long way home
We could be hopelessly hopeful
Reckless in love, so cold
Oh they will judge
But in the end does it matter
When matter is all that we are?
(But in the end it won't matter
'Cause matter is all that we are.)

Guilt, feel it well up inside of you
Bliss, turn my gray clouds to white, won't you
Lust, may it one day transform into
Love for the creature that captures your heart

Oh what does it matter?
We're slaves to the master
Of time and world lines
Of limited deals
What does it matter?
We keep going faster
The stars will burn out
And left to our flight we're...

Just burrow down
Burrow down in
Into your safe
Your safe and lamplit shell

Lonely Eyes

Lonely eyes in the bedroom window
Those lonely eyes don't see me
Lonely eyes when she pull the shutter
But she ain't no mystery to me

Lonely eyes in the bathroom mirror
Those lonely eyes will haunt you
Lonely eyes when she pull the trigger
But she's just too vain to see me
Oh she can't see, no she can't see me

Lonely eyes run wild
Oh, lonely eyes will blind you
Lonely eyes don't mean a thing
But I know that's what you want me to believe

Lonely eyes for the backseat stranger
Those lonely eyes stare blindly
Lonely eyes ain't no four-leave clover
Watch 'em hung her down in the street

Lonely eyes for the bedroom lover
Those lonely eyes shine diamonds
Lonely eyes, now I've blown my cover
Guess she's not too blind to see me
Oh has she seen?
Oh yeah, she's seen me

Dance With Me Forever

Blown to shreds black rubber every mile I go
Hello another stranded victim
On the side of this goddamned road

Now I wait for dawn to come
While I stick out my sore thumb

Do you wanna dance with me forever?
Do you wanna fill this oid and take me to your home?

So many have tried and failed
Soon I'll be with them too
Raising a fist and cussing at the blue,
The clouds,
the ski,
The moon

Revolutions 'Round the Sun

There must be a reason why
Our souls were put in this time and place
Mind and body born, you and I were formed
When at last we met

But with the odds of this coincidence
And a notion of fate
I still can't bring myself to take you off his shelf
And release you from your chains

Plummeting through space with the incorrect bedmate
I long to travel this lone universe with you
But while I've been waiting with my head down in this hole
I've lost another revolution'round the sun

You and I, we're made of stardust
Formed from explosions of old
Linked by our chemistry
And held in by gravity we roam

Your'e reeling me in with your symmetry
You're sending me vibes in obscurity
I see the way you look at me and this is how things ought to be
Why can't you just take me away?

Want to go backwards and change all that matters
Reverse all the clocks, make me first in your thoughts
But summer is gone now and when I come up I will find
I've lost another revolution'round the sun

Plenty in the sea out there's just one for me
Only one life to live oh I hope they'll forgive me
Destiny's game has me racking my brain
For the ones who can take me away

Do I dare test Pandora and risk all the horror?
What will they think of me?
How will they chastise me?
When I reveal all the love I conceal as I make
Another revolution 'round the sun 

Firefly

Lonely nights
Lonely nights waiting for you
A sweet surprise
Dressed up in satin and blue

Cue her song
Part the crowds and let her out on her own
Dancing to a number smooth and slow

Bathed in light on the floor where she moves
Oh let her dance alone
Don't want no one running this show

Blinded by your sweet disguise
Don't you ever stop to seek the reasons why
You burn so bright
This town's alive
You're the firefly that lights the streets tonight
But you're not mine

Don't hold back
Let yourself meander this way
Someone hold me down
I can't stand the tension no more

Feel her heat
Let her body move
The beat has got a hold on her
While her hands they wonder down her frame

Breathe her in
She won't let the fragrance linger too long
Tease my brain
Watch me slowly fall into her trap

Hemlocked

I can't deny I've got a thing for you
I can't believe all the colors I bled
Pining is fine out timing is everything
And you just let it get to my head

Into the trees and out with the mystery
The lonesome creature sobbing into the dark
I bagged you, you're mine
Quit crying, I do believe
One man down but hey that's a start
Just one man down but hey that's a start

Go on downtown where you said to look
And take me over the valley, I hear you
And take me down the canyon
Its cries echo around
But all your tears won't stop me from hauling you in

I can't believe I'm doing this all for you
I can't take time just to think for myself
But this thing I hide, the blemishes, everything
Might just bring you back to my bed

Out of the trees, to you with the mystery
Though no more crying makes me question my find
Is it just me or do I hallucinate? 
There's nothing here but saltwater lies
There's nothing here but a saltwater lie

Dead End Floozie

I got you right on my side
I got you under my skin
I caught you tellin' me lies
I caught you all up on him

So much for wastin' on you
I think I'd rather just fly
Don't bother wastin' my time
If you can never be mine

Just like that nursery rhyme
The one that we all once read
You're sittin' on top that wall
You're just a hard-boiled egg

Well in my fantasies
You always used to be so good
But now you're on your way down
To crack for all the king's fools

Well you know you're goin' down
It's a miracle that I found
Another dead end floozie
Red locks on my bedsheets
No more can I take it
It's a terrifying sound
To know that no one wants you around
But all I need is a heartache
And one ounce of heartbreak
To take you back, now come on!

Sagittarian

Mind over matter, baby
Size over Saturn
Baby, tell me whatchoo want from me
Your lovin' is confusion, baby
Burnin' this illusion
Baby, tell me whatchoo want from me

When all day long the wheel goes rollin' on
Rollin' over my head
Sagittarian, don't leave
(Sagittarian, take heed)
(Sagittarian, save me)

Hey! I'll give you my love
I'll give you my heart, my everything
Just to be with you
And honey it's true
But baby f the shoe don't fit
Well I still believe it's you

Fusion over fission, baby
Bitchin' over kissin'
Baby, tell me whatchoo want from me
Your eyes scan the talent, baby
Finger's in the outlet
Baby, tell me whatchoo want from me

Twin Paradox

I. Departure

I'm on a mission for all mankind
A flight for humanity
An object near Cygnus X-1 calls down

From far in outer space

One last goodbye to all those dearest to my heart
Farewell to all my friends before I must embardk

To the center of our heavenly galaxy I go
And all the spectators bellow out my trumpet call

"Sail on far beyond the stars
Where your wings won't rely on the
Gods and physics of the norm
Sail on far beyond the stars
May your wings fly you onward and
Round back to your heart of hearts"

Strapped up secure in my throne, they close the hatch!

The rockets ignite in dragon fire
All safe in my seat here
The atmosphere disappears as I speed
Out of hte exosphere

Call down to ground control, all systems go, I'm clear
"Okay to proceed, Captain, let's kick this bitch into gear."

My heart pumps as the capsule bumps, synchronicity
And over transistor radio I hear my comrades sing

Now Houston, let's ignite these drives into hyperspace!
Go!

5,4,3,2,1, Launch!

II.  Horizon

Attempt to orbit has backfired on me
No power known to man can help me flee

Held by the grip of a stellar collapse
Ain't nothing to do now, I can't change my path
I crossed the horizon, there's no turning back
Space-time has caught me on an imminent track
On my way!

The singularity beckons to me
A mystery locked in the dark depths of this beast

Reversal of light makes a slideshow of fright
Glimpsing events of past lost in this night
Gravity warping my minds and my soul
Swallowed up whole by this fiendish black hole
All the way!

III.  Long Lost Home

I'm back above my long lost home
But nothing looks familiar now
The sun has lost its luster to a rosy glow
The morning star nowhere to be found

The Earth looks like a bloody marble carved from stone
The continents have sunk in the brine
Have I really been away on this adventure so long
My head says no but my eyes don't lie

A billion years have passed in one
I can't imagine life on this stone
I'm buzzin' down to Houston but nobody's home
Wishful thinking for a man on his own

If Heaven ain't a myth then I can cling to hope
And salivate for Elysian life
But the picture through the window of this mottled globe
Portends a futile throw of the dice

IV.  Re-Entry

All at once bells and sirens sound off
Radar's gone insane
I'm picking up a tarnsmission and it's calling me by name

Could this be just a dream? A test? A rat in a maze?
Is there a stranger down there to set this story straight?

No matter now.
My mind's all set, time to land this bitch
And all the while the song they sang
Keeps ringing in my head

"Sail on far beyond the stars
Where your wings won't rely on
Gods and Physics of the norm
Sail on far beyond the stars
May your wings fly you onward and
Round back to your heart of hearts"

Ship set down and airlock-bound
I hold my breath
I grasp my chest
Through open door
I take a step...
