Sorry the neon turned me on for so long
I heard the warning but it was way too late
I got neural tattoos
from decades of the same song.. burned in
Most people stopped listening long ago, I reckon
Well I’m flippin’ to the B-side – put the diamond on the spiral
Silence, blank page, ... beg us to suffuse ‘em with ourselves
(‘cause) Art is to console those who are broken
By life and by their own hands
Picks us up when the needle is stuck
There’s a wisdom dancing with the dirt…
Spin right in
Ba ba da, diamond on a spiral
Ba ba da, soakin’ up the moments

Cloud Nine in Hell

cloud nine in hell, another night to run and gun
hope I see the light of day
but if I do, I'm going right back in 'cause ya know,
life and limb ain't much to risk
never getting up, oh, if I go down now for sure
but daddy needs a new pair of shoes
neighbors will find a John Doe on their morning walk
how long til the kids forget?
cloud nine in hell, another night to run and gun
hope I see the light of day
but if I do I'm going right back in 'cause ya know,
life and limb ain't much to risk

Already Singin'
03:50
|

Woke up this morning I was already singin’ with a
Handful of heart and a head full of snow
Never knowing when to say no like those Indie girls; I
Walked out the door and I was already drinking; had a
Love in my blood and mouthful of lies
I don’t if I can get back what I’ve already taken from me but I just might try
Clocked in and checked out, let the day roll on by me
Thought I had a starring role but an extra I was
Always guessing when to say yes like it’s her first time; was
Already blacked out when we rolled into Broken with our
Decriminalized smiles and a hell in our eyes
I don’t know if I can give up what I’ve already given in to, .. living life will be the death of me
Crawling out from under the anthropobscene is like a walk in a web
If you want to get somewhere you gotta go with the flow and against the grain
When will the beleaguered be free?
When will they deliver that day?
Jealous of believers? – oh no! jealous of believers in me
Holding on and holding out for
Emanating radials

Same old story, with misremembered scripts
and missed queues.. and me not knowing if it’s you I
long to be with or just want to be
We wrote the lines.. which edits to blame?
If you want the last word, you gotta strike down..
strike down the parenthetical
You and I are pretty much the same
After all, a kid dreams to be a cop, well,
Just to say that to a criminal
I’ve been dying to inhale your pain.. in the air like a vapor
Looking to absolve the blame.. it’s a flame – all eternal
Ask me to ignore the shame.. in my name, from the cradle
Same old verse with transcendental tropes
It’s a song half written in another time when
Gymnopedie echoed through the halls
The Blue City you told me all about
Oh we were drunken fools every other night
Came together just to fall apart
You and I will never be the same
After all, you burned every bridge in town now
Put the gun down and stop running
I’ve been dying to inhale your pain.. in the air like a vapor
Looking to absolve the blame.. it’s a flame – all eternal
Ask me to ignore the shame.. in my name, from the cradle
Dying to inhale your pain
Trying to exhale the shame
One lie begets a thousand lies
Then love is no more than the seeds of pain

Fell asleep on the way to hell and I was home
Nightmarishly lucid by noon but gone by nine
Right now was so elusive,
my time machine an empty bottle
Had one foot in the past and the other in the future
Now I’m standing in the middle soaking up the moments
Do not stop searching for yourself but let self-seeking slip away (and)
You’ll find in everyone what you are looking for
We’re, after all, just star stuff
Entangled in the wave function
There’s a wisdom dancing with the dirt…
Spin right in, spin right in, spin right in
Ba ba da, diamond on a spiral
Ba ba da, soakin’ up the moments
