Sub-Radar Moves
03:06
|

so cool,
like a jet
my head beams seamless
past suits
in the shackles
where they hassle me
for my bliss
and tip tap toe
past the wire traps I go
and it feels so good knowing I'll
do it all for your kiss...
so cool
to pay no mind
my thoughts are making you mine
and sub-radar moves keep me alive
I go deep into dark's mistress
I go deep with my thoughts open wide
and sub-radar moves
I'll stay alive
so cool
I take the hit
but I don't hardly render it
the meters are melted
and so is the silver in the dimes
so cool to pay no mind
my thoughts are making you mine
and sub-radar moves keep me alive
so cool
like a jet
so cool
take the hit
ya

Miss Me?
04:30
|
|||
love me girl ‘til the morning
then won’t you wake me when you rise
daylight comes without warning
and you know how I love a surprise
ooh
days are short and I long
to make you smile
ooh
little girl, won’t you miss me for a…
while I’m dressed in a teacup
sipping up pennyroyal tea
stash me inside your purse for a try
I’m a pretty loyal thief
ooh
days are short and I long
to make you smile
ooh
little girl, won’t you miss me?
mm
little girls won’t you miss me...
all the days and nights and in between
I’m alive to entertain your dreams
in a glance we hid a chance to see
what this life would feel like if we were free
oh my darling girl, what can it mean
for this life to feel more like it’s the dream
swinging from your chandelier my dear
and I’m trying to hold on tight
catwalk slip dock, seaside sunshine
heals our vampire bites
ooh days are short and I long
to make you smile
ooh little girl,
won’t you miss me for a while?

Spousal Arousal
03:42
|
|||
as you all know
my space ain’t casual
some spousal arousal in the middle of a dinner night
is far out as I go
and I keep the blinds closed
at home or on the go
(it could be a lonely night
again for us…)
there’s horseshit whisperers everywhere
balling up wads of conclusion
spit out into the pollution
stupefying our very air
go on - change the channel!
see if I care
(it could be a lonely night
again for us
unless we go on to get
adventurous)
a love poem and some rave ideas
we get it going on our best Ikeas
our lungs intake the vapor
and minutes later
we’re back to nature
it’s as if I’ve just been born!
man, it got so hot (uh)
like a spanish soap opera
or a danish soft porn
hope to offer up some more in the near future
if you think it’s something that might sutra
capsules to unwind
castles to un-find
blood is thicker than the night is long…
it could be a lonely night
again for us
unless we go on to get
adventurous

Open Those Savage Eyes*
04:17

open those savage eyes
well, I know one thing
if I can’t seduce you
I’ll do my thing,
do my best to amuse you tonight
(can’t promise paradise
but if you hold my hand
I’ll get you to…)
open those savage eyes
we hit a cafe,
play the bourgeois
you’ve got good intellect,
my instincts say
you’re calling collect
(I don’t think we’re getting any closer to each other ‘til we uh…)
open those savage eyes
now you see it
our world is temporary
we’re gonna leave it someday
so don’t you go & play it so safe!

Something Bleu

don’t say goodnight
thrill me one more time
don’t say goodnight
threw me, right through me
don’t say goodnight
thrill me one more time
and I won’t ask you for more..
stay with me girl
the evening’s for makebelieving
the day’s been long
unraveled and so revealing
oh, I get a restless feeling
just when you might be leaving
don’t say goodnight
thrill me one more time
don’t say goodnight
threw me, right through me, girl
don’t say goodnight
through me, right through me...
you’re cold
and this whole beach is frozen
and there are no words I can find in your dictionary
to describe what it is you are feeling
but I know this, I know this
I want this: one more kiss
so please…
don’t say goodnight
thrill me one more time
don’t say goodnight
threw me, right through me
don’t say goodnight
one more time

Letter From Abyssmus

||||
big wedding day so bright with color
and I look above her to discover
the moon and its crooked smile
down the aisle I hear laughter
while I mix a recipe for disaster
and drink it from her vile
(ooh)
that’s how my baby learned to fly
inside the church she kissed my altar ego
her lips stained the glass of our disciples
who tried their best to cry
the tables set, the clink of crystal
children squirm from laps to whistle
the moment of escape is nigh
(ooh)
la dah dah da da dah, da da dah
that’s how my baby learned to fly

Boombox
02:44
|
|||
well now,
some days start with a spark of light
other days start and I wait for the dark of night
if I should go missing
you know where I’ll be found...
with my boombox
a broken heart ain’t no thing to me
there’s people I know who’ll fix it for free
I’m going to get to them,
and tune in to the sound
of my boombox
beloved boombox
you know I’ll be listening
one ear to my boombox
beloved boombox

Doin' It To You
03:35
|
|||
them dumb-luck boys
they’ll be making noise
down in the studio
it’s no funeral
coffin up quarters
like there’s no such thing as time
within these borders
why be miserable?
you makebelieve
that something somewhere is
doing this to you
doin’ it to you
you want an enemy?
look babe, now it ain’t me
you’re doing this to you
doin’ it to you
you want apology
it’s your psychology
you’re doing this to you
you could get lucky too
yes it could happen to you
if you don’t turn your head,
focus on an ugly dread
you know I’ll give you more
than I give myself
but you’ve got to get into love,
don’t leave it on the shelf
don’t let the day all go to ruin
think of it babe - only good things I’d be doing for you
doin’ it to you
you want an enemy?
look babe, now it ain’t me
you’re doing this to you
doin’ it to you
you want apology
it’s your psychology
you’re doing this to you
lost in the world
caught in a spur
kicked in the teeth
all by yourself
nobody else
who will you cheat?
doin it to you
you want an enemy?
look babe, now it ain’t me
your doing this to you
doin’ it to you
you want good energy
that’s what I’m offering
you’re doing this to you
doin’ it doin’ it doin’ it doin’ it
doin’ it doin’ it doin’ it doin’ it to you

Sympathy For The Night
03:03
|
|||
how do you do it, sweet babe?
dance away those brain cells, burning bright
oh, it’s alright
I lose sleep in my bed
how’s she get so made up for the night?
oh, it’s alright
well I know wrong from my right
and I don’t feel no sympathy for the night
no, it’s alright
hold on sweet babe
quick on your feet
your ears will ring
with the sounds of the street!
I see the sun getting thin
but it’s burning deep within us tonight
oh it’s alright

New Sentiment For Life
02:22
|
|||
I stayed up drinking with my thoughts all night
to see you come into another light
and with her roses she composes
new sentiment for life
now I’m drinking just to get myself drunk
the ship was sinking and now it’s done
and with her roses she composes
new sentiment for life
(aaaaaaaaahhhh)
with her roses she composes
new sentiment for life
(aaaaaaaaahhhh)

Lap Of The Gods
02:39
|
|||
we’ve played with karma long enough
seeking answers in the laps of Goudes
now what have we got?
and can we
escape this drama to partake in the dharma of song
dedicate it to love - a song that lives above the mystery
go find that diamond in the rough
it’s been shining in meditative lust
ooh, it must be love
it could be
it has been hiding 'hind the writing on the wall
we hear the call… we’ve known it all along now
swim in the lapse of the gaudes
sit in the lap of the gods
