1. illuminati
broken wheels mend and turn...
up in the window...
all the ones that think
and rings of rhodium
platinum metals...
illuminating...
all the ones spent...
and cell phones that ring...
pyramids with eyes...
illuminati...
broken wheels mend and turn...
opening windows...
when they're broken...
like hands...
and oars...
or best...
and worst...
its some path that curves...
illuminating...
when the first is the last...
it wraps around your head like some woven blanket...
illuminati...
broken wheels mend and turn for the sovergnty of time...
2. motorboat
bald eagles swoop around the smoke
and out the chimney of the cabin...
got my holster ready
got the pills inside its barrell
the days revolve around the clocks
down by the river there's a bat sound
and a bug lite's shimmer in close distance
drowning all mosquitoes flying around...
my baby and i on vacation...
got my holster ready
got my pills inside its barrell
the bears are right around the corner
near streams so purified like air and...
ticking up and talking out to
the grizzly bears running around...
you grab the axe...
ill guide my chainsaw
gonna build us up a frame now...
near the moose on autopilot
as the grass shivers so violent
candlelights become a sign as
the logs inside the metal convect
the heat beside the pillows rises
salmon lay their eggs and mound them
a grizzly bear runs down the hillside
my thermal night vision scopes
"ill spare your life"
as splashes fountain...
and tomorrow ill pick up eggs and light my baitline
and flashlight to the roaring rapids
stars are falling like the fish now
the bbq is ready to pound out
got my shotgun
got my shovel
gonna bury bones in rubble
wear my camoflague from ultraviolet
as camoflagued as every pilot
its holier than holy light though
its just another sign that
somethings watching on this planet
the fireflies just buzz around us
we'll take the motorboat out again tomorrow
gotta hookup my sonar infrared fish finder...
go up the waves and calm them shortly after...
my baby and i on vacation leave the log cabin...
3. smooth as a whistle
smooth as a whistle
watch the trains roll by
over the hillside
replenishing my mind
sweet sacred oil
riding alongside
all of the buffallo
whos spirits helped us find
and follow the railroad
running over that golden spike
smooth as a whistle
cross the other side
steamboats and gambling
these patriotic dreams...
smooth as a whistle
the cards are dealing these
horsepowered pistins
freeways in the night
all smooth as a whistle
they never wanna fight...
**rescue squad
saw the sunset wrap you up in heaven
then i remembered
you've been stuck in circles
saw this candle that was melting down
wont admit i thought of the night you
didnt back up at all
sometimes i wish we were in heaven
but that aint a thing like real life
when the sunrise wrapped us up together
we breathed in sighs of what we remembered
or didn't do
oh yeah...
then i felt this rescue squad of smiles
mix beside the tears on our pillow
sometimes thats the closest thing to heaven
but it aint a thing like fantasy
you saw the sun inside a better
sky than the one i remembered
and if rings wrap us inside circles
shining stars might start to fall
and try to bring you down like moonlight
inside an innocent new world...
**scattered
all the baggage stops
there's no signs of lost
on the ticket stub
the drops whistle silently
and say
which way down home
road blocks the way
reigning fire
which way home
busy nights like windmills
always stop like then
utopian world slithers
away like warped fences bend
better know
which way down
home
parachute opens the clouds
hugging pieces in signs
rollercoaster inside
a mighty wind pushin' life
which way down home
road blocks the way
reigning fire
which way home
4. yosemite
yosemite
watched the firefalls
watch the waterfalls
halfdome touring
trails always cross
bring pest repellent
to yosemite
where bears are active and
the bears are active in yosemite
on 128 take the highway
to yosemite
if u cant afford the lodge
sleep well in your car or tent or truck in yosemite
yosemite
watched the firefalls
watch the waterfalls
campfires burning and
leaves are cushioning
and the air is freshest in yosemite...
5. puppy
see u sittin by the pool
thinkin
what am i to do
keep swimmin
daylight goes my way
puppy girl
she dont need some fool
who just loves to dictate
wants to jump inside the pool
enjoy some swimmin
the daylight looks her way
puppy girl
the golden rays of the sun
got no time to frustrate
go and sit over by the pool
you got that need to sun bake
with daylight flown your way
puppy girl
puppy girl
and her baby world...
6. on the delta
on the delta
gonna try some fly fishing
stop by the tackle shop
pick up my live bait
from the local store
sorry but we're closed
gone fishing...
on the delta
gonna catch some sturgeon
pack up some food in the pickup truck
dig up fresh earthworms
going fishin
as the shines on the rapids
of the delta...
gonna cruise on my bayliner
it swims like a labradore retriever
on the delta
with my woman
gonna drink some pinot grigio
watch the sun in its rowboat
as we settle down
on the delta...
7. justice
won't ruin my good days...
the wrecking ball awaits...
demolition, man...
keep your face down in the sand...
and it all started way back when...
teddy's rough riders dismounted...
a good ol guy named bonaparte...
near the 1900s started the fbi..
in vegas smoke all your pipe dreams...
the wrecking ball unfolds u see
its more than just a stranglehold...
the beareau aint got time for thieves...or fools
on the ground you criminals
demolition women...
or any other terrorists...
three letters keep you straight
justice honor integrity...all great...
and the f.b.i.
8. you dont know me
you give your hand to me
and then you say hello
and i can hardly speak
my hearts been beating so
guess anyone can tell
you wanna know me well
but you dont know me
the days pass thru you when
you help me get them right
through your beautifullish firey eyes
and nights come and go
you never need to fight
always opening like time
you give your hand to me
and then you walk away
when i can barely think
about another day
when everyone can tell
you really know me well
but you dont know me...
i dont believe in some meaning
or true love...
yeah just go wink your pretty eyes
ill see thru the things
you think you've covered up
now all we have left is time
you give your hand to me
and then you say goodbye
then you can hardly speak
your eyes begin to cry
and anyone can tell
you think you know me well
but you don't know me...
**distance
distant like days of wisdom clouded with scotch whiskey
the television sets see everything you can be
heat seeking missiles launch remotely near all the pirates
aircraft carrier currents with inventions and flying pilots
slowing the surface
and sinking
distant like gazing through a blue moon by the tv
tectonic plates happen revolving all around me
they sit at home and watch the days move on a distance
sometimes i pray for opportunity in this existance
flowing on trails
slowly we sail
past every good thing that we fitted for the country
warm greetings welcome me as i approach a family
horizons fade into the brightest stars around me
the freeway lines rewind around and sorta grasp me
homeward and thinking
how long ive been weaving
past distant memories just plowing down with whiskey
inside of fears and words just blown up right beside me
outdoors inside of my unconscious thoughts
im breathing with worries of forgotten pieces of a world
theyre overflowing...
holding the wheel
steering homeward
slowly and thinking...
**fire dancing
volcanic rocks
crumble on shores
where fire trees bloom
everywhere you walk
see bikinis and running women
tiger sharks cross
dolphins that jump and
speak higher with god
running free
trigger fish fun
rain that is warm
the tidepools are hot
helicopter watch rumbles up
speak higher with god
each place has a soul
how long will i know
dont wanna go home
running free
**sgt. mackenzie
lay me down
in the cold cold grim
waterfall
many just fall in
when they come i will stand my ground
stand my ground only be afraid
thoughts of god
take away my fear
sweats of blood
take the veiling tears
thoughts of home
say the prayers for me
close my eyes
and remember things...
nevermore will i see the sun
for i fell to a madmans gun
lay me down in the cold cold ground
where before many there have gone
waterfall
many then are gone
lay me down
in the cold cold grim
waterfall
many more have gone
**sunglasses
mydriatic eye drops masking
polarized reflective mirrors
arc lamps hinge like bridges burning
corresponding lens correction
sunglasses
watery glares and super magnets
radiation scares and fragrance
loosen sight like ultraviolets
corresponding lens correction
sunglasses
cant tell when they stare
brighten life in ambered lenses
driving everywhere
everybody wears sunglasses
insomnia like dreams
lights that make darkest questions
driving everywhere
everybody wears sunglasses
mydriatic eye drops masking
polarized reflective mirrors
arc lamps hinge like bridges burning
corresponding lens correction
sunglasses
**hearted
in old savannah - i said savannah
the weather there is nice and warm
the climates of a southern brand
and lately i dont understand
they've gotta girl there a pretty girl there
she's colder than an arctic storm
she's gotta heart just like a freezer
even the mice just leave her alone
a hard hearted vampire
alone in savannah to stare...
9. journey
cream black and mild burns down
one more gone...ill take you down and show you 'round...
til daylight's over just like some burning gasoline...
when we get some routes to follow
see where they click cause no one goes where
no one knows...
it might curve around like a rainstorm
washing us till i rip them down
and feel the sugars from the ground...
and take you around
til daylight's over, baby...
we'll look around
and journey to the desserts...
just like some burning fuel
except the pistons wont burn like you...
until the full moon...comes round and round...
then we'll turn our coronas and drive it home
and get some food to follow
curves like shrimp pinked out like you know...
cook it like the tobacco that's gone up to the moon...
then its time to refuel...
we've got some routes to follow...
gospel [carter family]
when we walk thru the streets of the city
where our hearts speak from long before
and we stand on the banks of the river
and just speak til we part no more
wandering from the ways of some strangers
dreaming loud like rapids roar
as we sit on the banks of the river
where we see how to flow from before
we will walk past the valley in shadows
with our hearts moving like sea shores
til we stand on the banks of the river
where our souls will flow to guide us home
when we walked thru the streets of the city
where our hearts spoke from long before
til we stand on the banks of the river
and just speak til we part no more
