I wanta feel inside your soul
See the universe that's in your eyes
Run hands through tendrils of hair bright as the Summer fields
Can't believe we were born under the same sky
Like a Clydesdale driving a stagecoach in the snow
The barren wastes of a cloudless night
Gazing through a window at ranch land in space
I've forgotten' your breath on my chest
Soft kisses on my face
You're a wild horse runnin' free
Runnin' a vaste beach against the sea
Wild horse runnin' free
Wild horse come back to me
You're often fears, I can not tame you
I've a tended stable if there is a change in you
Dream one day I'll see you like a ghost
White horse treading prairies in the fog
You're a wild horse runnin' free
Runnin' a vaste beach across the sea
You're a wild horse runnin' free
Wild horse come back to me
Red barn door slams, echoes in my mind
In bed I weep as darkness abounds
Memory of you, rumpled dress, black boots on
Come back to me honey, it's been far too long
You're a wild horse runnin' free
Runnin' a vaste beach against the sea
You're a wild horse runnin' free
Wild horse come back to me

By the look in your eye I can tell you want a piece of me
But I got a cold heart as black as the barren sea
And the love in me died in the Laramie Plain
In a rusty truck parked in a country lane
If this is what love is about then I don't wanta' play the game
Cause my heart's been broken too many times
And every time I come back to love, well, it's never ever the same
I just pray some day I can ease my worried mind
With you alone I thought we built a world
Where we could both live under the prairie Sun
But fear came along and the crops have all but died
By the rolling snow of you defenseful pride
If this is what love is about then I don't wanta' play the game
Cause my heart's been broken too many times
And every time I come back to love, well, it's never ever the same
I just pray some day I can ease my worried mind
See you standin' in the Nashville Sun in a parking lot
Pickin' change off any man you can find...
So raise your hand if you've had it with love
'Cause I'm feelin' it more from day to day
Breakin' rocks all day just to get my due
When all the while can't escape the ghost of you
See you standin' in the Nashville Sun in a parking lot
Pickin' change off any man you can find...

She entered my life
The world was like
A magic wonderland
Soft fingers in my hand
She's got the mind of a child
Eyebrows so thick and wild
The face of a Disney villain
The body of a super girl vixen
Thin raven hair of Bettie Page
My queen of the stars in the Space Age
Sweet dreams Marie
I know you long to touch me
A heart drenched in doubt
'Neath the lights of the city
Sweet dreams Marie
Won't you escape with me
An innocent reborn
Pink lights of the city
Through film red tinted black and white
Mickey Mouse sweater in soft light
Thick make-up on her down caste eyes
Stocking up her luscious thighs
Sweet dreams Marie
I know you long to touch me
A heart drenched in doubt
'Neath the lights of the city
Sweet dreams Marie
Won't you escape with me
An innocent reborn
Pink lights of the city
If I drop her she'll shatter like a porcelain doll
She tfeels the world is large and she is so small
Behind the cellophane wall in the neon lights
Like Pinocchio I strive to bring her alive
Make her heart sing
Set her chest aflame
Sweet dreams Marie
I know you long to touch me
A heart drenched in doubt
'Neath the lights of the city
Sweet dreams Marie
Won't you escape with me
An innocent reborn
Pink lights of the city
I often drift in fantasy
While my mind sits quietly
Clouds hang low in the blue marble sky
Beach waves in and out by our side
Summer warmth braces our skin
Through the throws of love we are born again
Sweet dreams Marie
I know you long to touch me
A heart drenched in doubt
'Neath the lights of the city
Sweet dreams Marie
Won't you escape with me
An innocent reborn
Pink lights of the city

The day that her pah died
I seen the tears in her sea green eyes
The mist of her breath
'Neath the winter stars
I heald her close
To heal her tender scars
Made her way to Lexington
From a clapboard farm
Board a rusty bus
I remember her under a Kentucky Moon
Dancing on bright rainbows
In the dark of night with pigtails in her hair
I remember her laughing in the autumn leaves
Rays of sunshine on her face
Young shining grace with ribbons in 'er hair
Years later cross the bluegrass hills
Stone fenced roads to Louiesville
Found her lyin' 'neath a pillar of stairs
With the sunshine beaten' out of 'er freckled face
I remember her under a Kentucky Moon
Dancing on bright rainbows
In the dark of night with pigtails in her hair
I remember her laughing in the autumn leaves
Rays of sunshine on her face
Young shining grace with ribbons in 'er hair
She turned ta' whorin' ta' feed lust after time
After loosin' 'er job at the coal mine
Yet she still dreams 'bout 'er better days
Of ridin' horses and playin' in the hay
I remember her under a traffic light
Holding her oh so tight
In the winter rain in the dark cold night
I remember her as the light went out of her eyes
She left with a harsh sweet smile
Peered into my face one moment of grace

Well the Texas sun was blazing hot
Joe sat on a rock in the middle of mesquite
The desert winds hit hard
On his back and worn out feet
He loads his shotgun
1... 2... 3...
Well he rested the barrel on his knee
For the men who killed his wife Shelley
Her flowered dreams caste to a dreadful sea
To be married and buried
'Neath the birch tree
Her ghost stands in the door frame
Of a kitchen in a condemned house
He's tied them up one by one
As he catches the killers by surprise
The smell of alcohol and cigarettes
On their rotten breath
As they whimper and plead with petty lies
He longs to ease the burden of blood that is on his mind
1... 2... 3...
Their screams don't keep the wounds at bay
Her garden of roses in summer rays
Sky blue eyes light his way
Caressing golden hair in bails of hay
This will be his final day
1!
To be married and buried
'Neath the birch tree

There's a killer in the wood
It's name is time
This raging cancer
Soaks our soul in the brine
Beasts await
Slithering in the swamp
Us fools stand alone
With the hunger in our haunt
Faded memory of a town
(See the moss cover kindred memories)
I'm spooked beyond belief
Dark stars are alight
(Feel the ghosts that are fading slowly in darkness)
Take a walk amongst the tombstones
Through vacant lots in the night
(On our graves)
Unnamed jungles roam
To the place I call home
'Neath the killin' fields
Of my father's dreams
And the ghost
In his eyes
Eminent decay
On signs of the freeway
You'll cling for your mind
Leaders keep you astray
For broken down homes
And dead end jobs
'Neath the blazing sun
While your childhood's robbed
Faded memory of a town
(See the moss cover kindred memories)
I'm spooked beyond belief
Dark stars are alight
(Feel the ghosts that are fading slowly in darkness)
Take a walk amongst the tombstones
Through vacant lots in the night
(On our graves)
Echo'd plight
Abandoned factory halls
Cobwebs eat
At whitewashed walls
With our hearts
In hometown pride
Memories die
Like the stars in the sky
(Radio)
Desperate love by the dirty roadside in a trailer
'Neath the lights and power lines of a backwoods town
Are you a monstrosity or beloved to the shadows within?

'Mongst the rainstorm
Tryin' to keep peddles on flowers
And keep the rocking boats at bay
Yet the voices keep calling
From inspiration we stray
Listen to them
Bring them to life
Find your way home
Find your way home
Find your way home
Find your way home
Find your way home
Find your way home
Find your way home
Find your way home
'Neath the marshes of mediocre decay
With thoughtless distractions in the way
Don't let the money changers bring you down
The truth is inside
If your soul hits the ground
You have one life to live
This is your own
Find your way home
Find your way home
Find your way home
Find your way home
Find your way home
Find your way home
Find your way home
Find your way home
The light versus the dark
The hope versus the stark
You have it in you
A bright shining star
In a dark looming sky
Find your way home
Find your way home
Find your way home
Find your way home
Find your way home
Find your way home
Find your way home
Find your way home

A universe that's rules
And laws are far less cruel
Bright chemicals, they wash away
Mind expanding space
A witness to creation
Awoke to a cavern of stars
The pale piercing orbs
Of midnight sky
The life in the hereafter
For our soul survives
A witness to creation
Awoke to a cavern of stars
Irised garden
Bathed in ethereal light
Each planet it's own color
A jeweled flower
Space, a cave of possibilities
A kaleidoscope
Of pools set before me
A witness to creation
Awoke to a cavern of stars

Spoken word:
Geometric rock paths beneath a layer of water
Leading to ancient dark slate stone monoliths
Pointing toward the macrocosm of galaxies
From wince we came
For the answer to the deepest and most important questions are
In the inner balls of illumination within us
Sang:
Is this the I
Or something working through me?
The answer
Is aeons beyond what we perceive
Transmission received
Transmission received
I'm standing on the crossroads of a neon grid
A tuning fork to the ecstasy of divinity
The station to station
Of these golden years
A bridge between realities
Transmission received
Transmission received
And the real world awaits with stabbing knives
To cut dimensional fabric, your space and time
Mindless, mediocre, blasphemy
A scribe to the things we cannot see
Transmission received
Transmission received
Split my brain
The receiver once was blind
Coma cluster
Leakage in my mind
A board washed ashore from other worlds than these
Turn the knob
The right frequency, flesh from fantasy

Spoken Word:
The beaming sky
Adorned by a rainbow
As I color these universes in Crayola crayon
Beneath arctic blue so bright
An alabaster chalk painted stream
By a rocket
In my mind
Under a blanket at night
Comforted
As a child
Warm
In bright fantasy
Sang:
As a babe
Gazing up at fake stars
Through a window flight
To night sky
Sew my worlds together
With paper and pen
To reach the immortal
Through synthesis of sound
I am
The supernova
Of ultraviolet light
As a child
In my grandmother's garden
I always longed to be
Anywhere but here
Bathed
In the sun's afterglow
‘Till I was developed
By the world's cruel light
I am
The supernova
Of ultraviolet light
In death
I'll move on from this life
To an
Intergalactic plane
As a beam
Or prism of color
A shooting star
From this pale blue dot
I am
The supernova
Of ultraviolet light

Well the rustic barns
Peer at you
With sunken eyes
And the sweltering heat
On the steal of a
Bloody scythe
They choose you
The outsider
For blood of the lamb
This guttural terror
That rises from within
They choose you
The outsider
A sacrifice to Pan
This queezy feeling
Faced with death
You'll only understand
A bell rings
Atop a boarded
Creaky tower
The smell of moss
Railroad spikes
In murky Water
They choose you
The outsider
For blood of the lamb
This guttural terror
That rises from within
They choose you
The outsider
A sacrifice to Pan
This queezy feeling
Faced with death
You'll only understand
To step into the willows
Is to leap into
Utter fear
You feel the twine
Of it's branches
Crawling up your skin
Pulling you slowly
Sinking down inside
Ancient earth
Suffocating
Within
Elder dirt
They choose you
The outsider
For blood of the lamb
This guttural terror
That rises from within
They choose you
The outsider
A sacrifice to Pan
This queezy feeling
Faced with death
You'll only understand

Well they drug 'er out to the woods
A crown of mayberry's upon her pale white head
Kicking dirty legs
Wet dew spring grass
Harsh on her soft skin
Prince of the dark
Pour Josie
Primal urge
Renewed in virgin blood
Callous were ‘er pleas
Village chanted in candle mass
Their sack like robes
The animal faces
Set afire the beast within
Prince of the dark
Pour Josie
Primal urge
Renewed in virgin blood
Children might hear
The lamb's ghost cries
Emanate in golden heath
Blood fades to brown
Purify the crops
To appease the outer dark
Prince of the dark
Pour Josie
Primal urge
Renewed in virgin blood

In an ancient ancestral cottage
Lives a crooked, old man
Wicker figures in a deceptive garden
Waiting for the world to feed him their children
Bakes them in an oven one by one
He bakes them in an oven one by one
In the darkest of corners
Within the depths of your kindred fears
Walls, tudor, yellow and brown
Concealing his hidden passages
Bakes them in an oven one by one
He bakes them in an oven one by one
Awaiting in the hollows
Within the withering willow wood
Dwells a Primevil creature
With The promise of truffles and treats
Bakes them in an oven one by one
He bakes them in an oven one by one

Fell in love with her one night
Hard rain was fallen down
Bodice, dress
Wild flowing locks
White flowers in her hair
Silver lips
Pale skin
Blue eyes
Made love
How I lust her thighs
Said I was the lucky one
Then plucked my throat with an immortal kiss
Oh woe is me
Can’t you see
I’m locked up for eternity
Can’t you see
It isn’t me
It was the end of life you see
And I was born again
Now I can’t even face the sun
Mono no aware, evermore
Bleak sky looms over me
My thirst for love a rueful irony
Nostoghia a deep longing abyss
The numbness of a ghostly memory
Infinite night without an end
So, why don’t you just bury me in the ground?
Oh woe is me
Can’t you see
I’m locked up for eternity
Can’t you see
It isn’t me
Oh woe is me
Can’t you see
I’m undead for eternity
Can’t you see
It isn’t me

I no longer know
Put the pieces in place
Forever a pawn
Of chaotic fate
Just watchen’ the clouds
Upon a sea
Of tranquility
A lighthouse in fall
Above
Pear yellow leaves
A ship
Lost in flight
Without a beacon of light
Amongst obsidian waves
On this navy blue night
Forever marooned
By a childish heart
A sojourner
From mediocre
reality
The beckoning call
of emotional tides
The crashing foam
moonlight
upon coral reefs
A ship
Lost in flight
Without a beacon of light
Amongst obsidian waves
On this navy blue night

In a blanket of sea
Neath a canopy of stars
Within the silent tide
Below the shining moon
When morning comes
Set for sail
Neath pillowed cloud
Within the coming storm
And all the water in the world
Can't put this fire out
I'm alight
Light flecks top the ocean
Throughout space and time
I'm alight
In the bunker I wait
Within the comfort of my art
Completely at home
In the arms of creation
Though danger out there
I'm still here
Though weathered by storm
The candle's alive
And all the water in the world
Can't put this fire out
I'm alight
Light flecks top the ocean
Throughout space and time
I'm alight
By nature or nurture
God or monster
From that dark cold sea
Sprung the question you see
Through aeons of conscious
Evolutionary seed
From what springs life
My reason to be
Chorus:
And all the water in the world
Can't put this fire out
I'm alight
Light flecks top the ocean
Throughout space and time
I'm alight

To see the Sun
Rising o'er the ocean
A sea of green
Rising from the bed
To feel the sand
Neath my feet
To hear the beasts
O'er the reefs
I feel I could soar
Above this paradigm
An anchor
They've created
Adrift, afloat
Above marine forest
Of lucid blue
On vast waves
As the rain falls
hard
Upon the harbor
The sent of moist
Under grey cloud
On the docks
Your sweet little, tan
Hand in mine
The taste
Salty wet
Of your kiss
So won't you fly with me
Into the Sun
That bright yellow one
Gold as your eyes
Every path we take
Another chance
For a dream to come true
So could it be you?
In that silly raincoat
The warmth that I get
When I'm between your thighs

Shines the sailor's moon
Through the wispy clouded sky
Far from the ocean tide
Upon the tranquil sea
Shines the sailor's moon
Neath the clear bright stars
Feel his spirit rise
He built a world
Beaming deep sapphire
Cuddled in his bunker
All alone
In lucid sleep
And in the mornin' fog
The dream is gone
When the dusk breaks
The flame burns on
Shines the sailor's moon
Through the wispy clouded sky
Far from the ocean tide
Upon the tranquil sea
Shines the sailor's moon
Neath the clear bright stars
Feel his spirit rise
He built a world
A boat
Upon the sea
Where he can sail
Amongst the free
And when day breaks
The pressure's wrong
And after the madness
Life goes on
Shines the sailor's moon
Through the wispy clouded sky
Far from the ocean tide
Upon the tranquil sea
Shines the sailor's moon
Neath the clear bright stars
Feel his spirit rise
He built a world
Above
The blue whale's song
In fantasy
Time runs fluidly
And when reality
Takes it's toll
There's a place
He can go
