workers working in a catacomb
but i’ve gone electric
can you hear your ear drums blow
im an ordinary worker
working in a catacomb
but wait there’s an aparition
a ghost in your head
and though its in grave conditon
rock and rolls not dead
rock and rolls not dead
tympai drums clatter
do you feel the tempo slow
backstage a drummer relaxes
and waits between blows
but i’ve gone electric
do you feel your eardrums blown?
i’m an ordinary worker
working in a catacomb
but wait there’s an aparition
a ghost in your head
and though its in grave conditon
rock and rolls not dead
rock and rolls not dead

some people got way too much confidence
some people got way too much charm
when they smile their teeth shine like blood diamonds
when they laugh and tell jokes, people applaud
but i’m just a loner adrift in the commerce
wading in a sea of melancholy dreams
i’ve taken the plunge unplugged the life support
gave up my wrist watch, nothings easy
in an exponential way
i get more expert every day that i’m alive, that i’m alive
when all i gotta do is keep it chambered up inside and shut my mouth
for a little while and learn to smile, learn to smile
i feel like an astronaut
confused on a subway train
i’m at my best in line at the plasma bank
exchanging blood---inhaling the oxygen
requiring a signature
do you know how I am?
i’m just a recluse addicted 2 green Tea
late night guitar watching soundless TV
broadcasting signal---the signal a smoke screen
the smoke screen my lifeboat
is it your lifeboat too?
in an exponential way
i get more expert every day that i’m alive, that i’m alive
when all i gotta do is keep it chambered up inside and shut my mouth
for a little while and learn to smile, learn to smile
do do do do do do

i dont know how to talk anymore
i keep my doors shut
i keep my mouth shut
i’ need to be hide behind something
feel the blue lights glow and flicker across the screen
be brave
talk a walk downtown
check reflection
mirrored window
find out whats for sale
avoid all eye contact with persons unknown
fill my lungs with muddy waters
coughing up borrowed refrains
i’m afraid of conversation
i’ll text you and try to explain
I’m afraid to know you
I’m afraid you might want to know me too!
access random memory bank overflow
we’re like checked luggage
we’re like lost baggage
or abandoned shopping carts
dream the distance between us humans disappear
dream the distance between us humans disappear
fill my lungs with muddy waters
coughing up borrowed refrains
i’m afraid of conversation
i’ll text you and try to explain
I’m afraid to know you
I’m afraid you might want to know me too!

save the world USE mind control
save yourself, save your soul
visualize success call your doctor loose 10 pounds
if you click and drag it, then you can have it.
better thoughts will keep your airplane in the sky
better thoughts slow your heart rate on the highway when you drive
i’ve got a plan
i know you’d understand
better thoughts will keep you happy and alive
rest assured breathe in then out
going clear now, that’s a mantra
always look your best
pay with credit if you must
remember represent! you’re here on business
use better thoughts----- you’ll gradually come to treasure them
better thoughts will show you patience, better thoughts are your dear friends
all that you need
is a mental remedy
better thoughts will keep you
satisfaction guaranteed

god i need patience
cause i cant wait around idly
i wanna hold your hand
i wanna understand
what it takes to live life easily
i may be staring at a last sunset
oh yes
and when the devil comes
he appears
perfectly ordinary
give me shelter from the storm
bring me in where it’s safe and warm
perched upon a narrow too high
let me sleep where its cool and dry
lend a hand give another try
gimme shelter for the devil
gimme some sympathy too
i don’t wanna think anymore
i wanna watch something flicker on the screen
my days are piling up just like old magazines
there’s a ghost living now inside of me
and i swear he drew the last breath from my chest--oh yes
and when the devil comes he appears
perfectly ordinary
give me shelter from the storm
bring me in where it’s safe and warm
perched upon a narrow too high
let me sleep where its cool and dry
lend a hand give another try
gimme shelter for the devil
gimme some sympathy too

Gunfighting At Dawn
04:57

the devil appered
he appeaed ordinary
wearing a canary colored rose in his lapel
he’s telling a joke
and people applaud
he hands you his gun and he’s laughing out loud
you learn the secret handshake
and wear the old school tie
board private airplanes the drift through the night
underneath the flood water stage
they’re stranded on the bridge like a cage
tsunami siren punctures the night like it’s judgement day
church bells blow in the breeze
bullets rain down on me
gun fighting at dawn
daggers ready, pistols drawn
meanwhile tonight i pray on my knees
if you’ve got a weapon to use dear jesus use it on your enemies
now the phone lines are down
brittish petroleum and waters up to my knees
survillance cameras only see what they want to see
barges broke adrift on the waves
meanwhile i’m stranded on this bridge now 3 days
across the overpass
a well armed milita’s---waiting for me
church bells blow in the breeze
bullets rain down on me
gun fighting at dawn
daggers ready, pistols drawn
meanwhile tonight i pray on my knees
if you’ve got a weapon to use dear jesus use it on your enemie

we’re here to free your souls from blunt headphone trauma
chronic insomnia
rotting away at your core
greetings from the ghost

pacing the night on the floor

you swept me under
we were the best of friends
greetings from the ghost
I love you
I’m here to free your mortal soul
from chronic insomnia
pacing the night on the floor
greetings from the ghost of heavy metal rock and roll
I”m a true believer in the worst way
I’m a true believer
beware despair lurks around every corner
do you realitze with your mother’s prayers tonight
you’re still alive
know I’ll be here until the end of time
greetings from the ghost
I love you
I’m here to free your mortal soul
from chronic insomnia
pacing the night on the floor
greetings from the ghost of heavy metal rock and roll
I”m a true believer in the worst way
