Achieving Jubilation
06:59

Two shining diamonds aligning along Orion's belt
Two thousand light years between us at least that's how it felt
When the winter ended
Somehow we transcended
Meteoric shower
Pure magnetic power
A couple of loners you and me
So tell me how can it be
We're achieving jubilation
We've got a taste of love divine
Heaven's intoxicating wine
We're achieving jubilation
Where Venus and Mars collide
Baby I'll meet you on the other side
We're achieving jubilation
Extraordinary love
We've got all of the above
We're achieving jubilation
Two lone electrons careening around a molecule
Nothing but pure simple nuclear energy for fuel
And when we collided
Mercury ignited
As though it were fated
We were liberated
A couple of loners you and me...

Desert Love Song
05:13
|

|
Out in the desert where the sand and sun collide
Fate brought you and me together
Maybe it was the times and we were both so very young
And pretended nothing really mattered
But I kept you at a distance
Even though it caused you pain
I was holding out for some fantasy
That could never be
You and I have both moved on now
And through all this time I can't right that wrong
So I wrote these words in a desert love song
Hope they're good enough
Those halcyon days were so easy to recall
It's those dark ones I really can't remember
And the memories fade thought I wish it wasn't true
Though I know we had fun together
But I kept you at a distance
Even though it caused you pain
I was holding out for some fantasy
That could never be
You and I have both moved on now
And through all this time I still can't right that wrong
So I wrote these words in a desert love song
Hope they're good enough

All Heaven Broke Loose
04:29

All Heaven broke loose
When we went up to the mountain
Reconnected with the fountain
All Heaven broke loose
Celestial juice
There was lightning there was thunder
Blue sky was torn asunder
All Heaven broke loose
It was always just a thought away
We thought we'd save it for a rainy day
But when it finally came to push and shove
We decided it was easier to love
All Heaven broke loose
We were praying we were hoping
When the key fit in the opening
All Heaven broke loose
Celestial juice
There was no why there was no whether
All the pieces fit together
All Heaven broke loose
It was always...
All Heaven broke loose
There was lightning there was thunder
There was silence there was wonder
All Heaven broke loose

Midnight
1941
How could I have known that
My love would soon be gone
Your eyes
Sparkled in the light
The rhythm of the music
The stillness of the night
It's the same old story
It's the same old game
The martyr's illusion
But the victim's the same
Stubborn
The dreams in me remained
The fantasy of one day
We could live like them
I was
Blinded to the truth
We could never change them
And that there was no excuse
It's the same old story...
Evening
2017
The memories of our children
And the life that we never had
Sometimes
When the day is drawing down
I still see their faces
Their little hands reaching out
It's the same old story...
Feel the pull
Feel the pull
Of the ground beneath my feet
Pray again
Pray again
Pray again if I can
Reach out your hand
Seek out my heart
Take my pain away
Reach out your hand
Seek out my heart
Take my pain away...

Along a crowded city street
Trying to stay out from under people's feet
And when he tries to catch my eye I shudder then I sigh
There but for the grace of God go I
To never know a motherland
Under the hammer of an angry man
We're not so different though we try And in the by and bye
There but for the grace of God go I
So many blessings we leave uncounted
If we only knew to what they amounted
Waiting for the phone to ring
A knock on the door could only mean one thing
If Mom and Dad were you and me How grateful could we be?
There but for the grace of God go we

Civil Cynic
06:17
|
|||
|
He's going to screw us over again
I don't believe anything he says
His intentions they don't matter
All that gold on a silver platter
So politely we must decline
Don't take it wrong you may be fine
It's just that I'm a bit of a cynic
Sometimes it just doesn't seem fair
I see happy people everywhere
Why aren't they like me, in despair?
Going through life without a care
To that easy place I shall resign
Where being right is the greatest prize
And the king of the land is a cynic
All of my life I've fought it
Why did God have to make me a cynic
Isn't life hard enough as it is?
Even though the cup's half full
It's the empty part that keeps on pushing through
So why do I keep coming back for more?
Why should I try when I lose every time?
Play by the rules and get charged with a crime
Why go on living just to be old and stricken?
I never even bother counting my chickens
So take comfort in that certain pride
Of living a life that was never tried
It's always really safe being a cynic

Monday came bright and sunny
A new week's promise to fill
No Monday blues and a new pair of shoes
Brought a smile to my face
Optimistic embrace of the day
Now it's Wednesday morning
The fog so thick in my head
And hard as I try can't recall where I've been
So I'll chalk it all up
To this large empty cup by my side
I'll never know
What ever happened to Tuesday
Tuesday smiled at the doorman
A radiant beauty in bloom
And charming the scene with eyes bright and green
Made me notice her face
Had the tiniest trace of doubt
Now no one whispers her name
The shadow the tears and the shame
And try as I may I really can't say
That the luckiest star
Sometimes takes you too far away
I'll never know
What ever happened to Tuesday
I'll never know
What ever happened to Tuesday
I'll never know
What ever happened?

Magic Man

Magic Man
In the morning of the new moon
On a new year in the desert's womb
So I've heard the story told
Six one three two four eight
Another three six five is all I have today
Can't find no magic man in the count
Bowing down to the man in black
We placed our faith in a golden calf
Won't be the last time that we fall
Just give us one more chance
To make amends at last and to cleanse our past
It's so damn hard to get things right
But here comes the Magic Man
With his magic books and his magic plans
He's gonna make everything alright
No more war, no more strife
And we'll all dress in black and white
He's everything you'll ever want
'Cause Magic Man killed God
But here comes the Magic Man...
We've been waiting for too many years
For a magic man to assuage our fears
But the blood it always flows
I am the Lord your God
There is no one but me, not here or beyond
Magic Man got nothing on me
So there goes the Magic Man
Take your magic books, take your magic plans
Know that we're gonna be alright
Sometimes dark and sometimes light
It's just the way God metes out life
He's everything we'll ever want
Cause Magic Man can't kill God

Just Say When
04:58

Come back home...
Until death do us part
Every day every morning every night we'll start
Again
Just say when
Until death do us part
Love me up, fill my cup, wrap yourself around my heart
Constant friend
Just say when
Oh what a sweetness
Destined completeness
Highlight zone
Oh what a journey
Two souls a-yearning to
Come back home
Until death do us part
All my strength all my passion mystery of my art
I send
Just say when
Until death do us part
Every day every hour every second sparks
Anew
Just we two
Oh what a pleasure
Mystical treasure
Highlight zone
Oh what a journey
Two souls are yearning to
Come back home...

Building Tiny Idols
03:37

Place your bets on Baal Mammon
If you've got cash you're never alone
Ching ching ching
Bling bling bling
Customize your comfort zone
Step right up to Baal Peor
Do the dirty right at his door
Plop plop plop
Slop slop slop
Naughty is its own reward
Building tiny idols
Building tiny idols
Watch them topple down
Molech plays a nasty new game
Send your son through fire and flame
Boom boom boom
Doom doom doom
Scary fun to kill in his name
Sell your soul to Brother Satan
Promise you the world and beyond
Tick tick tock
Says the clock
And before you know it you're gone
Building tiny idols
Building tiny idols
Watch them topple down

Way Back In
04:37
|

|
In the beauty of the darkness
The beauty of the darkness
May you be the night
In the valley of the shadows
The valley of the shadows
May your step be light
And when you find yourself in doubt
May you find your way back out and
When you're out of love again
May you find your way back in
In your hour of depression
Your hour of depression
May your friends be near
In your moment of obsession
Your moment of obsession
May your thoughts be clear
And when you find yourself in doubt...
When you need some inspiration
You need some inspiration
May it fill your veins
When you need a little lovin'
You need a little lovin'
May it fall like rain
And when you find yourself in doubt...

Walk With Me
05:07

Won't you walk with me
Down this road I'm on
Won't you walk with me and
Hold my hand
Won't you walk with me
Down this road I'm on
And help me understand
Help me understand
Won't you walk with me
Down this lonely beach
And feel the sand between your toes
Won't you walk with me
Down this lonely beach
And catch the wind in your hair
Catch the wind in your hair
Where's that light that was in your eyes
Where's that smile that won my heart
Where's that touch that made me feel
Like the whole world was meant for us
Like the whole world was meant for us
Won't you walk with me
Down this road I'm on
Won't you walk with me and
Hold my hand
Won't you walk with me
Down this road I'm on
Help me understand
