The Kaleidoscope Dawn

Sails 04:48
He's charted a path Towards drifting ocean streams, The boy with the sailor callused skin Is homing in. Climbing the mast with black paint on his hands Drawing the map of nowhere Writing letters, journals on his sails Traveling light he sees time and place float away. Watching for winds that come rocking The boat and the sea need a story to be calmed Tears at his deck, freeing the anvil. Engraves a tale for the ocean A gift he sinks to its heart The sea speaks back to him A language its waves translate Boy, all you see and all you will know Plans from the maps and reads from the answers Once written by legends Sacred remains He sails on after To the brink to the edge He sails on after Allows the bow to turn and go Just belong Laying on his back Resting on his arms He is nice and gone, He is nice and gone Drifting on, drifting

Nicotine Fix 04:09
My nicotine fix for your eyes For your eyes My nicotine fix for your eyes so Smoke billows up, takes our silhouette, billows up I look around, you were mine only One of these days I will catch you, take you in One of these days I will take you home, home No one believes me when you said I wouldn?t wonder-full And you remind me of myself I was, I am alone You were a fool you crazy tool You broke down you forked down you sold your My nicotine for your eyes They were for mine We?ll make love, to our Cigarette (lit) night One of these days I will catch you, take you in One of these days, I'll bring you home, home again, again

Saxophone Sunday's scratching my ears Cast a pocket full of one sided die, just like Marmalade Monday makes me sing again La la la la la I pick my guitar and I joined the Jollyheads Circus traveling as a one man band That's when I found out I'm pretty sick and tired of dealing with all your one horse towns La la la la la Drive me mad Mother tongue Hear your children's sorry silence Worn, by resignation reputation routine Building cardboard houses A paper bag cartel Those kings of conscious And Lord of the Flies Where have all the good kids gone (X3) And have we ever been Think of all the times you were right And I was right And we were so wrong Think of all the time I was wrong And you were wrong And we were so right

Black Cactus 04:19
I'll tell you folks of interesting times Of black Dakota hills, rhyming mines The story of it all, The story of it all Black Cactus Inn is where our tragedy begins: I'm a working man, drink to reason When a flirty gal in a southern sort of way Came up to spend the night And who would appear, in this murky saloon But a gun slinging lark of a local drunk Time to settle injustices and draw [spoken] Stone killer gets you, loosens up your screws I do the best I can with what I've got but don't mistake [hysterical voices] Temperature rising Smoke warmed gun A harsh silhouette stains the bedroom floor I packed my things into my Saddle bag I paid my dues to naughty Nance and out I went And out I go Black Cactus, sow my road Black Cactus Inn (insane)

Kings and... 04:43
A candied vision attached to the wall Its syrupy watermark clearly covers all The towers made of resin, the twoers, the threers The Four rolling clovers twisted as a tree That cranks and churns everything to jelly see the landscape-o-matic turned on Our castles and lands we made up kings and queens And to the side Mr slinky snake in his sneaky ways likes to play his friend Boris the camel in a game of chess As the door lock keeps a growing To the top where the clouds are raining movies see the master projector turned on Our castles and lands we made up kings and queens

Dr. Bourbon 04:31
Dr Bourbon's back With his air of sensation yes Dr Bourbon's back Drags me to the table Hello again, my friend Dr Bourbon's I say A shot in the arm with a stone face He draws from his bag of tricks laying his Prescription on the table I down it all, my million fucking diamonds Dr Bourbon's back He starts to seem a little eager But hey the doc is back It's my insubordination My sweet desire for all you Temptation Is waiting at the bar, It wavy hair devil may care Could I trouble you for a light I wanted to tell you honey: You make me drunk on passion and I drink to your complexion You marvelous beast Too weird to live, too rare to die I see the faces revolving the paintings collapsing I see the walls all melt down The faces all melt down The knockout bell ringing the knockout bell singing: Take me [solo] Oh Dr. Bourbon I owe How can I repay No no no! says the doctor now I own you

Our Man 05:13
Our man Sitting on the ledge Our man With a head of gin Tosses a leaf to the tangled wind that Carries off as a waltz And the window shops Selling handprint marks Shown by the headlight river glow Creeping out under his toes No one seems to notice his reflection On the sweaty cobblestone roads And he could care to try Would he dare It?s his reflection of his solemn glare His reflection of his younger days Have patience for once in your life He took care, flew a kite, read a book, road a bike Hung up on nothing [Nobody seems to see] Smokes a pipe rides a bike Burnt parachute in hand, he's all right [Nobody seems to see] He once took care, flew a kite, read a book, road a bike Such a lovely survival

The World 05:28
The world is going crazy I hear the earth is at her end But/ how fortunate, it seems that everyone knows but me And all other living things you say All those ghosts of happenings Are willing and waiting, To be swallowed for you At a curious spot, the world The words you all speak to sink The nerve you have coming to me But what luck, you might get Everybody to heed you but This poor mother she's at her edge So if it's war that's all you know War is what I'll give ya The winds are blowing, you say goodbye I say good luck you're gonna need it Where's your head gone It starts to pour so come on your scrambling to disappear playing under mushroom clouds and here And when you've toughened up I bid you all Farewell goodbye I bid you all Farewell goodbye so long Now to face to face you're begging please But call it fate, call it love Goodbye so long At a curious spot, the world

Life, give me what you've got Just like mind, tear my sky apart tonight Love, what am I to do with you I'm rowing upstream walking off your plank Wondering Why I never bothered to read or write Maybe were these eyes that wouldn't fight In the beginning to each their own But I try to find home Home, You like to play hide and seek knowing I'll never, I'll never find you there So memory, it's all I've got it's all I've not I'm rowing up stream walking off your plank Wondering why I never bothered to read or write It were these eyes that wouldn't fight And now suddenly when I stop searching Life has found me
10.
I find the sidewalks all deserted like an earthquake has diverted Letting the night flow in I feel as the old drunk drinking street champagne Already calling out for more Singin' La la la laaaaaaaaaa Old Friends going for a drink Laughing and sharing the tales The champions of lifetime Singin' La la la laaaaaaaaaaaa When all the kings and queens They danced to open dreams I remember when we first met Weren't we all so wonderfully mad back then So since I've lived my life on the line Babe it's a traveling act for sure 'Couse you've gone so long ago Baby come back, come back My life on the line I wouldn't have it any other way And the truth is that I've left you ages ago Just let me be, give me peace All the kings and queens We are all kings and queens
