Hyena

Come to me all open
like the sky seen from blinds
of a beigey tint that hurts the eyes

So dazzled by your dresscode
van dyke brown and ivory black
your nose so lively gives me a heart attack

You turn and laugh at me
But I don't take it personally
You see you're a hyena
And I want you to be a part of me

Now don't you hold back
I can handle going back where we met
like a reverse candle experiment

I see your eyes glow in the dark
like fire and you're looking at my diary

Where I've written poems so strangely
I'm not even sure where they came from

You turn and laugh at me
And you do it so charmingly
I see you're a hyena
And I want you to spend time with me

(top)

Paranoid

Turned over a four-wheel
I punch down danger when I want a thrill
There's wind, thunder and a blaze of glory
Iggy Pop's taking refuge in my ear

And in case you're paranoid
Doubt my claims or want to bleed
I have a little brother
He's twenty foot tall and he is green

One time I robbed Belgium
'cause I sometimes want to start a fight
Roll over them through a rap battle
Kick the heavens 'till the children cry

And in case feeling quite ill
And need someone to get your groceries
I have a little brother
He's twenty foot tall and he is green

Oh I'm just coming on strong
'cause I hold back baby don't want to hurt you
I'm not finished with my woman
I'm not finished with you

(top)

Astro Zombies

Oh all I want to know
All I want

With just a touch of my burning hand
I send my astro zombies to rape this land
Prime directive; exterminate the whole human race

And your face drops in a pile of flesh
And then your heart heart pounds 'till it pumps in death
Prime directive; exterminate whatever stands left

All I want to say
And all I got to do
Who'd I do this for
Hey me or you

All I wanted to say
And all I gotta do
Who'd I do this for
Baby me or you

Oh all I want to know
All I want

With just a touch of my burning hand
I'm gonna live my life to destroy this world
Prime directive; exterminate the whole fucking race

And your face drops in a pile of flesh
And then your heart heart pounds and it pumps in death
Prime directive; exterminate the whole fucking place

Well all I want to to say
And all I got to do
Who'd I do this for
Hey me or you

All I want to to say
And all I got to do
Who'd I do this for
Baby me or you

Oh all I want to know
Oh all I want to know
Oh all I want to know
Oh all I want to know
All I want go

Resolve of the Gutter-Goblins

I recall it being twelve AM when I was called in
And I wasn't told what had happened exactly
Just that now we had to take a stand just to survive

There was a man with a staff
And as such he could cast magic spells
That would kill us

Now I look around myself sewer exits and entrances
Guards posted brigades all all of the lot
And I haven't seen the sun in a very long time
I'm not sure it even matters what I do now
I certainly don't know what to do

And I miss my friends
Their deaths make me sad
Destroyed now I'm the last one left
Oh I know I miss them but they were bad

(top)

Wild Dogs

Roaming the prairie
'till the sun comes up
Roaming the prairie
Noone can stop us - 'you want to know why?

It's 'cause we're wild dogs
Wild dogs

Sailing the oceans
'till the lands are dry
Sailing the oceans
Noone can stop us - 'you want to know why?

It's 'cause we're wild dogs
Wild dogs - I'll tell you again
Wild dogs - one more time
Wild dogs - and we're free

Free
Free as a wild dog on the wheel
Wild dogs in the wild are free
Wild dogs in the wild are free

Simple Pursuits

Withdrawn far away
Not exactly on an island
But surely by myself with my simple pursuits

Now I drive a car
And I don't have a license
My instinct is to speed untill they pull me over

The island was a metaphor
I don't know for what
And the car was a metaphor
I will tell you later

Did my best over here
Not exactly perfect
But I sure did it myself with my simple pursuits

Now I'm not even trying
But at least I'm all honesty
I have to be on my way
I'll have to tell you later

(top)

Dead Gods

Under a ground
Most sincerely
Delicate passion flower
Blooms just once every twenty years

Oh but we'll perservere
You say you'll lead the men
A thousand times stronger than
Anyone we've ever seen

But now you're sad
It was something that I've said
The way we talk it makes you weak
And out of breath and the whole world wrecked

And all the gods are dead
They've died so many times
Our fickle minds are all
All we've got left now

You could fault the sunshine
'cause now you want it to be wet
Throw all your water out
And don't have a care about anything

And all the gods are dead
They've died so many times
Our fickle minds are all
All we've got left now

Under a ground
Most sincerely
Delicate passion flower
Blooms just once every twenty years

Intergalactic Space Cat

(One, two, three)

Intergalactic space cat
Intergalactic space cat
Intergalactic space cat
Drinking tea deep into the deepest space of the universe space

One day we went to a coffee shop
we had hot chocolate in the coffee shop
We even had some sandwiches out of the oven
Oh in that coffee shop

Intergalactic space cat
Intergalactic space cat
Intergalactic space cat
Moving the galaxies with the keenest purr of the spaciest space

One day you went to see a psychiatrist
For your problems; one Siegmund Freud
He said Ich will dich gern hilfen aber
Du bist ein

Intergalaktischer raum katze
Intergalaktischer raum katze
Intergalaktischer raum katze
Und jetzt eine kranke guitar solo

Intergalactic space cat
Intergalactic space cat
Intergalactic space cat
Drinking tea deep into the deepest space of the universe space

Yeah

Carry On

What if the lynx only mopes
Sits around all day and never growls
What if there's a widespread famine
And just a blues record that whines

Then he'll carry on and on and on
Oh he'll carry on and on and on
'till there is nothing left to put to the test

What if we are alone
I know that's not a nice thing to be thinking about when you're alone
But what if there's nothing more to know
And we've learned all there is to know

Then we'll carry on and on and on
Oh we'll carry on and on and on
'till there is nothing left to make us think about that

What if the void isn't black
A constellation of sounds and thoughts beyond what we can comprehend
What if I can't build that telescope
And I'd need to make do with a kaleidoscope

Then I'll carry on and on and on
Oh I'll carry on and on and on
'till there is nothing left
Oh no there's nothing left to put to the test

Sleepy Autumn

No more summer for quite a while now
But at least the warren is dry
And the leaves look kind of funny
Soft enough to put my ears to
And sleep underground

The morning is a bit colder
But the afternoon sun warms my heart
I look at everyone dancing around
There's something with the air
And it's so nice to sleep a bit
Sooner warm and snug underground

(top)

Mushroom House

In the mushroom woods
Hiding under a hood
From the rain

Inside the mushroom house
It's kind of strange
Playing cards with a mushroom worm

Mushroom house

Mushroom gods hear me now
I want to stay
If that's okay
Strangely

Relaxing now
On a cap
Of a mushroom bed
In the mushroom woods
Feeling good it's kind of strange
Ways to feed a mushroom god

Mushroom house

Mushroom pantry
With fungal pleasantries
Maybe I'm a mushroom worm

Mushroom house

A mushroom pantry
With fungal pleasantries
Maybe I'm a mushroom worm

Mushroom house
Mushroom house
Mushroom house

Run into My Arms

It's a year alone
And the seasons seem to be made out of stone
Just something I heard a weatherman say at one time

When you're feeling bitter and old
Your treasured memories now leave you cold
And you look outside and know there's nothing there
And you just want to hide but you cannot hide

You can run into my arms
You can run into my arms

You just want to step aside yourself
Turn numb until the time goes faster
Your senses just turn to smoke and callous dust
Some mistakes you made others I take away

Well some mistakes they cannot be unmade
Some mistakes oh they're here to stay
But some things you cannot take away

You can run into my arms
You can run into my arms

Oh you take this poetry
You take this piano
You take this marmalade
And you take it deep into your heart

You can run into my arms
You can run into my arms
You can run into my arms
You can run into my arms

My arms are open
