Kon Tiki Parabola
On the farthest island - now just looking back
Kon Tiki’s good enough to leave
With sudden indecision - and a rusty intuition
Described in my citation - The subtle bas-relief
Is it remaining in a dream?
Evading our detection - until I’m sure of our direction
When I made the choice to always stay at home
And never brag untrue
More valuable than all you left behind
There was nothing I could do to change your mind.
Slip from the dark asylum
Never looking back
Through the cold long distant trees
The fortunate Canaries
Told the whisper that he carries to you.
When I made the choice to always stay at home
And never brag untrue
More valuable than all you left behind
There was nothing I could do to change your mind

Return to the Living
03:07
|

It’s the cat’s gale say nobody should stray from home
Rats trail in the wake of an argosy unknown
Drifting sleeping
Set sail for the others return alone
Dove-tailed till direction no longer was their own
Like the wizards of wind who for themselves can defend
Against the masthead showers unforgiving
They return to the living
Pour toujours en mer noire
Le Coeur reve d’un autre soir
Lost in the roar of the wave, no one to save
So far gone the singing of fabled tunes you’ll never know
The Argon is ringing, farewell brave Apollo
All pray on the edge of a rocky shore
A long stay for survivors to ply the sea no more
On the way to the end with the waves to contend
As they seek the morning like a sun king
And return to the living
Oh, la lune regarde la mer
Et mes yeux sont sous la terre
Lost in the roar of the wave – no one to save
So far gone the singing of fabled tunes you’ll never know
The Argon is ringing, farewell brave Apollo.
They’ll return to the living
Pour toujours en mer noire
C’est l’heure de notre histoire
Lost in the roar of the wave, no one to save
So far gone the singing of fabled tunes you’ll never know
The Argon is ringing, farewell brave Apollo.

Monsters of Karra Mia
03:32
|

Something happened on the way to Karri
and the inlet city was a nightmare
Almost every note we played, no matter how obscure
Came through without the fanfare
Let go of my hand and step out
Of the rain into the field alone
Still be a tidal wave tapping your phones
Now you can sing in even tones
Woke up lying on the floor
my favorite chandelier was swinging
in the hallway
Locked from opening the door
one clever balladeer who lead me to the foyer
Where the samurai demonstrate
Monsters of Karri Mia steal the show
Poverty counterweighs nothing he owes
Of Harley Granville-Barker prose
And he seemed to know
If you could draw me so honestly
And not pretend too obviously
To poison lowly cities till they glow
If someone only could erase that part of me
Let go of my hand and step out
Of the rain into the field alone
Still be a tidal wave tapping your phones
Now you can sing in even tones
And the phones rang all day

Fiddler's Green
03:57

Why would you bore me, tell me your story
About the time when you traveled to far off places and you never came back
Told your old shipmates, “I’m taking a trip mates”
This crazy fool takes to fantasy without knowing where he’s going
Well I hope you found the paradise we’re all looking for …
The sky’s always clear and there’s never a gale
There’s a star to the north and a wind in your sail
You’re never alone with the maids of the sea
Singing the song that you once sang to me
How you’ll hear the music play in Fiddler’s Green some day
It could’ve gone better – your picture, your letter
They can’t explain why you traded your home for treasure
Will you ever come back?
(Guitar solo)
The sky’s always clear and there’s never a gale
There’s a star to the north and a wind in your sail
You’re never alone with the maids of the sea
Singing the song that you once sang to me
How you’ll hear the music play in Fiddler’s Green some day
Now Fiddler’s Green is a place I’ve heard tell
Where the sailors all go if they don’t go to hell
Is this where you want to be at the ends of the open sea?
The sky’s always clear and there’s never a gale
There’s a star to the north and a wind in my sail
I’m out here alone with a skeleton crew
Singing the song that I once sang to you

The Rock Song

It’s loud in the field of geological silence
Like a sleeping volcano on a tropical island
A steam from the sea heading straight for the clouds
Here’s the opening scene for appreciative crowds.
All the lights going down now, the lava is flowing
In the night all around expectations are growing
See the vagabond king, the imperial clown
As they’re starting to sing an explosion of sound …
No matter what they want, or what they ask of you
Keep on rocking if you need to
With a pyroclastic galactic teaspoon
Leave your name when you take a bite out of the moon.
Sparks in the air and the ashes are glowing
And they’re feeding the waves so they just keep on rolling
The beat from the music is reaching the sky
In a curtain of fire 50,000 feet high
No matter what they want or what they ask of you
Keep on rocking if you need to
With a pyroclastic galactic teaspoon
Leave your name when you take a bite out of the moon
Stars are rising all around
Don’t let gravity pull you down
Just keep your feet up off the ground with lunar-tic shoes
Leave your name when you take a bite out of the moon.
As they’re rushing the stage, they’re unwilling to go
It’s the ultimate scene at the end of the show.
No matter what they want or what they ask of you
Keep on rocking if you need to
With a pyroclastic galactic teaspoon
Leave your name when you take a bite out of the moon
Stars are rising all around
Don’t let gravity pull you down
Just keep your feet up off the ground with lunar-tic shoes
Leave your name when you take a bite out of the moon.
Keep your feet up off the ground but what can you do?
Leave your name when you take a bite out of the moon.

The hammer swings
The silver sings
And here they bring the line to tap the rails
In all impressed
From East to West
A cast of thousands wearing Iron, feathers, top hat and tails
For all the people passing by the windows
And all the people running by the side
No sooner steam arise - the whistle's blowing
So many climb aboard to take the ride.
On broken ground
They stood around
Carving trails in the desert setting
A letter signed
That you will find
Behind the picture of the Mountain Wedding
and buried inside (“promontory bride”)
For all the people passing by the windows
And all the people running by the side
No sooner cinder flows,
the cash vault's blowing
In riding up – will they escape their ties?
Throwing fool's gold out of the windows
Throwing silver pieces by the side
The crowds are growing,
the safe floor’s showing
Too many, all aboard, and take the prize

Ship for Brains
03:58
|

Staring out at your glass model
While you wait patiently
To close the capsule and spin the bottle
Spilling into the sea
And now, there's a ship that's cast in a stormy ocean
A lonely port to follow the constellation just a stone's throw away.
Signal out to a vast horizon
Kicking rocks on the shore
I can hear you at last for I've been
Laid to rest on the floor
And now, there's a ship out on the ocean
Thoughts are mist and lost in a sinking motion
Set out a course and follow the constellation
just a stone's throw away.
From the darkness the tide is breaking
Navigate on a star
All the seconds the hands are taking
Time to know who you are
And now there's a ship out on the ocean
Thoughts are mist and lost in a sinking motion
Set out of course and follow the
constellation just a stone's throw away
There's a shipwreck of emotion
Solar flare-up drown in the radi-ocean
Set out a course and follow the constellation
just a stone's throw away.

Be That As It May
02:40

With incognizant eyes
lending proof with a stare
that you may as well be strapped to your electric chair
and the colander ground make me straighten my face
In the hospital rooms
with the color tvs
and the autocratic nurses push the needles up my sleeve
to calm my paranoid phase
It came as a shock
when I found I was cutting down my own
you're better off laying in a ditch then the ones
that made it home
So to spare the details
about the holes in my hands
they send me down beneath them
where the Aleister stands
and the colander ground make me straighten my face
In the hospital rooms
with the color tvs
and the autocratic nurses
push the needles up my sleeve
to calm my paranoid phase
I didn't want to have to see you
help them of your own accord
sadly pushing caskets off the starboard

In the golden age
On the ocean’s stage
We sail to novel lands
Leave adept an heir
That no Mason’s square
Would slide out through our hands
Hidden well no eye can see
Save for those who found New Coventry
But for now they’re safe
With one sure escape
Leave the mother shore behind
Borrowed wealth in gowns
Where the capstone crowns our sense of history
Hold to understand
the emblematic hand’s symbolic mystery
Dampen scrolls of fire’s reprieve
So when thought to be found again deceive
But for now they’re safe
With one sure escape
Leave the mother shore behind
Though our fathers Know
“As above, so below”
These words are fading fast
But for now they’re safe
With one sure escape
Leave the mother shore behind
Turning cold and grey
For one hundred days
Down sixty fahrenheit
As the winds prevail
So the crook and flail
Are ruled by guiding light
Fire flies once lost believed
Shining one by land or two by sea
But for now they’re safe
With one sure escape
Leave the mother shore behind

Candlelight

People tell me I’m always on the outside
But Holly told me she knew me from the inside-out
When I look in her eyes
Holding hands by my side
Hoping we’ll have years to try
Then she left me standing by the street lights
Illuminati really turned me upside-down
As a sign of the times, derivations aside
And the countless tears we cried
By candlelight, I can’t decide
Should I believe in her magic anymore?
Cinderella’s raining on a Tuesday
My umbrella’s opened up that old cliché
If I turned her away when she started to play
I could bring back yesterday.
January, sleeping by the fire-side
February, searching for a place to hide
When I asked her why, said she just couldn’t lie
About the feelings we denied
By candlelight, I can’t decide
Should I believe in her magic anymore.
All around us they call her by her show name
How they found us I only have myself to blame
For some reason I can’t remember
By candlelight I can’t decide
Should I believe in her magic anymore.
And she played
Ah, I believed her
I believed her
Ah, I believed her
I believed her
Yes, I believed her
People tell me I’m really on the outside.

Sticks and Stones

If I’ve told you a hundred lies, then 101 is true.
What’s the use? Why apologize? And what good would it do?
Now we’re following different paths that lead us both away from a love
that could never last -- there’s no one who would stay.
If I could only show her, if we just start it over --
Would she remember? Would she wonder why
All the words that we said, I can’t recall –
What was once a drop became a waterfall.
I know we said we’d try –
But now it’s time for us to say goodbye.
If you’ve told me a thousand times, I’ll tell you less is more.
Maybe now we’ll begin to realize, we’ve done this all before.
Why eclipse what the sun will let shine and turn our world around?
Why would this be considered a crime – a voice without a sound?
I tried to talk it over, but we just argued over …
So staying silent was my alibi.
All the words that we said, I can’t recall –
What was once a drop became a waterfall.
I know we said we’d try –
But now it’s time for us to say goodbye.

Applied Blue Location
Crowds around the Turing machine
From ceil to grounding all in between
For the gates controlling the stream
Occluding the sounds of small gatherings
One day the keys were loaned to me
But not to leave you on display
A silent strain
Is taking you away
I think about what I’m saying
It’s not wrong, it’s not right
I was queued into playing with the strong telluride
Wild fire is locking down tight
A desolate town flying over at night
Standing air forms a plane oversight
That it couldn’t survive on the left or the right
Tears flow like steel bearings rolling around the circuit of a drain
I can’t relay the role that you’ve replayed
I think about what I’m saying
It’s not wrong it’s not right
I was queued into playing with the strong telluride.
