Electroshoque (2011)

You were waiting out another storm
I was creating a message for you to record
(some new, neurotic texts that you’ll like)
Calm and collected mood director—it’s a surgical strike
Got another block of thoughts in your mind
You’re in REM again… right on time :)
But you don’t believe me!
You know what you’ve seen, yeah?
I guess I’m towing that same old line

We can coexist if we’re left alone
Have another. We can steal forever
Ceast and desist – Nothing like it used to be
Get it together – Just get it together

Electroshock treatment for your tendencies
Save the crave. Keeping codependency
Losing views ’cause I don’t like your attitude
It takes a lot of noise to get me in the mood

Iridescents learn their lessons
readin’ all the magazines and turnin’ toward the sessions
Communication anxious like an aftermath
It takes a lot of work to keep you on the right path

We can coexist if we’re left alone
Have another. We can steal forever
Ceast and desist – Nothing like it used to be
Get it together – Just get it together

No Respect (1995)

Salvi and Cosi
Are on their own
Whether you like it or don’t
With their own lives and their own cars
They’re not gonna do it anymore

No respect for the times
They screwed us over and that’s fine
But now it’s our own life, with no respect for the times

Kaycee and Ed, they’re still in love
As far as I know
With their own hopes for their own life
Guess something that strong must be right

No respect for the times
They screw us over and that’s fine
But now it’s our own life
With no respect for the times anymore

Not gonna do it anymore (x2)

(chorus)

She Blesses Them Away

Eye for an eye
Tear for a tear
brings you farther
into the clear
Clear into you
Clear outta me
But that ain’t the way it’s got to be

Because with every little thing we say
that rages ‘gainst the storm outside
It makes it longer
And burns it deeper into your mind
Don’t carry anger in your room
Or curse in the candlelight
Just bless the storm away
And lovingly suffer the night
loving suffer the night

Everytime we’re closing the doors
with tears in our eyes
it’s more like a war
But, war against what?
Answer me, please
Cause it sure ain’t no surprise
we’re brought to our knees

Because with every little thing we say
that rages against the storm outside
it makes it longer, and burns it deeper into your mind
don’t carry anger in your room,
or curse in the candlelight
Just bless the storm away
and lovingly suffer the night

She hears what she wants
and sees what she needs
The lies are torn away,
replaced with a real
more real than her hurt,
her cold, and her fright
She blesses them all away
and lovingly suffers the night
lovingly suffers the night

Because with every little thing we say
that rages ‘gainst the storm outside
it makes it longer, and burns it deeper into your mind
don’t carry anger in your room
or curse in the candle light
just bless the storm away
and lovingly suffer the night
lovingly suffer the night.

Amores, Tinieblas
(love, the abyss)

If ever you were to bleed
from the wound where the messenger came
in a tear, from the flesh of a star,
even believing in everyone,
they’ll still finally be bleeding you,
wringing tears, ripping flesh from the Star.

And if it kills to leave the living world
then why does Kali do what she does?
Then now your tears are a little late.
Imagine if you’d only believed in love from the start.
Oh, but now I am aware.
Oh, but now I am aware.

Amores, Tinieblas (love, the abyss)
Porque tu no contestais (for you answereth not)
Amores, Tinieblas (love, the abyss)
Porque tu no contestais, amor (for you answereth not, my love)

And now that Jesus’ tears have washed away,
what will Kali do when she comes?
Then now your tears are a little late.
Imagine if you’d only believed in love from the start.
Oh, but now I am aware.
Oh, but now I am aware.

Biological Fury (2004)

Gave me a god that I can see
like the pictures on tv.
Biological fury has got a waxing grip on me.

And even if you keep searching the stars
you’re doomed to supercede the mass of what you are.
So give on in to please the clamors of your right and wrong;
They’re getting strong (x2)

Misused the milk of my mother’s breast
and just let God sort out the rest.
Infused the lust of the Science God;
He gives Gaia the deadly prod.
He builds me a bitch that I can seat
where Mother Mary used to be.
Biological fury has got a waxing grip on me.

And even if you keep searching the stars,
you’re doomed to supercede the mass of what you are.
So give on in to please the clamors of your lonely soul.
It’s getting cold. (x2)

Moon Over Lemuria (2004)

In the astral clime of my mind
I searched between the ley lines
for you
The loveless ones, all the while,
magnified the last mile
into the blue
With jaded eyes upon me, the dreaming child accomp’nied
by the eyes of the Dove
She drowns in the sunshine
like a weak trip in the daytime,
my Love

As a child I once drowned in an endless sea,
and learned the reason She was looking down
Lady Luna, She was so in love with me,
“Make me a god! I’ll chain the seas down,
never ever to return to ground.”

Never ever to return to ground

And the dragons, they had wanted
to keep us ever daunted
in this prison of flesh and blood
But She smiled on Terra Nova
and saved us from Jehovah
as He drowned us in the flood
And while still trapped in the third deep
would my consolation I keep
in the eyes of the Dove
She drowns in the sunshine
like a weak trip in the daytime,
my Love

And Lady Luna, She is still in love with me,
and I can hear Her as She’s calling down:
“My darling, Mercury! I crown, to stay with me,
to chain the oceans to the ground!”,
I heard my Love above resound, and
the most beautiful of all stars I’ve seen
is the moon over Lemuria
Lady Luna, you’re the only girl for me,
so chains the oceans to the ground, ’cause
I’m permanently leaving town

permanently leaving town

(interlude)

with Akasha’s eyes upon me,
the dreaming child, Mercury,
flies to the Dove,
and We drown behind the sunshine,
like a weak trip in the daytime,
high in Love

As a child I once drowned in an endless sea,
and learned the reason She was looking down
Lady Luna, She was so in love with me,
“Make me a god! I’ll chain the seas down,
never ever to return, and
the most beautiful of all stars I’ve seen
is the moon over Lemuria
Lady Luna, you’re the only girl for me,
so chains the oceans to the ground, ’cause
I’m permanently leaving town

permanently leaving town

Soldier Baby (2005)

Don’t be cradled by the night
when the night’s a night like this.
These demons drip down the streets,
the Darlings dodging their kisses,
and sometimes demons will miss,
and sometimes darlings get hit,
but they’ve been doing it from the last time
(doing it from the last time)

So when you reach for the sky,
like you’ve been doing today,
and you sing sweetly to me,
somehow been told what to sing,
it’s made macabre by the fact
that you are fading away,
dripping one drop at a time,
through the holes in your veins

You claim to feeling defeat,
but I can’t believe anything you say,
’cause you crave the creep on the street,
and your eyes don’t lie to me,
so I soldier on.

So when you reach for the sky,
like you’re surely doing today,
and you sing sweetly to me,
somehow been told what to say,
it’s made macabre by the fact
that you are fading away,
dripping one drop at a time,
through the holes in your veins

Great Mother grabs on my shoulders,
and I cry ’cause I want to save you,
but you crave the creep on the street,
and your eyes don’t lie to me,
so I soldier on.

(repeat first verse)

Amores, Tinieblas, pt. 2

Goodbye Song (2009)

Now our time is all run out
And we revel in the end
No I’m not ashamed to say
that I’ll miss you like a friend

Cause we’ll never be again
Guess I may see you around
The time for making dreams is done
Thanks for being home

No I’m not ashamed to say
I wouldn’t mind another year
Blissful weekends with my friends
All the sounds that we would hear

But it’s time to move along
And so I’m writing you this song
May the dreams you helped us dream be blessed
And come to pass very soon

And maybe we’ll be drivin’ by
Take a moment to say hi
.
