Nocturnal hypnotists
cultivating their herds
work they say
but they don't pay
or at least not very much**

Acid Dreams
Lucid screams
a hazy comfort cloak

Rabid schemes
and neon scenes
thickly veiled in smoke

Trance people
dance in slaving swing
chirping sound of sickness
like birds w/ broken wings

Weekenders
w/ tongues tabbed
tie-dyed eyes
awaiting for the cosmic ride

The gate is open
chain is unlocked
the jury has spoken
and they figured us out

You wanted freedom
and that's what you got
we wanted forever
but I got caught

So say goodbye to tomorrow
because baby, it never seems to come

Sacrifice
Oh sacrifice

Four stone walls
Summer breeze
insomnia
climbing trees
Barren prison
fire on the beach
sullen silence
the sweetest melody

I'll say goodbye to tomorrow
for you, so you can run

Sacrifice
Oh sacrifice

My Gods are old and cruel
and it is their time to exalt my earthly incarnation
Get in, get out or burn w/ sheepish-shadowy ignorance
anointed w/ oily vibrations and good times
and those who turn their back
will suffer for all the sins of the world

A moon
ground of wooly cotton
baby blue back

When they created the airplane
did they think to search for heaven?

Turbulence
The scenery is beautiful
but outside is death

Electricity chills my spine
as I sit I long for wine

500 feet below
is a puffy Picasso
Gold sun shines above
Reflective ocean blue
swirling and holding rain
up here so high
up here in the minds eye

It's a psychedelic perspective
Cumulus accumulated
up here
no man should truly be
Yet I do feel like I'm free

Witness the sweet sunset
high above the clouds

Adversity drips phoniness from your bones

You have two faces
and I say it not because I'm high
it's simply 'cause I feel your vibes

My sharp shark mind
wading through the unconscious ocean
and stretching space and time
up here so high
up here in the minds eye

Elevate the sound
Slowly and surely
you have to listen
smell, taste and touch
the music

Alcohol? Yes.
Drugs? Yes.
What kinds? All kinds.

60 people in a room w/ worn out walls
an unwanted male is followed by hecklers
the matriarchs have had enough
and bull him to the door

He doesn't want to leave
the party is just beginning
The clowns follow him
like wild hyenas

He fights like a lion
targets the clan of the matriarch
the young and weak

is it correct to aim the violence on the weak
because the strong is of the opposite gender?
Is it right to abuse the rule
Woman: the untouchable

People being to watch
w/ their dying spectators eyes

in another section a large male confronts the house owner
They begin their violent dance of limbs

Swarming bodies collide
violent outburst
chaotic music to accompany
I scream a devils scream
fighting everywhere

Another matriarch
she jumps on the crowd
using a whiskey bottle for a club
dancing on top of the twirling bodies of energy

A pit-bull barks aggressively
people start to jump out windows
everybody is way too high

The fighting stops
with the arrival of cops
nobody listens
their vision of authority thwarted
nobody is arrested

narcotics present
amphetamine fuel

We burned a cross in a large fire half an hour earlier

Can't promise
I'll never make you cry
like all those love songs say
but I promise
to keep you by my side
until a better day

Luckily kissed by fire
you can have my heart for free
consider me

Stepped into humbling darkness
on that wild, desperate day
The devil was a woman
I could tell by how she swayed
She gave me calloused fingers
as she dragged me away

Spirit of sweet music
it's to you that I pray
The shark is breaching water
calm death under waves
ruby red ocean
where the chosen people play

Rose to the surface
Purpose worthless, circus frayed
Wild city circles
where the game of death is played
lord can you hear me
as I sit and blindly pray?
