BLAST OFF

i'm heading for the dark
take shit as shit is
if you can take this town 
i say good show 
'cause city hall all are freaks
and the coffee is getting weak
i'm going to make my mark
maybe in show biz 
maybe on solid ground 
i do not know
but i'm thinking all the time
and i'm saving all my dimes

blast off i can foresee foresee blast off blast off i can foresee foresee blast off
cast off save all my money 
just for blast off 
blast off i can foresee foresee blast off
chemical take on the chemical for comatose
comatose wake from a sleep that was six months
Rasthof zwanzig kilometters bis rasthof i need it
blast off i can foresee foresee
union pour la promotion de la propulsion photonique
isidis home on the dome of the isidis
tops off i think i'm gonna get some rocks off i need it
blast off i can foresee foresee

and when we get there the irish in
me's gonna claim it for France 
i'm in a beckett trance
from all the chemical 

and when we get there the irsih in me's gonna claim it for France
i'm wearing beckett's pants
from all that chemical

and when we get there the irish in me's gonna claim it for France
i'm on a beckett rant
from all that chemical 


I'VE SEEN YOUR PICTURE

i've seen your picture all over the place
i turn the corner and i see your face 
vehicular billboards reserve you a space
flashing your smile at the entire human race
i went a ways on the road that i was on 
through many days many nights the miles went on 
and still the gaze of your faces carried on 
i red the slogans of the sloganeer
i smelled the engines of the engineer
i saw the profits of the profiteer
put your picture in the statosphere
i went a ways on the road that i was on
for many days many nights the miles went
and still the gaze of your
i went a ways on the
and still the gaze of your faces carried on
i went a ways 


ST. FRANCIS DAM DISASTER

there was a well known water master man
he was the king
he could do anything
the St. Francis dam disaster man
thought she was all right
until around midnight
because that water seeks her own
she had a desire to flow
she was looking for somewhere to go
she was a slave to the great metropolis
she was feeling choked
she pushed the wall 'till it broke
when they heard the great apocalypse
at power house number two
well, there was nothing they could do
because that water seeks her own
five and one half hours she would flow
she had fifty-three miles to go
a cascade down the santa clara way
near sixty feet high
now she's a mile wide
it was clear she was going far away
and whole towns were, too
a few got lucky in Piru
because that water seeks her own
but four more hours she would flow
she had twenty-nine miles mores to go
she carried in her every kiind of thing
house, tree, telegraph pole
some say a thousand souls
at three am she gave Santa Paula a ring
she was still tenty-five feet high
under a peaceful sky
because that water seeks her own
but tow more hours she would flow
she had nineteen miles more to go
it was a real bad night for little Saticoy
El Rio and Montalvo
how many no one really knows
ventura beach was very scary, boy
humanity a pile
she went her final mile
because that water seeks her own
into the sea the water flowed
and now for forever she would go


ROBERT ONION

robert lead me into thought
onion layers wait for you
bounty of eternal fields
every muscle knot i feel feel
robert tell me what to do
tell exactly what you're not

tails pushing grand whales
heads hope to have the stuff
each flag had no sail
can you believe enough?
and though diana calls to you
she will never never yield
every siren has her spot
four hundred million
oh, that is very far
robert sweet onion
makes me feel so tired
another layer and layers and layers oh, no
robert can you find your way?
show me the way to come

zugzwang got me in a way
under my opposing thumb
branishing my shield
robert leads me into thought
into the dimming blue
nowhere in this world

for this old jack-tar
three cheers for robert
to the cinnabar
one ponders layers and layers and layers


STUPID ME

stupid me i deserve it
now i'm standing here all alone
stupid me i'm reserving
all my thoughts just for her now she's gone
she gave me her whole heart
and i threw it away
i'd practice a black art
if i thought she'd come back for just one day
i don't know what became of
her but i'll pray
she'll find true love
oh why did i send her away?


BULLET

excuse me now i've got a call
i'll take this call from Valhalla
please tell my friends from outer space
you are my son you'll take my place
and if the revolution comes 
i've got some good friends there
take my place after all you are my son
you take the moon i'll take the sun
and by the way if the revolution comes
please take my refiles take my guns
a ingle bullet loaded in each one
if you don't like my melody
i'll sing it in a major key
i'll sing it very happily
but if everybody is all aboard
let's take it back to that minor chord
you are my son you'll take my place
please tell my fiends from outer space
i'll take this call from Valhalla
excuse me now i've got a call
i've got some good friends there
revolution comes
a single bullet loaded in each one
please take my rifles please take my guns
and by the way if the revolution comes 
please take my rifles take my guns
you take my place because you are my son
excuse me now i'll take the sun
i'll take my place in Valhalla
and if the revolution comes
please take my guns


THE SWIMMER

in the wake of his chariot
you swam toward the latitudes
leaving for happier times
florida far behind
trying your best you were
ignoring the rescuers
you'd gone so very long
you were so very strong
the scene was so tragic
but that was the magic
will you never drown?
will you learn to use
some forgotten part some forgotten part?
are you going down where the ballyhoos and the tritons are?
you were so incredible
finding all the edible
prize of the sea
prize of the sea
in the wake of his chariot
he swam toward the latitudes
leaving for happier times
florida far behind
in the division pelagic
you where coragic


HERMAPHRODITOS

hermaphroditos is my name
whatcha playing?
hermaphroditos is my name
worship me
hermaphroditos is my name
why are you saying
hermaphroditos is my name?
how do you love me
deeply with your scalpel?
i got a mouthful
of suicidal drugs
i am a dog
i am a sculpture
you hate my features
you name for a god
forget your yin
and go fuck your yang
it seems that you rang
and it seems i'm only answering 
remember when
i was almost ready?
but it was then
that i was gone already
and i'm still around 
but who wants to listen
to my voice in your prison?


I'LL BE BLUE

you stared a while then said to me
give me a smile and aren't you having fun?
stood in my path down in the street
i wouldn't laugh and you looked so stunned
i think you had no clue
i will be blue
like a hermit in its shell
like jesus christ on the hill
i'll be blue
i'll be blue

we had a drink i sang some songs
you had to think i didn't know my place at all
please pardon me for these my wrongs
and i will leave but i won't put your party face on
i'll be blue
i'll be blue
i'll be blue

like the reign of mastodon
like the alleys of old Lyon
i'll be blue
i'll be blue


LLANO DEL RIO

llano-llano
llano-llano
llano-llano
going out to llano
llano del rio
try to find utopia
in the stucco grids and tumbleweeds
you gotta love that pearblossom
it'll kill you just like possum
have you been to the rock foundations? 
where it's mostly known just for the speed
going out to llano
going to look for Aldous Huxley
there between the power lines
and the pruple flowers of mescaline
if you really want to
you can practice esperanto
but in the land of pronto
the wind it tastes like gasoline
llano-llano
llano-llano
going out to llano

llano del rio
going out to llano
llano del rio


IF IT TAKES ALL NIGHT

some call it the ribbon
some say the white line
i say truckstop living
well, it suits me fine
everyday of the week
everyday of the week
we heard some other fellers talking
i think it's going to be a good fight
tonight the radio is rocking
i'm going to hear my favorite song
if it takes all night
if it takes all night
if it takes all night
if it takes all night

i'm gonna wash my favorite shirt
in downtown marseilles
it's got the same old dirt
from up in calais
how many days and weeks?
how many days and weeks?
now every job is important
but still sometimes the money's right
i saw the ghost of Johnny Horton
he said we're going to make El Paso
if it takes all night
if it takes all night

i lost my favorite cook
he left little Siam
for many years i looked 
he said here i am
every day of the week
every day of the week
some got to go and see their mama
some got to play a show tonight
i got to go and see my baby
when next i sleep i'll be with her
if it takes all night
if it takes all night
if it takes all night
if it takes all night
if it takes all night
if it takes all night
if it takes all night
if it takes all night


DOG IN THE SAND

where the water glows
where the water glows
bluish all in black
where the forest grows
i want to go back
i want to go back
let the moody out
let the moody out
ugly mood in you
open up your mouth
kill it with your shoe
kill it with your shoe
if your heart is sad
if your heart is sad
give your dog a bone
see her in the sand
this is your new home
this is your new home
