Bell

Has there ever been something new
Something someone never drew
Or a place where the warm wind never blew?
Trees keep secrets they never tell
Reticence, it suits them well
The sea-breeze talks low with a hanging bell
Na na, na na na na na na na na...
Has the sun ever set so low
That the morning slept in and forgot to glow
Or the seeds in the soil forgot to grow?
Lucky day is so punctual
Rhythm seems incombustible
Time, a fugitive, flies like a wild gull
Na na, na na na na na na na na...
Crows in the air circle as they stare
They do no wrong, after all, everybody’s got to eat
Are there bumps on logs?
Do dogs really eat dogs?
Do the turtles ever stop and talk about the sky with the frogs?
Na na, na na na na na na na na...
Has there ever been such a freeze
That the sun stood still and there was no more breeze
Or does the motion carry on and on and on and on…

Bait

Ballistic synergistic counter-cultural mystic
When words are wasted why not use a big stick
To beat and to bolster and breathe eulogistic
The ideological scene is a big trick
Rock and roll, rock and roll
We all knew this would take its toll
Day and night, day and night
Magic moon, a wolf’s delight
Trick or treat, trick or treat
The wack-job swept them off of their feet
Wax and wane, wax and wane
The money rolls in when the melody’s down the drain
Wait, don’t take the bait
A string free meal is coming, save the date
Look, I bought an illustrated cook-book
The grocer does the prep, we’re off the hook
Masters, disasters, psychos on casters
When heads start to roll use the chemical fasteners
The docs and the gurus give flocks each their crackers
While decking their pads out in lacquers and plasters
Wait, don’t take the bait
A string free meal is coming, save the date
Look, I bought an illustrated cook-book
The grocer does the prep, we’re off the hook
Just wait, just wait...

June

Well I've been all around this burial ground
And I just got back from the moon
Well I've heard all kinds of orbital sounds
But now I just want to be with you, June
Well I've broken all my pearliest promises
Words that wallow in the womb and then drown
But I've learned that all the wastelands I've walked in
Are no better than the love that we've found
Well I was searching for the paramount picture
Of the once, now, and infinite me
For a painting of a renegade river
Flowing bright into a tumbling sea...
June
I would like to walk up to your door
With a basket of water and a crayon in flame
I don't know what to say anymore
When the river's a slither and I'm calling your name
June
Now where dancing in the light of the loon
Where the humming spheres bask in the shimmers of day
When I think I can't take anymore
A sliver of dither might entice me to stay
June...
Soon...
June
Moonbeams splash on the banks of your eyes
Pearls of dew on a black leaf turning
Soon
Waters writhe in the turbulent tides
But the pinions of time aren't anything new
As the metronome shifts its disguise
We strain our sciences to find the hidden clue
And as we sink into mariners' skies
The loon descends and he tells me the answer is you
The answer is you...

Lose

It’s a lose, it’s a lose, it’s a lose, it's a lose situation
And you lose, and you lose, and you lose, and you lose
It’s a lose, it’s a lose, it’s a lose, it's a lose situation
And you lose, and you lose, and you lose, and you lose
I’m racing with time
I step out of line
Ignoring the signs
And doubling crimes
Running again is a drag but a must so I must
With any luck I can duck low and dodge today
It’s a lose, it’s a lose, it’s a lose, it's a lose situation
And you lose, and you lose, and you lose, and you lose
I’m racing with time
I step out of line
Ignoring the signs
And doubling crimes
It’s a lose, it’s a lose, it’s a lose, it's a lose situation
And you lose...

Elation

Saw you picking cans out by the docks
Never thought that you’d be all alone
Standing by the subway in unmatched socks
Searching for a mobile telephone
Chasing after every last fleeting chance
Peddling crystals at the station
Tomorrow doesn’t matter, today you dance
Running after soul's elation...
Floating on a bench with Brother Wayne
Never thought that he could show you
Bicycle wizard with a tinsel mane
Seven smiles, seven times a day
Fantastic flips down a Chi-Town lane
Never ending road vacation
Tryin’ to catch Zs on the flying train
Running after soul's elation...
Cross the time zone, save an hour
Toll booth cocktails never go sour
(Would you ever run away?)
(Could you ever run away?)
Running after soul's…

Melon Song

Wrote you the melon song
Sorry it took so long
Sweet, bitter, a bit oblong
Not right but not wrong
When time seems to disappear
You can hold to it tightly
No reason to to fear, my dear
Though it may be past due
It keeps me with you
Kept writing the whole day long
The night came, and then the dawn
Unlike any other song
It’s aiming at you
When time seems to disappear
You can hold to it tightly
No reason to to fear, my dear
Though it may be untrue
It keeps me with you
Something in the way she’d talk
Made me lose my cool and I just had to walk
I wasn’t about it
You’d scream, I’d shout I’d
No way out
I thought that I would put some distance in between
Then I told your ma to back off
She had a hive but this was not her ball of wax
So I packed up and then I tried to hit the road
Who knew it would take me two times?
Peace but a dream in a sleep that we never slept
You sewed your keys in the seam of your coat
Still got a lump in my throat...
Ran right home and tried to relax
Never did I think that I’d hold the axe
But the facts were too strong for me to ignore
Spread my wings down on the floor
So sing little lady, sing for a while
Sing like singing’s going out of style
Crack a smile, my decision wasn’t yours to give
But in the imagination we still live
