1. Wicked Sandbox
One day the world will be a wave of anger and hate
That is not the way
And today the water & air fill with waste
But who am I to say that that is not the way?
I want to live I want to stay
You've really got to be a lover of pain
You've got to really want to stay alive in a cave
It sure seems we're headed that way
Progression Expansion Distinction Agression
Bloodshed no more my world
Everyday a million times a minute there are millions spitting in it
How are we going to rise above it?
How are we going to solve it?
How are we going to heal the hole in our stomachs
If we don't even care about it?
You know that not one of us can solve it
The only way is within us all
The only brick we can build with is love!
2. Mini Toboggan
Our old house - Jefferson - when the old church rings - 3:30
Jen & I went out right after school
In the snow - bundled warmly
Out to our hill to build the jump
With bales of hay & icy water
Todder's ready, with mini toboggan
A fearless little man, with mini toboggan
He plops to his belly - in the snow - & he goes
Evil Knievel had nothing on him
20 or more times into the cold blue sky, he goes
"Do it again! Do it again!" Todder gathers scattered limbs
& scoots to the top of the hill again
To challenge all our icy dreams
Home in a crystal winter kingdom
Home in the country's finest farmland
Two brothers & a sister we could fly
Sunset orange through skeleton trees
Brittle fingers & breath that steams
A silent winter sky - that slowly dies
& three stumble home - tired & cold
Ice upon ice
Skeletrees
Rosey cheeks
& dreams
When the school bus finally brings us home
Bundled warmly - in the drifts of snow
3. Energy Mind
Well I wind up my mind
& peel back my eyes
& these diamonds I find
Well I know they are mine
A brilliant smattering swirling gaze
I can see millions of ways
I peel back my eyes
& I suck in the days
The best I've been yet
& everything explodes in my head
I wind up my mind
Everything all of the time
& who am I? To refuse the light?
And I do love the mighty mind
Without it I know I would die
The best I've been yet
& everything explodes in my head
Every way - all of the time - I peel a back my eyes
Hungry -wonder-widened mind
Open wild - open wide
Everything all of the time
The best I've been yet.........
To build or destroy-
Only you decide which joy
4. My Burning Time
Tucked in the mud in a mucky ole rut
Burned & thirsty blackened land
A shattered man in sweat & grime
The best of all my burning time
The mountain falls & the stone erodes
Ambition screaming "Defeat zero!"
Of all the lovers in my life
I love you best my burning time
5. Precious Human Stress
There is only gain in safety
But so we go into the black cold night
Where there is warmth
One must know such a place
The atmosphere is so rare & inviting
And slowly we do strip our rampant desires
Because they twist, & they whip
To the point of gasping nauseation
Cool me mother music without you such emptiness
6. Love, Craig
Oh I thank you life you wild wired mother
I hated you once just yesterday
Only because you beat me
Only because I love you
You made me beg & today I kiss you
Oh I thank you pain you familiar cutting brother
I let you in to show me a way
But you twisted my love into a fang
& you sent all joy wandering away!
I can't believe in your way!!
Oh I thank you mother life
Wild wired mother
I hated you so much just the other day
Only because you whipped me
Only because you love me
You made me yours
& one day I will miss you so........
7. Kiss a the Cold
Oh Mr. President I am a dying slave
Marijuana, Cocaine
Crack a my mind is a gutter spittoon
My loss of life isn't much to lose
What I crave is killing me
I kiss the cold reality
Mr. Sexuality spit away the moral dream
What disease?
Cheap & sleazy fire blazing
Twist the kiss a little colder
Decay---destruction is golden
It will allow me to do anything!
Simplicity
I heard just one wise man scream
Oooh Mr. Solitude now what do we see?
Oh a kiss a the cold deep inside of me
Starving pupil - blackened vacuum
Vacant circus - skeleton zoo
8. Love or Surrender
Nothing is greater… than Love…or Surrender.
Yeeeeaaaaaaaay-heeeeee-yea-oohhhh.
Down.
Whoa-ah-oh.
9. Mack Bolasses
My love is a caldron
My loss is a vacant plain - endless - horse & hay
Black Molasses midnight pours into the lung
White street light stinging rays reminding me
Stainless steel, edgy ray opening until
It is there to see solitude (solid truth) devouring!
Perring tongue - delicious
Twist & tease the shreads of these
Our stone cold moments of lonely truth
Are absolutely ------ lovely
My love ---- is a caldron
10. Blue Fly, Fish Sky
I'll tell you it's a damn strange time for me to fall in love
I want to carry you into that baby blue sky above
Down by the lakeshore we see a million swimming blue fish
weaving through the waves
I carry you onto the sand & we dance like Aborigines hand in hand
Girly whirly gonna share some time together
this soft summer night
Fine wine & chocolates sweetie pie you know
we're getting mooshy all the time
Chivalry and I love you we're gonna soak ourselves
in sweet perfume & fine cologne
Little love letters & cutesy call on the telephone
I'll tell you it's a damn strange time for me to fall in love
I want to carry you into that baby blue sky above
Fine wine & chocolates sweetie pie you know
we're getting mooshy all the time
Chivalry and I love you we're gonna soak ourselves
in sweet perfume this summer night
11. Papa Mugaya
Papa Mugaya - you've really done it this time
You were a man of many dreams
But not enough reality
Papa Muguya - you see how you've lived your life
Never ever satisfied - one more midlife suicide!
We believed in you - we believed
We bought stock in every struggle
We had faith in every scheme
Now it is clear - so many dreams but so insecure
Papa Muguya - From where came this emptiness
Never ever satisfied
Always filled with fire
You could have - learned - to live right
Papa Muguya - you've really done it this time
You're a man of many dreams
But not enough reality
But we believed in you - we believed
We bought stock in every struggle
We had faith in every scheme
It's just too bad - you didn't!
12. Down Beat Dirt Messiah
Down Beat Dirt Messiah
I come up from the clay
I am Earth - I eat the dirt
I am a raw torn broken bone
I say to you I save myself
Take away temptation walk-a-my way
To the light - I know - I can
Make it happen
I can do anything!
Down Beat Dirt Messiah
I scream up to the sky
"Why am I so heavy?" I cannot control this clumsy life
I am a man of passion - desire chaser
thrill seeker - man of passion
Sucking eyes - sucking mind
All out hunting --- man of passion!!
Down Beat Dirt Messiah I come up from the clay
I am a raw torn broken bone
I say to you I save myself
Take away temptation walk-a-my way
to the...........Light!!!
13. Oooh
You are mine
Love is the only thing that can never die
Love is the only thing that can never die!
And you are mine
