about

‎"Risk taking individual, fights against the burdens of life through a quest for excessive stimuli. Not only impulsive but admires impulsive behavior, as this is perceived as being free of the exhaustion he or she feels from everyday life. Best method of entry is to appeal to the novel and the future development of our protocol."

Track Name: Deep Red
Red, Deep Red
was the color of my aura when I got my aura read in Sedona, Arizona

Raw Passion, Frustration, Determination, a sense of urgency
Highly Sexual, Entrepreneurial, like Aries or Mars
Imperial

On fire, a live wire
high flying or die trying

Red, Deep red
was the color of my aura
when I got my aura read
in Sedona, Arizona
Track Name: Let's Do It In The Rainforest
Let's do it in the rainforest baby
let's do it in the rainforest
we'll have a single night we'll never forget
gettin all biological and wet

all the snakes will be hissin' for us
let's do it in the rainforest

Let's do it in the rainforest baby
just you and me
in the middle of the amazon night
behind a waterfall or up against a tree
let's do it in the rainforest honey
just you and me
Track Name: Pure Stuff
You and I can dance and the aether
have psychedelic visions like we're having a fever
make love to a moment in time
every nerve twitchin like we're committing a crime

But first you gotta hit some Pure Stuff
get cut in the guts by fish hooks and such
vivisecting blades at 100 mph
make you feel such a void in the absence of power

You and I can worship existence
come in from the snow and still go the whole distance
become one with a radiant all
listen to the savage beast and answer it's call

But first you gotta hit some pure stuff
wake up in a world that you don't trust
see the truth when you're upside-down
wishing on occasion you were under the ground

first you gotta hit some rough stuff
get your guts caught in unnameable ruts
show your scars when you're struttin the pavement
smile through the fire of a nuclear cave-in


You and I can crucify liars
hang em from the highest tree and set em on fire
run naked through the uncut forest
fake it through the verses
and scream out the chorus
Track Name: Girl At A Party
Girl I met at a party
just one time at a party
disappointing that you had a boyfriend
and I'll probably never see you again

Girl I met at a party
had a few drinks and talked all night
avoided eye contact around others

maybe in a parallel life
maybe in an alternate world

felt I knew you
felt I wooed you
in some small way

Girl I met at a party
smiled, and touched my hand lightly
a little drunk and it lingered

and you'll probably never know there's a song
on some obscure recording about
you
Track Name: I'm Human
Show Me I'm a Man
and not just confusion
Show Me You're a Woman
and not just an illusion

show me
I'm Human
Track Name: The Fog
On a day like any day in autumn
in our township by the sea
came a fog that vomited tentacles
'round the city limits so we couldn't flee

and a face formed from this grey void
with a beard made of spiders
and eyes that made you feel insignificant
like they could flick you like a little fly

and it said that it was ancient
and it said that we'd been warned
and it said that it was hungry
for the flesh of the freshly born

now we wait for the rumble by the seaside
and our throats are choked with black
and we feed it newborn children
and we hope it won't come back
Track Name: Without Love I Feel Dead
You can have your money, you can try for fame
you can play the victim, and you can place the blame,
you can try to have the most synapses in your brain

but without love I feel dead

you can have addictions, and you can hide them well
you can believe in heaven and live a private hell
you can have an auction, and hope your soul will sell


but without love I feel dead

it's nobodies fault
quiet desperation is many a man's lot
and I'm no exception

you can close the curtains and never answer the door
never ask the question and never mind the store
you can talk politics, burning effigies
I dunno what to tell you, it's just not for me.

I forgive you

three sweet words I've rarely heard
in my life

without love, I feel dead
Track Name: On The Prowl
On The Prowl
gotta scratch that itch
a little warm for these clothes and you know it's okay
if you say
that you feel the same way

on the prowl
gonna ask you your sign
and it will
and it won't
be a pick up line
Track Name: What Kind Of Music Do You Play?
"What kind of music do you play?"
I dunno it's not for me to say
and anyway it's all hear say
here today gone tomorrow they say
I've got no way to make your ear stay

When I was a kid I'd play alone a lot with my toys and that's significant in some way
Track Name: I'd Like 2 Get 2 Know U Better
looked me right in the eyes
and I saw the truth in yours
said interesting things with benevolence and joy
a laugh that came from the belly
a smile that came from the heart
you didn't even act like I was a weirdo
you opened the window and let the fresh air in

I'd like to get to know you better

we could do so many fun things
run outside, dance or make something
paint your room, people watch, catch phrase
try new foods, exquisite corpse, foreplay
write a song invent some new slanguage
learn to curse in a foreign language
paint your room people
watch catch
phrase
try new foods exquisite
corpse foreplay

"although, personally madam, I'd like to recommend that last one
just uh.. just sayin"

I'd like to get to know you better
yea
Track Name: Let Me In The Machine
Let me in the machine
I'll sell out for a couple of magic beans
let me in the machine
ch-ching ch-ching!

Take me for that ride
I'll blow that fucker up, from the inside
take me for a ride
sell my soul on the dotted line yea

Let me in the machine
squeeze a dollar from a teenage dream
sell out like the kings
let me in the machine

rub shoulders with schmoozers
make my family think I'm not such a loser
wrap me up in a scene
let it in the machine

Abridge my greatest hits
let me sign some sloppy tweaker tits
all the love I can glean

let me in the machine

Sell my albums at Wal Mart
wrapped in plastic to suburban teens
put me out to pasture at the county fair and
let me in the machine
Track Name: The Illusion
Neptune Eyes
shake my brain with a silver cup
blasphemous fog
a mere iridescence on metabolism

I just can't sell the dirt in my nails
to insatiable walls anymore

folie a deux
schizophrenically vivisected
and while my canoe sinks
the yacht captain drinks his turnip blood

no room on the cross
the ugly cannot be loved

each time that I sink
into the comfort of the drink
the piranha, they circle my heels

so this is my submission
a cancelled subscription
to a vile rock in space
that never was my home

I just want to go home
