Cloudburst of a Dream
04:14
|

Hiding in the sun
Won’t you let the blindness come
Your shadow is undone
I believe the light has won
In this arid land
Nothing grows in the sand
We could use a helping hand
Just a sliver of a strand
Rain coming down hard
Tears of a star
Fall from the sky
I’ve got clouds in my eyes
Falling to my knees
In the shade of Camphor trees
Just a quiver of a breeze
Make it pour, if you please
Nothing in this stream
Dry as bone, vapor steam
I can hear the desert scream
Got a cloudburst of a dream
Rain coming down hard
Tears of a star
Fall from the sky
I’ve got clouds in my eyes

Wasters

There is not enough for everyone
But you want to have your cake and eat it too
Waster
Racing to the wasteland
Drinking every drop
Wasting all you can
Waster
Bracing for the impact
Bracing for the kickback
Wasting all you have
There are far too many people in this world
But you don’t care – it’s not your problem to solve
You’re a Waster
Racing to the wasteland
Drinking every drop
Wasting all you can
You’re a Waster
Bracing for the impact
Bracing for the kickback
Wasting all you have
Only wanted to grow your garden
Didn’t bother to beg our pardon
Pay today for tomorrow’s bargain
Point of view will congeal then harden

Down, down down
(They go) down, down, down
Down in the valley
They grow alfalfa
To feed the mutants
Roaming in the fields
They are gigantic
Like tanks with sweaters
They scare the vultures
And squint at the sun
They’re drilling deeper than they ever have before
To find the water that will fill their hands with gold
Down, down down
(They go) down, down, down
Electric fences
Cannot contain them
They can escape
Any time they like
Glow in the dark
Throughout the winter
To find intruders
Eat them for dinner
They’re drilling deeper through the layers of the clay
To find the water that will chase the dust away
Down, down down
(They go) down, down, down

Rob You Blind
03:45
|

ROB:
All you really want is information
I could help you make a little calculation
Only takes three thousand acre feet
Once it gets delivered it will taste so sweet
YOU:
Everybody knows you’ve got a reputation
For greasing your way with lubrication
You don’t care what comes out of your mouth
Hot air rises but the needle goes south
US:
Rob will rob you blind
From the bottom line
He sees dollar signs
Rob will rob you blind
ROB:
All you really need is deviation
I could help you change your sorry situation
But everybody tells me that I’m blowing smoke
Laughing in my face as if I told a joke
YOU:
You still act like I’m on your side
Like I would never notice being taken for a ride
You are like a snake movin' through the grass
No one gonna care when I whup your asp
US:
Rob will rob you blind
From the bottom line
He sees dollar signs
Rob will rob you blind
OP-ED:
He was appointed to a vacant seat
Which he took for a trampoline
To win elections for a higher place
it's gonna blow up in his face
US:
Rob will rob you blind
From the bottom line
Until the end of time
Rob will rob you blind

Don't Pay Bill
04:34
|

|
I know of a man
A vicious wolf in suit and tie
Mistaken for a lamb
Who makes the weakest cub of the pride
Nothing you can say
Will pull him out into the light
He hides within the dark
Drinking blood and taking flight
Hey
Bill is due, but no one wants to pay
He makes a mess, but no one wants to say
The game is rigged, but no one wants to play
He talks behind your back
Whispers nonsense in your ears
That rise in the steam
And plays upon your darkest fears
Nothing you can do
To turn the tide or quell the storm
Approaching from within
The demon takes another form
Hey
Bill is due, but no one wants to pay
He makes a cross, but no one wants to pray
He’s putting all his malice on displace
Hey
Bill is due, but no one wants to pay
He pulls a sword to hold the world at bay
Looking for a victim to betray

Shadows Like Them
03:19
|

Shadows like them
Can show you the way through the dark
Shadows like them
Can give you a shiver deep in your heart
If you don't believe what you see
Skeptical heads could disagree
Missing the forest for the trees
Shadows like them, lost on the breeze
Shadows like them
Were once as alive as you and me
Shadows like them
Used to be shining, young, and free
If you don't believe what you hear
You could be paralyzed with fear
The future is always drawing near
Shadows like them will disappear
If you don't believe what you see
Logic and reason guarantee
Both of us will always be
Shadows like them, missing at sea
Shadows like them
Shadows like them
Shadows like them
Shadows like them
Always hidden from the sun
Shadows like them
End of days has just begun

Irrational Man
03:31
|
|||
|
No one here but you and me
As far as anyone can see
Our footsteps echo gracefully
In an empty travel agency
Bad dog bark for no good reason
Plant the seeds in picking season
Pledge allegiance with more treason
Fallow the land and start again
Irrational man
Irrational man
Irrational man
Irrational to the end
And to the end we go
Irrational in the head
The evidence will show
No one here to make you happy
Or turn off your relentless yapping
Population always napping
Turn your cheek for more bitch slapping
Gone today, here tomorrow
Sticking out like Kilimanjaro
Empty head make words ring hollow
Ego way too big to swallow
Irrational man
Irrational man
Irrational man
Irrational to the end
And to the end we go
Irrational in the head
The evidence will show
Bury your head beneath the sand
Irrational to the end
And to the end we go
Irrational in the head
The evidence will show
Irrational man
Irrational man
Irrational man
Irrational man
