I am the Pedestrian
In the parking lot
Dodging cars
That want my spot
You’re so serious
With your comical self
Better to put that attitude
On the bottom shelf
This is, This is
This is
This is
This is the age of disclosure
Not the age of these clothes here
Can ya, hear me
Or is your tailor pulling
A swift one on ya
The top
Its buoyancy
Yeah
Its falseness
Deplorability
A prostitute of the highest paid
Make believe you’re getting laid
I am the Pedestrian
In the parking lot
Dodging cars
That want my spot
You’re so serious
With your comical self
Better to put that attitude
On the bottom shelf
This is
This is
This is
This is
This is the age of disclosure
Not the age of
These clothes
You hear?

Star Shines

Hello my old friend
That’s right,
It’s me again
This time,
Let’s never end
‘Cos we were little Star Shines
Sitting on the corner of
Hollywood,
Somewhere in time
Las Palmas,
Errol Flynns too
Cherokee,
On the wall
The cuckoo knew who flew
We walked for miles
We wore sad smiles
Life made you
Glad to be wild
‘Cos we were little Star Shines
Sitting on the corner of
Hollywood
Somewhere in time
Holding court in our Garden Apartments
Shot down
To hell
Like we were forgotten
Shot down
To Hell
We were shot down to Hell
Living a four letter word called Pain
Sleeping on rooftops
Riding Night Train
Our numb bodies getting fed by the sun
We were shot down to Hell
Down down below
The lowest low
No earth person
Would ever go
We were little Star Shines
Sitting on the corner of
Hollywood,
Somewhere in time
Cathay was Grande,
So was the Mayfair Market
I went to Planet Orchid,
So I could forget about it
Forget about it,
Forget
We were shot down to Hell
Living a four letter word called pain
Sneaking into the Vine Lodge,
The Gilbert and Mark Twain
Oh help me,
Brother,
Can you spare a dime?
Cos I’m shot down to Hell
Hello my old friend
Remember when
That’s right,
This time lets never end

I ran out of water
I guess I’ll just have to drink me some wine
I’m ‘bout to have a good time
Oh man, I ain’t got no words
For this type of song
You might think I’m wrong
Sorry for ya
Sitting in a sea foam box
Watching cockroaches crawl on walls
I ain’t got no cigarettes neither
That’s ok, cause I quit last fall
Oh man, but how I miss that first hit
Oh the Devil and the Good Lord
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Standing face to face
Like you’re in some kind of outer space
That middle place
Sitting in a sea foam box
Watching cockroaches crawl on walls
I ain’t got no cigarettes neither
That’s ok, cause I quit last fall
Oh man, but how I miss that first hit
I can almost breathe the air
I can see General Hospital from there
Right in that corner there
Are you living off of the moonlight
Well, you ain’t gonna get too far
It’s just a dim cheap light
Sitting in a sea foam box
Watching cockroaches crawl on walls
I ain’t got no cigarettes neither
That’s ok, cause I quit last fall
Oh man, but how I miss that first hit

Free Consciousness
02:49
|
|
||
Genocides committed
Punishments inflicted
Brother against brother
The art of war
The killing floor
Our world has no need for that
No
No more
Enslaved and outraged
Distorted histories
No fact
Here is no place for that
“Love thy neighbor as thyself”
Everyone has a Free Consciousness
Everyone has a Free Consciousness
Everyone has a Free Consciousness
Everyone has a Free Consciousness
“Please don’t take revenge and be angry at your own people”
Territory disputes
Terrified destitutes
Mother and Child
The art of war
The killing floor
Our world has no need for that
No
No more
Enslaved and outraged
Distorted histories
No fact
Here is no place for that
“Love thy neighbor as thyself”

Stop
Stop
Stop
Stop and tell me about yourself baby
Stop talking and tell me all about yourself
I’m listening
I want to hear, everything there is to know about you baby
Beware of False Prophets
They lie to your face
Replace TRUTH with fear
Or maybe you don’t care
Or maybe you’ve taken that old road
Before you look any further
Than your own face
You have been here before
You just don’t remember
You have been here before
You just don’t remember
You have been here before
You have been here
What?
I don’t understand
They can take the air out of any room
So you better watch out
They can take the air out of any room
So you better watch out
What’s happening here?
I don’t understand
What’s going on?
Please explain and be very clear
Beware of False Prophets
They lie to your face
Replace TRUTH with fear
Or maybe you don’t care
Or maybe you’ve taken that old road
Before you look any further
Than your own face
You have been here before
You just don’t remember
You have been here before
You just don’t remember
You have been here before
You have been here
Change is what is happening

It was a cold foggy snowy morning
I pushed you through the snow
The rocks beneath my shoes
Making me walk crooked, don’t you know
I was feeling like I couldn’t catch my breath We didn’t have much anything
Just each other and no place to go
We had each other
It was a long hot dirty ugly Very ugly day
I heard some man talking Like a radio he say
“Into the mouth of the serpent You can not have it, if you’re
A two-dimensional
Living on flat planet, you
You cannot have it You can’t have it”
It was a beautiful evening As we looked up at the stars (that were not ours)
I held my little baby tight
It felt so right
I promise to you
I will always be true I will keep you safe From this crazy place
I promise to you
I will always be true
I will keep you safe
From this crazy place
From this crazy, crazy place From this crazy, crazy place

The trash is in the gutter
And the rain is in the street And it feels, like the weekend When I’m with you
Oh yes it feels
It feels, like the weekend When I’m with you
When I’m with you
Run swiftly through the night With your own life
I know you didn’t think Anybody saw you
Well I did
I know you didn’t think Anybody saw you
Well I did
You blew my mind
You left me numb
I looked in your eyes
I saw ghosts of lonely, lonely lies Ghosts of lonely lies
The trash is in the gutter
the rain is in the street
And it feels, like the weekend When I’m with you
It feels, like the weekend When I’m with you
When I’m with you
I see right through you
All your pain and your misery too
And you ain’t that much
Different from me
Well, you ain’t that much different from me
You blow my mind
You leave me numb
I looked in your eyes
I see ghosts of lonely, lonely lies Ghosts of lonely lies
Ghosts that lived such lonely lives Ghosts of lonely lies

Are you under some Grande Illusion? Or are you just mystified?
Everybody comes to their Own conclusion
Some of us just
Passers by
And I wanna stay awhile

And I want to see more of you And I want to be with more of you
I don’t want to leave you Oh no, I want to stay awhile I don’t want to go, oh no
I don’t want to say goodbye I don’t want to leave you Oh no, I want to stay awhile
Hold Me
There are no more pennies to save No more wishes to make
Ah, yeah but there are
Plenty of promises to break
And I wanna stay awhile

I don’t want to leave you Oh no, I want to stay awhile I don’t want to go, oh no
I don’t want to say goodbye I don’t want to leave you Oh no, I want to stay awhile
