1.
Goodnight to the Machine
2.One Zero
I've begun
a relationship
with 10
she's not ten
she's better than
any judgement
you know
full figur-
ring as pure
as virgin snow
100110
100110
010110
she's begun
to take my heart
and make it smart
like a brain
self contained
in my heart
drive
100110
010110
that's all she wrote
100110010110100110010110
glowing blue
missing your
gentle kiss
on my lips
silent as
my finger tips
100110010110
100110010110
I rest my hands
3. Dumb Submarine ( into the ocean)
If this is the age of
communication
how come I feel lost
in isolation?
My brain is a
dumb submarine
never descending
into the ocean
into the o
into the o
into the ocean
one is alone.
two is devotion
look out below,
because I am
diving down.
I am diving down.
dumb submarine
beneath the waves
It is so serene.
So I'm descending
Into the ocean
into the o
into the o
into the ocean
one is alone.
two is devotion
look out below,
because I am
diving down
inside of my
dumb submarine.
Is there another
dumb submarine
who is diving
down?
Surface again
glistening all a
round sunlight bending
into what I've found
a new friend
and we are diving down
inside of our
dumb submarines
dumb submarines
isolation can be
something obscene
so were descending
into the ocean
into the oh
into the old
into the ocean
one is alone
two is devotion
look out below
because we
are diving
down
4. Sweat
As I ease into who you are
and how you make me feel
I realize before my eyes
eternity is real
I taste eternity
I taste eternity
I taste eternity hee hee hee
ha hot honeymoon
Cupid had a harpoon
Cupids not a cartoon
Cupid really works and sweats.
Sweat is the perfume of lovers
sweat is the best perfume
sweat is the perfume of love
la la lady girl
ladies got a love swirl
looks like the universe
works and sweats.
Sweat is the perfume of lovers
sweat is the best perfume
sweat is the perfume of love
The best feeling I…
can't describe the fear
the second feeling I’ve felt
is when I turn a tear
when I turn a tear
when erernity
when I turn a tear hear hear hear
the sweat of all the love in the world
the sweat of all the love all the love in the world
sweat is the perfume of lovers
sweat is the best perfume
sweat is the perfume of love
5. Holly Oak
a holly oak tree is shading me
planted by a passerby tossing acorn seeds
until one takes hold and grows to be
a shade of love inside a memory of
you and me and that holly oak tree
when we were young
we could not afford fancy things
so we would swing and one day
we carved our names
forever eternity
but as our hearts
and names distort
as the oak grows to be
a shade of love inside a memory of
you and me and that holly oak tree
a shade of love inside a memory of
you and me and that holly oak tree
I will be home soon enough
nature will make sure of that
even if I forget about her love song
I'm gently tapped on the back
a holly oak tree is shading me
planted by a passerby tossing acorn seeds
until one takes hold and grows to be
a shade of love inside a memory of
you and me and that holly oak tree
a shade of love inside a memory of
you and me and that holly oak tree
a shade of love inside a memory of
you and me and that holly oak tree
6. Space Heater
The brightest star ever ever seen
had its picture in a magazine.
It looked like a motor cycle coming at you
through my glazed glass shower door
Do you know why we all are here?
Is it to love or live in fear of
all of the bad all of the bad I love the bad
I love the bad I love a good badminton match
If you hit me hard this bird will still float
If your heart is large this little tugboat
will pull you pull you to where you want to go.
Pull you pull you to where?
Our solar system is just a teardrop in the eye
of a rare bird who nearly never cries.
Our solar system is all behind the eyes
of the one you love who's your space heater tonight
How she loves all extremes
illuminating my darkest dreams of
all of the bad I love the bad I
love the battles of the bad
I love a good badminton match
If you hit me hard this bird will still float
If your heart is large this little tugboat
will pull you pull you to where you want to go
pull you pull you to where?
Our solar system is just a teardrop in the eye
of a rare bird who nearly never cries.
Our solar system is all behind the eyes
of the one you love who's your space heater tonight
If you hit me hard this bird will still float
If your heart is large this little tugboat
will pull you pull you to where you want to go.
To that brightest star ever ever seen
that has its picture in a magazine
It looks like a motor cycle coming at you
through my glazed glass shower door
7. Love Is Alone
When I am all alone and all by myself
and I am with nobody else
I listen to my heart beat
and see my soul sleep
until the morning comes
When I am all alone
I hear a voice say
Love is
deeper than loneliness
I sit upright in bed and look around my room.
Who was that who said, "love loneliness"?
I know Oscar Wilde said,
"To love oneself is the beginning of a life long romance."
Love is deeper than loneliness
Love is
nature at its best
I go to bed again and tuck myself in.
I listen for a voice,
I want it to begin
I can hear my heartbeat
and see my soul sleep
until the mourning
comes
Love is deeper than loneliness
Love is nature at its best
Love is deeper than an emotion
I feel alive again
when I feel love
life's a surprise again
when I feel
love lives
beyond
the end
8. Special Someone
I am waiting for that special someone
and I don't now who that someone is.
Maybe they've come and gone and
I’ll be here for years and years.
Will I ever know who they are
And what it is they got say?
When that someone comes
they'll open all the doors.
But until you come
why is it so hard
to have some
fun while
I'm waiting for someone to manifest
my many dreams. To make this
bitter world a sweeter place
kicks me in the
face oh
how can I face?
Dead dreams lying all over the place.
I wish that I could erase
dead dreams lying all over the place
I wish that I could erase
what I didn't do
while waiting
for you
I am waiting for that special someone
I'm waiting for Godot where
waitng is something to do.
It doesn't bother me
I hope it doesn't bother you
to face ordinary grace
sweet dreams can be common place.
Now they are in heavens wake.
Dead dreams lying all over the place.
How I'd like to dedicate
dead dreams lying all over the place.
Now all I do is embrace
all there is to do
while waiting
for you
I am waiting for that special someone
I am waiting for someone special
9. I Forgot
On an empty old street
a bare naked lady
came up to me
and said, "why are you crying?"
I didn't know what to say
because when she asked me
I forgot.
She wasn't pretty
but she was smiling
with her whole body
gloriously driving me insane
because I could not find the words.
Then Big Ben told us it's ten thirty
And we were thirsty standing in the rain.
So we opened our geggys and drank the water,
better than a soda
we said "tah" for the black clouds.
Bursting in on us
screamed a police car,
and a big man got out
and said "Why are you laughing?"
We didn’t know what to say
because when he asked us,
we forgot.
He wrapped her body in an itchy blanket
though she was happy without any clothes.
So I opened my geggy and told him to let her be.
He clocked me with his billy and took her away. And I waved like the
Queen of England
elbow elbow wrist wrist wrist
elbow elbow wrist wrist wrist
elbow elbow wrist wrist wristIt was just one of those days
When a barenaked lady
Came up to me
And said "Why are you crying?"
I didn't know what to say
Be cause when she asked me
I forgot
10. Alien Somewhere
all of us are aliens
all of us are aliens somewhere
she fell like falling in love
it feels so good to arrive
missing my train
on the tracks
of time and time
again I keep falling in-
to the deep end to end to
end to end it all
I can't go get help while I'm breaking
your fall with a note that's wrote
by a woman who eloped
with a man in a black cloak
I got a postcard from a strange cloud
and at the bottom she signed
all of us are aliens somewhere
all of us are aliens somewhere
"having a great time, love always"
when is she going to get there?
I wish she wasn't so shy
she didn't play badminton
and it wasn't a joke
she didn't play chess
she just said, "Come on lets go!"
to the bloke in the cloak who broke
her yoke and she croaked
like a baby burping up soul
so she could feel better than before
ever ever before
she got a singing telegram singing
all of us are aliens somewhere
all of us are aliens somewhere
she loves you more than you know
11. I'll Find My Way
I take the path of least resistance
Nothing stops pure persistence
Excuse me if I am insistent
searching for my find.
I lost a love a long time ago
I gave it up too easily you know
Now I am glowing lava flow
obstacles subside
I'll find my way around it
I'll find my way around it
I'll find my way around
to the low
Look out here I come like a snowball
Getting larger with every fall
Soon I'll be twenty five feet tall
and still picking up mass
I'll become an avalanche
You know that big people can really dance
If you're not afraid to take chances
someday you’ll arrive
I'll find my way around it
I'll find my way around it
I'll find my way around
To the low
I'll find my way around it
I'll find my way around
I'll find my way
around To the love
Loveydovey Louie Louie
Gnawing on nostalgic hooey
Is it all one big booby-trapping all our minds
Away away there is a prison
where pathos paves a dull incision
I'd rather root canal a vision
and undermine the grind
I'll find my way
Around to
the love
a tout a l'heurre
