Doh seh mi greedy, thugs need money
Rich, yeh mi waa fi mek some money
Tired a di heartache, tired a di worries
Sleepless night wen mi affi bare hungry
[Verse 1:]
Allow me to scale the basins edges cast afar from hours stationary
Momentum gathering quick around the outskirts of my haven
It seem a semi embedded existence had plans for relocation
Handling paper work is tiresome to swing the weights and cranes
That add to the movement which is sceptical, I'd hardly call that growth
Ushered along a fishing wire, promised a presentation of hope
Which turned out to be a let down, set you off, give it your best
Find an entrance to the pipeworks to dodge the intersections
Plus I know these underpasses well, we have an understanding
Free to come and go as I please so long as I take some time to ramble
About whatever architecture teaches patience if you let it
Jimy up the tiles and brick work, make a mess 'til hearts content
Shimmy up to the perches edge avoiding treadmill mangulation
The air is somewhat bearable at this altitude of makeshift ventilation
Paper mills belch a smog of bitter sweetness
We're one thousand storeys tumbleweed unseen but worthy of breathing
Compare that to the bustle of ivory bone pin stripe madness
Duties seem to drive the occupance of a three piece Trojan gallop
Into the sand trails
On my signal open the flood gates
Watch the beauty in destruction unfold all over the rat race
[Chorus:]
Resting under the pulse, under the skin, content with where I sit
World watching faceless as the mayhem steadily loses grip
In an over populated coma patent ward it's a given
For cogs to turn and brave the rusty build up from the system
Resting under the pulse, under the skin, content with where I fit
World watching faceless as the mayhem steadily loses grip
In an over populated coma patent ward it's a given
For cogs to solder on in fear of disturbing the rhythm
[Verse 2:]
Snap out of that hypothetical daze from flicking filters aimlessly
Straining against the aggression of the current fighting mainly
For a chance to disturb the peace and split the title wave single file
Through the gap, down the middle - keep actions simple
When dealing with the Venus trifid intentions are to punctuate physics
At any sign of a threat scare tactics cease to impress
Plus I'm too worn down by the glare shot around and amplified
By these pain glass windmills clipping the sky
That seem to have sprung up over night
Side by side yet out of sync, irregular blocks are building up
Rapidly changing the face of how landscape breathes in the wake
All that aside soldier on and venture still into the thick of it
Trudging about my business here, fail safe to be passive
When seeking refuge once again to piece together collections made
Salvaging what's possible after sweeping up the miscarriage
The result of an overstayed unwanted welcome
From both sides of the spectrum
Watch tower spotted desired destination, praised make haste
Barely made it half way up the crows nest, swallowed in an instant
Tedious indeed the need to rejuvinate chances grave
Shited once again admit defeat, back to the basin
Naive underline of change so light a candle for this day
[Chorus:]
Resting under the pulse, under the skin, content with where I sit
World watching faceless as the mayhem steadily loses grip
In an over populated coma patent ward it's a given
For cogs to turn and brave the rusty build up from the system
Resting under the pulse, under the skin, content with where I fit
World watching faceless as the mayhem steadily loses grip
In an over populated coma patent ward it's a given
[Verse:]
Make way for the over flowing chalice chipped around the middle
Painfully stubborn charged up with a liquid spirit
Taken from the centre shelf oblivious to the deathly smell leaking at a steady pace
With every little out burst, crown made of cane evaporate
Knee deep in a puddle of diluted cadence
Skimming through the basics straight to the chapters of greatness
We're they ought not be meddelling in a head strong fellow is he
Who will not for the life of all come down from the perch to grounds of reasoning
What is real can hit with a mighty strength
Knocked down with a loss of breath
To be re-born one must encounter a little death
That is unless we are talking about this little mess now tainted
Exploiting ancient texts that some of us hold sacred
This rampant abomination tucked away freely breeding
Ironically tied in with a torture device around the neck
Commence raping of the elements with flaky ideas of cashing in
By catering for the insecure cattle herds of them
The "just add water" generation
Confusing state of emulating
An era that's been gone and for the better say those that lived it
Easy access for the trend setters
Colour blind, black is pink
All feeding from the same segils that were powerless to begin with
What was once avoided for fear of denial from the kingdom
Is stirring shit with the believers as to how these kids were drawn in
Silk screen choker chain poorly welded pendant swiped from the lowest branch of
A lonely planet placed in a trinket box
Along side those oh so important coolness points tallied up for the week end
Shared amongst the rest of the walking dead
Fellowship of empty vessels, penny lost, not to be found again
Round a circular path in search for the holy mountains entrance
That just raises another question
How long have you been festively questing for the answers lost
In a melting pot of tension
Third hand teachings are transparent, let us hear it from the force itself
But the absence of a so called almighty some one smells
And to delve into such issue can be hazardous for the basic
Fad attached to the end of a safety rope appealing to the nameless
Spit polish the dusty crest
Do what thou wilt to resurrect
The still lifeless image of a broken soul by all means interject
If I come across to go forward
I mean I, fuck there I said it
So it's back to the beginning via the ceremony of opening flesh
[Hook:]
One last trip...
[Verse 1:]
This capsules seen better days, the ride is sluggish
Need not complain it trundles
Some say pinned down to axles warped from endless early summers
Buff the dust away, cut the skin - a small price to pay for some serenity
Found sparingly burred amongst the now, soon to be out for the new and unseen
That smell of blood on ever green lingers thick around rusted metal copeings
Silck to the touch in a time where travel was cheaper and not as dangerous to hope
As the iris widens and swallows up the light source, thoughts inferior
As quick as they come delete the picture, flickers out from hazel exterior
Earth bound now, we the impressionists vision with a pulse
Kept sombre underneath the trench coat hiding skin and bones
Greying flesh and sunken eyes exposed when the flash bulb blows in the over heads
A grim reminder of how it is, but creatures seem to adapt to the circumstances
Not by choice, of course, since stripped of those basic rights and necessities
After freedom wars were fought and lost,
Population crippled monuments for their victory
Forced to swallow it whole, snap back to the present think not of it now
For the vessel comes to a slow and these thoughts of injustice are getting
A little too loud
[Hook]
[Verse 2:]
Stop with a jolt from the gas breaks intercom, states the destination
Await instructions from that inaudible voice to behave in an orderly fashion
The most efficient way to move the masses conjested - still fear interaction
And this fly by wire systems coldly automatic
Step through the doors, move forward, accend to street level and face it
Hit with a heavy setted orange air that skulks about the naizel
Ignite a time passer and inhale double dose of poison intense
The extremes one takes to feel alive can leave you walking a triggers edge
So follow my designated colour strip due to the segregation laws
Walk with isolation as the people up there talk
The city melts like suspiria, this hyper active realities bold
Break a sweat underneath the red disc, irritates the skin
Salvation is costly, half life inflations a problem
Sold on the one alternative, your time has come to save our economy
Fresh out of options, signed up, roll with the hunted this is my ticket out
At the clinic soon to taste the wonders promised beyond now
[Hook]
[Bridge: x2]
One last trip neon plains are sick and infected
A happy panic sets in but still dreading the injection
Life clocks been flashing black for a couple of days and I'm spent
[Verse 1:]
The problems have been stacked up too high
And this running trend of apathy paves the way draped over mounds to blame
Soon to be curtains for every man, woman, and child that insist on hovering over
Rubble that's left quietly erupting
My television doesn't quite know how to look at me right
Since I said I'd make it my duty to take out it's entire race
Fire walk through life with faith with filtered visions out of the picture
Now I humbly await the manifestation of eight
[Chorus:]
Omega damned, there is no phone ringing
Omega damned, it is all inside my head
Omega damned, there is no phone ringing
Omega damned, I cannot be all that's left
[Verse 2:]
The future's bright in the literal sense, cup your hands to catch the yellow ultra
Violet gold that's given
With every body racing towards that last piece of haven, tip the scales, cap size
Your dumping ground imprisoned
Deafening indeed when bells ring the sound will cover all spires now counductors
Sending stadiums up in flames - that's entertainment
When there's nothing left to watch and drool at
Vacantly forgotton how to conversate, proceed to chase the sleeping aid
[Chorus:]
Omega damned, there is no phone ringing
Omega damned, it is all inside my head
Omega damned, there is no phone ringing
Omega damned, I cannot be all that's left
[Verse 3:]
And there will always be tomorrow, we will overcome the obstacles
Rebuild, start from scratch, for this scortched earth is plentiful
Surrender your dead for fossil fuel
Guarantied terrain will be saved, solutions cleary there again
But it's too late, pay the toll - coins on the eye lids for all
Permanent fixtures welded shut, now sit down and behave
For soon a rain will fall unlike any other seen before
Beginning of the end, omega damned all praise
[Chorus:]
Omega damned, there is no phone ringing
Omega damned, it is all inside my head
Omega damned, there is no phone ringing
Omega damned, I cannot be all that's left
There is no phone ringing
It is all inside my head
There is no phone ringing
I cannot be all that's left
[Ringing sound]
[Man: Screaming]
There is no phone phone ringing damn it!
[Verse 1: Fame]
We bombing on your sound system, late nights fuck it up
Back alley trouncing in a bucket, yeah we back now
Melting through your speakers opeezy in a plastic cup
Keep your fist up in the air we never back down
Fill the strip, play the corners, dodge the bright lights
How she strip, fill your pockets and we right
Busted pool sticks caught you chilling in your whip
She out looking for sheila, swear to God I never seen her
Sin city flashy, golden gutters big and bashy
Boot it up, who you now? Those pins looking shabby
By now the full moon and high tide got you crampy
And palms clammy, clean it up and then get at me
I skip the cracks when my boots stomp
I ain't caring who's on
Six million ways sucker, choose one
You payless trashy, man I'm lo savvy
City dweller so savvy, pick it up and then get at me
[Verse 2: Ivens]
Tibetan knot twisted around the neck
Apply pressure to play the wind pipes,
Chords struck harmonious pirates of the smoke ship
Exhale onto barron landscapes, we the timelords of the bronze age
Defenders of the grimuar take the pages if you're able
Desalt earth in preparation for the coming of eight point atom blasts
Directionless sent back to the depths where man no longer plays a part
Clutch to saviours frailty, holy harpoons stray off course and miss
Seven daggers of Meggiddo shatter ply wood, truths will split
Take this as fact when it hits you - not hermetic heretic crack pot theories
Just horror genre attic, dissect the classics for some meaning
Intrigued by the obscene teachings, praise to all dream babble leaders
With pentangles on the elbows we smash what you may have believed in
[Verse 3: 13th Son]
I keep one eye burning, pop the crawling chaos
Back to the wind mind loss call Azathoth
The name reigns breathe Logos supreme
Imaginal reality springs forth from dreams
I'm the Weaver Inktomi creating the web
Got my trickster face on now you fade with the blend
I'm the ferry man for the Living Dead it's said
(Got their) eye socket toll, eat the sins with the bread
The Earth's sparks gone dim to Gaia's chagrin
All souls soundblasted by the darkening wind
This ain't no win/lose paradigm rerun rehash
It's now ecology and balance, old ladders are smashed
[Verse 4: Nick Sweepah]
It's inspiration, intimidation then invocation
Now you're inadvertently involved in all this shit by implication
Insipid, insignificant, insects inflame elders
Insane spells get uttered and in turn cause the trepardation
Of your reality, check the veils torn from running with scissors
Agnostic casualty gets a rain of thorns, sky thundering vicious
We roll deep with Dee and get rowdy with Crowley
Plus we're going spare with Austin osman those postures can't drown the buzz
The crown's above so we keep on walking the crooked
Path not left or right but both
So pause, kneel, throw a look and laugh
Someone shook the past right up, fools line up to canonize this
Hear them calling and hide, it's never boring inside the paradigm shift
[Verse 5: Brass]
A crown of thorns point to prose, man o wire strung supposed
The glimpse gone heron, the just a porcelain pheromone
The shedding lies and wedding cries, babies mute to sever cell
How this existential hell, cut a cancers threaded quills
Told to cold relationships and placed to tracement appetites
The gypsey lung the banshee sear
The woed decay on concubines
Fatal as this plague of state, tainted to it's silhouette
The state of glass and sharded hour cut to mute all filament
Anointed by agnostic promise, prone to phantom prophecies
The bland abandoned host, accosted trust to whoms atrocities
Benevolent as the relic set and read by parisian prophets
Built by bread of flesh
And wine of blood to summon conflict
[Hook:]
And I'm wondering how
[Verse 1:]
Just buy into it and you will prosper
These super charged living rates of today have exceeded past the point of
Prior expectations
That any mortal coil could fathom or even possibly hope to imagine that we would
See all this in our life time, it's all there at the flick of a wrist
Wade in a hyper colour pool of selection, healthy choice is a bed ridden state
With so many options oozing from the walls around to intake
Try comprehend the variety spread caked across jittering shutter speed
Through a haze of pretty crystal shards, smoke and rapid ageing
[Chorus:]
It's the well oiled machine that will take you places
It's the well oiled machine that will take you places where you wanna go
It's the well oiled machine that will take you places
It's the well oiled machine
[Verse 2:]
Up the milligrams again, see that's half the fun not knowing when it will stop
It's got to end eventually so supress the vertigo
Look for the seal of approval if it's clinically proven
Then surely it's worth forking out the extra doe for, just remember less is more
It's the new slim line version - yes it comes in a can now
Rewind live television to re-live ad breaks, I'll take three
Necessary to force feed me all this other shit that I don't need
So send it all to my modern furnished coffin suspended up in the breeze
[Chorus:]
It's the well oiled machine that will take you places
It's the well oiled machine that will take you places where you wanna go
It's the well oiled machine that will take you places
It's the well oiled machine
[Verse 3:]
Keep gorging on the water rations, supplies are not limited
Nor do the erratic climate patterns reflect at all on our life style
So rest easy population drowning in blood from holes in his feet
For our own little war pigs empty promises seem to be satisfying
Throw bundles at nothing, straight to the furnace
Funds are secure, build a new base
Let's utilize all of this empty space, anything to be part of the team
While hot the gun metal grey panels expand and breathe
With no dead man device the axels grind running on hell fire steam
[Chorus:]
It's the well oiled machine that will take you places
It's the well oiled machine that will take you places where you wanna go
It's the well oiled machine that will take you places
Intently I watch
The sacred fire on my
Weather beaten face
I feel it's glow
My hand gives steel
The shape of the sword
That will turn my son
Into a hero
Scops will praise him in
Their legends
Bards will praise him in their songs
Eagles will wield it
To high skies
The day has come for
My son to learn
The riddle of steel
The day when his fate is done
When the heritage is
Given to him
I swear by all our gods and by their
Holy laws that I shall obey the
Discipline of steel whose
Secret i've learnt from you your words
Will make me strong should weakness
Or doubt arise I turn my eyes
To the overwhelming majesty
Of the snowy peaks stabbing gloomy
Clouds my fathers sword in my hand
The blood sears in my veins
By my heritage by my legacy to you my father
I swear to guard the secret of steel that
Fills warrior's heart with might
Oh father that called me to this
World should this be your will
I'll obey
This proves how worthy I am
Oh my ancestors glory and fame
Thunder behind me glory ahead
Nothing can drag me away from the gods' path
Shown by my father for I am the man
The wind in our banners
Thousand thrones roar
Signals to mortals
The outbreak of war
Now comes the time
To repay for blood
That she'd our father
For their ruined homes
Desecrated by christian dogs
The wolf way i'll fight
Eagle sign meaning will give
To offering in battle fulfilled
Bloody glow upon the sky
Steel hooves beat the earth
Here come the chariots of gods
Can you hear the stories
Told by the melody of horns
Can you see the swords
Shiny like evening stars
Can you see the horses
Running like morning breeze
In the fires of battle
Death called lords and servants
Brave warriors sleeps
The long-lasting sleep
Underneath the earth
Where the great river's bank
Was the colour of mother's tears
Wake up you heroes of forgotten days
Arise you valiant warriors
It's time to fight, the night descends
Saddle your horses
And blow the horns
Ahead Slavonic tribe
Mothers don't waste your tears in vain
As the warrior who's gone was bold
And death he met the noble way
Out on the battlefield
Over his grave far away in the woods
Let women bow down their heads
Cause men are called
By the mighty horns
Somebody, somewhere along the lines of jealousy and jest,
Forgot on the blur of the freeway lights he could only be his best
When he forgives a plastic smile
And the small timing he detests, oh yeah...
There’s more than one way,
Yeah, there’s more than one way,
Ah, there’s more than one way
To see the world.
Somebody, somewhere along the lines of practicalities path,
Forgotten to the weight of his day that you can think your way into last
Yeah and out of first, but oh Lord, there are much worse things out there
Than that...
There is more than one way,
Yeah, there’s more than one way,
Yeah, there’s more than one way
To see the world.
Somebody, somewhere along the lines of blindfolded misery,
Forgot in the flash of of hatreds fire, that there is more of man that you
Can see.
Yeah, and what you can hear from the ignorant one
Who cannot help what he’s already seen...
There’s more than one way,
Yeah, there’s more than one way,
Yeah, there’s more than one way,
To see the world.
Somebody, somewhere along the lines of golden and glorified truth,
Forgot in the glow of his sparkling light, the complexities of his youth.
Yeah, and stumbling down from the pedestal,
As all of us eventually do, he will remember.
And this time he’ll know for sure, yeah...
Yeah there is more than one way,
There’s more than one way...
Yeah, there’s more than one way to see the world,
Yeah, there’s more than one way to see the world...
Newspaper blanket
And a basket case full of bones and fragmented memories.
Feels like a gambler when he tanks it,
For his loser’s share of empty promises
About who he was bound to beA
And now he’s sleeping on the street,
Underneath hopeless stars.
And he don’t know how to get back on his feet.
And the company he keeps don’t let him get too far.
It’s a hold up and no get away car.
No get away car
And it’s a foreign language, and a bottleneck rolling round on the ground.
What a sad sound it can be.
Dazed in a daydream that you can’t shake, eggshell and you’re over,
Over-easy
And so now he’s sleeping on the street,
Underneath hopeless stars.
And he don’t know how to get back on his feet.
And the company he keeps don’t let him go too far.
It’s a hold up and no get away car.
No get away car.
It’s candy cane cancer,
And a sweet tooth for the devil’s disease.
Everything adds up for a sorry excuse to act like you never had a chance
To have a life and be what you dream.
Say hello to Lonestar beer and smoke fills the air
Yeah, saturday night again and I’m alright
‘cause I ain’t at work somewhere between 6th Avenue and 21st
And high as a runaway kite.
Yeah, I’m sailin’ on the wind, no one, no help from Auntie Em.
No thank you ma’am I’m doing fine
Oh and I’ll just be on my way, oh come what may,
Every night I got nothin’ but time.
I got nothin’ but time
And I ain’t gonna stand in my way.
I got nothing but time,
Even if it’s only for one day.
I got nothing but time
But I’m gonna make it count.
‘Cause I got nothing but time
But only until my time runs out.
Yeah, oh, oh whoa ho...
Yeah, ya know just the other day it kinda came to me,
Like a name you should know but can’t say until you let it breathe awhile
That is that each and every one of us tend to get a little bit too worked
About when and where and who and what kind.
Yeah, but if you stop and think hard about who you really are
You might find yourself a little surprised.
‘Cause the gospel of it is that tomorrow you could be gone
Along with him and her and the rest of them who didn’t take a little time
To unwind.
Yeah unwind, oh whoa ho...
So the next time you honk your horn and curse the day some poor fool was
Born,
The next time you make a fist and close your eyes,
Just raise that fist up against the sky and you’ll see a molehill framed
In a mountain you made throwing the shadow down on your pride.
Yeah, your shallow little wounded side.
Oh my my...
Yeah, you got nothing but time.
Don’t let it stand in your way.
You got nothing but time,
Even if it’s only for one day.
You got nothing but time
But you better make it count.
‘Cause you got nothing but time
But only until your time runs out.
He’s a restless soul.
He’s made a mess of himself again.
He’s got bugs in his brain
And bourbon drippin’ off his chin
No matter what you say
There just ain’t no tellin’ him.
And he’s bound to the road though
It ain’t his only friend.
Yeah, he lives in his head
And he sleeps where he lands.
Oh, and don’t look now man,
But there he goes again.
Yeah, so it’s off to the races,
Catch him if you can.
He’s got a hundred faces and
A lightening bolt in his hand.
Yeah, he’s a live wire and a
Free-wheelin’ one man band.
He’s gonna play all night.
He’s gonna lift ‘em right off of their feet.
He’s gonna shake the ground
Until the stripes jump off the street.
Yeah, he’s a rodeo clown and
Walkin’ catastrophe.
So much larger than life
And he don’t know what he should be.
Yeah, you know friends, no matter what you
Hear, it don’t always own up to what you see.
And that boy has got his eye on the prize
And a head full of wild ideas.
Folks are always sayin’,
“Lord, that livin’ is going to do him in.”
But he don’t pay ‘em no mind,
Cause none of them can live his life but him.
No he don’t pay ‘em no mind.
Cause none of them walked a mile in his skin
Yeah, you know, no matter what you think
Everyone lives their life on the mend.
Busy bee buzz around your flower now.
And run around my hour now, come on talk to me.
Yeah, and busy bee tell me do I have the power now
To name the coward now, too proud to be free?
And ya know you can’t fight the way the wind blows you anyway
And I’m in no shape to see the truth.
And you know the path less traveled it ain’t the safest one no way.
We all gotta do what it is we gotta do.
Yeah man, lead us to the Promised Land
And make ‘em all understand we’re gonna be alright.
Yeah, but Mr. Boss man, don’t you sleep too late
‘cause the ones that you love to hate, they’re always watching you.
And ya know you can’t fight the way the wind blows you anyway
And I’m in no shape to see the truth.
And you know the path less traveled it ain’t the safest one no way.
We all gotta do what it is we gotta do.
Ohhh
Yeah, hey mangy dog look at him standing in the grass
Just out of your grasp, oh but one day.
Yeah hey mangy dog, I know you’ve been chained up too long
And we all know that you’ve been wronged
And wronged never stays down for long.
No wrong it never stays down for long (repeat 3x)
Why you gonna keep ‘em down that long?
Yeah and Mr. President, I know you think your heaven sent
To save us from the tyranny of evil men,
But who’s gonna save us from ourselves?
Yeah Mr. President, it seems to me that you’re hell bent
On taking everything that you can get,
And you just don’t know when to quit.
No you just don’t know when to quit (repeat 3x)
Firefly, first star I see tonight, light the way
Through cursed grays and wicked days
Heavier, the iron bell sounds loud and clear,
Oh and swingin’ wide the church doors welcome his messengers here
Good Reverend Phelps dancin’ in his bible belt
Oh how he shines
He lights the way
Teaches love through hate
And war from faith
And his children sing
His hypocrisy while he slams his gavel down
Oh protest parade
Smugly smiling at their world gone wrong
You firefly
Fuming rebel brigade
Sad procession feeds out into the street
Silent hero’s laid their lives down for what they believed
Only to be ambushed there by those they sacrificed for
Homemade christianity painted on picket signs they wield like swords
Tell me Mr Phelps, yeah, does your God look like you?
Does He condemn our differences they way you do?
And will He call for you when you lay your head down to sleep?
Don’t you know forgiveness is, loving your enemy?
You firefly
Oh can you tell me why
You firefly
You firefly
Can you tell me why
It’s a rainy day in Neverland
It’s a blanket right above the sand
And it’s marbles that play in the palm of your hand
And the lightening shadow chasing
And time’s a wasting.
In my mind I can fly,
Over the mountains, through the clouds, to the stars
And in my dreams I can see myself as a child,
Day without end, world overgrown and wild.
Yeah, in my mind I can fly.
An alarm clock buzzin’ my island away.
I’m sorry I gotta go but there is no time to stay.
Oh, but far be it from me to insight a riot of disbelief.
Yeah, the only way to dream is to close your eyes and make believe.
I can fly,
Over the mountains, through the clouds, to the stars
And I can see myself as a child,
Day without end, world overgrown and wild.
Yeah, you just have to believe.
And we all die a little every day,
Bright blue bending to the will of darker gray.
Yeah, and your glass is half empty anyway.
Oh but wait, yeah there may be another way.
Oh you can fly,
Over the mountains, through the clouds, to the stars
And you can see yourself as a child,
Day without end, world overgrown and wild.
Yeah, you just have to believe...
That you can fly
Yeah, you can fly,
Yeah, you can fly.
