Amid all known beauty and shame
Lies a man who says he bears no name
Surrounded by voices he speaks
Of the future, with a madly streak
And around him, the circle, it grows
In their eyes the desire the know
But their stomach it quivers inside
For they fear he's truly their guide
Yet his speech is so clear and direct
To their knees they must fall and neglect
Petty crimes, great schemes of grand wealth
Future wives, clutching babes to their breast
So into darkness they march, to unite
With their secrets, in halls oh' so bright
Until their vision is so gravely impaired
And of reality they're never again scared
And with all new freedom, as found
Bodies risen from beds, to the ground
Till all earth is filled with lust and deceit
For their bodies still bound in defeat
So they turn to the one at the door
To revenge their demise, they implore
Of the man with no name, hands with ore
To commence his death, to even up the score
Still, amid all known beauty and shame
Lies a man who says he bears no name
Surrounded by voices he speaks
Of the future, with a madly streak

I'm A Wave (Ron Gang)
01:29
|

Making myself heavy
Just to float back up again
Like a Zeppelin in heaven
Misspelling my own name
Released back to the sky
Given to no end
Of my intake of poison
My quest for the grand
I'm a wave
A formula of crave
Stuffing my stomach
For being crude
I'm supposedly healthy
But all that time a fool
Till tides come flooding in
From the breadths of my own thighs
Now I'm climbing Bolehill
For the guilt to subside
I'm a wave
A formula of crave
Unknown
Now I'm gone
Dipping deep down under
Where leaded trouble lies
Into the smelting fire
Where once a flood light shined
On a town I once called home
On a girl's down curl I once cut
In a room now demolished
Just to be rebuilt from scraps
I'm a wave
A formula of crave
Unknown
Now I'm gone
I have harden with the years
Swallowed all of my tears
Overcame most of my fears
Fucked some of my own peers
Now I'm gone
Unknown

War is a-coming girl
Launder them sheets
We’ll hang in shelters
Reading the papers, watching flicks
War is a-coming girl
Stash away them kids
We’ll be hitting the bed soon
Counting rockets for sheep
And all the while,
Heaven’s a folk-dancing ballroom in swing
Missiles are kissing, what a thing!
Our bed has thrown in the towel, you win
Fear of God out the ring
Still, my neighbor reads Psalms, and hymns
War is a-coming girl
No cloud is in sight
The white doves all hawked
Madness our town's plight
Let’s get the hell out of here, you say
Deck our passports flush
We’ll travel to foreign lands
Buy rainbow sheets, make them blush
And all the while,
Heaven’s a folk-dancing ballroom in swing
Missiles are kissing, what a thing!
Our bed has thrown in the towel, you win
Fear of God out the ring
Still, my neighbor reads Psalms, and hymns
(c part)
How about we head down to the beach
It's peaceful and quiet, just us and the shells
Bag some grapes, an apple, a peach
You slip away to change, I peek at someone else
And all the while,
Heaven’s a folk-dancing ballroom in swing
Missiles are kissing, what a thing!
Our bed has thrown in the towel, you win
Fear of God out the ring
Alas, my neighbor no longer reads neither Psalms nor hymns
War is a-coming
Wash down them whites
Thread the needle right
Sew them flags, white
Yes, war is a-coming
Wash down them whites
Thread the needle tight
Shrouds are on order, tonight

So holy, so lonely
From her bosom down to her feet
Comes summer's harvest, in the fields
She's let it all rip
So tall, to fall
Bronze lips, melted cheeks
Kisses fierce as sea pirates
Eyes sharp as ice picks
Oh, boredom is indeed a chore
Always wanting more and more
Pour me some whiskey, to soothe out my plight
Dreams come play catch-up, in my head, tonight
Out of tune guitar
She'll never be a star
Harmonizing, more like colliding
With the engine of my car
Not a single word I get
She must be in a trance
Dare I put one finger in
I'm sure she'll do the rest
Oh, boredom is indeed a chore
Always wanting more and more
Pour me some whiskey, to soothe out my plight
Dreams come play catch-up, in my head, tonight
There's no telling what's in store
Once you open up the door
There are morals left to fight
Once you turn on the light
'Cause, boredom is indeed a chore
Always wanting more and more
Pour me some whiskey, to soothe out my plight
Dreams come play catch-up, in my head, tonight

Say you will, say you won’t
Say you want me, say you don’t
Say you’re coming home, say you’re gone
Say you want to sleep alone
Say you’re happy, say you’re cross
Say you’re an angel, say you’re a ghost
Say it’s time for our final toast
Say you’re ready, say I’m lost
Say it in English, say it in Greek
Put your mind to it
Come on baby, made it stick
It’s OK
Anyway I’ll stay
Say you’re now a vegetarian
Say you’re only eating fruit
Say you want to be a Presbyterian
Say you’re for killing all the Jews
Say it in English, say it in Greek
Put your mind to it
Come on baby, made it stick
It’s OK
Anyway I’ll stay

As the body is getting old
You’re surrounded by a foam
People calling you at home
Mostly working on the phone
They won’t touch you with a stick
Stare too much, they’ll call you a prick
But your number they will pass
Mark it up as: “still got some cash”
Lonely, smart and prone to love
I’ve been under and above
I’ve been kissed and I’ve been struck
Drawn forever on a lark
Now that you are coming home
I’m a stumbler, too far gone
Awkward in so many ways
Easy prey, in games you play
‘Cause in matters of the heart
I’ve been having some false starts
So if I ask you for your hand
or where we’re headed,
Simply touch me, all of the way
Don’t worry, I won’t stay
It’s just a thing that I need today
And probably every day
‘Cause it’s always been my faith
Touch someone, you’re good as death
Everything you’ve ever known
Will be taken, forever gone
Yes, I’ve touched and I survived
Lost it all and I’m alive
No more a junky for the pain
I want it missionary plain
‘Cause in matters of the heart
I’ve been having some false starts
So if I ask you for your hand
or where we’re headed,
Simply touch me, all of the way
Don’t worry, I won’t stay
It’s just a thing that I need today
And probably every day

You think your love is something so unique
That you can gather all the pieces as you leave
Spice them and up and serve them on the side
While you, the main dish, never have to slide
You think that happiness is dumbfounded and blind
Down at the corner it is paddling up for dimes
You think you're kingpin of all that is fine
A masterpiece in making, a tantalizing prime
Still you're chilled by the sound of a young baby crying
You're fearful of storms and of the moon rising
So basic your failure to stand, on your own
To learn how to walk with no shoes without whining
To stand in the wind with no coat and be smiling
To feel young and whole, for simply being yourself
So with all false force you muster up your pride
Exposing teeth where kissing lips abide
Revenging demolitions brought up by the cure
Investing all your time in figments so obscure
Still you're chilled by the sound of a young baby crying
You're fearful of storms and of the moon rising
So basic your failure to stand, on your own
To learn how to walk with no shoes without whining
To stand in the wind with no coat and be smiling
To feel young and whole, for simply, being yourself
Warm voices are calling your home
Your dad keeps on dialing, so pick up the phone
Still your pain keeps on echoing strong, like a drone
The charge in your fists it is real, you believe
To wipe out the deeds with a blow, you conceive
Still your fear keeps you locked up and chilled, all alone
Maybe one day you'll wake up in a storm
Your baby’s crying, your wife is not at home
Your bare feet stepping on a wooden floor
Will spell you forgiveness to your very own
Then you won't be so chilled by the sound of the crying
You won't be so fearful of storms and moon rising
You'll be on your own, and still, you’ll feel warm
You'll walk with no shoes alone with your darling
You'll stand in the wind with no coat and be smiling
And you will feel young and whole, for simply
Being yourself

George opened his eyes, saying: what is this place?
Have I fallen dead, or is this outer space?
People around here are talking about peace
“Revolution’s over”, or something like this
If something is wrong, fix it up in a song
Georgie got up, said: where is my mom?
I can’t seem to find her, I believe she’s all gone
There’s nothing to eat, the house is a mess
She left a note on the fridge: “I’m out getting ass”
If something is wrong, fix it up in a song
Now men will be boys, and girls shall be wives
The Lord has a plan, for all suffering and strife
Keep all women at bay, for if they be truly free
Aggression of men be just a faint memory
For the rule book has been written, by boys just like me
With fear in their hearts, of being forgotten, out at sea
For a woman of means, independent and able
Would never keep a man as a horse in a stable
She’d send him running free, for he can be such a pain
There’s way too much loving, you know, to maintain
If something is wrong, fix it up in a song
Well, Georgie’s quite like you, at times he is dim
But lately it’s been boring, being part of the scheme
He thrown out the rule book, got nothing to hide
A unique individual, still fighting the tide
He’s doing the folk clubs, finger in ear
The spark in his eyes all but quite disappeared
But when out on the road, he’s the king of a stall
At a rest stop in Texas, he’s running it all
Oh … if something is wrong, fix it up in a song
Oh … if something ain’t right, well, come see me tonight

You've been away, you took your time
You lost your mind, now you are mine
Locked in a basement of a house you never been to ... I'll be kind
I'll spare you all the courtesy
The higher praise, the sublime
And when your scream your anger out
I'll tell you: "you'll be fine"
I'm leaving you, for a while
When you'll wake up, you'll be fine
Some things are better left behind
Just let your body be your mind
And its becoming dark and cold
Your feet are numb, your shoulder cry
The chains cut through your flesh
You barely move, but yet you smile
As silhouettes appear before your eyes
You wave them off, until they die
Then morning creeps in through the shades
Some cars are passing by
