suffragette city is gonna fall
suffragette city gonna take you all
down with it
where you belong
get out your whistle
and blow my mind
show me a real good time
jesus was a hippie
i’m a hippie too
we’re all hippies
in this together
so why not say i love you
tell her to figure it out for herself
there’s golden in the ghoulish ways
don’t get your legs crossed up
in the rope of my suspicion
do what’s right for the unborn children
don’t let them blink
an eye in this world
not a single eye child
jesus was a hooker
i’m a hooker too
we’re all hookers
in this together
so why not say i love you
let me tell you one way
you gotta love each other
let me tell you another way
you gotta kill each other

light years away from here
i saw my baby
she was looking
like an angel of three
and then she came
and she called upon me
she said
the light and the dark
can smother you
in your sleep
but take it from me
you can’t compete
and i shiver down
hmmm
did you hear me
i was
screaming at you soul
bebop
clap your hands
i’m gonna treat you
like a girl again
let me see your heart attack
let me feel your breaking back
bourgeoisie
i love thee
i am hypocrisy
and it’s the beginning of our new age
the day the velvet underground threw me on stage
i went over her head
and under her skin
and then life took it’s hold on me
and i started to sin
Saturday is the best
god damn day
to take your friends
out
and have a play
light years away from here
she floats into
the sea
of the infinite
sincere
Your Starving Heat.mp3
(recorded 12-12-09)
Galileo walks
the door knocks
i see your face as it breathes
let me go
angel of mercy
let me go
can ya feel
step up to the plate
take the bait
learn to live and love
or else you’ll hate
bourbon is for losers
and i’m losing you
i’m teaching myself Kung Fu
this is the dawning
of a new
attitude
your starving soul
emits such heat
laissez-faire economy
lifts my spirits high
oh you gotta set ‘em free
telling her that she’s the best
and that’s the rest
of her life
in your hands
shout
scream
let go
and we’re goin’ crazy
let me be
your sycamore tree
Tiptoeing to India.mp3
(recorded 11-29-09)
shuffle the deck
erase the destination
bomb the new edition
tavern in the misty mountains
foaming at the air conditioner
believing in the rusty warrior of peace
go forth and communicate
in the bastard rides matchmaker
tearing my whispers out of your soul
when your money gets down and out
and i’ve been out
with you girlfriend
screwin’ her again
over my dead numb chucks
rough stuff for the hotel in green
glaring at the sesame seed
the marble cock tells a story
two windows and starry nights from now
i tell the wizard to eradicate the clarinet
and it happened
and it is so
and i love you
and i need you
and i don’t know how to go
and we want to show our feelings
but we’ve got none to show
love takes its toll
love it takes its toll
the Martians are attacking
incredible bible belt
anarchy is contagious
fruit of the pork loin
jumping for Jehovah
creeping in on paraphrasing
only in no window of soap opera can june bug prosper
hickory dickory jones town massacre
get a handle on October
count to twenty-two
western nation tiptoed to India
Oakland is radical
and you
i see you in the dark too
startling me from a deep, deep sleep
tell me how do i count those sheep once again
how do i get back to where i belong
shit there ain’t no time to flirt, fuck, or feel
i just gotta know what is real
so i spend a little money
snort some cococaine
metaphorically speaking
Taking All Our Chances Out.mp3
(recorded 10-24-09)
if you say hi to me
then i’ll be set free
baby why you
do that to me
don’t you know
that your prayers are right
frankly i don’t know
your name child
talkin’ on the tele
three in the afternoon
shedding two tears for me
but i’ll shed three for you
taking all our chances out
and throwing them on the floor
we’ll see if what lands
are numbers we can ignore
i see god
but i never see gaiden
you feel love
but you’ve never been fightin’
can you tell me
what it’s all for
and they’re shootin’
and they’re killin’
this ain’t time
it’s the new foundation
we ain’t lonely
but we go in style
The Charlatan's Police.mp3
(recorded 9-18-09)
this is the charlatan’s police
we are the angels in the beast
we know there’s one way to forgive
but we are not living it
dye your eyes
dyes your hair
dye your skin
your lovely skin
i am your suffering soldier
you are my love disaster
when will we ever just show our hand
when will you awaken
Turning Towards Kashmir.mp3
(recorded 8-02-09)
blood don’t care for tv
she don’t really care for serendipity
bravo! you are golden
bravo! you are beer
everyday a kudzu
and a breakthrough
turning towards kashmir
wake up! vitamin D
wake up! vitamin C
practice makes perfect
get off your ass and love one another
in the struggle for the chime
maybe you should take a look
into the sublime
blood don’t need to hide
she should just enjoy the ride
then the winds will subside
and you’ll show her how to glide
in the tumble of the dry
maybe time will open up its third eye
wishing for the first time
(recorded 5-26-09)
i feel you cry
in my mind
suddenly we are old
and wishing for the first time
that we caught each other’s eyes
misery, fuzzy, Calgary, in fantasy
well i love her
she’s my baby
and she love me
together we lazy
what you talking ‘bout Charlie
you know we’re dying every day
of the week
i know your god
and i want him tonight
baby you are
so divine as i shoot you
into the mainline
be afraid of me
i’m a killer
but always out of mercy
i don’t know
why you go
what you do
when you do it
i don’t know you
i can’t hear you
i don’t feel you
this ain’t the real you
i feel your pain
in my brain
but i will not stress
what god has made
smile everyone
when the summer strikes
(recorded 4-11-09)
when the summer strikes
and the land washes over my thighs
traveling all my life
there is a property
it is tastin’ really funny
over the unknown soldier
over my bloody body
telling the shoes to ride away
in the night, in the night
baby’s got some new attitude
comin’ round here
i ain’t gonna feel her no more
this be the day
we get together
and love each other for a change
talkie, uh, walkie
my dear
and yesteryear’s still in front of us
and that’s ok
i feel the lovin’ in your soul today
this ain’t no way to live my child
you must get up and walk away
the channel’s changing on my atmosphere
you’ve got nothing to fear
my dear
you’ve got nothing to fear

the Russian parliament
came into being in ‘93
it’s called the Federal Assembly
the 450-member State Duma
(the lower house)
and the 176-member Federation Council
(the upper house)
Boris Yeltsin is the man
who brought them all together
by proposing the Civic Accord
that got them through the weather
2 years of transition
2 years of civility
2 long years underneath the thumb
of this new bureaucracy
Kremlin, Kremlin,
what you doing
you had better
get your act together soon
Russian revolution
is coming around
now Biden’s on the scene
and he’s offering
a reset button machine
Russians on the prowl again
they say get out of my way
Duma is approaching
go meet them half way
Commie-Commie, Commie C’mon
C’mon Commie, Commie C’mon
C’mon, C’mon, C’mon Commie
