Lost in a fog, I stumble around, devoid of purpose, searching for John. Turn on the radio, to get my religion in stereo Phenomenon. Cuz the Church of John Tesh will make me grow strong. Help me separate all the rights from wrongs It wasn't Mary Hart who inspired this song When all my thoughts are blasphemy, it's John Tesh who will liberate me. Half dead and gone, I succumb to my darkest nature, deep underground. But then I hear a voice, a whisper on the rainbow wind. Once lost, now I'm found. Cuz the Church of John Tesh will help me grow wings to fly above this land ruled by tyrant kings and queens I will hate no one and love everything. When all my thoughts are blasphemy, it's John Tesh who will liberate me.

Carnivores 03:32
New day, new problems, starting from scratch. Strike up the band with a strike anywhere match. Level the ground and ration the heartache. They want to know where you go to hide, but they fall for your budget dime-store disguise, and they buckle and break, and make all the same mistakes. If all our heroes are carnivores, why are they puking on the bathroom floor? That was strange, do you think it was a dream? The blowhards in the balcony yelling at the screen, and all the modern marvels crumbling at your feet. A waste of knowledge, a waste of my time, despite all the good-willed nursery rhymes, then they notice the blood, it absorbs into concrete. If all our heroes are carnivores, why are they puking on the bathroom floor? Why do they gut the fish before it's dead? Why are they looking for another war? The execution status quo With their brain pulverizing torpedoes Another mutilated puppet show Bodies falling down like dominos. If all our heroes are carnivores, why are they puking on the bathroom floor? Why do they gut the fish before it's dead? Why are they looking for another war?

Sunny Day 02:08
Broken hearted, vilified Don't mind me just passing by. I'm okay 'til the roads diverge. Then I will lay down and die. You won, battle flags ablaze zero in on the encampment the children run and play At last, victory, gig the graves. They thought they could run and hide Daisy cutter genocide Breath in the gas, fall to your knees point your finger at the sky You won, battle flags ablaze zero in on the encampment the children run and play At last, victory, dig the graves You laughed in the sun, sunny day A cocktail party filled with architects applauding an apathetic intellect Monday morning they will build another fucking bomb and by Friday another hundred thousand will be gone.

Luck 02:33
With all the dark suspicious clouds that surround you and the broken liquor bottles at your feet and your self-deprecating use of the english language and your predictable acceptance of defeat It's a no-brainer, no offense 50 dollar shoes for 50 cents. With a gravity defying weight upon your shoulders and your excess baggage being searched by the TSA you conceal all your weapons of mass destruction when you find your flight home might be delayed It's a no-brainer, I must admit, lost it all, and still losing it. Hey hey beautiful day! It never turns out this way. Cuz I'm running out of luck. Please don't fuck this up. We could be the undisputed champions of the world. We could be on the cover of Ringside Magazine and all the cuts and the bruises that decorate your face match the bloodstains on your favorite blue jeans.

El Farolito 03:11
It starts to rain, duck for cover The whole deck's awash, the hold shudders Do you know where the eastern winds blow? And why the waves break on El Farolito? Ballast was my heart, and now it's breaking scuttle everything, I think we're sinking Do you know where the eastern winds blow? And why the waves break on El Farolito? Wait up for me, I might be coming home. From the crib to the catacombs, from the hill where we used to stand to where I now rest on the shifting sands. Forward haste, marching on towards the sub-surface pantheon Broken glass and broken hope down bow and stern, down periscope A city floats and then disappears I can see the lights still flashing 15000 feet away

That's enough bullshit for me I'm chock so full it's oozing out my ears I'll just losing my fucking mind and disappear Cuz the fruit I seek is rotting on the vine That's enough bullshit for me A bed of nails has never felt so good Not missing my lines, just misunderstood. You can grab my skull and screw it to my spine and shock me back to life like Frankenstein It's fucked up, I know forgetting which way to go but the coast from here seems like it's clear clear enough to get the fuck outta here Maybe today, the panic fades way fade away as we drive down the road but return when the engine explodes Cuz the fruit I seek is rotting on the vine There's panic on the streets of Panic Park

Never a day spent with never a tear but she could stare down a rabid dog with never a fear and every night she sets the table with whiskey and beer to her sons who died for the Union. to her sons who died for the Union. Alone one night, her sons knocked on her door. but when she offered them drink, they drank spirits no more instead they plead with their mother for a taste of revenge so they all drank the blood of Confederate men to her sons who died for the Union Fingernails stained, beards dripping red and all that guilt on their conscious flows through the holes in their heads and they'll walk back to Antietam to make their dirt beds to her sons who died for the Union to her sons who died for the Union

So what's the matter son? Your vibe ain't jibin'. when someone looks different, blood pressure rises. Bye Bye Bigot. Do you remember when you were little? Didn't matter the color of skin or who we loved. Bye Bye Bigot Cuz I'm an optimist there's hope for you, but if you're spreading hate I'll walk away from you Bye Bye Bigot

Oh my dear I'm leaving you tomorrow the endless days are filled with bitter sorrow my bags are packed, keys are on the table on solid ground but chemically unstable girl you know, it's unavoidable free will or fate? god only knows girl won't you please call an ambulance for me Don't look around in frantic desperation I got The Cure on heavy rotation Pictures of You The Hanging Garden Charlotte Sometimes Just Like Heaven Girl you know it's unavoidable free will or fate? god only knows girl won't you please call an ambulance for me Girl you know where the green grass always grows even in the early spring, buried under the snow girl won't you please call an ambulance for me

We're all made of star dust or at least that's what NASA fed us and we're spinning on a ball in outer space but I'm not feeling nauseous and I'd hate to state the obvious but when I jump in the air, I land in the same place that's what's called an epiphany emboldened by the new knowledge I have found I won't subscribe to your conspiracies I can't believe those days I thought the world was round
