Forever and a Moon

Seven deadly debutants
Are removing the air from the hall
Your number clearly has been drawn
And inside this world there’s no law
Come on now, Virginia
Don’t you hear the serenade?
What the kids are needing
Is a clown for their parade
Oh! The disappointment
If you walk away too soon
As this day will haunt you
Forever and a moon.
Under the artillery
Are demons that peaked way too young
Tomorrow it could start again
Or you could say you fought back and won
Dry those eyes Virginia
Or you’ll always be at risk
You’re showing signs of weakness
And the junkies need a fix
Your mother and your father
And your future husband too
Will all take turns at stabbing you
Forever and a moon
Seven deadly debutants
Are once again stalking the hall
And your number clearly has been drawn
And inside their world there’s no law
Come on now, Christina
Don’t you hear the serenade?
What the kids are needing
Is a clown for their parade
Oh! The disappointment
If you walk away too soon
As this day will haunt you
Forever and a moon….

Here Come the Demons
04:22
|

Here they come, here come the demons
Here they come, here come the demons
Here they come, here come the demons
Here…
Here come the demons floating in..
Mr Wright at the board
And I don’t know the answer
He pushes delighting the crowd
The a girl, mousy hair
And a short goodbye letter
Folded in eighths with a frown
Here they come, here come the demons
Here they come, here come the demons
Why?
Why would they come for me now?
Why are they all still around?
What keeps them hunting me down?
When I need to sleep now
Why?
Why would they come for me now?
Why are they all still around?
What keeps them hunting me down?
Please set me free…
Here they come, here come the demons
Here they come, here come the demons
Here they come, here come the demons
Here…
Here come the demons floating in..
Next in line is a suit
Throwing unfinished business
High as he can in the air
Then the things that I said
In search of approval
At someone who’s demons we share
Here they come, here come the demons
Here they come, here come the demons
Why?
Why would they come for me now?
Why are they all still around?
What keeps them hunting me down?
When I need to sleep now
Why?
Why would they come for me now?
Why are they all still around?
What keeps them hunting me down?
Please set me free…

F.I.B.

Yeah, you know Oswald was a hoax
They turned the screws on Tokyo Rose
I’ve seen the Greys a Roswell cage
I put chemtrails in the sky
And I sparked the Phoenix lights
So, I gotta run got a busy day
I’ve been working a deal with the Russians
Got a little Cuban spy
Lining up my alibis
Keep it quiet I’m a double agent
For the F.B.I.
I know a million ways to kill
I’m the eye on the dollar bill
And I got the bloodline I’m for real
I know how the money flows
I’ve lost time on UFOs
You look like you wanna strike a deal
I’ve been working a deal with the Russians
Got a little Cuban spy
Lining up my alibis
Keep it quiet I’m a double agent
For the F.B.I.
Oh, it’s so hot under these lights
And we ain’t going over this one more time
‘cause I got a deadline..
I’ve been working a deal with Russians
Got a little Cuban spy
Lining up my alibis
Keep it quiet I’m a double agent
For the F.B.I.
I’m with the F.B.I.
I’m with the F.B….eye…

Little man who wants to rule the world strikes
Down the man that wants to shape his god at monsters
Who don’t obey the ever drifting text
Who yell crush the unbeliever’s foreign hat and send them
Moving from palace to slum
They try to grow a garden for awhile
Scarcity overtakes them
And down in the dirt they raise a special one
the only one
Heap praise upon
The little man who wants to rule the world….

That Ugly Old Sun
02:36
|
|||
|
Ocean rain, a perfect day
For drifting on a couch
Thunder rolls, Coltrane blows
Magic sheets of sound
All of my doors and windows
Are opened up everywhere
So all of my senses can feel
The storm inside
All the clouds break
And I beg them to stay
Seems that I can never outrun
That ugly old sun
Dressed in gray on a new sunny day
But all of my curtains are drawn
Coltrane plays
But it’s just not the same
“Wouldn’t it be nice”
To hear “Smile” today?
All of my friends on my phone
Are lighting up everywhere
Then all of my senses can feel
The storm inside
All the clouds break
And I beg them to stay
Seems that I can never outrun
Oh, I can never outrun
Oh, I can never outrun
That ugly old sun

Wave After Wave
03:54
|
|||
|
Now above all of the shifting tides
I stay above the line
By holding on to your sides
May you never fall under the weight
Of holding me up day after day
When wave after wave after wave
Is crashing down on wave after wave
After wave tries to pull us
Down into a raging sea forever
I’m not letting go, never surrender
From every side
Here comes the rain again
With it’s howling wind
And uncertain ends
Long have you weathered every storm
While never being moved or reformed
While wave after wave after wave
Is crashing down on wave after wave
After wave tries to pull us
Down into a raging sea forever
But I’m not letting go, never surrender
While wave after wave after wave
Wave after wave…..

Terror At 10,000 Feet
03:24
|
|||
|
Scream…I could scream
But I don’t want to cause a big scene
Inside a brutal war is raging
And I’m it’s only casualty
Everybody else is staring at the sun
Everybody else is free
But I’m at Bedlam
I’m a ward of the state
With my nervous system holding the keys
Hey, please help me
I think I’ve finally driven myself crazy
I need this plane to get back on the ground
Here comes a drink cart
Give me everything you got
A little old lady right next to me says
“Honey you ain’t looking so hot”
You don’t understand I’ve flown a million miles
And I think I may have broken my brain
Hey, please help me
I think I’ve finally driven myself crazy
I wish this plane would crash into the ground
I gotta get out of here
Out of here
I gotta get out of here

Ms. Sebastian

On behalf of us all we feel your frustration
We rightly deserve your condemnation
We can only pray you’ll come back again
Sebastian
Tell me if I’m spelling it right
On your way to get wronged again
Your little friends on minimum wage say
“You’re totally right”
“You’re absolutely right”
“You’re totally right”
“You’re absolutely right”
Is there anything else that I can do for you?
Maybe build you a house?
Make your parents love you?
We can only pray you’ll come back again
Sebastian
Tell me if I’m spelling it right
On your way to get wronged again
Your little friends on minimum wage say
“You’re totally right”
“You’re absolutely right”
“You’re totally right”
“You’re absolutely right”
I can’t believe in the way that you’re treating me
You little brat, do you think you’re deceiving me?
I want to speak to an owner or manager
I got a lawyer to sue you for damages!
“You’re totally right”
“You’re absolutely right”
“You’re totally right”
“You’re absolutely right”
“Oh yeah, all right”
“Yeah, we’ll see you around….”

The Last Of You
03:08
|
|||
|
Ten true soldiers are forming in a line
In the mist of a city that used to be mine
You say the border lines were drawn
By some foolish old men
And you got a tainted war chest
To kill and kill again
I hope we’ve seen the last of you
I hope we’ve seen the last of you
The last of you
There you go giving purpose to a life
“Sacrifice for me, Sacrifice for your family”
Conspire in ivory towers
While mothers bury sons
Sycophantic minions crawl on broken glass
To be the next one
I hope we’ve seen the last of you
I hope we’ve seen the last of you
The last of you
The last of you
….…bye bye :)

Witch Trials
02:16

How dare you curse this village with words
Twisted lies
The gallery, it weeps
Yet you look very pleased with your crimes
The sentence is read
You’ll let go of your thread
’til your bones believe
If you survive the fall
We’ll know once and for all
You cannot be released
I may be pleased but I know all the deeds
Your past lives
Where will it go? That meaningless throne
When it’s your time
The sentence is read
So bring out the dead
’til the bones believe
Beyond the wall
They will come for you all
Until nobody’s free

When We Had Hell
05:25
|
|||
|
Hey, are you there?
Are you alone?
What if I can’t save you now?
Who will come and save me
When I’m spinning out
When we had hell we would rise
Take to the wind and the skies
When we had hell we would
Dream of a life, fantasize
When we had hell we would fall
Stand up and shake them all off
When we had hell we were all for one
And one for all
Please talk to me
What can I do?
What if I can’t save you now?
Who will come and save me
When I’m spinning out
When we had hell we would rise
Take to the wind and the skies
When we had hell we would
Dream of a life, fantasize
When we had hell we would fall
Stand up and shake them all off
When we had hell we were all for one
And one for all
It’s not just all up in my head
I can feel it in my blood
I can feel it in my soul
I know that I am not alone
I can feel it in my blood
I can feel it in my soul
I can feel it in my blood
I can feel it in my soul
I can feel it in my blood
I can feel it
I can feel.
When we had hell we would rise
Take to the wind and the skies
When we had hell we would
Dream of a life, fantasize
When we had hell we would fall
Stand up and shake them all off
When we had hell we were all for one
And one for all
I can feel it in my blood
I can feel it in my soul
I can feel it in my blood
I can feel it
I can feel.

Tea At Bedlam
02:39

Melancholic ravers scratching at their doors
This has been a most delightful tour
Mr. Monroe beaming at the treatments they endure
There’s my favorite shackled to the floor
Let’s retire to the garden
Enjoy a cup of tea
And wait for the tour guide
To take us to building B
Jack is on a table with a dagger from a spoon
We thrill to his baying at the moon
Mary straight waistcoat, vacant glassy stare
From half an hour spinning in a chair
Let’s retire to the garden
Enjoy a cup of tea
And wait for the tour guide
To take us to building B
(Various screams from inside Building B)
Let’s retire to the garden
Enjoy a cup of tea
And wait for the tour guide
To take us………
