CARBON DATA
scaling and digging
changing landscapes
testing your wisdom
your fathers were apes
chasing down folklore
and seeking to find
who’ll be the first to connect the signs?
we want the truth and we'll find it
in the pages stored by our defense
we want the truth
it's carbonized
sketches and pyramids
they all look the same
eons of bloodshed
spread in god’s name
saucers that levitate
and carpets that fly
i can’t control all the things i’ll find
we want the truth and we'll find it
in the pages stored by our defense
we want the truth
it's carbonized
in vials they'll prove
that life was designed
by another life form with intent
from carnac in stone
to nasca in lines
benevolent foes seek respect
their data our nature
this truth is entwined
malevolence knows no repent
in balance the truth
it's carbonized

METH SANCTUARY
in rivers silenced
there flows disasters
and man
pale winds cannot mend them
these crippled pastures and lands
and now our lives are so entangled
white and walled
see … the hills are magic
hey man, their lives are chapters
and they're born to be massive
they're born to be faster than this
but now their lives are — oh so jaded
spite the warnings
see … the warden’s mavericks
well they've aligned their chapters
and they'll employ their crippling tactics
to bring new slaves to masters presence
and now our lives are spent as strangers
from behind walls
see … the world’s unraveled
it's unspined its chapters and spent
its forever afters
on this mother nature’s present
and now our lives are …
endangered

CLEITUS
there’s this kid
he grew up down my block
he spends his mornings just sniffing paint
his brother’s hooked on crack rock
cleitus
his old man, he makes his living off fixing cars
he does his work all late at night
doesn’t really care where his kids are
they stacked up mattresses
for some backyard wrestling
they hooked him up with a fake cape
they greased him down in vaseline

CREEPY MAGICIAN
when i see you with him
brings a tear to my eye
not so glad to see him
but i’m worried about your life
he’s gonna rope and tie you up
keep you hidden — throw away the key
change your locks out
he’s about to close the curtain
she sits just three rows in
her presence just breathes life
on stage she stands there frozen
she’s hooked for the last time
there is no special way to act
when you don’t want conventional things
he’s a magician
they keep on disappearing
seems so tragic
man needs to make a living
why you wanna punch me in my eye?
when i can’t remember your name
why you wanna punch me in my eye?
i can’t remember all of their names

SEASIDE SKINNY
i met this pretty skinny little girl
at my job — small and fair
had a fling, got ensnared
formed a convoluted lie
told my girl i would hang with my band
smoke crack at her pad
it's time to exercise demons
mixing crack and steady fiending
for a mistress, for a lover
for a whore, and a mother tonight
she's so seaside and skinny
she's seaside and skinny
love to have her
but my thoughts beat me there
goddamn, man i swear
i'll never tell her that i love her
hug her, kiss her like a boy, i got scared
you know, damn it ain't fair
but like her sister and her cousin
when they think of backdoor lovin’
they should stop wasting time
and just get me their numbers tonight
she's so seaside and skinny
hot models with bikinis on
it's time to exercise demons
mixing crack and steady fiending
for a mistress, for a lover
for a whore, and a mother tonight
i like the way that you walk
i like the way that you talk
i like the way that you moan
when nobody's around, i don't care
i’d like to take the time
i’d like to make you mine
i’d like to bump and grind you
but instead i'll just sit back and stare
she’s so seaside and skinny
she's seaside skinny
love to have her
but my boss beat me there
god damn, man i swear
i'll never take her for a ride in my ford ’74
it's too bad, ’cause it runs now, man
but like her sister and her cousin
when she thinks of backdoor lovin’
she can thank me

RATS IN THE STREETS
they have designed a race
to make you chase the cheese
they’ll start ’em when they’re young
game of monopoly
rats in the streets
corrupted minds
they got no morals at all
they’ll sell the humankind
go on and live it up
until the market cease
they’re getting rid of you
they’re getting rid of me

HEY LUCILLE
there’s a girl known by name
puts the other girls to shame
stands 5’ 8” not even on her toes
loves to dress in vintage clothes
black fishnets, velvet gloves
she likes to use while making love
she passed by me one august night
started out real great, but ends up in fights
hey, lucille
why you run around?
you played me for a clown
pass my pomade, i don’t love you no more
that’s the one thing that i know for sure
for the next few days, it was like a drug
that was packaged and sent from heaven above
she took away all the pain inside
but the kid in me just wants to run and hide
for her it’s a game, but i feel so low
and the telephone ring, no answer tells me so
she won’t be with me, for the rest of my life
catch her walking away on a saturday night

BUS TO RIVERSIDE
when i wake up
you will yell at me
then we’ll break up
you won’t marry me
take the bus to riverside
bet your life on everything
take the bus to riverside
better know your enemies
you were torn up
over last nights events
you talk about us
in the past tense
make me wanna jump the fence

TRAK LIFE
her life’s on vacant street byways
down by the breakwaters edge
her life’s in valleys and alleys
she waits by the curb
but she’s fine when she dressed
for half an hour to hour
she waits your abuse
this one fine valley rose
for half an hour to hour
straight waiting abuse
watch how soft dim lights glow
run away
don’t be waiting for me
get away, get away, get away, run away
don’t be waiting for me

NEW BEGINNINGS
expectations, old sensations
and flowers will bloom
always the new thing
it’s just what you wanted
it started in june
you bought her candy necklaces and everything
watch her as she’s walking away
she ain’t never coming back again
it’s always the same
new beginnings, just beginnings to new ends
say that you need her
but you don’t want her
you’re fucked in the head
started out it was loving and laughter
then all of a sudden, you did it again
you had to go
you’ll fuckin’ throw away a perfect thing
watch her as she’s walking away
she ain’t never coming back again
it’s always the same
new beginnings, just beginnings to new ends
you had to go
you’ll fuckin’ throw away a perfect thing
