Intro (Nonsequitur)

Mary: "Friedrich! Where might have you placed my bondage tools? I'll need them if my sewing circle is to be a runaway success come this evening."
Friedrich: "I placed them over there, Mary, on top of the kitchen counter, by the little Japanese bonsai your grandmother picked up for us at the swap meet last month."
Mary: "Oh."

Out There in the Garden
02:44
|

Out there in the garden sits another lonely human
and she's holding silver lilies in her palms
Then appears a creature and he sidles up beside her
and her words and all her features turn him on
Ohm
"Well then maybe yes I guess that I should thank you lady"
and his eyes were withered cherries as he spoke
"I've been running circles in my cursed circumstances since my lover left for good some time ago."
Ohm
She said "Dear I'm sorry that we hadn't met much sooner or I could've made things better for us both.
Tell me are you with me now and do you feel as I do because if I am alone I can't go on..."
"No dear god is calling me and it's him I must be following so I pray you find the one you find your one."
Ohm
She's got to be lonely
She's got to be one

Semisequitur
02:04
|
|||
You may wake up one day and your life has passed you by
it's too easy to open your eyes and criticize
so you try
You know all too well the things in life that need your time
dare you one day not to give your famous alibi
so you try
and every breath gets shorter til you're blind in both eyes
sometimes think that sometimes some things should be occupied
and even though it's nonsense since you've been a gambler
yes and so then it appears to be nonsequitur

Chessboxing Champion
02:35
|
|||
I was the champion
of the chessboxing tournament
back in 1994
I gave it my best shot
I gave it a good lot
I'm a nerd and I'm a jock
I was the champion
of the chessboxing tournament
go look it up on the internet
it's real
it's a thing
you know that it's a thing
it's real
chessboxing champion
play me in chess to see who's better at fighting
fight me to see who's better at chess
i'll put on my best pair of fighting mitts
and then put your king into check

Desolations
03:27
|
|||
Kathy drinks from her cup
and prepares his lunch she thinks this could be her final hour
the boy says something smart
as he perfects the art of filling her with laughter
she hopes he won't end up like his father
the man with the grin
who's gone with the wind
to anyone
who would let him in
his resemblance
is uncanny
and she's frightened
reverend Gabriel talks
to an empty hall he thinks he's been forsaken
he's lost all his sheep
feeling feeble and weak his heart is filled with sorrow
lord why have they made me a beggar
why would they leave?
how can it be?
do they not believe?
in you or me?
i'm uncertain
if i'm willing
and able
Now twenty years gone
for mother and son he went to fight in someone else's war
tired eyes that wept
she'd never forget the times he left her laughing
she hopes he will return a hero
a new dawn appears
she prays
he'll be standing here
when the dust all clears with nothing to fear
her hands run
through the pages
of their scrapbook

Telephonic
03:20
|
|||
Telephonic hypnotic sensual eyes
looking at her with a leopard disguise
rocket woman shoots him right to the moon he goes
Shades on tight he's hip in a way
Wristwatch tom cat vancouver sway
Bulletproof style with nothing to prove he goes
Deadman walking
Saw him on the TV
or the radio
Psychedelic hip sway walking away
Sequins on his coat bangladeshi beret
Glitter bomb king on his way to the show he goes
Rock n roll calico hair to his chest
Compuphonic sting ray cellular zest
a yellow throated marten with a beard of stars he goes
Isn't it good to be lost in the woods?
so quiet there, out there in the woods

Mescaline's the Name
02:35
|

Mescaline
Is the name of the mess we're in
It's not a pool that you're swimming in
Mescaline's the name of the mess you're in
Charming to see a big wide grin
Mescaline's the name of the mess we're in
We're not trying to behave we're just
playing may games
you know that it's the name
you know that it's the name

Life happens all around you
So find the self inside
leave the future close behind
Make the most of every moment
Please
Cause it's right there where you left it
Right there in your pocket and you feel it so it goes
And it's right there in your pocket
Right there where you left it and you feel it so it goes
Love is shining through a moonbeam
Silken and serene
She's a silverheaded queen
Find her light and let her live in you
Please

Kiri/Waiting
05:33
|
|||
Kiri I've been waiting patiently for years and years for you to call
Kiri drop a line and let me know if you still feel the same at all
You're down on Washington training for championships
She can't be seen because she's busy all the time
Hair fades to turquoise and falls past your shoulders and
Once you were mermaid queen made love to all the sea
Neck wrapped in satin your photos show passion for
Plants and for wildlife look how her spirit shines
And when you're older you'll find someone bolder and
Colorful and obtuse maybe it's one day soon
You've got me lonely
I should be going
You have done it now
I should be going
toad road licked my wheel like a sabre
winds of the marsh lightly blue
oh and the stars on his shoulders
hunters of pity she slew
chariots of silk she wore
stallions of gold she rode
You're keeping me waiting
