I’m so tired of feeding all these people
I need a holiday
The working hours are never equal
To those I get to play
On holiday, holiday, holiday
Relax and fit in to the morning
It’s such a special light
Make love all afternoon and evening
And laugh all through the night
On holiday, holiday, holiday

Eyes of God

Skies a dark machine
Full of poison steam
When it rains we see
The flowers wither from the breath
Of generations left
A pile of garbage seen from infinity
Overlords will be
Run amok with greed
Pulling puppet strings
Placing voodoo pins into our throats
A pair of sevens thrown
Out of luck and time
So see the eyes of God
Holy faith will rot
The supermarkets stock
Once the leaves are gone
So well all must go our separate ways
The pope and those who pray
Separated by the knowing eyes of god
Hark! Upon the naked rise
A fire burning bright
Revolt has started
Oh in the water, in the rocks and in the spring
Flows a truth everlasting, never want for anything
Seized by the gods in a lust filled delight
While the stars ever turn up above mark our flight
See the divine in the night sky
Not some over-crowded book
Seized by the gods in a lust filled delight
While the stars ever turn up above mark our flight
See the divine in the night sky
See the divine in each others eyes

Won’t you lay your arms down, come back and hold on to me
I promise love and sympathy
Deny the stripes for they will impose on you
You know they take away your right to choose
(CH)
Put away your armor, your strength we’ll need back home
Your bravery both honored and absolved
We’ll have two children named Isis and Sam
He’ll play guitar and she will dance
It’s not your war
Leave those poor folks alone
It’s not your war
Leave it and come back
It’s not your war
Won’t you leave those poor folks alone
It’s not your war
Leave it and come back home
I’ll see you clear through this
I know that believing is the hardest part
You do not owe me
I’ll be there when you need
A friend to cry with on the lonely nights
You do not owe me
I do it freely
I do it for you

Who’s the right one in this war of wits?
Headed downtown with a rose clenched between her teeth so….
Everyone can see we’ve had a row
There’s a tell-tale wrinkle to her clothes
Two bleeding hearts wearing thin their lost desires
On one sleeve
Hold your right hand up high like this
Place your left hand so softly on her hips and…
Feel the music come in to your soul
Let it get inside and take control
Let it fall like water down along your spine
As we kissssssss
Be my holy overnight supply
Decide, and then act!

The Ship

she who sleeps beside me trapped by motion silenced
dashed up the rocky shore
sent from sunken ships a Cytherean myth
of love borne from the foam and coral
as lovers quarrel the angels sing
for the last time get a hold of she
clouds form thick the salted heavens drip
upon the maps with which we plot our course
an oceanic lust prevails along the cusp
of dying winds yet stronger oars
as nighttime falls the angels sing
for the love of gods get a hold of she
as my water falls and your mountains rise
as the gifts are dispensed with an ironic smile
all good love is a back and forth
you trim your sails to make room for hers
it’s the light from her lamp on the shore
that guides my ship through these storms
in the holy afterlife our sciences combine, our sciences combine
until we break
oh the hard times of a soul in doubt
till the storm that is wrought brings a truth so devout
under hardened skeins, above nighttime cries
a love won and lost is worth two never tried
to never try, as such goodbye

Oh my love
Upon the sea
A boy was born to you and me
Write a funny tale my father did
If he could find his way then I sure can
Upon this lonely ship my wife and friends
As we set sail
A broken little boat of reeds and sticks
Powered by the winds of love professed
Leaking in the spots we all possess
As to fail
Force and time is all we need
Then from the ash a diamond ring
Scenes like molten stones
Burned in to our hearts
Memories let’s now recall
The day I wrapped my fingers around yours
Clouds arrive / depart on time
The golden watch descends for night
A rosy toast, our guests we host
In marigolds we wed
