Silver air, golden breeze
Purple clouds, yellow stream
Colors ain't what they seem
Climb aboard the strange machine
Peaceful folks, lucky times
Thoughts are free from death and crime
People ain't what they seem
Climb aboard the strange machine
Shiny stairs to the void
Stars shine on in the cold
Cosmic vibes ain't what they seem
Climb aboard the strange machine

Forest wine drips slowly on me
On a sunny day
But I sit in snow and rain
Won't you believe in what I say
Gentle rain and glowing snow
A feeling straight and warm
Concrete plants bid us goodbye
And tiny blue flowers are born
Sitting here
Watching, swimming, thinking
Sitting here
Flying thru marzipan clouds
And lavender skies
Burning smell, napalm's there
Gentle rain and glowing snow
Phoenix rising, he’s got long hair
You are dead and I am born
Sitting here
Wishing I was traveling
Sitting here
Dreaming on amaranth dunes
Singing this tune
They call him sunlight
They call him the eagle
Sitting here
Watching, swimming, thinking
Sitting here
Flying thru marzipan clouds
And lavender skies

Heading West

Listen my little brothers
I've talked to the Morning Star
I must go
And I'm heading west
Hey little sisters
Don't you cry
I'm not the only brother
Heading west
All you people listen
Darkness is the way
Your glass-eyed god scares me to death
So I'm heading west, my friend
(Heading west, my friend)
I've shown you every way
I've been here every day
Now I'm going home
I'm heading west
Hey people
I broke free
Oh can't you see
That I'm heading west
Talked with the dead
I got worms in my head
There\s an eagle on my arm
I'm heading west
All you people listen
Darkness is the way
Your glass-eyed god scares me to death
So I'm heading west, my friend
(I’m heading west)
I tread every way
I've been everywhere
Now I'm coming home
I'm heading west

Well I climbed the frozen mountain
Just to tell you it’s not worth it
And the world will end without your
Guiding hand
Well I sailed the crystal waters
Just to prove you’ve got no father
And the seas won’t part
The world won’t start again
Cause it’s the end
I’ll be coming home tomorrow
Giving back the faith I borrowed
From the white man and the black man
From the good man and the bad man
From the feeble and the solid
From the happy and the worried
Cause I’m coming home to get them
Free them from the cake that ate them
So if god is your obsession
And your corpse is full of passion
Don’t you pass me by the lonely
Frozen void
Just release your earthly tension
Fill your mind with pure invention
We will leave this world forever
Making love
Cause that’s my goal
We’ll be coming home tomorrow
Giving back the faith we borrowed
From the white man and the red man
From the good man and the bad man
From the feeble and the solid
From the happy and the worried
Cause I’m coming home to get them
Free them from the ape that ate them

Dry Ice

We’re all blind
We are mumbling quietly
We consider of you and me
So alone, so alone
So alone, so alone
We are so thin
Poor organic machines
Full of broken gear
Numb in silent dreams
So alone, so alone
So alone, so alone
We are so small
You and me and we all
So self assured and mean
Our path is sure and lean
Alone, alone
Alone, alone

Come for Tea
04:49
|

Come with me, you’ll see all love
Come with me, you’ll fly or float
Come to lands, in space they hang
Hear the cosmic big bang
Give me love, you’ll get it in return
Show you all you want to see
I’ll become your ecstasy
Bring your cup and come for tea
Sit with me, there’s room for you
On my cloud, inventing you
Give me love, I’ll set you free
Bring your cup and come for tea

Dark Rider

|

Dark rider, daylight’s renegade
Lord of blackness, king of the stars
Dark rider, he knows the only way
Leads him thru the ancient skies
He is a shade
Quicker than the death
He is the sound
Haunting all our heads
Dark rider in constellations
Searching for a star or two
Dark rider, what he’s been after
Try to guess what he’s gonna do
A silver ship
Quicker than the light
In spasms black
He rolls unto the night

Android
05:25
|

In my coat of chrome, in acid rain
I’ve pockets full of metal doves
I believe we’re bound to meet here, man
I copied you all and now I copy love
On wires proud reaching far
I’m sending man to distant stars
I’m an android, the energy they want
I’m an android, the servant and the lord
I’m an android, the metal plated stunt
I’m an android, the bright synthetic void
In my iron lair I never sleep
My eyes on world clocks running late
I believe you missed your rocket, man
I gobble your time and steal your fate
With handwork nice adjusting fast
I’m saving man from atomic blast
I’m an android, the energy they want
I’m an android, the servant and the lord
I’m an android, the metal plated stunt
I’m an android, the bright synthetic void
Can’t identify me in the crowd
I’m regular men and I’m never too loud
With megaphones and microphones
That drive my message on and on
I come to bring you promised land
The one you passed to my command
I’m an android, the energy they want
I’m an android, the servant and the lord
I’m an android, the metal plated stunt
I’m an android, the bright synthetic void

Brother to the Devil
02:39
|

I went right thru the countryside
And this is who I met
A rich Mexican young man
With a gun in his right hand
He came to me and shook my hand
Said my brother welcome home
I said hello and turned around
And found my brother gone
I walked inside my empty house
And there he stood again
He smiled at me and blinked his eye
And the clothes he wore were plain
He came to me and shook my hand
Said my brother welcome home
I said hello and turned around
And found my brother gone
Soon I made a deal with Satan
And he walked along with me
I asked him many, many times
Where my poor, poor brother could be
Then he smiled & shook my hand
Said brother welcome home
I’m everything you want to see
I’m the one you’re looking for

Put It in Your Pipe
01:09
|

When you smoke
Your eyes are clear
And mind just wants to disappear
In smoke
Gentle thoughts
Clear blue sky and meadows green
All is neon submarine
And shapes are blurry,
Out of focus
Just put it in your pipe
I’m telling you
You’re gonna feel alright and green
Try to find a seraphim
And he will tell you where you’ve been
In smoke, in smoke
In smoke, in smoke

Wooden lands with metal plants
Will be
Will be
If you want a quicker sunrise
Come
To me
Surely better to be dead
Than lead a life like this
You are happy in your little world
Don’t give a shit
Chemicals shall overcome
You all
You all
Pastures of forgotten dharma
Shall fall
Shall fall
Surely better to be dead
Than lead a life like this
You are happy in your little world
Don’t give a shit

Wormhole Blues
03:09
|

I walk through the ocean
I swim through the park
I crawl through the wormhole
With time and space combined
I embrace the curtain
Of my existence
And I walk through my life
Slowly, thoroughly
Wormhole
Eats you
Wormhole
Chews you
Wormhole
Swallows you
Wormhole
Spits you out (Enjoy it!)
I run on my cloud
I hear all the colors
And without much doubt
I touch all the music
Taste the smell, smell the taste
And without much haste
I carry on with my life
Slowly, thoroughly
Wormhole
Eats you
Wormhole
Chews you
Wormhole
Swallows you
Wormhole
Spits you out (Enjoy it!)
Catch it don’t rush it embrace it never let go of it
Share it give it touch it feel it taste it smell it live it
After all, it’s your life

Shakedown Blvd
03:19
|

Born in a ghetto on the Lemon Street
I killed all the people that I was pleased to meet
So full of piss and vinegar
I locked my future in a bourbon jar
Went to the Shakedown Boulevard
Dead in blue colors, lying in the dirt
I got this woman on my mind, in a watercolor skirt
So full of groove, so full of style
I locked my past in well-conducted lies
Went to the Shakedown Boulevard

Distant Clusters
07:46
|

You’re gonna need these bright eyes
Later on when all is thru
To observe the new galactic dawn
Arising from the blue
Save them, save them from the world
Preserve them, they are bound to see
All the times creation offers
You’ll be rising to be free
Look, your sun is rising quiet
Over oceans very wise
Don’t you give a name to dawn
It’s omnipresent morning skies
Wondering just what should I call you
You are comets circling round
Young worlds forming in the shadows
Bright light crashing without sound
My brain is full of you
Your sun is rising over me
Stratosphere can hear you cry
I love your life infinitely
Seagulls and your skull create
Horizons, hazy lines thru which
My summer evening flies unnoticed
It’s the season I can’t reach
Body falls asleep at frozen borders
Futuristic parks
Come embrace the soul skyscrapers
Standing in the doorway looking down
