Klondike - song from future album "Gold"

8/25/2017

1 Comment

 

Gold has laid a tantalizing path
Flashing pans and paying out by math
Men in boats seeking out the veins
And in boots in creeks staking claims

Yolky moon lights the sky over pain
Northern lights are poached again
Metal thoughts and the spell that binds
Bodies trapped and minds entwined

Speak to me of a golden history
The walls that seal the richest treasury
Speak to me ravens on the breeze
Of the golden cities on the golden seas

May the rivers find the distant seas
And prospectors find their gold with ease
Millionaires both young and old
With nugget hearts and dusty souls

Hollywood - lyrics for song on upcoming album "Hollywood"

3/30/2017

I can't tell you why we look to Hollywood
There's nothing like the camera's eye to turn your flesh into wood
I can't tell you why we turn to Hollywood
But if you like your cake in your eyes
You'll make your way to Hollywood

In Hollywood it don't smell like it should
No in Hollywood it really don't smell like it should

Something's calling the flies to the pile in Hollywood
As natural as ergot on rye, psylocybin grows as it should
Diseased is the seed in our minds
And yet you bake our brains in the pie
In turn we put your witches on trial
And burn them all in Hollywood

In Hollywood it don't smell like it should
No in Hollywood it really don't smell like it should

You're welcome by
You're welcome by in Hollywood

Darkening Days Of Fall

3/13/2015

Darkening days of fall
Low vivid light just after school
The brilliant colours of leaves
Against a crisp blue sky

High scarce clouds
Ribbed in the wind's breath
Like the decaying wreck of a nimbus ship
In the darkening depths of the crystalline sky

The cold kiss of the wind
Against the soft skin of your face
You were the boy who once waved goodbye
To the good ship Nimbus
As it embarked upon its voyage
To harpoon the Cirrus Whale.

    Occasionally I write poems or song lyrics or some sort of observation. I'll try to post a few.
