Starfield Ghost
03:15
|

|
tell the starfield ghost the beginning we remember
our passions high and our lovechild lying naked
bellies bulging when we wreck the flower fortune
wake the raft of slimy gods best forgotten
deeply unconscious now you awaken
understanding the power of soma
smoke and candy douse it with incense
a subtle call to your neighbors of the circle
these are powers to me I hold tightly
no one but I control spreading wishes
counting on the ghost of the starfield
I re-awaken every god best forgotten
effect of soma while taking methadone
effect of soma while taking methadone

I'm Just An Agent

I’m a secret agent
don’t let me down
I can tell you the secrets of england
and america
your woman is incredibly lovely
but I can’t have her
and she don’t care
she walks so big and tall
with great big steps
and I’m impressed
but she don’t care
she’s comin down the stairs
slowly
I’m just an agent
don’t turn me down
I’m an international agent
and she’s livin a lie
but she don’t mind
she talks so sweetly
and I’m impress
listen to my secrets

Oracle of the Universe
01:57
|
|||
|
I knew a lady
who said she spoke spanish
but to me it was gibberish
she spoke it on the telephone
in most public places
engaged in conversation
with no one on
the line
well I couldn't tell
if it was all for my benefit
or how this amused her
as she followed
me around
and told me it was all a lie
she told me it was all just a lie
I asked her what lies were for
the moment or the memory
but she took me by surprise
for she was an oracle
and anything that she said
was considered holy by
the people of our universe
for that I could pay her
just a dime

South of Reno
04:17
|
|||
|
I can see the stars that surround the mountains
I've been walking on this road for two days now
didn't mean to leave you with a situation
I only meant to leave things certain
Burning bushes under my skin
an optical illusion pulls me under
its your face in mine within a spinning sign
made of neon light/ and it can't stop gambling
I never wanted to leave you open
to suggestion or interpretation
I never meant to leave you in the open
I only meant to take my worries away some
gotta cut you off my back...
I'm feeling the heat!

Lost On A Train

We wander there
and get nowhere
Her streets are fine
we sip our wine
in the city
