DEVIL OF MAN 

Summer 1987

Push until you shove 
you might get some results
I don't think that you should try
try to hope it out
There's something here 
I can't explain
I don't think that it's for our best sake
To talk about these things
About things when we are dead
We are dead when we fall into the ground
And we are covered up with dirt
And we don't know if we dare turn

Don't hold your thought
You might find yourself digging a hole
In the ground for yourself
It's like luck that you may fall
And I don't think you understand
That this man
He want's to take you to the side
And take you into the dirt
Into the dirt he will fall with you
He is the devil of man 
And he wants to take your soul
Don't let him go
He will try to keep you in sight

Don't try to turn
Open your hand and read out loud
"Dear father who art in heaven," Where art thou now
We should not return to a place of God
After the sin that was committed
The devilish inside, inside
And now he turns to you
He doesn't want to hear a word
Ahhh....
Don't....
The devilish inside, he will return
And he will keep you in sight when everyone's gone
And he will try to keep you in his eyes
The devilish inside, don't try to turn
He'll keep you in sight while the others turn
Don't try
Don't try
Yea....
Ahhh....

He'll find you
Ohh... He'll find you
Ohh... He'll find you
Ohhh...

EASTER ISLAND

Summer 1987

It's Sunday morning and I'm asleep
Shouts echo through the hull
Off in the distance is an island
Off in the distance is a hope come true

Easter Island in the sea 
Coming to me faithfully
Easter Island in the sea
Coming to me faithfully

They lay upon the rail at night
Tears are rolling from my eye
The statues stand with might 
The water rolls out of sight

Easter Island in the sea 
Coming to me faithfully
Easter Island in the sea
Coming to me faithfully
 
Sail
Sail with me this time
Oh, won't you sail
Sail with me this time

Easter Island in the sea
Coming to me faithfully

s1-3|                    Back in the past days when we first met,          
 ...|         All the boys warned me that you'd be hard to forget
 ...|        They told me how their hearts were broken in the end
s1-1|
s2-3|  You always used to hold so tight and would never let me go
 ...|     Arm in arm seemed like the way all the things were done

s3-4|             Many times I'd linger around your home at night

 ...|                Slowly with soft whispers, I finally realize

FALSE UTOPIA

1987

You claim it's better where you are
Well, I know that that's a fact
When your sitting on a mountain
With the world behind your back

You say it's brighter on your side
Well I know, 
That what your seeing is the truth of what your after

Everything looks good to you
It seems that nothing can touch you
Well, look around the corner  
And let me watch you stare

People are dying
Children are crying
Fire's are burning
Life without learning
Do you see what I mean?

Everything's not so wonderful
The world we have and the world you want
Is impossible.

Your living in a false Utopia (Girl......)
Your living in a false Utopia (Girl......)
Your living in a false Utopia (Girl......)
Just look at the people dying
Look at the children crying
Then look at your mountain crumbling
(Does that shake this girl?)

Hold tight to your dreams my girl
They may come true in a future world
But, here the things are not that way
The things you look for in the present day 

You claim its better where you are 
Well, look at where your at
The highest place in the world
It won't get you farther than that

So, turn your head around you 
And see this world behind you
Find the people staring  
Into the darkness of the night

Your living in a false Utopia 
Your living in a false Utopia 
Your living in a false Utopia 
Just look at the people dying
Look at the children crying
Then look at your mountain crumbling 
Does that shake you girl

CITY RAINFALL

 - November 15, 1988

I saw you standing there
Beneath the cold black air of the night, of the night
Just look at the clouds ahead
I think there is a rainfall
I think there is a rainfall coming tonight  
The city rainfall
The city rainfall falls on down tonight 
Oh we walked along the street last night
You kept on talking, talking, talking
About the way you used to love the walks we took before
About the way we stood out in the rain all night 
The rainfall is coming, coming
The rainfall is coming in your heart
The rainfall is coming, coming
The rainfall is falling in your heart 
And as we sleep
And as we dream
The rain comes down
The rain comes down 
Rain falls down from the city skies tonight, tonight
The rain comes falling in your heart tonight 
Oh the travels we took     
For the first time, the last time
The motion of our love
And if we cry one more time
At the howling wind tonight 
And on the city skies we cry tonight 
But don't turn away
Don't turn away tonight, tonight, tonight
For I will cry
My way to sleep tonight  
In the calling of my heart tonight
In the calling of your sin

DON'T DRINK

 - February 2, 1988

Don't drink
You will fall into a stitch of heaven
It'll hold you in
Like a dream of an ocean
I will try
To discover your heart  
I will hold you in till forever, forever
I will find a place
And place this heart down nice and softly
I will caress it in my world
I will find a home
Oh, a home again
Oh, home again
Oh, home again
Oh, home again
And I will stay for a while

DEEP EXPOSURE
  August 26, 1988
Something there was on your mind 
The last time we sat around that fire
I know you and you said fine
But you know you were trying to hide

Something there was deep inside your heart
Something there was deep inside your soul
And I knew that you were mine
But I nearly lost control
Don't you run away from me 
I don't see why we must be
Something we don't even try
I find leisure in disguise
I don't see why we must run
I tried to hold on the ground
I know those tears when they must fall
But I didn't find them here at all
Last night in my heart 
There was a deep exposure
Feeling a multitude of grace
I knew that we'd be together
Even in the darkest hour of night
I should find something hear to find
Something we try to come away
I know that we could prey someday    
Even if we find a place to live
Even if we find a place to slip away 
We lost something there for me and you 
And together we'd be together
In the multitude of hate
Someone might stand and shout, so just wait
Even in the darkest hour of night
I find the something we won't try

Expulsion
 - August 22, 1988
I don't try to go
Where no one lives alone
Do you hear me
I don't leave a message on your answering machine
Because it doesn't like me
And all of the time I hold on to
This dream of passion inside me
And I should crawl away somewhere, away
I should never have listened
Now there are people crowding around
And those who have fallen
And those who have parished, in celebration
I don't want to go where we cannot see
Their ultimate expulsion
I should find the reasons for loving one another
For the human race
Calling to expulsion, expulsion, expulsion of the human race 
There is something here for you
And there is something here for me
Oh, shall we have to approve
Well, I will not know
The way into the city
The city abroad
I just don't know

FINAL SLIP



 -  August 20, 1988

I noted in the morning - you shook my head
I said goodbye for the last time
All in the morning - you cried to me, cried
And nothing came around this time
Said I don't try to the very last time
Can't hold on to the fighting to the very last cry 
I do not know why we should 
Not anger ourselves over a piece of love

An emotional trip, we will not let it slip
We will evolve away from that last fight
An emotional trip, we will not let it fall away this time

In the calling of your wildest dreams
I long to lie low - slip it in
And you know that we should not try to keep it inside
We should not try to keep it inside

An emotional trip 
We will not let it slip until the very last time we tried too hard
to please you, please me, please you, please me

Flower upon the ground 

- August 24, 1988

I'll try to call you
For your emotional sake
Why did I let it happen
I waved goodbye to you from the window of my car 
You waved goodbye to me from the bedroom that we shared
I said goodbye to you a hundred million miles away
Over the telephone 
I couldn't stand to see your eyes
They cried so hard at times
Don't try to keep it inside

This world was not for me
This world was not for me

I tried to tell you on the telephone
My heart it was destroyed 
When we blew up into the flames 
Oh, try to tell me something new
I have to hear just one more word from you
I left you standing all alone, all alone
On the sidewalk standing, feet below
And I waved goodbye

This world was not for me
This world was not for me
This world was not for me
This world was not for me

Hold on to something real 
The dreaming won't help you anywhere
I still smell the flowers on the sidewalk
The wedding would have been real nice
Just cold on ice
Then something inside broke away

This world was not for me
This world was not for me

LIFE OF GOLD AND LIES AND SEX


  - May 29, 1988

You know
That You've been following the wrong direction
For the past few years
Where does it led you
And when did you come through to your senses

Living life like it's a marry-go-round
A marry-go, a marry-go-round of gold
Where does it take you
When did you fall through all of those lies

And you know damn well what's to tell

When did you fall through
And look where you ended up instead
Will you come through now
Whether you like to shout by yourself or with a friend
And all those crazy sexual times
Why don't you get on your mind
That this is a world of repercussions

Brand New Day 

 -  Fall 1988 

Ceiling of the clouds come on to me
Like a sea of unfamiliar vision
Why do they run from me?
Nothings bad in a brand new day

A brand new day has come upon us
One more time now......
We start again on this war between our ways
A brand new day has come

Why do we wait for something more?
Why do we lie here and just snore?
Why do we come so far away?
Why not just meet this brand new day?

Everything that I was told
And everything that seemed so cold
I hoped the pain would go away
Blowing the people in the towns away 

On this brand new day, brand new day

Everything that you once told me
I wanted to tell you to go to hell
But on this day, I'm still alive!
But on this day, I'm still alive!

On this brand new day, brand new day

Lying awake above this sleeping city
Watching fate come from me
It pains me to do this on this day
But, I hope that the pain will go away

On this brand new day, brand new day

THE PARADISE SONG 

 -  Fall 1988

Show me the way that I can prey
Something around named paradise
Holding my head above the waves
Catching the breath that I might save
Stand to Your side
Ohh.. your not due any day

Shout to your tears and emotion
close your eyes to the desperate ways
Hold to your tears or hold to your strength
someone might try to break it down
Get out of my way
Ohh.. your blocking the way to paradise
Ohh.. to paradise's eyes
Ohh.. get out of my way
Your blocking the way to paradise
Ohh.. to paradise

Ohh.. all the silly people that come to you
Paradise is the way to choose
But, they don't even know
That your blocking the way to paradise
Ohh.. your blocking the way to paradise
Way to paradise, just one more time

See the emotion, they tumble from me
My eyes are all red and I cannot see
Feeling of hopelessness inside
Hoping that tears will run away
Your in paradise, paradise
Your in paradise

Cause when your blocking the way to paradise
Your holding up the people who deserve to live
The people who deserve to live in paradise, paradise
Your living in paradise 

When your in paradise
Take up the floor and watch the movie some more
Shot by emotion and tears in your heart 
Crying away like a useless toy
Ohh.. oh.. your in paradise again
Cause your in paradise

Turnstile Memories

   -  December 20, 1988

Time won't end the misery
And memories never fade
I still wait for the moment
When my life may reach its end

The stones they are discovered
And are cruelly overturned
Every time I hear it
How my heart still burns

I'll be waiting by the turnstile
With the flowers in my hand
I'll be waiting for the moment
When my arms may reach the end

Of there ultimate expulsion
Of a feeling that is left untouched
A moment goes by so fleeting 
Yet, time it burns so much

I'll be waiting by the turnstile
With the flowers in my hand
I'll be waiting for the moment
When my arms may reach the end

Every time I hear it
How my heart still burns
Every time I hear it
How my heart still burns

SORE BEAUTY 



-  August 27, 1989

Trouble I've seen before
Your eyes are something special
like no other before
Your motion tells me its over
Every rising image numbered
When my eyes have been sore before
Like beauty in store
When I should ever overcome
It's over
Like no other before
My beauty is sore
Every rising image numbered

CLOWN 

- JUNE 9, 1989
 
As you stare longer into the eyes of a clown
A familiar sense revives your mind
You feel as though they could be alive
Alive as a smiling child
On a windy shore
Alone and quiet does it sooth the soul

Over taken by a single breath
As a rush comes in 
It smashes and devours your lust
For a dead clown
Sitting on the end of a telephone
You receive in your mind
He laughs at you and you smile
Now isn't that nice
A telephone call from a dead clown

EAST TO WEST


 - Fall 1989

Your lines I cross across my field
I was told that time was staying close behind the fire
The barbed wire fences stuck behind
By my sorrow, by the fires
Running deep inside a migration

Cross the wire 
Cross the line
See the shadows in the night
Cross the wire
Cross the find
They'll see no evil over time
Cross the wire cross the line
You'll know then to follow me homeward

When you cross the wire they say
No one feels quite the same
You know I was never blind
But this time I'll run 

Cross the wire 
Cross the line
They will see no unusual time
Cross the wire 
Cross the line
You'll be on the other side by midnight
Midnight
By midnight
By midnight we will see
At midnight to begin life
It always captured me
A new life on the other side
A new voice to recognize
A new life
A new life on the other side

HUMOUR ME

 -  April 3, 1989

Living in another world is something strange
I just want to stay here today
I just know that back home, things aren't the same

These structures and these four walls 
house something so wonderful
I see
I just want to humour you, humour me

I just want to stay here
Don't want to leave now
I just want to feel you 
And I know even how
I just want to feel life
Inside my tightest grips
I just want to play this game
I just want to see
I want you to be humoured too
I want to humour me  
I just want to humour you
This time I just don't know
If you should ever ask again to leave

I just don't know that we should ever have turned back
Turned back, when the waters were cold
On the seaside
On the shoreline we would stay for a while

Shockwaves
Were on the edge of a dream
Fall back 
Only to find that it's just a dream

I just want to stay a while
I want to stay in your arms
I want to find the sun
I want to play in the dark
I want to stay in your arms
I want to find a home
This time my eyes I wipe for sometime

MOVING MASSES

 - Fall 1989

Masses move from place to places
From high ground to low deep faces
searching the pockets of your neighbors
One thought gathers to displace us
Moving forward in this carcass
City dwellings to deface
The youth of our resemblance
Finds joy in synthetic balance
All force in one direction
Moves in to caress us
Find a set and claim it
Find a place and keep it
Find a moment and enjoy it
If you have your love don't leave it
Find your life and suit it
All but one chance is what you have
If by chance that we shall laugh
Don't you lose your grasp
Bit down and sneer the world down
With your teeth showing they'll back off
For an eternity you'll have it
In an instant you can lose it

BOOKS OF POETRY 

 -   July 10, 1989  

Look in your pockets
For a famous line
From the books of poetry
That you've got stashed away somewhere
I want to read the lines
From the pages of the books
That's been there before the time,
Let's come and take a look

It's a long time, it's a long time wait 

You know those stories they last so long
Pages and pages of documents
They fade in the oils of the library
Thankful, that lines may have been heard before
If the should stick around a while,
I'm sure they'll find a place in the house of horrors
Even if they defy the toughest times and places,
Save the lines from the fire, the lines from the story 

It's a long time, it's a long time wait

If Virgil would have heard the words
That people read these days and heard
If you come here and tell his story,  
He'll be sure to listen sourly
I just like the pages from the books
Someone once written, someone once died
Now they lasted for hundreds of years
Something's anew, in these forgotten years

Point to Love

  -  May 23, 1989 

So tell me this is the life in store for me
Don't treat it loose or casually
My memory will always serve
Of flowers given and then deserted

Like a motion
across the ocean
your eyes are playful
don't look so deep inside of me
your sympathy 
your life has given me
it burns inside of my heart
hope the brakes of time won't ever stop

Oh I will always pray
oh I will always pray
that you will always stay
your friendship is so good to me
oh I will always pray
oh I will always say
your friendship is so good to me
but is there a point to love
 
Oh I know when your alone
the mind lies still inside an empty place
the vision fails to see the rails
and every step you take fills the sense of action and reaction 
and the price you pay won't lead up to sensation 
but the heart will pound away

LET YOUR FAITH RISE HIGHER


 - October 16, 1989

I don't understand
Why we must hold your hand when you fall asleep at night
Is there something about the cold, cold night
That you do not wish to consult to your fears tonight 

Don't hold your eyes
In the dark night
We feel like flowers
So unemotional 
A long time to go
You'll dream of things that are made of stone
And you'll climb to the very highest mountain
You'll climb to the very highest mountain
Hold to your whispers
Hold to your heels
Higher and higher

ROLLING WITH THE FIRE



 - November 8, 1989

Tonight, I find the place of mind for everyone
To sit, to wait, for some prospects tonight
Tonight, the streets have cleared as the wind gathers force
To push the people indoors

Feelings with desires
Dancing your way higher
Find life on fire is your only way out
Grappling with time
Waiting on the line
Playing with the fire is your only way out
Finding time to riot
Running guns for hirer
Stealing your devotions is your only way out
Building your relations 
On anticipation
Rolling with the fire is your only way out

Your life and your wishes
Weaves lines of trouble across your face
With great expectations and one deep breath
You take a step forward and claim your place
And though you refuse stable grounds
Rolling with the fire is your only way out 
Rolling with the fire is your only way out

Tonight, I find the place of mind for everyone
To sit, to wait, for some prospects tonight
Tonight, the streets have cleared as the wind gathers force
To push the people indoors

Feelings with desires
Dancing your way higher
Find life on fire is your only way out
Grappling with time
Waiting on the line
Playing with the fire is your only way out
Finding time to riot
Running guns for hirer
Stealing your devotions is your only way out
Building your relations 
On anticipation
Rolling with the fire is your only way out

SET IT FREE

 -  February 12, 1989

This time I've waited for a long time
This time I know that its for real
All wrapped up and bouncing deep inside me
Now its time for me to set it free
Unsuspecting motions, unsuspecting looks
Your body just starts to uncover me
In the center of a blazing building
Your fingers point the way to set me free

Deep down, Up close, all around
Shying from me time to time from the dark
Whispers, whispers calling me from all around
Touching, touching deeply every part of me
I've got to set it free

Whispers, whispers talk to me, take me in your world
High we crawl and down we fall, now we start to twirl
Breathing, breathing into me a quiet sexual find
Lost my soul in the sheets when I am on your mind

Sunny Days



 -  March 8, 1989

I hold on to wisdom
Of a love that wasn't mine
And I should have known from the first day
That this love was stronger than wine
With your eyes they gleamed so hard at times
From deep inside your mind
When hand touched hand there was something about
I just couldn't leave this time

If one more day shall pass
Like sand in a broken hour glass
I would fall to the floor with a hope in my heart
That you'd be there to break the fall
A softness of another kind
Distinguished by a pleasant smile
Reassurance of the living past
From past to the present, the future may lie

With a brilliant flame
One thing leads to another
When love lies low and feelings get discovered
As far as the eye can see
As high as the heart can rise
As deep as this love can go
As free as the sunny days

THE RAIN 


- November 2, 1989 

Something's come on the scene
Something I've never seen before
Another shadow falls before my view tonight
Your walking on another ground
It's Like a heaven I seen  
When you were there for me
When rain comes falling, I should go
Feelings come and change my mind
On occasion they come from your frame of mind
You should never charm your way into my heart

I never want to feel the rain
I never want to feel the rain
I never want to feel the rain

Memories are a distant past
Falling on my eyes of momentos that last
Shining down to earth in points they're falling

I never want to feel the rain
I never want to feel the rain
I never want to feel the rain

Falling on your home tonight
Like a shadow on the other side of life
We try to breakdown our disguise
Nothing claimed that you would never be free
I tell you something

I never want to feel the rain
I never want to feel the rain
I never want to feel the rain

Things Would Never Be The Same


  April 12, 1989

Searching for another breath
My life is frail
Hope for somebody's breath
My life can feel
Waiting for some exctasy
By a body lying close beside my side

Feel the breath as it crushes in
The moment holds
Feeling like a little boy
When I was told
Things would never be the same
When it be gone
I won't be the one to blame

I don't want to go
When your by my side
This day can wait
For there are things that will have to do

Swallow up my deepened pride
I'll hunger you
On my knees and on my life
I'll worship you 
You are not the one to blame
When I feel this heat inside this broken frame

Hold me close before I crawl 
away again
Follow to the life's sins
When the were thin
I will never leave you now
This comfort won't break away these silent vows

I don't want to go
When my arms are free
From these chains and bounds
That have captured me

I would rather stay
In this brilliant home
So that I would crawl in myself
To another edge and throw myself off

I don't want to go
Away in somekind of shame
But loving you is
War between life's mistakes

I don't want to go
From  this broken frame
When I look at you 
I linger so my life won't ever break

RISING VOICES 

-  July 7, 1989

Stillness lingers as the shadows begin to play
Afternoons when sun rays stripped the sky away
Rising voices from another part of town
Call heroes from beds and hearts from homes

Slip like a sleek hand into the streets to discover
A voice is vacant thought fallen in the backstreets
By a two voice bluff
Under the rising voices, one voice is not good enough

Questions I've always sought to answer
Situations of my life I've never seen before     
An aquisition of love and hope and dreams
Living the life a paninaro leads
