Taming My Own Impulse (Don Campau and AI)

Everything you’d like to see
A situation’s energy
And anything you want to have
Just take it, don’t forget my half.

I am trapped here now
There is no way
Out of my blues

Hold it up for all to see
Don’t tell them that it came from me.
Remember when the light grows pale
That where I am, the air is stale.

I am changing now
I am taming
My own impulse

A story you once told to me
Came back to me the other night
And hearing it again in dreams
Made my chest a little tight

I am challenged now
I am wrapped up
In my own self

You told me that you’d like to see
Somebody else, and not see me
You lied and said you felt my grief
I knew it was just your relief

I am wondering now
Where you went
And how you’re doing

Let’s just think of what was fun
And not those things I should have done
We can’t go back and change them now
I doubt that I would somehow

I remember why
It’s been years since
I’ve been selfless

Lonely Whistle (Don Campau)

Have you ever wanted to hop that train
Down on Monterey Highway
You can hear that lonely whistle blow
Up on that freight train
It’s going to L.A.

You can hear that lonely whistle blow
You can hear that lonely whistle blow

I had a friend that lived in L.A.
He moved there a couple of years ago
I thought I’d go visit him
He said you can hear that lonely whistle blow

I’ll never forget the sound that train makes
It goes clickety clickety clickety clack
clickety clack clickety clack
It’s one of those nights in California
Drinking coffee, we’re on the train to L.A.

You can hear that lonely whistle blow
You can hear that lonely whistle blow

Lots of folks reside in L.A.
Lots of TV stars and cocaine
There’s lots of concrete in L.A.
After awhile it gets to look the same

You can hear that lonely whistle blow
You can hear that lonely whistle blow

All aboard
It’s the last train out of town
You can hear that lonely whistle blow
You can hear it, listen, listen,

You can hear that lonely whistle blow
You can hear that lonely whistle blow

Once I Was Alive (Don Campau)

once i was alive, 
alive inside of this, 
once i was alive,
alive instead of dust.

once i was disguised,
once i was only flesh, 
once i was realized , 
that once i was the light 
was made of this, 
and then was only ash
scattered in the wind, 
thrown about by lusty waves.

please meet me there in the place, 
we had formerly decided, 
i won’t know my way 
but since you’ve been there awhile, 
can you show me around?

over there are some souls, 
who have recently arrived,
i can tell that i’m sure 
because they seem to still have faces,

look at them 
and you don’t need eyes, 
picture them 
with just will and surprise, 
at peace they all claim, 
with the clouds that seem to create them, 
no dreams anymore 
and no sleep is needed.

Act Now (Don Campau)

force fed fool of flesh, 
sucked at the nipple but it didn’t catch, 
farm fresh seed of storm, 
put your money on my lousy arm, 

Act Now
Act Now

choke down this deep advice, 
better yet won’t you buy it twice? 
choice cut still not enough, 
eat your soul but it’s way too tough, 

Act Now
Act Now

act now or leave, 
face facts its time to believe, 
sad sack afraid of leaves, 
turn back and kiss my other cheek

Act Now
Act Now

Two Hour Rule (Don Campau)

i always thought when i got old, 
i’d be a master of my moods 
i could handle the inconvenience
i could handle the load, 

oh no
Now its just the reverse,
i had to test and develop a tool called my, 
my two hour rule

when i get stuck on 101
my heart beats fast and then I sweat
I’ll take the nearest exit then 
even if it’s a dead end 

i make my plans all based on this,
the time it takes to get it done, 
oh no 
now i’m feeling sick, 

oh no 
now it’s no longer cool,
i’m nervous and I’m way past the limit of 
my two hour rule, 

i’ve got friends and relatives, 
would like to see me soon, 
if i could travel at the speed of light
heck, i could visit the moon 

the truth is that i’m stuck right here now,
it doesn’t really matter if it’s traffic
the grocery store or the post office 
it could be a concert or a comedy show, 

it could be dinner and a date
the clock is ticking 
and its getting to the point 
where my stomach turns and i’m fidgeting, 
and i can barely wait 
c’mon i gotta go, 
i gotta go right now, 

it’s my two hour rule,
the clock is ticking and it’s getting away
it’s my two hour rule, 
there’s no time left to worry or play 
it’s my two hour rule 
i hope you don’t mind if i use my tool 
it’s my two hour rule 
i’m reminding you now 
of my two hour rule

Power of Two (Don Campau)

well, what is not
and who is able
the talk’s just talk
until the payments adjusted
you should prepare the table

lift it up,
set it down
sort through all the necessary papers
is it better in a shade of brown
or in a hue of human skin grey scale

The power of two
It’s the power of two

stop your messing around,
stick to the point and choose your poison
is there space in this town
for someone so loud it disturbs the neighbors

and who’s the one
who supports this weak structure
been in place for so long
well it can barely function

The power of two
It’s the power of two

a word’s just a word
until the payment’s adjusted
it all seems absurd
like some wasted judgment

just come and sit now
i saved a chair just for you
come and see me
it’s the power of two

The power of two
It’s the power of two

if you ever have a question
or just begin to feel doubt
don't forget that I just mentioned
what those signs are all about

come and see me,
its the power of two
just come and sit now
i saved a chair just for you

The power of two
It’s the power of two

come and see me
it’s the power of two
come and see me
it’s the power of two
just me and you
