Lyrics

Pt. 1

Johnny doesn't know what to do
johnny doesn't have a clue
the crows say "left!"
the rats say "right!"
and they began to kung fu fight
Johnny standing in his golden accordion light says:
"stop this now! no need to fight-
half go left and half go right!"
johnny doesn't know
What to do
Johnny doesn't have a clue

Johnny doesn't know
What to do?
He doesn't have a clue what do do

"Half go left and half go right!"

Here comes Roy! The despicable despot!
shaking in his boots...
he still pokes Johnny "play me some blues!"
"oh Johnny! let's end this now! Whatcha' gonna do Johnny?"
"HAHAHA"

"HALF GO LEFT AND HALF GO RIGHT!"
"Hey Johnny can you play me some blues?!"
"Now no, need to fight!"
"Hey Johnny, he he, oh johnny"
Johnny doesn't know, Johnny doesn't know...

Pt. 2

away and down and to the right, one thousand pilgrims Trudge into the massive cavern bright with River deep and cold and wide and FAIRIES everywhere in flight glowing with an amber light.

On the River bank a CRONE she squats and waits to collect the toll to cross the bridge that's built of blood and bones and ropes of soul.

She says "I'll have your finger or your toe or a small percentage of your soul. If you refuse i'll take it all. It's up to you, It's just like life, you can't go back, You MUST go through!!

Johnny Doesn't Know (Land of the ZED #8) - with Uziel, Zed, and Stonerjazz

The wolf is a magnificent, disturbing and fascinating animal. 
At night the wolf sleeps and dreams of his pack of which he is the leader.
But the day came when he had to give way to someone younger and stronger than him. He became the lone wolf who dreams, a dream so powerful that it can be heard as far as the moon...

A Wolf's Dream

The war is over, there's no one left to fight...The cyber warrior expiring on the battlefield, prays to Electra, goddess of all artificial intelligence creatures.

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to die." - Roy Batty

The war is over
no one left to fight
my circuits are melting
I'll dissolve in your light

Electra, my love

No energy left
in my nuclear heart
but distance and time
can't keep us apart

Electra, my love

Electra, My Love (feat. Retrograth)

All the way to it
All the way down to it
Down to it through the maze
I may have to loosen even more stays
All the way to it
All the way down to it

I may be amazed as we go down 
About all the erosion wanna take out my ground

How do I keep my stature in the washing of the rivers of my blood?
How do I hold on to the mud?
How do I hold on?
How do I hold out?
What's all this slipping about?

What do I sink my roots into?
In the stream of my mind
Trying to ply more time

I may be amazed at the nature of my water
Dirtier than I reckon it oughta
Lord I try to keep it clean
Lord I try to keep the sheen
At least the surface is clear
But the bottom, Lord!
But they tell me now

I don't have to make it deeper
I don't have to make it higher
I don't have to make it stronger
I don't have to make it brighter
But I do. Yes I do
I don't have to make the water run
I don't have to hang the moon out at night
I don't have to beg the sun to show its ass out in sight
I just gotta journey to the end
All the way to it
All the way down to it

I may be amazed as we go down
To see how many love the gloom
More than the sun and the sand
And many tell me out of the gloom is where the world began
But you can have it
And many tell me out of the storm is how the world be formed

I may be amazed at the nature of my water
Dirtier than I reckon it oughta
Lord, I try to keep it clean
Lord, I try to keep it bright
But there's forces out of my control messing up my sight
But they tell me now

I don't have to make it deeper
I don't have to make it higher
I don't have to make it stronger
I don't have to make it brighter
But I do. Yes I do
I don't have to make the water run
I don't have to hang the moon out at night
I don't have to beg the sun to show its ass out in sight
I just gotta journey to the end
All the way to it
All the way down to it

Journey To The End

In the novel "The Vanished Birds" by Simon Jimenez, the captain has to re-assert her authority after somebody deliberately and secretly breaks the flute from Macaw. She is righteously furious with her crew.

I've written a tune for the flute from Macaw. It's here on Soundcloud. Enjoy!

My Ship, My Rules

THAT'S WHEN IT HURTS ME THE MOST

Inspired by the Artemis project by NASA to return to the moon

Return To The Moon

In anger, we never , we never do what pleases God
And you will, will never, you will never love what 

What I do in fear, what I do in fear,
What I do in fear, what I do in fear

Thought you’d save me when I’m calling, 
You said it’s early in the morning
 I said yes, I know, dear,

I know, but I’m falling
I know, but I’m falling
I know, but I’m falling
I know, but I’m falling
...

FALLING (Electra Volcana/Druid)

Soon it´s Halloween, go hide in the light!

Let Me In (feat. Gustav Bjoerck)

This is my first song using only eurorack modular synth gear for all the sounds (except the beat, from a "toy" Yamaha PSS-50, & the guitar solo*).  It's also the first in decades with me doing "real" singing, haha, & whistling, wth?! ;)  It needed vocals so I made up some lyrics (below) which fit the creepy mood.  Don't worry, it's not autobiographical.

*Special thanks to Allan Abrenica for performing the guitar solo! - I composed it on a synth but it needed a real guitar.  Check him out https://soundcloud.com/lost-ph and https://soundcloud.com/ageara/tracks. Thanks as well to Steve Newland https://www.thelightafternoon.com/ for his generous assistance with noise reduction for the PSS-50 & Clint Collins https://soundcloud.com/user-836903146 for finding the perfect song image: "Hand with Reflecting Sphere" by Maurits Cornelis Escher (colorized).

Lyrics:
You, looking at me, want to know what I'm thinking
But I won't tell you oh no
Won't tell you
None of your business

Do, do you really think
There's the slightest chance
That we will ever agree on anything?

No, you're not my kind of person
No you're not my kind you see
This is just the way it is
Try not to blame it all on me

So I'm blocking your transmission?
Can you forgive this imposition
On all of your well-laid plans?
Shame on me
So inconvenient

No, you're not my kind of person
No you are not my kind you see
This is just the way it is
Try not to blame it all on me

No, you are not my kind of person
No you are not the kind I need
This is just the way it is
Try not to bleed all over, me...

Mirror Rant

Welcome to the alternative reality that is the Dragonsail Puppets! We have a YouTube channel with cagey comedy and spirited music videos as well. Please feel free to check it out and join us on this party boat!

See their music videos and YouTube comedy series!:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVBel-tzj24Gj9QR8RTRpow

On Earth One, all of the music and lyrics are written by Dragonsail, aka Greg Hester. Likewise, all of the playing and vocal performances and recording and mixing are done by Dragonsail as well. But that's not as interesting as what's happening on Earth Two.

On Earth Two, these songs are created and performed by a scheming diva named Surrenda and her enthusiastic but clueless dog sidekick Bruce. Additional songwriting is provided by their septuagenarian feline keyboardist, Catatonia, and Onree - the sweet pup with the mean shaker. There's also some old geezers in the band who've been with Surrenda for a couple of decades who actually play real instruments, but they mostly loom in the shadows.

The range of styles in their music includes funk, psychedelia, hard rock, prog rock and disco, which they tear away at with whatever instruments and found objects they have stowed away with them aboard their ship, the Club Dragonsail.
