“Jonah!”

Th’Lord called down from heaven
Said the wicked need a preach
But I saw through his lazy plan
And I fled out of reach

Now the wicked whip up the ocean
And the demons’re after me
Oh, when the Lord calls down for a favor, yeah, his voice ain’t so sweet

Take my will ‘cause you say gimme all
Take my mind ‘cause I always get it wrong
And take my life in the bargain ‘cause you give me no peace

I jumped into the sea
And the Lord sicced his fish on me
It swallowed me soul and body
And now I’m finally free

Don’t you even dare save me
I don’t care for your saving
All you wanna do is use me
Go find an angel for your plaything

Go tend to your forsaken
The wicked you got your heart on
O I know you’re gonna forgive them
You’re only hard on the first born

I believe you’re a gracious God
But I think you’re an angry fraud / getting soft

From the forgotten
To the known
I bless all who are my own
And I am
Who I am
Whether I forgive or if I damn
I am God

From out the fish’s belly
Spit onto the beach
I went down to Ninevah
And I gave a preach
And sure as hell, they repented, and the Lord gave reprieve

Take my ears ‘cause I can’t hear no more
Take my eyes ‘cause I’ve sure seen it all
And take my life in the bargain ‘cause you give me no peace

The Lord, he sprouted some shade
So underneath it I laid
But then he smote it for fun
And I burned up in the sun

Don’t you dare say you love me
You’re just a burden with your loving
Oh go ahead and you get angry
Even the wicked know you’re bluffing

Don’t you dare say you love me
You’re just a burden with your loving
You only burden those you love
Yeah, you only burden those you love

(Jonah’s Prayer)

In my distress I called on the Lord
Took three days but he answered me
From deep in the realm of the dead
He heard my plaintive plea

He hurled me into the depths
Into the very heart of the sea
The raging currents all swirled around
And his waves swept over me

I cried ‘O I been banished
O, from the Lord’s fond sight
Yet I pray I’ll see him again
When the Lord says the time is right

The engulfing waters threatened
The deep surrounded me
Seaweed wrapped around my head
I was as low as low can be

When my life was ebbing away
O Lord, I remembered you
I shouted out my prayer
Even the dead they heard it, too

O learn, you wicked hearts
What comes when you spite the Lord
He’ll give you three long days
Best set your heart in accord

Wax Dab Dub - with Entheogenic Psychonaut and cgmaness

Got This Feeling

Got this feeling, grips my mind,
Wanna slide down the shower-wall sometimes.

People split, different states of mind,
And leave their ring and keys behind.

And your life becomes a word
On the tip of nobody’s tongue.

No tool-box can fix this wrong –
You’re just a prisoner in the tower of song.

The only by-pass for where you’ve been before
Is the 2-way traffic inside your door.

So talk it up, don't talk it down –
Yesterday's a trick, like the tears of a clown.

Hope and despair both lay their claim
But in the end only love sustains.

And this is all I have to say –
Tomorrow won’t come if you stand in its way.

7   Got This Feeling

Landscape I.

Thanks to everyone who visited this track.
Guided by light. Can you see that light?
Overcome the hardships and trials of life, single-mindedly heading towards the light. 
No need to turn around. 
Because you are guided, you are the chosen one.

I see faces and traces of home
Back in New York City

So you think I'm a tough kid, is that what you heard?
Well, I like to see some action and it gets into my blood
They call me the trail blazer, Rael electric razor
I'm the pitcher in the chain gang, we don't believe in pain

'Cos we're only as strong
'Cos we're only as strong
As the weakest link in the chain

Let me out of Pontiac when I was just seventeen
I had to get it out of me
If you know what I mean, what I mean

You say, I must be crazy, 'cos I don't care who I hit, who I hit
But I know it's me that's hitting out, and I'm, I'm not full of shit
I don't care who I hurt, I don't care who I do wrong
This is your mess, I'm stuck in, I really don't belong

When I take out my bottle filled up high with gasoline
You can tell by the night fires
Where Rael has been, has been

As I cuddled the porcupine
He said, I had none to blame, but me
Held my heart, deep in hair
Time to shave, shave it off, it off

No time for romantic escape
When your fluffy heart is ready for rape, no
No time for romantic escape
When your fluffy heart is ready for rape, no
No time for romantic escape
When your fluffy heart is ready for rape, no
Off we go, off we go, off we go, off we go

You're sitting in your comfort, you don't believe I'm real
You cannot buy protection from the way that I feel
Your progressive hypocrites hand out their trash
But it was mine in the first place, so I'll burn it to ash

And I've tasted all the strongest meats
And laid them down on colored sheets
Laid them down on colored sheets

Who needs illusion of love and affection
When you're out walking in the streets
With your mainline connection, connection

As I cuddle the porcupine
He said, I had none to blame, but me
Held my heart, deep in hair
Time to shave, shave it off, it off

No time for romantic escape
When your fluffy heart is ready for rape, no
No time for romantic escape
When your fluffy heart is ready for rape, no
No time for romantic escape
When your fluffy heart is ready for rape
No time

Too Soft for Sound

I played a bass part for our cover of Tom Waits' "Bad As Me" but it didn't seem to quite fit. 
Then Mo sent me a present to cheer me up with what I had done.
