Ain't That Like My Masterpiece

Lyrics by Teng...music JOrdon..

Soul of Monkey

#Verse

They do not see my strain
They want to eat
The inner side of hope 
The brain of my life

Now they enjoy my brain
Chew cheerfully
They stultify my hope
My body will die

#Chorus

I live as soul of monkey
Loving the fragrant trees
I want to be free
I fear my grief

I will not hate bad folly
They make me so weak 
I need a safety
I have to leave

Soul of Monkey

Cameras And Dreams

Life Whispers On

You Are The Light- Dance

Down

More Than Enough Is Much Less

If Not Today Maybe Tomorrow

I’m a discipline man, not a medicine man, and I don’t even care, someone warn her

‘Cause she’s a typical man, only lives off the land 

‘Cause she’s reason to think war’s beneath her

Heaven


It’s a sensible plan, not some sugary jam

Philosophically speaking it’s genius

“Cause we’re a principled clan

Such a reputable brand

And there’s nothing we sell so you’ll love us


Perfect enough

Not to climb but just bounce


Risk it all

Make that call


I’m a discipline man, no metaphysical man, and she don’t even care someone warned me

She’s a typical man

Only lives off the land

‘Cause she’s reason to think wars beneath her


Easy enough 

Not to program but play


Age like you shine

Right in time

Playing In The Sand

You on the phone hunched over in a sweater..it’s nice to see you on the pottery wheel again, I’ve missed the smell of wet clay, and David believes he has painted The Seine At Argenteuil from scratch- all while I was pondering the fact that sound has shape when suddenly I got pulled over by a firetruck

Save Your Lies For David

I can’t see over the Southhampton hedges, it’s good to be taken seriously, but no more serious then you are, there’s the sound of a festival in the street, see all the skinny people eating ice cream- it sure is heaven when you’re not in hell.

Avenue Bee

13 birds circling about a quarter mile high in the sky, I’ve never seen so many birds circling so high, there are no robots in sight.  He’s not too friendly but he’s got a heart of gold, at a young age he fell in love with falling in love.  I’ll be  the first to break the silence, the silence that’s been kept as long as it’s taken the river to carve the canyon, the canyon between you and me.  You bought a black and white color chart with blood money, I’m talk-in money from the blood bank.  Driving up a one way road, cursing at everyone as you go, trees look like broccoli in a miniature world.  And now it’s five o’clock Thursday afternoon and Friday’s in the air.

Don't Be A Heart Breaker

Uh Blue Orange

The last lemming didn't jump and all my counting eggs have hatched, for it seems my desires are the walls of my prison sometimes.  Stepping forward into our future, from time to time you got to get drop heavy.

Days Water Symbiotic

As gentle as the rolling hills, the bramble and the deer, the night it holds hushed secrets meant only for your ears.  As fleeting as a Truffula tree on paper framed by silk embroidered oak and gold melting in the rain.

Benefit From The Truth (Feat. Michael Cunio)

Can you take your own advice?  In an embarrassed junk yard I heard someone saying..."Maybe we’ll find that sometimes you’ll know things I don’t know and maybe even giggle, and sometimes I’ll know things that you don’t know, and have to smile cause I can’t help it, and you won’t know why.  And the things that each one of us know are the same things, just at different times".

Vacation People

Pig footed pigeon toed people in the form of Tonka Toy flesh are tearing up there yoga mats..I don't know why.. Bubble gum and hairspray may be the solution.  I say you're as pretty as you look in the fine line between home runs and fouls.

Dolly

Have you ever realized you can't "unexplain" something...it's not even a word in the dictionary..

Ambulance In Gridlock

Might I interest you in a bit of day light? There’s a lot of it up here sometimes.. will do my best to get it to you…

Sky Scraper Zebra

Beautiful girl in the elevator, bubble gum and hair spray, then into the lobby with smell of baby powder and beer.  It’s 5:46 and there ain't no sign of the sun coming up for another hour or two, connections are strange now, people still drunk or rushing off to work, or both, lol....Theater people and suits and the sound of music, last night's noise still coming out of a dirty bar on this snowy city morning.

City Boy and Country Boy

Drunk Psychiatrist kissed by the night, commanded by the skin of his teeth-use to be small and couldn't see over the wall, but grew five feet and now can see it all, bearing the kings baby on a lonely mandatory and recreational reversing of disease flip phone...so many commercials...not enough promiscuous hairy roofing over the Grand Canyon.

I Might Be Make Believe

A healthy computer sais there's something in your hair and you sound like a jazzy Mazy Star.  Buttons, levers and electric circuits compliment your deep browns.  Borrowing nectar from wasps, don't be one of those smart no heart gents.  How'd the tape get tangled on my vintage answering machine?  I guess I'll ask the golden twirl who is filled with truisms and yesterdays gone.

Innocence

Recording was made in 1992, have been to shy to show it to people, but just dumped off the 8 track and thought I'd put it

A Christmas Gift From New York (feat. Michael Cunio)

I guess your not sure 'bout the house rules
And just what's going on here.
Well you're not alone.

But all I know is I can see the open fields and alley ways
When I look to you
Like you used to look to me

But I can't believe that you're that same old boy
The one who couldn't find his way
Out of the maze she drew you

You were an eagle in the highest tree
But couldn't see for miles around
All of the joy that your wings could bring

But now there's a tune you sing
That gets you by
You found the garden
On the inside

You were a poor boy then
But now you fly
Above your mansion in the sunrise

So baby step and you can get
Anything that isn't yet
Sold or not for sale
By the indian down the trail

'cause give and take and love and hate
up around and all around
he can help me be
that's what you promisted me

but now the same thing's happened to me
oh my god
how could you let them
I was your alone for so long

So tell the truth
or soul will knock you to the ground
in the moment
that you take your eye
off the ball
la la la la

the final page just got swept away
so now  it's time we played
in open fields and alleyways

Open Fields And Alleyways
