You Just Don't Know

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

Throwing An Indigo Van Out the Passenger Side Window

Tune popped out while exploring some lyrical concepts that I had been tossing around for a few years...ideas like what subconscious elements and forces lead one to make certain desperate decisions.   What drives me?  What values define my actions, etc... 

Milk Dutch Wheat and Mellow

Basement Tea Party

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

There were the three of us in the room, remember Mike put on the cd and I said you can tell that vocalist has a good heart by the way he articulates, and you just laughed and I said really, what do you know anyway, you married a dagger, Mike turned his head and you told me to grow up, and now the crowd at the bar is smiling at me. There’s this old burnt smell in the air which is reminding me of the abondened movie theatre on the corner of sixth ave. and seventh street, I think I'll sleep there tonight.

Thelma and Louise Sipping Mai Tais in Playa del Carmen

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.

Tomorrow’s World 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".

WHO’S THAT KNOCKIN ON MY BACK DOOR
LIKE THE WAY I DONE BEFORE
WHO’S THAT KNOCKIN LIKE I WAS BACK THEN

WHAT YOU LOOKIN FOR ANYWAY 
WE'VE SAID ALL THERE IS  TO SAY
THERE AINT NO ONE LEFT TO BLAME

YOU KNOW I NEVER MEANT
TO  BRING YOU DOWN
BUT OUR KARMA BABY  WAS SO UNEVEN
THAT’S HOW I COULD RELAX
WITHOUT THE GUILT OF KNOWIN HOW YOU CRIED
FROM THE STRING OF LIES YOU SPUN  INSIDE YOUR HEAD 
and that’s why

NOW YOUR KNOCKIN ON MY BACK DOOR
LIKE THE WAY I'VE DONE BEFORE
NOW YOU’RE KNOCKIN LIKE I WAS BACK THEN 
aint gonna let you in

REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAID
WHEN YOU TOLD ME THAT I WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND
CERTAIN PEOPLE ARE JUST SMARTER
WELL HOW COULD I FORGET
WHEN I KNEW  YOU WERE TALKING ‘BOUT ME
SO MUCH WISDOM IN YOUR SYMPATHY

BUT WHO’S THAT KNOCKIN ON MY BACK DOOR
LIKE THE WAY I'VE DONE BEFORE
WHO’S THAT LOOKIN LIKE I WAS BACK THEN

WHAT YOU LOOKIN HERE FOR ANYWAY
THERE AINT NOTHIN LEFT TO SAY
YOU’RE JUST LOOKIN FOR SOMEONE TO BLAME

OH DARLING YOU CAN’T GO BLAMING ME FOR YOU
‘CAUSE YOU GOT TO FEEL LIKE A FOOL
I KNOW
BUT IT AINT ME BABY
YOU GOTTA LOOK INTO YOURSELF
IF YOU WANNA FIND SOMEONE TO BLAME

SO STOP THAT HANGIN BY MY BACK DOOR
LIKE THE WAY I DONE BEFORE
NOW YOU’RE LOOKIN LIKE I WAS BACK THEN
AND I’M WONDERIN WONDERIN
WHAT YOU LOOKIN FOR ANYWAY
WE’VE SAID ALL THERE IS TO SAY
THERE AINT NO ONE 
LEFT TO BLAME
