Whiskey Fever

[Jeff Bye solo project]
Do you think that you
could stop the wheels
rolling over you
could you grind the gears
grinding into...

You promise to deliver
the gold and the silver
you got it all over
blinded by plunder
you got it
divided by one
it's all for you now

you got it, you got it
all over you

now I know it's all I got told and
it's all the same man
if you're going
it's over now
if you only knew 
the way down
if you only knew
when I told you

there's something in your faith
it's all I got in mind
that's made you lose your way
got to get it all now
so when you get to outer space
that's where you will
finally meet the face
the one that is over 
you don't care, 
it's only my life
you will share 
when you are the only one
are the only one

promise to deliver
the gold and the silver
you act so humble
pretend you're
the prime number
yeah, divided by one
the prime number

Prime Number (demo)

[solo project] (trying to emulate early, like really early, circa 1981-82 New Order)

I believe, you are not
what you perceive
fake to lead, 
put up a front, a ...(facade)

thought I could tear it apart
and put it together at heart
in full disobeyance, fight it forever
follow the fable, bought it and ate it up
wipe your screen, erase your drive
hard to connect it with all of your widgets
in total immersion of every opinion
you find a familiar facade
load it and strap on the bomb
watch you wave your hands around
a broken clock ticking down
paint your face, cover your eyes
cut and paste another disguise

hey, gotta get a low way
hey, hey, hey, hey

go in the night, of my turn, it's a tide 
and oh lord I can't find it, itch an ear and I feel alive
try to mutate it, gotta grow a skin now
at least I got news, got loose, got a lick of of fire
ohhh, let it go
told it could knot up inside and blow
told it could knot up inside
