Seems like I woke up in a dream
Feeling connected to people that I’ve never seen
Too bad they can’t see me
They keep walking and gawking, none of them notice that they’re floating right downstream 

She’s waiting in a sunbeam
Looking back at us as she floats away, her eyes alit, agleam
Calling out, but not to me
Like a siren silently singing a hypnotic, nautical theme

Well it’s ruthless game that you’ve been playing
You won’t stand a chance if you’ve been drinking
So learn the rules and play along
Just dance dance dance dance dance if you don’t know the song

I think i woke up in Japan
Now the sheep man comes up to me and says “you’ve got to stomp and clap your hands.
All you gotta do is to dance”
And if you can’t do that, then fuck you man, at least give something a chance

Sapporo Sunrise
Checked into the hotel and behind her glasses we briefly locked eyes
I guess It came to my surprise
That when I got my room, the lights were out. World dark. Total demise

Came to after nightfall
Found the sheep man was gone, as I snooped around these velvet, black, quiet halls
She vanished right into the walls
So I kept it in step, still dancing along, no meaning to it all

I’m leaving so much on hold 
As the thoughts unfold, I hear the theme get told, but I’m losing control
Its all starting to unroll
No matter how numb, you’ve gotta limber up, Conscious Beyond Control

I said take me to The Bull Goose Looney
There’s something that he aught to know
I’m going to tell him to watch the movie
Because he ain’t The Bull Goose no more
Your currents are flowing through me
But I’m the one that’s in control
This place, it made us gloomy
I’m gonna break us out and that’s for sure

Shock me


A wild jerky puppet thing, with mad mechanics soldering 
The circuit board inside his head
A psychiatric sycophant, who’s searching for a seed to plant
Inside a mind as though a flower bed

His sanity in questioning, who pulls the strings? The question being
The answer, I already know
The battle axe befuddling what lines to cross and muddling
The meaning of when we say no

Choose wisely the stool you stand on
And the planet you land on
Pick well the shoulder you cry on
And what hill that you want to die on

Can’t you see? it wasn’t for me
You don’t get to choose who’s weak and who’s strong
All along, you were writing the words while singing the song
And then you wonder why I couldn’t play along

I said take me to The Bull Goose Looney
There’s something that he aught to know
I’m going to tell him to watch the movie
Because he ain’t The Bull Goose no more
Your currents are flowing through me
But I’m the one that’s in control
This place, it made us gloomy
I’m gonna break us out and that’s for sure


Listen here, looky there
Their eyes and ears are everywhere
They watch us, to keep us scared
Convincing us we need repair
But I’ll fight back and face despair
What’s the worst that they could have prepared?

When you’re living for your dreams
You risk the present start to haunt you, where the future’s all you see

Reveal to me my secrets
I'm tired of finding myself right nowIf you’re trying to feel “with it”
Don’t go inside, behind your brow
Just be outside and live it
Adrift, floating in the anyhow
Nothing here is is mystic
And no one is holier than thou

Here I am, once a thinking man, thought I carried that with me
I used to plan and ponder moments that had yet to come or be
Well I’m here right now and I’m leaning into this curiosity
For all I think I know, my constant truth is in my present POV


Here I am, once a thinking man, just a product of my mind
I use to ponder futures, planning every moment by design
But I’m here right now and I’m leaning into my self-constructed lies
Because my point of view is a slice of truth, but the moment is the pie
