Certain Lack of Caution
03:08

White shirt black tie
Wing tips and gray trench coat
Modest savings and safe abode
Look both ways to cross your street
And yet your life displays
A certain lack of caution
A certain lack of caution
Why do you fall
How can you dive
So headlong into danger
Who do you call
How can you thrive
In the arms of a stranger
Early bed, early rise
Always have your breakfast
No known cravings, at times alone
Speak so soft to those you greet
And yet your life displays
A certain lack of caution
A certain lack of caution
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do
How can you thrive
In the arms of a stranger
White shirt black tie
Wing tips and dark glasses
Walking briskly skies gray above
Quiet nods to those you meet
And yet your life displays
A certain lack of caution
A certain lack of caution
Why do you fall
How can you dive
So headlong into danger

Lament In A Flat

Why does no body want to love me
Why does no body seem to care
Why does no body want to hold me
Why is no body next to mine
The pieces of life’s puzzle just won’t fall into place
The tales of my days are all tales of woe
There’s no one who will give me all the things I need
A lonely saga you will never know
Why Why oh Why Why oh Why Why oh Why?
Why does no body want to love me
Why does no body seem to care
Why does no body want to hold me
Why is no body next to mine
An empty cup was once so full
A shattered mirror once was whole
A sharpened knife became so dull
This tattered life has lost its soul
The pieces of life’s puzzle just won’t fall into place
The tales of my days are all tales of woe
Can someone who is loving just take care of me
A lonely person who will need you so
Why Why oh Why Why oh Why Why oh Why?
Why does no body want to love me
Why does no body seem to care
Why does no body want to hold me

I Wish
03:08

I wish I were a rambler
A thousand miles from here
I wish I were a gambler
With none but luck to fear
I wish that I could see you
And hold you warm and near
If I had but one wish
I’d wish to have you here
I wish the sun were shining
With not a cloud in sight
I look for silver linings
But they all hide at night
I wish that I could see you
And hold you warm and near
If I had but one wish
I’d wish to have you here
I dream of you
Though sleep won’t come
Is it just the truth
I’m running from?
I wish I knew a wise man
For he’d know what to do
I wish I knew a prophet
And see my future too
I wish that I could see you
And hold you warm and near
If I had but one wish
I’d wish to have you here

Magical Monarch
02:44

Hover like a butterfly
Black and yellow wings
Subject to your Monarchy
You can pull the strings
Bewitch me, you have
Be with me, my love
Enslave me, so lightly
Be the hand to my glove
Soft like a butterfly
Summertime she sings
Give me your blessing dear
You can give me wings
Bewitch me, you have
Be with me, my love
Enslave me, so lightly
Be the hand to my glove
Fragile like a butterfly
Summer dress that clings
Beautiful, so magical
Monarchs are your kings
Bewitch me, you have
Or switch your point of view
Be caught in the web
That I made for you
Be caught in the web
That I made for you

Ancient sages
Long lost saints
Silent and forgotten
Wormy and so rotten
Ancient sages
Long lost saints
Covered now in rust
Mouths are gagged with dust
Oh paradigm is it original or archetype
Oh paradigm is it original or archetype
I see through all your lies oh
Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs
One more part of me dies ooooh
Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs
I see through all your lies oh
Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs
One more part of me dies ooooh
Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs
Ancient pages
Bloodless stains
Precious and forsaken
Never to awaken
Ancient pages
Bloodless stains
Relics made from bone
Rubrics set in stone
Oh paradigm is it original or archetype
Oh paradigm is it original or archetype
Ahhh
I see through all your lies oh
Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs
One more part of me dies ooooh
Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs
How sweet this life we have, think some
Other folks aim for the paradise to come
Dude take cash in hand forget the rest
808’s so loud you feel it in your chest
I sent my soul through the gates of death
Looking for the answers beyond our breath
Rocking my soul when it returned
Abraham poured chrism on the holy burns
You tempted me with sex and gin
Satan prowled about, and I could smell it
My soul was forfeit, if I would sell it
Ahhh
Is it original or archetype
Oh paradigm is it original or archetype
Oh paradigm is it original or archetype
I see through all your lies oh
Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs
One more part of me dies ooooh
Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs
I see through all your lies oh
Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs
One more part of me dies ooooh
Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs
