Ride upon the big wheel
trust in top’n’low feel
but it never gets you
to the one and only real
guard your tongue I didn't say
one shady single phrase
all night long I do see-saw
in the local neon haze
it doesn't make a difference
what it really seems to mean
now that I'm indifferent
with the new normal extreme
I pass all day in my tomb
Making sense of my fortune
All peculiar things in my room
occur to me like torture
I feel just like a broken wing
I wriggle wind and wreathe and squirm
but never ever ready-made
and’ve’been put in that box within
CHORUS
take me like a flouncéd sunbeam makes (some) sence
to keep the monkeys away FROM my hands!
JOCKEY INTERMISSION
take the sceptre in your hand and reign
Start roadtrips in the morning rain
eight-one-five-oh-seven is the dial,
for our today's session trial
If you have well arrived
and you still feel hell alive
If your pals won't rock the jive,
splice your mind with StanZa DAN

and stash and packs and days
that takes my heart for ways
breaks my knees for wrath
+++ and Your eyes so smooth
+++ and your day so smooth
+++ and your mind so smooth
+++ coming, blu line thinner the red line out
Your eyes are so smooth, so smooth
as a daisy
as a daisy
+++ blu lines thinner the red one
+++ when your lips turn up whisper
+++ that takes and eeks in breaks
In red'n'blue lights you see me
advocating and balancing it out
+++ and Your eyes so smooth
+++ and your day so smooth
+++ and your mind so smooth
+++ coming, blu line thinner the red line out
Mmmmh I just wanna stay Your eyes are that smooth,
when I look at you
when I look at you
Mmmmh I just wanna stay Your eyes are that smooth,
when I look at you
when I look at you
In red'n'blue lights you see me
advocating and balancing it out
Your eyes are so smooth, so smooth
as a daisy
as a daisy
Your eyes are so smooth, so smooth
as a daisy

+++ and Your eyes so smooth
+++ and your day so smooth
+++ and your mind so smooth

Play Tricks on Me

submission to poster work
reception of a given stud
prescription is that what you got
for calculation is far apart
tractors pullin square roots out
repeat iterations scream and shout
where stark is the hidden in the cloud
no buck-up is at all allowed
bets are of* hard t'tell who'll win
all are button down the pin
currents flashing up like pain
playing extensive residual games
you catch up to my alpha phrase
are still stuck in the mino's maze
with dominating set of strategies
sufficient to my action tree
with a goddamn chance after all
you Holster up yo perfect call
once upon the time yo'll fall
when you be little than i'll be tall
creep from node to root I will
the opponent pays off loot until
the chalkboard fills a lunatic
who tunes in like a mooning sick
he changes his directions at
those options being fractionéd
and replenishés his action-set
safeguarded, outperformed and mad
spark any good copilote
set up a ballpen and file it
in your glovebox of your car whil it
has been a lot of mileage
Let pi be our zero star
and maximize any chance
let us meet bertrand
drink tea shake hands
pop betray painfully
medicine ashtray injury
order details quantity
play tricks on me

:| hey hey all away |:
keep your dried feet
with the poisenous museec
hey hey popmuziek
on the whole trip
lost the grip
far out
:| hey hey far away |:
with your frowning cheek
and some loud museec
hey hey popmuziek
with a high brow
to the nite show
Full gain
:| hey hey gain for it |:

The Drive

fondering loads and soundwaves of fun
cracking new jokes from here to the sun
licking the toads n hitting the drum
dropping our coats - le coat of arms
sailing in boats never with a gun
that blows everything up - in Updam
living in floats gifts of the song
one-two-three-four....
rocking on and on-and on-and on-....
hop on the train dance ablue note
cocktails of vain served for the show
buckle your brain tucked with a brow
now we hear a refrain that's how it goes
REFRAIN
YOU DRIVE THE CAR AND I
sheer infantile
You give me the shrugs
YOU DRIVE THE CAR AND I
not mercantile
like i give a fuck
YOU DRIVE THE CAR AND I
for a while
and I do the drugs
YOU DRIVE THE CAR AND I
in my own style
get all the hugs

With no comparison at time this conceptual working, creative and emotional performing and rocking the crowd brings you to a gravity of sound and a background at a wide-range level. ... more
