Song Regarding Mr. Dammit 01:21
lyrics

SONG REGARDING MR. DAMMIT You son of a bitch bastard How I hate you’re stupid game You put us on this planet with every kind of pain No answers when we need them We’ve been forced to reconcile The meaninglessness of who we are since we were a child Nice racket that you have here Well look at ya goddamn self Is it us that you control Or does that rest with someone else? Nice racket that you have here: A big old parking space You swirl us in your nothingness And tease the human race You son of a bitch bastard How I hate your pointless rules You have us choosing left with right perpetuating fools And we keep on making doody from the doody we consume Confused and in denial Locked inside your tomb But when we go to sleep I wonder... Is it your life we still resume? Hummm? Ahhhh, you son of a bitch bastard!

My Aggravated Gunzel 02:48
lyrics

MY AGGRAVATED GUNZEL Too late - My back is aching and my eye sight is blurred (Maybe he’s allergic to ya) Too late - When we’re in the kitchen it’s like death has occurred (Making him nauseous) I try to be a reasonable guy I try my best to keep the waters smooth But underneath this veil of lies All I really want to do is make love with you Too late - I remember long ago you used to be smiles: (Cheerful and happy) Too late - and I could never understand why you would hang with us guys (Their attitudes were crappy) I’m sorry if it rubbed on you There were better options open besides this group Instead you found yourself sucked in Became another sample to feed this vicious loop I’m your ace in the hole I really love you - I’d die for you But you don’t treasure my soul It’s amazing how much I put up with you It’s amazing how much I put up with you! Too late - I don’t think I fully realize why you are here (Or why he is writing this stuff) Too late - perhaps I’ll get it in the passing years (After he leaves this place) Right now all I know is this: Out of sight means out of mind to you And I’ll be left alone in this ditch Wishing that I could have made love with you M.A.G.!

Burn Away The Haze 03:42
lyrics

BURN AWAY THE HAZE I screamed without words to the void in my mind, The darkness cried back “Can’t you see that I’m blind?” The questions were countless - the answers were none The words without wisdom - were like night on the Sun But I can’t believe I’m here now, beneath your knowing gaze, It took your love somehow to burn away the haze My pillow was my enemy - My rest was my despair My friends were like a vapor that vanished in the air The only ear for my complaining was my tormented brain, The bits of my mind still remaining, just washed down the drain........ But I can’t believe I’m here now, beneath your knowing gaze, It took your love somehow to burn away the haze But now I'm sitting at your feet - Farewell, those dreadful days My youth was spent, but you were sent - to burn away the haze But I can’t believe I’m here now, beneath your knowing gaze, It took your love somehow to burn away the haze But I can’t believe I’m here now, beneath your knowing gaze, It took your love somehow to burn away the haze

WHY YOU HAVE TO BE SO CRUEL? I stare out my window watching the rain flow I think about last night The way that you kissed me Then quickly dismissed me at your door I don’t know why you have to be so cruel It only makes the passion brew in my heart And even though you “dis” this fool I love you the same I give you my sunshine - I give you my last dime There’s not much I won’t do But you never call me You only install me when you’re feelin’ blue I don’t know why you have to be so cruel It only makes the passion brew in my heart And even though you “dis” this fool I love you the same There’s no way to change you You are a lesson to learn I can not change you Just try to avoid getting burned by you Friends say I’m out of my mind Why do I waste my time with you? But they never get the chance to hold And kiss you the way I do I don’t know why you have to be so cruel (baby) It only makes the passion brew in my heart And even though you “dis” this fool - I love you the same I don’t know why you have to be so cruel (baby) It only makes the passion brew in my heart And even though you “dis” this fool - I love you the same I don’t know why - you have to be so cruel Why do you have to treat me so unkind All I wanna do is make you mine I don't know why...

TEN YEARS LATER So you like to talk about love Yeah, you make believe there’s a romance brewin’ But when it comes to love You’re and empty shell Now I’ve seen you worry - in such a hurry to always please the ones you love And though you satisfy their selfish needs you still go to bed feeling unfed Well ten years later you’ll still feel the same Stick this in your jumper and tell me that I’m wrong 10 years later you’re deeper in the grave Don’t miss out before that gravel rolls So you like to think about God It’s a paradox and a real time waster It’s hard enough with a job in a cubicle with the flat screen busted With lawyers and doctors and beta-teen blockers nipping at your paycheck heels When the day is done and you’re in your bed – get’em out of your head before you are dead Or ten years later you’ll still feel the same Stick this in your jumper and tell me that I’m wrong 10 years later you’re deeper in the stage Don’t miss out before the curtain falls Why do you stand in line The world is turning with such indifference As if you need this line You can leave it - take a path to greater times Well ten years later you’ll still feel the same Stick this in your jumper and tell me that I’m wrong 10 years later you’re deeper in the grave Don’t miss out before the gravel rolls

W.T.F.W.Y? You used to be on time Never missed a minute Dependable as Christmas I would say But here I am and you’re late And it’s way passed my limit There’s no excuse I’m outta here in eight! What gives? Ya didn’t try to call me? You usually beep me every hour It doesn’t add up - you got my message And you said so from the shower We had a date - a flight A deal we’ve been skating The times were set, it all came down to you But you didn’t show your face And the fuzz caught me waitin’ Now I’m in cell “D” and bending for a clue In other words - In other words - In other words Where the fuck were you?!!!

When A Problem When a problem’s in your lap (bugging you - tugging you) Think about that handicap who has it twice as bad When a problem’s in your face (taunting you - haunting you) Think about the scheme of things - It’s over in a flash! The truth is : That speck of humble sand (stuck between your toes) Will be there long ways after you have said your last “hellos” What gives in the after life is not for me to say But while you’re here, French kiss each day And enjoy it Don’t destroy it When a problem’s in your lap (bugging you - tugging you) Think about that handicap who has it twice as bad When a problem’s in your face (taunting you - haunting you) Think about the scheme of things - It’s over in a flash When a problem’s in your lap (bugging you - tugging you) Think about that handicap who has it twice as bad When a problem’s in your face (taunting you - haunting you) Think about the scheme of things - It’s over in a flash It’s over in a flash. Don’t you see it now Mr. Jones? The truth may not be evident even when it’s underneath your nose Ya miss so much by worrying and protecting your ego The fact is, no one years from now will care about your pain Well maybe you should leave some art for the future if it suits ya! When a problem’s in your lap (bugging you - tugging you) Think about that handicap who has it twice as bad When a problem’s in your face (taunting you - haunting you) Think about the scheme of things - It’s over in a flash etc...

DOIN' UP THE BEST THAT I CAN DO I’m doin’ up the best that I can do Considering not everyday is paradise A race is on, sometimes I win or lose Based on how I agitate and empathize Sacred is the power of the word It can leave a deep impression That can change they way you think of life A diamond ring or pterodactyl turd How you wanna hear it all depends on your reality What works for you, may not for me and so on I’m doin’ up the best that I can do Trying to function in harmony It’s more or less a crap shoot I presume Avoiding the face of adversity It took me many years to understand A world of many laws means corruption is the status quo When things look like they’re getting out of hand I pull myself together and retire to the ether world Where big eyed beans from Venus are my friends Yeah that’s right. I said where Big Eyed Beans From Venus Are My Friends. Ya gotta problem with that?... I didn’t think so. BIG EYE BEANS (Venus) BIG EYE BEANS (Venus) BIG EYE BEANS (Venus) BIG EYE BEANS (Venus) BIG EYE BEANS (Venus) It doesn't take much brains to understand Nothing is an absolute, so enjoy this roller-coaster ride Beat that cosmic tom-tom if you can Tapping out a rhythm they can groove to on the other side Where everyone's a leader of a band So I'm doin' up the best that I can do Trying to live in a paradise The Stars, the Moon, the Earth and me and you Sharing a song we all harmonize I'm doin' up the best that I can do Trying to live in a paradise The Stars, the Moon, the Earth and me and you Sharing a song we all harmonize I'm doin' up the best that I can do Trying to live in a paradise The Stars, the Moon, the Earth and me and you Sharing a song we all harmonize I'm doin' up the best that I can do I'm doin' up the best aren't you?

I'VE GOT CREATURES IN MY YARD No beans about it babe! I’ve Got Creatures In My Yard They’ve been growing so awfully fast Spreading into my secret tree Deconstructing heroes that would comfort me (Listen up!) On certain days of humid dust Paranoia is home for lunch Morals crumble and fences rot Faith begins to falter into stomach knots Boy, it’s not like I thought it would be, I mean, I need another shoulder Whoa! I did not expect them to infiltrate my inner draws! I’ve got creatures in my eyes! I shut them out but it’s no surprise SURPIRSE! I can’t escape them, I never could ‘Scuse me if I throw up, I don’t feel so good I don’t feel... so good! etc... I’ve got creatures in my yard Backstabbing creatures in my God... Hey... No beans about it babe the slugs in my back are growing Can’t see no relief and babe My subconscious fears are showin’ If I let’em out I’m afraid they’ll do me in! In a creamy dentist office where my vision comes to rest I see a paper plate fly like a frisbee (“Don’t ask me why!”) TENT you’re outrageous! You’re so contagious! Hummm,I want that frisbee! But I’m afraid that if my clenching tools extend I may never play the drums again “Rainy Days And Mondays”, It’s like they looped it in my head Over and over and over again All American Bumble Bat is craving! All American Bumble Bat is craving to bleed: Styreen Mo’Betta - Styreen Mo’Betta and you! Which is to say me, which is to say you, which is to say : I’ve got creatures in my yard Beneath the wax of my poker cards I’m holding out but it’s getting tough “Suicide delinquent” should they call a bluff No beans about it babe One bag wrapped around and over Hot car in a parking vein Inside nitrous ox is blowin’ Well let me out! Before I sink too deep!

FRANK'S MEDICATION I suggest you don’t sit in this room It’s only gonna spark the negativity Open up a window - lift the gloom Unless your in the mood for more misery Frank’s medication is sitting in a box below a shelf Frank’s medication is waiting in the dark all by itself But who cares? No one can use it now Frank’s no longer here He’s finally booted out Frank’s medication is sitting in a box below a shelf Frank’s medication is waiting in the dark all by itself And I know sometimes I realize I can’ t understand But I can sympathize Frank’s medication - Frank’s medication And I know - you’re hoping to find a sign Is Frank ever coming back? Your guess is as good as mine I suggest you don’t write in this room It’s only gonna open up the darker side Unless you’ve finally given in to doom You should find a sweeter place to fantasize

Well, time and time again I just hang out with my friend And we Marvel at the Milky Way – o Time and time again I’m amazed and over overwhelmed And it leaves us both with nothing to say -o

We are here - Here and now Play our roles to perfection We are here - Here and now Pay the tolls and move onward When I snuck behind the stage that night You could barely look me in the eyes I remember how you mouthed the words “get out goodbye” But this time your house of god was no safe place to hide No, this time your house of god was no safe place to hide Now, the king of preachers can never go home Destine to be paralyzed and hammered with stone The king of preachers can never go home Stripped of your pomposity - Chained to your insanity Left pondering eternity - alone We are here - Here and now Play our roles to perfection We are here - Here and now Pay the tolls and move onward, move onward etc...

Old Hand Sign And then he says to me: “Sin?” “What sin?” He says: “Maybe you were born with sin, but not me.” ” Can’t nail me.” “I’m an innocent bystander”.   “Born to live - born to die - it’s no big deal”. “That’s my reality.” And he goes on and he goes on and he... Eventually he says: “And if there is a god so what?” “If there is a primo manipulator who has it all worked out, than there isn’t much that we can do anyway. Right?” “If it’s all ready sewn up?” “So then what?” “What’s the big deal?” “Aren’t we just little atoms in the fabric of space?” “Born in a blink, gone in a blink?” And then I say to him: “Well, then just play me the music and shut up”. “Just let me enjoy the beauty of the math while I’m still in this absurd body. In this absurd plane. In this absurd time”. “You go your way - I’ll go mine”. And then he stands up and he says: “Case closed”. (laughs) I wish I had nuthin’ but I know I never will ‘cause I got a lot of nuthin’ already...

about

Rubber Solstice (It Wuz & Still Iz Late Octobra Vol. 2)

Though beautiful and serene as it was, living in Maui, Hawaii turned out to be sort of a nightmare. Not only was I six thousand miles away from all my family and friends but I was eventually locked out of Maui Studios, my only steady source of income. What seemed like a slam dunk, I took a convoluted drive to Walter Becker's studio and was welcomed to bring clients in to do work there for $700.00 a day. Problem was I didn't have any musical connections in Hawaii, so that didn't pan out. With very little money left and only a handful of personal items I could bring on the small planes that fly from island to island I tried my luck in Oahu. No such luck; nothing for me to do there either! So I headed back to Long Island. That was late Octobra 2004. Since that time nothing has been the same. It’s been one long struggle trying to recreate what I had at Sonic Underground Studios in Stony Brook. I’m afraid to say, but those days are long gone forever. What lies ahead is truly a mystery.
Yeah, it’s late Octobra alright but it’s not like it wuz. This prison is somehow different.
