There was a shadow hanging over me
in the darkness of my youth
The one night I saw eternity
And it felt just like the truth
As the night begins to fall
I take the blame I take it all
Unholy People
They make false claims
Unholy people the shut you out
Unholy people they lay false blame
Unholy people the shut you out
Then sometimes I talk nonsensically
And I get the strangest looks
Other times I talk intelligibly
Because I read too many books
And as the night begins to fall
I take the pain I take it all
Unholy People
They make false claims
Unholy people the shut you out
Unholy people they lay false blame
Unholy people the shut you out
You've got to find your heart again
You've got to find your heart my friend....
(repeat, out)

Mary On My Mind
02:20
|
|||
I wonder why she's so hard to get
52 years I ain't got her yet
I wanna go where her
Blessings will flow
I've got Mary on my mind
Mary on my mind
Mary on my
Every day and night
I wonder now what happens next
I walk this world a wounded wreck
i wanna be where her blessings flow free
I've got Mary on my mind
Mary on my mind
Mary on my mind
And I haven't got the time
Father McKenzie come on mister
Please introduce me to my sister
Sister
Sister
I've got Mary on my mind
Mary on my mind
Mary on my mind
And I haven't got the time

Flow With It
02:24
|
|||
I want this and I want that
Gotta admit, I’m a pretty sad cat
If I eat too much I might get fat
Go with it roll with stay with it flow with it
Go with me roll with me stay with me flow with me.
Modern dreams fit the theme of love.
Blue for flowers and blue to feel
Masquerade is a pretty big deal
Save some bread I’ll eat the heel.
Go with it roll with stay with it flow with it
Go with me roll with me stay with me flow with me.
Modern dreams fit the theme of love.

True Believer
02:57
|

I take the train downtown
Trains make a lovely sound
I take the train downtown today
If I was a true believer
i could escape the deceiver
If am a true believer now
I take the train downtown
Trains make a lovely sound
I take the train downtown today
If I was a true believer
i could escape the deceiver
If am a true believer now
Heavenly choirs and angels that sing
And all the happiness they bring
And when the darkness falls I ride into the night
And when the darkness falls I ride a beam of light
I take the train downtown
Trains make a lovely sound
I take the train downtown today
If I was a true believer
i could escape the deceiver
If am a true believer now

Jezebel
03:02
|
|||
I can read your heart
I can read your mind
When you're all mine
And when you're unkind
And in this darkness
I don't know what to say
My thoughts get blocked
The words just stop
There's nothing left to say
I can see your eyes
I can see your lies
When you're show shrewd
And when you're unwise
And in this darkness
When there's no light at all
I fight the night
I seek the light
I heed the siren's call
The treachery of Jezebel
Who brings down men and raises hell
This was once an empire
This was once an empire
i can see your dreams
I can see your schemes
On the printed page
On the silver screen
And in this nightmare
I don't know what to choose
The doors all shut
There's no way out
There's nothing left to choose
The treachery of Jezebel
That brings down men and raises hell
This was once an empire
This was once an empire
Why oh why can't she change
Why oh why can't she change
Why oh why can't she change?

Watching The Sun Come Up
03:58
|
|||
Plagiaristic parasites and mad sarcastic mamas
Fabricating fornicators quote the Dalai Lama
All I’ve got to say to you is “you forgot a comma”
Oh oh oh oh oh.
I’ve been watching the sun come up
I’ve been watching the sun go down in love
Now I’m already home since I found the rock and roll
And I’m already sold.
Masquerading shadow cats join the celebration
Quantum quoting quizinators find a new flirtation
All I’ve got to say to you is “get a new vocation”
Oh oh oh oh oh.
I feel tired and I feel used
I’m so tired of paying my dues
Got to find my railway shoes, my shoes.

The Day And The Night
03:12
|
|||
Starlight sequence in a clever machine
Glamor photos in a strange magazine
When they dance they dance all night
They do the zombie and the trilobyte
The day and the night
The reader and the writing
It's just a token of faith
And it's a diamond everyday
The sinner and the saint
The viewer and the paint
It's just a glimmer of faith
in the midnight masquerade
Glitterati and the media man
Killer diller and the number one fan
In the spotlight is the place to be
Because tomorrow is just a future memory
The day and the night
The reader and the writing
It's just a token of faith
And it's a diamond everyday
The sinner and the saint
The viewer and the paint
It's just a glimmer of faith
in the midnight masquerade

Was
03:27
|
|||
Happy ever after in the land of the free
Life’s a mystery, so much left to see
When he fell from favor you could feel his disease
Talks of liberty, down there on his knees
Walking down on Main Street with no shoes
The dirt so deep can’t see his baby blues
They’re calling: Was, “was” is what they said
They talk as if he’s dead
“Was,” no longer one of us, I’ve seen him on the bus
Because he was.
All he ever wanted was a piece of the dream
A love that he could hold, a place to call his own
Now he’s masquerading as a man without a scene
Deep inside his soul, stories left untold
Walking down on Main Street for ten years
The voices in his head confirm his fears.
Cold love, it was a cold love
It was a no love.

Here Comes Mr. Faketapes
02:06
|
|||
Here comes Mr. Faketapes
He’s the fascinating tape fabricator
Here comes Mr. Faketapes
He’s the calculating panic creator
He edits and snips
To say what you did not
His immaturity bugs him a lot.
Here comes Mr. Faketapes
Here comes Mr. Faketapes
Here comes Mr. Faketapes
He’s the number one prankster it’s true
Here comes Mr. Faketapes
He’s got all those tapes pranking you
He gathers his friends
They used to be yours
He shares all his tapes
With his favorite whores
Oh how I miss the good old days
When friends were friends and they’d act their age
But that doesn’t matter much to old Faketapes
Here comes Mr. Faketapes
Here comes Mr. Faketapes
Here comes Mr. Faketapes
Here comes Mr. Faketapes
Here comes Mr. Faketapes

Strange Transcendent Mary
Why you want to scare me
You give me the chills
And unpayable bills
Cool exotic lady
Why you want to blame me
You give me the blues
And rock and roll shoes
No one’s ever hurt me like you, babe
No one’s ever hurt me like you
I walk alone through shadowlands there’s no one there to take my hand
But you
I’ve never felt this way before it’s like the end of world war four, it’s true.
Strange Transcendent Mary
Why you want to love me
You give me your kiss
And unbearable bliss
Now you’re sitting pretty
With the friends of Hello Kitty
There by your side
Such a beautiful bride
I don’t want to leave it like this babe
I don’t want to leave it like this.
I walk alone through no man’s land
There’s no one who understands at all
I stumble and I compromise
And someone’s got to pay the price,
I fall.
Strange transcendent Mary
Strange transcendent Mary
Strange transcendent Mary

Waiting For The Paradox
03:43
|
|||
Reach up touch the face of a dreamer
If you’re young, you’re old, or between, yeah!
Twinkling lights, light the night.
One hundred magical powers, one thousand beautiful flowers
Angels sing, as you’re waiting for the paradox to come.
Reach out touch the hand of a stranger
No fear, just freedom, no danger
Treat them right, it’s alright.
Beloved star shine redeemer, things are not quite they seem, yeah!
Love is new, as you’re waiting for the paradox to come.
Love’s been alive forever, at home in the angels’ hearts
If we could strive together, that would be a perfect start.
Reach up touch the face of a dreamer
If you’re young, you’re old, or between, yeah!
Twinkling lights, light the night.
One hundred magical powers, one thousand beautiful flowers
Angels sing, as you’re waiting for the paradox to come.
Love’s been alive forever, at home in the angels’ hearts
If we could strive together, that would be a perfect start.
Reach up, touch the face of a dreamer (fade out).

brick bosso Los Angeles, California
I've been playing music on keyboards ever since I got turned on to Ragtime music as a kid, thanks to the chart topping single "The Entertainer," by Scott Joplin. I find creating music addictive -- I use virtual and hardware synths, drum machines, production tools and sometimes guitar. Though for truly stellar guitar work I turn to Mark Abbruzzese and Eric Endo. ... more
