Ms. Milkshake

I used to come in the morning,
pancakes in my hands.
To the house of my mistress,
one who understands.
Her name was Ms. Milkshake,
down on Candy Lane.
She had just one proviso,
which I must explain.
When she entertains you
keep this in your head.
Try not to spill your milkshake
on Ms. Milkshake's bed.
Strange magic and contraptions
fill her country home.
Astrolabes and alchemy
from a bygone age.
And when, when I ask her
of her antecedents
she takes, she takes me lightly
despite my insistence.
"Tell me about your occupations
daily business affairs.
Speak to me of the situations
of which I am not aware."
There are things that I don't know
wrapped up in your mystery
immersed in streams that still flow
through my dreams and over me.

Learned Man
No one can understand.
Learned Man
Watches the world slip through his hands.
Taken alone
he has no one to call his own.
The price he's paid
has made him strange to normal ways.
Learned Man
Can't convince the Common Man.
Learned Man
Envies the Action Man.
Placed in box.
Left to suffer with his thoughts.
The price he's paid
has made him strange to normal ways.
Learned Man
Don't be afraid to take her hand.
Learned Man
You've got the tools to make her whole.
Immersed in books.
Use your mind for something good.
Just because you're shunned
doesn't mean you can't become
the Hero of mankind.
The wonder kid of the heartfelt mind.

I was ten.
You were the queen of Hollywood
The Mistress of the Big Screen.
and all that's left are the films
and the memories.
But we can work it out.
Meet me tonight
at the cineplex
before we get too old.
So we aged.
Seasons changed, consumed the days.
We sought you in our small towns,
but you were caught in your fall
from grace.
But we can work it out.
Meet me tonight
at the cineplex
before we get too old.
We can have a home
a cinematic fantasy.
And when we are old,
we'll have the grace of a happy ending.
We can have a home...

Watching the Aeroplanes
05:32
|

|
Lying in the Morning Forest
Fir trees up above
Damp bodies, we lie there watching
Our world come undone
Rendevous, Market Square
With missiles in the air
I've seen these streets once before
When summer was still there
Shadows fall on our cafe
As the city turns to ash
Watching the aeroplanes
While the moment lasts

At the Great Gate, you cannot be late
Girl
In the Great Hall, I'll show you it all
Girl
Out of a dream, I paint the scene
Girl
Beckoned from your sleep
to the new chamber
in which you dream
It's all complete now
It's all complete now.
Falling in too deep
Annihilated
We gasp to breath
It's all complete now
It's all complete now.
The throne becomes our seat
Initiated
Now comes the Spring
It's all complete now
It's all complete now.
