"NEW WAVE" Dancing alone in my room The poem of a life in near completion Left me to die in a tomb A stone of light I view and through a vision: I'm getting out of here: It's not an act of treason I'm getting out of here: Tis a change of season I'm getting out of here: I'll give you rhyme and reason Faster Fashion I do crave Time to pave a New Wave Sway ! Succumb to the trance The only way to pray is if you come on to the dance Rave ! To music you're enslaved By the beat you are saved Welcome to the New Wave Heaven is the record store D-E-V-O-T-I-O-N doesn't spell completion You can all me Brit-Band Whore Manchester , 1980's , my Elysian Fields , yeah I'm getting out of here got my gift , got my skill I'm getting out of here get my drift: I'm Still Ill I'm getting out of here lightning swift I will fulfill Blessed Bowie is my fave Time to pave a New Wave Sway ! Succumb to the trance The only way to pray is if you come on to the dance Rave ! To music you're enslaved By the beat you are saved Welcome to the New Wave Copyright 2002 Beau Phillips
“APATHY” I don“t know what they“re thinking today Giving their voices away to someone who they Know is only out for themselves Just know it“s in our hands Apathy ~ we“re the ones who“ll pay if we don“t care today Apathy ~ you won“t have a say if we let them get away Apathy ~ generational suicide It“s almost as if you“re living a lie Entrusting your life to someone who I Know is only out for themselves Just know it“s in our hands Apathy ~ we“re the ones who“ll pay if we don“t care today Apathy ~ you won“t have a say if we let them get away Apathy ~ generational suicide Tomorrow never knows What reality we chose I hope the sun still glows We“d drown away in the woe Apathy ~ we“re the ones who“ll pay if we don“t care today Apathy ~ you won“t have a say if we let them get away Apathy ~ generational suicide Copyright 2000 Beau Phillips
“AWAKE” It all started when I was three or four Some children dream , some do more Before my body fell into a stiff state Incubus attacked and my mind would create A nightmare awake I would gladly forsake My mother would shake me back to my room , awake The night terrors gone Childhood goes on Kidnappers and Snakes a distant song All along I was wrong ~ was I wrong? It came again when I was 21 I bled with prophecy set by my sun With the lights down the corner hit my face I swear that was the moment when from the portal they raced A nightmare awake I would gladly forsake My mother would shake me back to my room , awake The night terrors gone Childhood goes on Kidnappers and Snakes a distant song All along I was wrong ~ was I wrong?

“FREE IN THE NIGHT”Sometimes are hard You“re chased in fear The jagged shard Would trace your tears And if the scar Made the message unclear Count the stars And I“ll appear I“ll save you tonight and take you aflight You“ll be such a sight , so free in the night I“ll save you tonight and take you aflight You“ll be such a sight , so free in the night Don“t give up hope You will escape Life seems a joke Written in fate How do we cope? Well , I“ll create A life boat To take you away I“ll save you tonight and take you aflight You“ll be such a sight , so free in the night I“ll save you tonight and take you aflight You“ll be such a sight , so free in the night Copyright 2000 Beau Phillips
“GO AWAY SOMETIMES” I walk to and fro Between these two rooms In each one I go Still emptiness looms Senses sing from Low And everything will go away Tell me does your life pervade with deja vu? Disbelief is rife in everything you do Slice it with a scythe And everything will go away Craving fascination I need some mesmerizing Escape into elation I find it mesmerizing I“ll go away sometimes Like everyday sometimes I can dream of a time that“s clean and true and temporarily sink out of the blue I“ll go away sometimes Like everyday sometimes I can dream of a time that“s clean and true and temporarily sink out of the blue Walk in the room It“s calling me , calling me Wade past the gloom She followed me , followed me I turned the seasons and I wept with glee Oh , lovely lady got a fate with the faeries As an Aries , I declare she“s gotta scary side Don“t wanna share She“s an affair with super-regicide I“ll glide away from all the violent despair And fall asleep because I don“t care I“ll go away sometimes Like everyday sometimes I can dream of a time that“s clean and true and temporarily sink out of the blue The morning light Wake me up , Make me up And late at night Well , she take me up , take me up I just won“t say No to the dream Sometimes things are as strange as they seem Now open wide Take a drink Let love sink Feel satisfied? Freely think , millions sigh I just want to meet you as a child and loose track of the while I“ll go away sometimes Like everyday sometimes I can dream of a time that“s clean and true and temporarily sink out of the blue Copyright 2001 Beau Phillips
“REQUIEM” I saw a girl Sitting down in the middle of the street She looked content to greet The carriages in the fleet Her orphan gaze gave the trippers a complete maze And now I don“t know where she“s been She jumped in a van for a spin “She“ll come back and see you“ Beautiful dreamers do She“s my silent nightingale Flies instead of stepping on nails She sought a thrill Filling the vacancy her soul She fed her head like a hole But bridges take their toll She“s lose herself in her rock n roll song And now I don“t know where she“s been She gone again coz sin is in Every hit was a mourning of the past Never gonna be the same as the last one Escape from pain is what she needs Escape the living , she did succeed Oh , lovely call me Call me to the window at night I sleep downstairs ~ No one will hear we I wanna say “hi“ I look into your eyes And I savor the taste of rose thorns We hide together from the Nothing And the strawberry patches under our feet As we pretend the days away“ Copyright 2001 Beau Phillips
“FOREVER CHANGE” He told me he could read my future and so I believed We wondered over weed , my tooth hurt and so I believed I happened on some madness , wanted to find my dream So saddened was the badness , haunted by lines and trees And now I don“t know what the truth is It seems that I dreamt that this would happen Change can be good or so I understood Until that day strange How life can forever change He told me could look into his crystal ball and I replied , “Oh what do you see?“ He went into a trance for hours and Oh , I wanna go home Synasthesia , she will hear the colours of your dreams See what you sing , I said I think I had to much to dream And now I don“t know what the truth is It seems that I dreamt that this would happen Change can be good or so I understood Until that day strange How life can forever change Copyright 2001 Beau Phillips
“LIVE LIFE ALIVE” I garden everyday I like to live on low I find it“s the only way To let my garden grow I know Mother Nature well She gives gifts to you and I You“re living life in a cell? Sow some seeds and let“s get high I like to live life alive You get in your car and you drive Cure boredom , find joy Doors open , love boys and girls I wake up everyday Light the morning path a glow I find it“s the only way To let the freedom flow I know secrets never spoke Whispers of the past unwind And when you get yourself awoke Close your eyes and you will find I like to live life alive You get in your car and you drive Cure boredom , find joy Doors open , love boys and girls Copyright 2001 Beau Phillips
“GOTH GIRL” Is she dreamy like they say? I discovered her one day Touched centuries of the past Floated through time so fast Horticuriosity , went the way of the seed Fell asleep on the way to Ozz , and we rolled down through the weed Goth Girl Lay a gentle mantle over misery Goth Girl Black velvet vintage recalls history Shroud yourself in the shadows Awkwardness becomes mystery Disintegration Closer to Low Alienation becomes daring Goth Girl Lay a scented candle in the dark devout Goth Girl Say a silent prayer as she lies about Shroud yourself in the shadows Awkwardness becomes mystery Disintegration Closer to Low Alienation becomes daring Oh , The blackness Sha-wadda - wah She“s my Goth Girl Copyright 2001 Beau Phillips

“WHAT ABOUT HERB” I feel so stuck Don“t give a motherfuck Screw the clones , corporate cronies 3-piece clones ~ Whores , you can blow me So out of luck Weekdays so do suck Work“s a 4 letter , to quote Morrissey Works no better than utter misery To get unfettered is where I wanna be He finally answered his cell phone That means it“s time to go skip stones Said he“s meet us on the hill And there , our order he would fill Hop on the freeway , hook the bait But give him leeway ~ Always late Time to journey to the unknown Thanks for coming , hate to go alone Southern Cali fit the bill But bud is better in Vacaville The only pleasure-packing thrill ~ the only thing with any appeal The best way to get real ~ boredom finally is killed Freeze life ~ finally chilled ~ Let“s go get stoned ! Hey ! Atleast it“s not crack that we“re smoking Get the complete facts ~ Mother Nature“s growing ! It“s kind of absurd , when logic is blurred By the governments“ word ~ So drink is preferred What about Herb? What about Herb? Tree time all day ~ Climb a tree and high you“ll stay Scope the view ~ See through the reflect Toke with your crew ~ Form a weed sect Let us all praise ~ Spark a J and let“s all blaze Shotgun ! Shotgun ! It“s my hobby ! Shotgun ! Shotgun ! It“s my hobby ! Capitol Hill needs a weed lobby ! We“re gonna march on DC So bring your blunts and bake brownies ! So , let“s all meet on the Hill And peacefully , we will all chill 4/20 is the date Stoner syndrome ~ Don“t be late ! A ton of stoners won“t bring hate We“ll smoke and watch DC elate Clinton inhales , life is great ~ Let“s go get stoned ! Hey ! Atleast it“s not crack that we“re smoking Get the complete facts ~ Mother Nature“s growing ! It“s kind of absurd , when logic is blurred By the governments“ word ~ So drink is preferred What about Herb? What about Herb? Copyright 2002 Beau Phillips
“WHY” I don“t know where we“ve been , my love It feels like I woke up from a nightmare There wasn“t horrid events or death But a disconnection leaving us so bare Looking into your black pools Only a trace of the one I revere I“ve got to get us through this maze I“ve got to raze the fear Why? We ask ourselves Why? We don“t know why We hold ourselves hostage and demand the highest ransom And why do we find ourselves hurting the ones that we love? I hate this pit in my stomach Wish it would go the hell away You tell your cell to think of something else And yet it perpetually stays It gets so stale when you dwell in that well Personal hell ~ I fell , wanna yell to the sky: Why? Does it feel like we“re all gonna die? Why? We ask ourselves Why? We don“t know why We hold ourselves hostage and demand the highest ransom And why do we find ourselves hurting the ones that we love? Copyright 2002 Beau Phillips

“MIRAGE/SAND IN MY EYES” It was so weird Waking up in the middle of the desert By myself and just stars and Mountains encroaching I“d panic but I feel free Though time is another tempo No water in sight But the air feels liquid and druggy Does time exist in black deserts?

“WHO YOU LOVE” Yesterday it hit me like a train How many years did I ignore? Wrote poetry of love in vain My boat had barely left the shore Now I know you and I know me And I don“t care what they think I awoke from a walking dream Now my boat will never sink Why do they lie to us? Why are we born with such unflinching trust? Hating us is so unjust If you love someone you must love them So love who you love There“s no choice when it“s natural So love who you love Make the truth actual They“re just afraid of something that God made His children Yesterday I wondered to myself How could they lie to us for so long? Forcing us to put or love lives on the shelf What feels right is really wrong Now I know me and I know you Why would we choose the abuse? Soon they“ll awake and believe the truth And it will set so many free Why do they fight with us? We are all born with a unique lust Hating us is so unjust If you love someone then you must love them Copyright 2000 Beau Phillips
“GRATEFUL” I don“t want change I just want yesterday But yesterday is yesterday She was my best friend Thought from beginning to the end By now she“s in a different land Her journey complete , she helped me understand I guess I“ve realized Things change but we still go on In my life , I“m alive Seems strange , but I“m grateful for my days I“m grateful for my days Why did it end? So suddenly , or did I pretend? That everything with Mom and Dad was fine Sometimes we ignore the most obvious signs Together forever A love so strong that nothing could sever But blindness will preclude the sad I see now that good can sometimes come from bad I guess I“ve realized Things change but we still go on In my life , I“m alive Seems strange , but I“m grateful for my days I“m grateful for my days Copyright 2000 Beau Phillips
“STRANGE DAYS” What do I see at the turn of the century? A nation transfixed by “reality TV“ Place the players in positions of enemy Whatever happened to empathy? Survival of the fittest , like Lord of the Flies Gone are values like compromise We teach our children what“s on the screen Embedded in their heads , they remember what they“ve seen Now I“m not advocating censorship Just put some thought behind it when you let the ink drip These days are strange and new But change will get us through The tunnel of life is a journey through the dark To find the way , follow your heart If he can“t speak , he doesn“t speak for us Strong defeat the weak when he loses all our trust You will find a situation of disgust The man who speaks represents us When times change , we forget how he came Systems deranged , rely on fame When history sets the record straight How I just hope it won“t be too late Now I“m not calling for an overthrow But just imagine what we don“t know These days are strange and new But change will get us through The tunnel of life is a journey through the dark To find the way , follow your heart Copyright 2001 Beau Phillips

“CENTRIFUGE” I know that sound Afraid to swim But if you drown At least you die knowing you were headed for shore You always dread the unfamiliar dream But if we didn“t dream Dreams come so we know tomorrow Without dreams we“d shatter in sorrow She was moving from an unreality that was frightening Into a reality that was unreal because it was new What is the lesson learned?

“JOURNEY” I told no one I left Sunday Had to get to you By the end of the day Drove across three states Carried in a cloud of smoke Pondered our fate And in the dark I awoke As the night fell , in Utah I arrived Under a midnight spell , I drove hypnotized Along the black highway , Utah night , afraid to stop I hit 100 , clairvoyance topped the cops Nothing could block me from the only thing in my sight The promise of your sweet kiss in the tunnel was my light And as I followed the road that snaked along the hill I saw you in the distance , now I know the dream is real I love you so much , three days apart was hell You“re the only one who“s touched the depths of my well So I rescued you from misery and bane Baby , we together can anesthetize the pain And as our journey ends , we“ll escape the dark I will protect you baby , you“re the holder of my heart Copyright 2002 Beau Phillips

“ANSWER TO YOU” Dear Comrade , how we used to be the closest of friends It“s so sad how we chose to circumvent the destined end Is destiny a book that only few can access? Or is existence a blank page ~ we choose our own actions Dear Foe , you have to know the consequence of your actions Fear only leads to anger and to crimes of passion A sacred oath between us both , you choked and Judas kissed A conscious choice , so spoke your voice , a friendship you have ditched I don“t wanna say goodbye to the past But I guess in life , nothing lasts You go through day to day , choose if you don“t or if you do Everything“s a choice , in the end you answer to you Dear comrade , we both know exists a seperate plain We tap into a consciousness bordering insane Sixth sense may thus convince , but not in reality Ethics are built on sense and not your motherfucking fallacies We understand a line was crossed ~ there“s no retracing It“s really sad , a friendship lost , there“s no replacing My loyalty now lies with he who holds my heart Betrayed us both and now you know why we must part Confront the way we lived our lives It doesn“t make much sense What“s not said converts to lies Is such a borderline defense Copyright 2002 Beau Phillips
“GOODBYE YESTERDAY” They don“t tell you when they write their songs That with love so much else comes along I“ve never flown through so many different feelings But why the fuck do I feel like it“s killing me All I want is to ride off into the sun Of the billion people on Earth , you“re the only one So why can“t we just eliminate before us I guess that“s the cue to skip to the chorus Goodbye Yesterday Here“s to better days All that matters is me and you The jealous boyfriend bit is through We talk about the past and I don“t know why My stomach turns in knots when I hear of other guys I know that it“s silly , when we“re committed to forever We both would never do anything that would sever Since I“m yours and you are mine , no secrets could exist Just some thoughts of the past make me wanna pound my fist But I“ll cease the immaturity , didn“t live a life of purity I have no reason to be jealous When I“m the choice of all the fellas to be your man Copyright 2002 Beau Phillips
“TWAS BEFORE OUR LOVE” My heart is bleeding I feel so empty and my face is smashed Into a wounded smear My youth was fleeting I know life now And seen in snatched away into a tear And how the pit of my being Was deceived into believing Can“t forget what I“ve seen For so long lost in a dream God , I feel so sick Don“t wanna share her kiss with the people I know of She“s my only love The harlotry she“s quit I must forget the shit that I know of “Twas before our love But sometimes late at night I wonder Why she once charged Men to be her lover Forgetting the past , it“s all asunder Realize the past is but a dream Copyright 2002 Beau Phillips
“YOU“RE THE DIFF” So many nights spent spinning Morrissey and The Smiths Identifying with his longing , loneliness and quiff Resolved to live a loveless life , I“d sigh and light a spliff “What difference does it make ,“ I“d cry and now surprise , you“re the diff I don“t know why I go there honey Begging for more pain I like skies of blue Sunny days instead of rain My love , you never did no wrong Since we“ve been in ecstasy That would be another song But instead , you“re next to me I“ve never lived to make somebody smile before I“ve never given what lies so deep in my core To be honest , there was never another from whom I wanted more Ever since we came together my jaws been on the floor Your gentle lips caress my face I love you for miles Relievingly sweet to feel so complete I love to swim in your smile I don“t know why I go there honey Begging for more pain I like skies of blue Sunny days instead of rain My love , you never did no wrong Since we“ve been in ecstasy That would be another song But instead , you“re next to me Copyright 2002 Beau Phillips
“WELLBUTRIN” Do you ever feel like your wheels exploded Like nothing is real , reality eroded There“s no free will when your killed and loaded on pills That“s the way you feel . . On the night before the end of all days Take your pill , watch the books ablaze Look at all the wild ways We escape into a haze I“m sorry you feel so stuck in a void Won“t you please just fill it with me?

“RICH IN LIFE” When you“re in the middle of nowhere It gets so dark You gotta solve the riddle and go where Says your heart You don“t find it through silence Or find it through fear Or find it through violence Or find it through tears You gotta go there to know there And then everything will be clear Rich in Life Not in fa“ade Rich in Life Give way to mod Rich in Life All time is odd Rich in Life But love is never flawed I got so scared on that highway Its later than years A solitaire drive with only my guy Can steer with the gear But I was paranoid of demons Leering my back I must avoid the policeman Mirroring crack On Sunday morning I turned back And on my back , swung my sack Copyright 2002 Beau Phillips
“AFRAID OF SLEEP” Why is it when I take a short nap In the middle of the day I nightmare , Find a map Tell me secrets , show me the way And when I awoke Stepped through another door Let go of the rope And all that was before And why do I choke Scared that air escapes sleep In the deep , fear that I can“t breathe Will you wake me if I gasp? Or listen to the last? Let me slip into the past? And another dream will cast Maybe we“re a speck in the palm of someone“s hand A microcosmic diorama , fall to his demands Why do we blow ourselves up? Who holds the plan? Is there an ending to this Age of Man? Sometimes it feels as though we“re living in a dream We glimpse the truth in sleep , remember if you can Why do some think their mission is Gods“ To murder innocents over land A prelude to the ending of this Age of Man? Copyright 2002 Beau Phillips
“ADVENTURES IN LOVE” I love you more than anything From the first kiss how I knew you weren“t a fling Each night I“d lie in bed wakefully dreaming Of my love with whom I“d faithfully be meeting With summer came a lovely tide What would be the best day of my life I knew my life was about to become a movie The stakes so high , in love I am so truly Adventures in Love A life worth living for I don“t see the luck we“ve had taken lightly I“ve heard it only in folklore The stars aligned with all their might Heavenly sign sent my lonely heart a flight Aries and Sagittarian make love fire Carry the flair of love , we take it higher The 5 , it took us on a rambling drive Get on the freeway , travel just to feel alive Never been out of the USA Got to get a life someday The 5 , it took us on a rambling drive Get on the freeway , travel just to feel alive Never been out of the USA Got to get a life someday Copyright 2002 Beau Phillips
“ARCANE ADORE” A love so perfect Fallen from the sky A love magnetic Drawing you and I Addicted to affection Easy to see why Your kiss is my obsession So why must we lie? I don“t deny our love from view Why , oh why must we hide from a deeper truth? Boy and girl I see holding hands Why we can“t live and love free I“ll never understand Everytime I clasp your palm Sends a shiver over my soul Still it seems to pass your calm Lovelorn river floods the shore I know you only fear the shunning Coming when a love is plain But I“ll brave the rain , honey And do it all again I will fight to the death Without you , nothings left Dark hearts burnt with resent Relent ~ Will see who“s bent It“s not a political stride Love should not have to hide Copyright 2002 Beau Phillips
“SOMEDAY LAST SEPTEMBER” When you sang me to sleep I didn“t wake up for a day You let me go deep And to the sun you did pray You said tomorrow will turn , tempered by fate In other words , you said it“s too late I“m in love with the memory of Someday Last September There“s a secret you saved For a drizzling day Your clandestine lies Destiny in disarray You told me to take a different train and do another rail I went insane and saw your cohorts in hell Copyright 2001 Beau Phillips

“I WISH THAT I WAS HAPPY” Slowly sinking down the spiral Broken morning of my denial Nothing seems to fall into place There“s no place left for things to fall , fall Drifters vanish into space The rest roam endless , empty halls I wish that I was happy ~ happy as a clam Life would be so happy ~ so happy , glad , and glam I wish someone would take me in their arms and understand Then I would be so happy ~ I“d be a happy man Days are shorter dark by 5 Bite yourself hard to confirm that you“re alive A skulk of scars is so surreal A mad method we use to feel , kill Lonely evanesce in dreams Or enrapture oneself on pills Copyright 2002 Beau Phillips
“KIDNAPPED” As a little boy , suffered rapacious spells My raptor infested dreams , in time would tell Let“s flash forward fifteen surrealistic years Awoke gagged and bound and I found I was snagged and here “Where the hell am I?“ I screamed Clamped my eyes shut ~ fear of faces that have been seen I feel I“m choking and I can“t breathe Must be this dopey feeling , I believe Open my eyes , I“m coming down Must be an after hour dancing spree Then I foggily recount my surroundings Oh my God ! I“m in a laboratory A man of mad science variety is peering at me He says: “You“ll feel no pain , so much anesthesia speeding through your veins It will take a little time and then your organs are mine And on the leftovers I“ll dine“ I“m not ready to die ! I guess I“ve got nothing to lose An image of my steel toe boots Fight or Flight? Both I choose I kicked him in the eye And like a butterfly I flew and flew . I don“t think he can see me I don“t think he can see me In the dark country By starlight I am free In the dark country Divinely , I am free But where the hell am I? I“ve got to get home I“ve got to get home I“ve got to get home I“ve got to get home Copyright 2002 Beau Phillips

“SPIRITUAL SUPERHIGHWAY” I know , I know there“s more beyond What most see from day to day That is why I wrote this song ~ I think we“ve all felt Wind rushing past our faces in a draftless room There looms a trace of other elements I know , I know there“s others here They travel so fast our eyes can“t peer 3 Feet above ground rides the Spiritual Superhighway You may not hear the sound Though vibrations do abound Some found in distant peace Some in between in disbelief One day or days I guess you could say “Twas up for many suns and moons Looking through a crystal ball , I think we all fall Into another realm , Feeling so doomed There loomed a trace of other frequencies I know , I know there“s others here When depriving one“s sleep ~ Seer , the Others appear 3 Feet above ground rides the Spiritual Superhighway You may not hear the sound Though vibrations do abound Some found in distant peace Some in between in disbelief Copyright 2003 Beau Phillips
“GRAVITY BONG” You found me In the dark somewhere Listening silently In my underwear The moon is rusty and bare But soon we“ll get lost and aware And if we sing of sweet and dear dreams It will seem so dark and endearing Just shut off the lights and lie down Let“s go places you“ve never been The door to freedoms“ ajar Blowing winds from another existence Turn me on Caress the bass level up Become one Let the rhythm take you up , up , up , up , up The gate is open and here Escape into that which you hear And if we sing of sweet and dear dreams It will seem so dark and endearing Just shut off the lights and lie down Let“s go places you“ve never been The door to freedoms“ ajar Blowing winds from another existence Hearing the Man on the Moon song Takes us up like a gravity bong Hearing the Man on the Moon song Takes us up like a gravity bong Hearing the Man on the Moon song Takes us up like a gravity bong Hearing the Man on the Moon song Takes us up like a gravity bong Copyright 2005 Beau Phillips
“PARALLEL UNIVERSE” Michael produced an empty vile Whispered of it“s past inhabitants “The remnants there will make you smile Come with me , oh come with me“ Somewhere waiting for the train -- where will we be? A wayfaring poet came to me , whispered symphonies As rain , rain , rain falls against the Window Pain Sane , sane , sane -- let go of all earthly pain Wane , wax , wax , wane , laughter swoops us all away Until we ponder: Will it always be like this? Never knew what I would miss All this from Lisa“s dark kiss? Thought my best friend wanted to kill us One day I found myself running through nameless halls Seeing shapes but not knowing the essence of what they are What they are , what they are , who am I? As lines , lines , lines make corners stretching so high , high , high , high“ At the ceiling they diverge , I“ . I“m running , running , running , running from something I don“t understand I“m longing , longing , longing for a grand escape What I want , deep down I know Find the stream and let it flow Let“s drift away from the madness One morning hypnotized By the blue sky , everlasting“ The streets of LA are empty , Oh“ . The streets of LA are empty , Oh“ . The streets of LA are empty , Oh“ . The streets of LA are empty , Oh“ . Copyright 2004 Beau Phillips

“DARK DOG DAYS” Babe , before you press that knife To your sweet , misguided face I hope time answers all the ways and the times and the places in your mind You litter the vines of our dysfunctional tree With liberties taken from reality You“re fit for the sanitarium With the fits seeping from your cranium I used to find joy in the mind Oh , the kindness of your gaze But late at night I“d often find you In a homicidal rage Days of love are gone now Leave me in the Dark Dog Days It“s hot , I can“t be bothered With your hysteria Dark Dog Days I never thought I“d have to watch my back , yeah In Dark Dog Days Fear of being in a sack , throw me to the ocean Fear of being in a sack , throw me to the ocean Fear of being in a sack , throw me to the ocean Fear of being in a sack , throw me to the ocean Copyright 2006 Beau Phillips
“STARS AND NUMEROLOGY” He gave you a body A lithe and lean one Built just for the unknown pleasures waiting For your lips and such It“s cruel , cruel , cruel what the lonely world can do Enforcing a curfew But lovers do ensue despite our imminent undoing According to the stars and numerology As well as my heart which yearns with no apologies I will risk an asylumed life without a sky For this moment in the dark before we die Naked in a trance under the moonstream You intercept me via telepathy We meet , discreet , two dreamers in the street In black , we“re blue , it“s true In the darkest bliss Shadows won“t conceal my lust for you According to the stars and numerology As well as my heart which yearns with no apologies I will risk an asylumed life without a sky For this moment in the dark before we die Copyright 2006 Beau Phillips
