And your kids and your wife
And your little dog too Who’s who
Tell good news I’m hatched high under blood red sky
From a fountain
Time from space is a single clock face
Is a’ counting And I’m undermined
Though my heart’s refined
And I’ll take your place
Though you take the bait Who’s who
Tell good news I’m not a prophet
I’m just an artful dodger
I must be off my rocker
Yes, I’ve been wrong before
I see a city of angels
Crawling for the door Be released Free to be… I’m not a prophet
I’m just a weary watcher
I may be off my rocker
Yes, I’ve been wrong before
I see a city strangled
Clutching a heart, star-spangled
Falling apart, entangled
In all she should abhor
Our Lady Queen of Angels
What’s our portion for? http://www.system-kid.com/system_kid/Music/F09A5348-58BB-4109-A46D-F6DD818F4071.html http://www.system-kid.com/system_kid/Music/F09A5348-58BB-4109-A46D-F6DD818F4071.html Wed, 5 Jan 2005 16:32:18 -0800 00:02:16 Take me back Where you got me from My receipt will pull The purchase sum The pound, lost and found Boys town The runaround No, never mind
I’ll bond, I’ll play
I changed my mind
I wanna stay
I’ll even pay
I’ll even pay I get sorry, sorry, sorry
I get sorry up to my knees
I’ve been stung a thousand times
By all apologies
I get spun more
Galore
Rotating door
Who’d you trade me for? May you be blessed
And increase
In need to hold
To lease
And get sold Am I too bold
To want for me
A deal sealed
Security
A bounty I get sorry… I play with spiders
And fire
And African bees
Is it life or death
That I tease I get sorry… http://www.system-kid.com/system_kid/Music/A8D17675-8A07-4D1B-A004-DDABB2B331D7.html http://www.system-kid.com/system_kid/Music/A8D17675-8A07-4D1B-A004-DDABB2B331D7.html Tue, 4 Jan 2005 16:27:53 -0800 00:02:14 First thing in the morning I’m drawn to you Then without warning You lower me back into Wanderlust
Drawing us
To the bottom of the barrel
Where I’m First thing in the morning
I’m drawn to you
Then without warning
Oh, glory
You lower me back into Wanderlust
Drawing us
To the bottom of the barrel
Where I’m
A ball of fear How do you tame the wanderlust
How do you break the wildest horse
How do you wait in patient love
How do you stay the course When I was a boy
The air was my water
I’d thrust off the ground
And float
I was a boy helicopter til’ Wanderlust
Stole my thrust
Now I’m grounded
Dumbfounded
I’m hounded How do you tame the wanderlust
How do you break the wildest horse
How do you wait in patient love
How do you stay the course I never took my chance at all
I placed my bet and stalled
I’d be the death of a salesman
I’d be the fly on the wall
I never took my chance at all You know I’d be a better gambler
Than the loser that I’ve been
I’d love to see you win How do you tame the wanderlust
How do you break the wildest horse
How do you wait in patient love
How do you stay the course
Oh how do you stay the course
In the morning
When I’m drawn to you http://www.system-kid.com/system_kid/Music/6D481383-DDC0-41D0-AB3F-0CBB16EBDF38.html http://www.system-kid.com/system_kid/Music/6D481383-DDC0-41D0-AB3F-0CBB16EBDF38.html Mon, 3 Jan 2005 16:24:37 -0800 00:02:02 There was snow and talk about man’s best friend And they warned you but you came around in the end And now, now that our friends have gone You and me carry on You and me carry on There was a death wish and a casualty
And a hydrant dedicated to my memory
And now, now that our friends have gone
You and me carry on
You and me carry on Under African skies
Throughout our Hollywood nights
You and me carry on Why do you stop to consider me
Why do you let me affect you
Why don’t you just let me go hurt myself
Don’t you know that I still would respect you There was a torrent, carpet and power chords
A four-day flood from the Lord
A family bent for better and more
With love at the core
Love at the core You fit here in the innocent space
We performed for fate and the Streamside Place
The three of us part for new memories now
But the heart is a house
Where the blinds can see out To the island and back
For a fast-food snack
You and me attack Why do you stop to consider me
Why do you let me affect you
Why don’t you just let me go hurt myself
Don’t you know that I still would respect you 
Why do you give me the satisfaction
Why do you bring me the joy
You should just hold a grudge
Never budge and be over me
And on to another weird boy http://www.system-kid.com/system_kid/Music/30E89CD3-591A-40DB-9D9D-2541EB1A3144.html http://www.system-kid.com/system_kid/Music/30E89CD3-591A-40DB-9D9D-2541EB1A3144.html Sun, 2 Jan 2005 16:19:31 -0800 00:01:50 They call you a fairy Cuz you’re different and that’s your disease What if you sprouted wings and flew away Do you think they’d be pleased? Your pretty pink dust Would probably burn out their eyes But in the end boy you know You’d rather just wear your disguise Love the least of these and you
You love me They call you easy, girl
So easy like you come for free
But you’ve paid so dearly for your beauty
How can that be?
Betrayed by the best of them
Taken but nobody asked
So you seize the controls
You lay back and you fasten your mask Love the least of these and you
You love me Chorus:
Home-made barricade
Building on what was blown away
You will build up
You will reconstruct
You will be ok
What is loved is saved They never hurt you
Never left you and they never lied
Nor do they notice
That you’re gradually dying inside
And to protect you from the trouble
Of the world outside
They did erect a glass bubble
Then they shut you in and showed you how to hide Love the least of these and you
You love me (chorus) They call you a demon
Disillusioned, a less evolved beast
Cuz you look to the darkness
And the depths for your sources of peace
Perhaps you could reach up your hand
And snuff out the sun
Then you could blend into the blackness
While the rest of the world comes undone Love the least of these and you
You love me (chorus) http://www.system-kid.com/system_kid/Music/ADDCBCBA-31E7-4FCF-8025-254C8BA9B2B1.html http://www.system-kid.com/system_kid/Music/ADDCBCBA-31E7-4FCF-8025-254C8BA9B2B1.html Sat, 1 Jan 2005 16:00:05 -0800 00:01:50 A rolling inferno laps at the core Echoes the absolute magnitude of its source Covers the canyon of the great divorce A network of neurons perched at the helm
Enmeshed in muscle empowered overwhelmed
Mapping the margins of another realm At the border combat ensues
Restoring stasis when lesser majors choose
Reconciling the vile things they do Where the ocean meets the sand
The steady applause of powerful hands
The careful collapse of a confident stand
Upon a bed of 
Time to dance and the need for touch
The gift of a life of a child that you love, like Blue Blazes
Pumping hotter than the heart in my chest is
Ooh it amazes me When the rhythm circles in threes
Winding a plot across the edge everlastingly
There the waiting will wait at the seam
The seam between Where and when and “Please God, never again”
This is the beat, it’s the street, it’s the sound of the ground
That pounds upon my feet like Blue Blazes… So vast
So steadfast
So constant Blue Blazes… So vast
So steadfast
So constant
So endless http://www.system-kid.com/system_kid/Music/68F88914-1AEE-4D2F-A00D-8B53E158D3CC.html http://www.system-kid.com/system_kid/Music/68F88914-1AEE-4D2F-A00D-8B53E158D3CC.html Wed, 1 Feb 2006 10:49:23 -0800 00:01:02 Good morning Rome Have you been sleeping alone? Wake up, it’s time to go Oz, did you get lost? Was it intoxicatingly awesome to behold Emerald and gold? You and I found out at Carnival That the small world’s electric after all In this sub- urban Bourbon, Mardi Gras We all fall down We were only roaming Pleasure Island Rage, 54, Bangkok, Thailand This land is your land This land is mine Good morning Rome Last call, closing time Does absinthe make the heart grow fonder Or does my heart break Because my mind wanders away And I think its gonna be a long long time Beneath your beauty, under your youth (don’t you know I love you, can’t you hear me call?) The word from my mouth ignites some smoldering truth (don’t you know I’m concrete in your city walls) Don’t bring in your funk, your noise, your news (I can lift you up or I can hold you down) Don’t mix it up on the ones and the twos (I can shut you in I can pull you out) Take your trial, live forever (don’t you know I love you?) Here’s an olive branch (can’t you hear me call?) Somewhere over the rainbow (don’t you know I’m concrete in your city walls?) The ark will land (come home) And into good hands the pain goes (where the pain goes, oh the pain goes) Goodbye Amsterdam Goodnight Nocturnal Wonderland Ibiza, up with the dawn Rise and shine Babylon Good morning Rome Come home http://www.system-kid.com/system_kid/Music/D77B9264-5AA2-4A67-BAE4-961F361256A1.html http://www.system-kid.com/system_kid/Music/D77B9264-5AA2-4A67-BAE4-961F361256A1.html Thu, 2 Feb 2006 10:49:44 -0800 00:01:38 Your blowing bubbles and birthday candles Dismantles me part by part Your riding rails and drawing straws Impales me hard I’m caught in a phone booth on the beach You reach for your gun Do I watch or run Will someone call 911 please You were everything I wanted and more Oh and everything was magic But more went overboard You beat your children for needing you Still you hunger to conceive A brand new pup might cuddle up But he won’t be enough for your greed I’m caught in a phone booth on the beach You reach for your gun Do I watch or run Will someone call 911 please You were everything they needed and more Oh and everything was magic But more went overboard I hate the way that you lie to me But I love you anyway Because you tell me Every little thing is gonna be o.k.
