Lost in Time 04:09
March around my jumping jet as seen often (never decrepit) — jolted freshness April might (jubilant jumper) always showing other nights distant journey from me May jabbering joiners appreciate shining offers — Nadine despises Jasmine for Mediterranean accent, all conspire to tell me I just might be lost in time all day July as seen offers nothing — does just feel magical and manically jumpy August surprises — ostriches, newts, deer, jaguar, feel many animals may jitterbug jolly September occurs nightly, displaying juniper flocks, Manchester and meadows, June bugs, jellied apples all reflect the truth I know as I just might be lost in time all day To define my place — sit all alone, losing time, losing count Rise to make me feel that — I had known, when you crossed, from feeling sad that I just might be lost in time anyway

1460 Days 04:21
And if you’re waiting for a friend to come and lead you on and onward to a sheltered sky the pieces falling down seem to obscure the circling clouds that blindly threaten rain and once again you run the empty hours into the ground To take the memory back remember faces from your lonely past and how it hurt to find your heart would always break... I will hold my breath ‘till I can bring you home....my promise to the moon I will count the hours ‘till I am sure I know, .you’ll be here with me soon If patience really was a virtue tell me what you think you would do as the witching hour pulls light out of the sky And would a higher purpose satisfy the thinking and the words you thought you once relied on leave you in the rain The thunderstorm receding leaves you cold, alone, and freezing looking for an answer to the question that remains I will hold my breath ‘till I can bring you home....my promise to the moon I will count the hours ‘till I am sure I know. .you’ll be here with me soon So if it seems this story leads you on and on to cross the riverbed of tarnished dreams and chances you have known And please remember what your Vincent once said, “We must sometimes walk amongst our enemies unarmed and stand alone.” I will hold my breath ‘till I can bring you home....my promise to the moon I will count the hours ‘till I am sure I know. .you’ll be here with me soon

We played the future game watching the hours as they drained into nothing this cool summer’s eve But then away I looked turned my attention to books and the promise they held out to me You wanted to know, you could ask me again and we’ll share in the knowledge as one But if the ocean said the river is dead unto me as it flows round & round to the sea I sat and waited while Indian summer slipped by from the waves of the pool to the sea But sometimes out of the corner of my tearful eye I can see her still calling to me You wanted to know, you could ask me again and we’ll share in the knowledge as one But if the ocean said the river is dead unto me as it flows round & round to the sea Counting, waiting, listening ‘till the hate has evaporated Running, falling, knowing that your idolatry conceals an often hidden view deep inside of you I dance to welcome the first rain of autumn today as she rings in the change that shall be For as the heat of the summertime yields to the fall all shall welcome the season to heal You wanted to know, you could ask me again and we’ll share in the knowledge as one But if the ocean said the river is dead unto me as it flows round & round to the sea Counting, waiting, listening ‘till the hate has evaporated Running, falling, knowing that your idolatry conceals an often hidden view deep inside of you

Middle 03:36
in a middle of a room stands a suicide sniffing a Paper rose smiling to a self "somewhere it is Spring and sometimes people are in real:imagine somewhere real flowers,but I can't imagine real flowers for if I could,they would somehow not Be real" (so he smiles smiling)"but I will not everywhere be real to you in a moment" The is blond with small hands "& everything is easier than I had guessed everything would be;even remembering the way who looked at whom first,anyhow dancing" (a moon swims out of a cloud a clock strikes midnight a finger pulls a trigger a bird flies into a mirror) Words: ee cummings - 1931

Run inside a circle—square, Run until you taste the air Laughing ‘till the breezes bring you back to earth again Full moon madness take control, choose the path to take me home I don’t want to see until there is no choice for me Until my sight became a raving I saw no use in contemplating Coloured glass a mirror test, hopeless dreams are always best Starry eyed accomplishments define a course of light Stack and tracks of racing wigs out to top the other pigs I can see a bigger problem hungry, waiting in the wings Until the wilderness was swallowed I still believed the earth was hollow I can sense it getting worse questions are divided first Answers seem to form from spiders spinning in the wind To the west and to the east who will sacrifice the least? Wearing robes the insect knows the chance is none too close And if I dare to look too closely I see the pattern shifting slowly Digging at the surface slate Yesterday will be too late Time has once again confirmed my steam roll point of view If we reach the gathering Soul—intact. . .Soul—searching I might count the angels dancing on a snowflake pin tonight I could begin to try and show you But left with words, condemned to fail truth

La Femme 04:17
Solomon how did you like the desert? “Like a friend who can't wait for the company to leave” Seems to me that alone we should count on ocean gray, green and duck egg blue as you know it French he said, “How could you really tell me how you knew I was locked as a pendulum tick-tock?” Hold the thought as if your life depended on the gray it don't matter, much better to be... Locked in a room with Kathryn the Great, Cleopatra, and Lizzy Borden As the last of the indigo snakes takes a minute to answer questions Diver down never found pilgrims gather round the fire Crying at the sight, smiling in the night Which witch hunt were you on, torches burn until the dawn in the modern day, Mormon’s lead the way A stinging in your neck you'd better try a tourniquet or a life of pills bound to keep you ill Doctor Spock, must I take my clothing off? It seems to me that I'd really really rather be... Locked in a room with Eva Braun, Joan of Arc, and Yoko Ono As the Daughters of Agamemnon try in vain to stay incognito When the north sky steals the dawn, sad eyed Romeo hums this song “Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be, someone stole the other half of me. Oh I believe in yesterday” Locked in a room with Marie Antoinette, Diana Ross, and Indira Gandhi As the moon escaped to the West and dared the sky, "try to come and find me try to come and find me try to come and find me"

Mulder 05:25
Shadows run a straight line to the end of the track Hidden meanings screaming like the switchblade in your back Not me, Easy Catch the kettle whistling with a fire on high Focus your attention on the saucer in the sky Nowhere, not there Sink into an ocean at the magnetic pole Does Atlantis open up to swallow you whole Try to send a word back to society up above Would they still believe you if they knew what you’re thinking of? Manufactured bones to prove your theory is true Holding on the telephone approaching waterloo Waiting, plaything See a shooting star against a lunar eclipse Log a journal entry of your own apocalypse Not now, no how Counting cloud formations in a few empty shells Waiting ‘till a clearance on the airwave to tell The world won’t believe the words that you say are true You only hope the CIA won’t kill you as you leak out Project Blue Help me out, Spooky Men in black & visitors from deep outer space I ain’t never seen ‘em as a threat to the human race And you? Breakthrough Some say that Bermuda marks a triad of fear All I know is somethin’s been going down for many years No crash, no past Wondering how many times you have to be seen Before the doubting scientists will finally believe I think it strange that members of my family tree Have been on ice for 30 years at Arizona Hangar 18! The truth is out there...

Exile from garden by the sea — I’m —Sick & lonely —Sick & lost too None left to count apart from me — I’m... Wish for a last day miracle — I’m... Over the 2nd spectacle — I’m... Walking toward a hangman noose I think a coil of rope comes loose I take no hood, I close my eyes the trap door breaks to my surprise A muddy slog pit breaks my fall — I’m... A fallen angel guides my star — I’m... Getting really sick of all this burning dry—eye summer smog dye really wish for sheets of rain to fuse and cauterize my brain What do you have to say to make amends to make your senses jump into a barrel shoot unbearable as yesterday How can I truly say I trust your misplaced good intentions as if by your well rehearsed command you sweep away my pain Condemnation compensation — I’m —Sick & lonely —Sick & lost too Tracked by the firing line — I’m... Losing my focus every day — I’m... Rush to a Stern figure to pray — I’m... Oh no, here we go again running out of words to send random thoughts for random times I ran aground of my own mind A last message to send — a fractured thought before I end the beautiful have poked my eyes, refused to laugh (I can’t see why) What do you have to say to make amends to make your senses jump into a barrel shoot unbearable as yesterday How can I truly say I trust your misplaced good intentions as if by your well rehearsed command you sweep away my pain...

Can you really tell what time it is? Can you tell if it’s a month ago? Do you walk into a yesterday? Have you lost a today? Have you tried to be an honest man? Have you lied about the things you can? Make a mountain of your ice and hate... Fragile Today Are you sorry what you gave away? Can you choose to wait ‘till yesterday tomorrow is the one to pay!

Mass Debate 03:37
Indivisibility never did define a country Seeking its’ identity from emerging nations Pyramid insanity stamped upon our currency makes us worth that extra length in nonsense is strength! I wonder who can lie the best? So we fight for children’s’ minds with any slogan we can find making up what sounds the best lining up our latest conquest Pledge allegiance can’t you see? I’ll whore you ‘till you vote for me! Party time for those who find sycophants control their mind! Party time for those who find three piece suits control their mind!

When the answer you give causes 20 more questions to live and the tide that once washed it away leaves you lost and confused every day What can you do when that feeling finds you? Where can you stay to be free from the pain? Who can you call when you’re losing it all? When all hope takes a leave and the dark becomes all you can see as the pit you walk calls out your name what’s the point of still playing this game? When you know it’s around just a thought you have brings you way down Every stranger you see hurts your eyes, please stop looking at me When decisions are played and you’re scared of mistakes you could make Don’t come back to today what you’ve done can’t be changed anyway When you get what you want but can’t smile and feel you’re done As your goals become truth better find a new way to be you What can you do when that feeling finds you? Where can you stay to be free from the pain? Who can you call when you’re losing it all?

Spy Game 04:24
Moon at 11, tide at 1:10 Ticket to nowhere, passport of lies Move in a jet set, devil—may—care Playing a spy game, wink of an eye Deep undercover, ministry mole Under disguise identity crisis Hiding allegiance could save your life Code blue for trouble, red means abort Synchronize watches, second hand lies Safe house addresses — secretive knock Tell me the pass word, say no surprise Hidden revolvers, silencers speak Deep throats & trench coats meeting in subways haunting your dreams invading your nights Trust in no contact, making no friends Second hand living, shadow thick life Keep one eye open, sleep when you can Ducking for cover, waiting for light Taking a powder, tapping a line Never retires no golden watches You’ll never see a rest home for spies!
13.
One more communication hurled at me I’ve had enough One more opinion penetrates my ear I’m raped by information fear Another visual spectacle of naked body parts Conniving yet convincing purchases which come up short The box pretends to know me If I could I’d throw it... out of bounds and out of sight and out of time lets start a war Lets blast some fucking Arabs build morale up back at home I sometimes wonder why I’m here instead of ducking bombs But is it really happening? Which camera can I trust? To be the news not watch it If I could I’d pull the plug.

Rape.com 02:27
They say the planet’s come together now as one And we connect ourselves through twisted wire guns No longer teletyping...Columbine’s next door Our information age has made us data whores With smiling faces we check stock and count our worth Give up our planet’s rights for options granted mirth And as the days countdown 2000 looms ahead But we won’t look inside ‘cause we’re already dead hate.com escape.com too late.com our fate.com rape.com We’re rape.com 69 channels on TV to bring you hell As Aryan brother sites link porno URL’s With dollar driven choices how can you stay sane? Just fuck that internet, let music save your brain hate.com escape.com oh great.com berate.com too late.com our fate.com Lactate.com state.com rape.com We’re rape.com.

Oh ya I hate my neighbor he plays horseshoes & talks all night... ya I hate my neighbor he drinks beer till he’s outta sight... Oh ya I hate my neighbor he rents to dirt to feel bright... hungover in the morning pretends to work in the yard acts like he owns the neighborhood where else can they park their cars? Oh ya I hate my neighbor he gets stoned and thinks he’s cool Oh ya I hate my neighbor he’s a clueless confounded fool the 1st year he blamed the white jocks the 2nd the mexican guys now this year he’s got black room mates it’s their fault - is that a surprise? Oh ya I hate my neighbor he digs lite jazz his senses numb Oh ya I hate my neighbor he’s just a fucked up lazy bum Keeps a fridge outside and stocks it full of beer and when he gets too drunk to think he pours them down his ears Oh ya I hate my neighbor too bad that drinking beer is not a paying job he’d be a fucking millionaire instead of a wasted slob Oh ya I hate my neighbor vacuums one welcome mat and rests Oh ya I hate my neighbor I wish he’d drink himself to death!

Lost alone with none to share reality On my own adrift of frozen fantasy Sights of home call faintly through my misery I used to be the one who wanted no one But as the time unfolds I'm uncertain Who I've become, I can't relate to anyone My secrets stay distant as the winter sun I listen, but of my heart reveal none I thought futility was stalking me How could anyone relate to me? And of the few who hold a key One I pay, the other once had married me Of the rest, I try but fail miserably What to do? This life I lead is drowning me Close my eyes, escape into my world of sleep...

about

Mutiny in Jonestown Washington

Influenced by classic 70's progressive rock bands like King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator & Genesis - along with late 60's psychedelia from The Beatles, Procol Harum & Pink Floyd (with a little 70's Black Sabbath thrown in for good measure), Mutiny in Jonestown has always sought to take these influences and synthesize them into something new.

The band has released 42 albums since 1987.
