Shoppin’ Buyin’ Wrappin’ Cryin’
Gotta get more stuff
Gotta crowd that tree
Never have enough
Presents labeled “ME”
Gotta hit the mall
Gotta jam the store
Already got it all
But still I must have more
Gotta take my car
Hummer full of gas
Gotta park up close
Rest my flabby ass
Gotta make the sale
Gotta wrap the gift
If I’m disappointed
Gonna get so pissed
Gotta have perfection
Gotta have the best
Gotta make this Christmas
Bigger than the rest
Gotta charge more still
Gotta win the ring
Cannot quit until
I bought me everything!

Soup is good food
Dogs are good too
We all gotta eat so whatcha gonna do?
Work to pay the rent, cash is almost spent
got no money left, I ain't no president!
Dog food - need it
Dog food - eat it
Dog food - need to buy some
Dog food - cause I got none
Dog food - money hard to come by
Dog food - though I really try and try
Dog food - need it so bad I want to cry
Dog food - if I don't find some I might die
Dog food - got 4 hungry dogs and all they do is sleep
Dog food - licking their lips and choppin their chops
Gonna take a bite of me!

The Long March
08:03
|
|||
|
Pretend the birds don't sing and darkness covers everything
the candlelight may call to shapes and shadows on the wall
inside is so unkind
mistaken eyes are all you find to anchor sanity
instead of blind reality
The queen has left her throne and now you struggle on alone
to blindly find your way or lose another 13 days
to time which never waits
'till your prepared to meet your fate
the signals dance in light
the day will certain break the night
The seconds tick away as daydreams mark another day
the worn and weary thought we grab for oil behind our plot
to make a righteous sound our army's armed to soil the ground
with running crimson fools to soak the sand impose our rules

How could I hope to keep my
heart inside as I see your
Searching eyes drinking in the
hurt I hide with shallow lies?
Tell me forever
We'll be together
Say you will never
Choose a day to walk away
Tell me true if you think you
one day see you and me might
Walk as one hand in hand but
if not please just lie to me
Tell me forever
We'll be together
Say you will never
Choose a day to walk away
If we can't see each other
more than once a week forever
It must be enough for me to
live with what could never be
Tell me forever
We'll be together
Say you will never
Choose a day to walk away

This Time
05:22

Can't see straight
Can't fight fate
this time
Sad to say
I feel this way
this time
the days ahead
are filled with dread
this time
the mirror casts
a foolish glance
this time
her loving voice
leaves me no choice
this time
I have to try
to say goodbye
this time
I'll miss her face
I'll die each day
this time
the minutes pass
I'll not turn back
this time
No deeper cut
no matter what
this time
the wound may close
I'll never know
this time
I don't need her or any cure
this time
I don't need her I'm now secure
this time
I don't need her I'm not so sure
this time

Future Unknown
02:46
|
|||
|
Holes in my socks
like a damp cardboard box
stick to the earth
but what is it worth?
Heart on my sleeve
lost in the breeze
just one more thing
unhappiness brings
Soul at my side
never could hide
cloudy and blown
future unknown

The Confession
07:48
|
|||
|
They said they would test me by watery pool
where drowning proves innocent soul by their rules
Perhaps they might search for the devil-bride mark
with knives topped with crosses, with candles near dark
They sent in a priest to declare me as damned
so my blood would not stain them or poison their lands
Referred to a book blessed and sent by the pope
in the language of latin which none of them spoke
Try as they might I resisted through day and through night
Broken and done I finally give them what they want
The voice of the Goddess, she calls to me now
and comforts me silently without a sound
When put to the press I surrendered a name
I knew to be false but I lied just the same
Forsaking my honesty, pushed to the rim
of pain without death for imaginary sins
And as a reward for my desperate words
they promise to strangle me before I burn...

Arianna
06:52
|

|
Search and follow dawn
with a starlight on
Seek a broken dream
in a dark moonbeam
Blow a candle myth
in a crystal ship
and wait as dreams return to you
Sleep a day away
in a sunlit haze
Splash a stagnant pond
with a rain hat on
Listen to the wind
Vanishing within as Arianna calls to you
Watch a shadow grow
to a garden ghost
As a Sheltie snores
just beyond the door
While the autumn leaves
ride a warm South breeze and you prepare to walk away
From the swaying trees
and the punchdrunk bees
As they call your name
in the flower game
So you want to share
just how deep you care as you resign to say goodbye
Take a swipe at fate
as you contemplate...
Why things turn out the way they do.

Porcelain tears crack porcelain souls
at the gates we're
poisoning the cold light of autumn
chokes in the smoke
as time goes by drowning
and there's no China doll for you
mon amour, mon ami, mon dieu
Glass eyes reflect the same empty soul
is a life time a waste of fools gold?
Worthless miracles worth less unsold
pass on our days drowning
and there's no China doll for you
mon amour, mon ami, mon dieu
Sharp broken edges as we grow old
seems to me we are drowning
and there's no China doll for you
mon amour, mon ami, mon dieu...

Mary!
03:41
|
|||
|
Some see glowing apparitions
Some see earthquake lightning rods
Some hear secrets meant for keeping
Others, scientific frauds
in the skies and on the buildings
messages from somewhere far
seem to tell a desperate story
can you hear her quiet call?
Some see pictures in the water
Some see faces in the glass
Some hear holy words forever
Others shrug and let them pass
When you joke about the devil
do you serve unknowingly?
As the days unfold together
can you be yourself forever?
Mary!
Some may trust a scholars wisdom
Some believe all that they hear
Some search deep within their hearts
Others minds are not so clear
Some seek holy absolution
Some want an excuse for war
Some sell empty promised heavens
Others seek a golden door
Mary!
Drown me in a bath at Lourdes
Fatima a mile away
No matter the explanation
She will be there everyday
In the desert of Mojave
Photograph the setting sun
Hope for outlines of the Virgin
Look just right, you might see one
Mary!

Doctor
02:34

Doctor crawling up my back
Doctor with his bed of nails
well I always try and sometimes fail
Doctor writing me a script
Doctor write this one in blood
and I can't be sure, here comes the flood
no I can't be sure, here comes the flood
Doctor send me for a test
Doctor send for my result
Is it time to join a fitness cult?
Doctor are my chances good?
Doctor the big picture please
You can tell me straight, am I diseased?
You can tell me straight, am I deceased?

Clonazepam
05:25
|

|
And if you see from ear to ear
The sounds are not just yours to hear
They talk about me I am sure
They speak of psycotropic cures
And while you talk they jot it down
Eyes looking nervously around
They wonder if you wonder still
And now prescribe a small white pill
I call clonazepam to tell me who I am
They call our session to an end
Once you are broke you cannot mend
A handshake, pats you on the back
Give me a call if life turns black
I start to leave the lobby waits
Be patient, hope it's not too late
Like birds of prey they circle high
Await their call, begin to cry...

1000 Below
02:45
|
|||
|
In the cold sting of the night air
Fluorescents give off a sickly glare
Bare trees begging for leaves
Some stand tall over those that crawl
In the frosty breath of a winters night
The sky covers a world covered in ice
Your eyes burn and the fact that you learn
You’d sell your soul to escape from the cold
The moon laughs as it watches your plight
The stars twinkle and shine with delight
The wind sighs “What a sad sight,
One more has dropped to the will of the night”

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.
