Think that I...
06:17
|
|||
|
Think that I might find me an astronaut
and ask him why did he even
Try to leave knowing he must return
to earth, to silence, to sickness
Crack in the glass is only an anecdote
Break in the past has only one antidote
Snake in the grass is only a memory
Think that I might find me a violin
and screech and scrape as I practice
Learning how to make a soothing sound
but always wondering what I
Should next do perfecting a different tune
but they have all been played before
Crack in the glass is only an anecdote
Break in the past has only one antidote
Snake in the grass is only a memory
Think that I might find me a cloudy sky
and rest beneath it's shelter
Sleeping deep and tripping on platform blues
in well worn faded
Shoes that march and match a narrow path
of ash and sand predicting
Waves of sound that hollow the underground
to caves and caverns and laughter
Crack in the glass is only an anecdote
Break in the past has only one antidote
Snake in the grass is only a memory

Autumn
05:09
|
|||
|
Sun rise in the East, Sun set in the West
the North will never know, why South has come out blessed
An ancient visitor has yet returned it seems
On clouds of starry mist the Autumn reigns supreme
The ocean rises up while valleys fill and fass
the plains become a swamp, stampeding animals
Which way to go away the answer never clear
I'll think until the dawn but won't get any nearer
I sit, October heat, with flashing lights of black
I only try to sleep but always make it back
A yellow jumping bird has flashed onto the grass
and though it's yesterday and still it's wings will flap
The dogs will sleep until another walks on by
then chaos breaks and runs as if to slowly fly
A ship of crystal cold will one day land again
and I can trade my sweat for hooded sweatshirts then

Doctor

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?

Can You...
03:00
|
|||
|
Can you see as the sun shines
Can you see as the rain blinds
All you see left of me
Can you hear as the clouds shine
Can you hear all that is mine
Left to be all of me
Can you be as the winds blow
Can you be lit from below
Never words, never heard, never learn
Can you glow as the earth cracks
Can you glow diamonding back
Lost and cold all alone
Can you freeze as the heat grows
Can you freeze taken by snow
Left to ice, dust and rice, dying twice

Join In
03:48
|
|||
|
I find my mind looking back attacks
the sea of me it looks too good
to be for me
The noise of boys, the pearls of girls
Baby crazy, party artsy
too much too touch
We climb our time too tall to fall
The book of rooks, standing, demanding
We hear next year
I say we may join in again

As Rudolph sets the pace to win this reindeer race
But Santa, fat old git, is having none of it
While elves in party hats are getting much too fat
Christmas time
Christmas rhyme
Icycles come and go as snow balls fight below
The carols fill the air with singers who don't care
Which notes are right or wrong? It's still a Christmas song
Well I can hardly tell if I'm just meaning well
Christmas time
Christmas rhyme
It rained on Christmas day no one went out to play
The fire log inside made reindeer run and hide
But Santa Claus still came with presents just the same
and now the cookies gone it's still a Christmas song
Christmas time
Christmas rhyme

Can Rover Take Over?
04:25
|
|||
|
a half breed
a full Swede
can get on
where you're from
if you rate
above hate
then you've passed
through green grass
but sitting
and listening
antennae
to pick up
a song done
a new drum
with pig soup
you regroup
Can Rover take over and try once again?
to bust cold
while not old
as short hairs
make aware
your past speed
and misdeeds
lead the way
past today
Can Rover take over and try once again?

I Know It
05:37
|

|
And now it seems the time has come again as if the timing never counted in
Awake and take the time into your hands
As we have watched it roll and pass
I know it - I know it - I know it

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

Palindrome
04:38
|

|
Welcome to the palace of the palindrome
Where monitors are molded to the metronome
and souls are packed in boxes fill with styrofoam
Welcome to the garden of the palindrome
Where trees and vines conspire keeping you alone
a slight misstep will stumble you to far from home

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.
