The Grand Patchwork

 

"Speaking with music, singing with colour

flame from the beginning of Eternity All

Spark of the flame art thou, oh my Children, 

burning with colour and living with music.

List[en] to the voice and thou shalt be free"  Hermes Trismegistus in the Emerald Tablet.

 

 

V1. Suit on up, but don’t show your hand.

Gonna learn to make spontaneous plans.

Gonna beat on down, that open road;

Or wherever the river may flow.

 

Chorus

But read the fine print. Conditions may apply.

Proceed with caution, viewer discretion advised.

 

V2. Well I’m stepping out, right foot first.

Gonna see what life is really worth.

Gonna learn to dance; cut a rug

Wherever the rhythm may tug.

 

Chorus

Bridge

And it feels so real and it feels so real.

 

V3. Well I’m waking up from that sleep.

I’m reaching down to the waters deep.

Gonna pull on out fish from that lake.

Gonna give as much as I think I can take.

               Nov. 13/2005

 

V1. When I think about your reason, baby; it’s teasing my brain.

       When I think about you pleasing’ me babe it drives me insane.

        An you’re all about the squeezing babe, it’s season I’m game.

        And they’re all the same….. Except for you.

 

V2.  I’ve seen your inside you’ve got nothing to hide.

        I could ride your wave from morning to night.

        You’re not like the others always high on their pride

      And they get off my ride… Except for you.

 

Chorus: And they all play the stupid game and they all got someone else to blame

              And they all play the stupid game…Except for you.

 

Bridge --

 

V3. It seems we’re cut from the same kind of sheet.

       It’s so sweet when you’re keeping the beat.

       You’re not like the others, trying to take my seat

      And they just can’t compete…Except for you.

 

Woah oh oh except for you, oh oh oh!!! Oh!!! Oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

Accept 4 U!

 

 

V1. The enemy is my inner me, or so I'm told
but what if I like to go with the flow, and just watch it unfold?
But can I guide it my way, can I, drive it on the highway?
Can I take the right exit and not get a ticket?

V2. Is truth something inside or is it up in the sky?
Or is it something that I gotta see with my own two eyes?
But what I see is constructed and preconceived and socialized.

 

Chorus
Where the truth lies Where the truth lies

v3. Do I follow along with conformity or do I wonder off internally
Where emotion and reason are valued equally?
But I live in a prison called reality.

 

Chorus
Where the truth lies Where the truth lies Where the truth lies
Where the truth lies Where the truth lies Where the truth lies

Where the truth lies Where the truth lies It's a real disguise.

V1. There once was a fable unable to carry the load stone.

There once was a cable that buckled and couldn’t keep hold.

But you know that load isn’t merely for one.

How many light bulbs to screw in the sun? And we go on.

 

V2. A triple rule tests all your scruples that step in your path.

If you know the answers then why do you bother to ask?

But you know all that glitters it isn’t just gold.

What kind of cards determine your fold. That’s how we roll.

 

Break

 

V3. There once was a story notorious for being quite old.

And throughout the ages the pages of the story are told.

But you know the forces you fight are your own.

One just might be the cornerstone that built your home.

V1. I feel like something wonderful is going to happen tonight.

I know you are a long shot, but I’m in your sights.

An adventure perhaps; where time just elapses.

Stuck in real thing, that never collapses.

 

Chorus

And I will bring down the moon. Oh, just for you.

Right now, maybe soon; it will come true. It will arrive.

 

V2. The raspberries in my garden aren’t as sweet as you.

You always get my heart a-poundin, but I’ll make dew.

 

 Chorus

 

V3. The grapes are in the winepress; they’ll ferment in time.

Waiting for you is such a fine wine.

 

Chorus x2

                 Out of the Cave     F#m  Asus2  F#m   A

V1. There is something inside of me, and something outside of me;

       It’s something you taught me a symbiotic dichotomy.

       It’s so damn chaotic, that I’m shocked I'm not crazy.

 

V2. There is something to my left, and something to my right.

       And they do nothing but fight, fight…fight.

       Right from the start they parted ways.

 

Chorus: But, there’s light at the end of the tunnel and my eyes will hurt from its rays.

            Left and right with no sign of rebuttal, cuz there’s freedom outside the cave.

 

V3. There’s something that’s mental and something emotional;

       A potion will focus them together as one.

       At the most we’ll be standing tall, at the least we’ll just fall…again.

 

Chorus: And there’s light at the end of the tunnel and my eyes will hurt from its rays.

            Left and right with no sign of rebuttal, cuz there’s freedom outside the cave.

Bridge: dee doe doe doe, doe doe dee doe dee doe doe; dee doe doe doe; doe doe

deedoe dee doe doe, dee doe doe doe doe doe dee doe dee doe doe   ohhhhhhhhhhhh… ;)

v4.  At the end of the microscope, begins the telescope.

       The whole grand scope to the Great Cosmic…Joke,

       But, there’s still hope you see cuz the opposites are complementary.

       Cuz, there’s light at the end of the tunnel and my eyes will hurt from its rays.

          Left and right with no sign of rebuttal cuz there’s freedom outside the cave.

Oh, it’s been a long time my friend. Long time, been a long time.

Got your angels in my pocket. Fallen angels fallen angels. Fallen angels fallen angel.

Never wanted Malibu Barbie.

Never want to watch your damn TV, so welcome to my party...

Never wanted none of your added heat.

Don't want to eat my meat, so eat up and be hearty...without me.

My thoughts don't come in a preformed patty

And I'll take that to my grave.

Don't wanna be no f***ing sheep, or live like a sardine.

v1. Why do you run away when things get scary?

Oh it’s so sad to see that you don’t know yourself, let alone know me.

 

v2. Why do you push away, give yourself head all day?

Oh it’s so sad to see that you think you’re the root, when you’re the whole tree?

 

Chorus

Nice try Charlie

See you next round

Step right up, double or nothing.

 

v3. Why do you act this way?

Dominate and control your prey?

It’s so sad to see that you think you’re god, when you’re just a beast.

 

Oh baby, it’s so hard to break your wall

And honey, you ain’t got it all; no not at all.

 

v4. Why do you walk away when I’ve got things to say?

       So, what’s wrong with showing feelings?

       Can you get over unnecessary pride?

       Nothing like a chuckle to break the ice.

       The world needs a positive view;

        Turn the intelligent into the wise,

 Chorus: And it’s alright to share a tear; over a couple beer.

 V4. Well, it’s alright to feel weakened;

       Can’t just feel one way all the time.

       Why were we taught to suppress;

        These things nature’s given us to define?

 Chorus And it’s alright to share a beer, over a couple beer.
