SINGING SAINTS
THROUGHOUT HISTORY
HAVE HAD A POWERFUL
INFLUENCE ON ME

AS SHINING EXAMPLES OF
WHAT CAN BE DONE BY ONE
WHO LIVES POWERFULLY

YES
SAINTLY SPIRITS
INSPIRE ME
TO LIVE MORE INFLUENTIALLY
TO GUIDE THE COURSE OF HISTORY
I KNOW THEY'RE UP THERE
WATCHING ME

TO ALL YOU SAINTS
I'D LIKE TO SAY
SOMEDAY I MAY TRY IT YOUR WAY
MAYBE I'LL BECOME ONE OF YOU
FOR I'M A SUPER SPIRIT TOO

BUT FOR NOW
I'D RATHER BE ME
EXPERIENCING EVERYTHING
I CAN BE
UNDER THE SUN
LIVING FREE
TOUCHING ALL
WE CAN SEE

YES
IF THE DECISION'S UP TO ME
I'LL USE MY SUPERPOWERS HERE
IN THIS PARADISE PLAYGROUND WORLD
UNTIL THE SAINTS COME MARCHING IN
MAKING LOVE WITH ANOTHER GIRL
 
 
 
 

51

 
SUPER SPIRITS
ARE ALL AROUND
FILLING MY HEAD WITH
HEAVENLY SOUNDS

SINGING SPIRITS IN MY MIND
FILL MY HEAD WITH NONSENSE
SOME OF THE TIME

TELLING ME WHAT TO THINK AND DO
WHO TO LOVE AND WHO TO SCREW
WHO TO HELP AND WHO TO HURT
WHEN TO ARGUE
WHEN TO FLIRT

WHO ARE THE VOICES INSIDE OF ME
BELONGING TO FACES I CAN'T SEE

MAYBE CHILDREN WANTING TO BE BORN
WITH ME AS THEIR FATHER

MOTHERS MAY MOURN
WHEN I LEAVE THE FAMILY BEHIND
TO TRAVEL THE WORLD ONE MORE TIME

LOOKING BACK
I'M NOT AFRAID
FOR THE CHILDREN
I HAVE MADE

MY CHILDREN ARE SUPER SPIRITS TOO
JUST LIKE ME AND THEIR MOTHERS
I KNEW WHAT I WAS DOING THEN
MORE THAN MANY OTHERS

FATHERS OF FAMILIES
SOMETIMES FEEL OBLIGED
TYING THEMSELVES TO
A PREGNANT BRIDE

MARRIAGE IS FINE FOR NORMAL FOLK
WHO ENJOY LIVING WITH A PERMANENT YOLK &
LEGALLY BINDING SEPARATION CONTRACTS
WHILE ALL I ASK IS TO LOOK AT THE FACTS

A SUPER SPIRITED
CHILD INSIDE OF ME
IS CRYING OUT TO BE SET FREE
IT WANTS ME AS ITS FATHER TOO
AND AS FOR A MOTHER
ANY MOTHER WILL DO
AS LONG AS SHE'S
A SUPER SPIRIT
TOO
 
 
 
 

52

 
BODIES
MOVING
IN THE NIGHT
SEXERCISING IN FULL FLIGHT
TEMPERATURE CLIMBING
EUPHORIA RISING
ASTROTRAVELLING
BEYOND THE HORIZON

I KNOW A WOMAN
WHO MAKES LOVE
WITH HER WHOLE BODY
RIGHT DOWN TO HER TOES
SHE ORGASMS SO LOUD
EVERYONE KNOWS

WHEN THAT LADY COMES
I GO OFF MY ROCKER
BECAUSE EVERY TIME
WE COME TOGETHER

AH SEX
LOVING SEX
THE GODHEAD FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH
THE SPIRITUAL CROWN
OUR COSMIC TRUTH

ORGASMIC
EXCHANGES OF ENERGY
BETWEEN A MAN AND WOMAN
IS NOT A FANTASY
FOR WE LOVED EACH OTHER
SO MUCH
WE CAME TOGETHER
EVERY TIME WE TOUCHED
ACHIEVING BALANCE AND HARMONY
IN EVERY WHETHER

I WONDER WHERE
SHE'S LIVING THIS YEAR
VANCOUVER I HEAR OR
MAYBE CALIFORNIA
 
 
 
 

53

 
I WISH I KNEW
WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
WHY I'M FILLED
WITH FEAR AND DOUBT
WHY CAN'T I DO
WHAT I WANT TO DO &
SUMMON THE COURAGE
TO TELEPHONE YOU

IS SOMETHING TERRIBLY
WRONG WITH MY MIND
WE'VE TALKED TOGETHER
TWO OR THREE TIMES
YET I FEEL INSECURITY
FOR SOME REASON
YOU THREATEN ME

I DON'T WANT TO FEEL THIS WAY
I WANT TO CALL YOU UP AND SAY
HEY YA BABE, IT'S ME ON THE LINE
LET`S GET TOGETHER IF YOU DON'T MIND

BUT I'M AFRAID YOU MIGHT SAY
I CAN'T TALK WITH YOU TODAY
PERHAPS WE'LL MEET SOMETIME IN A BAR
LIFE IS TOUGH WHEN YOU LOVE
A STAR
 
 
 
 

54

 
SHE DOESN'T WANT
TO EXPERIENCE ME
DOESN'T WANT TO BE SET FREE
OF HER SOAP OPERA ATTITUDES &
IDEALISTICALLY ROMANTIC MOODS

ROMANTIC ATTITUDES ARE HALF FUCKED UP
DRINKING FROM A LOVING CUP
IS FUN FOR A WHILE BUT THERE'S A LIMIT
EXCESSIVE ANYTHING CAN KILL IT

EXCESS OF ROMANCE FEELS ALL RIGHT
FOR THE FIRST FEW MONTHS EVERY NIGHT
BUT IT'S ALL SO CUTE AND RATIONAL
FOR SOMEONE WHO'S PASSIONATELY EMOTIONAL

OCCASIONALLY I LIKE TO FIGHT
YELLING LOUD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
TEMPERS FLARING, PASSIONS BOILING
UNTIL WE HIT EACH OTHER WHILE ENJOYING
THE RUSHING FLOW OF ADRENALIN

I'M STRUGGLING AS I CARRY YOU IN
TO THE BEDROOM WHERE
I TEAR OFF YOUR CLOTHES
AND JUMP ON YOU WHILE
DODGING YOUR BLOWS

EVENTUALLY WE BOTH CALM DOWN
CHANGING FROM OUR ANGRY SOUNDS
TO GURGLES OF DELIGHT AND GLEE
UNTIL AT LAST WE'RE FINALLY FREE
OF YOUR LOVINGLY LIMITING ROMANTIC MIND

ACHIEVING TOGETHERNESS OVER TIME
CLIMBING BEYOND LOVE TO ECSTASY
WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME
FLYING WITH ME
 
 
 
 

55

 
ALL SHE WANTS
TO DO IS TALK
I'M TIRED OF TALKING
I'D RATHER MAKE LOVE

IF ONLY SHE WOULD FOLLOW MY LEAD
AND TRY IT MY WAY ONCE
I COULD SHOW HER A THING OR TWO
I'M NO DUNCE
I'VE TRAVELLED THE WORLD
SEXUALLY SPEAKING
DONE EVERYTHING
ANYONE WAS SEEKING

WHEN I WAS HOT
THERE WAS NONE LIKE ME
BUT NOW SPEAKING SEXUALLY
SHE ISN'T INTERESTED IN ME
ONLY IN HERSELF

I REALLY CAN'T SEE
THE ENJOYMENT SHE SEES
IN MAKING LOVE ALL ALONE
ON SOME FAROFF FANTASY THRONE
THERE ARE NO STARS ON A SEXUAL THRONE
TEAMWORK BRINGS OUT THE BEST SHOW KNOWN
WE COULD BE TALKING ON THE PHONE
FOR ALL SHE FEELS OF MY VIBRATIONS

SHE CONCENTRATES ONLY ON HER SENSATIONS
MY BORED ENERGY DANCES AROUND HERS
CREATING A STORM WITH SEX PROPELLERS
TO DRIVE US UPWARD TOWARDS THE SUN
WHERE WE CAN REALLY HAVE SOME FUN
LAUGHING AS WE COME TOGETHER
GENTLY LANDING ON A FEATHER
KNOWING WE CAN NEVER FEEL BETTER
THAN WITH EACH OTHER
IN LOVELAND
FOREVER

SO WHY THE FUCK DOES SHE WANT TO TALK
SO MUCH WHILE IN MY COCK
PASSION FLAMES ARE BURNING ME
CRYING OUT TO BE SET FREE
POURING ALL MY ENERGY
INTO HER PRETTY PUSSY
INSTEAD SHE ONLY WANTS TO TALK
WHILE I'M THINKING ABOUT MY COCK

I WISH HER MOUTH HAD A LOCK
TO SHUT HER UP I'D NEED A ROCK
 
 
 
 

56

 
I'M A FAILURE AT LOVE
SOME MIGHT SAY
BECAUSE I'M ALL ALONE TODAY
SHE LEFT ME WITH AN INSULT AT NOON

I DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD END THIS SOON
I WATCHED HER
WALKING DOWN THE STREET
HEAD HELD HIGH ON RAPID FEET
CUTE BUM WIGGLING SIDE TO SIDE

THE WAY SHE MOVES
SHE SEEMS TO GLIDE
BUT NOW I'M ALL ALONE AGAIN
LACKING LOVING MOTIVATION

THE PARTING ISN'T WHAT'S BOTHERING ME
AS MUCH AS THE GREED IN THESE WOMEN
WHY CAN'T WE BE FRIENDS I SAY
OTHER PEOPLE RELATE THAT WAY
SEE EACH OTHER EVERY WEEK
MAKING LOVE IS WHAT I SEEK

WE COULD HAVE SOME CHILDREN TOO
ONE FOR ME AND ONE FOR YOU
BUT AFTER FIVE YEARS OR SO
I'M AFRAID I'LL HAVE TO GO

THAT'S ALL THE TIME THAT I CAN GIVE
TO A NEARLY PERFECT RELATIONSHIP
FOR I MUST KEEP ON SEARCHING
FOR MY PERFECT PARTNERSHIP

SHE'S OUT THERE
SOMEWHERE I KNOW SHE IS
SOMEDAY I'LL FIND WEDDED BLISS
BUT UNTIL I FIND MISS RIGHT
MISS ALRIGHT, I LOVE TO KISS

I CAN GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WISH
MONEY, CLOTHING, TROPICAL FISH
EVERYTHING YOUR EYES CAN SEE
EVERYTHING THAT IS BUT ME

SO PLEASE DON'T ASK ME
TO GIVE ALL OF MY HEART
I WANT TO SAVE JUST A LITTLE PART
SOMETHING FOR THE PERFECT ONE
WHICH WILL NEVER COME UNDONE

THE VERY CENTER OF MY HEART
THE PART THAT I KEEP CALLING ART
IS SAVED FOR ONE WHO'S EQUALLY SMART
IN ALL THE THINGS THAT I MIGHT START

BUT I WANT IT ALL SHE SAID
IF I CAN'T HAVE ALL YOUR HEART
YOUR LOVE MIGHT AS WELL BE DEAD
THAT WAS WHEN I LET A FART
TO WHICH SHE SAID

SECOND RATE LOVE
ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME
I'M NO MISS ALRIGHT
SOMEDAY YOU'LL SEE

I COULD BE THE PERFECT ONE FOR YOU
IF YOU CAN'T BELIEVE THAT
I'M AFRAID WE'RE THROUGH

THAT WAS WHEN SHE WALKED AWAY
THE ONE WHO LOVED ME YESTERDAY
I WONDER WHO SHE'LL LOVE TOMORROW
HE'LL PROBABLY HELP HER EASE HER SORROW

NO WOMAN WANTS TO HEAR SHE'S SECOND
EVEN WHEN SHE IS

IF YOU CAN'T BE DISHONEST GRACEFULLY
YOUR LOVELIFE WILL PROBABLY FIZZ

SO PERFECT PARTNER
WHERE ARE YOU
ARE YOU AN AFRICAN
OR ARE YOU A JEW
ASIAN, CAUCASIAN
ORIENTAL TOO

I WOULD LOVE
TO LOVE ALL OF YOU BUT
ONLY ONE PERFECT PARTNER
WILL DO

HEY HONEY
HOW ABOUT YOU
 
 
 
 

57

 
DANCING ON A CLOUD
AS IN A DREAM I AWOKE
WHEN A VISION OF LOVELINESS
SUDDENLY SPOKE

SHE OPENED HER MOUTH
AND OUT CAME A SONG
I FELT SO HAPPY
MY HEART SANG ALONG

I LOOKED IN HER EYES
AND WHAT DID I SEE
REFLECTIONS OF HAPPINESS
LOOKING AT ME

WHEN WE DANCED
MY HANDS FELT HER SIZE
WITHIN MY EMBRACE
THE DREAM CAME ALIVE

NOW I SING FOR HER
SHE FEELS SO NEAR
I WANT TO CLING TO HER
HER VOICE IS SO CLEAR
REVEALING A HEART
FILLED WITH PURE LOVE
I KNOW GOD IS WATCHING HER
LISTENING FROM ABOVE

WHILE I AM LOOKING
ON HER LOVELY FACE
REMARKABLE FEELINGS
ARE TAKING PLACE
INSIDE MY HEART
I WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT WHEN I LOOK AT YOU
I LOVE YOU SO

OH YES
THERE ARE OTHER FANS
WHO LOVE YOU TOO
YOUR HUSBAND AND CHILDREN
ALL OF US DO

THIS IS THE WAY
WE FEEL ABOUT YOU
YOU LIVE IN OUR DREAMS
AND IN OUR HEARTS TOO
 
 
 
 

58

 
I CAME TO THE CITY SO I COULD GET LOST
MOSTLY SUCCEEDED THOUGH THERE WAS A COST
LIKE THE PAIN I FELT CUTTING OFF MY HEART
WHEN I TOLD YOU WE'D BE GROWING APART
IT SHOULDN'T HAVE MATTERED
FOR YOU AREN'T ALONE

YOU HAVE A HUSBAND
AND A MOTHER'S THRONE
HOW COULD I EXPECT YOU TO COME WITH ME
ON A LIFELONG JOURNEY TO SWIM IN THE SEA
WHERE WE'D PLANT OUR FEET BY THE WATERSIDE
WHEN WE'RE BOTH AWARE, YOU'RE SOMEONE ELSE'S BRIDE

PERFECT PARTNERS ARE HARD TO FIND
ONES THAT TOUCH YOUR HEART
AND MAKE YOU LOSE YOUR MIND

WHEN IT HAPPENS IT FEELS LIKE ECSTASY
THEN THE TRUTH SINKS IN
SHE'S WITH HIM, NOT ME

SO I'LL KEEP TRAVELLING WITH A GOAL IN VIEW
TO MEET SOMEONE WHO FEELS SOMETHING LIKE YOU
WHO CAN RESPOND WITH A LOVING TOUCH
AND DO THOSE THINGS I LOVE SO MUCH

TILL THEN I MAY DREAM ABOUT YOU
SING YOUR SONG, DO WHAT WE USED TO DO
WALK CITY STREETS FEELING ALONE
WISHING I COULD KISS YOU
WHEN I COME HOME
TO YOU
 
 
 
 

59

 
I SPENT MY LAST TEN DOLLARS
ON WINE WOMEN AND SONG
I HOPE THE PARTY NEVER ENDS
THANK GOD IT'S LASTED THIS LONG

BUT NOW IS ANOTHER DAY
THERE'S NO MONEY TO BUY FOOD
PERHAPS WELFARE WILL PAY THE RENT
UNTIL MY SPIRITS ARE RENEWED

AT LEAST I HAVE MY MUSIC
AND SOME FINE PLACES TO GO
FRIENDS WHO WILL STILL PLAY WITH ME
IF I PLAY HARD ENOUGH PERHAPS I'LL SEE

WHAT MUST I DO TO EARN SOME MONEY
THOUGH DRONING HARD TO COLLECT SOME HONEY
ISN'T WHAT I WANT TO DO
UNLESS IT FEEDS MY SPIRIT TOO

DO I HAVE A TALENT
OTHER PEOPLE CAN'T SEE
SOME PURPOSE IN LIVING LIFE AS ME
EVEN THOUGH I'M HITTING THE BOTTOM
WITH ARTISTIC ENERGY I'VE STILL GOT EM
EATING OUT OF THE PALM OF MY HAND
CONTINUALLY TALKING OF BEING GRAND
RICH AND FAMOUS AND POWERFUL TOO
LISTEN HAVE I GOT A DEAL FOR YOU
BUT WITH A DIME IN MY POCKET
I BETTER MOVE FAST
TO AVOID COMPLETE FAILURE

PROVING AT LAST
TO OTHERS WHO DON'T SEE
WHAT MY TALENT IS WORTH
ANY DAY NOW I'M SURE TO GIVE BIRTH
TO A MILLION DOLLAR IDEA OR TWO
IT'LL HAVE TO SELL QUITE A FEW

WHAT I MUST DO IS SOMEHOW CHOOSE
WHAT PEOPLE WOULD NOT WANT TO REFUSE
IF IT WERE OFFERED TO THEM TODAY &
GUESS HOW MUCH
THEY WANT TO PAY

SURELY
MY IDEAS WILL SOMEDAY PAY OFF
THEN I CAN LEAVE THIS LIFE OF SLOTH

RETIRING IN THE CARIBBEAN
AFTER BANKING ONE OR TWO MILLION
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN AN ARTISTIC DREAMER
WITH SUPER TALENT & A TOUCH OF THE SCHEMER
PLUS STARPOWER AND SEXUAL ENERGY
HOPEFULLY ENOUGH TO RESCUE ME

MAYBE I CAN PUT ON A SHOW
SO FASCINATING THE WHOLE WORLD WILL GO
PAYING MONEY IN ADVANCE TO SEE
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HAPPENING WITH ME
I COULD BEGIN BY REMOVING MY CLOTHES
AFTER THAT ALMOST ANYTHING GOES

SING A SONG WITH NO RESTRAINTS
CALL OURSELVES THE SINGING SAINTS
CUT A RECORD OR TWO OR MORE
GIVE THE PROFITS TO THE POOR

MAYBE PURCHASE A PRETTY WHORE
OR POSSIBLY OPEN A RECORD STORE
I COULD SUCCEED AT THAT I'M SURE

BUT WHILE I'M DREAMING IN RAINBOW COLORS
OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR ME AND OTHERS
THIS STARVING ARTIST IS ACTUALLY FIXING
TO GET DRESSED AND VISIT
THE LOCAL SOUP KITCHEN

SOCIAL WELFARE SURE IS A RELIEF
EVEN THOUGH SOUP KITCHENS RARELY SERVE BEEF
AT LEAST IT'S KEEPING ME ALIVE AND THIS LIFE IS
MORE FUN THAN WORKING NINE TO FIVE

YES
I SPENT MY LAST TEN DOLLARS
ON WINE, WOMEN AND SONG
MAYBE THE PARTY SHOULD COME TO AN END
IT'S LASTED FAR TOO LONG
 
 
 
 

60

 
RUSHING AROUND CITY STREETS
I SEE GRASS GROWING AT MY FEET
PUSHING CONCRETE OUT OF THE WAY
ENCOURAGED BY A SUNNY DAY

IT'S REASSURING
KNOWING NATURE LIVES ON
DESPITE OUR DESTRUCTIVE WAYS
POLLUTION COLLECTS IN PEOPLE'S MINDS

WE LIVE LIFE IN A HAZE
COVERING THE GROUND
IGNORING SKIES
NOBODY WALKS
EVERYONE FLIES

RUSHING AROUND WITH TAXI FARE
MEETING HERE AND MEETING THERE
NO TIME TO EXERCISE OR PLAY
ANOTHER UNHEALTHY HIGH
BLOOD PRESSURE DAY

GOOD THING
SUMMER COMES ALONG
COTTAGE ON A LAKE
A ROBIN SONG

SAINTS CAN DIE ON CITY STREETS
IT'S GOOD TO FEEL GRASS
BENEATH OUR FEET
 
 
 
 

61

 
I'VE LEARNED
I SHOULD TRY
ARTIFICIAL STIMULATIONS
LIKE SMOKING MARIJUANA
DRINKING BEER & BOOZE &
POP PRESCRIPTION PILLS
CONSUME COCAINE &
TAKE OTHER DRUGS
ONLY WHEN GOD
WANTS ME TO
 
BEWARE ARTIFICIALLY
STIMULATED IMAGINATIONS
EXPANDING MINDS CAN FALL APART
WEAKENING BODIES AND
KILLING HEARTS
 
 
 
 

62

 
I'M AN ARTIST
NOT A CONFORMIST
CONFORMITY OR CREATIVITY
IS THE BASIC CHOICE FOR ME
WHETHER I CAN FEEL TOTALLY FREE
TO THINK WHAT I WANT

OR MUST I BE
OBEDIENT TO SOMEONE ELSE'S VIEW
BELIEVING THEIR OPINIONS TOO
SMILING WHILE INSIDE I SEETHE
ANGRILY GRINDING HALF MY TEETH
BECAUSE SOME STUPID INDIVIDUAL
KNOWS ONLY ONE WAY OF THINKING
WITH HIM BEING THE ONLY ONE RIGHT
ON TOP WITH EVERYONE ELSE SINKING
WHEN I EXPRESS MY VIEWS TO HIM
HE DOESN'T REALLY LISTEN
ALL HE WANTS IS CONFORMITY
TO HIS LIMITED VISION

CREATIVITY CLEARS THE MIND
DISPELS DOUBTS ENLARGES TIME
PLACES ENERGY IN A STRAIGHT LINE
HELPS PEOPLE SMILE
THAT'S A GOOD SIGN

NO CONFORMITY ISN'T THE THING FOR ME
IF I DISAGREE WITH YOU, MAYBE WE`LL SEE
THERE IS ANOTHER WAY

IF YOU'RE WILLING TO LEARN SOMETHING TODAY
STAY AROUND LONG ENOUGH & YOU`LL AGREE
CREATIVITY IS SUPERIOR TO CONFORMITY
 
 
 
 

63

 
AS A TRUE ARTIST
THERE'S NO MORALITY

EVERYTHING I SEE
LOOKS LIKE ART TO ME

THERE'S
NO SUCH THING AS GOOD OR BAD
ONLY REALITY, HAPPY AND SAD

I DON'T SEE WORLDS IN COLLISION
ARTISTS SEE LIVING TELEVISION

PEOPLE ARE SO ANXIOUS
TO FIND BIG POTS OF GOLD
THEY DON'T SEE RICHNESS IN THEIR LIVES
UNTIL THEY ARE TOO OLD

WANDERING THE PATH OF LIFE
PERFECTION IS MY GOAL
BUT I'M IN NO RUSH TO GET THERE
I WANT TO PLAY EVERY ROLE

I WAS HONESTLY CHRISTLIKE AS A CHILD
THEN FOR SOME REASON I WENT WILD
SEEKING OUT BOTH GOOD AND BAD
WANTING MORE FROM EVERY FAD

TO SOME I APPEARED AS A GOD
I'M A GREAT ACTOR, NOT A FRAUD
WILFULLY PUSHING ALL THE LIMITS
FOR EVERY AUDIENCE, INCLUDING SOME DIMWITS

SOME TRIED TO HANG ME ON A CROSS
I EVENTUALLY SHOWED THEM WHO WAS BOSS
WALKING STRAIGHT THROUGH BABYLON'S DOOR
WHILE WORSHIPPING A GODLIKE WHORE
THEN I FOUND MYSELF INVOLVED
WITH DRUGS AND FINALLY SOLVED
THAT PROBLEM TOO LIKE ALL THE OTHERS
WHICH CAUSE PAIN AND FEAR
IN FATHERS AND MOTHERS

EVENTUALLY I LEARNED THE SCORE
NOW I CAN WRITE AND EVEN MORE
I MAY TRY THE SILVER SCREEN
I COULD CERTAINLY PLAY THE HAS BEEN
BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S JUST A PHASE
ANOTHER STEP IN MY HUMAN RACE
AND IF I CAN ALSO LIVE THAT LIFE
CREATE SOME DRAMA, CONQUER STRIFE
PERHAPS I'LL PICK UP ANOTHER WIFE
THAT WOULD MAKE IT AN INTERESTING TRIP
SHE MIGHT EVEN BE A PERFECT FIT

THEN I COULD WRITE THE PERFECT SCRIPT
FOR A LOVE STORY WITH FULL SOUNDTRACK
AN ARTIST'S LIFE NEED NEVER LACK
ESPECIALLY IF THE ARTIST TRIES
EXPERIENCING EVERYTHING
WITHOUT TELLING LIES

SEEING TRUTH
AND TELLING ALL
WHILE FLYING HIGH
AND AFTER THE FALL

WINTER'S COLD BUT IT'S SOON GONE
WHEN AN ARTIST FINDS A HOME
WITH SOME ARTISTIC COMPANY
WHERE HE CAN FEEL
COMPLETELY FREE

FOR PARADISE IS IN THE MIND
WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING ALL THE TIME
ALL YOU REALLY HAVE TO DO IS
FIND SOMEONE TO PLAY WITH YOU

AND YOU KNOW YOU ALWAYS WILL
THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEONE YOU CAN THRILL
FOR THAT IS WHAT AN ARTIST GIVES
THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE AS HE LIVES

ARTISTIC IN ALL RESPECTS
CREATIVE TO THE NTH DEGREE
IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ART
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ME
ART DAILY (MAX) MOORE
FANTASY SINGER
 
 
 
 

64

 
MUSIC IS MY MOTIVATOR
CORRECTING PAST MISTAKES
I'LL IGNORE ALL DISTRACTIONS
STOP LISTENING TO FAKES

I'M DESTINED TO SUCCEED
AT EVERYTHING I DO REGARDLESS
WHAT PEOPLE THINK
INCLUDING YOU
 
 
 
 

65

 
FOR MUSICIANS
THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG

WHEN YOU HEAR THE COSMIC SONG
GOD'S SINGING IN YOUR INNER EAR
SOME CAN HEAR IT VERY CLEAR
OTHERS ONLY HEAR A NOISE
FROM TELEVISION AND RADIOS
NEVER KNOWING HOW IT FEELS
TO BE ONE WHOSE MIND IS REAL
CLEAR AND FULL OF MUSIC

PEOPLE HEARING MINDSONGS
WRITING THE LYRICS
AND SINGING ALONG
BELIEVE THEY'RE LISTENING
TO A HEAVENLY CHOIR
THE SOUND IS SPECIAL
IT INSPIRES

ELVIS PRESLEY
HEARD THE SOUND
IT WOULDN'T LET HIM BE
HIS MUSIC DROVE HIM
AROUND A BEND HE COULDN'T SEE
HIS MIND WAS IN MUSICAL HEAVEN
BUT HE FORGOT ABOUT HIS BODY

BOB MARLEY PROBABLY HEARD IT TOO
SOUNDS OF ANGELS PLAYING A MUSE
IN HIS MIND MELODIES BECKONED
HE SANG THE SONGS & DIED A LEGEND

MUSIC CAN TAKE YOU UP AND DOWN
HEARING HEAVEN WHILE ON THE GROUND
CREATES DIFFICULTIES IN YOUR LIFE
WHEN PLAYING WITH YOUR CHILDREN &
TALKING WITH YOUR WIFE

FOR WHEN YOU HEAR THAT HEAVENLY SOUND
AND FEEL DIVINE INSPIRATION ALL AROUND
THE SPIRIT OF CREATION ENTERS YOU &
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU MUST DO

YOU MUST SING ANOTHER SONG
RECORD AN ALBUM, PRACTISE LONG
ALWAYS IN SEARCH OF THE PERFECT SOUND
THE GODLIKE SOUND, PERFECTLY ROUND

BUT YOU FIND YOU CAN'T DO IT ALONE
THERE ARE NO SOLOISTS ON A MUSICAL THRONE
ONLY DUETS AND HARMONIES
MAKE THE SOUND ROUND ENOUGH TO PLEASE

YOU CONTINUE LEARNING
MORE ABOUT MUSIC AND YEARNING
FOR THE DAY WHEN YOU'LL BE FREE
TO SING WHAT'S IN YOUR HEAD FOR YOU SEE
WHEN YOU'VE ACHIEVED A PERFECT SOUND
THERE IS NO ONE WHO CAN BRING YOU DOWN
NO ONE CAN SAY NO TO YOU
REJECTION IS A PHASE THAT YOU'VE PASSED THROUGH
BECAUSE HOW YOU SOUND IS HOW THEY FEEL
WHEN YOU SOUND ROUND, IT'S REAL

EVERYBODY LISTENS TO YOU
AS IF EVERYTHING YOU SAY IS TRUE
NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU SAY
BUT BECAUSE YOU MADE THEM FEEL ROUND THAT DAY

WHEN YOU HAVE A PERFECT SOUND
PEOPLE WANT TO HAVE YOU AROUND
SPEAKING, SINGING, DOESN'T MATTER
EVEN IF YOUR CLOTHES ARE TATTERED
THESE ARE SUPERFICIALITIES
WHEN YOUR SOUND CAN REALLY PLEASE

SO
WHY NOT
SEIZE THE MOMENT NOW

GO AHEAD
HOLY COW
YOU DID IT
YOU MADE A SOUND

BY THE GODHEAD
YOUR SOUND IS ROUND
PEOPLE ARE LOOKING
AS IF THEY'RE SEEING
A GOD OR A DEVIL

YOU KNOW
YOU'RE SPECIAL

THE TIME HAS COME
TO PUT ON A SHOW
ANY KIND OF SHOW WILL DO
AS LONG AS IT PLEASES THEM
AND YOU AND GOD TOO

A MUSICIAN'S LIFE IS THE LIFE FOR ME
PERFECTLY ROUND & PERFECTLY FREE
THERE'S SO MUCH MORE OF LIFE TO SEE
WITH THIS ROUND SOUNDING VOICE
INSIDE OF ME
 
 
 
 

66

 
SILENT SEX
IS NO FUN
IT'S LIKE ENTERING A RACE
WITHOUT TRYING TO RUN

FILLING THE AIR
WITH LOTS OF SOUND
MAKES OUR SEX LIVES
GO ROUND AND ROUND
FASTER AND FASTER
WE CAN GO

WHEN TWO PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO SHOW
HOW MUCH THEY REALLY LOVE EACH OTHER
LETTING IT GO WITHOUT TRYING TO SMOTHER
SEXY SOUNDS OF BREATHING HARD
GRUNTING NOISES, PASSING FARTS
PUSHING HARD WITH ALL OUR MIGHT
ACHIEVING BLASTOFF INTO FLIGHT
YELLING, SCREAMING, LETTING IT OUT
IF YOU WANT TO, YOU CAN SHOUT
YES, YES, YES AS WE COME TOGETHER
CLAWING MY BACK IF IT FEELS EVEN BETTER
ERUPTING LIKE A SEXUAL VOLCANO
WITHOUT YELLING NO NO NO
LIKE SOME WOMEN WHOM I'VE KNOWN
THOSE ARE WOMEN I'LL NEVER PHONE AGAIN
BECAUSE I DON'T GO FOR GIRLS WHO YELL NO

I GIVE
MY BEST
FOR THOSE
WHO SCREAM
YES

THAT'S WHY I LIKE
HAVING YOU AROUND
THE SEX IS GOOD AND
YOU GIVE GREAT SOUND
 
 
 
 

67

 
IT'S A WORLD OF SOUND
VERSUS A WORLD OF SIGHT
MEN AGAINST WOMEN
IN THE WARS OF THE NIGHT

SEX WARS SPREADING ACROSS THE NATION
RESULTING IN A LOVE STARVATION
HUSBANDS SLAMMING CLOSED DOORS
WIVES POPPING PILLS LIKE WHORES

COUPLES FIGHTING
ON BEDS OF SAND
HOPING THEY'LL REMEMBER
HOW TO STAND
WHEN TRUTH FINALLY
ARRIVES IN THE LAND
AND PEOPLE LEARN
THE WORLD IS ROUND
AND BOTH ARE RIGHT
THE WORLD OF SOUND &
THE WORLD OF SIGHT

SO
LET'S MAKE LOVE
AGAIN TONIGHT
LET'S NOT FIGHT
LIKE OTHER COUPLES
LET'S HELP EACH OTHER
FEEL ALRIGHT
 
 
 
 

68

 
WINNING IS A WASTE OF TIME
WHEN IT'S YOUR POINT OF VIEW OR MINE
UNSPOKEN ANGER CLOUDS THE MIND
ARGUING DEFORMS THE SPINE

I HAVEN'T FELT REAL ANGRY SINCE
CHILDISH TANTRUMS WITH MOM AND DAD
WHEN NOBODY WINS IN A CONVERSATION
IT CAN MAKE YOU FEEL SO SAD

TRY TO TELL THE BOSS WHAT'S RIGHT
SHE ALWAYS KNOWS WHAT'S BEST
WE FIGHT

IDEAS I HAVE ARE REAL TO ME
BUT I HAVE TO HIDE
THE WAY I FEEL

THOUGHTS I THINK
CAN BE FLUSHED DOWN A KITCHEN SINK
FOR ALL MOST PEOPLE CARE
ABOUT MY POINT OF VIEW
INCLUDING GOVERNMENT TOO

SO TELL ME WHY I HAVE TO ENDURE
FEELING INTERPERSONALLY POOR
CONSTANT REJECTION CAUSES HEARTBURN
WHEN FIGHTING WITH SOMEONE WHO REFUSES TO LEARN
BUT SOME PEOPLE JUST DON'T WANT TO KNOW
WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND

THEY WANT A SHOW
THEY WANT A BATTLE
STAR WAR EXPLOSIONS
TEETH TO RATTLE

FEW PEOPLE CARE ABOUT ULTIMATE TRUTH
ANALYZING LOGIC & UNDERSTANDING ROOTS
OF REALITY UNDERLYING WHAT WE SEE
SURELY WE'RE BOTH RIGHT
YOU & ME

THERE'S NO NEED FOR VICTORY OR GLORY
IT'S NOT RIGHT TO HAVE ONLY ONE STORY
WITH ONE A CHAMPION WHILE THE OTHER ONE DIES
A CONQUERING HERO DEFEATING ONE WHO LIES

HARMONY HOLDS MORE TRUTH FOR ME
WHEN BOTH YOU AND I CAN SEE
EACH OTHERS' POINTS OF VIEW
LEARNING FROM ONE ANOTHER TOO

NO MORE PLAYING WIN AND LOSE GAMES
POWERFUL PEOPLE POINTING FINGERS OF SHAME
CAUSING CHILDREN TO SHUT THEIR MOUTH
EMPLOYEES ESCAPING WORK
VACATIONING SOUTH

WIVES CAN ACT LIKE GREEDY WHORES
DRIVING HUSBANDS TO CLOSE THEIR DOORS
THINKING I'LL GET EVEN WITH HIM
I'LL CUT HIS SAILS
HE WON'T SWIM
OVER ME AGAIN

UNTIL HE PAYS MY PRICE
GIVES ME EVERYTHING I WANT
LEARNS TO BE NICE &
FOLLOWS MY ADVICE

UNTIL HE LEARNS
TO SING MY SONG
I'LL PROVE MYSELF RIGHT
BY PROVING HIM WRONG

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE ALL BEEN LIKE THAT
WINNING POINTS BY KNOCKING OTHERS FLAT
OPPRESSORS THROWN VIOLENTLY ON THE MAT
GLORY AND VICTORY AREN'T WHERE IT'S AT

TABLES ARE OVERTURNED
AS WE FIGHT FOR VICTORY
OUR ENEMIES ARE BURNED
ON THE STAKE OF OUR REALITY

IF ONE SIDE WINS
IT'S A FANTASY

FOR WHEN ONE SIDE WINS
IN A CONVERSATION
WHETHER IT'S A PERSON
OR A NATION

THERE'S HELL TO PAY AGAIN TOMORROW
ANOTHER STRUGGLE BRINGING MORE SORROW
PRESSURES BUILDING IN THE BRAIN
SOMEONE WILL EXPLODE AGAIN

CONVERSATIONS IN THE MIND
FIGHTING WINDMILLS, WASTING TIME
WHEN POWER TALKS NOBODY WINS
THE VICTOR TODAY TOMORROW SINS

THE ONLY THING THAT'S REALLY TRUE
IN ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU AND I DO
IS HARMONY BETWEEN ME AND YOU
UNDERSTANDING EACH OTHER TOO
WITH A MUTUAL POINT OF VIEW

BOTH OF US CAN BE PARTLY RIGHT
BECAUSE BOTH ARE PARTLY WRONG
OUR PROBLEMS BELONG TO BOTH OF US
THERE'S NO NEED TO FIGHT FOR LONG
ANY DISAGREEMENT NOT RESOLVED
TO OUR MUTUAL SATISFACTION
SHOULD BE RECALLED

WITH A CLEAR CUT UNDERSTANDING
WE ARE BOTH A BIT TOO DEMANDING
AND SOMEWHERE IN THIS UNHOLY MESS
JUST WHERE COULD BE ANYONE'S GUESS
IT SHOULD BE POSSIBLE TO CLEAR THE AIR
WITH UNDERSTANDING AND BEING FAIR
ASSUMING THAT WE BOTH SHOULD WIN
IF ONE OF US FEELS DEFEATED
THAT'S A SIN

IN EVERY WIN, THERE'S A FAILURE TOO
NOT UNDERSTANDING BOTH POINTS OF VIEW
CAUSES SOCIETY'S BIGGEST LOSS
WHEN ONE OF US WINDS UP AS BOSS

IT'S A COMMON FAILING
YES I KNOW
WANTING TO WIN
PUT ON A SHOW

I'D RATHER SING A SONG
WITH EVERYBODY SINGING ALONG
AND SOME DEGREE OF HARMONY
FEELING GOOD FOR BOTH
YOU AND ME
 
 
 
 

69

 
WHEN
YOU HAVE A MUSICAL MIND
AND A TOTALLY POSITIVE VIBE
EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE
ALL THE TIME

FOR PEOPLE
WHO PLAY CONSTANTLY
WITH MAX HEART POWERS
MIND EDEN IS A MUSICAL HEAVEN
SINGING IN THE SHOWERS
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

MAX MUSIC SINGERS
LEADING THE WORLD
LET THE FLAG OF
MUSICAL HEAVEN
BE UNFURLED

MIND EDEN
IN EVERY HEAD
ESPECIALLY WHEN
WE'RE IN BED

SEE YOU AT SEVEN
SOMEWHERE IN OUR
MUSICAL HEAVEN
 
 
 
 

70

 
I'M GOING AWAY
SOON MY LOVE
TO ANSWER GOD'S COSMIC CALL
PERFORMING A HOLY MISSION
IN ANOTHER CONCERT HALL

THE FANS ARE WAITING TO SEE ME
THEY LOVE ME SO VERY MUCH
CAN WE REALLY BLAME THEM
FOR LOVING MY PERFECT TOUCH

FOR I CAN HEAL THEIR UNHEALTHY MINDS
SET THEM ON PATHS THAT ARE STRAIGHT
AIM THEM IN THE DIRECTION OF GOD
HELP THEM THROUGH HEAVEN'S GATE

OR SHOULD I MERELY ENTERTAIN THEM
MAKE THEM LAUGH SOME MORE AND
WHEN I'VE FINISHED PERFORMING
DISAPPEAR OUT THE DOOR

EITHER WAY
SHINE ON, SHINING STAR
GOD IS WATCHING US FROM AFAR
ALTHOUGH THE WORLD MAY WORSHIP US
GOD SEES US AS WE ARE
