SPACE TRAVEL

they're polishing the government
resembles a last waltz
we are the playthings
we are the form
soon it may come
since we can rise
too long since i've seen you
we move like satellites

my future lies
in spacetravel
she's coming over me

they're burning the tenements
topless progressive thinking
political holes
got six but pray for seven

my future lies
in space travel
she's coming over me
i employ spies
to stroll the gravel
they never want to leave
my future lies

scared of the government
i'm scared of the government

my future lies
in spacetravel
there's someone after me i employ spies in silver tassels they never seem that pleased

my future lies

40 MILES FROM THE SUN

there is nowhere left to hide
there is nothing to be done
no people to be saved
no pets we've never named

40 miles from the sun

as darkness craves the mind
we come undone without our pride
no time on earth to come
all the pleasures just begun

in our coats beneath the layers
wash my skin of all the hate
we should sleep late
everything just kind of grates

40 miles from the sun

i need to lose to make it right
i'll confront the starts tonight
i will babble i will bite
you'll never know how much you shine

40 miles from the sun

THE DISEASE OF THE DANCING CATS

infested, polluted
tons of mercury dumped in the bay
it's bleeding there's no proof
that's no way to treat a good friend
your whiskey talks louder
than most things i've read you said
in situ.  in place now
sit back unwind and relax

the disease of the dancing cats

big cheese is all greed
it's all relative what you needed
happy birthday here's your nerve gas

all the fishermen and their families
all sickly crumbling cerebellum
it's all over for urang-a-tans
looks like they're back on the street again

mistrusted, disruptive
rape land and kill good habitat
world weary, world broken
well spent and money money money money
injected, transmuted
80 tons of mercury dumped in a bay
it's breathing - it puts the dog in the basket

all sickly growing sentimental
invaded, downgraded
your bile lands right on my head
uncalled for, unwanted
my sinking zero tolerance

it's all over for urang-a-tans

looks like they're back on the street again

PRIZEFIGHTER

there are days
when i fear for my life
think that's strange
well that's the waste of you

sun up time now for you to run
i will always know you - you're a special one
now i'm up on this climb, up on this climb
i won't fade away

the best is yet to come
sad you're not around
the best is yet to come
better get your feet back on the ground

prisoner or passenger
a free man or scavenger
i'm a prizefighter

who will be there
cover when you fall
we're all chasing something
how come you never call

i thought you were all beautiful
it doesn't make sense, sense, sense
i'm a prizefighter
