Phantastik New Plant
03:04
|
|||
|
Atrocious remedies we’ll strike
In the mortars of night
To congratulate your botany
This novel toyon’s blooms
Heliotropic memories
Strung all along the greenhouse
Seven leaves in spreading pattern
Dark green with purple spatter
Robust in leavened loam
Shoots and spores tend to roam
Seeking out the light
Grafted onto animiculum
See here son
When you arrive
Bring the clippings
You collected from
Phantastik new plant
On the horizon
Like I told you
Root the fresh stems
We culled from
Phantastik new plant
Glee!
It’s how I want to be
Do it merrily
In blossoming meadows
How did you know my mind?
I thought that all plants were blind
Sensing only mud and sun
Mistaken assumption
Follow you to your grave
Where the hungry roots suck
I demand the seeds of a
Phantastik new plant

We’re deep in the luxury
Of plenty of time
Nothing is done and
Less is decided
I’m ready to turn back if you are
Templeton Mist has assembled
Long before the point of yes depart
A team of globetrotting futurists
Who’ve unlocked the secrets of purest inertia
By hoisting the wisdom of Zeno’s petard
Dr. Glabrezu’s attorney’s disbarred
Leaning hard on pseudoscience
Citing journals, fleecing clients
Long before the point of yes depart
All avenues welcome
Your feet will determine
Who follows your nose
Long before the point of yes depart
Watching it fly
Eyes in the mind
(Long before the point of yes depart)
We’re deep in the luxury
Of plenty of time
(Long before the point of yes depart)
He wishes he could
Go back to
(Long before the point of yes depart)

Polygone
01:55
|
|||
|
Deep and lost
In the dozens of
Dodecahedrons climbing
From the foot of the bed
To your toes
To your head
Randomized stacks of infinity
Fourscore twenty
Polygone
Eighty possibles
Isocahedron collider
Slashing numerals down
To particular integers
Gone dicing in the tower
Clash with Polygone
Rolling bones on the stones
Fire up that hookah, Nathan
Save your clever quips
From psychotronic trips
For the message of the pips
Never dissembles
Look at who she resembles
Polygone

Black Mayonnaise
02:42
|
|||
|
Oil cream
Tastes lousy and monstrous
Awful burning in the nose
Stark vinegar betrayal
No egress is apparent
Mile of sucking clay
Lies in the way
No compassion for your compatriots
Black mayonnaise
Juicy and gelid
Acidic conglomerate
Inching up
Over the boot tops
Elemental ebony
Black mayonnaise
Finaglers work industriously
Dredging channels
Long left to sediment
Errors now evident
Iniquity and inertia
Might never find an answer
It’s inenarrable
No words
Black mayonnaise
Finaglers work industriously
Dredging channels
Long left to sediment
Errors now resolving

Sky Horse
01:58
|

Sky horse canters
Through cumulus clouds
Says
“No need to fear us”
Mane flows like cirrus
Sky horse gallops
Through nimbus halos
Says
“Fourfold the stratus
Come to combat us”
No rider
No mount
No kingdom too high to surmount
Thunderhoof in stratosphere
Sky horse fly out of here
Bolting like lightning
Hooves thundering
“We will not be whipped,
tamed, or broken”
Sky horse has spoken
No rider
No mount
No kingdom too high to surmount
Sky horse dine on sunshine
Let’s make a memory here
Sky horse fly out of here

Deep Cloning Formula
01:50
|
|||
|
He likes Jerry Todd
I remember you
You have a number
Embroidered on your neck
Ceded by the sabbath
Intel business marketing
We hit our fifty hours
Turning primordium new
I have our identity
Deep cloning formula
You did all the delivery
There are several of me
OK yeah you and
Him and him and him and
These two and
By email you’ll learn something
Plus
You and him
Living according to online
Publishing a you
Organized money disabling the
Deep cloning formula
I want him holy
And so he cried
Prayed by the federal run
Provided with an argument

Devil's Picnic
02:02
|
|||
|
No one is chasing you
Not on your tail my friend
Got my own path to tread
Envision my own end
Gone to explore the dungeon
Radioactive dungeons
Gone to plumb the dungeon
Syphilitic caverns
Cold flames
Devil’s picnic
Rocket fuel teacup
A peek inside the workings
Devil’s picnic
Surrounded by the hum of
Cadillac glow
She wasted no time
Belting out old standards
On the A.M. band

Recycle the Circle
02:52
|
|||
|
Velocipedes know
The length of a throw
They’re doused in your trust
Of amazement
You’re sure to find a seed
In those pamphlets you read
Pushing pedals to the medals
Nocturnally
You can try it
Give it a shot
Roundabout
Recycle the circle
So now we’ll find out
Where the curved path leads
To discover
What lies bunched and ripe
Among the reeds
Teleprompters bleed
When evening news is teed
Up for your personal
Consumption
Ambulances flee
From the gore at the scene
Tires blown money back
Guarantee
You can try it
Give it a shot
Roundabout
Recycle the circle
To recycle the circle
We can never know
Whether curving paths go
To the endlessly new

Blazed On Venom
00:48
|
|||
|
Drip incandescent
Pain effervescent
Like a ringing sting
Straight to the temple
By way of the plexus
Blazed on venom

Caress Me If I'm Wrong
01:49
|
|||
|
You found a sparkle pillar
A technotronic thriller
You climbed and broke the filler
Caress me if I’m wrong
You saw the dream theatrics
Never reveal the tactics
Brought your best to the table
Caress me if I’m wrong
If I’m right
However unlikely
That might be
I’d give it up for thee
To make you whole
To fix the roof
To put the riches
On your table so
Caress me if I’m wrong
Caress me if I’m wrong
Caress me if I’m wrong
You swing the danger arc down
Riding green vinyl to town
Concrete wall cracked and resound
Caress me if I’m wrong
Venture beyond condominiums
To swamps all filled with traps

Neck of the Rip
01:42
|
|||
|
Visualize the hack
Nodes and virtuals
Backups lined up
Under the marching lines
Hey Jack
We gotta stick apart
If we wanna stick together
And that’s the hardest part
Neck of the rip
Transformational
Clouds approaching
Neck of the rip
Currents encroaching

S-S-S-S-Sustainer
01:37
|
|||
|
Pragmatic sessions
Fully sustained
With stamina
Sometimes records get lost
Kids are left out
Sensory motherlode
Streaming ego
Untamed reflections
Some screens go black
Faces of the past
Eyetime reclaimer
S-s-s-s-sustainer
Always a victim
Never a blamer
Get down in Satellite Town
Fingers flying
Over the card catalog
Rain in the tunnel
Sluicing the tube
Sweeping dust
With all the unwary minds
Into the slosh of soup
Eyetime reclaimer
S-s-s-s-sustainer
Overnight crosstrainer
S-s-s-s-s-sustainer
Always colossal
Never smaller

Her Fish-White Belly
02:39
|
|||
|
She called me a bastard
Said her name was Astrid
Claimed she believed
In a star-belly Sneech
That never came off
Climbed up the paw-paw
Cut free a raw draw
Slid down the trunk
In a seven-day funk
That had nothing to do with me
We swam in the ocean
Her fish-white belly
Pressed tight against the
Back of me
In a brineweed sea
Astrid was beautiful
Pigtail god of the heavens
Astrid return to me
From the sea
Shared the last pilsner
Now nothing else can fill her
Devoid of thought
Both shoulders touching
Both sort of bewildered
Astrid was beautiful
Pigtail god of the heavens
Astrid return to me
From the sea
Now I think she’s wandered off
To be royal again
She’s nostalgic for those times
Old places and all her old friends
Astrid’s gone now
And never to be
In touch with me
I can recall all of her charms
I remember both of her pale arms

Hexcrawler
03:08
|
|||
|
Roll as they enter me
Pause and accept the
Existence of a
Perfectly balanced
Party
Sons if available
Or daughters
No shirkers here
Pick up the stock
Or let it be
Recycled
Take up the sword
And the shield
And theolodite
Survey the lands for
What they might
Yield you
Hexcrawler
Creeping o’er fantastic lands
Wield the magic
And the mace
Proselytizing
Right into the face of
Unbelievers
To extract their treasure
Hexcrawler
Like a spider
Crawling from hex to hex
Ready for the next
Murder hobos unleashed
On the locals
Not beneficial

Oscillation Overthruster
02:21
|
|||
|
I’ve been ionized
But I’m OK now
Eyes wide open
With electrochemical formula
Don’t tug on that
You never know
What it’s connected to
There’s no coincidence
Don’t look now
They’re in the room
Pure evil by way of
The eighth dimension
Sined
Seeled
Delivered
Hear the tones
Begin to shiver
Oscillation overthruster
Where’s my jet car?
I was delayed
Preparing a bold assault
On the doors of perception
Eyes on the horizon
You’ll make it far
No matter where you go
There you are
The criminal mind
Has gone worldwide
There’s countless threads
Remember Hanoi Xan’s threat
Sined
Seeled
Delivered
Hear the tones
Begin to shiver
Oscillation overthruster

The Town That Went Mad
01:33
|
|||
|
Go forth and multiply
Embrace fecundity
Fertility split the atom
Made oily seas
Ergot wheat
Through the bread
Madness spreads
They saw the cat go crazy
Screaming as it died
Heard the madly quacking ducks
Unable to fly
Some heard colors
Others saw voices
Whispering of an iron spike
That had tainted the earth
Driven into every nut of wheat
Like a cold black heart
Invisible
Physicians are puzzled
If not outright baffled
By the circumstances around
The town that went mad
