Maybe they pull you up.
Maybe they pull you down
Sometimes sleight of hand
Sometimes strangling
Others find a place to give
Or offer you a lift
Gary was a guy from work
He asked to borrow five
Gave him 20 just to find
What kind of guy he really was
Gary never lights himself on fire
burning every bridge he ever made
Meet him half way
With a firm handshake
& Pull him up if his ground gives way
Gary paid me back
Promptly the next day
And later stole my suit
From the front seat of my Chevrolet
lost his job became estranged
Until outside a show
Pan handling for change
He found out
crime doesn’t pay
Down and out
learning the hard way

Metal & Gold Teeth

She’s got metal & gold teeth
She was a millionaire
Walking down the old street
with her sophisticated air
From the nineteenth century
with a laser guided stare
She’s got metal & gold teeth
She was a millionaire
She won’t tolerate cold feet
She’s either here or she’s there
You can find her on old street
electro-plasmic footwear
She’ll explode if you misspeak
neo human software in disrepair
She’s got metal and gold teeth.
She’s a millionaire
She is the one who
sits in the park and feeds all the birds
but the birds aren’t birds
they’re robot birds & they don’t eat bread
and so she feeds them teeth instead
She comes & she goes. Metal & Gold

I can see through the clay walls
Up through the clouds
into another beautiful day
Not just another grey Vancouver
its a grey grey day so lets play play...
Lets paint this grey city red today
We’re painting this holiday
Sure I may be on the couch,
but returns aren’t diminishing
ammunition ain’t finishing
we keep on firing & they keep on dying
covering the walls in blood...but
no one’s dying and no ones crying
cause it’s just a video game,
It’s just a video game
we’re playing this holiday

Grab a glass; pull up a chair
let down your guard let down your hair
let me pour you want some more?
don't be shy little fly
there’s plenty for you & plenty for I
eat all you want its all you can eat,
please keep on eating till you cant leave your seat
What's inside? what have I imbibed?
did I just drink insecticide?
Did you give me poison?
now don’t be coy son?
did you just prescribe pesticide
at an attempt of regicide?
give it to me straight
what did I just take
come on and tell me my fate is it too late?
Child we dine in style; tonight we dine in style.
From this night forth we're undefined, be free &smile.
The King is dead; long live the king
gather close my new friends & sing
but don't drink the wine, it’s turpentine
lets honor the monarch,
the tyrant godfather
for now we are free of the torment & slaughter
Child we dine in style tonight we dine in style.
From this night forth we're undefined, be free & smile.
Dearly Beloved,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
We are thinking of you during this most difficult time. Our warmest condolences. Knowing that we are remembering and honoring the memory of dear King Quincy. We share comfort knowing he is no longer suffering. May your hear & soul find peace and loving memories we forever hold in our hearts.
Amen.
Let’s eat.

I’d like to take you to the hospital
Don't want to be a bother I don't feel that anything's wrong
I really thing you need to go
OK I’ll give you my consent
We’ll take a ride in an ambulance
Oh cool I’ve always wanted to do that
Then this is really starting to make sense.
Yeah right come on everybody lets go
Hey! Hey! You only got one life to live
Hey look we’re pulling up to emergency
What exactly are they going to do to me
The doctors & nurses will be sweet you’ll see.
Will they sew me up when they’re through with me
Let’s say its better to be safe than sorry
OK please help me up into the gurney
I’m tryin dude but you’re 200 plus &
over SIX foot frickin’ three
Hey! Hey! You only got one life to live

Stuck Alone; Never go home.
Over the Kraken bones and skull cobble stone
technodrone, tri-coloured stone.
Find a piece of this,
find a piece of that
Take this thing here.
Put it in with those other things...
Maybe built salvation
Maybe built my own nightmare
Gotta get up. Get out. Build a Rocket Ship.
Stretch out the sling shot
release and breech the atmosphere
reach for the ducktape
tear off a piece
and start making repairs...
hole in my glove
wont get me home.
if im going to really save pluto
I’ve got to get this winebeggo home..
Maybe built salvation
Maybe built my own nightmare
Gotta get up. Get out. Get right out of here.

Bear Attack

In the woods wandering alone at night
There go the batteries to my
flashlight in my cellphone
Sun set too quick, run a bit,
trying to git to my car
before its too dark
before it’s too late
before it’s too far
Watch out it’s a bear attack!
Get down it’s a bear attack!
Play dead it’s a bear attack!
#%&@ you it’s a bear attack!
Mama bear ate her share and
dragged me back to a cave where
boy and girl, baby bears
ate me up all over again.
Watch out it’s a bear attack!
Get down it’s a bear attack!
Play dead it’s a bear attack!
#%&@ you it’s a bear attack!
Dragging myself to safety.

Back on Earth but Not on Dirt
Sodium Chloride Hydrogen Dioxide
Pressures Building Loosing atmosphere
Sinking deeper Seeing water Seeping
Winnebago & the ducktape better persevere
A light down there like a pipedream beaming
Advanced tech ahead by light years
Need to know with whom he’s dealing
Quite the show playing his worst fears
From her Geodesic Dome
He gets a sinking feeling.
Got a bad feeling - That’s what she said
Odd sensation, something familiar
That’s no moon, flying through the air lock
Smashing triangles glass and steel
Come to a Halt! Stop! Hey! He’s in Bioshock!
Surrounded Surrounded by all the lacky’s
Underwater Adventure Series
Please won’t you introduce yourselves
Tells him she’s the scientists daughter
She want’s vengance - She’s his daughter!
