On A Rainy Nite

1.
Seems like just yesterday I was dreaming about 2morrow & it feels like everyday I gotta beg & steal & borrow Oh nite, where have U been Good morning Let's spin again & all the road side signs Seem 2 point into indifference Cos everywhere I go Is just another point of reference Oh nite, where have U been Good morning Let's spin again Now it's autumn Soon it's winter Then it will be spring Every day another splinter Oh nite, where have U been Good morning Let's spin again

Say a prayer 2 the angels They're the monsters in the light Sing a hymn 2 the dragons As their fury shows at nite & all I need 2 know It all went wrong & all I need 2 glow Is the strangest song Giving alms 2 the spiders & the bats that haunt the autumn wind All the spirits of the tree tops Standing still only 2 bend & all I need 2 know It all went wrong & all I need 2 glow Is the strangest song Oh the glory of rust A whole new story written in the dust & all I need 2 know It all went wrong & all I need 2 glow Is the strangest song

The Tourist 02:42
I wanna face the sun In the rain & mud Don't wanna see the stars Just need the light of cars Don't wanna waste my time on life Just wanna pass on by like a tourist Don't got no time 2 be Be anything I dream Cos all my fantasies Look like reality Don't wanna waste my time on life Just wanna pass on by like a tourist It's a challenge 2 work my way 2 death It's astounding 2 realize I'm not there yet I wanna watch the sun Sink into the sun I wanna watch the traffic Sit in the trash & plastic Don't wanna waste my time on life Just wanna pass on by like a tourist

On occasion sometimes dreams Old vacations in new themes Worries following along Spoken word that kicks the song Oh I need 2 testify my lord So that law won't put me 2 the sword Different textiles 4 the mills Roads that take the place of hills Thinking long & hard 2 stop Buy my soul back as I shop Oh I need 2 testify my lord So your law won't put me 2 the sword So I swear allegiance 2 your real-estate The rules that bind the game The cruel & narrow gate Oh I need 2 testify my lord So your law won't put me 2 your sword Oh I need 2 testify my lord Sing your praise so U wont' draw your sword

I've got a little bit of courage When it doesn't matter I try not 2 discourage On a silver platter Now the rainy smoke Is sweeping over Now the the pain's a joke Oops, the day is over I see mountains in the mud Next 2 parking lots I've got visions of a flood Plastic river shots Now the rainy smoke Is sweeping over Now the the pain's a joke Oops, the day is over Let's channel all the fear Into a smiley face veneer Give a get well card 2 all Brand new jobs b4 the fall 1 more day 2 stay Now the rain & the mud Shaped into our houses All the stains & all the crud Are our suits & blouses Now the rainy smoke Is sweeping over Now the the pain's a joke Oops, the day is over

Sometimes wonderful Sometimes grand Mountains of molehills & oceans of sand Towers in the background Beauty on the hills Scroung'n 4 the baseline Lookin' 4 my pills Each new day is a dreadful beast Sometimes less isn't more at least Checkers in the bathtub Poker when I shop Slide'n past the algo Clock'n 2 a stop Wonder where the day went Wonder if I'll sink Titanic by the windmills It's over if U blink Each new day is a dreadful beast Sometimes less isn't more at least Slow down I want off & I'll hold out 4 the brand new drop In a showdown I'm the last 2 draw Hunt'n 4 the papers while you're check'n out my flaws Each new day is a dreadful beast Sometimes less isn't more at least

Free 2 bring a bagged lunch Free 2 pay the bills Free 2 buy some more gas Free 2 check my will Freedom 4 the fences Freedom 4 my toast Freedom 4 the breadlines Freedom 2 like & then repost It's a system of choices pre-made It's a system of voiceless parades I'm free 2 make some choices I'm free 2 buy all that I need I'm free 2 make U money I'm free 2 work until I bleed Liberty 2 work 2 the slow death Liberty 2 set the clock Liberty 2 be my own sell Liberty 2 join the flock It's a system of choices pre-made It's a system of voiceless parades Time is our only resource Borrow & beg 4 remorse 1 more long day just 2 get through We're sharing it all especially U It's a system of choices pre-made It's a system of voiceless parades
8.
The longest intermission & the shortest entropy The silence of the spaces Filled with cold machinery The tally 4 the race where The horse & hare compete Satellite communication 2 decide which 1 is meat In another life we R spared From the double lines of the circle squared All the fixtures & the lightbulbs Paragliding 2 dissolve Into wistful narration Where the ending can't resolve Only over underneath it Do we find the chance 2 be Slower than the autumn thunder Lost within the smallest sea In another life we R spared From the double lines of the circle squared Chances R slim Odds R a loss A toss up & a whim 2 divide the double-cross In another life we R spared From the double lines of the circle squared

Give U what U want out of spite Crush U cos this might just might be right Redemption 2 the herd out on the ledge Salvation 2 the cause U must pledge Somehow imitation has replaced just homage Cos now information has replaced all knowledge Bring U roses made of paper & trash Use the thorns 2 double 4 the rehash See no value in the value of culture A golden calf made in the shape of a smiling vulture Somehow imitation has replaced just homage Cos now information has replaced all knowledge We'd leave the 99 to get the 1 Cos individually scares the shit out of us Somehow imitation has replaced just homage Cos now information has replaced all knowledge

Game In Play 02:35
Chaos is the drug of choice Spectacle the new Rolls-Royce Click bait fodder 4 the mob AI art 2 fuck the job Hold on It's slipping away Hold on it's a game in play Ambition towards the pinnacle Love of self the golden rule Pep talks 4 the decadent Tax breaks 4 the petulant Hold on It's slipping away Hold on it's a game in play A shiny city on a hill Built by plunder & destruction Just wait until Hold on It's slipping away Hold on it's a game in play

Lately I've been looking higher Waiting 4 a dance of fire On a rainy nite On a rainy nite On a rainy nite I feel the light Showtime I feel it coming Sometimes I 4get 4 nothing On a rainy nite On a rainy nite On a rainy nite I feel the light Change course Go there Flying home From nowhere On a rainy nite On a rainy nite On a rainy nite I feel the light
