Dreaming in color of copper and robbers and creatures that lurk under rocks that lay under the leaves Drawing ink blotters for vamps and marauders in turbulent water in days when the seasons agree In Dreams in Color Blue painted ladies with screaming young babies dance on the waves of a seascape of lemon and green Question and answer from Leo and Cancer Shrieks from loud speakers that hang from a cloud by a string In Dreams in Color Forests and prairies with dark dignitaries roll off the red tongue of a tern with umbrellas for wings Sphinx in tuxedo and mimes incognito Wizards and wolves and the wise ones we fail to see In Dreams in Color - Dreams in Color

I'm the star that sears your tongue while your ashtray overflows I'm the arsonist that leers while poking pinholes in your clothes I'm the dead lamps in your eyes while the blood drips from your nose I'm the sickness in your kitchen ~ I am your addiction Oh no! I am your addiction! Oh no! I'm the days of your life that you never will back I'm the hammer in your heart in your anxiety attacks I'm the tyrant who controls both your money and your soul I am your addiction and I've come to take my toll Oh no! I am your addiction! Look out for sickness in your kitchen! Oh no! I am your addiction! Oh no! I'm the master of your mind and that fork wedged in your road I'm the yellow in your eyes [Try to replace me!] I'm the resin that clogs while setting fires in your throat I'm the gators in your moat [Face me! Replace me!] Phantomizing flames while you're screaming out my name Here I come again! [Replace me, if you can!] I'm your days and your nights both not ever to return I am your addiction ~ Crush me and you'll learn Oh no! I am your addiction! Oh no! I am your addiction!

Rock, paper, scissors: Which or these are you? The one that holds the key? Or floats in any sea? Or the one that's cutting loose? Cut it loose! Sword, pen, or periscope: Which one would you choose? The one that wins the coup? Or writes down every clue? Are you a probing eye for truth? There's a man of men who wanders with an air of Mother Goose “The key”, he said, “is hidden in your head... ...You just have to close your eyes and set it loose” Set it loose! Now that we had this discussion and we all know who is who Do we need to sense a force to rise against? Or be happy where we are? Where we are!

I learned today a simple way to be celebrity Just hang my dirty laundry out on nationwide TV A television studio's a place I've never been The public eye just loves a guy who's sordid and obscene Soon you'll see my ugly face on White Trash TV I'm not too bright - I love to fight while people cheer me on The tabloid paparazzi started camping on my lawn I think I saw on L.A. Law I should get royalties A seven-digit figure should be written out to me I'm the star of Season Three on White Trash TV Hey, Ma! Hey, Pa! Get a load of me Hey, Pa! Hey, Ma! On every TV screen I rehearsed for four whole days (but drank for twenty-three) My greasy chin and black-toothed grin and bloated face On White Trash TV I'm the star of Season Three Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na! Wheeeee! Hey, Ma! Hey, Pa! The camera sure loves me Tell Gramps and Grandma I'm star of Season Three Tell Aunt Jenn and Uncle Clem to turn on their TV My episode's in syndicate on White Trash TV Wheeeee! Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na!

Electricity 03:43
You're the light I see when you flash your high beams on And I'm the bullhorn blare from the shocking Babylon You're the dynamite ~ I'm the fuse you light And if I wasn't so romantic I could shock you now Illuminate the rubies in your crown with your electricity Between you and me ~ Electricity I'm your electric eel when I squeeze your hi-watt love And you're the lightning storm that rages high above If I wasn't so protected you could shock me now Oscillate the opals in my crown with your electricity In you and in me ~ Electricity You're the flashbulb burn when you click your cameras on And I'm the Marshall blast that cuts through every song If I wasn't so distracted I could love you now And you have powers only you can show

A voyageur without a name ~ Man meets world in a cyclone swirl In webs of icy chains no one wants to fade away Don't want their face on a paper on the bottom of every budgie cage The human race is racing after rabbits not worth chasing Are we all afraid of change? A feast of modern day ~ A schemer's scheme, headlines scream how man has lost his way ~ [He writes a wicked play] What are we supposed to do? Fall then pray for angels, too [Remove this mushroom cloud that follows him around] Or dream of happy endings? Are there happy endings? Until then nothing seems to change Guess it takes a different kind of dreamer Guess it takes a different kind of plan Everybody loves to scorn the dreamer Everybody loves to dog the man What a wicked world today ~ Twisted views in madman's shoes Call all the shots today ~ People are afraid of change What's it take to clear the slate and minimize the pain? Schemers keep on scheming ~ Dreamers keep on dreaming How and why? There must be a better way Guess it takes a different kind of dreamer Guess it takes a different kind of man Everybody loves to scorn the dreamer Everybody wants to see his hands

T Shirt 03:19
You want to fly this big balloon Trampoline across a great lagoon You want to gather all the moons Sorry, sonny, been there, done it Tell ya, honey, been there, done it Forget it, people, been there, done it You want to eat the sweetest pie You want to buy up all the skies Bullwhip DeSade and make him cry I can't relate, I been there, done it Once then twice, I been there, done it, got the T-Shirt Been there, done it, got the T-Shirt You want to close the biggest deal You want the world to bring you meals You'd shoot Achilles in the heel Sorry, sonny, been there, done it Tell ya, honey, been there, done it Made the money, been there, done it, got the T-Shirt I can't relate, I been there, done it Once or twice, I been there, done it Win at dice, I been there, done and got the T-Shirt

Green Tea 04:19
I drank the silt from poison streams Sopped up toxins from the leaves Lived and died for centuries Then mellowed out on herbal tea One for you ~ One for me The flame lost its glow but the poetry flowed like clear running stream Got back to where I planted trees I took in all the air they breathed Remembered all I used to be ~ Child of the Seventies Forgot all I knew to make room for the new It came back to me Found that angel of my dreams ~ Maiden of the Seventies I lived another life again from here in all her pretty things With wings on our chairs and our long flowing hair We’ll see all again and we’ll hear all again Settle down in '33 and rub the bruises we can’t see

Megaphonic voice and dead electric toys come to life again They set up little camps ~ blow up your power plants And so the rage begins Wicked deeds by evil jerks ~ Their scare tactics won't work It seems a single man controls the battle plans His country to defend While half a world away we got a mess today And so the end begins Wicked deeds get just desserts ~ Your scare tactics won't work Scare tactics won't work ~ Scare tactics The news is bad today ~ There is a price today It's down to you and me They break up families and send them overseas We stand on guard for thee ~ yeah! There goes another round ~ Let's do a body count Desensitized and crazed There goes a land in spoils, painted in blood and oil Another mother prays Pure evil ~ Pure jerks ~ Your scare tactics won't work Your scare tactics won't work ~ Your scare tactics won't work

Inform your dearest loved ones that you won't be home tonight Conductor clad in sleek black leather ~ Band in overdrive Everyone will go in pairs ~ 20,000 Fred Estaires Masquerade and jive Everyone will frolic in this blitz of levity Fantasy in everyone's disguise Conga line by Gunga Jim ~ Everyone hooks onto him He's a wild and crazy guy ~ It's an orgy for your eyes So for now forget the dancing and start unmasking for the Great 11th Act They’ll be rolling out the jesters on the shiny, checkered squares Open up the cask of '65 The band got hate songs you'll love to hate And love songs you'll hate to love Megaphones, speaker cones, all of the above Take yourself a sample of your royal just dessert Someone stuffed some silly pills inside the grand hors d'oeurves Maximus Lolitas prattle near the Marshall stacks Soon they'll be unmasking for the Great 11th Act Now forget the dancing and start unmasking for the Great 11th Act
