THE REPTILE QUEEN (fox trot) Forestville CA 1 Nov 2000
I seduced the Reptile Queen, or maybe she seduced me
I caressed her Reptile skin, or maybe she caressed me
I conquered her reptile breast, or maybe she conquered me
--
[chorus] You never know what's real with the Reptile Queen (2x)
--
The Reptile Queen stared in my eyes, told me her story
The Reptile Queen sat on my face, sat on my glory
The Reptile Queen showed her skills, showed her sorcery
[chorus]
--
I try to worship the Reptile Queen, or maybe she worships me
I try to devour the Reptile Queen, or maybe she devours me
The Reptile Queen burns bright & cold, like flames on the sea
[chorus]
--
The Reptile Queen fills my hours, she fills my days
The Reptile Queen bombards me with neutrons, with gamma rays
The Reptile Queen drives my passion down infinite highways
[chorus]
LOOK INSIDE (hypno-trance) Forestville CA 3 Nov 2000
[A multi-layered song, composed of fragments, modules, in staggered times,
all of'em fairly fast, 1/8 notes, some in 7/8, 6/8, 11/8; 9/8 predominates;
lyrics on the order of:]
Look inside a little universe
Look inside yourself instead, instead]
Look inside a bigger universe
Look inside the living dead, living dead
Look inside a little system (uh)
Look inside a little drug-dealer
Look outside a bigger system (uh)
Look inside your motives, your motives
[et cetera]
[Work on various texts like that, on each of these modules, so they run
serially, and then start overlaying them, see if I can construct a method
giving fairly pleasant harmonies, or at least not-too-awful harmonies, heh.]
[And after those have played for a bit, take them, fade them slightly into
background, and overlay a much slower, 1/2-speed or 2/3-speed subtext on
the order of:]
You can lie to me / You can lie to yourself
But it doesn't do much good
[And whispered variants of that slow counterpoint throughout.]
A LITTLE WIRE (rocker) Hilton, CA 6 Nov 2000
I've got a little wire in my brain, in my brain, in my brain
The way I'm rigged up now I feel no pain feel no pain feel no pain
My friends all wonder if I've gone insane, gone insane, gone insane
I sure love this wire in my brain, in my brain, in my brain
--
I've got a little implant in my head, in my head, in my head
I don't see light, I see bright sounds instead, sounds instead
I listen to the living and the dead, and the dead, and the dead
I love this glowing wire in my head, in my head, in my head
--
[break] I like my little implant chip, it makes me feel really hip
It makes me think that you're a dip, dip-da-doo-doo, dip-da-doo-doo
--
I've got the latest mind-control, mind-control, mind-control
It's totally automated my soul, my soul, my soul, my soul
I'm ready to rock, I'm ready to roll, roll, roll, roll, roll
I sure do love my mind-control, mind-control, mind-control
--
[break] Don't need no long-term deep hypnosis
Don't need no subliminal posies, no magic roses
Just gimmee a jolt and I goes, and I goes, and I goes, and I goes...
--
[repeat the first verse]
I'M SO HAPPY (techno-rocker) Hilton, CA 6 Nov 2000
I'm so happy, happy
(repeated 873 times, with technobeat & varying degrees of modulation & intensity,
from a slight whisper to an agonized scream - I'm so happy, happy, happy...)
ANOTHER RITUAL (Like A Dream) GODZ [hypnojazz guitar] Forestville 8 Nov 2000
[a] Like a dream / Like a clue
Just a scream / Just a few
Just a faint banshee's song
Rituals do go wrong
Like a dream
--
[a] Like a hope / Like a wreck
Just a hope / Just a neck
Just a fair sacrifice
Lost in the broken ice
Like a dream
--
[b] Who did you drown in amber?
What did you hope to conjure?
Who'd you put on your altar?
Did you en-joy the torture?
--
[instrumental]
--
[a] Like a fire / Like a flood
Just desire / Just some blood
Just continuity / In perpetuity
Like a dream
WONDERING [E-A-G6-F#7 waltz] FV & Santa Rosa CA 13-14 Nov 2000
It's 3 in the morning, you quit masturbating
An hour ago / you're just lying and waiting
Wondering if I'll ever come home tonight
Wondering if I'll ever be back
--
It's 4 in the morning, there's screams out the window
The fire trucks are here, everybody yells, "Jump! Jump!"
Wondering if there's an ice-storm tonight
Wondering if there's an shit-storm
--
It's 5 in the morning, the vampire's returning
The hunting was bood, the lips are so rosy
Wondering about the next epidemic
Wondering about the next plague
--
It's 6 in the morning, you can't get to sleep
There's something that gnaws at your memory again
Wondering where all the life went, life went
Wondering where all the time went
BARBARIAN (hip-hop) Forestville CA 18 Nov 2000
[from the soundtrack for CONAN THE CRUSTACEAN]
It ain't so easy, being a barbarian
Ya don't benefit from modern sanitation
Ya might get sick from a TB vaccination
Yer kinda weak on urban sophistication
Yer easy meat for the Bureau of Investigation
Yer lost at sea, no celestial navigation
--
Ya don't care if ya got a good reputation
Ya can't tell the esturine from the riparian
Ya gotta get sewed up by a veterinarian
Ya waste yer time masturbating a cetacean
Ya lost yer Mama in a careless conflagration
Ya never came back from Woodstock Nation
--
Ya can't tell an atheist from a Unitarian
Yer busted hunting squid in the Monterrey Aquarium
Ya thought when ya cut her it was just a Caesarian
Ya can't tell reality from virtual sensation
Ya can't resolve a vicarious vexation
Ya never went on a cultural vacation
--
Ya don't comprehend illegal fornication
There's no retirement benefits for being a barbarian
Ya can't tell if you're swallowing Strontium or Cesium
Yer blood runs cold when you hear the word 'trapezium'
It ain't so easy, being a barbarian
It ain't so easy, being a barbarian
PECULIAR Forestville CA 29 Nov 2000
A peculiar lover of logic and learning
A peculiar lover of dragons and worms
A peculiar kisser, a killer, a keeper

[chorus] Peculiar you, peculiar me, peculiar we
-
A probable cause, a likely result
A peculiar demon of fire and frenzy
A particular torture I barely remember [chorus]
-
A partial rebirth of some partial paradise
A partial remembrance of daring and dance
A partial rebuilding of lost universes [chorus]

I'll cuddle with you and your hot little dog [chorus x2]

A MAN IS SPEAKING TO HIS DOG Forestville CA 19 Dec 2000
A man is speaking to his dog / His dog is looking up at him
The man is gesturing boldly / The dog is licking his balls
The man intones stark imperatives / The dog scratches at fleas
-
A man is speaking to his dog / The dog is peering up at him
The man denounces his enemies / The dog wriggles on his back
The man hangs his head and weeps / His dog is humping his leg
-
A man is speaking to his dog / A dog is squinting up at him
The man regrets lost opportunities / The dog is worrying a bone
The man thunders his defiance / The dog is pissing on a rock
-
A man is speaking to his dog / Dog dog is listening blankly
The man whispers fervent prayers / The dog rolls over and farts
The man enumerates his plans / The dog lies still on the floor
-
A man is speaking to his dog
A man is speaking to his dog
A man is speaking to his dog
