Fire In The Sky

Roswell New Mexico
The army found a UFO
Fire in the sky
Travis Walton went bye bye
Hey boys take a detector
No lies said the inspector
Way up the Allagash
Foltzy gave it a flash
Watch the craft from the shore
Now they're missing time
And much more

Ghost Town - Wikiloops Jam 124349 Bhunt
It's a sleepy town with creepy little secrets
Secrets everybody knows but no one talks about
Like the top floor of Joe's diner is haunted
No one's been brave enough to go up there in years
But from time to time the spirits will cause a stir
It's a ghost town
But people still live here
Ghost town
People won't leave
It's a sleepy town with creepy little secrets
Secrets everybody knows but no one talks about
Jennie's an old gal lives by herself in a rundown shack edge of town
Abducted by a UFO as a child and a couple of her friends saw it happen
But when she came back she was shunned and mocked
Cause people get scared of what they don't understand
It's a ghost town
But people still live here
Ghost town
People won't leave
It's a sleepy town with creepy little secrets
Secrets everybody knows but no one talks about
Like Doug our town cop gives drunk drivers a ride home and a warning
Cause he's a little too fond of the sauce himself
His father used to beat him black and blue when he was a boy
Everybody knew but his Dad was the town cop
The job fell to him but he should have left his inheritance behind
Cause there are hauntings and there are hauntings

Sasquatch
02:32
|

|
Walking in the mountains
Remote as I could be
I glimpsed something moving
Something that shouldn't be
Peeking through the branches
Peering round the trees
It was brown and shaggy
And looking back at me
Taller than a totem
Reclusive as Howard Hughs
In the midnight hours
He's howling at the moon
If they ever caught one they'd put it in a zoo
If they ever caught one you know just what they'd do
If they ever caught one they'd put in in a zoo
If they ever - you know exactly what they'd do
So if you're ever out
Walking in them woods
And stumble on a Sasquatch
Do exactly what you should
Cover up them tracks
And leave em all alone
Don't even take a picture
Don't talk when you get home

Vampires and Werewolves
03:49
|
|||
|
Vampires and werewolves roaming in the night
All sorts of creatures who shy away from light
They'll get you while you're dreaming
They'll get you when you wake
If you let your guard down well that's bad mistake
Warlocks and witches working on their spells
Their bitter potions drawn from a deep dark well
They've get you while you're napping
They'll get you if you nod
They're working to get even
If you should find them odd
Those ghouls and ghosts causing so much static
You can't get no sleep for the racket in the attic
They'll get you while you're listening
They'll get you while you look
They'll get you if you're naughty
They won't let you off the hook
Greys and reptilians from the skies above
You have to pick your poison when push comes to shove
They'll get you when you're driving
They'll get you where you sleep
They're going to leave their implants
They're going to take you deep

Time Machine 2

Sunny days of my youth calling back to me
Sunny days of my youth calling back to me
Hopped in to
Hopped in to
Hopped in to
My time machine
Everything went blurry
Everything went gray
Years rushed by in reverse
Winding me back to those days
My town shrank to half its size
I peered hard through the haze
Everything that I could see
Was living breathing history
All my long gone family
Were right there in front of me
Everything that I could see
Was walking talking history
All my long gone family
Standing right in front of me
Hopped in to
Hopped in to
Hopped in to
My time machine
Everything that I could see
Was living breathing history
All my long gone family
Were right there in front of me
Everything that I could see
Was walking talking history
All my long gone family
Standing right in front of me
Do what you have to
Do what you have to
Hopped in to
Hopped in to
Hopped in to
My time machine

Rise Up
02:02
|

|
Once more hiding under your covers
Can't say it's much of a plan
You try running from trouble
Stick your head back in the sand
You try to whistle a new tune
You work to forge a new script
You're the star of your own movie
You're going down down with the ship
You live on a hope and a prayer
You live on a tired old dream
You live with the stars in your eyes
You live on a moonbeam
You're losing your grip you're losing control
You're losing the game you're losing the flow
Oh my word where did the time go
Sold your soul for silver and gold
Rise up

Zombie War

|
No matter where you go
No matter what you try
The world's a dangerous place
Billions now have died
No matter what you do
No matter where you hide
If you take a chance
It's zombie suicide
They're stumbling around
Don't know where to go
But if they get a whiff
It's a zombie show
They shamble in Armani
Stuff brains inside Dior
Vacant faces glued to phones
Romero's zombie war

Digging A Hole
03:26

Dig A Hole
Couldn't take it no more
Started digging a hole
No one paid attention
Till it started to grow
Neighbours dropping in asked
What you digging for
Said he had enough
He was digging it for the poor
Soon he's in the papers
Cause that hole was getting deep
Just a man and his shovel
The sides were so so steep
The official grabbed the photo op
Umbrella in the rain
One man was slicked with mud
And the other claimed to feel his pain
Now it's on the telly
Copters overhead
Way down there on the bottom
No one heard a single word he said
The senators grew nervous
The President displeased
Why'd this dude keep on digging
Must be diseased
The heart of the Pentagon
Top of the general's list
That mans so far gone he's
A radical terrorist
It took one precision strike
And all around the earth shook
That hole disappeared
Nobody could bear to look
But something strange is happening
Across the countryside
Every one is digging holes
No one knows the reason why

The Stranger

The Stranger
The fog enshrouds the street
Like the mists of time
The stranger walks amongst us
Plotting his next crime
His mind's a nest of snakes
Twisting and entwined
With a deep abiding hate
A coal seam set on fire
They fear him in Whitechapel
Black trail of gory deeds
The Yard couldn't catch him
He's the slippriest of breeds
Headlines read the ripper
Perhaps Dr. Tumblety
But they will never catch him
Cause he's got a time machine
Murders sell the papers
And blood it always leads
Spawns shouts and cries for justice
Cause violence always feeds
These souls we lay to rest
Can never find their peace
They haunt us with their stirrings
Their cries will never cease
So call him Jack the Ripper
Call him Genghis Khan
Call him Adolph Hitler
Call him Mao Zedong
The Stranger sails time's river
He comes to every age
And people sing his praises
When he strides upon the stage
He's the stranger
He's the stranger

searching for my self-control
searching for my intuition
searching for I don't know
searching for the power of love
searching for a great sign
searching for the one above
searching for the right time

My Childhood Friends

All my childhood friends
Came to me in dream
Come along old boy
Were going to the stream
of consciousness
of consciousness
of consciousness
Spool of tape upon the reel
As shadows cross the screen
All my friends up on the stage
Fluid in my dream
Here in the slow motion rewind
Here in the slow motion rewind
All my childhood friends
Sitting by the stream
Won't you join us old boy
In this lovely dream
of consciousness
of consciousness
of consciousness
The littered leaves strewn down on memory lane
The remnants of our summers the sounds of all our games
We're splashing in the pool running through the fields
We're wearing out our runners and showing what we feel
All my childhood friends
Sitting by the stream
Won't you join us old boy
In this lovely dream
of consciousness
of consciousness
of consciousness
Come along old boy
We've been waiting all along
Come along old boy
We've got your favourite song

Sweet Fame

It's Elvis on the stage
Ali stinging like a bee
It's neon and it's kitchy
It's the Beatles in the sixties
Sweet fame
It's a pouff of cotton candy
A pink bouffant hairdo
It's neon and it's kitchy
It's the Beatles in the sixties
Sweet fame
It's hordes of shrieking monkeys
It's Jesus on the cross
It's neon and it's kitchy
It's the Beatles in the sixties
Sweet fame
It's prickly and it's bitchy
It's the Beatles in the sixties
Sweet fame
It's Marilyn in her dress
It's Brando and James Dean
It's Scarface and cocaine
It's Eduard Munch's Scream
It's prickly and it's bitchy
It's the Beatles in the sixties
Sweet fame

Where Did It All Go Wrong - Wikiloops Jam 124082 Brian Hunt
I'm a one of a kind looperman
These same mistakes again and again
I'm hooped as I loop around this wheel
It's hell and it's hades but that's the deal
(Refrain)
Say where did it all go wrong
When I find out I'm gonna put it in a song
I promise I promise that i can change
But over and over i stay the same
From a child to a man and back again
Read the lines on my face what they portend
(Refrain)
When am I ever going to learn
I cross my bridges and watch em burn
Start to finish and then reverse
First to last and best to worst
(Refrain)
A Groundhog Day that never never ends
From enemies to friends and back again
Expand and collapse and collapse and expand
Say the same things again and again
(Refrain)

My Dog Surfs
02:54

My dog loves to surf
My K9 hangs 10
People say my dog's cool
He really captures them
That blue fur's all natural
It's as blue as the waves
He's on the swell and living well
It's how he spends his days
My dog surfs
My dog surfs
But some loud mouthed dudes say dogs aren't meant to surf
They want him on a leash and kept on solid turf
My dog loves to surf
My K9 hangs 10
His bottom turns can't be beat
He hits it with his fin
A goofy foot duck diver
He lives for the thrills
Living in the ocean surf
Like he's grown some gills
But some loud mouthed dudes say dogs aren't meant to surf
They want him on a leash and kept on solid turf
Solo
My dog surfs, baby
My dog surfs

Poor Old Thomas Knickle

Poor old Thomas Knickle
Found himself in a pickle
Steppin out with Trudi
Who turned out to be fickle
She loved him hard on a Tuesday
Then tossed him on a blue day
Found her with some boys
Playing with all of their toys
Poor old Thomas Knickle
Tried to go celibate
If only for the hell of it
And for peace of mind
Cain't get hurt with no valentine
But something in his calculus
His quest to avoid distress
Left him feeling less and less
Soon found himself emotionless
So feeling kind of foolish
He crawled on back to Trudie
Confessed he luved her truly
But she remained unruly
See all her gentlemen callers
Gave her what cain't be tote in dollars
So the logic follers
That poor ol' Thomas Knickle
Was always in a pickle
Do do do do do do do
Shoulda stayed celibate
If only for the helluvait
Settled for peace of mind
Cain't get hurt with no valentine

In sugarland
Life is sweet
The sugar cube man
Passes out the treats
Here in sugarland
You can find the candyman
Strolls down candylane
With his candycane
(Chorus)
Hit your bliss point
Hit your bliss point
Hit your bliss point
In the pleasure zone
(Repeat)
On dessert island
Settled by the pie men
Everything's so tasty
And everyone is pasty
Out in the sugar sticks
They got the sugar fix
For broken candy hearts
A poultice of maple tarts
Even television
Is an icing sugar vision
Every single show
Has a candycoated glow
(Chorus)
Hit your bliss point
Hit your bliss point
Hit your bliss point
In the pleasure zone
(Repeat)
You sugar crashed
Your candy red car
They locked up you in jail
Behind those chocolate bars
The candy people sigh
Off on their sugar highs
And when they nod to sleep
Their dreaming of more treats
The mayor of Candytown
Is always half baked
He told the bureaucrats
To let em all eat cake
Hit your bliss point
Hit your bliss point
Hit your bliss point
In the pleasure zone
