Oriental Jar 05:39
I dropped the old coin too hard in the Oriental Jar Now a Buddah’s coming at me Large! I’ll tell you what can go to your head Some structures of electrical plants And a circus tent that catches the wind Yeah, it was animated…

My hands become tracered arrows Telephone is a philm in upper rayz You know time never changes… Silver-filled Father’s eyes His head back slow He’s smiling… Stop Check your watch For some of you it might have stopped Or time just got lost! We’re in a new age of silver Something’s coming coming through in upper rayz You know time never changes… Silver-filled Father’s eyes His head back slow He’s smiling… Stop Check your watch For some of you it might have stopped Or time just got lost!

God Of Rain 03:01
You know the Dragon is the God of Rain He made Cherry blossoms turn into snow white storks They were flying when they heard a war… You know the Dragon is the God of Rain He made Cherry blossoms turn into snow white storks They were flying when they heard a war… You know Ron he’s into kerosene He made merry autumns turn into a foam ark…

Kooper Pills 03:10
I’m thinking back to ’88 That’s when I took flight Then ’89 went by with a smile… Then to ’90 mind logged on to something making my friends feel real long We were logging onto higher times We watched them flying by with a smile Then in ’95 life was on the rise I remember it with a wider smile We’re logging on to higher times We’re logging on to higher times I’m thinking back to ’88 That’s when I took flight Then ’89 went by with a smile Kooper Pills/Right on time! Kooper Pills/Right on time! Kooper Pills/Right on time!

Star Life on the bus that takes us to our classes and work And when you get on you know that past days are gone Star Flight on the bus that takes us to a Supernova The new plan is on but the crash vents are gone! And then you take that tight tight explosion I guess we’ll see you when your mind gets home Then you see that Life is the chemicals, man… Once while on the bus I saw the recipe for us Written on some old man’s notes I could feel it turn my eyes to gold Once you’re on the bus you feel that gravity give up You leave your only lonely road for places you could never have known And then you take that tight tight explosion I guess we’ll see you when your mind gets home Then you see that Life is the chemicals, man

At The Party 02:44
Monday on my way to work Scenes are bubbling to the surface It’s no longer just a far away party Now my life is like a headline story We were smoking California cigars in the back yard I don’t remember much after that… I don’t remember what we did with the candles But I remember really making Champagne I put my whiskey in a wine glass and called it champagne He put his whiskey in a wine glass and called it champagne! We were smoking California cigars in the back yard I don’t remember much after that… You stepped into the cloud around me Stepped into my cloud of sparks Did you hear my lighter or watch Sometimes I light it up in the dark We were smoking California cigars in the back yard I don’t remember much after that… Monday on my way to work Scenes are bubbling to the surface Scenes are bubbling to the surface

I was up late and I was thinking… Jewels, Silver and Gold I’d been to see the man who has parks and he was very old He said, “I’ve got days. Remember running with your younger friends. And, I’ve got your days. Summer’s coming and I want in it.” I was up late and I was thinking… Jewels, Silver and Gold I’d been to see the man who has parks and he was very old He said, “ I’ve got that day. Remember someone. Feel their feel their other hand! I’ve got that day. Tell me something if you want in it.” I was up late and I was thinking… Jewels, Silver and Gold I’d been to see the man who has parks and he was very old…

MODA, God, Robot Mother I’m asking this of you because your vast technology will be rolling on long after I am gone Unless you take my mind Refine it Then fill my body with elastic glue And then replace my organs with permanent organs Yesterday, I wasn’t like you... MODA, God, you Soldier Trucker what will happen in your future war Will this be the time I should come alive to cover while you’re moving the bomb Now I’m seeing through MODA eyes Things are flashing like lights inside me Now this is useful during serious wars ‘cause I can be up above them MODA, God, you Soldier Trucker what will happen during Nuclear war Will this be the time I should come alive to cover while you’re moving the bomb
