Please ask me about authenticity
Do I remind you of Milli Vanilli?
Am I recreating believably?
Am I live or pre-recorded?
Can a mistake here be afforded?
Are you a fan of rock
and/or a fan of pop?
So, light your guitar
Sync your lips
Kick in your drum head
Girate your hips
Just like you've practiced at home
Although I like Nirvana
I'm more partial to Madonna
I'm more Borderline
than Come as You Are
So, light your guitar
Sync your lips
Kick in your drum head
Girate your hips
Strings get broken
Programs get frozen
Not like you've practiced
Not like you'd practice
Just like you've practiced at home.

Measured Miles

Morning meansured miles
The distance is mostly mine
Setting off o'er a year ago
My griefs nearer than my repose
You laughed in the telephone
Though I telegraph the punchlines home
Your patience is second to none
But it's gonna be a hard earned one
Morning measured miles
Will another year spin round the dial
And when the distance grows beyond repair
Will you be waiting there?
That grave is more than mine
Though I lose the plot from time to time
When I drink of the spring of bliss
And joy floods the barren plains of pain
I'll remember measured miles
How the years have spun around the dial
And how the distance grows beyond repair
Would you be waiting?
Because I could never wait out there
Embrace the now, let down your cares
I could never wait out there
There in the air, in the sea
You can't turn back time
Home's in the air, in the sea.

On Due Process

You take advantage of the powers you've been granted
Although you call it hard-earned won
You're profiting from those who've gone before
You accuse him
Then abuse him
And refuse him space to counter
Don't make it
Don't fake it
When you know you couldn't even take it
Hesitate to throw a stone! It's not cowardice nor treason
Think not of your house of glass
But of the flesh and bone of your fellow human
Who takes your words for all and for one?
Not me.
Who takes your words as the setting sun?
An emotional tantrum, clear, it makes for decent ratings
And you'll probably be lent an ear
Or get broadcast on the radio.
Don't make it
Don't fake it
When you know you couldn't fucking take it
You accuse her
And Abuse her
And refuse her space to counter
Hesitate to throw a stone! It's not cowardice nor treason
Think not of your house of glass
But of the flesh and bone of your fellow human
Do unto others, etc... is said but often not done
By me, by him, by her, by them, by you and everyone in this room.
Who takes your words as the setting sun?

Blueberry Bloom

Oh Blueberry bloom
'neath a blue powder moon
dust residue
keeps you safe
through the day
from the harmful UV rays
and decay
in the patch
what a splendid lock and latch
is the wax
round the crown
on that king hung upside down
Your honest work
Serves the world
I am not more than thee
What protects you
we call it bloom
and it's often misconstrued
and I do empathize
'cause it happens to me too.
Your honest work
Serves the world
I am not more than thee

skiing Berlin, Germany
All beneath the moon will fade
The moon itself will move away
All that in this world that's
bought
Now or then returns to nought
In Time...
