Green
Garden (Reynolds)
Late last night
I made up this song / That turned out to be about three minutes long /
It tells my life in sixty seconds or so / And I hope you won’t think that
I’m cuttin’ it to low / Green Garden listens to the tunnel of love / I
hope that’s not my ship that they’re sinking above / If my eyes don’t deceive
me I’ve just suddenly heard / That you’re comin’ home for dinner and we’re
cookin’ a bird / I looked out the window and what did I see / Not the burglar
I expected but a reflection of me / It scared me so as you might expect
/ At that time of night I was a total wreck / Green Garden listens to the
tunnel of love / I hope that’s not my ship that they’re sinking above /
If my eyes don’t deceive me I’ve just suddenly heard / That you’re comin’
home for dinner and we’re cookin’ a bird / They say that I’m crazy but
it only hurts / When I find that they’re wrong and there are many Burts
/ If the world’s gonna be saved we need more like me / Who are sometimes
crazy but always free / Green Garden listens to the tunnel of love / I
hope that’s not my ship that they’re sinking above / If my eyes don’t deceive
me I’ve just suddenly heard / That you’re comin’ home for dinner and we’re
cookin’ a bird / One more time / Green Garden listens to the tunnel of
love / I hope that’s not my ship that they’re sinking above / If my eyes
don’t deceive me I’ve just suddenly heard / That you’re comin’ home for
dinner and we’re cookin’ a bird / All right...
Soldier
On Fire (Smolinske)
They park underneath
a neon light / And get a room with cheese cloth walls / Come together in
a darkened room / Holdin’ together like boards been nailed / Fall into
the bed like a train derailed / And never forget the weep and laugh / Back
and forth / Like a soldier on fire / Outside in the parking lot / The cheap
private cop sits and he waits / Munching kinda loud on popcorn and candy
/ All ready with a message to send / Just sittin’ and waiting for the show
to end / And never forget the weep and laugh / Back and forth / Like a
soldier on fire / When the kids all know / And the parents hear / They’ll
never understand he’s a magic man / A secret agent from Pakistan / Come
to cure the suburban housewife blues
Deus
Ex Machina (Reynolds)
Now Gatsby had
a love / As he looked across the sea / And though he couldn’t see his dove
/ He thought he saw Daisy / And although the light was bright / Through
the haze he couldn’t see / That the light that night / Wasn’t her but eternity
/ Well I’ve seen Duncan and I’ve seen Pan / but that doesn’t mean I’m a
special man / Where ever you go you’re gonna find / Someone who will lift
you up to the sky / And when you’ve arrived you’re gonna see / Someone
who will look across at me / And you’re gonna say technology hooray / Deus
Ex Machina / Now I know that I have found / The love that he had sought
/ Thanks to the machine that leaves the ground / I have all I could never
have bought / And as for her I know we’ll be / Good friends eternally /
And of that divine machine from the old city / Well I’ve seen Duncan and
I’ve seen Pan / But that doesn’t mean I’m a special man / Where ever you
go you’re gonna find / Someone who will lift you up to the sky / And when
you’ve arrived you’re gonna see / Someone who will look across at me /
And you’re gonna say technology hooray / Deus Ex Machina / Well I’ve seen
Duncan and I’ve seen Pan / But that doesn’t mean I’m a special man / Where
ever you go you’re gonna find / Someone who will lift you up to the sky
/ And when you’ve arrived you’re gonna see / Someone who will look across
at me / And you’re gonna say technology hooray / Deus Ex Machina
Eternal
Protoplasm (Reynolds)
Outside the gently
falling rain / Splats blood upon the pavement of my ears / It doesn’t cause
me much pain / Except for when I try to hear / I’m drowning in the protoplasm
of eternal consciousness / Everyone around me goes on playing their game
of tennis / They don’t see the things the way I do / One of these days
they’re gonna step in some doggie do / Bodily amputations go swimming in
the pool / Of suburban blue sky quiet afternoon / It causes the fish to
go to school / Before their meal is gone all too soon / I’m drowning in
the protoplasm of eternal consciousness / Everyone around me goes on playing
their game of tennis / They don’t see the things the way I do / One of
these days they’re gonna step in some doggie do / These shoes are darn
cruel to my feet / Much like a cooked cop on the beat / My socks protect
me from their claw / Just like a kickback to the law / I’m drowning in
the protoplasm of eternal consciousness / Everyone around me goes on playing
their game of tennis / They don’t see the things the way I do / One of
these days they’re gonna step in some doggie do / I’m drowning in the protoplasm
of eternal consciousness / Everyone around me goes on playing their game
of tennis / They don’t see the things the way I do / One of these days
they’re gonna step in some doggie do
Shakespeare
(Reynolds)
I don’t know
‘bout you / But it seems to me / That we’re not as free / As we use to
be / Cages don’t confine / The flesh in the lair / But the spirit doesn’t
tune in / To what doesn’t care / A headache throbs in Shakespeare’s head
/ The migraines alive and the playwright’s dead / I guess it’s like the
great one said / All things must come to end / Outside the rain pounds
down very hard / Heaven laments the passing of a bard / Hell’s dirt provides
comfort while concealing it’s card / Compassion bought to send / My arteries
explode with the passing of art / Maybe the Neutron will give us another
start / To shop the soul and not the mart / Maybe I’ll find a friend /
You can go on and do / What you want to do / Stick your head down deep
/ In the earthly stew / But if you do / Then you may very soon find / That
the rest of you / Is six feet under mind / A headache throbs in Shakespeare’s
head / The migraines alive and the playwright’s dead / I guess it’s like
the great one said / All things must come to end / Outside the rain pounds
down very hard / Heaven laments the passing of a bard / Hell’s dirt provides
comfort while concealing it’s card / Compassion bought to send / My arteries
explode with the passing of art / Maybe the Neutron will give us another
start / To shop the soul and not the mart / Maybe I’ll find a friend
Traffic
Jelly (Hall)
Slippin’ and
slidin’ movin’ on down the road / Show keeps a fallin’ and it’s almost
like road ala mode / Traffic keeps movin’ only at such a slow pace / Better
get a movin’ or they’re gonna make me late / Traffic Jelly / It’s a waste
/ Traffic Jelly / Ooooh they’re gonna make me late / Slippin’ and slidin’
movin’ to a quicker pace / Don’t matter where always feels like I’m in
last place / Gotta get a movin’ if I cross the center line / If I drive
on the curb maybe that’ll save me some time / Traffic Jelly / It’s a waste
/ Traffic Jelly / Ooooh they’re gonna make me late / Ahhhh / Less than
a stupid quarter inch of stupid snow / Seems to bring slow old folks out
in droves / Not as if this snow had suddenly turned to ice / Makes me wish
I had some napalm or a similar device / Traffic Jelly / It’s a waste /
Traffic Jelly / Ooooh they’re gonna make me late / If I get right up behind
‘em boy it makes ‘em swear away / Give ‘em a little tap it makes them spin
out of the way / Snow’s lettin’ up but they’re movin’ as slow as before
/ Maybe if I get up close and nudge a couple more / Hahahah /Traffic Jelly
/ It’s a waste / Traffic Jelly / Ooooh they’re gonna make me late / Hahahaha
/ Traffic Jelly / It’s a waste / Traffic Jelly / Ooooh they’re gonna make
me late
Stephanie
(Reynolds)
Swan high above
in the restless sea / Appears to hover pausing for me / Extending myself
she remains beyond grasp / Leaving the question that I long to ask / Continuing
on to touch those that are ready tonight / Will not join her on this flight
/ Shall I seek you to the exclusion of all else that I may want / Should
I leave you beyond the horizon and carry out what destiny has wrought /
If you’re love's as real as you say /Why must I earn it this way / But
is the mist that surrounds me in the moonlight of her rhyme / The key to
longevity or the waste of precious time / Needing love is not so bad as
having none to give / I already lost the one I had and now I want to live
/ Palms extended she offers to free / The minds of those that wish to be
/ I long to surrender completely to her / And not live alone today or forever
/ Yet is it the voice of compassion / Or the destructive lure of the siren
/ Yet her song seems vaguely familiar / Perhaps the first racial memory
/ Seems to provoke the feeling I hear / When the starlight shines right
through me / I wonder if they could be the same / Or whether nature can
never be tamed / But is the mist that surrounds me in the moonlight of
her rhyme / The key to longevity or the waste of precious time / Needing
love is not so bad as having none to give / I already lost the one I had
and now I want to live / One said it’s only out of reach for those who
don’t believe / The other said it’s just beyond the grasp of that I seek
/ I long to hear the melody that is all that I will be / She sings of love
so distant yet closer than reality / Perhaps someday I’ll meet her in this
world or another / Perhaps someday she’ll love me in this dimension or
whatever / ‘Till then I’ll continue to listen / ‘Till then I’ll continue
to reason / Swan high above in the restless sea / Appears to hover pausing
for me / Extending myself she remains beyond grasp / Leaving the question
that I long to ask / Continuing on to touch those that are ready tonight
/ Will not join her on this flight
You
Can’t Swim To The Shores Of Space
(Hall)
In a lifeboat
on a sea you stand a chance / Shipwreck carries with it a stigma of romance
/ For a sailor to drown at sea a disgrace / If he swims to shore he will
save face / But I’m a spaceman shipwrecked in the midnight sky / Moving
hundreds of miles in the blinking of an eye / In the sea you can paddle
from place to place / But you can’t swim to the shores of space / No you
can’t swim to the shores of space / As the vapor that was my ship washes
by / Just a flash of light just a twinkle in the night / Just barely enough
time to get my pressure suit on / And with a woosh she tore herself apart
and was gone / I’m just a spaceman shipwrecked in the midnight sky / Moving
hundreds of miles in the blinking of an eye / In the sea you can paddle
from place to place / But you can’t swim to the shores of space / No you
can’t swim to the shores of space / As the CO2 level builds you feel no
pain / Water vapor condenses on the face plate like rain / It’s a shame
that I’ll have to die on the shore / But my O2 supply won’t let me live
any more / I’m just a spaceman shipwrecked in the midnight sky / Moving
hundreds of miles in the blinking of an eye / In the sea you can paddle
from place to place / But you can’t swim to the shores of space / No you
can’t swim to the shores of space / No you can’t swim to the shores of
space / No you can’t swim to the shores of space / No you can’t swim to
the shores of space / No you can’t swim to the shores of space
Almost
Absolute Zero (Hall)
The stars look
especially pretty tonight / Even through the glass dome / While it’s almost
absolute zero outside / It’s so warm in here next to you / Think how terribly
cold it’s outside / The harsh vacuum between stars / Lyin’ on our backs
in the grass on the hill / The stars don’t seem very far / To think how
far that we’ve come / Leaving our homes far behind/ Someday we’ll arrive
and we’ll stand in the sun / ‘Till then this dome is our home / The stars
look especially pretty tonight / even through the glass dome / While it’s
almost absolute zero outside / It’s so warm in here next to you / I explain
to you about the stars / While a cool breeze slides down the hill / You
shush me to silence I ask you what’s wrong / You say facts are fine but
the timing’s all wrong / You say here’s a fact its a fact that its true
/ You whisper to me I love you / The stars look especially pretty tonight
/ Even through the glass dome / While it’s almost absolute zero outside
/ It’s so warm in here next to you / Oh the stars do look so pretty tonight
/ Making love beneath their silent shine / While it’s almost absolute zero
outside / It’s so warm in here next to you

Repairman (Reynolds)
Drive downtown
and hop on a jet / Customers computer is on the blink / Land in the city
and then I’ll be set / Man these service contracts stink / Maintenance
programmer is what they call me / The title sounds official but the work
ain’t easy / Cleaning out the cesspool of faulty programs / Has earned
me the name of Software Repairman / To cure the program I make the incision
/ Remove the faulty instruction put the new on in / Then if the knee’s
OK I move on to the shin / To get this program runnin’ again /Maintenance

ain’t easy / Cleaning out the cesspool of faulty programs / Has earned
me the name of Software Repairman / I don’t carry a black bag ‘cause my
patients aren’t human / I whip out my company tag and then I’m groovin’
/ My tools aren’t mechanical they’re stored in my brain / And that won’t
rust if it’s left in the rain / Maintenance programmer is what they call
me / The title sounds official but the work ain’t easy / Cleaning out the
cesspool of faulty programs / Has earned me the name of Software Repairman
/ My work keeps me traveling from city to city / I never am alone and I
never am lonely / My work is fun and it keeps me busy / The LED’s are bright
and their flashing is pretty / Maintenance programmer is what they call
me / The title sounds official but the work ain’t easy / Cleaning out the
cesspool of faulty programs / Has earned me the name of Software Repairman
/Maintenance programmer is what they call me / The title sounds official

I
Need Light Speed
(Hall, Music By Jeff Wayne)
I have been glidin’
away about six years to the day / I need light speed / A cargo ship on
the roam has carried me far from home / I need light speed / Out here in
space you see / A slow cargo ship and me / Light speed’s what I need /
I’ve got to dump all this shit and make a U-turn that’s it /I need light
speed / I’m going to find my way home ‘cause I feel so damned alone / I
need light speed / Outside on EVA damned near breathed space today / No
way that’s it / I’m headin’ home
