Five ways of disappearing

Aurelia

She steps over shadows the path by the castle
Gold earrings and hair and the moon
Dress like a sail it is billowing past her
She's gone down to the wishing well
Ships made of copper pennies and silver
Have sailed just like wishes away
The flowers that float past her face in the water
Will wither and soon fade away
Trees guard the moment when all is forgiven
Light burst of blinding within
The crickets are mute as she's floating past them
Aurelia is sailing away
She descends into Egypt in search of the treasure
The brilliance that once was her own
They clothed her in adamant which can crush iron
And took from her the bright robe
Straight to the serpent hard by his dwelling
She waits for his slumber to cease
Wearing their clothes lest they betray her
Because she has come from afar
Waiting in silence she senses the stranger
Who dwells in the midst of the sea
The visions inside her remind her of patterns
Writ on her heart long ago

Bohemian Zebulon

Welcome my friends to the valley of the morning sun
Set up your tents let all your banners fly
We'll meet you for tea festivities have just begun
Here's a drink to subtle thoughts as we pause to reflect
And to patterns and frequencies our machines fail to detect
Take heed my friends for high above the Earth
The watchers have weighed your heart
And know what you are worth

Temporarily Lucy

Crawling through the window winding down the alley
She was never sinned nor would she be my Sally
Leaning on the sill taking down the water
Riding on the wind entwining with your daughter
You know that I love your face upon the window
With the stars above you fall upon my pillow
Words upon my pillow birds upon my window
Lucy lives alone like there's no tomorrow
Crawling through the window winding down the alley
She was never sinned nor would she be my Sally
Lucy drops her coat on the velvet carpet
Like a falling star but she couldn't help it

In your head

They tell him that he should be dead
Radionic thugs are getting in his head
He sorts it out by sound and vibe
Knowing that it's all true and it's a lie
In your head ...
Tries to wrap his car around a tree
But his vehicle never lets him down
His lot is hard but he don't mind
Destination written clearly underline
In your head ...
Invisibly he duels without a gun
Impervious to everything but western sun
He breathes in eastern air
Bullets flying past him but he don't care
After the light enters the eye
It's all the truth and it's a lie
With evil creatures lurking underground
Why are luck and love among the things you've found
In your head.

Space unadorned

Where do I begin and end in space
She wondered as she flew into the night
And heard it calling her name
In the country, A. was with her then
Once again she heard a silent voice
Telling her to stop you're going too far
Turn back
Nonetheless she left no conscious fear
Breathing soft to God as in the instant of release
Under the wide and starry sky
Dig me a grave and let me lie
Glad do I live and gladly do I die
Where do I begin and end in space
When you've seen her face you can believe in
Natural Law Hid in every space she'll tell you why the sky is blue
If you can read between the lines
You know the wheel is already in motion
Where do I begin and end in space

Maggots

Maggots, maggots what do you do ?
Maggots, maggots do do doo
Sudden impulse of the mind
A whimsy and a freak
Drone katydid in deep wood
Cup of coffee cools ninety-eight degrees
A whimsy and a freak

Drunken boat

Down to the sea in a drunken boat
No one can get to her tearing up the words she wrote
Down impassable rivers
What does she care for a crew
Light as a cork she is dancing
On the waves of the deep sunk dead
Moonlit lantern idiot eyes
Delirious rhythms that catch her at dawn
Black perfumes that drag her and drug her
Under the bottomless spiralling sky
Nighttime breathes in ominous fortune
She thinks of the calm before stroming
And hears Ma's silent warning
Down to the sea in a drunken boat
No one can get to her tearing up the words she wrote
On a drunken boat she is sailing
Down to the sea she's singing
Nothing is quite as it seems
And no man on earth can be hid from her dreaming

Valley of the morning sun

In the valley of the morning sun,
Midday sun, evening sun - Oh yeah
In a lighter than air machine,
Aereon Queen of the skies,
We are flying lighter than air
We are flying without a worry or a care
Gliding high under silver moon
Over polar snow under midnight sun
Viktoria Luise Sachsen, Santos Dumont city of Milan,
Captain get your jacket on
We are flying ...
Oh you flying machine, up she goes come
Josephine Daughter of the stars,
ZR5, Graf Zeppelin
We are flying...
In the valley of the morning sun,
All is lost, all is one consider
Sir Richard Francis Burton
Captain get your jacket on

Judge not

Judge Not speak hardly at all love and
Act for that is your
Will abandon fruits of the work
Every action offering
Initiate to be transformed
Indicates Regeneration
Judge not speak hardly at all love and
Act for that is your
Will self-conquest failures and Disappointment and renewal
Abandon fruit of the work indicates regeneration
She said I have two perfect words
Perfect love and perfect trust
Know them truly if you please
Disregard them if you must

Get there

What do we do when we get there
Replies must at present be based
We kissed the flask and returned it
Fine silk to its hidden place
High above these heavens
Uncouth forms which none ever knew
Infinite shapes of creatures
Und sie fragen mir so wie heisst du ?
What do we do when we get there
Replies must at present be based
The villagers behave strangely
Storm accents her bloodless white face

Bold Marauder

It's hi, ho, hey, I am the bold marauder!
It's hi, ho, hey, I am the white destroyer!

For I will buy you silver and gold and I will bring you treasure,
And I will bring a widowing flag and I will be your lover;
And I will show you grotto and cave and sacrificial altar,
And I will show you blood on the stone and I will be your mentor.
And night will be our darling and fear will be our name.

It's hi, ho, hey, I am the bold marauder!
It's hi, ho, hey, I am the white destroyer!

For I will take you out by the hand and lead you to the hunter,
And I will show you thunder and steel and I will be your teacher;
And we will dress in helmet and sword, and dip our tongues in slaughter,
And we will sing a warrior's song and lift the praise of murder.
And Christ will be our darling and fear will be our name.

It's hi, ho, hey, I am the bold marauder!
It's hi, ho, hey, I am the white destroyer!

For I will sour the winds on high and I will soil the rivers,
And I will burn the grain in the fields and I will be your mother;
And I will go to ravage and kill and I will go to plunder,
And I will take a Fury to wife and I will be your father.
And Death will be our darling and fear will be our name.

It's hi, ho, hey, I am the bold marauder!
It's hi, ho, hey, I am the white destroyer!
