Sweet Charity
Save Me
The Heavens Have Opened
The Storm Is Over
So Let's Start the Parade... 

Raindrops
Will Turn to Laughter
Forever After
In Your Technicolor Heartbeat
And They Say
That It Helps You Forget Everything... 

Sweet Charity 

You Drink Your Poison From a Cup of Gold
Your Gift Keeps On Giving and Giving 

Perfect Photographs
Of Everest Days
And Postcard Nights
Tearing Through the Paper Walls of Time 

With Sunset Eyes
Telethons, Grand Canyon Hearts
You Numb Your Mind
With Gloves of White and Turpentine
Even the Bombs and Scarecrows Will Sing! 

Sweet Charity 

Save Me
The Heavens Have Opened
And I'm Alone
Sweet Charity 

Save Me
The Heavens Have Opened
I'm Coming Home
Sweet Charity 

Save Me
The Asylums Have Opened
I'm Coming Home
Sweet Charity 

I'm Home Free... 

None of Them Knew They Were Robots

Mendel's Machines Replicate in the Night
In the Black Iron Prison of St. Augustine's Light
He's Paying the Bills and They're Doing Him Proud
They Can Float Their Burnt Offerings On Assembler Clouds 

With Omega Point in the Sight
The New Franklins Fly Their Kites
And the Post Modern Empire Is Ended Tonight 

From History
The Flood of Counterfeits Released
The Black Cloud
Reductionism and the Beast
Automatons Gather All the Pieces
So the World May Be Increased
In Simulation Jubilation
For the Deceased... 

Spray-on Clothes and Diamond Jaws
Wrinkles Smoothed By Nanoclaws 

With My Machines I Can Dispatch You
From This World Without a Trace
Our Nostalgia Ghosts Are Ready to Take Your Place 

Content-shifting Shopping Malls
Gasoline Trees and Walk-through Walls 

None of Them Knew... 

I Feel the Grey Goo Boiling My Blood
As I Watch the Dead Rise Up Out of the Earth
Try to Hide From the Lies As They All Come True 

Deus Absconditus
Deus Nullus Deus Nisi Deus 

I Feel the Grey Goo Boiling My Blood
As the Fenris Wolf Slowly Bites Through His Chain
Try to Hide the Myth As It Becomes a Man 

None of Them Knew They Were Robots 

Buying An X Or An O
In State Craft Tic Tac Toe
Cats Game For Joe Blow 

Post Industrial Bliss
A Binary Hug Or Kiss
Can Be Wrung From Utility Mist 

They Stole the Great Arcanum
The Secret Fire
Moloch Found His Gold
For the New Empire
Once Again
The Necrophage Becomes Saint 

Lindy Hop Around the Truth
Jump Back Wolf Pack Attack
Slap Back White Shark Attack
Swingin' Up There in the Noose
Jump Back Wolf Pack Attack
Slap Back White Shark Attack 

Phased Array Diffraction Nets
From Full-wall Paint-on Tv Sets
Migratory Home Sublets
And Time Shared Diamond Fiber Sets 

Recombinant Logos Keys
Bitic Qabalistic Trees 

I Feel the Grey Goo Boiling My Blood
As Leviathan and His Bugs Freeze the Sea
Try to Save the World By Immolating Myself 

From History
The Flood of Counterfeits Released
The Black Cloud
The Resurrection of the Deceased
Automatons Gather All the Pieces
So the World May Be Increased
In Simulation Jubilation
For the Builders
Of the Body of the Beast 

Retrovertigo

Before You Advertise
All the Fame Is Implied
With no Fortune Unseen
Sell the Rights
To Your Blight
Time-machine 

While I'm Dulled By Excess
And a Cynic At Best
My Art Imitates Crime
Paid For By
The Allies
So Invest 

Now I'm Finding Truth Is a Ruin
Nauseous End That Nobody Is Pursuing
Staring Into Glassy Eyes 
Mesmerized
There's a Vintage Thirst Returning
But I'm Sheltered By My Channel-surfing
Every Famine Virtual
Retrovertigo 

A Tribute to False Memories
With Conviction
Cheap Imitation
Is It Fashion Or Disease?
Post-ironic
Remains a Mouth to Feed 

Sell the Rights
To Your Blight
And You'll Eat 

See the Vintage Robot Wearied
Then Awakened By Revision Theories
Every Famine Virtual
Retrovertigo 

The Air-conditioned Nightmare

Inside of Me Today
There Is no One
Only Asteroids and Empty Space
A Waste 

...they're Looking Through the Windows At Me... 

Get Me Out of This Air-conditioned Nightmare
Rots Your Brain Just Like a Catchy Tune
You Will Hate Life More Than Life Hates You 

Happiness Is Your Illness in An Air-conditioned Nightmare 

...burn All Your Mementos of Me... 

Walkin' On Air
Up From the Wheelchair
I'll Find the Suicide
That I Deserve 

Walkin' On Sand
Forgotten Where I Am
But It's So Comfortable
Here in the Sun... 

I Only See Rainbows
Now That the Bandages Are Gone
Through My Window, There 

From the Skyscrapers
Down to the Submarines 

Birds and Fairies
Sanctuaries
Atop the Rolling Hills of Hell 

These Words Are Sledgehammers
Of Truth
That Pound the Iron Heart
Of Sin 

Bloody Smiling
Vandalizing 
My Wet Dream Is Drying Up... 

Where's My Rainbow?
Where's My Halo? 

There's My Halo! 

Ars Moriendi

He Who Hears in the Vast Silence
He Who Wafts On the Red Wind
"In Extremis" 

He Who Leaps Across the Precipice
He Who Steals Pearls From the Ashes
"Ride Si Sapis" 

'ave Atque Vale' 

I Shall Rise Again
Bardo of the Flesh 

So Feast On Me
All My Bones Are Laughing
As You're Dancing On My Grave 

'ave Atque Vale' 

Pink Cigarette 

Hush Me, Touch Me
Perfume, the Wind and the Leaves
Hush Me, Touch Me
The Burns, the Holes in the Sheets 

I'm Hoping the Smoke
Hides the Shame I've Got On My Face
Cognac and Broken Glass
All These Years I've Been Your Ashtray 

Not Today 

I Found a Pink Cigarette
On the Bed the Day That You Left
And How Can I Forget That Your Lips Were There
Your Kiss Goes Everywhere, Touches Everything But Me 

Hush Me, Touch Me
Champagne, Your Hair in the Breeze
Hush Me, Touch Me
Lipstick, a Slap On My Cheek 

Your Eyes Cried At Last
Told Me Everything I Was Afraid to Ask
Now I'm Dressed in White
And You've Burned Me For the Last Time 

This Ain't the Last Tine 

You'll Find a Note and You'll See My Silhouette... 

There's Just 5 Hours Left Until You Find Me Dead
There's Just 4 Hours Left Until You Find Me Dead
There's Just 3 Hours Left Until You Find Me Dead
There's Just 2 Hours Left Until You Find Me Dead
There's 1 More Hour and Then You Will Find Me Dead
There's Just.....................

Vanity Fair

You're Not Human
You're a Miracle
A Preacher With An Animal's Face 

In Your Sexy
Neon Smokescreen
Lie the Supersalesmen of Vanity 

Even Your Shadow Worships You
In Your Jungle Solitude 

With the Orgies of the Sacrament
And the Seal of Flagellants 

God Saves Those Who Save Their Skin
From the Bondage That We're in 

I'm Elated
I Could Cut You
And Remove the Sheath of Your Ignorance 

Bless the Eunuch
And the Skoptsi
Will You Hurt Me Now and Make a Million? 

Say Cheese, Baby
We All Love You
But It's a Cheap World and You Don't Exist... 

Slit the Fabric of the Right Now
Spread Your Legs and Wear the Crown 

Tell Me How Long, Lord, How Long?
Till I Get My Beauty Sleep? 

Now the Hourglass Is Empty
The Moment of My De-sexing 

Cut It
Cut It
Cut This Cancer From My Soul 

Now That I've Made It... 

I'm Finally Naked... 

Goodbye Sober Day

Your Lips Say One Thing
But the Drugs Say Another
How Can I Massage
This Inter-galactic Ulcer? 

Goodbye Sober Day 

Hello Milky Way... 

Pin My Ear to the Wisdom Post
Hang Me Up and Drain Me Dry
Mend My Shipwrecked Spirit
Lift the Veil From My Eyes 

Goodbye Sober Day
The Years Grew Wings and Flew Away 

Ghosts of the Past Become Barbarians
Of the Future...
And I Still Pity You
Because What You Said Was True 

Goodbye Sober Day
Hello Milky Way... 

May Your Sun Be Blown Out Like a Candle
May Your Sea Burn Like Tar
May Your Sky Be Rolled Up Like a Scroll
May Your Blue Moon Drip With Blood 

What Would They Say
If You Went Up in Smoke?
If I Dug You Up
And Made Soup of Your Bones? 

Goodbye Sober Day
