Karma payment plan

Damn deft disaster
Heavy credit, i maxed it 
with card regestered to no other than
Mr. Nom de guerre

Started just today
The ol' karma payment plan
He said life bears enough debt on its own
Mr. Nom de guerre

Now Mr, Mr
run straight to the bank
its a small price to pay
when karma drops the stakes
give and take
give and take

It's all what you make
s'what the teller had to say
It's a glass half empty half full condition
Mr. Nom de guerre

Now just sign here,

Now Mr, Mr !
run straight to the bank
its a small price to pay
when karma drops the stakes
give and take
give and take

No one ever said it was the right thing to do


Alameda calls for sun
Heard it all through the grapevine
Go on, toss in a spare
You've set off a landmine

We've only brought to pass
But it's already been the end
Oh, when it's bad, it's really bad
And when it's good it's grand

Bad words from sly mouths
All toss 'round with the wind
But that's not who you are
Only who you've  been

The broker`s gone long poor
Have you read the front page news?
We`ve all been repossessed
And there`s nothing left to do

We've only brought to pass
But it's already been the end
Oh, when it's bad it's really bad
And when it's good it's grand

It's just grand, it's just grand

Biblical forcast, got us runnin' lilke mad

Found a one man orchestra
With a prescription to fill and
Jumped the streetcar to vengeance
With an anonymous killer

Got lost in the laundry
hit a fork in the road and
left thoughts in the quarry
that lay in the lost and found

oh Limbo man
sells perpetual debt
caused a ruckus, and a rapture
for the "havn"t-happened-yets"
Met an anchor cast of doubt
Tossed to a shallow sea grave she
Weighed down word of mouth and
Condoned the promises I"d made

oh Limbo man
sells perpetual debt
caused a ruckus, and a rapture
for the "havn"t-happened-yets"

I"ve sorted my short comings,
Came up shorter in change had
To empty my wallet just
To walk stark the other way
oh Limbo man
sells perpetual debt
caused a ruckus, and a rapture
For the "havn"t-happened-yets"

Hasn't happened yet

Yet another

Let me parry just one thing
I'm a begger and a chooser
And i cannot be the warden
To a post traumatic soldier


We set fire to the cosmos
But you don't answer to arson anymore
Spark flight ignites the crowd
and it burns 
and it burns


Pride is the only victim
Of senceless self deception
Rest assured where you hang your hat
That nothing here is sullen


Said I've got it all, almost
To own that stray dog freedom
Gotta' do away with the sheriff
And his falsified subpoena


We set fire to the cosmos
But you don't answer to arson anymore
Spark flight ignites the crowd
and it burns
and it burns


This love's on fire
And me, I'm alright
I'm okay

Martyr Madness


Well, I sold my baby
For a dream as lovely
As my five string anchored heart
I couldn’t be the only Martyr, blood line priest’s daughter
With a vision as black as her lungs


Well, I lost my baby
to a cut throat melody
a Martyr held hostage by psalm
The symphony played it, the bass ballad I painted
said music could save us all


My baby's sold
My baby"s used
Well, she was borrowed, and now she"s blue
Now she"s blue


Well i lost my baby
for a chance as crazy
Now i sing the song"s she wrote
wed the almighty dollar, left 'lone by the altar
with a void cheque and a mouth full of doubt


My baby's sold
My baby's used
Well, she was borrowed, and now she's blue
now she"s blue


Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today...

Mary wanna?

Marley flower ,
why'd you go and leave me?
You love sold by evening
next morning, is gone


She got you all, all
wrapped up in the dollar
A wild idea
To get lost for an hour


Here"s a retelling
Of an unfortunate seduction
Her words softly spoken words
to the movement of margins


She left my eyes heavy
And there"s nothing I'd rather
Than a faint recollection
Of a come and go lover


She"s got you all, all
wrapped up in the dollar
A wild idea
To get lost for an hour

California blues- Megan Hann

Every decision
Starts a flicker of your cigarette
Runs through your ration as madness
Leaves your mouth as regret


Breathe, California
Watch it go 'round and 'round
California let me down easy
California let me down


Every collision
Starts tossing restless in bed
Left a dent in the lifeless pillow,
you've long rest your head


Made it as far as medicine
To political science, it's grown
i've already Board that flight to California
And California let me down


Breathe, California
Watch it go 'round and 'round
California let me dwn easy
California let me down


California just let me
