Another missing page from the spineless book...
Let the record show itself
Down the road as far as
History will let it go
History is a spineless book

Hop That Train

Old Jon was a ramblin' man
He hadn't been home in so many years
Run and hop that train
Always been his thing
Well, I guess it's true
There ain't nothin' he can do
Well the seasons must change
but the reason stays the same
A house is just a house
but home is where you roam
And there's nowhere left to go
Up on the mountain he was seeing everything
Down in the valley he was hidden from everything

A Cactupus In The Night
01:26

There once was a cactupus rummaging scraps in the night
Its wild, confused, and acutely obtuse apparatus met mine
I opened the window, a wind gusting me askew
The cactupus spoke an unspeakable hue..
"You'll dither and wither til the end my friend, and shiver with unconscionable pride.. if you cannot rid yourself the desire to leave something behind. As time makes a cactupus of us all!.. The higher you climb, the further you'll fall. Your will will only get thinner. One man's legacy is a cactupus' dinner."

On the most mischievous night, four forgotten fat kids
are hiding in the gutter by the light of the moon until your headlights are gone.
Gettin' Rammy!
If you're wondering who's that at your door, ding dong ditching your doorbell, it's just the local long-haired freaks of the street, here and then they're gone.
Breakin' bottles in the road
Don't ya go worrying about getting caught.
He memorized the taillights.
If there's a hitch in the plan I'll see ya tomorrow man.
We'll do it all over again.
Gettin' Rammy!

The Speed Of Sight
03:25

Earth mannerism
Surface demeanor
Enlightened moonlight
Charismatic moon, made a buffoon
out of the fool's eye
Can you forget what you know?
Everything that you know?
Can you see a sight like seeing something the first time?
In the time it takes a light to designate the speed of sight?
Reality can be so surreal

Much Obliged
02:20
|

Rocco said if given the chance to go back
and do it all over again
well he'd do it again and again
Much obliged to stand here and say
'I'm proud to be small and so simply put
and much like a feather, the wind blows just right.
It's true what they say; the best things in life are free.'
Her sweet love is a beautiful thing

I Love You!

Once through the hourglass in your eye
Things get turned upside downside
I bet ya didn't know you were standing on the sky
What's the point of knowing if you don't know why?
I've been a fool who likes to pretend
I'm in control, I'm human
Or just another animal in headlights again
There's no need to pretend in the end my friend
Let go with me into obscurity
We'll be what we want to be
And forget what we don't need
Until all that is left is just you and me
