MY WORDS ARE YOURS
Dear Person
Please enjoy these combinations of the English language. I "wrote" the words -- however I take no prisoners here. Please have them over for tea, or at least let them take you to some unique places as they ought to -- translation: use these words to work with some chords you thought of or to complete some thought you had with words or to spark some new words to be its own concoction, etc et al. (Thanks and please get in touch with me if you end up recording something with them or the likes - sans pressure)
sincerely,
Karl Blau
quickly, here are other rooms: my label known as KLAPS, and here is how to get in touch.

If you feel as though you were blown
By winds unseen
Come home, sailor, come home
The storm will never cease
As long as you are sailing
You with the flashlight
moving through the crowd
Trading your amp in
for something smaller
You may have something to say yet
Break into the chapel
Here its too dark to film
Stacked up by the hand of glory
Pieces of darkness placed one by one
-------------------------------
Dimebag didn't break the Band
It was the guitar tech some say -- but he was the first to break
If you boost the mids pre
You gotta cut them post
And I for one have been cutting
A lot out after the fact
What happened was someone had a dream
To manufacture dinosaurs
And, upon waking
“For cheap, for everyone,” finally the dino-dealers declared
Long ago I heard myself say:
That’s not my rock to roll
Go ahead and push it on down the road
That’s not my rock to roll
I don’t want it anywhere near my home
But somehow I ended up owning one,
renting one, and borrowing another still
Even at the cost of going against will
At least one dinosaur for every man, woman and child
At least One dinosaur for every creature in the wild
Now these beasts have taken over the earth
What with their paths, what with their girth
And these beasts -- they run hungry each way that they do
While I struggle to feed them
Haunted by echoes of:
That’s not my rock to roll
Go ahead and push it on down the road
That’s not my rock to roll
I don’t want it anywhere near my home

At a time, think you can?
Consume 8
--All the legs of an octopus at one sitting
Consume 8
Tracks 1/2" tape
Consume 8

MEMPHIS IS THE PLACE I GAVE MY HEART AWAY
Like a fenced goat that spied vast pasture
Then an open gate, and the back of my master's
head - gave - thoughts - to - chance - ex - panse
though - bell - y's - so - full - eyes - still - glance
Memphis is the place I gave my heart away
MEMPHIS IS THE PLACE I GAVE MY HEART AWAY
Right above the knee I start to see ann opening
Growing with the swelling of my gift I'm hoping I can
fit - through - it - though - chest - is - thick - in
Memphis - the place I gave my heart away
MEMPHIS IS THE PLACE I GAVE MY HEART AWAY
Wrapped in paper and string 'twas delivered
By a hand that bore a gold circle severed but
work - and - time - may make - me - tal - shine - again
Memphis is the place I gave my heart away

Check out Baker,
She's still wearing her white gown...
Who's gonna tell her how the party has been over for days?
-------------------------------------------------------------
Why are you smoking?
Did someone toss a pale at your feet?
Last night we were choking
In the hotbox we laughed so hard as you led us through games
Every game must have a goal
Like every day must have an end
Spun the bottle til it was broken
Til you could no longer pretend
You keep hope it's not the -- Wrong Stuff
Hope, it's not the -- Wrong Stuff
Hope, it's not the -- Wrong Stuff
Hope can do no harm...
But what are you smoking?
Said "Good Morning Judge" and picked the butt right off of the street
Some 'staches keep growing
Ours is leaving -- hope to find something to eat
You keep on talking spit
I'll keep on shaping ship
We'll keep on taking shit ... for free
And hope it's not the -- Wrong Stuff
Hope, it's not the -- Wrong Stuff
Hope, it's not the -- Wrong Stuff

BABIES IN THE CROW'S NEST
CAN BABIES READ THE SIGNS?
I'M ASKED TO TEST THE WATER BY PICKLING IN THE BRINE
I LIKE THE SMELL OF OCEAN
I PLUG MY NOSE IN TIME
TAKE ONE BREATH FOR MY DARLING
ONE BREATH FOR MY MUSE
THERE'S THE CAKE AND THEN THE EATING
I MUST USE SOME SENSE TO CHOOSE
BOUGHT SOME CANDY FOR MY BABY
COAX HER DOWN FROM UP ON HIGH
JUST TO STRAP HER TO A ROCKET
POINT HER BODY TO THE SKY
I'M FINISHED FOLDING PAPER
A THOUSAND THOUSAND CRANES IN ALL
IT'S ENOUGH TO FILL THE POOL
IS IT ENOUGH TO BREAK HER FALL?
NOW MY BABY'S ON THE CORNER
OF ASCENT AND TRANSCEND
SEE HER TAKE THE TIME TO BREATHE
SEE HER TAKE THE TIME TO MEND
BLUE AS MY NAME
DRUNK WITH WONDER AGAIN
TAKING THE DAY OFF
FROM IMAGINING WHEN
MY BABY WILL DROP DOWN
MY BABY WILL DROP DOWN
BUT I'LL BE READY WITH OPEN ARMS
-------------------------------------------------------------
Finally! Someone else who likes pink
In this blue, blue, black and blue, black and blue land
Finally!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Flash a pack of matches in the dry, summer woods
When I am you, I know I'm up to no good
YOU WANT HEAVEN TO KNOW YOU ARE GOOD
BUT YOU'RE JUST UP TO HERE IN NO GOOD
Shake the fern, cause a raucous
Until you make her cry, you won't know
How far is too far? Halfway to the stars your wings will burn
now, It's my turn
For my eyes to burn
Wish for peace by walking uphill
A piece of sanity is not all, but will
Do for now, now I know, I know how
To leave the ferns be just blowing in the wind
I can take that tip and I can pretend
That it's my will they bend to and fro
I can fool myself into thinking anything's so
I WANT HEAVEN TO KNOW I'M GOOD
I WANT TO FIND MY PLACE HERE IN HER WOOD
I WANT HER TO BELIEVE THAT HERE IS WHERE I SHOULD
I HEAR HER THOUGHTS SAY I'M UP TO HERE IN NO GOOD
DOES IT MATTER WHAT I THINK?
I THINK I'M UP TO KNOW GOOD
I'M WADING IN A STREAM UP TO HERE
DOES IT MATTER WHAT SHE THINKS?
SHE THINKS I'M UP TO NO GOOD
SHE'S WAITING IN A STREAM UP TO HEAR
---------------------------------------------------------------
JUST BECAUSE MY EYE SAW
YOU FELL FROM SKY
DOESN'T MEAN THAT I CAN'T ASK FOR
SPACE BETWEEN US
SPACE BETWEEN US
.......................................................................
The fact that I am singing
Just ain't enough for you
You need for my words
To help you try another pair of shoe
I will not dive in
I'll just skim across the top
A skipping stone that will never see the bottom
(chorus possibly) I screw tin eyes on you
I screw tin eyes on you
I just can't leave my toolbox at home
I screw tin eyes on you
I screw tin eyes on you
Never learned to leave well enough alone
================================================
i had to quiet my mind
and give myself the time
it was laying next to me on the ground
all along
a dog that had stopped begging for bone
given up and limp
but flinching when it heard my cry
caught my eye
and i brought myself down to ground level
lowness can bring comfort
being close to one's dog
gives strength
the shape of the earth
is strength
then upon taking off my shoes
ready to run again
and feel the sky again
==================================================
Choosing to partake
Is the choice that she's giving to you
When the wait is long
hear the song that she's singing for you
way off in the blue...
Face your fears and strain your ears
Levitate to Alaska
Talk to the source -- face off in the mirror
A reflection of a father who is tasting his prime in your shoes
------------------------------- ------------------------------- ------------------------------- -------------------------------
I can't turn it off
I can't turn it off, it's like mothwings coming from inside
If I could write it all down, the earth would stop and we'd go flyin'
So I'm holdin' back, it's not manly -- I know
I'm holdin' back, it's not manly -- I know
I'm holdin' back, it's not manly -- I know
Try to catch my tracks in the snow
I'm miles away by now...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Covetted as a slave to the system
You could dig a deep dark cave
with all your wisdom
But with love like a tidal wave
You may go the distance
Most people want to behave
I want resistance
Punch the face of saving grace
Now yer wrist hurts...
---------------------------------------------------
I had to talk to my soul
with shoe glue
begged my soul to stay and help me play
my part in traveling
this rainbow trail -- my name in braille
or at least leave a static signature
What would the tongue say
if in the way? -- maybe just "slowly"
--------------------------------------------------
