Charlie the Spook

All these things were left undone

He never caught the confidence bug

Fight the feeling that he’s all gone

In this override

 

It’s never happening until it is

The storm is singing in times like this

What’s forgotten really is

In the powerlines

 

Charlie wants to be in the next world

Charlie wants to know our human hurt

Charlie wants to haunt all the extraverts

Charlie wants to float on the outskirts

 

He couldn’t tell that nothing was there

He’s moving on; we don’t know where

He reached out to capture the air

Now the world’s on fire

 

Charlie was a spook on Telegraph Hill

If you see past this then he probably will

 

Charlie wants to be in the next world

Charlie wants to know our human hurt

Charlie wants to haunt all the extraverts

Charlie wants to float on the outskirts

 

Escape the city for a couple of days

Out on the water - out on the waves

 

Charlie’s scream finds it’s way out

Charlie’s scream finds it’s way out

Charlie’s scream finds it’s way out

Charlie’s scream finds it’s way out

 

Charlie wants to be in the next world

Charlie wants to know our human hurt

Charlie wants to haunt all the extraverts

Charlie want to float on the outskirts

Charlie wants to wear that hair shirt

Charlie wants to be in the universe

Charlie wants to be in the human world

Charlie has to stay

 

Meteorite

I see you in the starlight as we’re caught by the moon

I see you in the twilight as we’re breaking the blue

 

The past is over

The past

The past is over

The past

Re-ignite all those lights

We’ll keep them shining throughout the night

Like moonlight

Our time goes like a meteorite

 

I hear the voices rising from the deep

A union between the sky and the sea

Rising, rising in your sleep

Hiding beneath your dreams

 

The past is over

The past

The past is over

The past

 

The sky....

 

Turn it up

Turn it up again

Growing underground

Growing underground

 

Under the blood red sky

Blood red sky...

Here comes the morning

Blue and pale

Here comes the morning

 

Re-ignite all those lights

We’ll keep them shining throughout the night

Like moonlight

Our time goes like a meteorite

 

Upside Down

You’re undone

You’re unsung

You are undercover

You want to say that these days are beyond redemption

All this time passing by into the ether

All these words are unheard by the mechanism


And the moon

That hangs in the blue sky

We turn it around

And you

You tell me not to

Shine through the clouds

 

And you

We hang in the blue sky

When the night comes down

And you

You tell me not to

You’ve been around

 

Now we’re upside down

Inside out

And upside down

 

We have gone far too long living in the shadows

We break into the afternoon when we are leaving

All she said is “be prepared, the night will touch you”

You’re undone

You’re unsung

You are undercover

 

You’re undone

You’re unsung

You’re undercover

You want to say that these days are beyond redemption

All this time passing by into the ether

All these words are unheard by the mechanism

 

And the moon

That hangs in the blue sky

We turn it around

And you

You tell me not to

Shine through the clouds

 

And you

We hang in the blue sky

When the night comes down

And you

You tell me not to

You’ve been around

 

Now we’re upside down

Inside out

And upside down

 

We have gone far too long living in the shadows

We break into the afternoon when we are leaving

All she said is “be prepared, the night will touch you”

You’re undone

You’re unsung

You are undercover

 

And You

Life got so complicated

Time blew me away

Blind to the consequences

Fire

Fire away

 

But you

You bring the blue sky through

And you

With all the things you do

And you

You make me feel  renewed

And you

You bring the blue sky through

And you

 

I, I have contemplated

My, my turning years

You shine

Underneath the red sky

Though I’m blind

Behind these tears

 

But you

You bring the blue sky through

And you

With all the things you do

And you

You make me feel  renewed

And you

You bring the blue sky through

And you

 

 

Round and Round

Waiting for my television

Waiting for the air

You’re not lost, you’re where you are

You’re not here, you’re there

 

Animation override

A tourist on the run

Travel to the best location

But you have to take a gun

 

Let’s go round and round again

Let’s go round and round

Let’s go round and round again

Let’s go round and round

 

Breaking up those resolutions

Heading up the stairs

Tracking down these heavy people

But you do not know where

 

Shining light around every corner

A reckless mass of fools

Run to face their only order;

Instructions to be cruel

 

Let’s go round and round again

Let’s go round and round

Let’s go round and round again

Let’s go round and round

 

The Impossible Line

Shrieking violets on a dark summer night

Thirty shadows on a wall

Orange hue against a blackening blue

Nothing matters anymore

 

Returning darkness overwhelming the world

You are singing in your sleep

Cracked tarmac beneath a blanket of stars

You’re lying next to me

 

Sail at night

Sail at night

Sail at night

Impossible line

 

I’m all kinds of crazy

But you don’t know me

You don’t know who I am

I think maybe

She might save me

She could turn this around

I am shaking

Near to breaking

My feet are off the ground

I’m all kinds of crazy

But you don’t know me

You don’t know who I am

 

The worlds colliding as the ___ drying up

All the windows creaked and groaned

Breaking seams of all the places I’ve been

You are frozen to the bone

Scars etched into the impossible line

The waves conspire to meet the sky

Rising up in the heat of the night

Rising up along the tide

 

Sail at night

Sail at night

Sail at night

Impossible line

 

I’m all kinds of crazy

But you don’t know me

You don’t know who I am

I think maybe

She might save me

She could turn this around

I am shaking

Near to breaking

My feet are off the ground

I’m all kinds of crazy

But you don’t know me

You don’t know who I am

 

 

I Am Satellite

In the clarity stage

There were changes that I never made

I can’t explain

But I rose from the dead again

I kept myself sane

I worked on holding on

I breathed again

These days were far too long

I can’t explain

 

Get me up on my feet

Take a little life, break a little life

I am Satellite

Get me off of my knees

Take a little life, break a little life

I am Satellite

Get me up on my feet

Take a little life, break a little life

I am Satellite

Get me off of my knees

Take a little life, break a little life

I am Satellite

 

In the hurricane phase

There were things that I never knew

And everything changed

And the black is folding into blue

Some things remain

I am walking on

I can’t explain

I am anyone

I can’t explain

 

Get me up on my feet

Take a little life, break a little life

I am Satellite

Get me off of my knees

Take a little life, break a little life

I am Satellite

Get me up on my feet

Take a little life, break a little life

I am Satellite

Get me off of my knees

Take a little life, break a little life

I am Satellite
