In the mist of sassafrass Many things will come to pass And the smoke shall rise again To the place above where it began Time will bring the fire and flame Surely as it brought the rain But in the gardens of the moon Time is held within the silver spoon If you're happy where you are Then you need not look too far If you've found your place at last Then you need not use the looking glass
Timothy The Buoys Trapped in a mine all paths caved in And everyone knows the only ones left Were Joe and me and Tim When they broke through to pull us free The only ones left to tell the tale WAS Joe and me Timothy, Timothy, where on earth did you go? Timothy, Timothy, God why don't I know? Hungry as hell no food to eat And Joe said that he would sell his soul For just a piece of meat Water enough to drink TO DRINK for two And Joe said to me, "I'll TAKE a swig And then there's some for you." Timothy, Timothy, Joe was looking at you Timothy, Timothy, God what did we do? I must have blacked out just 'round then 'Cause the very next thing that I could see Was the light of the day again My stomach was full as it could be And nobody ever got around To finding Timothy Timothy...

Crimson flames tied through my ears Flowing high and mighty trapped Countless with fire on flaming roads Using ideas as my map We'll meet on edges, soon, said I Proud 'neath heated brow Ah, but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth Rip down all hate, I screamed Lies that life is black and white Spoke through my skull I dreamed Romantic flanks of musketeers Foundationed deep, somehow Ah, but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand At the mongrel dogs who teach Fearing not I'd become my enemy In the instant that I preach Sisstance plagued by confusion boats Mutiny from stern to bow Ah, but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now ---- Instrumental Interlude ---- Ah, but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now My guard stood hard when abstract threats Too noble to neglect Deceived me into thinking I had something to protect Good and bad, I define these terms Quite clear, no doubt, somehow Ah, but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now
Eight miles high, and when you touch down You'll find that it's stranger than known Signs in the street that say where you're going Are somewhere, just being their own Nowhere is there warmth to be found Among those afraid of losing their ground Rain gray town, known for its sound In places, small faces unbound Round the squares, huddled in storms Some laughing, some just shapeless forms Sidewalk scenes and black limousines Some living, some standing alone
my new downtempo track http://h1.ripway.com/nterlude/outerlude.mp3 told y'all my moog was my favorite trip toy, here's why.
http://h1.ripway.com/nterlude/quantumplation.mp3 remixed outerlude; this one has a nicer beat, same ethereal moog
Soon, oh soon the light, ours to shape for all time, ours the right, the sun will lead us, our reason to be here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are officialy now in the coolest people in the world club, just for saying that.
fuck yeah! do we get badges or something? i reckon. and yeah shit that song is good, id never heard anything like it when i first listened to it.
I know, the bass in that song is nuts. Not to mention the overall Steveness that blows you away the entire time. Havent you ever noticed my screen name?
thanks. I use mainly hardware for the production; a vintage synthesizer and an mpc for beats, and Acid Pro 5 to bring it all together. Reaktor 5 is my software. the link on this page, post 171 ("quantumplation"), has a revised version with a jazzier beat.
sure have, i need to hurry up and get more yes but those money gremlins seem to keep stealing from me..
