Far Side of Crazy- by: Wall of Voodoo

I'm Pilate and Jesus
And I wept when Lennon died
Yet I envied his assailant
When I visited the shrine
I cried for all those Beatle Fans
So old so quick they grow
I follow the example to destroy
What I love most

And I remain on the far side of crazy
I remain the mortal enemy of man
No hundred dollar cure will save me
Can't stay a boy in no man's land

I once hid my lust for stardom
Like a filthy magazine
I stroked the shaft on my guitar
And watched you on the screen
I've become now what I wanted
To be all along
A psychopathic poet
The Devil's bastard son

And I remain on the far side of crazy
I remain the mortal enemy of man
No hundred dollar cure will save me
Can't stay a boy in no man's land

I shot an actor for an actress
But he lived to make a joke
Shot two other men who could have been
The bodys of my folks
I stagger toward the future
I stagger day to day
Plot revenge inside of darkness
I am withering in pain

And I remain on the far side of crazy
I remain the mortal enemy of man
No hundred dollar cure will save me
Can't stay a boy in no man's land

New Dreams- by: unknown forgotten

I tremble in the night of tomorrow's 'morrow
What am I to do
I can't help it
In my dreams do you appear
So much do I remember
So much do I fear
Oh angel
Don't you worry


I'm living in the bystanders point of view
Never do I help myslef
Never do I try more than I know I should
I'll just disregard everything
As I am, and always do
I feel these blues, they hover over my soul
I think I'll think no more

And always realize:
Life fades away

Ocean Floor- by: unknown forgotten

All along the ocean floor
I drug my feet
Coming to the realization
That we will never again meet
All around was the distant sound
Of dolphins laughter and delight
And everything seemed so dreamy I started to cry

There was seaweed higher than the sky
It shifted so effortlessly in the depths and tide
And as my feet slid though the murky sand and deep
I grew tired under the rippling filtered sun light shining down
So I layed down on a corral rock
It was softer than I thought it would feel
The octopus let me make him my pillow
and there in the oceans depth I slept
Calm sleep like nothing I've ever felt
The silence was immense and the orcas lulled my mind
The little fish danced towards the surface
Light reflcting off their shiny scales and glimmering around
The sea anenomae was poisonous to the touch
But I wasn't aware and gave him a good soft pet
His venom did not hurt, nor did it kill
But it caused me to sleep forever
And down there on the bottom of the ocean
I do sleep still
