now the 9th album is done... parts are already available online... the rest should be visible within 10 days... it is at mp3.com here are the lyrics from that:

DON'T EVER LET THEM CONTROL YOU

To the left and to the right
There is nothing but strife
They have a rulebook they want you to learn
A list of behaviors they say you should take to heart
Don’t ever let them control you
Don’t ever let them mold you
Don’t give into their tyrannical ways
Never let them control you, no how, no way
Above and below you
They feel they must control you
They try to teach you what to think
In the final analysis their ship will sink
Every one rule written in a book
Has behind it some kind of kook
Every word of every law
Is in the end artificial and flawed
Only nature rules but then there are the fools
With all of their silly regulations and rules
Never let them control you
Never Never Never

LOSING HIS LOVE

He was a monster
And no one would ever love him
Except perhaps for she
But who was he kidding
She just needed big, hard loving and lots of cash
So in the end he walked those rainy, crooked, dirty, diseased, darkened streets alone
And there is really no love in this world
It is just a place where each of us comes to one day die
The sooner the luckier for the likes of you or i

COMPUTER

When the peace finally wins out
And there are no winners or losers
And all of the producers have been taxed beyond repair
And everything is supposedly "fair"
And there is no danger and everything is safe and secure
And all of the guns and fatty foods have been removed
And there is no fighting
Then and there the women will be able to nag
What is left of the men to death with impunity
What we really need is constant war
That the male victors keep the women as chattel
Seen but not heard in any serious light
Cooking, cleaning, but certainly not barefoot and pregnant
Instead wearing high stiletto heels and with their tubes tied

MARK OF BEAST

i could buy you if i had money
or take you with just a bit of confidence
or seduce you with just a clever word or three
and then you could pretend you ever had a chance to know me
meanwhile you're all worn out from your weekend
and you keep saying i'm not a real man
but who needs a man when you have uncle sugar?
and are you really a woman?
we're not allowed to discuss that are we?
how many times have you hurt yourself to spite me
but you don't care you are always free
and this is what it's like to wear the mark of the beast

VACCINATION

If you take the vaccination
You have the mark
So you're already lost
Is there redemption for those
Who already have the mark
Are you really afraid of smallpox
As opposed to the so-called man behind the man behind the man?

TYRA BANKS

i miss you so much

TINKININK

you think you're so special
so different
and you can tell what is going on
just by listening to them
but you don't know what it's like
to think of tinkinink
or perhaps they hit you with a meme
you will never listen to me
but i still say that things are never what they seem

KISSINGER

her kitty is more powerful than jesus
she's too much kitty for one rooster
if god laid her down would she finally be satisfied?
does she enjoy men of power more than money itself?
of course not
but what does a man of power need with anyone
but their lifeblood
and she knows that intercourse is the best thing in the world
and he wants drugs to make the world go away
that perhaps it might change
but kissinger is a mindfuck
what is wrong with you people?
can't a guy have a little fun?
or is it all about duty?
through being uptight they killed the beauty
through being uptight they killed the beauty
through being uptight they killed the beauty

TAYLOR'S BRAS

num num nummy
such sweet honey
and you yourself caught
as if between a rock and a hard place
as if a double life were hard enough
you're going off in all directions
and not one of them knows you
and that occult thing you tried
it's stuck with you your entire life
and no one's prayers will ever change a thing
and daily does the spirit hear your blasphemy

ALEXIS AND THE BLACK SATIN BABYDOLL

you are so much better than god
and i love you so much
just like all of the others
almost like we have our own community
too bad sometimes it seems like just a dream
and an empty one at that
but at least there is lucifer
the tried and true
and with that you and i will never fail to get off
welcome to the world outside of god

CHEMICAL CHRISTIANA, DIAPHANOUS

what was that smile on her face
she knew something he had yet to learn
what was that beauty in her eyes
what were those golden stars shooting forth
they told him he didn't love her but they lied
she taught him the hard way
gave him a hard time
but he loved her just as he needed to
even after such an ugly incident
where rumors flew and in his shock he failed to stop them
but still she knew
that he was forever her disciple
and she his chemical christiana
diaphanous chemical christiana
their religion stands to this day as testimony
that there is yet much hidden in the meaning of matrimony
certainly making babies is the easiest thing
and treating them well is quite impossible
this is why they are the way they are

ACCURSED COUNTRY

yes the others are all mostly smelly, stupid, and ugly
but ours is yet the most accursed country
then they call it freedom while denying death
they think they know the exact amount of punishment
to fit each and every so-called crime
except we know they lie
and there is nothing about this land
except that it is thirsty for blood
and who ever told you it's not all about the booty
is a liar
i'm here to set you straight
so let me reiterate
the only thing about this land
is that it thirsts for blood
and all of this talk of freedom
is quite opposed to true love
in the end there are only booty and blood
and that's not at all what this curse is about

GRADUATION NIGHT

she was so pretty in her fancy minidress
and stockings underneath how would he ever be the same
with little 3" pumps and a look in her eye
but he was a bit more than preoccupied
he just wanted to make her come through oral examination
but she would have none of that because of who she was
and over the years he began to really understand
now he is old and gray and wonders where she is
and still to this day he wants to make her come
home to him and his cigarette breath
oh how he cries out her name at night
and knows that if she could love him
they would be side by side
and ride out into that not so kind night
but that's all right
once you understand
that you're not really a woman and she's not really a man

SO CLOSE BUT YET SO FAR

your rent is spent and you can't make a dent in your manifest desire for that girl outside with the fire in her eyes. her panty lines are so fine and you try not to cry or whine as she shows you her breasts beneath a sheer bra under a tight sweater; yes she gave you a glimpse because she knows you're a whimp that way; like a pig-dog seeking out the truffles of her curves and delicate caresses and your keen desire for such to be her daily lesson for you. then she pretended to be offended full well knowing that the way your desire was showing you'd soon be at home alone thinking of her in ways that the church would say are perverted, but she is your church and has never once ever left you in the lurch so despite your sorrows and misgivings you know that in the end she will be forgiving and that she and thee will be in harmony, so close but yet so far for eternity

so close but yet so far was the song on the radio as you were driving home from the grocery store where you remembered having been a whore but you and i both know there is so much more and that hole within your soul one day turns into a deep resonating glow as your consciousness reaches its goal on the shoals of self surrender and all contention is merely mentioned rather than an extension of the state of mind of humankind

from the ridiculous to the sublime are the minions of the dime and some will monkey shine while others grind into timeless aisles of purple fruit and eye of newt into the green scene thing they winged it without a second thought for the overwrought

so close but so far you find is all right and in its own right sublime. you just love it when you want her and can't have her and she knows this and gets all tingly herself at your desire which you wear on your sleeve on this perhaps the very eve of destruction, because after the election and deconstruction and the obstruction and with your compunction for form and function you would not help but share her wantoness at your utter slavishness and that energy you shared was so rare in this programmed institution of collective disillusionment yet the scars you wear are there to tribulate you but at the same time they invigorate you and she's under a spell that she's cast over you because you're just nodes on that global network and a virus cannot be contained within the constraints of just a single solitary soul working with some perhaps at least slightly nefarious goals.

so close but yes so far is your best charade by far; see that flicker in her eyes as she is pleasured by denying that very thing you most want and in the end you both will share in that moment on the ledge, in the gondola or with elephants and tigers there on the hedge with trainers coming out and admonishing you to quit the spurious nocturnal tour of the zoo.

do you remember that night there in the zoo where you in the end turned out not to have been the only fool? but she was there and the only one you even dared to pretend to have cared about but with she there, there was no escape for she had covered you with her veil and your struggles were as if in quicksand, worse than to no avail.

so close but yet so far; it's now your state of being; that deliciously miserable sharing of the timeless stream of everlasting everything yet nothing...

WEENEEWEENG

there is a mob scene
behind the cover of the magazine
but them and they are green
weeneeweeng
terror schmerror should be a scene
but the mob thing keeps it interesting
i mean they kill with seeming impunity
under the guise of weeneeweeng
and supposedly being drunk is sublime
in the face of the caustic overmind
in a trance after the death of romance
poverty breeds true believers
just take your pills like a good subject

MMMORTORANO

hey there mm
he wants to tell you
just how much he loves you
just how much he cares
but after everything that's happened
sometimes it seems there's not much there anymore

even though the flame may blow cold
he still thinks of you
and everything you were capable of doing
and how you reminded him of agnes moorehead
such beauty no mortal should ever know

hey there mortorano
peace be upon you
and mazel tov
and shabbat shalom

you sure were fine
nearly sublime
everything changes
yet stays the same
and no one is able to wrap their mind around it
that's why the split

POLICE STATE

she has no recourse against haarp
unless she is that type of savant
but how could that be
is she a healer?
they're sending out fake emails
in her name
elf is outside her game
ehf is also to blame
for her seeming helplessness
in the face of the ongoing police state
they tore him apart tore out his heart
and against haarp he had no recourse
and they were wondering if he would ever find
out if he was as savant
but by then it might have been too late
but when the snake eats its tail
nothing has ever changed...
