The Five Star Walrus
This song s called the Five Star Walrus
and Ill bet you can t guess why
its designed to tell the future
its designed to blow your mind
greatest song ever written
you ll never have to sing another one
even when you think its over
it has only just begun
This songs about a mouse and a lion
king and queen of Holy Mount Zion
when I was just a baby I sang sissy folk songs
just like Bob Dylan
Gypsy woman told my momma
you ve got a boy child coming
he ll be a son of a gun
then I got a little older
learned to play the blues and rock & roll
now I don t know what Im doing
Im off the chain Im out of control
Don t you put no label on me
Ill be what the good lord wants me to be
Now that Im done introducing myself
I will begin to cast the spell
music is a form of magic
how it works Ill never tell
Ill tell a mumbo Jumbo story
that to you might make no sense
though it is about the future
it is written in the present tense
this songs about a mouse and a lion
and all the other creatures that live udner the horizon
five men try to grasp the tiger
but the tiger cannot be found
yes the tiger is made of fire
and its going to burn this town
please don t try to fight it
walk with joy into its open jaws
such ecstatic ecstasy
the ripping of its razor claws
feel that tiger s rage
ripping up the New Age
they say there is a dragon
who lives across the western sea
they say that he smokes and drinks all day
and gets high for eternity
they say that the lion and the tiger
are two faces of a coin
Ill flip them when I get to the meeting of the red and assinaboine
doesn t really matter which I choose
I can never lose
little miss mousy waits for the tiger
patiently inside the cave
yes she knows he will be gentle
yes she knows he will behave
though her diamond lotus beauty
opens up pandora s box
she cannot be tempted by the jackle
or the wily fox
little miss mousy
don t be blue
little miss mousy
Im coming home to you

Noman Has Come

Noman Has Come
you need the smoke
you need the fire
to feed your need
your hearts desire
for all the things they say that you shouldn t have
to be free
you need your freedom
like the first people freed from the garden of eden
you can change reality
by changing the way you perceive
you need to know when to stay
you need to know when to leave
you posess miraculous power
watching up high in your wooden tower
sad eyed people of the prairie
don t you worry because the warrior has come
sad eyed people of the prairie
dont you worry because the noman has come
you need a shotgun
you need a rifle
every savior needs a disciple
watch out for Judas
he aims to terrorize
you need a sword you need a shield
when you re lost in the killing field
ghosts dance on the hill
sitting bull buffalo bill
drums beat with precision
you re drunk stoned really high
don t care if you live or die
it s the new religion
sad eyed people of the prairie
don t you worry because the warrior has come
sad eyed people of the prairie
don t you worry because the noman has come

Oh let me go home dancing on a tightrope
wearing Superman s shoes
Im a jedi with a new hope
remembering what god told me
from the burning bush
now is the time to arise
wipe those golden tears from your eyes
run from the tidlewave
now you ve only got one way to survive
and that s to dive right in
Singing wonderfull words of wisdom from wonderfull wonderland
like David Suzuki Im wise
and Ive got a six pack
born in the crossfire hurricane
just like jumping jack
I rode the ancient ferris wheel
for 7 hundred days
caught some rays in the land of the morning calm
since I passed through the gates
at the top of mount Zion
my life has been straight
and my confidence Iron
the Smoky tiger got swallowed by a golden lion
finally succumbing to the song of the Siren
singing wonderfull words of wisdom from wonderfull wonderland
to the invisible mystery
I am a witness
my brand name track suit
was designed for fitness
improving flexibility drinking ginseng tea
some times I go shopping to appease the American gods
behold let ther be light
turning water to wine
turning day to night
Im the new American Idol
hear my shock and awe
with my shock and awe I win the heavy weight title
Singing wonderfull words of wisdom from wonderfull wonderland
Oh Im a living man Ive got work to do
shall we fly to India or shall we fly to peru
the castle has a secret door
through a hidden secret door
I feel electrified
I feel like Im freaking out
Don t freak out
Inner peace Wisdom Discipline
you ve got to get ready to lose
if you want to win
Ill tell you how to dance on the higher planes
perception slows down while time stays the same
Singing wonderfull words of wisdom from wonderfull wonderland
Solomon was a great magician
metamorhposis was his tradition
fit and strong
because of good nutrition
master of numerous secret traditions
scientist astronaut soldier and physician
artist juggler poet and musician
singing wonderfull words of wisdom from wonderfull wonderland

Who is the real Captain Goldstar
Have you heard the story
of the soldier from a far
a midnight raver
who followed yonder star
but nobody knows
the real Captain Goldstar
there s nowhere that he hasn t been
in his time and space machine
Goldstar
Who is Captain Goldstar
He s not crazy
though he s lost his mind
he sees clearly
though he is blind
but nobody knows
the real Captain Goldstar
follower of the pathless way
he knows the secret way to pray
Goldstar
Who is Captain Goldstar
You can tell he s a space man
by the way he holds his sword
though he thinks of nothing
he never gets bored
but nobody knows
the real Captain Goldstar
follower of the pathless way
he knows the secret way to pray
Goldstar
Who is Captain Goldstar
