Terrific explosions of experience And the masters of all things take token hands with knobs to turn respond to my demands And if ever I tread lightly And forget my name and birth There’s a heart that’s open Broadcast soaking Buried in the earth Humility courage In the drifting soils of time Send brightly meaning verses Blending in my body’s mind And the tortures of experiencing Arguments and strife Do not prevent the seeking man From rescuing his wife Yisroel Arye - Electronic Drums,...

Share the News Addicted to the corner store Why can’t I go there no more Holding out for a better game All these animals think the same Fishing with my favorite hook Don’t make me take a second look Freezer burns out Riding down the wavy crown You drink so hard But dress so neat Strolling down the groovy street And all the people you try to greet As you share the news like a fool Bones creaking in the right hand lane Why can’t I ever act insane Fortune smiles on my neighborhood Fear of...

Important Well of course every answer has a question And behind every sultan plays a tune Can’t count on the help though I’m certain That there’s nobody more important to me than you In the fall of the stream appears an image Past a raining halo Brooklyn Avenue All the creatures gave you courage now they’ve vanished Cause there’s nobody more important to me than you When you go you go for it now don’t you When You stay you stay cause that’s your thing Many nights could pass before you find...

Foreign streets you walk On your way to madness Subtle smiles you meet along the way The bird will talk expose your secret’s address She’s had it in for you since your wedding day They held you underground And made you swallow wine Spiked with turpentine And turned your walls to snakes Revealed your destiny Divined with your third eye That on the inside there was still sunshine What kind of lion would roar then flee so quickly And by your side a wounded wolf and sheep No sense to hide their...

Some like it easy Some like it straight O Lord, when'll I get mine How can you please me Say its never too late But Lord, where goes my time A sudden breeze A simple mind Was it you I left behind I stuck around `til the hairpin bend Where's this love I was promised Where's my special friend O Lord, where does this end Flame by the docks Just beneath the waves O Lord, your sunshine burns Deliberate talks my hands behave O Lord the season turns These savage dreams I used to hide Where do they...

Last stop on the train to utopia Feels like we’ve been here before ‘Cause the mood in our car’s getting ominous Got my family standing right by the door There’s a bridge in the dark as we’re traveling Both sides drop to the abyss Seems like forever since the land was visible And you gave me that last carefree kiss Will the sirens awake you in paradise When they sound way too good to be true Did you use these last moments to sing a spell Or like most hide in fear of the flu I feel lonely as...

Exploring the stories behind the songs. Eagle & the Lion Foreign streets you walk On your way to madness Subtle smiles you meet along the way The bird will talk expose your secret’s address She’s had it in for you since your wedding day They held you underground And made you swallow wine Spiked with turpentine And turned your walls to snakes Revealed your destiny Divined with your third eye That on the inside there was still sunshine What kind of lion would roar then flee so quickly And by your side a wounded wolf and sheep No sense to hide their wisdom trump your trickery Step outside your destiny awaits They bound you from behind And took your staff away The Eagle and the Lion Tossed in the flames As the smoke rose from the fire You breathed it in again Your tears turned into shapes The bed where she still sleeps The arrow plunging deep The diamonds set around The circle of the crown You had to fall to find That on the inside there was still sunshine YISROEL ARYE GOOTBLATT - Rhodes BRIAN STOLTZ - Guitar SCOTT METZGER - Guitar DIMITRI MODERBACHER - Upright Bass PETE KARP - Drums
