"Beautiful Stealth, In A Church" Poem & Lyrics by Don Falcone
the ass ass mass ass
of oof oof roof oof
folds his ong ong song ong
under the ench ench bench ench
could it be love?
/luther oother an
lois ois, ooper eroes all/ (2x)
/a pure tan from opera opera one/ (2x)
who owns who owns who owns
a truth from the makers
of a hollar dollar mahler of fistfuls
and how much should a hero get paid?
ipso facto
kribtoe crabtoe
be air fool

ipso facto

in a church . . .

of oof oof roof off
folds his ong ong song ong
under the ench ench bench ench
where we
we watch from the ands
with our ands
folded over our ands

"The Unknown" Lyrics by Don Falcone)
I choose my place, outline of flesh
remember my name, purpose of fame
to dance around the spin of birth
Comes the flash, new lease on life
stir to wake, pause to love
I like the feel for what it's worth
I like the feel for what it's worth
We take from the hand
and give to the world the unknown
When we like the night we like the moves
we know we're right when we forfeit our dues
we want to hold it all for all time
Control of ease on top of the world
get to the soul and make it roll
knowing it all makes it fine
knowing it all makes it fine
We take from the hand
and give to the world the unknown
What works for years should work for less
what's in your heart is the place to start
and the words you choose should never lose
because gods they come and gods they go . . .
We take from the hand
and give to the world the unknown

"Dark Theatre" Poem by Knut Gerwers
We are sitting in a darkened theatre
waiting for the light to sculpture our vision into focus and shape
to let our movie begin
feeding us a motherload of images
invocations, re-evolutions
dissolving sunsets mutate into mushrooms
no frames can carry these pictures
every image conceals an illness of information
your sight infected by visions
your vision got spliced - and unattended
as / your veins run out of blood
as / your body is stuck in stand-by mode
as / memory collapses under it's own weight
cathode consciousness' fading
a blink a stroke a blink
time is drying out
in the face of the burning rays
a media-medusa throwing these projections back at you
those (overheated) images know nothing about mercy
lichtstaerke lautstaerke bildstaerke
watching the outer limits imploding
a black nirvana for the sense-less

"Speak To The Wind" Lyrics by Don Falcone
Look to the center of the tallest tree,
look to the top of the sky
I see faces that move like they're trying to cry,
I feel a chill, and I grow old
I put my hands in the middle of a pool of dirt,
reach for the treasure inside
I let them sing like they never have sung before,
I hear a sound, and it's my voice
I speak to the wind of what I don't know,
I speak to the wind, I may never know
Roll over dig down, open lips make sound,
speak like you want to say something new
Roll over give ground, open lips make sound,
speak like you want to say something new
Roll over dig down, open lips make sound,
speak like you want to say something new
Roll over give ground, speak like you want to,
roll over give ground, speak like you can

"Secret Invention" Lyrics by Don Falcone
I've got a secret
A secret invention
I've got a secret
It goes like this . . .
I want to keep out the noise, keep it pure
I want to keep it concealed, keep it to myself
It's deep in power and it's deep in wealth
But I wouldn't want to lose it in a sea of stealth
I've got a secret
A secret invention
I've got a secret
I want to keep out the noise, keep it pure
I want to keep it concealed, keep it to myself
It's a tool for all ages, with an eye to progress
But I can't reveal the truth -- I'm in the middle of a test
I've got a secret
A secret invention
I've got a secret
It goes like this . . .
I want to keep out the noise, keep it pure
I want to keep it concealed, keep it to myself
It doesn't need a god, and it doesn't need law
I can give it life, I can give it my all
I've got a secret
A secret invention
I've got a secret
It goes like this . . .

"The Eagle Has Landed" Lyrics by Malcolm Mooney
The eagle has landed
The eagle has landed
The eagle has landed
The eagle has landed
Squares prayer
Squares prayer
Squares prayer
Squares prayer
Just wake up one in the morning
comb my hair
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
birds will fly
birds will fly
birds will fly
birds will fly
just pay your days to stay
five years to
Square...
I said comb my hair
I'll take the county fair
Squares prayer
Squares prayer
Squares prayer
Squares prayer
Woke up this morning
and I comb my hair
I said I want to fly, fly, fly, fly
county fair
county fair
county fair
county fair
I said the square, square, square, square, square, square,
70 years to stay alive
70 years to stay alive
I don't know if I can stand this job
I'm so hip, I'm so cool
I'll think I'll have to go to schoool
Squares prayer
Squares prayer
Squares prayer
Squares prayer
comb my hair, county fair
comb my hair, county fair
comb my hair, county fair
comb my hair, county fair
comb my hair, county fair
comb my hair,
The eagle has landed
The eagle has landed
Jack
