Invasive Species Lyrics

  In the midst of darkness…

 

“In the midst of death, life persists

in the midst of hurt, truth persists

    in the midst of darkness, light persists”                         

-Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

 

 

  Invasive Species: The First Wave

 

Fire becomes the smoke

breath takes the fire

The rise and fall becomes the breath

The wind for now, a caress

 

Fire steal my mind, they try to steal the flame

A move in the dance,

it seems the eyes stay the same

You’re my invasion,

you’re my invasion…

 

 

   LIVIN’ THE DREAM

 

Light so bright, fluorescent night

I wanna see the world in a new pair of glasses

Passenger ships,  technicolor lips

Rails whirl around the street flowers, dirty beauties

Ah Livin’ the dream

 

No sound at all, buildings ‘bout to fall

I don’t care cause we’re going down

to the movies

 

Chinatown green, bump in the street

Sleepless walk slowly like it’s New York City

Ah Livin’ the dream

 

Productive towers too big to fall over by noon big weather

we'll be pleased the turning sails

 

Smoke billows clouds, the split in the sky,

For home the frog and butterfly’s

highest point is to breathe, and now they’re free

 

Livin’ the dream

 

 

You're the fire, I'm the breeze

 

Sometimes

   Sometimes I   

Sometimes I see from the inside

Stereo lips, switchblade hips

You’re a surprise,   those bloodshot eyes

 

You’re gonna see the dream,

Waterfall  hear the scream

You’re the fire,  I’m the breeze

 

Modern times, ten thousand lies

Sometimes I see  from the outside

Champagne kiss,  Radio bliss

You’re in disguise    colors hypnotize

 

You’re gonna live the dream,

Cascade of a rapid stream       

You’re the earth,  I’m the sea

 

You’re gonna live to see   

Falling of the powers that be   

You’re the money, I’m the greed

 

You’re gonna live the dream,

Ocean splash the wave serene

You’re the fire and I’m the breeze

 

You’re the earth, I’m the sea   

You’re the sun, I’m the tree

You’re the ocean, I’m the dream

 

You’re the fire, I’m the breeze

 

 

 

YOU BETTER RUN

 

You better run, you better hide

You better run, run, hide, run,

anywhere you want to

Let it roll     roll

 

You’re lookin’ up, you’re lookin’ down

You’re lookin’ up, up, down, up,

anywhere you want to

Let it roll     roll      roll oh oh oh

 

You’ll never learn, you let it slide

You’ll never learn, learn, slide, learn,

anywhere you want to

Let it roll      roll     roll oh oh oh   roll oh oh oh

 

I’m the truth, you cannot buy

I’m gonna steal, steal, lie, steal tell you one is two then

Let you go     go      roll   

roll oh oh oh     roll oh oh oh   roll oh oh oh

 

 

INVASIVE SPECIES: THE SECOND WAVE

 

The fire becomes the smoke

The breath takes the fire

The rise and fall becomes the breath

The wind for now, a caress

 

The fires steal my mind away

They try to steal the words in flames

I begin to lead, a move in the dance

It seems the eyes stay the same

 

Save me from myself, I have become

Buildings fall from words...

She’s behind it all it’s about to fall

What have you become, a simple guess is your truth The breath takes the fire

 

The water washes the fires away

As the wind brings the truth

Again the earth leads a move in the dance

The breath takes the fire

 

We have become an invasive species…

 

 

TORN APART (Streets are calling)

 

In my body, in my bed, in my head, in my heart

There’s a whistlin’, in the wind, falling leaves, blown apart

There she lay, not in my bed, not in my head, in my heart

Crying distance, hold my head, seeing red, torn apart

 

In the city, waving flags, burning stakes, holding hands

There’s a murmur, she’s in bed, underneath evening breeze

Is the moment, just to breathe, apparition, fantasy

As the clock ticks, hearts believing, hearts deceiving, ripped apart

 

Streets are calling by the time I was takin’

It doesn’t matter moving forward happens now

Stuck in the time of the confidence breakin’

In the city from the cradle where the battles are

Until now I was such a fool

My eyes are open got to see where mind is from

 

In my body, in my bed, in my head, in my heart

There’s a whistlin’, in the wind, falling leaves, blown apart

There she lay, not in my bed, not in my head, in my heart

Crying distance, hold my head, seeing red, torn apart

Conscious channeling the words they’re sayin’

The city’s living a new beginning now

Now’s the time we all awaken

The space station now is where my tickets from…

 

“I cannot bare to think of that day, mmm there’s too much.

It recalls the grief that filled my heart, and the weeping for the loss.

I wish I could finds the words,

tell you all I’ve been, felt and suffered.

That bit of pain that follows when all we love is taken from us.

Take your last look of it.”

 

Streets are calling once again for the taking,

drift into another scene that’s happening now

Tonight everything’s so new

my mind is open now I’m living the space and time

 

You’re the one who’s gonna make it,

this life is just a flash in an infinite sky

 

INVASIVE SPECIES: THE THIRD WAVE

 

Fire becomes the smoke

Breath takes the fire

The rise and fall becomes the breath

The wind for now, a caress

 

Fires steal my mind away

They try to steal the words with flames

I begin to lead, a move in the dance

it seems the eyes stay the same

 

The water washes the fires away

As the wind brings the truth

Again the earth leads a move in the dance

 

The rise and fall becomes the breath

We have become

I have become

We have become

I have become

 

Invasive species

A New Monster Lyrics

Modern Man  (Hastings)

I wanna see you just a runaway
Never see your pretty face again ok 
Another day in an adrenaline
Army tanks and a bloody crucifix
We want an airborne ranger
Uncle Sam needs a modern man

It's you 

Sound the siren don't you hear the call
Your pictures on the dartboard up against my wall
Lady princess she's the queen for a day
Hidden powers never seem to go astray
Its just another coincidence
I'd take your everything If I had the chance
Modern man Modern man Modern man
I don't care He don't care

It's you

Modern man Modern man Modern man
I don't care yeah!

It's you



One Person Nation (Hastings)

Mistaking the rain for one sunny day Oh yeah Oh yeah
Ocean swimmer sing hear my motor ring Oh yeah Oh yeah
Demonstrate the game, point, line and plane Oh yeah Oh yeah
Fate gave you a name in a golden ring Oh yeah Oh yeah

One more time for you just a simple observation
I can see your face you're a one person nation

What are you to do when it mirrors you Oh yeah Oh yeah
Get fat and paid is the name of the game Oh yeah Oh yeah
Name your price for fame what a shame Oh yeah Oh yeah
Sacrifice the pawns for your strive to be king

One more time for you just another implication
I can see your face I need no explanation!

Another livin' large off of pyramid schemes
Its the all seeing eye that seems to know your dreams Oh Yeah
Awaiting for the fall of the king and queen
Another takes the crown by different means Oh Yeah

One more time for you just another implication
I can see your face you're a one person nation




Speed Of Light (Hastings)

"With five easy pieces, you're in control!", she said.
Five original races to the species, I don't know
Smiles, taxes, saturn's rings
I forgot to mention the Maserati, holy shit!

Mexican radio, streets that shine at night!
Five fuckin' tied sticks of dynamite
Sticky sweetness under control
I swear we're movin' a SPEED OF LIGHT-

I wanna be a airbourne overrated!
Lovin' givin' singin' swingin' a golden rule-
A player in a virtual world
A player has the freedom to carry out,
whatever you do!

Speed of light



Ça Plana Pour Moi  (DEPRYCK, WARD)

Wham! Bam! mon chat Splash
Git sur mon lit a bouffe
sa langue en buvant tout mon whisky
quant a moi peu dormi, vide, brime
J'ai du dormir dans la gouttiere
Ou j'ai eu un flash
Ooo ooo ooo ooh!
En quatre couleurs!

Allez hop! Un matin
Une louloute est venue chez-moi
Poupee de cellophane, cheveux chinois
un sparadrap, une gueule de bois
a bu ma biere dans un grand verre en caoutchouc
Ooo ooo ooo ooh!
Comme un indien dans son igloo

Ça plane pour moi, ça plane pour moi
Ça plane pour moi moi moi moi moi
Ça plane pour moi
Ooo ooo ooo ooh!
Ça plane pour moi!

Allez hop! la nana quel panard!
Quelle vibration!
de s'envoyer sur le paillasson
Limee, ruinee, videe, comblee
You are the King of the divan!
Qu'elle me dit en passant
Ooo ooo ooo ooh!
I am the King of the divan (couch)!

Ça plane pour moi, ça plane pour moi
Ça plane pour moi moi moi moi moi
Ça plane pour moi
Ooo ooo ooo ooh!
Ça plane pour moi!

Allez hop! t'occupe t'inquiete
touche pas ma planete
It's not today
Quel le ciel me tombera sur la tete
et que la colle me manquera
Ooo ooo ooo ooh!
Ça plane pour moi

Allez hop! ma nana s'est tiree
S'est barree enfin c'est marre a tout casse
L'evier, le bar me laissant seul
Comme un grand connard
Ooo ooo ooo ooh!
Le pied dans le plat

Ça plane pour moi, ça plane pour moi
Ça plane pour moi moi moi moi moi
Ça plane pour moi
Ooo ooo ooo ooh!
Ça plane pour moi!
Ça plane pour moi, ça plane pour moi
Ça plane pour moi moi moi moi moi





Demuzi, The Wild Bull (Hastings)

The soul, "wanders from the home of the blessed,
being born into all kinds of mortal forms, passing from one
laborious path of life to another, I am also one of these, an
exile and a wanderer from the Gods," "Ere now, I too have
been a boy, a girl, a bush, a bird, and a scaly fish in the
sea." -Empedocles

A special number was ten, built up of one + two + three + four,
and contained the point, line, plane, and solid--it was known as
the Tetractys
A wild bull who has lain down, lives no more, the
wild bull who has lain down, lives no more, Demuzi, the wild
bull, who has lain down, lives no more...

...the chief shepherd, lives no more, the chief shepherd, lives
no more, the wild bull who has lain
down, lives no more...

"On his coat you have made the jackals lie down, in my
husband's fold you have made the ravens dwell, his reed pipe-
the wind will have to play it, my husband's songs, the north wind
will have to sing them", - The most bitter cry- perhaps
(Innana) -a-n-a-n-n-i

The wild bull has died, the wild bull has died,
The wild bull has died...





I'm Your biggest Fan (Hastings)

I want to see you, want to keep you,
want to love you, in your sleep...
Want to thrill you, want to show you,
how it can be, in your dreams...

Nefarious quest, wanderin' in, T. V. or
coffee, what was in your hand?

Virgo woman, knife in her hand, I don't
know why she's laying right next to you...

Bloody hands, Aquarian man, wandering
right down a right down into you...

Ten times a freak, you heard them say,
playin' and sayin' I'm your biggest fan...

I'm your biggest fan...





WHITE DEVIL  (Hastings)

White devil comes inside you
white devil if you only knew
white devil dark irony -hmm

white devil make me proud and
white devil make no sound
white devil in deluxe
squeezing you like a thrift store tux

white devil so pretty
white devil big big city
white devil shining lights
they shine on you blistering white

white devil hear the sound
white devil insanely loud
white devil bang your dead
its all in your head, bang your dead




Walk From Carolina (Hastings)

Sweetest panorama sweeter than the wine
Sweeter than the country in their time o' dying

Sweet ride from Memphis on a steel worker's ride
Peein' in the forest about every half a mile
uh huh huh huh huh huh uh huh huh

The sun rise Korea, who can save you from the storm?

GOLD (STEWART/HASTINGS)

When the lights go down in the California town
People are in for the evening
I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar
My heart beatin' time with my breathin'
Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold

Well my buddy Mr. Jones he's a-workin' sellin' bones
And he makes two fifty for an hour
He's got rhythm in his hands and he's tappin' on the cans
Sings rock and roll in the shower
Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold

Ah, the California girls are the greatest in the world
Each one's a song in the making
Singin' rock to me I can hear the melody
The story is there for the takin'
Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold

Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold

When the lights go down in the California town
People are in for the evening
I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar
My heart beatin' time with my breathin'
Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold

Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold
People out there turnin' music into gold
People out there turnin' music into gold

People out there turnin' music into gold, into gold
People out there turnin' music into gold, into gold
