Vinnie
David Fiuczynski
Vinnie’s looking for a band– Jazz Funk Thrash Rock
With distortion on– distortion off
The moving grooving grinding cruisin’ dissidence (sic
Twelve-tone beat atonal heat nonsense chords that always meet
Got it, right! Got it, wrong sorry but I’ll pass y’number
on
Vinnie’s looking for the Pepper sound
Still red-hot but heavier bound
Brain child of pubescent psalms
Vinnie’s looking for the Pepper sound
Still red-hot but heavier bound
Schoenberg over hairy palms
It’s fine to mix the music but please don’t abuse it
’Cause the groove is Black so don’t get whack on me
It’s fine to be selective, to see it all collective
But ya gotta give the credit where it’s due
Thank the funk Thank the rock Thank you funk
Brother looking for a band
Can be a real pain in the butt
Y’waste a lotta time
Meet a lotta nuts
Like Vinnie the Meatball
He was a real eat-all
Who couldn’t or wouldn’t
Express his quest
He used at best hype terminology
But 2 me that’s all Cornyology
C’mon make a stand
Bring y’own plan
B’ y’self Or let it go

Man
Fima Ephron
This is my life it’s not for sale
I won’t be a fool in your school of misinformation
not a puppet for your world domination
I have a soul, and a mind as well
Don’t think that you can tell me Lies
I realize the truth
Green green no, I’m not a machine
I’m a human being
Not a robot mechanized, computerized, paralyzed, hypnotized
I realize it’s time to stop
I am the water rushing hear the sound like a sunshower
all the colors of the rainbow
flowing down from the mountain, from the mountain
I’m a free man with a free mind
I have a dream
I am young, but my soul is on the run
If you look you will see
There is something for you and me

Cult
of the Internal Sun
David Fiuczynski
I know what’s good for me
Internal Sun is where I really wanna be
And I perceive You like nobody else
Shine on I and I and me
Please teach receptive minds
Eternal One awaits you oh so passionately
And how She loves you
How He loves you
He and She are One and you are me
I don’t see You yet I see You
Once was blind but now I really see
I don’t see You yet I see You
One is all is all is One is me
My name is Clyde I’m in your scope
I’m into light without dope
I’m the color on your palette
The canvas on your easel
I’m slammin’ like a mallet
Fired up like diesel
I’m the music monk of Zen
Sliced pineapple dusted with cayenne
I’m the buzz among the bees
I’ve got the fragrance made of melodies
Fragrance made of melodies
Fragrance made of melodies

Jazz Hop– the word you heard (So)
Now what is the word you heard

Bird The word to Herb Word to Bird
Rhythmin-ing Rhythming is king
Word to funk Funk, Bird & Monk Skunk,
The rhythm is funky

Blue
in Green
music: Bill Evans; lyric and arrangement David Fiuczynski
The Vampire’s Song
Oh, how sweet the pain like silver
Your blood is blue and then turns green at night,
Your eyes seek fear,
Your sighs are tears of long lost loving passion
Your veins are hot with anguished blood
You killed, you tore away from God
I remember when He made you lie down in green pastures
He leadeth you to the still waters
He restoreth your soul
Now that you walk through the valley of the shadow of death
You shall fear no evil
For He is not with you
You are all alone

Graffiti
Cemetery
lyric & music: David Fiuczynski; rap: Dean Bowman
Art. What is it? Asking quizzically
What’s this? A bottle in front of me
Grinding feeling rougher than the norm
Throw a tape of the quiet storm
Flash dreams’bout the last birth of a nation
In genes beneath the last stop at station
A culture, buried at subway here
No wonder some people are called the devil
But God favors those with the biggest cannon
And even killers of the culture need a companion
Spare nothing’bout quarter nor sugar for dime
Woe to the conquered in the face of the crime
Better chillin’ on a ledge catchin’ tropical breeze
Than in jail coppin’ sexually transmitted diseases
And lost like craft of many or most
In a mediocre world no need to boast
Green Blue switch lights
Blackness cut by blinding white headlights
Silence and peace of art treasures hidden away
Between stations Stillness framed by cold metal angles
Ghost stop sculptures of Strobe light animation
When trains pass by
Exuberant zig zag of calligraffiti
Comes alive in this modern city
Like ancient cave paintings transformed to this day
Buried alive, left to decay
Like a gem in the mud never ceasing to shine
Surrounded by people this moment is mine
Ancient hieroglyphics of our day
Burst alive in a surprising display of
Sparks flying through strange incantation
Girders choke light causing strobe light claymation
On the Writing on the wall in this lonely shrine
Train passes by but this moment can’t be denied
Brooding energy ready to explode at any time
Brightens up my day riding the subway
Same as my craft tries to awaken the hidden and lost
Graffiti cemetery locked away in your heart and mind

Smile
in a Wave (Theme From Jack Johnson)
music: Miles Davis; lyric, arrangement David Fiuczynski
I came down, was thrown on the ground
Searching for smiles, getting frowns
Wanting musical highs like Messian & Miles
But all I was getting was downs
Give me some’Colour, give me some’Bone,
Give me relief or leave me alone
Give me some Boots’, give me some’Brains
Got nothing to lose and all to gain
I’ve been subject to a certain suspect
Who played like they hate what they said that they liked
I won’t sublet or pretend to beget
A shackled down music that’s nothing but hype
All I want to show you is a smile in a wave
Next thing to dark blue is deep purple haze
I just want to show you a vision of the Sun
So glad to know you,’cause you’re second to none

Wedding
in Sarajevo
Lyric: Dean Bowman; music: Jojo Mayer
All lift glasses to the blessed new day
Offer kisses to the bride
And the groom-who-is-not-to-be
In a bombing by their own… shelling and a killing
Offer kisses to the bride of Sarajevo
Married posthumously at his own funeral
Grieving widow as the bride
And the mother-still-yet-to-be
In their God’s eye
They are one Same as you and me
Offer kisses to the bride of Sarajevo
Born of plenty, gone too soon
Was the groom Lying at the feet of lies
That make brothers kill themselves
In the West that won their minds
Same as you and me
Offer kisses to the bride of Sarajevo
So blessed Having a baby
To die in a refugee camp
There’s a wedding in Sarajevo
A wedding in Sarajevo
Out there by the graveyard
Watch out for the mortars I guess
We’ve been chosen To live and to free the land
There’s a wedding in Sarajevo
A wedding in Sarajevo
Out there by the graveyard
Watch out for the mortars
By the power vested in All that love is
Sacrificing those who care
Not of what group that they belong
People here all look the same
Same as you and me Nothing else left
But to grieve for Sarajevo

Hope
music & brain dead lyrics by David Fiuczynski
loosely interpreted by Dean
What do U know? I’m bustin’ out yo’ radio
Whatcha gonna say when your radio busts on U today
Whatcha gonna do when your radio busts all over you
Where you gonna go when y’ radio busts,
I hope you I hope you know,
where you have y’ radio & can tune to that funky station
And if you don’t & just sway 2 & fro
you’re helping an un-funked situation
Yo’ I wanna do my thing & do it now–– get funky
No don’t wanna something that I’m not–– like a
monkey
Ho I only want a chance to throw it down–– get funky
Yo! I’m through with this tired hoax
Tell a story of the honky dory
Living in the past
Kicks off his shoes destroys the blues
Lets splice his ass
Knows nothing’bout the old doo-wop
Never even heard the word bebop
Don’t try & tell’m’bout hip-hop
When his radio busts I hope he I know
U know where U have y’ radio
And it’s tuned to that funky station I know
U know where y’ feets supposed to go
So help me with this funky verification
– monkey never told me what U got to do––
eat porcupine– the donkey never told me anything’bout U––
assholes & elbows– I wanna take a shower with my raincoat on––
unlike a firebird– I wanna ride my bike on the spokes

Kermes
Macabre
David Fiuczynski
And there’s sand & salt between your teeth
beneath the smiling sun
The air is blue w/ fun & games for what’s about 2 come
I remember fire lights when the day was about to die
I remember spider legs of smoke across the sky
And the Great Blue plashes
softly greeting waves of distorted faces with me––
I was watching some tv, watching tv today
Everyone tryin’ to be real funky
But don’t have jack to say
But go’head, go’head play some shit instead
’cause you will never never ever ever funk
Go’head, Go’head
Play some shit instead
’Cause if you do you’ll never ever ever funk
We’ve got professional wrestling and soap operas
Corny commercials and plastic malls
We celebrate mediocrity and worship crap
This country went to camp and never came back
“Come over here boy have a guitar
You’re gonna go far You’re gonna fly high”–
and then you’re gonna die
That’s the fee for eMpTy-V(ision)

Another
Sucka
Fima Ephron
Living in the city can be a gas
if you know what you do and watch your ass
when the pusher man comes up in your face
ignorance is bliss but just in case he tries
to stand in your way tell him no thank you have a nice day
’cause you don’t want him to get mad
the result of a confrontation could be sad for you
so just go along your way
and when you cross the street make sure to pray
’cause the taxi drivers can get real crazy
and the cops they sometimes get hazy
while they sniff that coke off the dash,
And then crash oh my god another mistake
now you’re flat just like a pancake
now when you make it to the other side of the street
the one-armed beggar man with no shoes on his feet
will ask you for a nickel or a dime
to get some coffee or a bottle of wine
that’s when you give it up
there’s another on his way
another sucka is born everyday
another sucka, another sad sucka
another sucker, is born everyday
Pitch man in his Mercedes stops at the light
all of the ladies are looking real sexy
trying to impress they are the best
I like the ones in the coffee houses
the way they give sloppy jobs through my trousers
they get hot drink decaf then they’re off
so I guess I’ll spend another night with your wife
go back home pick up the phone and have your phone sex
the next best thing to being there
’til I get my bill oh well yeah it was a thrill
While it lasted, but now you better turn up the stereo
and blast it to try and drown out the sound of my neighbors getting nasty
another sucka, another sad sucka
another sucka, is born everyday
But still I like the city in the summertime
Thrash gods wailing, they got me feeling fine
You see the brother lookin’ like a broomstick
Once looked slick But he wouldn’t put a rubber on his dick
Now his life’s an open sore
And all his fine clothes they don’t fit him no more
His body’s at the tailor bein’ fitted for a suit
for a noisy celebration
another sucka, another sad sucka
another sucka, is born everyday

Dawkins’ Sound of Love
Dean Bowman, David Fiuczynski
Chorus
Soul surfin’ down
Who gets the crown?
Well, I’ll take my rhyme time
Step on easy down
Where I’ll take the express train to Lovetron
Who in the world some still may wonder
Of the glorious power of chocolate thunder
A legend at the most
Down low on the post
Guard him and you’re toast
Like David Thompson going coast to coast
Straight out of high school double teamed
Baby phat and dreamin’
General Managers schemin’
About the packaging of power
And who could forget the broken glass groove
Stop
Pop
Cop
Drop
Chocolate Dawkins finding a niche
Like Coleman Hawkins a switch
From life in Lovetron
Living a dreaming a dunkathon
And don’t even step to Thunder ‘bout resistance
You can always go the distance
With impatient impolite persistence
And in a brother’s loving village can’t measure the spillage
From the fallout from all the rings up in Boston
And who could forget the broken glass groove
Stop
Pop
Cop
Drop

MIND
IS A RIVER
(Dean Bowman/Daniel Sadownick)
When I sought truth
Religion seemed too choreographed
Though still in my youth
I questioned my own existence
No moral guidance cleansed
My yearning to know about the outside
Chased my tomorrows away
I couldnt be too long for sure
Because sometimes you can know
Too much for your own bit of good
And following the wrong path
To your dreams and down on your knees
My mind is a river, let flow
Let it flow
Truth captured my soul and
Never back did I have to look
You came into my life and soon
Became like my favorite book
And I read it, oh, always needed
To be made in the person of you
So true and now the joy in my life
Is your love
Because sometimes you can know
Too much for your own bit of good
And following the wrong path
To your dreams and down on your knees
My mind is a river, let flow

Woe to the Conquered
Dean Bowman/David Fiuczynski
What is this gift I must prepare to Giftwrap or to sixpack?
Or is it just to live each day
With wonder of the obvious?
Are we just subjects to be shuffled
And hustled muscled fleeing up a tree
Or it just to hear viv victivus
Woe To The Conquered!
Am I my shirt to wear and
Tie to tear up burn my hair up?
Or it just to live each day with
Wonder of whats killing us?
Are we but pawns but to be
Pried again pricked again
And strung up from a tree?
Or it just to hear viv victivus
Woe To The Conquered!
So you want my love
So good for your humanity
So in love with your worldly gifts
But not in love with you!
Woe To The Conquered
Where does this christening take place For knowledge or demolish
All that your socialization
Teaches us to be alright now
Can there be victory without knowing
And showing that you can
Truly be yourself
Or is it just to hear viv victivus
Woe To The Conquered
So you want my love
So good for your humanity
So in love with your worldly gifts
But I dont give a fuck about you!
Woe To The Conquered
Viv Victivus!
Woe To The Conquered

FAITH IN THE FREE
Dean Bowman lyric; Dean Bowman,
Jeff Haynes, Kelvyn Bell music
Faith In The Free
So now youngns is
Going to the museum
Looking at statues
Drawing images from the
Last train to Birdland
But that was too long ago
All over now
Gotta have more faith...
Faith In The Free
Go to the shelf
And dust the statue
Spit shine bootlick
Slave flunky
Imitating the movies
Gotta have more faith...
Faith In The Free
Start it off
Because its easy
To follow
Easier to be led
Than to lead
So sing in the key of F swing
Putting the music down
By tacit unacknowledgement
Without...
Faith In The Free
Gotta have more faith...

NO SURVIVORS
Dean Bowman/David Fiuczynski
You were like Heaven
Dressed in the morning
Loving you was necessary
But loves bird flew
South for the winter
And the story came unglued
Gave me the blues
Cause when I looked around
All I could see was me
My only friend to understand
And the AM clouds were lifting
Bringing light to another day
No more darkness covering up
What we need to say
Up in the glow of all our yesterdays
Divine order will
somehow find a way
No survivors no survivors
No survivors only witnesses
(Flying south for the winter)
Everybody died we all lost
Cause nobody wins
When your only friend
Staring you in the mirror
Trying to understand
And the AM clouds were lifting
Bringing light to another day
No more darkness covering up
What we need to say
Up in the glow of
All our yesterdays
Divine order will
Somehow find a way

S.U.V. S.O.B.
David Fiuczynski/additional lyrics Lian Amber
Heres the bloody truth
The Gulf wars on again
Its blood for oil
dont be fooled!
Then the shocking news
Fake patriots here dont care
And buy new cars that guzzle fuel
You could be subject to:
Global Warming
Funding Terror
Oil Dependence
But its your first car
You want it big and bad
It defines just who you really are
And you dont care its all you
Youre not a trucker
You dont need a rig to
Drive to school
We have been subject to:
Gulf War Syndrome
White House Denial
Soldiers Dying
Because its fashionable
We drive a car this size
Meanwhile the Gulf War grunt
Dies right before our eyes
We will be subject to:
Halliburton New World Order
John Ashcroft & the Patriot Act
I am a creep who drives a Jeep
And I go beep, beep, beep
Oh, what a bummer
Im in my Hummer
Im just so dumb and dumber
Im such a loser
Gross overuser
In my Suburban Cruiser
With White House approval... ©

MR. SOFTEES NIGHTMARE
David Fiuczynski
Devious little tunes to enthrall
Little kids hearts
To make you pay for ice cream
And kustard king tarts
Worse than CNN at JFK
Its an invasion of my privacy!
Ice cream tunes they drive me crazy
Those evil little tunes
My mind just goes hazy
Mr Softee is the AntiChrist!
Lets lock him in the fridge and
Put him on ice PUT HIM ON ICE!!
Why I want to kill destroy
Thats my joy!
I love to hate yes hate
HATE HATE HATE!
Bomb all Kool Mans in the land...
Watch out!
Ice cream terror is at hand... ; )
Noise pollution I have a solution...
All those silly tunes
Lets shoot em to the moon!
Too bad for little kids
And parents heart attacks
Im the grinch who stole Christmas
And I wont give it back
I wont give it back!!
Imposing music perpetrators
Suck out all my energy
Infiltrating public places with
Whackuous Top 40
Pied Piper of Ice Cream
Busts out my vibe!
I look around and everyones

FUEL FARMS
David Fiuczynski
Brothers and sisters
Till the soil
Growing energy for a cleaner world
Agrarospiritual
Earth tilling ritual
Cleans the air with bio renewables
Avoid the need for a Super Fund
It aint so super nor really super fun
We must act now
Close up that ozone hole
Unless you like the tan
That burns a hole in your soul
Harvest the Sun
Dont be the only one
Heal the planet
For generations to come
Hemp Grain Wind Sun BioEnergy
A cleaner future is our responsibility
Gulf wars cost billions and billions
And billions and billions
So many lives casualties
Collateral damage public apathy
Nuclear storage deep in the earth
Poisons Our Mothers womb
Stopping all new birth
Thats the day youll avoid the Sun
Can you imagine a better way
To have it done?? ©

ZOOM ZOROC
David Fiuczynski
Zoom Zoroc from the 5th dimension
Hes totally sentient
Flying like a bird have you heard?
Zoom Zoroc from the 23rd century
Super poet healer & sentry
Dont like the way we pollute the earth
Full moon rising in Scorpio
Creative full monty kickin ready to go
3rd Eye raging like a UFO
Hes a moon child totally wild
Straight from the depths of the Nile
Space hippies chasing the sun
Desert rock poetry painted in puns
But even Super sonic hero appeal
Has an Achilles heel
Comics A&R killing creativity
Sounds just like the music industry
They aint right with
Their Kreative Kryptonite®
Posing for Marvel to pay the rent
Super action sellout now in full effect
Comic book hero now a comic book farce
Common experience of creative art
From Atlantis to Nardis
You can be a superhero
You can be a superzero chillin like Nero
Its in the way you live your life
Look for the super hero living within
Start with your heart
Its the place to begin
Its not in the cape
Its not in the tights
Strong as a grove of fruit trees
With outstretched green hand leaves
Like the fingers in the glove of the outfield
Chasing Sun Ras baseballs of love
Falling from above falling from above
Just like peace is the sign of the dove ©

JUST FOR NOW

Bold lust crush
Aint no other love truer
Standing up tall with nothing to hide
Stroke it in the middle
And move it side to side
Shave ylove for a shiny ornament
Savor love for a new resident
Im have to hit
Miss pretty some more
Come down hard on me baby
Drive me right through the floor ©

SMILE AT ME
Dean Bowman/Gregg Jarvis
You reign when you smile at me
I
You break the rules
And change them every day
Thought by now Id know
The funny games you play
Then you smile at me
From a distance
All the folks can plainly see
They say to you let the man go
Let the man go free
You reign when you smile at me
II
You watch my every move
With a telescopic lens
Catch an earful
On your cell phone
In your Mercedes Benz
Then you smile at me
From a distance
All the folks can plainly see
They say to you let the man go
Let the man go free
You reign
When you smile at me
When you smile at me
When you smile at me
Smile at me
