AND THE WORLD WILL WASH AWAY

batg — Wed, 16 Nov 2022 20:32:19 +0000

THE EMPIRES THAT HAVE FALLEN, THE DREAMS THAT LEFT, AWAKENED
THE PROMISES, FORESAKEN, THE SCENES OF GOLDEN FIELDS —

FROM THE BREATH OF INNOCENTS, TO KNAVES WITH POLISHED STEEL
WAITING AT THE BANISTER, A NEW BEAST TO BE REVEALED

BUT, WHO WAS THERE, UNSPOKEN
PERHAPS, BLOODED, BEAT, AND BROKEN
WHEN BABYLON WAS BENDING
OR THE RUBBLE OF THE ROMANS

SO, IT GOES THE STRUGGLE, ASWIRL THERE IN THE ASHES
BLADES WITHIN THE GRASSES;
COME NEW WAVES TO COMMAND THE BEACH, AND —–

WASH THE WORLD AWAY
AND WASH THE WORLD AWAY;
AND THE
WORLD
WILL
WASH
AWAY

Come the nightfall, AT YOUR WINDOW

batg — Wed, 16 Nov 2022 20:31:43 +0000

COME THE NIGHTFALL, COME THE DARKNESS
STARS UNITE, IN ASTRAL PRAYER
AT YOUR WINDOW, HEAR THE WIND BLOW
A WINKING STAR FALLS, DARLING, BLESSED DEAR

COME THE NIGHTFALL, COME THE DARKNESS
WHEN THE WIND ROLLS, SOFTLY UP THE STAIRS
COME THE NIGHTFALL, AT YOUR WINDOW
SO THIS STAR KNOWS, DARLING, RAVEN’D HAIR

COME THE NIGHTFALL, AT YOUR WINDOW
WHEN THIS STARS FALLS, TO YOU, DARLING RAVEN HAIR

COME THE DARKNESS, WHEN THE WIND BLOWS
THIS WINKING STAR KNOWS, FOR YOU, RAVEN HAIR

COME THE NIGHTFALL, AT YOUR WINDOW
WHEN THE WIND BLOWS, FOR YOU DARLING, RAVEN HAIR

NEW AMERICAN OOMPA

batg — Wed, 16 Nov 2022 20:29:06 +0000

WELL, CANDY RED AND JELLY BEAN, ARE SLOPPING CREAM AT THE DAIRY QUEEN. MR FRED, ALL SHIRTS ARE SHEEN, HE WORKS DOWN AT THE QUICK ‘N CLEAN. GREASY FRIES AT THE WHITE CASTLE, NEVER MISSES THE DAILY RAFFLE. SORTIN’ BOTTLES AND DRIVIN’ SNAPPLE, I’M HEADIN’ OFF TO THE BIG APPLE
BOOK ME IN, HOTEL RITZ, MASTER CARD, WILL COVER IT. PILLS AND BUD, BUTTERED GRITS, ONLY RUNNIN’ ON DOCTORS’ SCRIPTS
WELL, CRACKER JACK AND BILLY BLADE, BE MOWIN’ GRASS ON THE PROMENADE
GOLDEN TIPS CAP FLAGS OF SATIN, JUST TO SHOW WHAT THEY WON’T BE HAVIN’
RICHIE’S GOLDEN PARK PLACE CRAPPER, DAVID’S MOLDIN’ DUMPSTER WRAPPER
DUMPSTER DAVE COULD BE A HIGH PRICE STAFFER, BUT HE DON’T COMPREHEND THE CURVE BY LAFFER
AS A ZOMBIE HAZE FLOATS ABOUT THE RAFTERS, COMES THE GHOSTLY FORM OF THE HOODED GRAFTER, TO THE SIREN SONG, AND THE JOKER’S LAUGHTER, I WONDER THE END COME NOW OR AFTER
HOOK ME UP, ALL VEINS ARE LAID, JUST ONE NIGHT, NO MEDICAID. FILL ME UP, VAMPIRE GRADE, VODKA, JACK AND RAZOR BLADES
THE PREACHER CLAIMS THAT JESUS SAVES, KING OF HEARTS SEZ BEWARE THE SPADE
SMELL DON’T LIE BARKS DUMPSTER DAVE, AS THE BLIND MAN BENDS DOWN IN HIS CAVE
SOME FIND PEACE IN A TWO PACK HABIT OR OTHER FORMS OF NARCOTIC BANDAGE
I PUT MY FAITH IN A COUNTRY RABBIT WHO SAID A OUNCE OF GOLD BE WORTH A HEAD OF CABBAGE

BEST STOCK UP ON GUNS AND GAS. BUT KEEP YOUR DOLLARS TO WIPE YOUR ASS
ALL LINE UP STRIKE UP THE BRASS AND BONES WILL CRACK IN THE SIREN’S GRASP

IF I HAD A MAGIC BOAT

batg — Wed, 16 Nov 2022 20:28:36 +0000

IF I HAD A MAGIC BOAT I’D JUMP RIGHT IN, AND AWAY I’D FLOAT IN A TECHNI-COLORED CAPTAIN’S COAT ACROSS BLESSED SPARKLING WATERS DRIFT AWAY, TO THE LAND OF BLACK, VOLCANIC POWDERED SAND THE SKY ALIGHT WITH ASTRAL BANDS IN A PEACEFUL, MIDNIGHT SLUMBER
IF I HAD A MAGIC BOAT I’D FLY AWAY, UP TO THE STARS, ‘ROUND VENUS, SATURN, EVEN MARS FREE FROM HUMAN BORDERS
BOUNCING ON THE COSMIC TIDES AN INTERSTELLAR MAGIC RIDE
WHERE ALL TIME AND SPACE COLLIDE
ALONG OTHER PLAINS OF ORDER
IF I HAD A MAGIC BOAT I’D JUMP RIGHT IN, AND AWAY I’D FLOAT
FROM TEAMING CITIES, OVERGROWN INFLAMED WITH MAD DISORDER
IN MY FLYING MAGIC BOAT TO A STAR, I’D HANG A ROPE
TETHERED TO MY MAGIC BOAT SAFE THERE IN THE HARBOR

AS THE SUN RISES ON THE FIRE SIDE

batg — Wed, 16 Nov 2022 15:53:36 +0000

AS THE SUN RISES ON THE FIRE SIDE, WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN?

MOUNTAINS AS WIDE, AS A BIRD CAN FLY, BRUSHED YELLOW, BLUE, AND GREEN
GREAT WHALES AND FISH, THAT PROUDLY GLIDE
AMONG THE CREATURES, THAT SWIM IN THE SEA
DOLPHINS IN TOW, WITH BIRDS A FLIGHT
CLEAR, BRIGHT AND CLEAN

AS THE GREAT WINDS CLENSE, ACROSS THE SEASIDE, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

WHERE THE WHITE CLIFFS RISE LIKE STEEPLES
AND THE LAND BENDS DOWN TO THE SEA
WHERE THE MOUNTAINS AS WIDE AS A BIRD CAN FLY
BRUSHED YELLOW, BLUE AND GREEN
GREAT HERDS AGLOW, WITH PRIDES ASTRIDE
MAJESTIC FIELDS OF GREEN
WHERE THE WAVES REACH UP TO HUG THE LAND
AND THE LAND BENDS DOWN TO THE SEA

THE KING WAS UNDECIDED, BUT, HE SEEMED SO SINCERE

batg — Wed, 16 Nov 2022 15:31:22 +0000

THE KING WAS UNDECIDED
BUT, HE, SEEMED SO SINCERE

THE JESTER WAS DELIGHTED
AS IT WHISPERED IN HIS EAR

THE FOULEST ARE BENIGHTED
THE RUMBLE COMING NEAR

THE CIRCUS NOW DEPARTED
YA BETTER COME AROUND NEXT YEAR

THE JESTER REMAINS
AWAKE IN YOUR FEARS
