Life Without Breath
Millions dead fighting arrogant inquisitor man-butchers
Yet still the sinister See washes filthy on earthly shores
And holy maggot-memes squirm in our ocean of blood
While childrens tears lubricate gullets choking on grisly flesh
And semenary thought-bombs swell in the balls of consciousness
Pregnantly yearning for that cunning lingual release
When tongues between lips squirt ideas into brains
And mushrooms magic monkeys into life without breath

Mike Zullo Wicked Clown
he tells you lies and terrible stories
dark tales of death and violence and hatred
he needs to save himself he can't let you know
he is so afraid he needs to kill you off

he destroys your life and he feels fine
he makes the games and he writes the rule book
he plays your friend behind the mask of a clown
his grinning face on a deathly tragedy

he's the wicked clown
tells you lies you can't deny
he's the wicked clown
makes you laugh then you'll cry
[repeat chorus]

he talks in riddles spins your head around
little lies truths twisted he's so wicked
you do all the thinking and the hating
you lie to people you used to care for

he knows the people you love and need
slashes them down with his cruel distortions
he works the strings of your righteousness
he weaves a web trapped in your own beliefs

Goin Down
Oh you're a good girl

Hey girl
Let's play on the wild side
What do you say? -- Yeah.

C'mon girl
Do it here by the fireside
A little horseplay

Yeah girl
Take me for a wild ride
Love around the pole

Ooh girl
Gimme love in a long slide
You're so cruel

Dust To Dust
All you want is to be a hero
Yet you cower and tremble in the night
And you're destined to reach for that halo
On this carousel of music and light

Until that terminal revolution
At the end of a lifetime of lust
And you answer the call of evolution
Earth to earth ashes to ashes dust to dust

Mark singing at Paramount Be Free
Sorry Momma I let you down
You always wanted the best for me
You gave me life all your love
I was blinded but now I see

Don’t cry Momma I’m not lost
I’m here when you remember me
You have me always in your thoughts
Just imagine and I will be

Don't cry Momma
Don't waste a day
Thank you Momma
Be free live always

We Are Love

Into The Night
I will be there In the dawning of the night
I will be there When the curtain falls
Into the night

When the author's hand is stilled the ink runs dry
All is said and done nothing but scratches
on paper

When there is no now and nothing happens
Father time is dead
all is still

Chorus:

What do you say now the seats are empty the stage forlorn
Six billion tickets litter the floor
Your children all gone no sign of life no breath or newborn
No-one to listen the drama is over
The fat lady sang her refrain
Was it all worth it?
Were you inspired?
