77 verses

1

Don’t know how to live in this crazy world

Where nothing is what it seems

All my dreams of youth fading away 

Like abandoned cities

2

No longer even know

What’s really missing

Programmed to want more

But might need nothing

3

Feel so empty, but the kind of empty 

That just might be everything

Reach out to people I trust 

All I get back is a moment of love

For lovers of moments

4

Sit at home alone

Thoughts crash into each other

Selling insurance for future versions 

Of selves I never became

5

One day I’ll be dead by the next morning 

And you will only know me

From the everlasting light

Or that which gives it 

The divine beauty

To help you navigate

When you fall from grace

And rise again

               

6

Open your eyes in the morning light

Been a long night as your dreamworlds died

And you came alive to this paradise

Where you wondered why until it was time

To dive back into the oceanic bliss

7

Bliss kisssed in Atlantis this is for the romantics

Who get pissed, send dick pics

To their big tit licked lip lovers

Play covers to drunk brits 

Who just wanna hear the hits

But you’re so sick of this shit 

So you say what about this?

8

And suddenly the bucket is full 

You feel the emptiness of a million deer in headlights

Staring at you, pleading with eyes like ice

Like horny teen girls in church 

On their knees for you 

9

Now you roll, dip and dive like a newborn lullaby

Butterfly summer sky in a winter moon 

You cum too soon but she gets you hard again 

Quicker than the gunslingers of the wild west 

Wall street, high noon, snake charmed 

False alarmed, skull fucked

Wait, here comes the good part 

10

You know I rock hard 

Especially when the rock gods gather 

In backyards with all my communist friends

With their capitalist backbends 

Doing zazen with breatharian wowmen 

As if they own the place

As if they can just go back to sleep

As if nothing ever happened

When the clock strikes eleven eleven

11

Open your eyes in the morning light

Been a long night as your dreamworlds died

And you came alive to this paradise

Where you wondered why until it was time

12

Ever since I can remember

I needed music to stay alive

When I began to write my own songs

I knew that everything would be alright

13

Been spending most my life

Living in a drifter’s paradise

14

When I feel like I don’t belong 

Anywhere on earth but happily lost

Get lost in the music, get lost in the songs

You look at everything and it’s just so sad

So sad that nothing lasts

Here and now, so beautiful but so bittersweet

This happiness hurts like hell

15

Been spending most our lives

Living in the drifter’s paradise

16

We artists and mystics are a strange bunch

One moment it’s smooth sailing, then it’s crispy crunch

Hit the rocks, shipwreck, castaway, sensitive

Difficult wild crazy lonely romantic

Looking for our Wilson

17

Nothing better than living life on unwind

Nothing better than living life on unwind

Nothing better than living life on unwind

Nothing better than living life on unwind

18

Living in the drifter’s paradise

Living in the drifter’s paradise

19

Lost track of the time making music all night

Writing this new song called drifter’s paradise

Completely forgot to eat now it’s getting late

And time for bed but I’m hungry as fuck

But happy to be living in the drifter’s paradise

I need a good woman to take care of me   

So I can work on my songs all day without a care in the world

The only thing I really care about

Is sharing my songs with you

20

Remind you it’s okay if sometimes you feel sad

Together we can celebrate

In the drifter’s paradise

Tomorrows gonna be another beautiful day

21

Living in the drifter’s paradise

Living in the drifter’s paradise

22

Wanna feel it all

Feel it in my songs

Feeling the love

I’m just skin and bones

Did what I was told

But never fit the mold

So I started writing songs

Oh Lord help me now

23

Full of fear and doubt

Don’t give up on me now

Just don’t put me in a crowd or in the ground

Wanna sing and bring sweet glory and grace

Like maps in a maze

See flags in your eyes

Hear anthems in my mind

Hypnotized

24

Nobody wants to kill but they all do 

And so the wars go on

Until we see that

The only enemy there ever was 

Is the one hiding in our hearts

25

Keep blaming and explaining

Pseudo-scientific memories

Of people we used to be

In the name of profit and tears

Forgiveness is always near

Meet me in the middle, lets work it out

I am your enemy with weapons down

26

Together we can save the world

Dance and sing in the church of mother Earth

27

It’s okay my love, to need someone

That someone might be ready for love

For someone to love, to be loved

How can we ever know anyone?

If we keep turning our backs

If we keep closing down

When the white doves glide

Like children playing in the sunshine

28

It’s perfectly fine my friend

To mourn alone

Nobody has to know

How you feel so old

But it ain’t so bad to carry this torch

For our unborn daughters and sons

Who will one day also mourn for us

29

I appear and I disappear

As a saint, as a fake

Can’t seem to find any space

Where I can enter the gates

30

Gates of heaven and then I feel hate

Towards the servants of love

Dancing in the woods 

Like psychotic leprechauns

31

All these fucking lies

Are breaking my heart

And it hurts so much 

Knowing that nobody 

Really gives a fuck

32

All the people who used to believe in me

Who saw stars in my eyes and dollar signs

Now see me as some kind of 

Fallen king that never was 

Because he was too lost 

Dancing with those leprechauns

33

So I no longer appear

The saint is just a fake memory

Out in the desert where the wild winds howl

I wanna go look for him

And find the gate

34

Take that final leap into the unknown

Because I wanna know if heaven is real

Or just another scam    

35

It’s obvious to me 

How we look for release 

From the darkness in dreams

36

We get so caught up in creeds

Feel so tired that we need

Something higher to believe

Or some authority to lead

The only authority for me is truth         

Obviously

37

It’s obvious to me 

Although we take years to see 

How we pray to our priests

Our chosen gods they set us free

38

We cry for love like wounded beasts 

Alone in mansions laughing

Wondering where it all went wrong     

39

Only way is to give it all away

The more you have the more you have to give

Give everything but never give up

Obviously

40

It’s obvious to me 

But we keep making enemies 

Out of the very things 

That would give us the keys

41

Our whole lives been searching for something

Or someone to give us sweet release 

But let me tell you now, just please listen 

All you ever dreamed of having 

Is already yours, always been

Obviously 

42

Satan is my friend, a friend in need

So say hello to satan, get on your knees

43

We all gotta let loose sometimes

But I don’t know why

And I don’t really care

I’m just another snowflake teddy bear 

With my snowflake hair

And my superman underwear

44

Satan is my friend, he loves to drink with me

We blow smoke rings on a lonely street

45

Brings me back to life with a fire inside 

Memories of the superstars we used to be

Or could’ve been don’t know

Can’t remember anymore or won’t

46

Satan is my friend and that’s better than nothing

Yeah satan calling my name

Don’t wanna remember anything

So let’s just drink to our glorious suffering

47

That’s awesome buddy, satan my bud

Like a russian doll romance with overdubs

Natasha and Vladislav in love but what is love?

Nobody knows just baby don’t hurt me no more

48

Satan my good friend said Jesus died for my sins

Oh man if he ever did, that’s a whole lotta dying

That bastard nailed to a cross so I can get drunk 

And sing these victory songs

Pressure creates diamonds!

Yeehaa! yeehaa!

49

Thumbs twiddling away

Singing yeehaa, singing yeehaa

In the big boom boom!

Screw you. satan screw you

50

Thought you had my back but all you did was stab

Kinda liked it god damn

Taught me how to go mad in the lonely hour 

Where the down n outs drown

Where the black dogs howl

51

Call your lover drunk

Tuesday 2am, find a bar

And honestly I forget

What happened next

Yeah c’mon, c’mon

52

Have a million people in my head

Artist, poet, musician, mystic and other ones 

Just wanna drink all night, be happy

Singin’ yeehaa, dance the haha 

With my broken hearted bradas

53

Satan is my friend, I’m just a battered old dog 

With war and love in his eyes

And a mean ol’ mama on his mind

54

Now writing a song about this struggle

What else can a man do?

But turn his struggle into some kind of

Divine demented art 

Soul food for the rich fools

55

Struggle for the sake of struggle

Just so I can drink with my friends

But since I don’t have so many friends

Satan is my friend

56

All my friends are best buds with satan

Satan is my friend

Too bad this song has to end

Satan is my friend

Now this song has to end

Satan you my friend

Oh yeah yeah yeah 

Satan is my friend

57

I have a love hate relationship with the sun

Until I become someone

58

After my first high school philosophy class

I wanted to know who I was, what I am

But the more I know the less I understand

And since then I never really had a plan

59

Because faith speaks louder than bombs

So I sing it from rooftops

But all the people on the streets below

Running around like ants

Can’t hear anything because these frequencies

Don’t resonate with their soul vibes

60

Gave up a long time ago

Fucked off into the forest

Madman mountain king

I sing now to the creatures of the night

And we dance in the morning mist

Have open relationships with everyone

61

Love and hate in the sun

Love and hate in the sun

62

I have a love hate relationship with the sun

I have a love hate relationship with the sun

I have a love hate relationship with the sun

I have a love hate relationship with the sun

63

I have a love hate relationship with the sun

Until I become someone

64

We are the lost children 

Of the sun god warriors of light

Our bodies and minds not designed 

For the city life

Kids in the underworlds

We need to feel the sun and sky

65

The trees, rains and thunderstorms

Humans have built this modern habitat

As a way to keep nature at a distance

With our air con and movie stars

We mapped it all out 

So we would never get lost again

But we did anyway

Yeah we did anyway

66

Sometimes there is a war when the overlords 

Need to flex their might

We drink, fuck, then shop

On amazon all night 

Just to feel alright

Humans being humans, making millions

Living the nine to five but working over time

Until we see neon signs flashing 

Now its time to die

67

There will always be men like me 

Who refuse to follow the paths of the common man

We drink from many rivers of doubt

Dabble in the dark arts to study the light

Knowing that eventually we will all go back 

To wherever it is that we came from

Sometimes late at night 

I can already hear them 

Calling for me

Sometimes I hear them 

Calling for me

68

Can’t force the world to be

What you want it to be

Can only open your eyes and see

Truth staring back at me

69

Inner eyes, outer eyes

Mind heart of the heart mind

Takes a million years

To fight these fears

70

You feel so lost and alone

As you reclaim your golden light throne

Some kind of cosmic vagabond

Wandering the world naked and free

71

The great saints speak of love

As the guiding principle

Separates the men from the boys

Saints from sinners, losers from winners

Signal from the noise

72

All I got is some parlour tricks

Although sometimes it’s hit and miss

Learned ‘em early but learned ‘em well

Kept my place in this carnival hell 

73

Until I was taken in 

And shown a new way

A new way to live

A new sea to swim in

74

Fell down on my knees

Oh Lord help me please

Looked up at the sky

Rains fell down hard so I cried

75

Last night of the earth poems

First light leadeth me home

Big dog with the big bone blues

Oh mama tell me those sweet lies 

But not too soon 

76

Now I sing to you my songs

Wasn’t sure I’d even make it this far

If you saw me at my worst

You might think that bastard’s cursed

Give you all I can

Just looking for a friend

To listen to my soul

It’s why I write these song poems

My source codes

77

Nothing much left here to see

Got no more tricks up my sleeve

Just got this poetry

Not sure it means anything

You find a love so true

Makes the sun shine

To soothe those whale wounds

To soothe my whale wounds
