"2 0 1 2" COMPLETE *ALBUM* LYRICS Michael Shelley ~ The Mothers of Music **************************************************** 1990 Too 2012 michael shelley 2012 The Wall is down that wall is down But the Writing still stands, Stands Tall Sometimes things seem folksy Sometimes I can make it dark Sometimes things seem witchy Sometimes I can make you bark I know it writes down heavy I know I lay it down, I really lay it down Hear that sound, what’s that sound? (And) Maybe Mayhem will Sow the Genes that are Torn. (And) It’s 1990 Too (And) It’s 1990 Too Everybody on the move, stand still, stand still So I can touch you (And) don’t it feel better No telling (of this) passing moment When it’s down to the letter (And) It’s 1990 Too It was 1990 Too The World’s still round, still spinning ‘round But the Living still stand, Stands Tall Sometimes things seem funny Then I bring the wind Sometimes things seem magic Then I make it rend Gold weighs down heavy It really gets laid down It really don’t go down easy And Knowing you’re Sorry makes it Happen All Over Again a Thousand Times Over.

Chorus: Out of the Now The streets are silent Never made of gold The room is empty (And) The air is cold Gotta give up nothing What else is there to do Buildings falling down And there’s only me and you Nothing more to say Nothing to beg steal or borrow Give it all away Uncomplicate(d) Tomorrow. Chorus: Out of the Now The moon out of sight Pull down the sheets Pull down the shades of night And lighting every star Yeah once dreams were once like diamonds Gone to dust with all the wagon wheels In the stones of your mind Unwinding all the ‘reals’ Lifting the veil Out of the now The way is narrow Uncomplicate(d) Tomorrow. Chorus: Out of the Now Refrain :: _____________________________________ Sweet Truth michael shelley 2012 Somewhere in all those candle lights, where time has not a place to go (don’t you know) It’s after the end of the world, don’t you know that yet. Twisted history it’s got nothing to say The ends of remains of the end of days. It’s not what you say, It’s how much it means The thrill of agony and the victory of defeat In the home of the land and free of the brave. All our Names are One Name ~ Along the Unmarked Warps of Time Across the Sea of Change ~ the Silent Singer sings Sweet Truth ~ Sweet Lies Think you’re some kind of an enigma Who are you to decide the truth(s) of our fate What hurts most is that we fear each other I sleep on a wall of stone. And you can tell in all the night fires the greatest battles, are in the invisible Peel back the gold wrapper and behold the beast The distance of all the between, the what does it mean The points opposites have in common. Sweet Truth ~ Sweet Lies It is you man, the word is you, man Not the man in the moon, man Or the moon in the man, man the normal mind is the source of dis ~ ease I still sleep on a wall of stone The only warmth are the shadows What a tangled web (it is) we weave Where hell ends and heaven begins The truth will set you free. All our Names are One Name ~ Along the unmarked Warps of Time Across the Sea of Change ~ the Silent Singer sings It is you man, the word is you, man Not the man in the moon, man Or the moon in the man, man Sweet Truth ~ Sweet Lies ~ (the silent singer Sings) It is you man, the word is you, man Not the man in the moon, man Or the moon in the man, man _____________________________________ Red Lips of Wine michael shelley 2012 Watching you move I love to watch you move You send those tingles down my spine Red Lips touching Mine You’re my soul you’re my desire In the morning light In this endless night You would take my soul You would make me whole Red Lips of Wine (I’d) I’ll give you Mine I love to watch you move You send those tingles up my spine I love to watch you move Red Lips of Wine Please touch Mine Love to watch you move Love to watch you move Those Red Lips of Wine I give you mine Oh I’d give my life for Oh I’d give my life for … Love to watch you move I Love to watch you move Send those shivers up and down my spine I love to watch you move I could look at your face forever I could die in your arms _____________________________________ Zero Hero michael shelley 2012 Out here in the sluburbs The atmostale dis-impale We had nano dimout Stayed inside by candles. Came in out of the the twi-night Watched a story about The orphan virus And masscults on eurovision And in the middle of the afternoon The looniforms I.F.F. Identification friend or foe. Then they smear your temples With mummy grease Turn on the monkey node tweezers And the brains fly all around, and the brains fly all around. Don’t be a zero hero Say Something Do Something Don’t be a zero hero Think Something Be Something Don’t be a zero hero See Something Feel Something Don’t be a zero hero Make Something Dream Something Don’t be a zero hero Say Something … Something. Say something that matters to me. Can it be put into words? It’s Everything, It’s Nothing, It’s Death The mechanical death Of human beings A black hole, Zero. _____________________________________ The Flipside michael shelley 2012 It’s as in say the state of California Maybe it’s slipping off in to the water Well – maybe the water is coming up to meet it. It’s like the flip It’s like the flipside It’s like the flipside Or in say the state of being positive The balance point is just the other way Or in the state of being negative The balance point is just the other way. It’s on the flip It’s on the flipside It’s on the flipside We are all out there We are the visitors The Yeti The SETI We are all out there. On the flipside On the flipside We’re on the flipside We’re on the flipside We’re on the flipside On the flipside. _____________________________________ The Undertow michael shelley 2012 Open up your Eyes to Life There’s something You should Know Of Those who hide The Grail And how They sank So Low I’ve been staying up Late at Night I won’t let go. Maybe it’s the Light That makes Things grow Or maybe the Falling Leaves Or the Stars that rise So Low There’ll be a Change in the Tide Beware of The Undertow I’ve been staying up Late at Night Waiting for Them to show. Maybe it’s the Light That keeps me Pale Or maybe it’s the Dark Secrets of Their Tale I’ve been staying up Late at Night I won’t let go There’ll be a Change in the Tide I’ll be part of The Undertow. Burning So Many Different Worlds Burning Maybe it’s the Light That keeps me Pale Or maybe it’s the Dark Secrets of Their Tale There’ll be a Change in the Tide I’ll be part of The Undertow I’ve been staying up Late at Night. Open up your Heart to Life I think that You should Know I wonder Who keeps The Grail And why They sank So Low I’ve been staying up Late at Night I won’t let go Maybe it’s the Light That makes All Things grow Maybe it’s the Falling Leaves Or the Stars that rise So Low There’ll be a Change in the Tide Beware The Undertow. Beware The Undertow. _____________________________________ The End Trance michael shelley 2012 I move in Shadows secret I sway the Moon at Night I pray for the Powers to keep You I keep the Truth in tight I rise in Stillness quiet I hold the Secret at Night I reach into Every corner There’s Nothing left to Chance When you look inside deep deeper When you look inside deeper deeper still In the end trance In the end trance In the End Trance In the End Trance Your World leaves you where You kept It Right at the End of your nose Don’t you know where They took It I know where Everything goes What’s this stuff Dreams are made of When you’ve gone the Way of the Wind Standing in the Shadows of Love You know the swamis and the Shakes When you look inside deep deeper When you look inside deeper deeper still In the end trance In the end trance In the End Trance In the End Trance In the End Trance In the End Trance We’ll meet again we’ll meet in the end trance. _____________________________________ **************************************************** Hopefully every One feels that they finally get back home, at one time or another, Everyone has this Longing for so long that it seemingly becomes An Involuntary Piece of Our Consciousness.
