Lyrics

Starfish

In his Kingdom of stone and sand, the starfish rules his sacred land.
Odilara Codare we cried his name.

In a time many years ago, true believers lived below.
Where the people of the starfish have gone - we'll never know.

Of the scrolls that we have read, we only know what they have said,
About the thoughts swim rampant in our head.

No poems for the moon or sun, can tell us what they might have done,
The starfish was all that ever mattered !

A treasure chest all broken up and sctattered... and while we swim we sing this hymn
and bubbles filed with echos float away.

Mr. 90

Mr. 90 drank his favorite pint; he never lost the vision of his dream His brand-name mind worked better than the leading kind He wore it like a shiny crown, it never let him down... not in this town.

The armchair pioneer, he leaps into a new career His eyes are fixed on the number as he dials He tells his boss he's gone to make a lusher, greener lawn And his feet go shufflin' on along the tiles... for miles

Mr. 90 gave his word that he would never go back again Back to the life that led his friends astray And if he finds what he's looking for, he'll be out that Winnebago door By sunset

Hiding at the races left no prosecuting traces For his neighbors' ugly faces to collect But his t-shirts weren't so dirty, way back when he was thirty Though everything seems gold in retrospect He dreams away his sordid past of Genesee and Everlast And in the morning finding pool cues in the trash You'll find the bottle of Minoxidil up by the daisies on the window sill When you find it, grind it into your soul Joe.

Mr. 90 finally saw the light. He always knew the future shone like chrome. If you've seen who makes the grass grow green, you can assume you've been to Mr. 90's home

Mr. 90 gave his word that he would never go back again Back to the life that led his friends astray And if he finds what he's looking for, he'll be out that Winnebago door By sunset

We don't care The sand is hot but we don't care. We don't care.

Venus Cabaret

As the walls fade into blue, a destination waits for you... beyond If the view becomes more clear, then a wizard should appear... and wave his magic wand Welcome to the Cabaret, follow me around this way... if you please Some call this place paradise; many folks have been here twice... or more

Don't you like the view of the sun? It's bigger up here, I know If that's where you want to go I'll take you there after the show And you can rest assured... it's still the only one.

Put your feet up, get some rest. The music here is just the best... around We offer you the finest kind, just the thing to put your mind... at ease All these people that you see, camouflaged in ecstasy... free If you wonder how they came, the pathways here are all the same... believe me

Don't you like the view of the sun? It's bigger up here, I know If that's where you want to go I'll take you there after the show And you can rest assured... it's still the only one.

How do I get to the Venus Cabaret? What do I have to do to get there? How do I get to the Venus Cabaret?

Now it's time for you to learn, all who come must soon return ...again Questions running very deep will surround you in your sleep ...tonight Image fades the sound is gone, time is moving swiftly on ...without you The walls fade out of blue again. Did it really happen then? I don't know

Don't you like the view of the sun? It's bigger up here, I know If that's where you want to go I'll take you there after the show And you can rest assured... it's still the only one.
