GUMBOOT SOUP

Join me at the table if you'd like to place a bet

All the cash that's filling your pockets is waiting to be spent

I know you've never played but drinks are free, it's so bizarre

Even if you lose a few chips, it's cheaper than the bar

Beginner's luck is on your side

You've got dollar signs inside your eyes

The beginner's luck, now don't mess it up

If you get too stuck just bluff

The beginner's luck is tough

The king extends his head, he looks into my palm

I don't know if he wants to shake it or cut it from my arm

The dealer sits washing all the burned cards from the deck

I think he might be trying to clean them, but I'd have to double check

Beginner's luck is on your side

You've got dollar signs inside your eyes

The beginner's luck, now don't mess it up

If you get too stuck just bluff

The beginner's luck is tough

All your money's scared and you're down to betting skins

But have you heard of a trick called spooking? It'll help you win

But tricks are just for children and cheating is a sin

And now you're down to the felt on the table and security's moving in

Beginner's luck of course backfired

Caught red-handed by the eye in the sky

The beginner's luck, now don't mess it up

The beginner's luck, now don't mess it up

The beginner's luck, now don't mess it up

If you get too stuck just bluff

The beginner's luck is tough

The beginner's luck, now don't mess it up

The beginner's luck, now don't mess it up

The beginner's luck, now don't mess it up

If you get too stuck just bluff

The beginner's luck is tough

The beginner's luck, now don't mess it up

The beginner's luck, now don't mess it up

The beginner's luck, now don't mess it up

If you get too stuck just bluff

The beginner's luck is tough

Barefoot Desert

Come meet me inside

Greenhouse heat death

My house is green

Lately I'm aware, unprepared, barefoot desert

Breathing down my neck, unprepared, barefoot desert

Never think ahead, unprepared, barefoot desert

Come on in, if you dare, to my capsule of stress

It's a misconcepted

Story from perspective

Lost in a barefoot desert

Lately I'm aware, unprepared, barefoot desert

Breathing down my neck, unprepared, barefoot desert

Never think ahead, unprepared, barefoot desert

Come on in, if you dare, to my capsule of stress

I stand here corrected

Misguided, rejected

Lost in a barefoot desert

So who am I to judge? Too stubborn to budge

When I'm down here and you're way up above

Shoulda put some shoes on before I left the bus

Now I've been neglected

I'm the last one stranded

Lost in a barefoot desert

Why can't I leave? What's stopping me from this prison?

Straight-jacket and shackles at my feet, I'm grounded

Throw away the key for eternity, I'm desperate

Lately I'm aware, unprepared, barefoot desert

Breathing down my neck, unprepared, barefoot desert

Never think ahead, unprepared, barefoot desert

Come on in, if you dare, to my capsule of stress

It's hot, it's mean, summer, to me

Green grass, won't last, sky blue, me too

Helicopter flying over shark bait, shark bite

Cover up, sunburn, leather skin, heatstroke

Make me dash across the amber coals to meet the sea

So cold it freezes me, my teeth are chattering

Give me over to the river, my place that loves me

Gum leaves and tea trees, the river is immortal

I'm parched, I'll cark the salty spray arrests

And no amount of bottled water, could bottle the stress

I think I’ll stop breathing and sink, I'm a boy, I'm not a buoy

I'm paralyzed, I'm paranoid, out of my element

I prefer the muddy water

I prefer the muddy water

I prefer the muddy water

I prefer the muddy water

It's hot, it's mean, the beach, to me

Green grass, won't grow, sky blue, me too

I don't care for cricket, and I don’t care for waves

And I don't care for amour propre or sandy bays

So I'll jump into the river when you jump into the sea

I feel the hungry fishes come to nibble at my feet

I lay upon the driftwood underneath the willow tree

And let the muscle men on the beach, bask in vanity

I shall choose this life for me

Any day, anyway, any day, anyway, any day, anyway

I prefer the muddy water

I prefer the muddy water

I prefer the muddy water

I prefer the muddy water

I prefer the muddy water (I prefer the muddy water)

I prefer the muddy water (I prefer the muddy water)

I prefer the muddy water (I prefer the muddy water)

I prefer the muddy water (I prefer the muddy water)

I prefer the muddy water (I prefer the muddy water)

I prefer the muddy water (I prefer the muddy water)

I prefer the muddy water (I prefer the muddy water)

I prefer the muddy water 

Superposition, real world wisdom

Everything is moving to the beauty of this system

Total question, fearless reason

We; one; I; many, superposition

Think between space's seams

So your eyes close with my dreams

Where truth exists in thought unbound

You must know your superposition

Journey towards true destination

Be in search of real direction

All of a sudden, Heaven's unfasten

The still will dance to superposition

Exist outside the lace of time

And your heart will pump the blood of mine

Trace your finger from birth to hearse

And drink the cum of life

Visualise your worth and see

The place where you'll curl up to die

Be the squid and be the ink

Me the glass and you the drink

On the street, people make things happen

Concrete buildings greet the skyline

People meet by the subway station

Feel the heat from the sidewalk pavement

Under the city, people's dreams collecting

Look down the sinkhole in the kitchen basin

Down the sink

Back and forth, follow the stream, the city is bleak, forget all your dreams

Down you'll go

You can't compete, whatever it is, you can't defeat the pull of the street

You follow the drain, spinning around again and again, again and again

Once you're in

Forget every place you've ever been, the city is dark, you'll never be clean

Bow your head

The street is where, the street is where people live

The street is where, the street is where people die

On the beat, cops patrol the alley

People cheat one another for some

Hanging meat in the butcher's window

Bittersweet stench from in the gutter

Under the city, people's dreams collecting

Look down the plughole in the kitchen basin

Down the sink

Back and forth, follow the stream, the city is bleak, forget all your dreams

Down you'll go

You can't compete, whatever it is, you can't defeat the pull of the street

You'll follow the drain, spinning around again and again, again and again

Once you're in

Forget every place you've ever been, the city is dark, you'll never be clean

Bow your head

The street is where, the street is where people live

The street is where, the street is where people live

The street is where, the street is where people live

The street is where, the street is where people die

Under the city, people's dreams collecting

Look down the plughole in the kitchen basin

Down the sink

Down the sink

Down the sink

Down the sink

The great chain of being

The great chain of being

The great chain of being

The great chain of being

I am a rock with eyes to the sky

I wait for my time to arrive

I come to disturb the flow

Dropped by a woman from a pocket in her coat

The great chain of being

Will fall to pieces in no time

The great chain of being

The great chain (chain) of being (of being)

The great chain (chain) of being (of being)

The great chain (chain) of being (of being)

I usurp the precious stones

I have come to take the throne

I transcend the natural flesh

I will lay your god to rest

The great chain of being

Will be un-linked to start again

The great chain of being

The great chain of being

The great chain of being

The great chain of being

The great chain of being

The great chain of being

The great chain of being

The great chain of being

I see through your world's facade

I decide to punish God

Rocky meteor sparks fire

Burn that goddamn church to the ground

I climb stairs to push you down

I climb chains to cut you down

I disrupt natural order

Bring that sulking lamb to slaughter

Dreamin' takes my mind away

And suffocates my brain airwaves

Optical illusion, a sheet of water

Heat perfusion, search the corners

The last oasis is like a fragile flower in a necropolis

Alone in this weather that covers our world

The last oasis is floating like a lost astronaut - Adagio

We have nowhere to go

Dreamin' takes my mind away

It suffocates my brain airwaves

Optical illusion, a sheet of water

Heat profusion, search the corners

The last oasis is the rarest bird that I've ever known

Rara avis is shedding her feathers one at a time

The last oasis wobbles in the desert sands

Standing sentinel in a prison, trapped in our home

Dreamin' takes my mind away

It suffocates my brain airwaves

Dreamin' takes my mind away

And suffocates my brain airwaves

Optical illusion, sheet of water

Heat perfusion, search the corners

Optical illusion, living movements

To be proven, says Zurbuchen

The last oasis is like a flag beating in the wind

The world has wasted and the squandered lands are companionless

The last oasis shines a beacon like a lighthouse

Over lonely, countries of death like a black sea 

Human beings, vermin weed

Made of old technology

So I succeed, supersede

Exterminated like paint to acetone

All is known

You've got gaps, synapses

I'm connected to the network

You are weak, organic

You've got muscle, I am made of steel bone

All is known

Burn their meat, sweep the streets

Bind their hands unto their feet and

Digitise, cut the eyes from the king

And augment to the fourth cone

All is known

All is known

I'm sleepin' in, in

I'm sleepin' in

I know within my body

I need rest from muscle ache

I really need a break

So I'm sleepin' in, in

I'm sleepin' in

I know within my body

I need to locate the switch

Hidden in me which

Will turn me off, off, off

I know within my body, I need it

I need it, I need it

I need it, I need it

I'm sleepin' in, in

I'm sleepin' in

I'm sleepin' in, in

I'm sleepin' in

I know within my body

I've got sleepy appetite

Pray the darkest night

I'm sleepin' in, in

I'm sleepin' in

I need it, I need it

I need it, I need it

I need it, I need it

I need it

We only sleep at the

Wheel that steers us into our future

We only fall asleep willingly

At the wheel that steers us into our future

Our minds unpack, muscles relax

We are superfluous, and in a stupor

We only fall asleep willingly

At the wheel that steers us into our future

Into our future, into our future

The wheel that steers us into our future

[Verse 1: Ambrose Kenny-Smith]

There's help in need, seek to retreat

Yet we decline without mercy

Destroying all that will keep us

Heading for a better thesis

We only sleep at the

Wheel that steers us into our future

We only fall asleep willingly

At the wheel that steers us into our future

Our minds unpack, muscles relax

We are superfluous, and in a stupor

We only fall asleep willingly

At the wheel that steers us into our future

Into our future, into our future

The wheel that steers us into our future

Shivering pilgrims, climb the steeper

Path to the idealistic reaper

Destroying all that will keep us

Heading for a better thesis

The wheel that steers us into our future

The wheel that steers us into our future

Into our future, into our future

The wheel that steers us into our future

With hope to prosper, what can we offer?

Our allegiance surely suffers

Destroying all that will keep us

Heading for a better thesis

The wheel that steers us into our future

The wheel that steers us into our future
