| CAVING IN (marshall with kane
2002) Now
falling through the cracks
The space that
time neglects
Seeping through
the underground
An ever thinning
path
Entrance to
a timeless void
The caverns
formed below
A creeping journey
in the dark
Where ageless
creatures grow
In the cave
I'm caving in
There's rarely
any sound
In the cave
I'm caving in
Darkness all
around
In the cave
I'm caving in
I'm creeping
towards the floor
In the cave
I'm caving in
Suspended here
for ever more
Sunlight hasn't
touched this place in
Tens of thousands
of years
Darkness hides
the shapes that form
As endless trop
lets fall like tears
Tucked away
below the surface
Timeless space
abounds
Change occurs
at various rates
A never ending
now
In the cave
I'm caving in
There's rarely
any sound
In the cave
I'm caving in
Darkness all
around
In the cave
I'm caving in
I'm creeping
towards the floor
In the cave
I'm caving in
Suspended here
for ever more
In the cave
I'm caving in
A place that
time forgot
In the cave
I'm caving in
A never ending
now |

| RIVULETS (kane '80's)
There was a
time
The slathered
phallus
Buried deep
In furrowed
palace
Playing rough
But not with
malice
Love enough
To fill a challis
Deep within
the sacred grotto
Singing songs
of ancient blotto
Limp love pools
from heated climax
The plane awaits
upon the tarmac

DUPLICITOUS VORTEX: |
| DOWN BELOW (kane 1985 ?)
Down Below
Where Secrets Stow
My Mind Turns
Like A Disc
Gears Are Grinding,
Tape Unwinding
Preparing For
The Risk
Time Has Come,
The Season's Done
The Leaves That
Fell Are Dead
The Ropes That
Bind Me, Are Behind Me
The Noose Is
Off My Head
I Stood And
Stared And Gawked Aghast
As I Was Ripped
From My Dead Past
Its True They
Say The Past Is Dead
But It Will
Never Leave Your Head
No Matter Where
You'll Ever Go
The Things You've
Done Are Yours To Know |
| VACUUM HEAD (kane 1987?)
The Music Drips
Down
Through A Crack
In The Street
Bathing All
Those Who Travel
In Subterranean
Byways
Forming Stagnant
Pools
Of Myriad Fools
Neither Realistic,
Nor Animalistic
Valves Held
Open
To The Flow
I'm A Vacuum
Head
Suction And
Cold
Our Lives Are
Like Patchwork Quilts
Beach Houses
Built On Wooden Stilts
Turntables Made
With Rubber bands
Clocks Telling
Time Without Any Hands
Newspapers Without
Any Words
Just Pictures
Of Guns And Birds
Space Shuttles
And Cherry Coke
The Whole Thing's
Just A Really Bad Joke
Can You Tell
That The Letters
Can't Fall Off
Of The Page
But Often Appear
To Do Just That
Interruption
Of Mind My Brain Is Cheese
A Toasted Bagel
With A Schmear
Nugget Mania
Makes Me Insania |

| SMOKING CAR (kane '80's)
The Naked Lunch
Upon My Plate
Makes Me Think
Of What I've Ate
When Times Were
Tough
And Things Got
Blue
I Had Oatmeal
And Pebble Stew
The Water From
My Kitchen Tap
Was Brown And
Cloudy Filled With Sap
Furtive Glances
Pierce The Death
Dark Doorways
Seeking Out
Figures In Gloomy Night
Pinpoint Eyes
As Red As Rats
Blood
The Clothes
I Wore, Upon My Back
Were Nothing
More Than Old Hemp Sacks
But None Of
This Is True, You See
Its All Made
Up Of Fantasy
When I Was Young,
I Will Not Boast
I Had The Things
I Needed Most
Riding Trains
All Through The Night
Past The City's
Sparkling Lights
Empty Seats
Where No one Sits
Cigarettes And
Coughing Fits
Traveling From
Near To Far
Sitting In The
Smoking Car
Street Lights
Flicker
And Sputter
In The Night
As All The Homes
Are Locked Up Tight
And The Timid
Stay In Bed
For A Fear Of
What May Be Lurking
In The Death
Dark Doorways
Or In Their
Hearts… |

DOLLAR BILL (marshall
with kane 1999) You
Pay Your Money, And You Takes Your Choice
Standing In
Line With All The Other Boys
You Drink Your
Drink, And You Wait Your Turn
You Even Think
You Got A Chance With Her
She Shakes Her
Ass, And She Strokes Your Collar
Don't You Know
She's Only In It For The Dollar
Really Got You
Hooked When She Calls You Honey
By Closing Time
She'll Be Having All Your Money
She Says It's
Just For A Little While
I Can Make Us
Rich, We'll Go Out In Style
The Way She
Struts Her Stuff For You
She Thinks You'll
Never Have A Clue
She's Making
Cash The Old Fashioned Way
Since Before
Christ, And It's Here To Stay
You Thought
She Was At The Restaurant
But There's
Money Down At The Titty Bar
She Told Her
Boyfriend She's Working As A Waitress
Only Thing She
Could Get Was The Night Shift
Boyfriend Going
Out To Buy The Bitch Some Diet Pringles
Reached Into
Her Purse And Found Funky Sweaty Singles
He Don't Catch
On, He's A Stupid Musician
She Keeps Him
Happy With A New Sex Position
Going To The
Club Feeling Powerful And Sexy
Where She's
Going To Be When She's Pushing Forty
Then You Catch
Her Down At The Titty Bar
She Thinks
She's Got Them All Under Her Spell
But Her Bible
Thumping Parents Say She's Going To Hell
Her Boob Job
Costs Only Six Months Wages
Now They Got
Her Dancing In Cages
The Dumb Musician
Out With His Band mates
Sees Her Hanging
From The Ceiling
Wearing Nothing
But A Band-Aid
Gets Upset,
And Gets Thrown Out By The Bouncer
Next Thing You
Know, She's A Bedroom Surfer
Called Her
Boyfriend, Said She's Working All Week
So He Through
All Her Belongings Out Into The Street
Now She's Making
A Living Selling Her Body
Going House
To House, Ain’t Nothing But A Party
She Thinks Her
Life's A Big Vacation
Boyfriend Gets
Arrested For <"Public Intoxication">
Parents Disowned
Her, They Just Couldn't Take It
Now You're Paying
Money To See Her Naked
Then You Caught
Her Down At The Titty Bar |

Hold On Tight
Hold on,
Hold on,
Hold on,
Hold on tight
Feel my pulse race hard in my chest
Watch the veins bulge out of my head
Your skin so pale in the soft moonlight
Touch me now, and
Hold on tight
Ride ‘em hard, and ride ‘em wet
One life may be all we get
Speed may kill, or so they say
But nothing matters when I feel this way
Feel the wind blow in your hair
Engine hummin’ down under there
Lord gave us something man cannot give
Nor take away, and
We ride to live
Hold on,
Hold on,
Hold on,
Hold on tight now
Ride ‘em hard, and ride ‘em wet
One life may be all we get
Speed may kill, or so they say
But nothing matters when I feel this way
I’m still flying out of control
Watch me now as
I fuck the world |

DARK SKIES
( 1997 KANE / MARSHALL ) What
is the spider to the fly
What is the needle to the eye
What is the ocean to the rain
What is the feral to the tame
CHORUS:
Were you the slightest bit surprised
When you had finally realized
That all this darkness in the sky
Came from within.
Why do the winds disturb the sands
Why is the time so close at hand
Why is there calm before the storm
Why is there substance without form
CHORUS:
Were you the slightest bit surprised
When you had finally realized
That all this darkness in the sky
Came from within.
BREAK
Who is the me nobody knows
Who is the you that never shows
Who is the us that used to be
Who is the one to set us free
CHORUS:
Were you the slightest bit surprised
When you had finally realized
That all this darkness in the sky
Came from within. |

EIGHT
TRACK BABY
( 1997 KANE / MARSHALL )
CHORUS:
Eight Track Baby with a one track mind
Cute little shorty with a big behind
Met her at a party, and her name was Sheba
Nicely stacked, and she smokes a lot of cheeba
BREAK
Took her back to my place, kickin’ it live
Dancin’ to her favorite BeeGees jive
I couldn’t dig the music, but I really liked the view
Rollin’ up a doobie gave me something to do
BREAK
CHORUS:
Eight Track Baby with a one track mind
Cute little shorty with a big behind
Dance, and party, and smoke all night

Sucking down blunts like there’s no tomorrow
Tried to get her over to my bedroom door
But she just lit another, and danced some more

Cute little shorty with a big behind
Dance, and party, and smoke all night
Some kind of lover, That’s All Right !

I’m losing my grip
I’ve loosened my hold
I’m starting to slip
I’m losing control
CHORUS:
I feel reality slipping away from me
I feel reality slipping away
I’m starting to trip
It’s freaking me out
I’m going to flip
There can be no more doubt
CHORUS:
I think reality has slipped away from me
I think reality has slipped away
BREAK
I’m stark raving crazy
Completely deranged
I’m so twisted and hazy
It’s been all arranged

I’m glad reality has lost it’s taste for me

IN
LOVE NOT FRIENDS
(Kane/Marshall 1997)
It begins slowly
Day after day
You can't exactly stop
And then you're friends
CHORUS:
Fall in love
Then you're not friends
Give up everything
When you fall in love
It takes so long to change
When you're bound
Slip away from family and friends
And then from God
Then you're sorry
You can't explain
There's too many reasons
There's too much pain
CHORUS:
Fall in love
Then you're not friends
Give up everything
When you fall in love
It takes so long to change
When you're bound
Slip away from family and friends
And then from God
I could not find my way back
Didn't know which way to go
I forgot all my beliefs
All that I began
I'll have to start all over again
And again and again and again
CHORUS:
Fall in love
Then you're not friends
Give up everything
When you fall in love
It takes so long to change
When you're bound
Slip away from family and friends
And then from God
Can't find my way back
Which way'd you go
And then you'll find
It's just as sure
It's just as quick
It's just as pure |

WAITRESS

Every day at the diner
It’s always service with a smile

I think I love that little waitress
Cause she’s got feminine style

SPINNING
( 1997 KANE / MARSHALL Lights are speeding
by
Spots are in my eye
Can’t believe the sky
Time is on the sly
Life is getting real
Hide behind the wheel
Road has come alive
Still somehow I drive
CHORUS:
I’m spinning wheels, I’m spinning wheels
Spinning wheels, I’m spinning wheels
Spinning wheels, I’m spinning wheels
Spinning wheels, I’m spinning wheels
Spinning wheels, I’m spinning wheels
Spinning wheels, I’m spinning wheels
Spinning wheels, I’m spinning wheels
I’m spinning wheels
Wheels that kiss the ground
I can feel the sound
Road and I are one
Below the blazing sun
Life is driving fast
Running from the past
Racing through the days
Until they’ve gone away
CHORUS: (Same as above)
Drive the fastest lane
Steer away from pain
Take the road you choose
And throw away what you can’t use
Pass the world so fast
Nothing ever has to last
Live along the way
Till my dying day
CHORUS: (Same as above) |

ENERGY
ROLLERCOASTER
( 1997 ANDERSON / KANE / MARSHALL )
Maybe, baby I think I can see the top
So hold on. Hold on now as we start to drop
I want to enjoy this great big ride
Ride down the other side
And see what’s down inside
CHORUS:
Energy, Energy Rollercoaster
Energy, Energy Rollercoaster
Energy, Energy Rollercoaster
Look at all the others they are
Tricked into their exteriors
Everyone is too uptight to decide
What they really want inside of the

Sharing some of the things we hold near to us
To make this ride a much
Better time for us... On the

I want to let go, and ride without care
And know that I am there
Eternally you know where... |

TIES
( 1997 KANE / MARSHALL As I slip from
dark to deep
Shave my head when I’m asleep
Never think to change disguise
Would make the truth from lies
Seems if nothing’s ever spoken
Who’s to know if something’s broken
Even when we have some doubt
We always try to work it out
But do you even want it fixed
Or has it just been eighty sixed
And what a sad, and selfish game
To give the joy, and hide the pain
CHORUS:
The ties
That bind
Together
Are slowly wearing through
Tangled
Neglected
Forgotten
And you know I never knew
What is happy, do you know
Think you felt it at the show
Is it something you create
Or caused by something that you ate
Did you ever feel that way
I don’t know, it’s hard to say
But you’re sure it’s gone away
I don’t think that I should stay
CHORUS: (Same as above Twice) |

TALK TO
THE HAND
( 1997 KANE / MARSHALL )
Listen here and listen now
This is a message to show you how
The meaning should be clear
Your face, your voice: Disappear
Seek and you shall find
It should be clear inside your mind
I think you understand
The time to act is now
CHORUS:
Talk to the hand
Talk to the hand
Talk to the hand
Just talk to the hand
Talk to the hand
Talk to the hand
Just talk to the hand
You gotta talk to the hand
Your talking head it rambles on
You’re still going, but I’m half gone
What’s in the silence that you fear
That keeps you ringing in my ear
Your voice boring through my head
Not half done, but I’m half dead
In the beginning you’re entrance was grand
Now there’s the exit...
CHORUS:
Now talk to the hand
Just talk to the hand
Talk to the hand
Talk to the hand
Talk to the hand
Talk to the hand
You gotta talk to the hand
Talk to the hand
TALK TO THE HAND !
BREAK
Now talk to the hand
Talk to the hand
Just talk to the hand
You gotta talk to the hand
Talk to the hand
Talk to the hand
You gotta talk to the hand
Talk to the hand
Talk to the hand
Talk to the hand
Talk to the hand
Talk to the hand
Talk to the hand
Talk to the hand
Talk to the hand
You gotta talk to the hand
Talk to the hand
Just talk to the hand
Talk to the hand
Talk to the hand
JUST TALK TO THE HAND ! |
