Dear Person

Please enjoy these combinations of the English language. I "wrote" the words -- however I take no prisoners here. Please have them over for tea, or at least let them take you to some unique places as they ought to. TRANSLATION: use these words to work with some chords you thought of or to complete some thought you had with words or to spark some new words to be its own concoction, etc et al. (Thanks and please get in touch with me if you end up recording something with them or the likes - sans pressure)

sincerely,

Karl Blau

quickly, here are other rooms: my label known as KLAPS, and here is how to get in touch.

Have I not listened to the rain on the water enough?

Has the message not sunk into my skull yet?

I have slowed down this much and still

Can I read the sign?...

------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm going to fill this cup and bring it to you

It's only water, it's only water

I'm going to fill this cup and I want nothing from you

But if you should choose to...

Yes, I know where there is water

Yes, I know where distant spring flows

Yes, I know that I may be pouring this cupful into the sand, the sand, the sand

No, I won't ask you to take my hand, my hand, my hand

No, I won't ask anything of you

Know that I would do most anything, anything

But I know to trust in nothing

I will be wrong again

I will write this song again and again

My will is strong again

And again it's for you that I do

Yes, I do have a wish that I let go softly

In stillness and darkness alone

------------------------------------------------------------------

If you feel as though you were blown

By winds unseen

Come home, sailor, come home

The storm will never cease

As long as you are sailing

You with the flashlight

moving through the crowd

Trading your amp in

for something smaller

You may have something to say yet

Break into the chapel

Here its too dark to film

Stacked up by the hand of glory

Pieces of darkness placed one by one

-------------------------------

Dimebag didn't break the Band

It was the guitar tech some say -- but he was the first to break

If you boost the mids pre

You gotta cut them post

And I for one have been cutting

A lot out after the fact

What happened was someone had a dream

To manufacture dinosaurs

And, upon waking

“For cheap, for everyone,” finally the dino-dealers declared

Long ago I heard myself say:

That’s not my rock to roll

Go ahead and push it on down the road

That’s not my rock to roll

I don’t want it anywhere near my home

But somehow I ended up owning one,

renting one, and borrowing another still

Even at the cost of going against will

At least one dinosaur for every man, woman and child

At least One dinosaur for every creature in the wild

Now these beasts have taken over the earth

What with their paths, what with their girth

And these beasts -- they run hungry each way that they do

While I struggle to feed them

Haunted by echoes of:

That’s not my rock to roll

Go ahead and push it on down the road

That’s not my rock to roll

I don’t want it anywhere near my home

At a time, think you can?

Consume 8

MEMPHIS IS THE PLACE I GAVE MY HEART AWAY

Like a fenced goat that spied vast pasture

Then an open gate, and the back of my master's

head - gave - thoughts - to - chance - ex - panse

though - bell - y's - so - full - eyes - still - glance

Memphis is the place I gave my heart away

MEMPHIS IS THE PLACE I GAVE MY HEART AWAY

Right above the knee I start to see ann opening

Growing with the swelling of my gift I'm hoping I can

fit - through - it - though - chest - is - thick - in

Memphis - the place I gave my heart away

MEMPHIS IS THE PLACE I GAVE MY HEART AWAY

Wrapped in paper and string 'twas delivered

By a hand that bore a gold circle severed but

work - and - time - may make - me - tal - shine - again

Memphis is the place I gave my heart away

Check out Baker,

She's still wearing her white gown...

Who's gonna tell her how the party has been over for days?

-------------------------------------------------------------

Why are you smoking?

Did someone toss a pale at your feet?

Last night we were choking

In the hotbox we laughed so hard as you led us through games

Every game must have a goal

Like every day must have an end

Spun the bottle til it was broken

Til you could no longer pretend

You keep hope it's not the -- Wrong Stuff

Hope, it's not the -- Wrong Stuff

Hope can do no harm...

But what are you smoking?

Said "Good Morning Judge" and picked the butt right off of the street

Some 'staches keep growing

Ours is leaving -- hope to find something to eat

You keep on talking spit

I'll keep on shaping ship

We'll keep on taking shit ... for free

And hope it's not the -- Wrong Stuff

Hope, it's not the -- Wrong Stuff

BABIES IN THE CROW'S NEST

CAN BABIES READ THE SIGNS?

I'M ASKED TO TEST THE WATER BY PICKLING IN THE BRINE

I LIKE THE SMELL OF OCEAN

I PLUG MY NOSE IN TIME

TAKE ONE BREATH FOR MY DARLING

ONE BREATH FOR MY MUSE

THERE'S THE CAKE AND THEN THE EATING

I MUST USE SOME SENSE TO CHOOSE

BOUGHT SOME CANDY FOR MY BABY

COAX HER DOWN FROM UP ON HIGH

JUST TO STRAP HER TO A ROCKET

POINT HER BODY TO THE SKY

I'M FINISHED FOLDING PAPER

A THOUSAND THOUSAND CRANES IN ALL

IT'S ENOUGH TO FILL THE POOL

IS IT ENOUGH TO BREAK HER FALL?

NOW MY BABY'S ON THE CORNER

OF ASCENT AND TRANSCEND

SEE HER TAKE THE TIME TO BREATHE

SEE HER TAKE THE TIME TO MEND

BLUE AS MY NAME

DRUNK WITH WONDER AGAIN

TAKING THE DAY OFF

FROM IMAGINING WHEN

MY BABY WILL DROP DOWN

BUT I'LL BE READY WITH OPEN ARMS

-------------------------------------------------------------

Finally! Someone else who likes pink

In this blue, blue, black and blue, black and blue land

Finally!

--------------------------------------------------------------

Flash a pack of matches in the dry, summer woods

When I am you, I know I'm up to no good

YOU WANT HEAVEN TO KNOW YOU ARE GOOD

BUT YOU'RE JUST UP TO HERE IN NO GOOD

Shake the fern, cause a raucous

Until you make her cry, you won't know

How far is too far? Halfway to the stars your wings will burn

now, It's my turn

For my eyes to burn

Wish for peace by walking uphill

A piece of sanity is not all, but will

Do for now, now I know, I know how

To leave the ferns be just blowing in the wind

I can take that tip and I can pretend

That it's my will they bend to and fro

I can fool myself into thinking anything's so

I WANT HEAVEN TO KNOW I'M GOOD

I WANT TO FIND MY PLACE HERE IN HER WOOD

I WANT HER TO BELIEVE THAT HERE IS WHERE I SHOULD

I HEAR HER THOUGHTS SAY I'M UP TO HERE IN NO GOOD

DOES IT MATTER WHAT I THINK?

I THINK I'M UP TO KNOW GOOD

I'M WADING IN A STREAM UP TO HERE

DOES IT MATTER WHAT SHE THINKS?

SHE THINKS I'M UP TO NO GOOD

SHE'S WAITING IN A STREAM UP TO HEAR

---------------------------------------------------------------

JUST BECAUSE MY EYE SAW

YOU FELL FROM SKY

DOESN'T MEAN THAT I CAN'T ASK FOR

SPACE BETWEEN US

.......................................................................

The fact that I am singing

Just ain't enough for you

You need for my words

To help you try another pair of shoe

I will not dive in

I'll just skim across the top

A skipping stone that will never see the bottom

(chorus possibly) I screw tin eyes on you

I screw tin eyes on you

I just can't leave my toolbox at home

I screw tin eyes on you

Never learned to leave well enough alone

================================================

i had to quiet my mind

and give myself the time

it was laying next to me on the ground

all along

a dog that had stopped begging for bone

given up and limp

but flinching when it heard my cry

caught my eye

and i brought myself down to ground level

lowness can bring comfort

being close to one's dog

gives strength

the shape of the earth

is strength

then upon taking off my shoes

ready to run again

and feel the sky again

==================================================

Choosing to partake

Is the choice that she's giving to you

When the wait is long

hear the song that she's singing for you

way off in the blue...

Face your fears and strain your ears

Levitate to Alaska

Talk to the source -- face off in the mirror

A reflection of a father who is tasting his prime in your shoes

------------------------------- ------------------------------- ------------------------------- -------------------------------

I can't turn it off

I can't turn it off, it's like mothwings coming from inside

If I could write it all down, the earth would stop and we'd go flyin'

So I'm holdin' back, it's not manly -- I know

I'm holdin' back, it's not manly -- I know

Try to catch my tracks in the snow

I'm miles away by now...

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Covetted as a slave to the system

You could dig a deep dark cave

with all your wisdom

But with love like a tidal wave

You may go the distance

Most people want to behave

I want resistance

Punch the face of saving grace

Now yer wrist hurts...

---------------------------------------------------

I had to talk to my soul

with shoe glue

begged my soul to stay and help me play

my part in traveling

this rainbow trail -- my name in braille

or at least leave a static signature

What would the tongue say

if in the way? -- maybe just "slowly"

--------------------------------------------------
