Ahhhhh... Here I am, my friend Just pushed me off this cliff Now I fall, It's a long way down I'll probably die. I'm falling off a cliff And this is my last bit of life What haven't I done That wasn't quite right? I remember that I was mean to my sister I think I never told my wife enough how much I love her. I'm falling off a cliff And this is my last bit of life What haven't I done That wasn't quite right?

Stonehenge 02:11
50,000 years ago, or maybe more The dawn people came to salisbury plain But no one knows for sure Was it the Partholonians, Formorians, or Nemedians Or the Fir Bolg that built the monument? Why did they build an array of stones? How did they lift them up to put them where they go? Was it for religious rituals late at night Where people sacrificed animals Or was it merely a giant astronomical calendar Made by a people interested in the sky? Sunset, moonrise, a perfect machine Sarsen circle, bluestone horseshoe, And the five trilithons Bluestone Circle, Predict eclipses with the Aubrey holes, Moonset, sunrise. Why did they build an array of stones? How did they lift them up to put them where they go?

Once I fell down the stairs And I had to go the hospital And while I was there I met a nurse named Cindy She gave me lots of meals And told me lots of stories I had a bed that was on wheels And she'd give me rides around the hospital.

Ask a toddler what he thinks About the pyramid or the sphinx And he will tell you, "I don't know." Ask a grown-up what he thinks About the pyramid or the sphinx And he will tell you, "The aliens built them."

Tree Bugs 01:02
What is a tree? A tree is big and green And the trunk is brown. Inside the bark there is something unseen. There are little bugs That crawl around under the bark There are probably 50 million bugs for every tree in the park.

One person when talking to Another uses certain words That is how the process of Communication works. And when one perceives the Other different from the first The thought and meaning intended By the speaker will probably burst. Or at least it will be deranged The intended communication has changed. So when you're speaking, be aware Of blank looks and evil stares Make sure you express yourself clearly Avoid miscommunication early.

Sometimes I feel like I'm a star, I see bright lights and an audience before me. But the trouble is, we don't know who we are, And this is a problem I could not forsee. The crowd goes wild and then they shout My worst nightmare: then they figure it out. Nobody likes my show, because the Winkle Monkeys know. The Winkle Monkeys know I am a fraud.

Out in the desert or on the plain Nothing nowhere, feel the pain Pains of hunger, pains of thirst Walking forever, I must be cursed But I know I've a destination. I don't work this hard for recreation. Twenty-four hours and for six tunes Watch me stumble in the sand dunes. But I am running a marathon I will keep running all night long. But I know I've a destination. I don't work this hard for recreation.

Isa 29 02:27
And the multitude of all the nations That fight against Ariel Shall be as a dream of a night vision. It shall be as when a hungry man dreameth And he eateth, But he awaketh and his soul is empty. Stay yourselves and wonder Cry ye out and cry. They are drunken, but not with wine. They stagger, but not with strong drink. Forasmuch as this people draw near me With their mouth, And with their lips do honor me, But have removed their heart from me. And their fear toward me Is taught by the precepts of men Therefore, behold, I will proceed To do a marvelous work among this people. Even a marvelous work and a wonder For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, And the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.

I'm a one-dimensional man I don't say 'hi' and I don't shake hands I don't have ideas and I don't make plans No one thinks exactly like I can. If you were an onion, I'd be just a core If you were a disease, I'd only be one sore If you were a tree, merely a leaf would I be I'm a one-dimensional man. It's not my choice, it's just how I was formed I only notice water when I'm in a storm Try me in a conversation, though, you must be forewarned: You'd rather be talking to an acorn. I'm a one-dimensional man.

Spring Love 00:40
When spring is here I shall tell you, dear, How deep my love is for you. When flowers grow They'll long to show Their bright and lovely colors. When cometh rain It shall be plain That live beginneth anew. When spring is here I shall tell you, dear, How deep my love is for you.

We've tamed the unknown mind, We control our feelings too To ensure positive growth In society for me and you. We've abolished love And the problems it can cause There is no war, no hate and envy Because of these laws. We... are the Society United! We... have eliminated pain. Everyone's needs are taken care of All have a place to live. We all have food on our plates And jobs so we can give. We've conquered earth's disease We live life as it was meant to live, with all our talents, artistic, scientific developments. We... are the Society United! We... have eliminated pain. (spoken) Let me take you back to the time before the great last wars, when our ancestors lived in a world they could not control! They had no way to grow! They were constantly fighting against the elements, and sickness, and their own hatred towards each other. It was chaos! Do you want to go back to that? No! Thanks to our Determiner and the new Society United we are free! The Society United! We... have eliminated pain. And the old ways won't ever come back again.

I'm back at the beginning, But I thought I was at the end I was searching for something But all I found was another bend. Another bend in the road But the search is not done Made it to the next milestone But I'm still chasing the sun. Put your head on my shoulder And don't you cry I'll be with always Even when there's clouds in the sky. Another bend in the road But the search is not done Made it to the next milestone But I'm still chasing the sun.

about

This album is a collection of songs conceived and written between 2002 and 2005 for Bullet Lodge a charter of the Immersion Composition Society, a group of speed songwriters who share their monthly albums with each other.

Most of these songs were created and recorded as part of a challenge to write and record at least 6 songs in a 24-hour period (called a "day album"). These are the better tracks from those hastily recorded sessions.
