My Messiah

She's My Messiah,
She has been all along,
She will be for eternity.

Oooh, she's My Messiah,
With her beautiful eyes
And her long long legs,
Who walk Me to freedom.

Ooooh, she's My Messiah alone,
And Mine alone.
She will build beautiful things with me,
And Me alone.

She will be the eye
In my new sky,
Which will be pure and innocent,
Because she's My Messiah,
Oooh yes she is
And she's Mine alone.

I am the Superhero in gravity
And she's My Messiah,
She has been all along
And she will be for eternity.

Oooh she's My Messiah
And she will forever be.

Mr.Sulfer

You're gonna lose it all,
And I will win.
Do you hear me Mr. Sulfer?
Leave me the hell alone.
I will shoot your a**
Billions of lightyears away.
You're gonna freeze your a** off
And you'll be all naked.
Do you hear me Mr.Sulfer?
Leave me the hell alone.

Oh watch out Mr.Sulfer,
Slippery when wet..
You look kinda grey there,
Mr.Sulfer and your eyes,
Your eyes are all red.

You're gonna lose it all
And I will win.
Do you hear me Mr.Sulfer?
Leave me the hell alone.

Your head is spinning,
As I can see, it is spînning
From North to South
And East and West.

L'Amour D'Ailleurs

J'ai dis une fois
La même vérité
Du début.
Des choses qui doivent
Exister dans le ciel éclairant.

J'ai dis deux fois,
La propre vérité
De l'amour d'ailleurs,
Qui se montrera
Dans le nouveau Multivers.

J'ai dis trois fois,
A trois personnes,
D'arrêter le cirque
Dans notre existence
Et écouter la vérité
De l'amour d'ailleurs.

J'ai dis quatre fois,
De suivre le numéro cinq,
L'amour d'ailleurs,
La propriété de notre bon Dieu.

Cinq fois, je vais chanter,
Ce chanson pour tout les oreilles
Qui veulent m'écouter,
La chanson de l'amour d'ailleurs.

Here I Am


"Here I am.", you said to me,
as you did surface, on the sea.
"I'll now set sail, and taste salt air,
and let the wind design my hair.

Do send some words, to add to mine.
It's lonely here, on boat of rhyme.
Just hoist your sail, and drop a line --
French, German, English, Dutch, is fine."

"So, here they are, dear Julie D.
Sans beer, I send, from here to thee.
These words are sent, as if, by you.
Perhaps, they are -- poetic rule!

Now, back on land, I'll SETI down --
Await reply from Belgium town!"

I got rock and roll shoes
I got T.V. blues
And i don't have any friends here among the cats heare among the cats
I got the cure for the flues and i really don't mind the screws
I keep tellin' everybody / i keep tellin' everyone everyone
Should 'ave been a doctor
Can't get any soap stone
Carve away the war
Won't join the army band
Sell in a general store
Cops won't catch me
Walking in the grass
Or breaking the bank on sunday to fake some extra cash
Or to keep a sleep upon the wall like a lion stalks in stone
Or to have the visions of a bad or nine plus lives just like a cat
Don't i have any friends here among the cats here among the cats?
I got the cure for the flues and i really don't mind the screws
And i keep tellin' all the fools i should 'ave been a Lectric Cat
I keep tellin' everybody / i keep tellin' everyone everyone
I shoulda been a doctor
Ain't there any visions i can contract
To have night eyes or fly like the crow flies
Oh but don't i have any friends here among the cats here among the cats?
Now ain't there any systems to curb the hiccups and the scratch?

"The Writer"

they seek peace
said the writer
to no one i could see
i am bound
to seek knowledge
no hero stuff for me

and i await the dream that the writer said
would come to my rescue
ships of silver
ships of light
with a semi-solid crew

and shine down to me from the stars
come the angels from space
bring me up to your world
leave a question in my place
take me over where you go
let me be there so i know
it's true
what the writer knew

they want love
said the writer
it is that they do not know
what we have
has been denied them
that's what made them go

and i await the dream that the writer said
would come to my rescue
ships of silver
ships of light
with a semi-solid crew

and shine down to me from the stars
come the angels from space
bring me up to your world
leave a question in my place
take me over where you go
let me be there so i know
it's true
what the writer knew

"Empty Is My World (Without You)"

empty is my world...
empty is my world
empty is my world
without you
empty is my world...
empty is my world
empty is my world
without you

somewhere in the stars
way out there past mars
there's a beacon in the sky
and it's callin'
sends it's best to you
all it says is true
when the time is right
they'll be comin'

empty is my world...
empty is my world
empty is my world
without you
empty is my world...
empty is my world
empty is my world
without you

tell it to your soul
the part of you that knows
that the voices in the sky
have been callin'
something we don't know
in the distant shadow glows
we are in their sights
they've been watchin'

empty is my world...
empty is my world
empty is my world
without you
empty is my world...
empty is my world
empty is my world
without you

(bridge)
in the silence of the night
when they reach out
gonna feel it in your bones
getting closer every day
without a doubt
hope is movin' in
will we be foe or friend?

empty is my world...
empty is my world
empty is my world
without you
empty is my world...
empty is my world
empty is my world
without you

(2008 db michel)

Btw...For those who may be curious...This was written as a take on what a friendly message from an extra-terrestrial intelligence might be if decoded...The friendly and rather lonely alien message...Empty is my world...without you...

“This Might Be My Year To Go To Mars”

I don’t need a reason
like I needed one before
the earth I know is tired
from far too many wars
all the nervous humor
is getting tired and old
I can see it coming
and I don’t have to be told

this might be
yes this might be
as good a time
as there will ever be
I’d like to see
if I could go that far
this might be my year to go to mars

changes blur the seasons
from what they were before
the places I remember
are just pictures on the floor
I won’t try to deny it
the warm that should be cold
I can see it coming
and I don’t have to be told

this might be
yes this might be
as good a time
as there will ever be
I’d like to see
if I could go that far
this might be my year to go to mars

they ask me why
I say why not
there come’s a day
to fly away
from everything you’ve got

this might be
yes this might be
as good a time
as there will ever be
I’d like to see
if I could go that far
this might be my year to go to mars

Max Webster
Hangover (ode to SETI@home)
(Music–Kim Mitchell/Lyrics–Pye DuBois)

tomorrow don’t be here today / take a cruise take a holiday
cold morning and the drums / blue eyes in the window sun

C–i don’t feel you but i know you’re around
i can feel you cause i feel the sound
cold morning and the drums / blue eyes in the window sun
alka seltzer, tang and a 50 / it’s all over / hangover

it’s getting warmer it’s controlling my mind
it’s coming closer i’m biding my time
double vision when the bars close down
double vision when the bars close down
my legs are weak her arms are strong
the door is open the stairs are steep
the room is near but oh so far
the lights are round but so are the stars–C

you got a hangover?
i got a hangover

"The Lies That Make You Die"

You can’t believe
in what you see
misdirection spin
leads you where they want you to be

you can’t break free
and you won’t try
you miss the evidence
shining right in front of your eyes

while your busy hearing what you want to hear
singing someone else’s tune
the lies that make you die
are messing up the world for you

while the truth is knocking at your door
and you don’t want to know
the lies that make you die
will go ahead and make it so

they promise more
and you get less
those with way too much
will never have to pass the test

you smile a lot
like you don’t care
resigned to your fate
you’re not going anywhere

while your busy hearing what you want to hear
singing someone else’s tune
the lies that make you die
are messing up the world for you

while the truth is knocking at your door
and you don’t want to know
the lies that make you die
will go ahead and make it so

A Time to Reminisce


A time to reminisce.
A time to shed a tear.
A time to share a kiss.
A time to hold one near.

The world is upside-down.
Old ways are blown away.
But, friendships that are found,
endure, in their own way.

Though distances might form,
and sadness might result . . .
Some efforts can be torn,
with unintended doubt.

But, patient love, is best.
But, patient love, is best.

We're Wind-up Dolls


We're wind-up dolls.
Don't believe, otherwise.
When the spring tension drops . . .

Onto the stage, we dance.
Into the music, most grand.
Centered with spotlight . . .

We're wind-up dolls,
dancing, yet dancing,
we dare not desist.

A question:
When will the music stop?
Before we wind down?

Or, will it continue . . .
supporting sweet end,
to our beautiful lives --

Our lives filled with poignancy,
an end to our show.
Our spring's tension gone . . .

Our steps on the stage,
are echoed, tap, tap --
then tunes fade away.

*

Quietly, the stage master
picks up each doll,
gently places in box.

Then turns out the lights,
and yawns end of day.

*

But, echoes, small echoes,
still nudge walls, their way.

Our lives aren't for naught.
With music, they're bought.

Sweet tunes in the night.
Sweet tunes in the night.

Do The Evolution

Let's talk evolution.
Let's talk wisely
And do the evolution.

Smile, shine, be positive
And do the evolution.

Don't worry, be happy
And do the evolution.
Relax, chill
And please, do the evolution.

Find wisdom, talk wisdom,
Share it, and do the evolution.

It is not a race
It is easy to win,
Doing the evolution.

Yeah, look at me,
I'm doing the evolution,
Sounds like Nuclear Fusion..

It is easy to win the evolution.
It is easy to win and do the evolution.

The House Of Love

I'm a spy
In the house of pain.
Come tell me your lies
And I'll judge you afterwards.
You f**king parasites are all the same.

You Will follow the rules of the House of Love

Y O U H A V E T O

Because the Lord obeys you to.

I'm a victim
In the house of lies.
Come give me my pain
And I will give it to you
In return, as a payback.

Vultures you are!
You pick on the last bone
Of the Lord's painful skeleton
While you grovel in wealth and lust.

I told you before and I will tell you again.
She's My Messiah.

You f**king imbeciles think of that.

Figuring Out

Breathing is one,
Figuring out is two
And for the rest..
You go the long way, baby
And being wrapped up in your dreams
Is a fight that leads you
To the force within yourself.

It's a constant fight
Between wrong and right.

Hold on to me, baby
And for the rest..

Life is a fight,
Life is pain,
Because it is a fight.

Figuring out
The last seconds
Of our breathing time.

Figuring out
The last 5 seconds
Of Love

Dad, where are the rabbits?

Just wait, Son.
There's more of 'em,
every year.
Rabbit stew.
Rabbit pie.
Yum!

Plenty of rabbits,
this year, Dad.
Lots to eat, and easy
to hunt.
They just wait for you!

*

I don't see hardly
any more rabbits, this year, Dad.

They die off, every
few years, Son.

But why this year, Dad?
It shouldn't be --
There aren't as may
people
to hunt 'em!

"Rocket Ride"

if i could i would take a rocket ship and fly
to mars or some other destination in the sky
i just know that i'm meant to go
though it seems somehow i've been before
but my mind is foggy about those days
when i was a child and could dream in space
mom and dad don't seem to remember at all
about the trip i took when i was small
i want to get back and see again
the sights i must have seen back then
but no one knows except for me
about the rocket ship with the silver seats
and the lady who told me not to cry
we're just going on a rocket ride
though i am older no longer a child
yesterdays history still has to hide
but inside my heart will always stay
the dream of once again flying away

History's Dilemma

It is said:

To read about history . . .
is to avoid repeating it.

*

If history was created by perfect people,
should their actions not be remembered?

However,

Is knowledge gained,
by learning from past mistakes,
as well as from past accomplishments?

Should all the past's mistakes
be retained?

Should all the past's accomplishments
be retained?

Who should judge?

When?
