Well you shook the hands
and you schmoozed with ties
showed with gifts
and you shook her thighs
but you did not say what you needed to
but you did not say what you needed to

It’s a shame
that it’s gone down this way
It’s insane
one more time what’d you say
Love just take care what you do
2012 Pressure Dropping on You

Well you ate the steaks
and you drank the wines
booked the flights
and had great times
but you only were how they wanted you
only were how they wanted you

It’s a shame
that it’s gone down this way
It’s insane
one more time what’d you say
Love just take care what you do
2012 Pressure Dropping on You

Well your mother wept at your wedding bells
Your father kept your good credit well
Grandma slept at the funeral
and they all came down together
they all came down together

we all go down together

It’s a shame
that it’s gone down this way
It’s insane
one more time what’d you say
Love just take care what you do
2012 Pressure Dropping on You

“2012 Pressure Drop” Lyrics by Mike McHugh ©2007

We were 15 hours and 3 more days
from the place where we came from

As the door slid shut I looked her way
and thought of what this journey’s become

It’s been two years
spaceside
Mission City on Mars

We decided to miss the apocalypse
now we’re ready to restart

Last One Down
across the ozone

Now that radiation was tolerable
we could go back to our home

Now that the population was dead and gone
all the property values were low

Last One Down
across the ozone

It’s way too long
sign on

We lost contact an hour ago
Her pod can not be found

I hit the ground and searched the sky
for a trace of light or sound

It’s way too long
sign on

DJ QuestionMark “Ozone” lyrics by Mike McHugh ©2009

Take a hit
puff puff give
keep it well hid
they’ll confiscate it

Legalize it
utilize it
analyzin’ why

why it’s a crime
it’s a plant
why it’s a crime
it’s a plant

Take a hit
puff puff give
keep it well hid
they’ll confiscate it

“Puff Puff Give” lyrics by Mike McHugh ©2009

Walk and Roll
Knock-kneed Jamaica
love to the girl whose high in the sun
spill my time out on the table
run with the ride ’til there’s nothing left here
I dove in the radio and brought you back crystals and beer

I know you know you know
just what you need
just who you are
Babylon Mouth
Palm Tree Guitar
be my superstar

Arm chair wasted
television tuesday
cutting up the lines with Old Bull Lee
I would call her if two was my number
I would go to sleep if head no spin
Black-eyed watching the Red Sox and Indians

I though it was going all right
long subway kiss
electric sunrise
star spangled lust
pink morning eyes
now I need turpentine
for my skull
I sunk all day
sorrow so fast
it was bigger than love
it was bigger than sex
it was bigger than present tense

Hang the band, hang the composer, hang the stage rug out to dry
I saw a demon drinking coffee inside you
magic store girl pretty enough to frame
the ghost in the fog singing sweet bye and bye again

Looking for Atlantis
in the sound of a rain drop’s love
It’s like it’s been implanted
in the sound of a rain drop’s love

“Walk and Roll” lyrics by Mike McHugh ©2009

She was most lovely and lost
escaping from her father’s sky
a moonshine drinking rose
she kept up with me then passed me by

didn’t it all go so fast
didn’t we learn very slowly
I needed you last night
sometimes when I think it over
the memory stabs me inside

Long Girl

I can’t let you

Sun dress and black boots
Strangers in strange suits
faces that I drew
coming to save you
showed her my great view
drugstore to buy you anything you want

Strangers with danger all rearrange her
pose in the manger
tempting the angels
working the angles, working the numbers
overs and unders, broken asunder
retrieve the wonder, I think it over the memory stabs me inside

I can’t let you

Long Girl

Lyrics by Mike McHugh ©2009

The chord alone broke through the concrete night
reconciling union station
from under the clock in one solemn wave
space was filled by a wounded spirit’s shades

Oh La Sive Waits

No sightless eyes or shuffling fee postponed
pushing numb flesh straight ahead
but gentle strings like a lost friend in a dream
touched me as the ocean’s breeze

Oh La Siva Waits

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
“Siva Waits” Lyrics by Mike McHugh ©2009

Won’t you let me in woman through your front door
look upon the sound, my light’s on the sea
I did it all for you in case you wonder
look upon the sound, my light’s on the sea

Feel Soul Eyes
I know tomorrow

It’s not love that is in your house
It’s not love that is in your man
It’s not love that is in his money
It’s not love if you feel so lonely

Feel Soul Eyes
I know tomorrow

“Feel Soul Eyes” lyrics by Mike McHugh ©2009

We’re on a Soul Spaceship
It’s windy inside
We all get to ride it
We all get to fly

It’s the sun we circle
by Jupiter’s sight
Saturn’s eyes upon us
while Venus we spy
Ozone protects us
and keeps us from harm
while we’re cru cru cru cru cruzin
all around and around and around and around

We’re on a Soul Spaceship
together we fly
We’re on a Soul Spaceship
Together we high

All the earth’s people
go to ride this thing together
All the earth’s people
go to ride this thing forever

We’re on a Soul Spaceship
together we fly
We’re on a soul Spaceship
Together we high
