Everysong 04:57
Everysong by Derek Campbell She had wild eyes and her hair was long And it comes as no surprise that her stare was strong She had a cute little laugh in the evil way And if she thought you might last then there'd be hell to pay She was a thousand years older than her body felt And she played her cards bolder than the hand she was dealt It took her no time to unwind yer mind and if you tried to see her nature she might strike ya blind She had a sweet little doggie that could eat your soul she was forged in the furnaces of rock 'n' roll It took God six days to create the world but he's still trying to get over just one wild and crazy girl Theres no need to panic She won't do you wrong no When you think you can't stand it she will make you strong oh She's from another planet and she wont stay here long no, so You cant take her for granted she's the girl from every song, oh I know, she's so... Uh! Now she was just a child when she hit the road she would drive them all wild with the stories she told About a better place and a better time And with her pretty face and a bitter rhyme She would cast a spell that kept em all hypnotized while she drew out their souls from the depths of their eyes She would paint a pretty picture from the magical elixir that resulted from the mixture of the recipe that fixed ya In a Jesus pose on the mountain top You better come up with the SafeWord or the shit will never stop Cause she's little queenie, she's a little meany and the world she's dreaming is the one we're living in so hear me. Theres no need to panic She won't do you wrong no When you think you can't stand it she will make you strong oh She's from another planet and she wont stay here long no, so You cant take her for granted she's the girl from every song, oh I know, she's so... Uh!

Bonestacker 06:49
Bonestacker by Derek Campbell She's got eyes like a leopard staring dead into the void beyond the center of the universe She's got thighs like the blessing a lesson from the jester combusting incandescent junipers You might not think when you meet her she likes to kiss all the boys and make them cry You might not know what to see her but when she stacked the bones she stacks them 5 miles high She's got a face that would throw the navigation of the seventh incarnation of the deliverer She's got a vase and she'll pluck you like a flower draining all the nectar you might want to give to her You might not think when you meet her she likes to kiss all the boys and make them cry You might not know what to see her but when she stacked the bones she stacks them 5 miles high

Sweet Demon 03:29
Sweet Demon By Derek Campbell There’s thing that I could tell you you wouldn’t want to know And just because you heard it from me that don’t make it so So tell me who will you believe me or your lying eyes You tell me that you want to leave so don’t act so surprised Oh sweet demon just when I think I’m doing well You show up and drag me back to hell There’s things that I could tell you you wouldn’t understand Like, just ‘cause I’m good at taking off don’t mean that I can land But sometimes this mean gravity makes me seek the friendly skies and as you know, farewell, to me, doesn’t always mean goodbye Oh sweet demon just when I think I’m doing well You show up and drag me back to hell There’s things that I could show you you wouldn’t want to see And just because I know you that don’t make it free But if you got it on you there’s nothing you can’t buy But let me try to warn you It ain’t always such a prize Oh sweet demon just when I think I’m doing well You show up and drag me back to hell

We Come In Peace By Derek Campbell Union Army Soldier: Ridin’ across the prairie, to the Great Divide We’re the Union Army, We got Jesus on our side, we got Jesus on our side The Lord gave us this country, delivered us the Promised Land We brought our wives and families In a covered wagon caravan, in a covered wagon caravan There’s but one thing stands between myself and fields of gold That’s these wild and savage men whose scalps I’ve bought and sold Whose scalps I’ve bought and sold I tell ya boy them things’ good as gold! All-Day-e-yodalaheyodalaheyodalahehoo... Native War Chief: On this Mother Earth, where we, Mankind Have made our home since the edge of time We The One People have kept her satisfied Now you come here and you want a piece But If you’re askin’ me, baby, that sounds like feedin’ the beast So if you know what’s good for you just keep on passin’ through Union Army Soldier: Through inclement weather, through the dark of night We will fight the savage With orders just to shoot on site, with orders just to shoot on site We’ll sneak into his village; we’ll burn his crops and corn We’ll meet on fields of battle, Lord, Bow and arrow versus cannon and gun, bow and arrow versus cannon and gun We ride ‘pon the break of dawn with cannon gun and song And we pray to God above that he may make us strong Dear Lord, help us send them Natives to the place where they belong Native War Chief: On our sweet Mother Earth Great Spirit Provide Buffalo to hunt and the horse to ride My woman knows this warrior keep’s her satisfied If you wanna get fucked up just keep comin’ at me We’ve beat back the Ojibwa, the Dakota and even the Cree If you’re lookin’ for trouble, baby, oh, it’s what you’re ‘bout to see Union Army Soldier: See across the valley where the smoke does rise? That injun war party is so close now I can see ‘em with my own two eyes, I can see ‘em with my own two eyes Jesus guide my riffle, aim her straight and true If this day will just go my way oh Lord I’ll take me a scalp or two, I’ll take me a scalp or two Oh but what in yonder skies does draw my gaze aloft? Lights that shine so bright but make my heart feel soft Tell me now feller where you get off! Yodalayhehoo… !!!!BOOM!!!! Union Army Soldier: I can’t seem to move… but it kinda feels O.K. I like your groove… so who are you anyway? Aliens: We come in peace, you don’t have to be afraid We bring you peace, now it’s time to celebrate We come in peace, you don’t have to be afraid We bring you peace, now it’s time to celebrate We have no weapons, we have no anger We only come with the gift of peace, la la la la la la All we have is love and understanding And if you’re having trouble moving, just feel the beat Just feel the beat, just feel the beat, just feel the beat, la la la la la la la Union Army Soldier: I feel the beat, I feel the beat, I feel the beat…. Deaf Old Man: I’m just a deaf old man and I don’t understand Just what’s been going on lately with everyone Oh since that space ship came they’ve all acted so strange They’ve been singing songs and making love and having fun all day And they’ve forgotten about the war. Isn’t that what we came here for? YEAHHHH! Come on all you geezers, Christian and Indian too If you can’t hear you got nothing to fear The sound ain’t gonna get to you, and now we got some work to do If we band together we can take ‘em down United, I know, we can take down this foe Then WE can go another round, WE can go another round Cause that’s the way the world goes round, the way the world goes round LET’S GET ‘EM BOYS!!!!

about

An odd but coherent collection of visions, journeys, mirages and other hallucinations complete with rock and roll fantasy dream girl, fem-fatal, a touch of the melancholia, a Beatles classic, and finally that old chestnut about Cowboys and Indians...
and Extraterrestrials...
What a stimulating way to dance into the end days...
but wait...
the world won't end before I drop my next joint... Revelation II.
I Promise.
