If I could I would erase
The day I met the spiders-she
Im in too deep im in too hard
She made a feast of me
Life-expectancy is a joke to me
For whatever I do all I want is
Sweet Angie
I can see the point and know
You’re right I don’t agree
But when I picture women
All I see is sweet Angie
Life-expectancy is a joke to me
A fly who want to live,
Should avoid the spider-she
Angie would you wait for me
Angie I can’t fathom what you see
Angie
Pay your dues or go to hell
Throw them down the wishing well
The spiders are what spiders do
Do you know what I mean?
I think you know what I mean?
But do you know what I mean?
I think you know what I mean?
But do you know what I mean???
Angie would you wait for me
Angie I can’t fathom what you see
Angie

Uh yeah can you hear them talk
Very loud how they are killing my good mood
Talk of blizzards and the freak wave
And the hurricane
Talk about that toxic rain
Uh yeah the hour is late
Give me shelter wherever you see fit
I’ve got to get off the street you see
For those who will remain
Is gonna drown from toxic rain
Just take me to your Penitentiary
Im willing to go anywhere with thee
Drugs won’t work although you overdose
The time you burn runs faster than you know
Uh yeah can you hear them talk
Very loud how they are killing my good mood
Talk of blizzards and the freak wave
Another the hurricane
What about that toxic rain
And if I ever make it out alive
I will be pledging my allegiance to the man
But if the cow jumps over the moon
Then could you spare me the pain
Of being drowned in toxic rain
Then take me to your Penitentiary
Im willing to go anywhere with thee
Drugs won’t work although you overdose
The time you burn runs faster than you know
The truth will be heard, when those who bite their tongue
Come clean with themselves and tag along
It’s coming down hard, you’re prayer are in vain
For the name of the game explained is toxic rain

Sovereign, sovereign
Choke me with the choke-chain
Sovereign, Sovereign
Choke me with the choke-chain
I know I can’t escape, Sovereign
Sovereign, Sovereign
Let me feel the steel-cane
Sovereign, Sovereign
Hit me with the steel-cane
And if I don’t obey thou lady fair
I Know that there will be murder in the air
And so I smile
And so I get by
But know, I know the score
My will is not my own anymore

A Wall of Rain

Behold the beacon shines ahead
To guide the shipwrecks forth instead
of sinking into nothingness and dread
So this is what I thought would be
equivalent to infinity
But all it really is, is borrowed time
A wall of rain is rising up ahead
A wall of rain will wash away the dirt
There is a wall of rain across the world
They killed God, my daddy’s is gone
Shipwrecks burning up at dawn
Drag them all across a treacherous sea
And I know that its getting close
I’ve heard it said, and I suppose
A safety-net is nothing but borrowed time
A wall of rain is rising up ahead
A wall of rain will wash away the dirt
A wall of rain will separate the herd
A wall rain is rising from within
There is a wall of rain closing in

Little apple fell, far from the tree
Fell far from the trunk, as far as can be
Got the monkey high on speed
And there is gonna be an accident indeed
I think you ought to play it fair.
I Know you dont care
Talk too much to be true
I despise you
All you say is a means
To an end unforeseen
All you ever do
A seedy plan
To hide the fact you are a tiny man
So apple fall, fall from the tree
Roll on down to the big city
Apple is different from before
Poor rotten apple, rotten to the core
And the monkey is so distressed
And now the whole damn kitchen is a mess
I think you ought to play it fair.
I Know you dont care
Talk too much to be true
I despise you
All you say is a means
To an end unforeseen
You can run like hell
Just understand
I know that, you are a guilty man

Surely never quite so alive
Satisfied and sleep-deprived
Time is ticking, the clock are running late
The world is pretty, im no longer afraid
Of people pushing themselves into a pulp
Try to forget that they can’t cope
With the terror of the ticking time
The time that slipping, is the time which is mine
I found out today
Im damaged im in dismay
Never coming back again
Watch your days going down the drain
You should know
The mascara mandrill
And the bipolar baboon
They are my special friends
With whom I spend the afternoon
I found out today
Im damaged im in dismay
Never coming back again
Watch your days going down the drain
You should know

And he will make the crippled walk like giants
He will teach the blind man to see
He reveal the villains and the demons
And make the fire walk across the sea
Oh set it up
And all the world unfolds
Behold a vast explosion
Of all you can build but not control
And he will let laughter roll through cities
Populated by the hanging heads
Take the pain out of the junkies
And let them be strung-out on love instead
Oh set it up
And all the world unfolds
Behold a vast explosion
Of all you can build but not control

Tamar is a good friend of mine and this is her band "Steempi Weiss". Tamar made this album years ago, as a lament for her dead dog. I think it is beautiful and mysterious. Tamar is a true musician!
