Boaz and Jachin Time and time and time and time again Light the fire and strike the tin Boaz and Jachin Night becomes dawn, and then breaks the day Singing their songs, the birds fly away Stone becomes sand, as we're growing old The lead in your hand has turned into gold Always it goes, until it returns You'll never know unless you can learn That we're on a ride and the stakes are so high But you can't get off, cause that's when you die Who are the fathers, and who are the mothers Who are the sisters, and who are the brothers A square and a compass, for geometry 'Cause I'm a Freemason, thirty-third degree We are the mothers and the fathers We are the sons and the daughters You are the everlasting children Of that very first faithful pilgrim

Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know She's got it goin' and I love her so Brown eyes and dark brown hair I want to take her with me everywhere Under the Rose Girl I love you like nobody knows Well the sun is a golden phallus It's just a branch in the mind of Valis And that's a secret that you ought to know But you don't know what you already know Oooh, I need your love Oh girl you know I live for your love Come on girl, you know what I need Oh baby let me plant my seed Broken light shines through the trees I got my love in the summer breeze We are curled by the riverside I got a love I could never hide Well fear's the lock and love is the key Oh girl I need you to stand by me When I'm with you it seems like a dream The foggy recollection of a dream...

The Veil 05:38
Got to live on the edge Got to live in a dream The silver haze is moonlit And we are where we wanted to be I kiss you under the waterfall By the moon's shallow glow We ran across the crystal lake Tearin' up the virgin snow The mist rides in on winds of change Enveloping us alone All I need's your sweet embrace It's every little thing you know The universal Panacea Is right in front of you That's what happens when you die You become a star in the sky

I wanna be the new sensation To bring to you by innovation Another order of good vibrations I wanna be the new sensation Oh, the time, where has it gone Oh I feel so old and my spirit lingers on Oh the day is wasted as the minutes fade away I don't know what to do and I can't think of what to say Oh, the sun, is very nearly gone And my breath is so cold and my shadow is so long And I wonder why there're all these questions left unknown And I patiently await all those mysteries to come Oh, my mind, is ever on the brink And I feel the earth as if I'm starting to sink And I fear that the end is much closer than we think So I'll write it down with my everlasting ink
5.
Clovers 05:26
Last night I dreamt I dreamt of a shadow Of a shadow Fade into black Never coming back Oh my lord what could it be The eternal mystery Underneath the ground Beneath a bed of clovers A bed of clovers Mist on the sea Fade from my view Look where you stand Beyond the threshold Beyond the threshold Here is my soul Fade into the void
6.
Cartwheel 05:08
I was walking around With my head in the ground Until I heard a big sound But there was no one around So I made a reaction And you can hear what I found Nothing's certain but change Nothing stays the same I was way out of range Everything was so strange All a sudden it rained Swirling down the drain And I think it's a shame To feel every bit of your pain I was walking away I thought I heard someone say You gotta pick up the pieces You gotta live day by day You gotta do what I say You gotta make time to play

You were sleeping in the garden To awaken with a startle Find yourself lost deep in forest At a party dark and sordid Devil greets you: "pleased to meet you, How'd you like some fruit of Eden?" I would like that very much I would like that very much You will find the horned god Pan Standing in the pentagram At the bloody witches' sabbath Kill the blind god Yaldabaoth Silver star shall bless your planet With the gift of evolution Wouldn't you like that very much Wouldn't you like that very much As I eat this pomegranate All the juice runs down my fingers As I eat this pomegranate All the juice it stains on my clothes Masks are hiding faceless patrons Don the axe and don the apron Join the feast of all your senses Tear down all your walls and fences Build a statue ten feet tall Then burn it down to cinders small Wouldn't you like that very much Wouldn't you like that very much In the garden you awoke To find it was all but a joke But pomegranate you were eating Vague impressions dark and fleeting Was it all just fantasy Or was the dream a memory I would like that very much I would like that very much
8.
I'm walkin' around A prehistoric age Fungus on the ground That I just ate I see my singin' like some liquid language lyre If you would come with my our love could take us higher My brothers and me Are walkin' down the trail We're lookin' to find The holy grail I'm lookin' at you I see you look at me One and one make two Two and one make three
9.
No Tomorrow 04:19
I was told you can't go very far at all That's because your mind is all you'll ever see If you know this you can go so very far So come with me and fantasy will set you free Oh, the pain Oh, the sorrow So much pain No tomorrow If I live to see the day Come and take me away If I live to see tomorrow Come and take away all of my sorrow
10.
I found out Without the shadow of a doubt That this world of ours Is a sick and evil place And that everything's a waste And we're headed face to face With our self-projected Super ego-spheres And this world is a mirror In its beauty and its power And then suddenly it's clearer In this interview turned sour That I can see the light that's shining through I can see the light that's shining through I got to see That the world's my enemy Just consuming endless Materiality And that everything is fake And what you see is what you take You don't consume it No, it consumes you We've been beaten and reduced Without a treaty or a truce And the war is in your mind 'Cause it is nowhere you can find And there's never enough time And it's weighing on my mind And this world is just a trick Cause it is gone with just a flick
11.
Last night I was strolling along I was going to The Bohemian Grove The Bohemian Grove Is where I found my love I found my love at the Bohemian Grove What else Can I do? But keep on Loving you In the day and in the night I've got to keep you in my sight Oh girl, I love you I think only of you Standing beneath that Moloch statue
12.
Dog Days 03:30
Well it's hot in the summer And some aliens Drop by in the middle Of the long dark sweaty night And there's no one there in sight Except the silver star in the sky 'Cause it's Dog days Dog days Dog, dog, dog days Well you're flying high Way up in the sky But you don't know where They're taking you tonight 'Cause All you see is light Just the silvers star in the sky It's time to get Sirius Well they're telling you All the secrets of The universe But you don't understand a word It's in some language you've never heard Of the silver whirly bird Well it seemed like a dream But you're back in the dome And it's the same old place Except that you're in ancient Rome And you can't find your way home 'Cept for the silver star in the sky
13.
Eros and thanatos Trippin' through time like an ancient ghost The turning of the wheel The start of the ordeal Tell me is this real And tell me How do you feel? I just want to touch the music And I just want to feel the sun And everyone is disillusioned 'Cause they don't seem to act as one And so it goes on When I seem to get that feeling Take me down that rabbit hole Show me your eternal bliss The well that gushes forth Your love is death's embrace Love and death were born together For to the end all things are tethered Fear not the end my dear friends For ends are all just new beginnings The intertwining vines

about

Basement Baby Seattle, Washington

It's time for breakfast! But this morning don't listen to your eggs. Crack into the unquiet delights of Basement Baby. You will be aroused, feel your nerves heightening; your arms like floppy pudding--but hold on for the ride.
Featuring bass, guitar, drums and keys, this group from the rainy runoff of Seattle streets has raised a child all their own, a rude child who will defy all expectations.
