1. schizoid & guntrip
music: J. Wright (BMI), lyrics: H. Tarnecky (ASCAP)
blistering sun for days i’ve run
hiding myself from you… hiding myself from you
bleeding
concealing
pleading
leave me alone… get your own
scissor cut mental home
pre-lingual safety zone
mad childhood ego state
step back don’t touch me… let go!
i’m anticipating… over undulating… today
me not me what do you see… hiding in a bush … behind that tree
if you knew what i’ve been through… you’d be hiding with me too
heal me
completely
know me
you’re so close to where i am
guntrip you’re the man
the doctor understand
oh guntrip you’re the man
i put my fear in your… hands
2. in the movie of you
music: J. Wright/B. Tobias (BMI), lyrics: H. Tarnecky (ASCAP)
Take 1… action!
The light is just right, the shadows are in
Your movement is sultry get closer, your love is for him
There’s glare upon your pale face, just raise your chin
The part is full surrender, let the story begin
Honesty… you give, receive,
Always be you
Let your eyes be windows, through the crowd crescendo
In the moment let go
Can you feel them watching you
Just forget they’re watching you
You are what you are… you’re a celluloid star,
If your fame takes you far, more than beauty you are
interlude
The clock is turning backward in the movie of you
The scenes are growing awkward… is it possibly true
You lost your self for fear of falling… from the stardom you knew
They sold your sex, your face, your body… and you couldn’t refuse
Your name in lights won’t last forever
But you lust to be news
And when the audience cheered “how clever!”
Then your fantasy grew
Ha hey… shouldn’t we kiss?
Sa say… dramatics
Succumb to beg, steal or borrow
Get your studio picture to play
In a false life of fakeness to follow
Where oblivion blows you away
Don’t cry… (cut... cut),
Your eyes…call makeup!
Win praise for skill and ambition
The remarkable faces you make
Shoot thru your depression conditions
Miss Fanatical please take the stage
No… no… no!
I saw you change from dreamer to heartache - bad publicity blues
The camera keeps rolling darling… in the movie of you
Vivling hear me now
I don’t want to lose you to someone else somehow
I don’t want to share you on the silver screen
Honesty… you give, receive
Always be you
Let your eyes be windows through the crowd crescendo
In this moment let go
Can you feel me watching you
Don’t forget I’m watching you
3. devotee
music & lyrics: H. Tarnecky (ASCAP)
and your runs…cross the sea… of delusion… devotee
like a bird… like a bird… you must fly
i’m not gonna tell you what to do… you can always have my heart
i’m not gonna tell ya devotee… cause you’ve had it from the start
i’m not gonna tell you what to do… i’m not gonna tell you what to say
i’m not gonna tell you how to live your life… ya gotta live it your own way
when your eyes… change their view… devotee I’m with you
on and on… turn me on…on and on
and i know… it seems hard… seeking light… in the dark
but my word… is the word… you will see
i’m not gonna tell you what to do… i’m not gonna tell you what to be
i’m not gonna tell ya how to live your life… ya gotta live it any way
so live it up… or live it down
and I know…that it’s true… it can happen to you
one day now… you’re asleep… then awake
and the odds… are so few… that it’s not up to you
you need help… call for help… from above!
i’m not gonna tell you what to do… you can always have my heart
i’m not gonna tell ya devotee… cause you’ve had it from the start
i’m not gonna tell you what to do… i’m not gonna tell you what to say
i’m not gonna tell you how to live your life… you gotta live it your own way!
so live it up… or live it down
okay… go ahead… live it up
sure go ahead… live it down…………live it up!!!
faith will take your hand… lead you cross the sea…devotee
4. ambiance for the active mind
music: J. Wright, lyrics: H. Tarnecky (ASCAP)
ambiance for the active mind
subconscious in tune with mine
ambiance for the active mind
subconscious in tune with mine
save yourself
it’s not impossible to break out
there’s no more time for contemplating
save your self
ambiance for the active mind
subconscious in tune with mine
ambiance for the active mind
subconscious in tune with mine
5. fantastic dreamer
music: B. Tobias (BMI), lyrics: H. Tarnecky (ASCAP)
oh fantastic dreamer
show… me what is really inside this third eye
the light that glimmers
glows… like a far distant star in the night
dualistic beamer…
knows… no one ever escapes here alive
try to ascend among the mice and men
conflicted nations… donkeys and elephants
oh fantastic dreamer
show… me what it takes to awake and survive
invoke all your strength and come back to me
the future’s uncertain… it will always be
no……………! do not deceive
cause the karma you make is your enemy
pure love has a cleansing effect on the self… but your say you have so much to do
like… rise and shine in the nick of time…check your face and your state of mind
scurry about then out the door… take your place in the big what for
tell yourself behind the wheel… on your way to cement the deal
you love the money…. and what it do… ooh… for you
buy a big house and a fancy car… all the underpinnings a celebrity star
take a little lady any day if you could
paid a pretty penny boy she better be good
you love the honey… and what she do… ooh… to you
take a break… slow the breath…. sit now still boy you need a rest
ask yourself if you’re in denial… who the master… who the child
everybody plays with the evil ways and depending on the karma of the good old days
there’s a struggle with the subtle but if you don’t mind
you can inch away above it’s a matter of time
you dream what in me… not what i do
ah… but it’s for you… hey hey
when light is beaming… this scenery… who’s beaming me?
mother will you love me… always and again
was no surprise… she rolled her eyes
and probably new what I would do when I was through
father can you help me… now and at the end
he took one look and closed the book!
6. Releasing
music: J. Wright (BMI), lyrics: H. Tarnecky (ASCAP)
words to live by… have i none
soul to wander … am i one
releasing because i see… infinite sorrow
believing is not for me
change is the main thing
indecision…with loaded gun
tears from under… down they come
appearing to alter deep… my inhibitions
revealing the worst of me… dark exhibition
maybe someday… grace will come
unforgiveable… and restless i run
releasing the heart of me… i can not love
tossed and tread upon… caught under the wheels
how can anyone… know how i feel
no intrusions... turn down the lights
god confusion… give up the fight… fight… fight!
bed of red roses… be of comfort to me
come tomorrow… i’ll be gone
come tomorrow soon… my will be done
indestructible consciousness… make the final appeal
in this hour... take me home
unlock the seventh seal… thru which i must go
releasing uncertainty… i wanted you to know…oh…oh!
7. fading in the rain
music & lyrics: H. Tarnecky (ASCAP)
isn’t every day
a moving day… a moving way… through the rains of pain
and isn’t all the world
a crazy world
a crazy way… to the grace of love… we’re coming to
yes I’m coming to… baby me and you…in the rain one time
i’m coming to
baby me and you
in the rain one time… in the fading rain with you
baby i’m fading in the rain
baby i’m fading in the rain
somebody’s fading in the rain… baby I’m fading!
isn’t every love
the having of… a lovely phase… in the way you’re living
and isn’t all the pain
a fading rain… a fading look… at the way times… trying you
don’t stop defiant… follow your heart as you seek
though colored vibrant… this place is not what you think
isn’t everyday
a moving day… a moving way… through the rains of pain
and isn’t all the pain
a fading rain… a fading look… at the way times… trying you
baby i’m fading in the rain
baby I’m fading in the rain
somebody’s fading in the rain… baby I’m fading!
baby I’m fading
baby I’m fading
somebody’s fading in the rain… one time!
8. upon further review
music: J. Wright (BMI), lyrics: H. Tarnecky (ASCAP)
this is a chance this is a way so lovely
get rid of the past and such
this is a way to live on the earth untouched
to stop wanting her over and over so much
upon further review i’m out of luck
upon further review of it because
upon futher review i think i’m stuck… again
my friends… ha ha!
can’t stop where you are
no matter how hard… it gets!
look at your hands look at your face its showing
the fight in the world is tough
it’s time to unwind in the mind… that’s enough
upon further review i’m out of luck
upon further review of it because
upon futher review i think it’s love . you send
my friends
suppose it’s an oddity
your eyes looking over me
say yea
this is not the end
9. vision
music: G. Arpino (BMI), lyrics: H. Tarnecky (ASCAP)
See … when you fall asleep deep inside a looking glass
and if you have a vision and it takes you far
on a silent moonbeam to a shooting star
When the morning comes and you return
share the things you learn when you have gone…
through the door
Be… all that you can be for how long will this wonder last
Teach… all that you can reach, so much is misunderstood
We were once just children with a heart so young
and our thoughts were simple, let the spirit run
Now the world has changed… those days are gone
but you can still believe and go beyond… through the door
(2:09 instrumental)
Colors floating all around me
though converting I’m the same
Gone the bones and flesh that bound me
I’m receding from the game
(4:11 instrumental)
See me, do you?
See deeply thru you
I… I am coming to you... to you
(5:47 instrumental)
Hey… hey, come what may
Hey… I have a thesis -we’re nothing but pieces
in a puzzle that’s made
Hey… when matter releases and craving here ceases
you won’t need a name
Hey… over here
hey… velocity eases…
when panic decreases
no hurry to wait
You may want to know… where did I go…
Is it cold… am I alone?
You can talk to me… through telepathy … unconventional self
Know your tendencies… love your enemies… look inside you can tell
Your reality... is duality… I do wish you do well… as you may
You can follow me … thru this odyssey… unconventional self
Know your tendencies… love your enemies… only time here will tell
If you come with me… in love secrecy… bid the world a farewell
Your reality... is duality… I do wish you do well… and you may
(10:30 instrumental)
See… deep inside your dreams and one day you’ll be living them
If you have a vision and it takes you far,
can you take me with you through the door beyond?
When the journey ends and we dissolve
Who remembers then to carry on?
There’s a photograph when we were young
You were laughing and my eyes were closed...
(Fading Outro)
