ALPHA
this is Blackmail
we speak no evil
HA HA HA HA
let us begin...
A SUNNY DAY
as i walked my snake
by the shores of the lake
he said to me
"let's drink herbal tea"
"and fly up to the moon"
"before it reaches noon"
so we started on our trip
and the herbal tea we began to sip
higher, higher faster and free
we went through the mountains
and under the sea
we passed a real man who held a stick
we didn't ask his name
we were moving too quick
but i remember his face
i remember it now
even in space
A MOMENT OF CONFUSION
i'm confused
but remember
its only for a moment
BLACKMAIL
if you know something and you're the only one
or you have pictures of something someone's done
let me tell you something that's a lot of fun
blackmail
blackmail
if you know a man who's cheated on his wife
or for some reason you want to ruin his life
don't beat him with a stick or stab him with a knife
blackmail
blackmail
blackmail
blackmail is a dangerous game to play
you can do it on any rainy or sunny day
but if you get caught you'll be sent away
blackmail
blackmail
blackmail
BEST FRIEND
i'm gonna beat your wife with a baseball bat
i'll hide the body you won't know where she's at
gonna kill your mom with a meat cleaver
after she's dead i'll watch leave it to beaver
gonna kill your daughter with a switch blade knife
i'll stick it right in and steal her life
i'm your best friend
i'm gonna kill your brother with a chain saw
after he's dead i'm gonna kill your pa
i'm gonna kill your dad with a razor blade
after i'm done i'll rest in the shade
i would kill your grandma but she's all ready dead
all of this killing has gone to my head

THE RYE 'N' NOSH CAFE
say do you remember that cafe
way out west
reasons unknown
we thought it was best
we always had the words to rhyme
what silly silly
waste of time
memories flown
we said good-bye
remembering men must never cry
but tears fill my pillow every night
summer of madness
it seemed so right
whatever happened to the rye 'n' nosh
slept all night on its stairs
counted the stars
and forgot my cares
chased myself back into town
but i still remember
that angel in her red red gown
memories flown
we said good-bye
remembering men must never cry
but tears fill my pillow every night
summer of madness
it seemed so right
whatever happened to the rye 'n' nosh
heard from a friend about its past
always told me
it wouldn't last
but i still try to pretend
that those nights
they would never end
memories flown
we said good-bye
remembering men must never cry
but tears fill my pillow every night
summer of madness
it seemed so right
whatever happened to the rye 'n' nosh
down memory lane we stroll
a better way
he'd been told
he gave into pressure
he took the gold
i tried to go back
but the rye 'n' nosh had been sold
it had been sold
MAKE IT THROUGH TONIGHT
black moon rising high in the sky
one last whisper its just another lie
you said you wouldn't leave me again
but that's not the rumor blowing in the wind
if i can make it through tonight
i think i'll be alright
if i sleep at night
then i'll know it wasn't right
but first i gotta make it
make it through tonight
you're not the person i thought i could trust
all your needs became my must
i lost my soul and i lost my heart
now in your life i've lost my part
if i can make it through tonight
i think i'll be alright
if i sleep at night
then i'll know it wasn't right
but first i gotta make it
make it through tonight
ANOTHER MOMENT OF CONFUSION
now i'm confused
yes
but only for a moment
LIFE IS LIKE A PHOTOGRAPH
white mice black men
terrorists wanting money again
look over watch back
want my groceries in a plastic sack
wooden tables paper smiles
FBI searching through their files
fall down get up
put up or shut up
communist in the backyard
better keep on your guard
don't cry don't laugh
life is like a photograph
darwin's biological finds
playing with all of our minds
say we came from a monkey
major tom is still a junky
hiding in a back street
making sure your hair's neat
put on a white shirt
fall down in the dirt
no time no cares
walk up a flight of stairs
don't you think we should laugh
life is like a photograph
BLACK THURSDAY
another day
another fight
some other way
no need to ask
no more lies
not another paper mask
i have better things to do on a black thursday
i said love
what did you say
i stood alone
and you walked away
lying through your smile
laughing all the while
well i have better people to see on my black thursday
OMEGA
this has been Blackmail
have
have
have
have
a sunny day
