hi there
my name's midas
i'm in business
i'm in fast food

but in a short time

i'll look down
on faithful subjects
my counter-people
my mother named me midas
yeah she should be so bold
hip hip hooray for midas
yeah what i touch is gold
hi there
my name's midas
we feed the masses
them hungry people
we got the cattle
we got the taters
we got the u.s.
we got it locked down
but in the wee hours
behind the fryers
once faithful subjects
conspire against me
my mother named me midas
yeah she should be so bold
hip hip hooray for midas
yeah what i touch is gold
hip hooray for midas

The Ghost Ball
03:48
|

i can hear them
growing louder - an orchestra just down the hall
moving swiftly through double doors i'm ushered in
to a vast room of blue
i can see them
a hall full of dancers in mid swoon
two by two they were lost in ethereal grace
as the rhythms waltzed them round and round
and their faces
all a blur when then all of a sudden
caught her eye and i knew - it was granny
she was younger, she was younger than me
something's out there
and it's you, baby
the ghost ball
the ghost ball
i'm just passing through
i'm just passing through you

White Hot Intensity

are you passionate about anything?
are you passionate about everything?
because your eyes burn with white hot intensity
all of the time
time for action without questioning
time for action without questioning
because your eyes burn with white hot intensity
all of the time

Pie

|

this is called pie
cherry and apple
sitting pretty on the window sill
it warms my fingers
had to spit it out
too hot for my teeth
too sweet for my teeth
too hot for my teeth
peaches and apples
peaches and apples
sitting pretty on the window sill
it warms my fingers
had to spit it out
too hot for my teeth
too sweet for my teeth
too hot for my teeth
patience
just wait
in time it will cool down
and when it's cool
it won't grow cold
i'll keep it warm
you like it warm
we like it warm

Cash
04:05
|
|||
dead
as leaves upon the grass
dirty
the money-changing hands
swirling
like liquid down the drain
cash
ask who will sell
once sold
the soul escapes
i am redeemed in sea of green
and so soon this carries no weight
let us believe the greatest of lies
the greatest of lies

games
bright shiny red
don't write a check

it's christmas eve
everyday

Sunnyside

got my sure fire remedy, kielbasa and scrambled eggs
now my head ain't so soggy as i hit the avenue
and it was early it was cold out, so i took the sunny side
would you hold it against me if i slept in the park tonight
no it really is lovely, the sparrows awake you
and this just feels like something that i need todo now
now? now? Now? NOW?
all i got is now, baby
all i got is right now
i'm a legend, love
on top of that i'm living
life's a major motion picture
starring me
i'm delusional
i hope i can be saved

Get To Hide

you will look
you won't find me
i get to hide in my skin
you will look
you won't find me
i get to hide in my skin
everyday
i get to hide
in my skin
everyday
trips euphoric
ever-changing happenstance
repeat
trips euphoric
ever-changing happenstance
ok
no thing ties me
stay in bed and pull the covers up
again
lie awake here
all i need is some encouragement
come on, man
get real

Weeds
03:29
|
|||
we plant the seed put down the poison
to stunt the growth inside the ground
they're stretching out into the garden
to strangle life before it's found
the seeds of weeds procrastination
take root in simple fascination
with anything - but the very thing
it's a wonder we ever finish anything
to be free of what tangles me
i want to be free of what tangles me

Underpup New York, New York
Terry brings the melodic, Maureen brings the droning tone and Dave brings the ever-busy
rhythms.
First impressions have led people to ask, ‘what brings these 3 very different individuals together?’
They have one thing in common - a firm belief that rock and roll should be scrappy and a little untidy.
