All our best men are laughed at in this nightmare land.

A Song of Wrong [ You Laughed and Laughed and Laughed ]

In your eyes
My song is one of wrong
Intruding into your heart
And you laughed and
Laughed and laughed.
.
In your heart, you knew
I could be there,
Cause you brought me here.
And you laughed and
Laughed and laughed.
.
In your soul,
You knew I want you
In my home.
'cause you brought me hope.
And you laughed and
Laughed and laughed.
.
You laughed at my wrong
You laughed at my right.
You laughed over
Everything I do.
.
And now, my love I give to you
But you shut your eyes and
Laughed and laughed
And laughed.
.
You laughed at my walk
You laughed at my song.
.
You walked your walk
Into my life of wrong
Knowing all along
You could change me in all.
.
But you shot your heart
To my love
And you walked away from
My heart, and you laughed
And laughed and laughed.

You Laughed and Laughed and Laughed

I told you I was in love,
But you laughed and
Laughed and laughed.
.
I gave you my love,
But you did not give me yours,
Instead you kept mine, and
Gave yours to another.
.
You laughed at my song,
You laughed at my walk,
Then I danced my magic dance
to the rhythm of the talking
drums pleading.
.
But you shot your eyes, and laughed
And laughed and laughed.

Carl Sagan

But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright Brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

Angel In My Nightmare

ANGEL OF DARKNESS

ANGEL IN MY NIGHTMARE

My head won't stop aching
I'm just awakening
Remembering I was dreaming
There was an angel in my nightmare

It was her face I saw last day
I was going my own way
Now I'm gonna pass away
She was the angel of my nightmare

Stop crying, just walk
No more reason to talk
There is nothing in my world
Except the angel of my nightmare

Haunting me, torturing me
Kissing me then killing me
Splitting me into pieces
That's the angel in my nightmare...

(to be continued...)
A.O.D.

Weird Nightmare

Weird nightmare
You haunt my every dream
Weird nightmare
Tell me whats your scheme?
Can it be that youre a part
Of a lonely broken heart?
Weird nightmare
Why must you torment me?
Weird nightmare
Pain and misery
In a heart thats loved and lost
Take away the grief youve caused
Cant sleep at night
Twist, turn in fright
With the fear that Ill live it all again
In my dreams
Youre there to haunt me
When you say she doesnt want me
Ive been hurt
Do you know what that means?
Weird nightmare
Take away this dream youve born
Weird nightmare
Mend a heart thats torn
That has paid the price of love
A thousand fold
Bring me a love
With a heart of gold
Weird nightmare

I couldn't walk down any street in Britain without being laughed at. It was a nightmare. My children were devastated because their dad was a figure of ridicule.

A Mothers Grief

I`m in no where land

so empty, so bland

Worst nightmare I ever had,

its so evil, so very bad.

I`m screaming loud inside,

want to run, want to hide

No sound, no tears complete disbelief,

this is me, a mothers grief.

My baby died, you see,

it means he`ll never be.

It`s still, so still so very cold,

fraining for a cry, your breath, my baby to hold.

My arms they ache, they ache in vain,

desperate to hold you so close again,

Will this nightmare of mine ever end?

this nowhere land, my broken heart mend.

My baby died you see.

it means he`ll never be

No one knows quite what he meant,

a priceless treasure not given but lent..

To The Land

To the land of bribes,
To the land of telephones,
To the land of corruptions,
To the land of trains,
To the land of shops,
To the land of thieves,
To the land of connections,
To the land of drugs,
To the land of trucks,
To the land of cats,
To the land of Banks,
To the land of dogs, To the land of footballers,
To the land of dragons,
To the land of hope,
To the land of ice-cream,
To the land of potatoes,
To the land of chocolates,
To the land of tomatoes,
To the land of apples,
To the land of coffee,
To the land of lights,
To the land of ships,
To the land of birds,
To the land of tigers,
To the land of carpets,
To the land of pillows,
To the land of lions,
TO the land of toys,
To the land of horses,
To the land of beds,
To the land of roses,
To the land of love,
To the land of passion,
To the land of romance;
I never new women do snore until i married one.

Nightmares (Revised, In Line Form, Oh and Viewable)

Chills run up my spine.
Pictures of bodies rising out of the ground.
Its another nightmare.
Its another nightmare.
Its my nightmare.

With word as my weapons.
I cut through the book ages.
With my hollow mind I bear the secrets of the darkest despair.
Suicide on the mined.
I'll save you.
I'll save you.
And still you died.
The picture fades.
But such a gruesome scene screws up the head in ways never seen before.

Still chills run down my spine.
Pictures of bodies rising out of the ground.
Its a nightmare.
Its a nightmare.
Its my nightmare.

The tears run red.
Using leeches to get bled.
Strangers laying in your bed.
A Grievance with the undead.
A broken wedlock with dire consequences.
Memorabilia with a satanic meaning.
Going crazy, getting sick coughing up blood.
The clown with a wicked smile wants to give you a hug.

Chills still run down my spine.
Pictures of bodies rising out of the ground.
Its a nightmare.
Its a nightmare.
Its my nightmare.

Being buried alive.
Darkening skies.
An eclipse of an false sunrise.
Spider creepy crawling out of my eyes.
A bleeding in the brain disguised.
A doctor performing surgery while your awake.
The fears have reappeared.

Chill still run down my spine.
Its a nightmare.
Its a nightmare.
Its my nightmares.
My nightmares

The Nightmare That Set Me Free

There once was a dream I was fooled into thinking was reality

Because in that dream
You and me was something I wanted
But knew could never be

In that dream you stole my heart
And part of my sanity
In that dream my common sense
Unfortunately
Ran away from me

In that dream you captivated me
In that dream I was blinded
And the stars in your eyes
Were the only things I could see

But then that dream morphed into a nightmare
And I saw you for what you really were

I realized in that nightmare
I was nothing but the prey you were trying lure

In that nightmare I realized
This was nothing but a game to you

In that nightmare you had come oh so close to trapping me too

But I tossed and turned until I was freed
And when I opened my eyes from that nightmare
That I foolishly wanted to be you and me
I was the one who learned a lesson

That the sweetest of dreams
Can be nightmares in diguise
And because of that lesson I was set free
Never again to believe all those blinding lies

They All Laughed

The odds were a hundred to one against me
The world thought the heights were too high to climb
But people from missouri never incensed me
Oh, I wasnt a bit concerned
For from histry I had learned
How many, many times the worm had turned
They all laughed at christopher columbus
When he said the world was round
They all laughed when edison recorded sound
They all laughed at wilbur and his brother
When they said that man could fly
They told marconi
Wireless was a phony
Its the same old cry
They laughed at me wanting you
Said I was reaching for the moon
But oh, you came through
Now theyll have to change their tune
They all said we never could be happy
They laughed at us and how!
But ho, ho, ho!
Whos got the last laugh now?
They all laughed at rockefeller center
Now theyre fighting to get in
They all laughed at whitney and his cotton gin
They all laughed at fulton and his steamboat
Hershey and his chocolate bar
Ford and his lizzie
Kept the laughers busy
Thats how people are
They laughed at me wanting you
Said it would be, hello, goodbye.
But oh, you came through
Now theyre eating humble pie
They all said wed never get together
Darling, lets take a bow
For ho, ho, ho!
Whos got the last laugh?
Hee, hee, hee!
Lets at the past laugh
Ha, ha, ha!
Whos got the last laugh now?

Angel of my nitemare

Angel of my nightmare
Come down and stop this pain tonight
Stop the hurt that's deep inside
Stop the me that want to fight
Angel of my nightmare
Are you really there?
Or are you just a figment of my mind
Something deep inside
Angel of my nightmare
Are you a part of me?
Or do you have your own eyes to see
The me in misery
Angel of my nightmare
Please answer my request
Close my eyes forever so I may see
The point in all the misery

Nightmare

A dream can keep you awake
A nightmare can get you scared
Waking up screaming
From a dream you were never meant to dream
A murder that never happened
But you were the witness
To fall forever in the pits of Hell
You know it’s a dream
But you can’t wake up
Your mind is on fire
Your heart is racing
No one can hear you
In the land of the dead
A dream can keep you awake
A nightmare can get you frightened
Waking up screaming
From a dream you were never meant to dream

I Had a Nightmare

Dr. King had a dream that we all would live in
peace with equality. I had a nightmare and in
this nightmare the streets were paved with the
blood of our young. The sky was lit up with the
sparks from the bullets that our youth fired at
one another. Ones whom came from the heritage of
African Kings and Queens are now crack whores and
dope fiends. Also in the nightmare that I had
there were millions of children who did not know
who were their dads? These same children spent
more time on the street corners breaking rules,
than going an educating their minds in school.
They ended up graduating from the streets to jail
or the grave. Yes, it is their blood that now
stains our streets. I wish I was like Dr. King
and had a dream. Instead of this nightmare that
is reality.

One More Red Nightmare

Pan american nightmare
Ten thousand feet fun-fair
Convinved that I dont care
Its safe as houses I swear
I was just sitting musing
The virtues of cruising
When altitude dropping
My ears started popping
One more red nightmare
Sweat beginning to pour down
My neck as I turn round
I heard fortune shouting
Just get off of this outing
A farewell swan song
See you know how turbulence can be
The stewardess made me
One more red nightmare
Reality stirred me
My angel had heard me
The prayer had been answered
A reprieve has been granted
The dream was now broken
Thought rudely awoken
Really safe and sound
Asleep on the greyhound
One more red nightmare

My Land

This is my land
Calm and quiet
This is my land
Come and try it

This is my land
No contradicting
This is my land
Everything living

This is my land
Everything together
This is my land
We sing in good weather

This is my land
Everything's connected
This is my land
Nothing's tethered…
Yet

This is my land
It's getting darker
This is my land
Vanished
Beside us-
Not just me,
Us
If you want my land to change,
Our land has to change first
If we work together
We can bring my land back

Journey Santiago - It's a Life we Live to Love

Journey Santiago
Discover in your search
A land in love with mystery
Its not far out of reach

I know a girl and she says she’s seen it all
She knows a boy who thinks he knows it all
She says she’s the kind of girl who could be it all
She says she knows a boy who thinks he’s fallen for her

In a land in love with mystery
We could be happy and I guess we could be free

He says he wants to know the secret of your eyes
He wants to slip between your thighs girl
But it comes as no surprise that you’re turning away now
When he says

Every dream I have I am kissing you
Every life I’ve lived I’ve been missing you.

And he claims you are his world
He wants to lay down by the fire with you
He claims he can make you happy
In a land in love with mystery.

Journey Santiago
Forever in your search
Seek the love that makes you whole
It’s not far out of reach.

Can’t you see the passion in his eyes?
Can’t you tell he’d sail the skies for you?
And still you’re turning away when he says

Every dream I have is of kissing you
Every life I’ve lived, I’ve been missing you
Still it’s true in a thousand ways
That you paint me blue in a thousand shades
Then leave me wading here
Shaking from the nightmare
Won’t you share a while and listen
Won’t you smile a smile and glisten
Lighten up the day for me
Join me in a love of mystery

She wants to know if you shed a tear for Alice
As she walked in wonderland
For she said that she may never understand you
If you don’t know the wonder of this land

I guess it’s true in a thousand ways
She paints me blue in a thousand shades
And still I’m waiting here
Shaking from the nightmare
I guess it’s true in a thousand ways
Oh how she paints me blue with the words she says
And still I’m waiting here
Shaking from the nightmare

It’s a life we live to love

Nightmare Avenue

Music :matthias jabs
Lyrics:klaus meine, mark hudson
Last night I went to kill
Some time at the famous grill
Where the tall eats the small
There were girls all over me
Thats my insanity
Dont call me ringo, call me paul
Im in heaven, Im in hell
Dont wipe that smile off my face
Cant you tell
I see faces in the weirdest places
Please, wont you take me down
Underneath you spell
Oh, oh Im back at midnight (alright)
I drop my keys, could you get em love
Oh, oh baby I might (he might)
I got the stuff to keep it goin on all night
Take me down nightmare avenue
Goin down nightmare avenue
I wanna take you too
Sharp as a sabres tooth
Back in my favorite booth
Im getting spanked with cold champagne
Id walk on a razor blade
If youre dressed like a french maid
I get my pleasure out of pain
Im in heaven, Im in hell
Dont wipe that smile off my face
Cant you tell
I see faces in the weirdest places
Please, wont you take me down
Underneath you spell
Oh, oh Im back at midnight (alright)
I drop my keys, could you get em love
Oh, oh baby I might (he might)
I got the stuff to keep it goin on all night
Take me down nightmare avenue
Goin down nightmare avenue
Drive me down nightmare avenue
Lay me down on nightmare avenue
Take me down nightmare avenue
Goin down nightmare avenue
Drive me down nightmare avenue
Lay me down on nightmare avenue
And Ive gonna take you too
