Camouflage
Camouflage is all the rage.
Ladies in their fight with age-
Soldiers in their fight with foes-
Demagogues who mask and pose
In the guise of statesmen-girls
Black of eyes with golden curls-
Politicians, votes in mind,
Smiling, affable and kind,
All use camouflage to-day.
As you go upon your way,
Walk with caution, move with care;
Camouflage is everywhere!

Camouflage
(stewart / savigar / omartian)
She came to the party
In a leather number wrapped in chains
Investigation found
She was very fond of dropping names
So I signed her book
And drove her to her home
And she looked so hot
Started to come on strong
Then she said so candidly
As I was gettin down on my knees
i dont really mean to tease
But Im shy, shy, shy, shy, shy
Camouflage
Thats nothin but camouflage
He was totally handsome
With a winning personality
Natural born leader
With connections in society
But late at night
Alone with just his wealth
He would stare in the mirror
And never see himself
He had a cadillac thirty foot long
He had a hit with every song
Sounded like somethings wrong
Why, why, why, why, why
Camouflage
It aint nothin but camouflage
Camouflage
Aint nothing but, nothin but
Nothin but camouflage
They were so well suited
With an ambience you cant ignore
But nobody realized
What went on behind closed doors
He had many affairs
But never felt fulfilled
She would hide her sadness
In alcohol and pills
She bottled everything up inside
He was too busy with his best friends wife
They couldnt look each other in the eyes
Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies
Camouflage
Just camouflage
Everywhere you go its called camouflage
Some people hide behind camouflage
C-a-m-o-u-f-l-a-g-e
I signed her book, drove her to her home
But I didnt know what was goin on
He had a cadillac thirty foot long
Had hits with every song
He had many affairs but never felt fulfilled
She was hidin herself in some little purple pills
Why, why, why, why
Shy, shy, shy, shy
Lies, lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies, lies
Camouflage, camouflage
Talkin bout camouflage
Camouflage, bring it down
Sometimes I worry about you darlin
You wear too much mascara
Too much eyeliner
Too much rouge, and it worries me
Camouflage, camouflage
Camouflage, talkin bout camouflage

Two Points on the Line of a Commercial Passage
Before the internet when television was a trinity
It was ok to hunt in work clothes
There was no prescribed uniform
Today the powers tell us
Camouflage is the order of the day
Camouflage the thing which we must buy and have.

Camouflage
Justice comes into your life and then youll know
Youll know
Justice comes justice let it come
I get the justice coming for you and i
I get the joy joy when it comes my joy I get the joy
When justice comes to everyone
Why does a willow weep when all I sees a tree go
All in camouflage everyone I know
We walk along like sequel youre a cameo
Youve got your joy
So find the people of your own
Ill take in anyone whos taking off their camouflage
Go on check it
Ill take in anyone whos messing up the sabotage
To yourself dont destroy
Ill take in anyone whos taking off their camouflage
Gimmie the ball gimmie it all big orange ball
Roll up over fields
I shame the devil cause I throw it down so hard
I rock the big line I rock the back yard
Be a dream in color even on a winters night
Thinking george seurat afternoon bathed in light
Get your joy no matter who says its right
Their covers blown
Find the story of your own
Check it
Ill take in anyone whos taking off their camouflage
Go on check it
Ill take in anyone whos messing up the sabotage
To yourself dont destroy
Ill take in anyone whos taking off their camouflage
Ok ok ok
In the geometry of prism of my of my eye will flow
I ask the questions and wonder why
Only to roll in a big arrange ball that floats in a summer sky
Secret words never to be printed
Take it up from the underground proactive and soul
Play a vital roll thats what you are
Check it
Ill take in anyone whos taking off their camouflage
Go on check it
Ill take in anyone whos messing up the sabotage
To yourself dont destroy
Ill take in anyone whos taking off their camouflage

Miss Praying Mantis
Miss Mantis! camouflaged stand still as you pray.
But many understand you are waiting for prey
Some other can't know so come closer to you
You promptly speed up on your mission to pursue.
To eat the prey alive, is your first choice and lust
if prey would resist, you will eat its head first,
Exclusive predator dependent on meat of prey
chew like chocolate moving the jaws sideway.
Your wisdom never ends here, you fly in nights.
To seem larger and threatening, fan wings wide.
Detect the sounds produced by approaching bats
your camouflage and colour help you to protect.
Miss Praying Mantis! too have exceptional beauty
With remarkable pose, style; totally slick and sexy,
Matching colour make up and your camouflage
Makes you no way less than a Hollywood actress.

Commando Girls
This next song is
Is dedicated to those american fighting girls!
Thats right
Those american fighting girls
Who arent afraid to take the law into their own hands.
To die if necessary!
To keep our cities safe from criminal scum.
The oingo boingo proudly salutes the american commando girls
Commando girls
Commando girls
Commando girls wont you come out tonight?
Commando girls wont you come out and fight?
Commando girls youll never never catch them crying!
By daytime theyre receptionists
Accountant girls so clean
Late at night they hit the streets
Soldiers with a dream.
When they go out they arm themselves
With kakis and fatigues
Theyre tough as nails and armed to the teeth
With automatic m-16s
Iconoclastic girls that know the plan
To finnish the job like no one else can
To fight so the citys safe for you and me
Oh!
Commando girls wont you come out tonight?
Commando girls wont you come out and fight?
Commando girls youll never never catch them crying!
They prowl the streets in disciplined packs
Looking for acts of violence
Sweet little poison pussycats
They travel smooth and silent
And when they spot their guilty prey
They waste no time on busts
They stand their ground and open fire
Unload their might of justice
Oh!
Take no prisoners and leave no clues
Read all about it in the morning news
Nobody out there knows what really happened!
Oh!
Command girls wont you come out tonight?
Commando girls wont you come out and fight?
Commando girls youll never never catch them crying!
[guitar solo]
When my little girl comes home at night
Exhausted from her fighting
When she unzips her camouflage tights
She always looks so inviting!
Slippery skin all covered with sweat
Shivering in the moonlight.
Smell the gunpowder and sweet hot breath
Were gonna have fun tonight!
Oh!
Under the covers its hard to know
She risked her life just minutes ago
A stiff salute to their courage and their passion!
Commando girls...
[repeat this verse 3x]
Giddy up giddy up get em all right
Round em up round em up round em up tight
Ready now ready now ready for the fight
Shoot em up shoot em up shoot em in the night
Commando girls wont you come out tonight?
Commando girls wont you come out and fight?
Commando girls youll never never catch them crying!
Never catch them crying!
Never catch them crying!
Commando girls...
Commando girls...
Commando girls...
Commando girls...
Commando girls...

Living Lives Without Adorning Masks
To portray that which is premeditated,
Does not complete to disguise in a full camouflage.
One's word means nothing...
If a repeated deceit becomes revealed,
To mask with sweetness...
What is really concealed.
However...
Those unexperienced,
To walk a plank blindfolded without faith...
But say with them faith is always kept?
Will always believe,
Their perceptions are acceptable...
To the ones living lives without adorning masks!

Biggest gain
Did you not see the pain behind?
Happiness and peace nowhere to find
Only rising waves to meet the silence shore
What else did you see or found more?
Did you not see my inviting eyes?
So many questions to ask for why’s
Always eager to receive peace signals
Some comforts to feel upon its arrivals
I keep face smiling so you do not mind
Upheaval in mind still to reflect very kind
Complete Camouflage to find those beautiful tears
Does not come out but intolerably bears
You find me naughty just for a second
It tells you something for arrival of wind
Feel little warmth if no hidden pain
I shall consider it life’s biggest gain

To inhale pain with no gain to exhale.'

God's Glance Penetrates All Things
God's glance penetrates all things
And that what my mask hides,
I cannot keep from Him,
not even make it invisible and small
and the things behind my camouflage,
the walls that I build for others
and even my self reverence
are in His sight
but His love is something that never fades
and his pardon stays true.

What on Earth Is That 'Old' Man Thinking?
I can no longer camouflage my aches and pains.
Or hide them behind grimaces...
Through smiles to mask.
There are some tasks,
Aging limbs can not publicly pretend to do.
Like walking with a swagger,
Past a sweet young 'thing'.
Who says within listening distance...
'What on Earth is that 'old' man thinking? '

Behind The Mask
All along I had to talk
About it
Like a two edged sword,
He touched you and it stabs (me)
Chorus:
All along I knew you were
A phony girl
You sit behind the mask
And you control your world
Yesterday he held you in his arms
But when Im holdin you
Feel its bitter charms
I cant judge what youre doin to me
You camouflage the truth,
Indulge your fantasy
(chorus)
(chorus)
Who do you love?
Is it me?
Is it him?
I dont know!
There is nothing in your eyes
(there is nothing in your eyes)
But thats the way you cry
(but thats the way you cry, girl)
All is grand, all is bright
(all is grand, all is bright)
Youre just srudyng my mind
(youre just srudyng my mind)
Was I invited to your masquerade?
Well, the partys over so
Now take off the face
You say you love, but its hard to see
cause when youre in his arms
Youre throwing rocks at me
(chorus)
(chorus)
There is nothing in your eyes
(there is nothing in your eyes)
But thats the way you cry
(but thats the way you cry, girl)
All is grand, all is bright
(all is grand, all is bright)
Youre just srudyng my mind
Eh, eh, eh
I walk around Im sufferein
In my doom
When I come to you,
Youre sittin in our room
The truth in you I have
Long to trace
So take off the mask so
I can see your face
(chorus)
(chorus)

World Wars
Soldiers Fight. Enemies Fight Back
World Wars Come To An End.
The Loved Ones Go And Fight For They're People.
They Shall Fight For Land
They Shall Fight For Glory
They Fight For The People That Live.
They Shall Not Let Anyone Down
They Must Do Much As They Can.
The Soldiers Fight.
The Soldiers Protect.
Once One Soldier Dies, Others Soldiers Die
they must bring peace to the land they protect.
We Remember The People Who Went To War.
Some Of The Families Lost A Member In War.
Some Of The Families Didn't Lost A Member In War.
In War, It's Hard To Survive In War.
You Gotta Be Strong And Brave.
The War Is All About The People We Care About And Keeping Enemies Away.

Sonnet: The Pure-drest Souls, Go To Heaven
What use is an Angelic face within
A heart of self-conceit, revenge and scorn?
What use is Saint-like man with soul of sin,
Who harbors long in mind for he’s forlorn?
Let face and eyes reflect the heart of man;
With time, the mask remains, by habit glued;
Allow the mind to run amok, we can?
Let soul with virtues, good deeds be imbued.
For Heav'n receives souls that are not defiled;
In camouflage, none can get past the gate;
Beware,0 man, like rubbish, sins get piled;
The more they stay, bad habits can't abate.
Relentless sinners can't reach God's Abode;
As Heaven has its own soul's strict dress-code.

Stars
How did we ever go this far
You touched my hand and start the car
And for the first time in my life, I am crying
Are we in space do we we belong
Some place where no-1 calls it wrong
And like the stars who burn away
The miles
(russian rap)
How did we ever get this far
It shouldnt have to be this hard
Now for the first time in my life am flying
Are we in love? do we deserve
To build the shame of this whole world
And like the night we camouflage denial
(russian rap)
How did we ever go this far
You touched my hand and start the car
And for the first time in my life, I am crying
Are we in love? do we deserve

Soldier
Am a soldier at war
I have never seen violence
Because when I fight there is still
Silence
I have no weapon except
My heart it doesn't fire
Zinc bullets it only fires
Pink feelings
Am a soldier at war
Fighting for my other leg
For if am not successful
I will fall
Am a soldier that shows
True colours I fight with
Passion for I don't need
A camouflage suite to hide
Am a soldier that doesn't
Salute but holds on to his
Heart with no malice pollution
Am a soldier at war with
A warm heart but fighting
Against ice cubes
Am a soldier fighting for
A nocturnal issue which is
Replacement
Am a soldier that doesn't
Listen to any sergeants
Commands only my heart
shall give me an order
Am soldier fighting for
THE LOVE OF MY LIFE
