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

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!

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

Unsuccessful Attempts
It would be great if we could create,
Anything to have others believe.
And magically it comes true.
Like lies many are accustomed to tell,
On others.
To then embellish them to exaggerate,
Their version of truth.
With unsuccessful attempts,
To undo someone's integrity...
So others can see them not shining as bright.
Only to attract darkness upon the paths,
Of those tellers of lies hiding in disguise!
And...
It doesn't matter how many people evil,
Can gather under one steeple.
To camouflage whatever that is believed they save.

I'm so tired of giving up my heart.
I'm so tired of making new starts.
Like I've got nothing but love for sale.
To inhale pain with no gain to exhale.'
Rap it!
Rap it!

'I'm so tired of the games being played.
I'm so tired of being used for a quick lay.
I'm so tired of words that say,
'I love you baby but I can not stay.'

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.

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
To build the shame of this whole world
And like the night we camouflage denial

Lies, Lies, Lies
[verse 1]
I see you coming through the door
Creepin
Its a quarter past four
And
I smell the scent of cheap perfume
Who is she?
You step in the room
With a guilty look upon your face
Busted
And you started to say
but really baby I can explain
Save your breath
Ive got something to say
[chorus:]
Every word you say is
Lies, lies, lies
And now Im leaving you, so
Bye, bye, bye
And I cant take no more of this
Cry, cry, cryin
You know that you aint @#%$
With your
Lies, lies, lies
Ohhhhh
[verse 2]
Dont bother to apologize
Its too late
Ive heard it all before
And
This should come as no surprise
Im leaving
Ive packed my things
Cause Im through with this merry go around
Im getting off
Ive finally found
My strength waiting down
I should have left your @#%$
After the first round
Ohhhh
[chorus:]
Every word you say is
Lies, lies, lies
And now Im leaving you, so
Bye, bye, bye
And I cant take no more of this
Cry, cry, cryin
You know that you aint @#%$
With your
Lies, lies, lies
Please, please
Oh please
[laughs]
Yeah
What you goin do?
Tell your boys
All how you got over again?
Yeah right
Get off your knees
Oh, baby, please
Go ahead and tell the truth
Yeah
You know what
You see this fire in my eyes
Its all because of you
All you do is lie
[chorus:]
Every word you say is
Lies, lies, lies (goodbye, yeah. whooo)
And now Im leaving you, so
Bye, bye, bye (leaving you, leaving you, ohhh)
And I cant take no more of this
Cry, cry, cryin (too many tears over the years)
You know that you aint @#%$
With your
Lies, lies, lies (every little word you say is driving me crazy, insane)
Every word you say is (why lie? )
Lies, lies, lies
And now Im leaving you, so (bye, bye)
Bye, bye, bye
And I cant take no more of this
Cry, cry, cryin
You know that you aint @#%$

Lies, lies, lies (you aint @#%$ with your li, li, li, li, lies)

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? '

I saw a lovely girl (Terzanelle)
I saw a lovely girl sheathing her claws and settle
becoming a part of my heart
but skin, beauty and charm were only camouflage for bear metal
and at times her pupils would dart
trying to zoom in with glances
becoming a part of my heart
but could cut ferociously as if with lances
and still deep down
trying to zoom in with glances
and her body were lithe, tanned brown
drawing my hand to caress with pleasure
and still deep down
some animal was hiding behind the leisure
beyond a lovely smile and wiry curves
drawing my hand to caress with pleasure
waking electric nerves.
I saw a lovely girl sheathing her claws and settle
beyond a lovely smile and wiry curves
but skin, beauty and charm were only camouflage for bear metal.

R 1
the injustice of course lies in the
camouflage and she knows all these but she never mentions that to you
for she cannot live
without you that even the hint of
a possibility of
a parting, just the slight movement of the finger
from the hand
she then starts to cry and
touches you and
tells you that you must never leave her
for she has nothing
and no one
you are a man of compromises
and you live between night and day
you always miss the stars but you cannot even be
gazing for them
even for a night
you love to play under the sun and take time at the beach
and play ball and bathe under the softest light
but you cannot have your feet settled on the sands
this is what happens when you have not decided
categorically
one hand in heaven and the other in hell
and your body wiggles as your face is divided
your eyes are crossed
and your feet cannot dance
the way it should have been
done perfectly
on that harmony of love and affection
because you have chosen only one.

The Presidency
The presidency is almost over,
My names are not wrong and incorrect;
These keys are convertible, like religions,
My names affect the youth and majority.
The tugger has a lifestyle or track of mind,
Thoughts of rope abound like music.
Camouflage is in need of repair,
Opening the doors to the above.
Highest forces collect to dissolve us,
Kinfolk work along, fewer than before.

The Door and The Windows
what i shall bring you is a door
of colored glass
behind it is profuse light
the one at 10 o'clock
what i have in my hand is the warmth
i borrowed it from the sun
what i cannot say is not what i am hiding
what i give you is a camouflage
if you listen closely and if you close your eyes
what my hand just gave you is the only truth
if you love me more than enough
you must not mention the need for windows

The fallen Cuban soldier
Your hand lies stretched out
and still holds on to your Ak
where you lie in Angola,
in the African bush in the last sleep
and in Luanda
and later in Havana
they know that you are missing
and are probably dead.
Nobody of your unit
will ever again,
drive tanks and armoured cars
and their general
does not wait on their return.
Somewhere in Cuba a woman mourns
and waits in vain,
to ever again
hear something from you.
You lifted your weapon
against boys from South Africa
and the bullets of an Afrikaner boy
pierced you.
Your camouflage uniform
is stained with blood
and you are placed in a hole
in the red-brown sand
and white powder,
is dropped on top of you
before you become a part
of the cold earth.
Later a Ovambo’s farm goats
will graze above you and eat
from the thorn bushes,
that grows over you
and you will be forgotten by everyone.
