Another Notch(Markosian-Clinger)
lyrics ©2009 Ken Clinger & Tom Furgas
another notch
music by adam markosian and ken clinger
lyrics by ken clinger
recorded April 12, 2009
beck and call a filament stop
creed is blind without the talk
streaming molar fiberglass
tighten to another notch
piston pumping screams "I am"
clay to make another man
dust upon the hourglass
passing secrets to the sand
ruminating moralists
searching for a crowd
assimilated symbolist
converting thoughts aloud
oars raised to an english lord
sanctified diminished chord
tighten yet another notch
predated by the storyboard
broken silent piston lies
upon the creed now crystalised
streaming molar cannot stop
the hour glass's compromise
four and twenty vocalists
descending from a cloud
a compromised receptionist
hides behind a shroud

Looking Glass River (AMKC)
lyrics (PD) Robert Louis Stevenson)
Smooth it glides upon its travel,
Here a wimple, there a gleam --
O the clean gravel!
O the smooth stream!
Sailing blossoms, silver fishes,
Paven pools as clear as air --
How a child wishes
To live down there!
We can see our coloured faces
Floating on the shaken pool
Down in cool places,
Dim and very cool;
Till a wind or water wrinkle,
Dipping marten, plumping trout,
Spreads in a twinkle
And blots all out.
See the rings pursue each other;
All below grows black as night,
Just as if mother
Had blown out the light!
Patience, children, just a minute --
See the spreading circles die;
The stream and all in it
Will clear by-and-by.

The Men Who Looked Like
(Susnara-Clinger)
lyrics ©2009 Ken Clinger & Dan Susnara
The man who looked like Joey Bishop
Well, he drinks too much and he pees in public
And he picked the wrong guy, punched out his lights
Who, he perceived, looked at his wife:
The man who looked like Barney Fyfe
The man who looked like Barney Don Knotts
Well, he wears a suit when he drives a tractor
And detectives watch his girlfriend nights
She’s out late with scary military types
Quote: Samo Hung and Wesley Snipes
The man who looked like Ringo Starr
He found a suitcase hidden in his car
Well, he learned the truth about Peter Best
Who wouldn’t sell his fate like all the rest
He lost the fame, but he passed the test
The man who looked like no one else
He hid in an attic, but broadcast his self
to the universe in a clever disguise
He told the truth, but made it sound like lies
Their minds rejected, but it showed in their eyes.

Ramon (Micky Saunders & Ken Clinger)
I guess you never knew
when I fly above the man in the crowd
the lady wears those flashing eyes
a feather touch is not allowed
we haven’t heard a thing all day
sitting in the back seat, I had a cup of tea
a little gypsy gets around
he had a berth, he got to sea
heads across the sky
they smile away, the butter pie is melting
hands across the water boiling
tea beneath the 3 legged fly
Billy Budapest pajamas
cats and kittens hypnotize
bells are buzzing, bees are humming
long haired lady’s big surprise
I guess you never saw
a friend of mine, well he did say
let’s eat at home, we can’t be wrong
the kettle’s on the boil a mile away
hands across the water smiling
butter pie and cup of tea
heads across the sky, don’t let them
tell you what you want to be
my dog he got 3 legs down the street
give your heart cause love is long
and when we’re finished driving
smile away and sing your song
ram on

Remains (Jesters Longevity & KC)
lyrics ©2009 Ken Clinger
I climb onto the table
hearing birds sing in the trees
flies are buzzing round
she directs them to the door
she pulls needles from the alcohol
she dries them with clean gauze
she says her guides will help her
as they always have before
she says my guides will help me
our guides work in harmony
meridians and energy
experiences stored
relaxation comes
sense of others in the room
tune into their presence
in a nonphysical way
their dimension is dimensionless
no sense of space nor time
spirit without bound’ries
but more real than night and day
cold air passes over me
I recognize the touch
I cannot see the energy
but instinct knows the way
her voice recalls me back
to my body and its world
the guides will now reveal the spot
obstructing memories
twirling thin gold needles
center forehead sacred eye
golden needles stimulate
the higher frequencies
scar tissue is holding
some traumatic psychic pain
memories begin to come
across the centuries
conflicts with authority
broken hearted loss
promises that were not kept
passions cool then cease
responsibilities create
resentment and dismay
confused misunderstanding
distrust grows by degrees
but deep and far beyond it all
remains the heart of love
unresolved experiences
cloud the core of peace
her voice again recalls me
to my body and its world
energized contentment
vivid memories remain
removing golden needles
from my forehead’s sacred eye
she says relax and choose
some mem’ries easy to retain
in spite of all this vividness
it slowly fades away
the physical obscures
your inner worlds your private gains
I climb down from the table
hearing birds sing in the trees
I drift out thru the doorway
tho part of me remains.

Without a Grain of Salt
(Beeg Srahka & KC)
lyrics ©2009 Ken Clinger
While you’re astray on Deep Space 9
with Rolodex control
Shaggy manes on occupants
confusing two lost souls
Eleanor rides into love
she gives the same old line
wanders into training charts
their authors’ tongues were tied
Mercury responds to guilt
It’s thorough to a fault
no reason to apologize
without a grain of salt
I’m really sorry you’ve been fed
without the proper cream
the catalog neglects the eggs
to save the cost of steam
Filled with Perry Como’s songs
we know he couldn’t spell
and so we translate lyrics
yet know the lies they tell
The two lost souls regain the field
the label wonders why
we entertain on treadmills
and then reward with pie
Eleanor, she shows regret
it’s too late to be smart
the flip side of her recipe
meanders from the start
You’re still astray on Deep Space 9
the cancellation shows
but it’s too hard to flip the switch
to something no one knows
Mercury has dulled the pain
with substances still banned
But rubbing salt into the wound
works better than with sand
Now we find that you’ve attained
a private vat of cream
and had a dozen eggs preserved in
coolness by the stream
Perry Como takes a bow
and thanks the two lost souls
their garbled comprehension
has let him take control

Fantasies in Rhyme (Mars Dark)
lyrics ©2009 Ken Clinger
cities of the future
sending messages in time
colors reaching consciousness
their fantasies in rhyme
voices whisper secrets
things are different than they seem
I sense I’m going to lose myself
drift off into a dream
waking up to majesty
the air is full of sound
it echoes deep inside of me
the future is unbound

Colors Blooming Thoughtlessly
(Ken Clinger & Hal McGee)
lyrics ©2009 Ken Clinger
the spiral becomes tighter
narrowing its hold
while the current becomes stronger
too much to resist
ahead there looms the vortex point
too perfect to behold
concentrated energy
yet gentler than a kiss
a surge from deep inside of me
so beautiful with pain
I lose a part of what I held
too tightly to destroy
but I can’t stand much more of this
in spite of all the gain
another surge, a wall collapse
an all encompassed joy
waking up, confusion reigns
this won’t fit with that
reorganize the dark & light
choose grayness to fit in
everything is now in place
the inner diplomat
but deep inside insisting voice
refusing to give in
a daydream interrupts the flow
something like a kiss
or colors blooming thoughtlessly
within a field of gray
the strange and wonderful return
but shrouded in a mist
a dream becomes a memory
to slowly fade away
