"Certain of the Truth" by Wolf Kier copyright Wolf Kier 2012 2013 2022 I was certain of the truth until just today when I found a daisy underneath my windscreen wiper blade I was shattered, I was rattled I was harried, I was stirred Could that daisy mean that the ghost of love would soon return to me? And I know that no one else could have left it there except for you you fiend, you ghoul! Are you back to complicate my days? Are you back to stimulate my nights? Are you back to bring me back to life? Are you back to bring me back to life? I was certain of the truth Are you back to bring me back to life? I was certain of the truth Are you back to bring me back to life? I was certain of the truth until today I was certain of the truth that you had left me in my cave with a fire and a rock and a bearskin artist's smock Left to holler and to groan at the dinosaurs and Gods and scratch pictures of you in the wall with a stone. But now you return you fiend, you ghoul! you fiend, you ghoul! Are you back to complicate my days? Hell hound! Are you back to stimulate my nights? Monster! Are you back to bring me back to life? Help me? Are you back to bring me back to life? I was certain of the truth Are you back to bring me back to life? I was certain of the truth Are you back to bring me back to life? I was certain of the truth I was certain of the truth until today. Now there you stand in all your glory A revelation, with trepidation Will you stay for good this time? A second coming, silent running, but that's another story.... ba bara ba ba ba... I was certain of the truth until you turned back towards that door You'd come back to see... To watch me in my misery And now you disappear again You fiend, you ghoul! Monster! You just came back to complicate my days And haunt me every night (monster!) Now I'm certain of the truth One more time.... Help me! Hell hound! ba bara ba ba ba..... ba bara ba ba BAAAAA.....

Fashion Demands by Wolf Kier copyright wolf kier 2012-2013-2022 She got a brand new pair of shoes I know cos I got the bill They better be a pretty fancy pair of f+++ing shoes because I ain't eaten meat in at least 3 weeks. She says, "well fashion demands" I said, "I'll do what I can, baby." She got a brand new sports car A sports car she does not drive Because her fancy fortune teller told her That a sports car is how she's gonna die GONNA DIE She says "but fashion demands!" I said I'll do what I can, baby. And what fashion demands Of course, you gotta have and if fashion says jump Then some magazine will tell you How high and how far but it certainly won't tell you how to survive when you hit the ground when you hit the ground when you hit the ground And my girl knew how to hit the ground running She got a brand new boyfriend I saw them on the news And I could not help but notice the bitch was still wearing those shoes that I paid for Shoes she could not afford In a month of Sundays But if that's what fashion demands I'll do all that I can to laugh If that's what fashion demands I'll do all that I can I'll do all that I can just to laugh out loud, yeah.

"Said the Monkey to the Chimpanzee" by Wolf Kier copyright 2012 2022 Wolf Kier I saw it on the TV and I had the sound turned down "we're off to war" the caption read politicians gathered round And the children packed their underwear and rode off on a train and we'll never see their sorry innocent asses again What if this is? What if this is? What if this is? The war that we don't win What if this is? What if this is? What if this is? The war that we don't win One two three four let's go fight another war "sink or swim" said the monkey to the chimpanzee Now the desert sands are swarming with a million sorry souls armed with only video controllers and out of juice cell phones while the people back home shoot each other for a dime and the banks are holding empty homes and reneging on all their loans What if this is....? What if this is? What if this is? What if this is? The war that we don't win What if this is? What if this is? What if this is? The war that we don't win One two three four let's go fight another war "sink or swim" said the monkey to the chimpanzee Solo Said the monkey to the chimpanzee "You don't look nothing like me but we can both act like human beings if we try" ha ha ha ha Said the chimpanzee, the smarter breed, "Not on my time, no, siree! A human cannot act like me I never dropped a nuke" What if this is? What if this is? "Those humans make me puke!" What if this is? The war that we don't win What if this is? What if this is? What if this is? The war that we don't win One two three four let's go fight another war "sink or swim" said the monkey to the chimpanzee One two Three Oh!

Overload 03:26
"Overlload" by Wolf Kier copyright Wolf Kier 2012 2013 2022 Awf! Cha cha cha cha If I'm in overload forgive me. Ow! If I hit the road forgive me I'm learning to sleep with 27 people in my bathroom wandering in my bedroom any time they please I'm learning to speak with dead people talking at me filling up my head with all the things that they once said How hard can it be? How hard can it be? If I'm in overload forgive me. If I hit the road forgive me I'm hanging on a bough Blowin' in the wind Waiting on a sound Maybe I"m waiting on a jet plane To get me out of here To get me out of overload I'm learning how to keep my focus on the road despite the danger signs Speeding up way too fast I'm focused on that sweet distant tomorrow Where peace might just be mine at last! and noise in my head Is left far behind If I'm in overload forgive me. If I hit the road forgive me Overload. If I leave here the 27 people living in my bathroom will have to find another place to congregate And if I leave here the multitude of dead folks stuck between my ears will have to move along to the oblivion where they belong Move along.. Move along... Cha cha cha cha I'm learning how to juggle the diverse pharmaceuticals modern medicine's miracles and keep an even keel I'm learning how to speak only when spoken to only when I'm paid to do on bleeding heart TV chat shows. Ouch! If I'm in overload forgive me. If I hit the road forgive me I'm hanging on a bough Blowin' in the wind If I'm in overload forgive me. If I hit the road forgive me Waiting on a sound Get me out of here Get me out of here Maybe I'm waiting on a jet plane To get me out of here To get me out of overload Cha cha cha cha.

"TILT" by Wolf Kier wk031 copyright Wolf Kier 2013, 2022 Did you laugh? Did you smile? Did you frown? Did you cry? Did you do all that today? Did you tilt the record machine? I can't tell you how to live your life I won't be here when the mud starts to slide Did you laugh? Did you cry? Did you? Did you stop to wonder why? I wonder. The holy man's gun in the dresser it hides? Did you tilt the record machine? I can't tell you how to live your life I won't be here when the worlds collide Through the holy mysteries of our redemption, may almighty God release you from all punishments in this life and in the life to come. May he open to you the gates of paradise and welcome you to everlasting joy. JOY JOY Did you laugh? Did you smile? Did you frown? Did you cry? Did you do all that today?

The holy man's gun in the dresser it hides? Did you tilt the record machine?

Crawlspace 02:54
"Crawlspace" by Wolf Kier copyright wolf kier 2010-2016 2022 Quick Quick up the stairs Before she knows Fine line drawn Between our souls We share this house We share this Bed We made a child Out of lightning we said We signed a pact In ink red with blood No separation when Death comes to call No heaven will dilute our Love I float here in this crawlspace I dwell here in this half place She lives here with a sad face My lips are stitched My spirit detached No heaven will Steal my love Steal my love Quick Quick to the wall She passes me by Fine line is drawn Between wind and the sky We were one I am none A whisper on her neck And I am done. We knew the earth and we knew the sky We knew the water and we knew the fire We knew the passions rich with delight We knew a bond beyond all desire I float here in this crawlspace I dwell here in this half place She lives here with a sad face My lips are stitched My spirit detached No heaven will Steal my love Steal my love Steal my love +

A Dark and Sinister Spice by Wolf Kier Copyright Wolf Kier 2011 2014 2022 A dark and sinister spice It runs right through this life Gives tools to fools who choose our future Two wrongs don't make a right Two clowns in costumes fight No rules for those who choose our future A dark and sinister spice We all know that sacrifice Each time we set aside Our dreams for what we don't need Hopes lost to monotony Dreams crushed by vicious greed Love chained to misery Who's got the time to breathe? World turns for those who hate Time stops for those who wait Move now, don't hesitate into the future A dark and sinister spice We all know that sacrifice Each time we set aside Our dreams for what we don't need Every day we eat it up eat it up It ain't food but we eat it up eat it up Everyday we eat it up It ain't air and it ain't water, It ain't food but we eat it up eat it up eat it up, eat it up.... She works right through the night Her children live in fright What hope is there for the future? World turns for those who hate Time stops for those who wait Move now, don't hesitate into the future the future...future. A dark and sinister spice We all know that sacrifice Each time we set aside Our dreams for what we don't need A dark and sinister spice We all know that sacrifice Each time we set aside Our dreams for what we don't need

Good Enough 02:51
Good Enough by Wolf Kier Copyright 2016-2022 I been walking in a straight line Trying to keep my nose clean You been talking up my bad side And trying to stain my name And it wouldn't hurt so much If I didn't need to touch you If I didn't need so much of you If this ain't good enough It's never gonna be good enough for me I been minding up my manners You know I watch my ps and qs I eat my cake with a fork And my ice cream with a spoon I'll do anything it takes Just as long as I'm with you I need the touch of ya I need so much of ya If this ain't good enough It's never gonna be good enough for me Good enough-a! We been talking round in circles We been chasin' up our tails And for every happy couple there's a thousand who fail And I wouldn't think so much To shut this coffin with a nail If I didn't think so much of ya If I didn't need so much of ya If this ain't good enough It's never gonna be good enough for me

Periphery by Wolf Kier copyright 2020 2022 I can't believe that you spent all that time on the periphery, watching me At the edge of my dreams, on the edge of my dreams. What did you see when you spent all that time on the periphery, watching me? Did you see me do wrong? Did you see me do wrong? You saw that part of me That darkest heart of me On the edge of my dreams, on the edge of my dreams. You got me open wide You've seen me deep inside Did you see me do wrong? Did you see me do wrong? On the edge of my dreams, Did you see me do wrong? On the edge of my dreams, Oh? Did you see me do wrong? When did love become the fbi? when did love become the cia? when did love become the irs? Do you love me any more? Could you love me any less, now? I'm in the jailhouse now Knee deep in love somehow On the edge of my dreams, on the edge of my dreams. You tore me open wide You looked down deep inside did you see me do wrong? Did you see me do wrong? I can't believe that you spent all that time on the periphery, watching me On the edge of my dreams, on the edge of my dreams. What did you see when you spent all that time on the periphery watching me did you see me do wrong? Did you see me do wrong?
