work in progress: my song "Alien," based on Stokely (Clea DuVall) from The Faculty (Rodriguez, 1998). Lyrics below.

wear it like armor, wear it with pride no one can hurt you if you never hide still, it's a secret i've often denied what does it matter to you?

archetype central, hella cliché it's every high school, every hallway jock and the nerd and the fiend and the gay why do they care what we do?

why do they care about me and you?

sometimes i feel like an alien playing by unknown rules trying to fit inside a body made outta unknown tools

something is wrong here, everything's strange everyone's whole personality changed gives a new meaning to foreign exchange everything normal's askew

i'm still the strange one, just like before i don't know who to trust anymore you aren't acting like you did before what is the matter with you?

Don't tell me what to do!

sometimes i feel like an alien playing by unknown rules trying to fit inside a body made outta unknown tools

you promise life without fear or pain you say that all goes away you say it's better without yourself Let me be lonely today…

i don't have friends and i wish i did friends who were aliens too i still don't want to be somebody else i'm most alone when untrue

still…

sometimes i feel like an alien playing by unknown rules trying to fit inside a body made outta unknown tools

sometimes i feel like an alien playing by unknown rules trying to fit inside a body made outta unknown tools

are we both aliens, me and you?

Another work in progress. Lyrics below...

Living in the Shadow

You don't really need to answer when I call your name

You're the rhythm I'm the dancer, play me like a game

You don't ever seem to notice when you're called upon

Universe has given notice to you in this song

Living in the shadow

Living in the screen

Life is just a cloud that grows

and disappears unseen

You could be a great Colossus, you could follow God

Follow robots waving crosses, end up somewhere odd

End up everywhere and nowhere, find no saving grace

I just know that, baby, we gotta get out of this place

Living in the shadow

Living in the screen

Life is just a cloud that grows

and disappears unseen.

Here's my apocalyptic take on the beat generation. It's a cover of an old Rod McKuen song; I've changed the lyrics a little. I'm still working my way through the Ableton tutorials, so it might sound halfway professional someday—not today, though.

I like this one a lot. Lyrics, and a link to the original, below the cut.

I looked over the mountain and saw a lamb insane With seven eyes and seven horns and tongues of writhing flame The same old ancient story The same old ancient song The central holy fact is that the weak should fear the strong

Come alive in the regeneration brand new body and a troubled new mind Come alive in the regeneration, and everything is gonna be fine!

I cannot hear the music I cannot stand the smell As little baby's little souls fall screaming down to hell It does not have a moral It's never ever fair When babies cry forevermore while angels darn the air

Come apart in the degeneration soul on fire with a troubled new mind Come apart in the degeneration, and everything is gonna be fine!

a crowd came to the mountain it seemed to be the place they saw a stranger standing there, a mask upon his face The softness of a serpent The wisdom of a dove enthralled with holy terror at this great unholy love

And people fall like pebbles And people rise like smoke forever up to heaven like some great eternal joke The punchline leaves you gasping The rhythm's out of joint With God of this you can be sure the cruelty's the point

Come alive in the regeneration brand new body and a troubled new mind Come alive in the regeneration, and everything is gonna be fine!

You wonder what the game is it can't be just for fun As angels build a castle in the center of the sun A million stores deep A million stories tall And that's about the only thing they really dig at all

Burn in hell, call it heat generation brand new body and a troubled new mind Join the band, call it beat generation, and try to hit the right note on time…

Come alive in the regeneration brand new body and a troubled new mind Come alive in the regeneration, and everything's gonna be fine!

Original song: "The Beat Generation" by Bob McFadden and Dor (Rod McKuen--Dor is "Rod" spelled backwards)
