SYMBOLS ON THE WESTERN EDGE
[What do our iconic symbols of the mind, heart and imagination mean?]
The ocean and the water are symbols of the darkness
Symbols of the unknown and the unconscious mind
The ship upon the water is a symbol of the voyage
Floating ‘cross the terror and coming to the other side
The heart and emotions are symbols of intelligence
The center of the body of love that’s come again
The heart with an arrow is a symbol of conjunction
Coming all together, the light and the pain
And there’s the hawk and there’s the dove, now
Wherever they may fly, they’re black and they are white
Like the greatest ghost, the Pharaoh’s coronation
Like a soul that’s leaving its host for a long lost destination

SUMMER IS FOREVER IN L-A
[The bail-out is for charlatans, mountebanks and felons]
You cannot keep your money; you cannot keep your house
No one prosecutes the swindler or his pals
Every dollar’s being sent down a golden drain
Summer is forever in L-A
You cannot have an answer; you cannot have your dream
Nothing down on Wall Street’s what it seems
Every crouching Congressman has already been paid
Summer is forever in L-A
Try to fix my bank before it blows away
Gimme back my money that you lost today
Give ‘em $700 billion, give ‘em 700 more
Give ‘em power mighty Caesar never had
They’re running through the signals like a madman on a train
Summer is forever in L-A
Take it to the window give it to the man
Someone in the back room’s got a brand new scam
I see a line of dominos; it’s got to end someday
Summer is forever in L-A
The grim reaper’s name is Bill, there’s no one left to pay
Summer is forever in L-A
There’s two fists stuck in the till, an MBA buffet
Summer is forever in L-A.

LOVE SONG FOR A NEW AMERICA
[Kristin’s love song at last]
Well they took our car, same day that GM failed
And they took our house, same day Citibank was bailed
The pathway to hell is paved with final bills
The pathway to hell is wide and traveled well
They turned off our phone, same day that I called for help
They turned off our lights, the heats gone and the temp just fell
The pathway to hell: anxiety on rails
The pathway to hell: bald tires on a street of nails
Tonight there’s something else that’s overdue
It’s time to tell you that I love you
I know the world out there is black and blue
It’s time to say again, I love you
Hey, they took our cards but they saved the AIG
Oh, they took it all and gave it to the B of A
The pathway to hell is for the population
The pathway to hell not for the corporation
Tonight there’s something else that’s overdue
It’s time to tell you that I love you
I know the world out there is black and blue
It’s time to say again, I love you

I Come From Chaldea

I COME FROM CHALDǼ
[News from the Cabinet of Mysteries]
I come from Chaldæ
The great land of seers
Astronomers and seekers
And our moment in the sun
Life in the desert
Was ancient and strange
A magical age
That is over and done
We built a tower in the sand
A mountain for the heavens
From red to green, to silver white
Beyond the upper worlds we left in flight
I’m just a memory
Of men who had the sight
The flying ones were right
In ten thousand years we’d just begun
