Surrounded by deception
There’s only what I know to do
Gave me a secret mission
Why is my sign Code Blue
And I see it clearly
How I lie to survive
The sabotage came early
And there’s a flash
Deceivers die
Impounded by perception
Holding on to what’s untrue
Break away with stark vision
You’ll turn me, I’ll turn you
And I see it clearly
How we lie to survive
The sabotage came early
Light the fuse and then
Deceivers die
We spy in a tank
Filled with secrets and lies
Should it break and the truth leaks
Something dies
Compounded by deception
Taking life is what they do
Break away with dark vision
I’ll burn me, you’ll burn you
And I see it clearly
How they lie to stay alive
The sabotage came early
The epitaph reads
Deceivers die
Deceivers die
Deceivers die
Deceivers die
Deceivers

A Hard Land

A hard land under clear sharp skies
A blue so deep and a red so bright
A dusty wind blows hot indifference
On Kansas Joe with mischief in sight
Joe Johnson looks across the desert
Turns around and heads back to town
A crackling mind that likes to vex
Sad Horace perfect to bring down
Horace Jones dissipated this morning
He whored and drank the day before
A heavy pain now fills his heart
Miss Louise said that’s it no more
Louise Jane puts the pen away
Blots the letter she wants to send
Wrote too much, didn’t say it all
Clerk Billy takes her prayer to mend
Two Bit Bill bites the hard-earned coin
Saw no despair in her lowered eye
Sacks up the letter for an outbound train
Addressed to New Orleans and Miss Lorelei
Lorelei never got the final letter
Train robbers let it blow across the sand
Passing and wary she often denied
All those who left for a hard land
A hard land and sheltering sky
Nothing but horizon everywhere
Ash to ashes, it’s dust to dust
A hard land returns your stare
