Too Berserk
Gary Deatherage
1
Take a plane and make it fast
Let this be the last of you
We can forget all the past
All the good and bad times, too
We'll just say that things don't work
Got too crazy, too berserk
Had to go our separate ways
Put back sanity in our days.
2
When you go please don't look back
Don't try to see me
Continue on your track
That leads away from me
We'll just say that things don't work
Got too crazy, too berserk
Had to go our separate ways
Put back sanity in our days.

Put back sanity in our days.

Dark Psychic Fence\
Gary Deatherage
1
The world was born in a strange way
On a long and cloudy day
After a time things got bright
But all the time something was not right
It's been the same damned crazy place ever since
And so we're still behind a dark psychic fence.
2
And so we played some strange tunes
While we stared at cold full moons
And wondered what could be out there
Is this life going anywhere?
It's been the same damned crazy place ever since
And so we're still behind a dark psychic fence.
The world was born in a strange way
On a long and cloudy day
After a time things got bright
But all the time something was not right
It's been the same damned crazy place ever since
And so we're still behind a dark psychic fence.

Do Songs Come From The Mins?
Gary Deatherage
1
Do songs come from the mind, or do they float out there
Waiting to be found and brought into the air
To enter the Creation and release what's bound?
Are there figments, are there pigments on the canvas of time
Is there meaning, are they leaning, do they have to rhyme?
Sailing on the rhythms and the time the verses flow
It's the one way to know.
Sailing on the rhythms and the time the verses flow
It's the one way to know.
2
Poetry, or music maybe not either one
But when it happens the ego's gone.
I'm living in the suburbs commuting to the City of Light
I'm driving full throttle down the middle of the road of life.
I'm living in the suburbs commuting to the City of Light
I'm driving full throttle down the middle of the road
Of this good old life.

A Wild And Strormy Lie
Gary Deatherage
1
Your spirit, my spirit, their sprits, too
Could soar, could sink, like spirits do.
Caught in the winds of a wild and stormy life
Minding the tiller through peace and through the the strife,
Controlling what we do, it's not so easy to get through
Controlling what we do, it's not so easy to get through.
2
We struggle, we strive, we pick and choose
2Can't make it, can't move, we pay our dues.
Caught in the winds of a wild and stormy life
Minding the tiller through peace and through the the strife,
Controlling what we do, it's not so easy to get through
Controlling what we do, it's not so easy to get through
Get through, get through.

Just Be Cool
Gary Deatherage
1
Nothing's clear when you look through fear
To see on through
Some things dear just disappear
And some leave you
And the boogie man reaches out his hand
To capture a fool
Will you run away pretend to pray
Or just be cool.
2
Every day in a thousand ways
We feel the strap
And every year you feel it near until you snap
And the boogie man reaches out his hand
To capture a fool
Will you run away pretend to pray
Or just be cool.

Or just be cool.
Will you run away pretend to pray

Be cool, just be cool,
Be cool, be cool.

WILL WE BOUNCE BACK TOMORROW?
If you've ever spent some time alone
Until you lost your social perspective
Then you will no doubt remember
How it made your perceptions defective
How it made your perceptions defective.
How can one return from such unreal ground?
Once known can perceptions ever be found,
Can they ever be found?
Can perceptions be lost and never be found?
Are we doomed to sorrow, or will we bounce back tomorrow,
Or will we bounce back tomorrow?
Can perceptions be lost and never be found?
Are we doomed to sorrow, or will we bounce back tomorrow,
Or will we bounce back tomorrow?
Or will we bounce back tomorrow?
Or will we bounce back tomorrow?

Rise Aove
Gary Deatherage
1
Thought life was a bitter pill
When I lived in vagrantville
Then my ship came in one day
Sent me off in a another way
And when the going now gets rough
I rise above all that stuff.
2
Thought life was a piece of cake
The more I did, the more I'd take
Big storm sank my ship one day
Sent me off in another way
And when the going now get rough
I rise above all that stuff.
3
Now I drift upon the sea
Still got life inside of me
Waiting for my time again
This cannot be all in vain
And when the going now gets rough
I rise above all that stuff.

Hearts Are Holow
Gary Deatherage
1
When you dive into the water
Something there awaits you
Will you sink or will you follow
Will you think about who?
Are there many, is there one
Who are those who follow
In the past or yet unborn
Those whose hearts are hollow
Those whose hearts are hollow.
And if you ask, you just might die
And if you don't you cannot live
Without trust there is not love
No way to forgive
No way to forgive.
2You can gamble, can sacrifice,
Throw away some of you
Or can be, can act compassion
See where that will lead to
Are there many, is there one
Who are those who follow
In the past or yet unborn
Those whose hearts are hollow
Those whose hearts are hollow.
And if you ask, you just might die
And if you don't you cannot live
Without trust there is not love
No way to forgive
No way to forgive.
No way to forgive
No way to forgive.

How Many Days?
Gary Deatherage
1
Look for clues in the fading daylight
Seek and search in the night, too
And if you find it it always feels right
If you don't that's alright, too.
How many days and how many ways are due you?
How will you know in the end what was false, what was true?
2
Move along leave a trail of fire
Warm your spirit, your mind, too
And if you're lucky you can go higher
Up to the point where you find you
How many days and how many ways are due you?
How will you know in the end what was false, what was true?

Almost Had Perfecrion
Gary Deatherage
1
Sometimes I just walk at night
But what I seek I can't find
Sometimes when the time seems right
Light can enter my mind
Light can enter my mind.
I can see the world, what might have been
Almost had perfection without end
What we made is such a tragedy
Can we fix it, or is this the way we'll be?
Can we fix it, or is the the way we'll be?
2
First comes the pale twilight
Later still comes the dawn
Sun sails across the sky
And with it time marches on
And with it time marches on.
I can see the world, what might have been
Almost had perfection without end
What we made is such a tragedy
Can we fix it, or is this the way we'll be?
Can we fix it, or is the the way we'll be?

Social Preening
Garr Deatherage
1
We can't live without betraying
We can't live without the lie
Broken hearts and useless praying
Every path's a way to die.
To carry on requires intent
The tree grows strong the way it's bent
To carry on requires intent
The tree grows strong the way it's bent.
2
What a journey, what a ride
What a way to travel
What you cannot hold inside
Soon will all unravel.
To carry on requires intent
The tree grows strong the way it's bent
To carry on requires intent
The tree grows strong the way it's bent.
3
When you think of what has been
Would you want to live it again
Or would you choose something that's new
And if you did would you still be you?
To carry on requires intent
The tree grows strong the way it's bent
To carry on requires intent
The tree grows strong the way it's bent.
Here you come and here you go,
Can you find the meaning?
Was it only looking good,
Just some social preening
Just some social preening?
To carry on requires intent
The tree grows strong the way it's bent
To carry on requires intent
The tree grows strong the way it's bent.

Same Things
Gary Deatherage
1
Same things come and go
Most things that come by I already know
I'm needing something new
But when I find it, it starts to
Recede into the background, too.
Sensations come, perceptions form
With everything that I do,
A gentle calm, the greatest storm
Are things that I have been through
Are things that I have been through.
2
I play memories
The ones that hide I cannot see
The rest forms history
The psychic backbone that is me
And only builds as energy.
Sensations come, perceptions form
With everything that I do,
A gentle calm, the greatest storm
Are things that I have been through
Are things that I have been through.
3

Are things that I have been through
Are things that I have been through.

While my more polished songs usually gravitate to II Cosmic or Howling Wannabes albums, the Deep Dude albums often provide homes for simpler songs, songs that are topical, or ones that are somehow different than usual for me..
