Shot of Solidaritine

Somewhere in between
Of all the truth that must be told
And all bullshit that must be sold
In deep deep deep obscurity
Sleeps human — Hey!
Human — Ho!
Solidarity
Solidarity
Wake up and see
Look at them all
Look at them all
Pining for the easy victory
Wake up beauty
You wake up and see
Look at them all
Pining for what
Can be done only in unity
Now that you had year or two
To get a much better clue
Who gives a fuck about you
We all contain multitudes
On various altitudes
But Spektor the United services
All neighborhoods
Between a bullet proof screen
That can handle the obscene
And of all the calamity
Lives at least one
Or we’d be all gone
Germ of Solidarity
Wake up and see
Look at them all
Look at them all
Pining for the easy victory
Wake up beauty
You wake up and see
Look at them all
Pining for what
Can be done only in unity
Oh yeah the multitudes
And social altitudes
Oh yeah the limits of the human speech
But solidarity in human cretin
Is never that hard to reach
Never that hard to reach
Somewhere in between
Of all the truth that must be told
And all bullshit that must be sold
In deep deep deep obscurity
Sleeps human — Hey!
Human — Ho!
Solidarity
Solidarity
Solidarity
Wake up and see
Look at them all
Look at them all
Pining for easy victory
Wake up beauty
You wake up and see
Look at them all
Pining for what
Can be done only in unity
Oh yeah the multitudes
And social altitudes
Oh yeah the limits of the human speech
But solidarity in human cretin
Is never that hard to reach
Never that hard to reach
Somewhere in between

Focus Coin
04:32
|

Have you noticed
You just can’t focus
If you can’t focus
How can you notice
They got you running
Running on the fumes
Through the city of a banging pendulums
There ain’t no way to verify
They got you running
Running on the fumes
Through the city of swinging pendulums
They only sell
It’s you who buy
And you get a feeling
With all that good they are trying
Perhaps part of the time
Some of them lying
Ever wonder why you never get to bottom of all that verifying?
You got only one spine
And one head to get by
And you are forced to consider
For sake of staying alive
All of them are lying
And all of the time
Lying lying lying
All of them are lying
It’s true and tried
Lying lying lying
All of them are lying
All of the time
Insecure ones looking
Where else to join
The ones who are overlooking
Collecting mine and their focus coin
They got them running
Running on all the fumes
Through the city of banging pendulums
There ain’t no way to verify
And you get a feeling
Within all the good they are trying
Perhaps some of the time
Some of them lying
It must be exhausting
So many demons be hosting
You got only one spine
And one head to get by
And you are forced to consider
For sake of staying alive
All of them are lying
And all of the time
Professionally lying
Lying lying lying
All of them are lying
Professionally and all of the time
Lying lying lying
All of them are lying
It’s true and tried
Had me a woman
But she moved forth
Ran off with my best friend
Now they are living
On flat Earth
They got them running
Running on the fumes
In the city of banging pendulums
There ain’t no way to verify
They got you running
Running on all the fumes
In the city of banging pendulums
They only sell
It’s you who buys
And you get a feeling
Within all the good they are trying
Perhaps some of the time
Some of them lying
It must be exhausting
So many demons be hosting
You got only one spine
And one head to get by
And you are forced to consider
For sake of staying alive
All of them are lying
And all of the time
Lying lying lying
All of them are lying
And all of the time
It’s true and tried
Lying lying lying
All of them are lying

I'm not playing with you
I'm not playing with you
I'm not playing with you, yeah, you
I clean forgot how to play
But you can still come around
In fact I invite you down
Maybe together
We can wipe that stupid smile off your face
'Cause what a difference
What a difference
What a difference
A little difference can make
I'm not playing with you
I'm not playing with you
I'm not playing with you, yeah, you
I clean forgot how to play
Let’s draw a blueprint
Let’s make it easy
It's just a matter
Of knowing when to say yes or no
Frustrating, frustrating
Always waiting for the bigger axe to fall
Never mind what they’re selling
It's what you're buying
Never mind what they’re selling
It's what you're buying
Never mind what they’re selling
It's what you're buying
Never mind what's been selling
It's what you're buying
I'm not playing with you
I'm not playing with you
I'm not playing with you, yeah, you
I clean forgot how to play

First time I saw the end of era
I was 5 I was 5
Faster than a chaser came the second one
And I said I get it ma
I get it now
It’s the Era of End of Eras
And it’s just begun
It’s the Era of the End of Eras
You left us bleeding on the streets
Where sad eye century’s mascara
Runs over places where we used to meet
It’s the Era of the End of Eras
Go build ark of your own
Gather all your magic beasts and treasures
Cause your ark is sailing on
It’s sailing on
Sail on sail on
Third and fourth
They came like cheap shots on the house
Watching these walls going up and down and up again
Then again and again and again
What else is fucking new man
Like a fallen angel dominos
These days they go
It’s the Era of the End of Eras
You left us bleeding on the streets
Where sad eye century’s mascara
Runs over places where we used to meet
It’s the Era of the End of Eras
Go build ark of your own
Gather all your magic beasts and treasures
Cause your ark is sailing on
It’s sailing on
Sail on sail on
It’s the Era of the End of Eras
I’ve seen this movie from first row
Now trying make my way to backseats and backstreets
Where it all begun
It’s the Era of the End of Eras
You left us bleeding on the streets
Where sad eye century’s mascara
Runs over places where we used to meet
It’s the Era of the End of Eras
Go build ark of your own
Gather all your magic beasts and treasures
Cause your ark is sailing on
It’s sailing on
Sail on sail on
Cause our ark is sailing on
Sailing on sailing on and on and on

I’m Coming Out
03:36
|
|||
Was so down and out
Now so up and in
Yeah roped in
So roped in
Into living the dream
Straight out of zombie lifestyle magazine
But I’m coming out
Yeah I’m coming out
Be it hell or high water
Flood or a drought
I’m coming out
So meet me outside of opiate den
And love me, love me
As hard as you can
And take whatever you need from me
I’m still your post-human man
Politicized is the sacred
Politicized is profane
Politicized that which cannot be even explained
Politicized is every human who somehow dares
Not to partake in post-human affairs
Then one day your Psychaida flies in
And say “hey buddy, where the hell have you been?”
Well, I’ve been living the dream
Straight out of zombie lifestyle magazine
But I’m coming out
I’m coming out
Be it hell or high water
Flood or a drought
I’m coming out
So meet me outside of opiate den
And love me, love me
As hard as you can
And take whatever you need from me
I’m still your post-human man
Psych-aida Psych-aida Psych-aida
hiya heya heya
Psych-aida Para-Psych-aida Psych-aida
hiya heya heya
Then one day your Psych-aida flies in
And say “hey buddy, where the hell have you been?”
I’ve been living the dream
Straight out of zombie lifestyle magazine
But I’m coming out
I’m coming out
Be it flood or a drought
Then one day your Psychaida flies in
And say “hey buddy, where the hell have you been?”
Well, I’ve been living the dream
Straight out of zombie lifestyle magazine
So meet me outside of opiate den
And love me
As much as you can
And take whatever you need from me
But don’t cut out on me
I need you here

Knack for life
What it is what it is what is it?
Knack for life
Can I get a hint?
Knack for life
Done gone missing
Knack for life
It’s been out of print
My grandma told me
When you pick a new friend
Try to picture if he still be there at the end
Way past the sound of that old chopper
Gonna bring about the first copper
Knack for life
What it is what it is what is it?
Knack for life
Can I get a hint?
Knack for life
Done gone missing
Knack for life
It’s been out of print
Her sweet old-timer told me
If you drop bread on the floor
What’s picked up fast ain’t fallen
And it won’t count as beastie
And I believe him
He came home from 4 year war
And on the top of that
He lived another 60
Have you had a 1000 years
You could of built your arc
Society hidden rules you would crack
But the way that you kid yourself
With your young beauty self
You cheating yourself out of that knack
Knack for life
What it is what it is what is it?
Knack for life
Can I get a hint?
Knack for life
Done gone missing
Maybe there’s reason
Why it’s out of print
In devastation central
Report of stolen gold
And the grandest canyon
Is between the young and old
But how long can you run a nation
On a steady diet of old-timer discrimination?
Knack for life
What it is what it is what is it?
Knack for life
Can I get a hint?
Knack for life
Come on get on with it
Maybe there’s reason
Why it’s out of print
Have you had a 1000 years
To figure it all out
And society’s hidden rules you would crack
But the way that you kill yourself
To sonder your lineage
You cheating yourself out of that knack
Knack for life

Live and learn
I wanna live and learn with you
Spin around the sun together
See the whole thing through
Maybe with you as my life affiliate
I won’t have to die a lonely idiot
So if fun loving idiot savant the one you want
Don’t scare away babe
The savant part
If fun loving idiot savant the one you want
Don’t scare away babe
The savant part
Here comes the fall
It never fails to make me lazy
All big ideas already left my mind
Visions of crowded summer
Seem to be so hazy
Hard to believe I was the wandering kind
Ain’t no need ain’t no need
For silence retreat
But yummy obscurity
Is what a treat now
Maybe with you as my life affiliate
I won’t have to die a lonely idiot
So if fun loving idiot savant the kind you want
Don’t scare away babe
The savant part
They say the road dog’s
Doghouse is at home
But I’m gonna chew on that lazy bone
Cause with you as my life affiliate
I won’t have to die a lonely idiot
With you as my life affiliate in chief
We can while away any grief
Next time I’ll shave
It will be in April
Let my chest sprout
Let my beard twirl
Declare one hell of a
Seasonal Siesta Manifesto
With my favorite
Girl in the world
You know I’m always
Fishing for jubilation
Out of thin air
Will conjure it up
And forget the media
Social chlamydia
Clap clap clap clap
Who’s got the fucking clap?
Ain’t no need ain’t no need
For silence retreat
But yummy obscurity
What a treat now
Live and learn
I wanna live and learn with you
Spin around the sun together
See the whole thing through
Maybe with you
As my life affiliate
I won’t have to die a lonely idiot
If fun loving idiot savant the kind you want
Don’t scare away babe the savant part

Take only that which you can carry
Take the letters the icons
The golden replicas
And take The Wooden crucifix
We gonna run with the dogs
We gonna sleep with the cows
We gonna scoop up waters
With our bare hands
We gonna wait in the camps
And call out the dragons on banners of war
Take only that which you can carry
To the city of refugee
Вiзьми лише
Найважливiше
Вiзьми Вiзьми
Take every bit
Of all the news
Of this catastrophe
Blood on wemens hills
Exhausted guards
Covered with snow
We gonna run with the dogs
We gonna sleep with the cows
We gonna scoop up waters
With our bare hands
And take the quiet of our cemetery
Take only that which you can carry
To the city of refugee
Biзьми лише
Найважливiше
Вiзьми Вiзьми
We’ll never hear the quiet of our cemetery
So long that there won’t be enough time time time time
To check for your own name name name
In the unedited list of the dead
Unedited list of the dead
Unedited list of the dead

My Imaginary Son

Hey there kid on my shoulder
Mind your boots on my guitar
Finish already that painting
On the top of police car:
S T O O G E S
Solidarity Raw Power and Progress
That’s the message I pass on
To my imaginary son
My imaginary son
Hey there kid on my shoulder
Mind your Docs on my guitar
Finish already that painting
On the top of police car:
S T O O G E S
Solidarity Raw Power and Progress
That’s the message I pass on
To my imaginary son
Kid I was made in 70’s
Under big rusty star
But air was so full of melodies
It could heal any scar
There was always somewhere else to go
There was always someone new to know
No one ever had a car
But everyone was super star
Hey there kid on my shoulder
Them are legions we are one
Finish already that painting
On the top of police car
We go to Europe
Like it’s our kitchen
Then our Garage USA
Through Brazil heavenly gardens
Back to Gorby of Ukraine
But we both know that you and me
Is our favorite country
So the show won’t be a wreck
We gotta get back to sound check
And my imaginary son
Hey there kid on my shoulders
Them are legions we are one
Finish already that painting
On the top of police car
Finish already that painting
On the top of police car:
S T O O G E S
Raw Power and Progress
That’s the message I pass on
To my imaginary son
To my imaginary son
And keep in mind the en passant

My dear good friend
Let’s not forget
That we can take down Pinotchet
Against us any gang of four
Will be on the floor
When I was younger I thought
Someday that we will win
And in another country
I will find my twin
Spread good music and poetry
Joining forces of the victory
Down in the hallways of the unknown
Where we walk alone
Inside of hospitals and morgue
Clinical loneliness backs off
If you’ll remember those before
And the ones that yet to come
Then above suffer of it all
Triumphs the union of souls
With only one thing on its mind
I can’t go on, I will go on!
With only one thing on its mind
I can’t go on, I will go on!
I can’t go on, I will go on!

Fire On Ice Floe
04:50

Dance dance dance
Around the fire
Fire on ice floe
Nobody cares if you know it all
Nobody wants what they can’t control
But dance dance dance
Around the fire
So much to do
For nowhere to go
So much to say
For not much to know
Located directly in the greater unknown
We dance dance dance
Around the fire
Fire on ice floe
Dance dance dance
Around the fire
Fire on ice floe
What is this fire that’s binding as all
Disentanglement baby
That’s another way to go
See if you can get cozy on
On top of that mountain
There is always deeper picture
There is always deeper angle
But you pick the one
The one that you can handle
For now
As the rest awaits to dance with you
Pyrotechnic Zacharius
In the Age of Aquarius
Sitting up smoke machine
Next life we all hit the prime
But under these names
And under these stars
This is that one and only time
We dance dance dance
Around the fire
Fire on ice floe
Dance dance dance
Around the fire
Floating on ice floe
heading to netral waters
Out of despair?
Dancing on melting ice floe
We half way there
It’s a domestic and same time foreign affair
There is always bigger picture
There is always deeper level
But you just pick the one
The one that you can handle
For now…
As the rest awaits the dance
Pyrotechnic Zacharius
In the Age of Aquarius
Is setting up smoke machine
So next life we all hit the prime
But under these names
And under these stars
This is that one and only time we
We dance dance dance
Around the fire
Fire on ice floe
dance dance dance
Around the fire
Fire on ice floe

Gut Guidance
03:31
|

Hola my friend
Sweet brother man
Look, what if this is it
You chopped enough wood
It’s yet to be lit
If you don’t know what to do
There is nothing to be done
And nothing to undo
But wait for your gut guidance
To come straight to you
Yeah yeah yeah
Highways, byways, and neuropathways
If you’re going with your gut
You are going my way
Highways, byways, and neuropathways
If you’re going with your gut
You are going my way
There is nowhere to hurry
No one to convince
And if the ice is getting too thin
Gut guidance will come from within
I watched you playing
Outside of yourself
For so long you have been away
Gut guidance another touché
Yeah yeah yeah
Highways, byways, and neuropathways
If you’re going with your gut
You are going my way
Highways, byways, and neuropathways
If you’re going with your gut
You are going my way
And I already hear you say
“What if my gut is leading me astray?”
And you don’t know what to do
And things are getting heart-attacky
Well you know how it is
In cold tundra nights
You think it’s wind a-howlin’
But it’s Pallas Cats
Sipping on hot sake
This way is well understood by some men
This way understood by young at heart
He who choose the road
Choose where it leads to
All the journeys wind up where they start
Yeah yeah yeah
Highways, byways, and neuropathways
If you’re going with your gut
You are going my way
Highways, byways, and neuropathways
If you’re going with your gut
You are going my way
And I already hear you
Hola my friend
Sweet brother man
Look, what if this is it
You chopped enough wood
It’s yet to be lit

Huckleberry Generation
02:10
|

Back when I was a Major Typhoon
Fighting crime on the streets of Laredo
My ma would call me home for a late supper
My gut was hurting from laughter and chuckle
One thing that was never there
Is a silver tray
But living in a coloring book
Of construction and ram-shackle
Sand dunes of Obolon
And soviet Babylon
Until Chernobyl nothing but sea and prairies
I’ve never met there
One single Tom Sawyer
But I sure met a lot of Huckleberries
I’ve never met there
One single Tom Sawyer
But I sure met a lot of Huckleberries
I thought that only avalanche force
Could ever stop us
And look at all of them now
Ain’t no hоbbled us by pair of office slacks
One thing that was never there
Is a silver tray
But living in construction and ram-shackle
Sand dunes of Obolon
And soviet Babylon
Until Chernobyl pop goes the cherry
I’ve never met there
One single Tom Sawyer
But I sure met a lot of Huckleberries
I’ve never met there
One single Tom Sawyer
But I sure met a lot of Huckleberries
A generation of Huckleberries
You know who we are
We never gonna need
