"The Basic Cosmos" Introduction

The Moon, she was stoned-red that night of the winter solstice. A night when the sky was dark and the winds were still.

The large copper marble that she was held high to the North; her horns ominous of the times at hand.

For this night, the dream was dead, and his faith awaited the ultimate test.

A rebirth was to come, and with it, growth would follow.

But first, a series of trials and tribulations.

A blessing it could be if he is true to heart and strong of will.

Only time would tell.

And she, the Moon, crimson and cold on this lunar eclipse - the very cause to his madness... or the cure to his dreams.

i say - beat-box

there's an old man sittin by the side of the road
he's got a sign in his hand and he's askin for dough
i hand him a granola bar, say, "here you go
if you really that hungry you just let me know
i got the food stamps with plenty of flow
all we got to do is walk to the store."

he says: (beat-boxing)

walkin by the bandshell there's food not bombs
they servin up soup that's as good as my mom's
with home-made zucchini bread we try to stay calm
cause the rumble in our tummies is soundin the alarm
they say the veggies came from the mountain farm
even the greens we can smoke from the bong

we say: (beat-boxing)

now i'm all stoned with a full stomach
i say, "peace out," and i make it quick
cause i just want to jam on my harmonic
buskin the street gettin paid jack shit
but i'm writin many songs i think are legit
only gettin the eye from the girls that are thick

they say: (beat-boxing)

so the night's comin on and i better get goin
my spots blown up and the police are showin
don't matter bout that it's already snowin
and i got to find a gorilla spot, no one's knowin
to bunker down real quick and keep on showin
that this is a life that keeps on rollin

i say: (beat-boxing)

get me to san franciso - harmonica song #2

gonna hop me a train to get me to san franciso.
gonna hop me a train to get me to san franciso.
gonna hop me a train to get me there. it's been so long, too much to bear.
gonna hop me a train to get me to san franciso.

the law's got me and now i can't leave this town.
the law's got me and now i can't leave this town.
the law's got me but not for long. soon enough, baby, i'll be gone.
the law's got me and now i can't leave this town.

the weather's gettin better and all i want to do is ramble.
the weather's gettin better and all i want to do is ramble.
the weather's gettin better to busk on the street. i gotta get out and scratch my feet.
the weather's gettin better and all i want to do is ramble.

you can count on it i will miss you baby.
you can count on it i will miss you baby.
you can count on it but what's to do? i'll sit right here and give a kiss to you.
you can count on it i will miss you baby.

gonna hop me a train to get me to san franciso.
gonna hop me a train to get me to san franciso.
gonna hop me a train to get me there. it's been so long, too much to bear.
gonna hop me a train to get me to san franciso.
