The BLACK ROGUE

The Black Rogue
In the valley of the Moyar
Lived an elephant like this world has never known
He was black and he was hairy
He was peaceful till they shot him in his spine.
Full of fury full of vengeance
The elephant now charges towards the little town
And his feet fell just like thunder
With his trumpet blasting through the jungle trees!
In the town...
Bicycles and broken bodies lying all around
Bicycles and broken bodies lying all around
In the ruins of the village
Heaps of limbs and lifeless bodies all around
Back in Delhi great white hunter
boards the train and promises to kill the rogue
Great white hunter in the jungle
tracks the black rogue though it almost runs him down
And his feet fell just like thunder
And his trumpet blasting through the jungle trees
In the town...
Bicycles and broken bodies lying all around
Bicycles and broken bodies lying all around
In the darkness of the jungle
the elephant now re-a-lizes he must die
Now the black rogue in the quick sand
blasts his trumpet as he sinks to meet his doom
Great white hunter in the shadows
shoots the black rogue ending all his miseries
And his shots rang out like thunder
with his rifle blasting through the jungle trees
In the town...
Bicycles and broken bodies lying all around
Bicycles and broken bodies lying all around.

BONACON

Bonacon
Some people betray you
They'll seem so nice--then drag you down!
You know some creatures will chase you...
do not chase the bonacon!
Some monsters will take you,
They'll seize your throat with foaming jaws!
You know some scoundrels will fake you!
Do not chase the bonacon!
I tell you this my son,
Be sure the thing you're chasing
is not a bonacon!
Some things are worth pursuing
Beneath the burning sun...
Be sure the thing you're chasing
is not a bonacon!
Some creatures will maul you
They'll tear your flesh with gleaming claws!
You know some evil will call you,
answer not the bonacon!
Some villains will spite you, they'll lay in wait
Then strike you down
You know some brigands will fight you.
Do not fight the bonacon.
Get this in your mind
The evil of the bonacon
is what it leaves behind!
When you see it fleeing
Get this in your mind...
The evil of the bonacon
is what it leaves behind!

Holly's Holothurian Dream
Holl-y came from El Pas-o
Went to school at U of O.
Found her passion was the sea
Loved marine biology
Then one day along the shore
upon the sandy ocean the floor
A spineless creature called her name
and Holly never was the same...
Now she's dreaming holothurian dreams (when she's dreaming!)
Thinking holothurian things (when she's thinking!)
Singing holothurian things (when she's singing).
Dreaming holothurian dreams (when she's sleeping)
Something in it's symetry...
It's ten-ta-cles, it's tube-like feet
It''s perfect brainless neural ring
made poor Holly want to sing
Of Aquapharyngeal bulb
and even polian vesicle!
Of luminal epithelial cell
and second mesothelial
Now she's dreaming holothurian dreams (when she's dreaming!)
Thinking holothurian things (when she's thinking!)
Singing holothurian things (when she's singing).
Dreaming holothurian dreams (when she's sleeping)

HELLBENDER REIGN
Beneath the stone
In turbid stream,
upon his throne
Hellbender dreams.
Of cleaner days
and darker nights;
of arthropod
and hellgrammite.
Etc.
Seek not the sun
Hellbender!
Amphibian king
beneath the stone!
Seek not the sun
salamander!
In Satan's fire
you walk alone
Hellbender eye
reflects the moon.
Hellbender's time
is coming soon!
Seek not the sun
Is our refrain.
Thy will be done!
Hellbender reign!
Etc.
Seek not the sun
Hellbender!
Amphibian king
beneath the stone!
Seek not the sun,
salamander!
In Satan's fire
you walk alone
Seek not the sun,
hellbender!
Will you survive
the human race?
Who is to blame,
Polluter?
Hellbender's plight...
Is your disgrace!
Etc.

God made elephant big and stout
Wasn't satisfied till he gave him great big snout
Gave him a snout that was as long as a rail
Wasn't satisfied till he gave him a great long tail
Gave him a tail that was to fan them flies
Wasn't' satisfied till he gave him some great big um eyes
Gave him some eyes that was too raggedy sad,
Wasn't satisfied till he gave him a big fat ass.
He gave him an ass, the ass made him sick,
wasn't satisfied till eh gave him a big dik dik.
Gave him a dik dik and the dik dik made him sick,
the dik dik made him well, you know about that!
He was a fuckin!

Eddie One String was a one string man.
Played his one string with a steady hand.
All you women stand in line
Shake your little hind parts like I shake mind.
Shake it up
Shake it down
Shake it all around the town.
Shake it baby
Shake it down!
Shake it baby!
Shake it all around!

Wingless DOVE
04:27
|

In the age of the ice worm
Under the mountain
I was the bastard
Son of the king
My mother was banished
we knew starvation
While all my brothers
knew gluttony.
But then the great war came
my brothers were slaughtered
The king on his death bed
called out my name.
Wingless dove
Wingless dove
Wingless dove
Wingless dove
As he lay dying
I kneeled down beside him
These were his words
I'll make them quite plain:
“Son, I am dying
You must avenge me
That is your duty
To father and king.”
“When my assassin
stabbed me with his blade
Tattooed on his wrist was
A dove with no wings!”
Wingless dove
Wingless dove
Wingless dove
Wingless dove
I promised to bring him
this tatooed assassin,
if only he would
restore mother's name
This he agreed to
And made it official,
and stamped it in gold:
“decree of the king”
Then as he choked
on the poison I fed him
I showed him my tatoo...
A dove with no wings!
Wingless dove
Wingless dove
Wingless dove
Wingless dove

the last HORSE on earth

The last horse on earth
walks out across the range
He ain't got no sadd-le!
He ain't got no name!
The last horse on earth
walks out across the range
he ain't got no saddle
he ain't got no name
The last horse on earth
goes where he wants to go
doesn't need to gallop
He just walks real slow.
The last horse on earth
walks out across the range
He ain't got no sadd-le!
He ain't got no name!
The last horse on earth
recalls the Pleistocene
before the whip and bridle
before the cavalry.
The last horse on earth
Acts like he owns the place
Can't find a single member
Of the human race.
The last horse on earth
walks out across the range
He ain't got no sadd-le!
He ain't got no name!
The last horse on earth
enjoys the solitude
And yet he hears the echo
Of the multitude.

Kirk's Dik Dik Moss Beach, California
What started as a tuba/mandolin garage jam session quickly mutated into the full-blown tuba/guitar rock experience you now behold. Named after the world's smallest antelope, Bay Area music scene veterans, Kirk Lombard and Cary Kirk (Rube Waddell, Kemo Sabe), conflated their names into the mighty Kirk's Dik Dik. Don't let the size of the Madoqua fool you. There's nothing subtle about this Dik Dik ... more
