Moonlight lights my high for my sake Puns in the oven startin’ to bake Sometimes it’s all good Does that mean it’s fake? I’m gonna climb that mountain of love Gonna row against the current up Shit’s Creek Got my hiking boots Got a paddle I don’t have a horse but I got a good saddle Let us squeeze our eyes in prayer Let us rearrange our hair Ferrying dreams across a river of air The moment ain’t gonna last I grew up maybe too fast Stay tuned The future will soon be catching up to the past Gonna write it down and tell my story Just enough gory with a lot of glory I say what I want Sometimes it’s just about the font My cosmopolitan do-si-do Bustin’ up the mirror in my wry chapeau Login to my noggin if I have the time Poop a little irony into the rhyme
Hot And Dry

----------------------------------------------- There's desire in your eye and combat in your high Let's call it greed. Let's call it off There's something else you need I'm not in this for the therapy I'm not paying for your vanity I'm not your private piece of the rock
Chorus: You mistake me for the rain 'Cause you're hot and dry I'm not the rain I'm no't what you need Love's not here to make us bleed When you know who you are When you know what to call your pain You'll see me around And we'll stare down the eye of your hurricane Till then... stop calling me
There's a knot to be untied when the spirit is denied So let's set it free. Let's let it go It's best to say goodbye I don't want a love that's out of key Lots of rhythm but no harmony The kind that comes with a chain and lock
words & music: Polar Levine vocals & instruments: Polarity/1 produced by Polarity/1 ------------------------------------------------ We are tremendous, the top of the heap Lobbying the gods when they're trying to sleep Codifying every shade of our blues Pinning all the blame on the you-know-whos We’re on a holy mission: get laid and paid And be righteous too That’s how we’re made
Chorus: Cause we believe Yeah We believe I believe we got a pile of stress to relieve So we believe Uh huh We believe We all believe we’re puffin’ on a bona fide peeve We're tallying our deficits in disappearing ink Everyone believes their shit don't stink
My tribe is the best And my country, my hood Now some won't agree but I believe they should They won't see the light Got some goddamn gumption They're out there eatin’ children or somethin' I wanna reach out, help em understand Troll em to the runway where I think they should land
Chorus: ‘Cause we believe Yeah, we believe I do believe we got some stress to relieve So we believe Uh huh We believe Our senses should be telling us we’ve taken leave Our cuteness and the universe are all in synch Every one believes their shit don't stink
Politics is complex So let’s make it a game Pundits with updates on which group to blame Inconvenience is tyranny Call in the musketeers And a psycho demagogue to surf our fears We’re migrants in a land of customized truth Where we’re great again or woke in eternal youth
Chorus:‘ Cause we believe Yeah, we believe We got a crazy mess of stress to relieve < So we believe Uh huh We believe that what we want is all there is to perceive God is up there laughin' with a devilish wink Watchin’ us believe that our shit don't stink

I was born in the winter on a chilly day Eighty degrees and going down The sun was laughin' as it dropped away Behind the Statue of Liberty's crown The New York Yankees were a baseball team From my home town so long ago Before they left to go way up north Where sometimes in winter they still get snow
Chorus: One more rain... One more rain... One more day of rain... You can see out the window all you need to know The water's rising, it's time to go
Mama reached New York at a real young age From a place called San Antonio Grabbed her dolly while the water's rage Busted the gates of the Alamo
So many left and moved up here Broke and muddy, without a home An empty old ruin is where they'd stay Till old Yankee Stadium got washed away
Chorus Way far back, a scared little boy Crossed the ocean on a mighty ship A giant green lady said, "Now you're home" Pointed to Manhattan with her fingertip
I read all about the old Broadway People used to walk there, right on the ground Now that giant lady the little boy saw Is standing in the water up to her jaw
Chorus
My grandma told it a hundred times They warned for years 'bout the coming change Politicians did nothing while it all got worse Puppies on the leash of the corporate purse
Chorus: One more rain... One more rain... One more day of rain... You can see out the window all you need to know The water is rising, it's time to go One more rain... One more rain... One more day of rain... You can see out the window all you need to know Take a last look around, it's time to go
I was born in the winter on a chilly day Eighty degrees and going down Never been that cold since then I'm tired of thinkin' bout what might've been

It was George Jones, James Brown Coltrane, Celia Cruz Rock and rap and ragas, flamenco, reggae, blues What kind of horn did Bird play? Who wrote Blue Suede Shoes? Daddy was an asshole. There are no undos
Chorus: Daddy was an asshole. Today he is the same Had music in his belly and pictures in his brain He made me practice every day Each day I'd hate him more Made me laugh on his good days But an asshole evermore
Picasso and the cubists and Salvador Dali Dada and abstraction and anthropology Metaphors and dinosaurs, philosophers and funk Daddy was an asshole and I hate all his junkThen I had my own son. I swore I'd do it right Gave him video games and candy bars Cartoons and Bud Lite I taught him how to monster burp Steal bicycles and fight Now he's making fuckin sculptures And bangin' drums all night
My kid, he's an asshole, and I'm an asshole's son Three green peas in a green pea soup I'm the only normal one I pimp roll in Armani and subprime is my trade Daddy was an asshole, but me - I'm gettin' paid

Do it, do it - be The One Do it. Yeah, you be The One Go on - be The One

Jailbirds high over sleepy lagoon

Loose-fitting jockeyshorts yellow with sperm Take-out chop suey goes down like a worm
Oh oh oh goin' down
Chorus: Oh Mama, Mommy let me come home I won't steal your jewelry no more Take me home My deal's goin' down;it ain't goin' slow Swing that Kaddish, baby Sweet and low
Slow gin canasta in a smokey room

I'm waitin' for some cash from the Fat Man uptown

My baby's lips
Seranwrap and the Longines Symphonette
All this good stuff in the free world you can get
But it ain't enough It ain't enough
Can't get enough
Looks like you need a buff. You need a buff
Looks like the man needs to buff his stuff
Chorus: Step back! Take a look at yourself
Look up in the air Look into your heart
Look at your shoeshine
Look at your shoeshine Can you see yourself in your shoeshine?
Pay good money
For the suede patches on the elbows of your suit
A smart man Got tenure, God knows
All the liberal and conservative superstitions
Got all the answers and the positions
Cerebral bumps and grinds
Cold analyze the headlines
But the man in the cardboard boudoir wants to know
Can you slurp your degree on the soupline?
Chorus
Flip that channel ZING! Cold rush to the brain
The funny guy on the news is predicting pain
Doing the dirty deed by the light of the TV set
Everybody wants that sweet thang
Everybody wants to forget
Are we looking young? Are we well hung?
Tell me, are we buffed?
Do you think we've shopped enough?
Are we fast-tracked, laugh-tracked?
faxed, waxed, Compact?
Are we infotained?
Do we need that clown with the map to tell us
To come in out of the rain? I say -

He's just a salesman with a cheap toup on.
Just a salesman with a cheap toup on
He cry and holler and sing a song
And when it's over, grandma's dough is gone
He got a wife, painted and sprayed
Got a wife, painted and sprayed
She holds his bible, she's gettin' paid
She turned her lemon into lemonade
His fingers are hairy but his nails are clean.
Fingers are hairy but his nails are clean
See how they wiggle on the tv screen
Play like a fiddle on a girl of fifteen
Chorus: Just a salesman with a cheap toup on Salesman with a cheap toup on Just a salesman with a cheap toup on He cries and hollers and sings a song
Sends you a prayer cloth - if you pay
A free prayer cloth - if you pay
He prays for a hot tub, a Rolls and a lay
He's sellin' heaven the very next day
Wishes his wife and his children were gone.
Picked up his girlfriend at the beauty salon
Took her to Vegas like a high class John.
He's just a salesman with a cheap toup on
Chorus
He killed a homo in a bar last night
Did it for Jesus and he thought it's all right
He's not afraid 'cause he's a man and he's white
But watch him sweat at a flashing strobe light
His wife is lonely - her name is Lenore
She ain't had none since '94
Startin' to wonder if she's lost her allure
Today she heard about his cute little whore
She bought a gun from a junkie named Juan.
Went to the chapel - everybody was gone
The barrel is firm Her dress is chiffon.
In walks her salesman with his cheap toup on

It is known that we have been abused
But now you think the world
Is owing you some kind of dues
Now you lie, but you told me you were fair
There's vengeance in your smile
And your love has just grown weak and bare
Now I no longer feel that we're bound
But when I sleep you call to me, Israel
When I sleep you call to me, Israel
Through the years we were the chosen few
Who were given the message
Look what hatred can do
Now your armies are chewing up the land
Disowning your own brothers
While your valley is turning back to sand
The dove won't fly
Your arrogance has chained it to the ground
But when I sleep you call to me, Israel
When I sleep you call to me, Israel
Chorus: You cut through my veins
You're in my bone
You're in my blood
But you'll never be my home
You cut through my veins
You're in my bone
You're in my blood
And you won't leave me alone
You cut through my veins. You're in my bone
You're in my blood. But you'll never disown me
You can't disown me You shed your blood
You're shedding the blood
And I know you're not alone

He's up on a mountain with his bush a-burnin'
Was he sucking on Yvonne's toes?
While girl sits home all toss and turnin'
Cold compress and a dose of religion
A yen to confess what's in her bones
Shopping for shoes in lieu of livin'
Then bolt the door and get on with jones
Stairwell dank in the cold of summer
Love is hard. No love's a bummer
I know
Chorus: Love is hard Lovelorn Love is hard Shopworn Got to slow down Got to slow down
Slow down to get born
Moses suits up, shoots up the fast lane
Swims upstream in digital pool
Knocking down pussy like lines of cocaine
A gut full of gimme and a mouth full of drool
Sweet sixteen in the neighbor's yard
Someone else's buns in the oven
Mo is whackin' the doggie hard
Twenty times two but no real lovin'
Love is hard where the fun is easy
Heart gets tired while the nose gets greasy
I know

---------------------------------------------- Two times two A dog named Lou A smack across the chin A needle, thread and pin
I'm talking to my mother She's talking to her little brother He was sixty when he died a few years ago The numbers on her meter are all aglow She's technically alive. Two times two is five
A wagon full of fruit. Laughing in her bathing suit She can't get up or walk to the bathroom Now she's screaming, "I lived a life, now I'm ready to go, please let me go Those bastards say No. Where's Lou? Who the hell are you?"
The dog named Lou The kangaroo The dolphins jump and dive The bees in their hive They don't waste a minute pondering Who put them there, they're just being alive
They don't need tales about eternity Or comforting mythology They don't impose sanctity To force her heart to pump until it's Too late... too late To hold us in her arms and say goodbye A room full of strangers - we watch her crumble and die
