Mesmerize Me

Last night we lay drenched with waters
Rising and falling in lustrous blue
And your face is pale and moist with
Morning dew
I have never seen this place
She's inviting me to stay
Words unspoken we relate
Followed directions
Hearts did sway
Mesmerize me
Mesmerize me
Mesmerize me
Ride the rising wave
Of free-form tide
We tremble
The pass of breeze ripples along your reflection
The next breath is a bare disturbance
The pacific smile
Laps at the edges of your face
In lustrous rouge
Let's slip back beneath the sunlit waters
To ecstasy
Mesmerize me
Mesmerize me
Mesmerize me

Dreamy High School Crush
03:48

Mirrors cracked,
beliefs soarin' slowly,
My own shame it drove me insane.
No control,
my will was dominated,
Screaming at myself to behave.
Judges watched,
so I crawled into cages,
Waiting for their eyes to decay.
Changing face,
new appearance and mind,
Radically adjusted my ways.
No, no I don't want to ignore, i want to restore,
Constant Elation.

Judge in the Valley

Kick me up into the sky or up into the mountain
Doesn't matter how hard it is
I only care about the passion
She's got a monkey in her hand
it can't move
I got monkey in my hand
it can move
Set me up on a date with a monkey
Doesn't matter how hard it is
I only care about the passion
He's got a mountain in his hand
it can't move
I've got a mountain in my hand
Sure as hell it won't move
Sure as hell it won't move
Sure as hell it won't
Lift me up to the judge in the valley
Doesn't matter how hard they is
I only care about the passion
They've got nothing in their hand
it can't move
I've got nothing in my hand

I. Sun shower
Southern sky in late November
Blue and warm, do you remember
Santa Ana winds were blowing
Whispers through your hair
But for now
I freeze
At North
December
And dream of your smiling face
And in dreams your eyes reflect these
Irises of retrospection
Your sandy form is welcoming
The end to all my cares
But for now
In rain
That tries to drown me
I'm clothed by your smiling face
Sunlit drops of crystal rain
Explode in pleasure from the pain of
Isolated Saturday
And yesterday's forgotten mirth
Is streaming out, for what it's worth
I wish your lips could speak the same as mine
I wish these dreams they could direct
Melodic contours could reflect
Dotted notes they could connect
Our bodies in the shifting sands
Electric pulse between our hands
Daybreak at your lips
Passing sunrise from your lips
To mine
But in mirror fragments we reside
Shattered by pacific tide
Separately our hearts abide
For now
In rain
I close my eyes
And dream of your smiling face
II. Nostalgia
You are confusing me
With a memory
Remember
To forget
What you thought you knew
III. Recollection
I've seen these dreams direct
Melodic contours reflect
And felt dotted notes connect
Our bodies in the shifting sand
With electric pulse between our hands
Daybreak at your lips
Passing sunrise
from your lips
to mine
(Dream of your smiling face)

Ride On Home
05:10
|

You woke up in the morning
With a fever in your eye
So you went to see the doctor to see
If she could empathize
You came home from the appointment
Doctored up for sure
So you found another doctor and you
Opened up the drawer
You've got to ride on home
Ride on home
You felt yourself a feeling
A feeling you never had
Caught up in a feeling and it
Made you so glad
So you wrote yourself a letter
A letter you never wrote
You read yourself that letter
It was nothing but a note
You've got to ride on home
Ride on home
It is the darkest hour and you
Lay down in your bed
It's so hard to fall asleep with all these
Visions in your head
Your nightmare's a reality
Your life's a living dream
No notion of causality
It's not a pretty scene
You've got to ride on home
Ride on home
You have to quell your condition so you
Burst out of your home
It's six-thirty in the morning and you
Climb the street alone
You realize once you're up there
You've been down for quite a while
The sun is rising on the bay
Your face lights up and smiles
You've got to ride on home
Ride on home

Wheel On recommends:
A klezmer side-project of Wheel On. We play at co-op/Hillel events where dancing is the name of the game. Klezmer is an emotive Eastern-European Jewish-gypsy folk music.

And amazing feat of swaying grooves, with Nate's haunting falsetto floating above in an impressive largely-DIY production. Been loving WATERSTRIDER from the start.
