2.A Conspiracy

Lyricist:Christopher Mar Robinson, Rich S. Robinson

Look here

Did you ever hear the one about last year
Said, it was all a lie, ain't it funny how the time flies
Said, what we gonna do baby, what is left for us to prove

I've never stolen nothing, no, not a thing
Still I always tried to stay away form this year's big thing
It ain't as easy as it seems to find a mutual dream

Well, can you tell me wrong from right?
Well, do you know when to freeze or take flight?
And you tell me more or less, I got to know, confess

Oh yes, don't neglect me, no no
Come on and be, be my conspiracy, yeah
No no, don't neglect me, baby
Come on and be, be my conspiracy, yeah

So now you'd got a question about your answer, yeah yeah yeah
But try your Adam's apple, oh, you talk it, try and like it,
right
outside

I got tradition, it's an addition
My definition it don't hold me back
Well, what you think about that
What you don't understand
This is a very old land

So can you tell me wrong from right
Come on, do you know when to freeze or take flight
Can you tell me more or less 'cause I got to know, confess, yeah

Say, don't neglect me, no no
Come on and be, be my conspiracy
No no, baby, don't neglect me
Just come to, come on be my, my conspiracy, yeah

Got to know, baby, I got to know, can you tell me wrong from
right?
Do you, do you know when to freeze or take flight?
Can you tell me more or less, I got to know, confess

Don't neglect me, no no
Come on and be, be my conspiracy, yeah
I'd tell her, no no, don't neglect me, baby
Because I want her to be my conspiracy

I feel, no, don't neglect me, baby
'Cause I want you to be my conspiracy
I tell you and I tell you, and I tell you
And I pray and I pray every night
And every night, conspiracy, yeah


3.Nonfiction

Lyricist:Christopher Mar Robinson, Rich S. Robinson

I don't know my telephone number
But you kiss good and I'd like to see you tomorrow
And I don't beg, I pay, I don't barter
If we had a child I'd like a son, not a daughter
No she'd be just like you you know that would not do

I'm no builder, I'm no gardener I sing some songs
Have a friend who's a photographer
There ain't no other language I know how to speak
Some like their water shallow and I like mine deep so very deep
Tied to the bottom with a noose around my feet

Clouds conspire above my head
I overheard them say I wish he was dead
Today the sunset burned my eyes
In the next room I hear someone cry

I like to dress up like the jury
To eat like a king, to poke fun at clergy
To talk like dirt to love you like tar
But never fall in too fast with my north star, no no no
While you pull your hair out I buy the drinks at the bar

Clouds conspire above my head
I overheard them say I wish he was dead
Today the sunset burned my eyes
In the next room I hear someone cry


4.Cursed Diamond

Lyricist:Christopher Mar Robinson, Rich S. Robinson

I lose myself, I forget myself
Sometimes, I fault myself
Yes, and I might fight myself
But then I, but I make amends

I freeze myself
Said, I rain on myself
Okay, so I stone myself
And I might even find myself

Yeah, well, can one person here
Tell me what happens?
Yeah, can you tell me what happens if I do?
So unzip my pride, yeah, baby, open me up wide
So I can show this to you

I wanna shine for you
Babe, I wanna sparkle too
Till you're just like a diamond, cursed
You know it don't get worse
You know I'll save you time
Your trouble now is mine

Hold me, baby, hold me, girl
And I'll laugh with you
Girl, if you want me to
Roll me in your splendor
I'll envy your surrender
Show, show you victory

Said, I hate myself
But doesn't everybody hate themselves
So, I scare myself
But it is alright and I tell myself

So I let the poison go
'Cause, baby, I'll always know
It'll be right there for me

I wanna shine for you
Wanna sparkle too
Just like a diamond, cursed
You know it don't get worse
You know I'll save you time
Trouble now is mine

Hold me, baby, hold on to me, girl
And I'll laugh with you
Well if you want me to
Roll me in your splendor
I'll envy your surrender
Show you victory

Girl, I wanna shine for you
Baby, I wanna sparkle too
Now take it just like a diamond, cursed
You know it don't get worse
You know I'll save you time
Trouble now is mine

Hold me, baby, hold me, girl
And I'll laugh with you
Well, if you want me to
So roll me in your splendor
I'll envy your surrender
Show, show you victory
Yes, I will


5.Wiser Time

Lyricist:Christopher Mar Robinson, Rich S. Robinson

No time left now for shame
Horizon behind me, no more pain
Wind swept stars blink and smile
Another song, another mile, ohh woo oh

You read the line every time
Ask me about crime in my mind
You ask me why another road song
Funny but I bet you never left home

And on a good day, well I know it ain't every day
We can part the sea
And on a bad day, well I know it ain't every day
Glory beyond our reach

Fourteen seconds 'til sunrise
Tired but wiser for the time
Lightnin' thirty miles away
Three thousand more in two days

And on a good day, well I know it ain't every day
We can part the sea
And on a bad day, well I know it ain't every day
Glory beyond our reach

And on a good day, well I know it ain't every day
We can part the sea
And even on a bad day, well I know it ain't every day
Glory beyond our reach

While on a good day, well I know it ain't every day
We can part the sea
And while on a bad day, well I know it ain't every day
Glory beyond our reach


6.Song of the Flesh

Lyricist:Christopher Mar Robinson, Rich S. Robinson

Curse the wicked whisper here in this ear
Make my honey
Grind that salt before the rains come this year
To make it all muddy

So now you have called
And now you want to wring my neck
Oh baby you talk so tight
Tell me now, who's all wet?

I could kiss
Your promiscuous mind

My flesh is yours and there is nothing to fear
Make us all alone
Wind your watch and bless all my prayer
Make ready to get home

Oh now you get so hard
Now you wring my neck
And now you wanna talk so tight
Tell me, who's all wet?

I could kiss
Your promiscuous mind
I could kiss
Your promiscuous mind, yes I could

I have four lone stars that you have given me
Yeah and why don't you give it baby?
Well, the feeling you're giving baby
Tell me, what you give away
You give it, you give it, give it


7.Ballad In Urgency

Lyricist:Christopher Robinson, Rich Robinson

Here with me
And this price you pay
Just a wishful dream could be blown away

Ask yourself better or for worse
Because what's the use, if it's just good luck
Good luck

A black cat has crossed my path
Tell me what's good luck about that

Hate and greed
Swollen and sweet
Let's start this misery
If that's where you wanna be
Fear and love
From down or from up above
Come to me
Come to me
I beg you please
Come set me free

Excuse me please
For my definition
But deeper still, my conviction

Urgently I wait to hear an answer
While I misconduct
A sad, sad lost anthem
So sad

An anthem like you never have heard
Have you heard something so absurd yea

Hate and greed
Swollen and sweet
Let's start this misery
If that's where you wanna be
You believe me

With my hate and a greed
Well we're swollen and sweet
If you wanna start this misery
Well you mean a place where you wanna be
With the fear and the love
From the hear and from up above
Come up to me yea
Come on to me
Well I beg you please
Set me free


8.Tied Up And Swallowed

Lyricist:Christopher Robinson, Rich S Robinson

I forgot I found you tied up and swallowed
A mess with the magic and the knot
You touch my teeth and say you like the way I bite ya
Sin, skin, sounds wrong but it's not

Everybody says you're such a pity
Well baby, they ought to know
Everybody says you're such a pity
Well baby, they ought to know

Oh there, touch from up above and touch between your legs
But which one, baby, burns?
You've been touched so many times, so many ways
Tell me, baby, who gets hurt?

Everybody says you're such a pity
Well baby, they ought to know, yeah
Everybody says you're such a pity
Oh baby, they ought to know

Everybody says you're such a pity
Tell ya, baby, they ought to know
Everybody says you're such a pity
Tell ya, baby, they ought to know

Everybody says you're such a pity
Oh, they ought to know
Everybody says you're such a pity
Well baby, they ought to know


9.Downtown Money Waster

Lyricist:Christopher Mar Robinson, Rich S. Robinson

Low down
Downtown money waster
Where your saving grace?
Is that I like to taste you
But your flower is spoiled
Too easy to make you
You got a thirty eight and your book of revelations
I got a forty four and load of temptation

Well I'm allrounder
Like to round all 'round, oh oh
Say, well I'm allrounder, yes I am
And I like to round all 'round

Baby, two for one at the store on the corner
Little girl like to drink and sniffin' powder
Like the bars that stay open after hours
Like the boys that go, o four two four seven
Too many late nights and you don't go to Heaven

I am a allrounder
Like to round all 'round now
Yes I do, well I'm allrounder, oh yeah
Like to round all 'round
Get down, get down

To my low down
Downtown money waster
Your saving grace
Was that I like to taste you
But your flower is spoiled
Too easy to make you

Well I am allrounder
Got to round all 'round now
Yes I do, I'm allrounder, baby
Got to round all 'round now
Just got to


10.She Gave Good Sunflower

Lyricist:Christopher Mar Robinson, Rich S. Robinson

I've been lost in the headlights
All night long
I said I've felt taller
Yes I heard the dealer's song

Said babe don't mark me absent
I only missed out by a fraction
Be the sun that bursts through my clouds
It's hard enough just living on this ground

Say don't pretend to me
Oh I beg and I plead, your sunflower I need
Thought nothing would surprise me
I was wrong now I see come on baby and just do me
Said if you please

This made me reminiscing
About the honey we made
I feel warm in your blizzard
And your flood I crave

I won't abuse my anger
I promise you no lecture
Come be the sun bursting through my clouds
It's hard enough just living on the ground

Say don't pretend to me
I beg and I plead, your sunflower I need
Thought nothing would surprise me
I was wrong now I see come on baby and just do me

Say don't pretend to me
Oh I beg and I plead, your sunflower I need
I thought nothing would surprise me
I was wrong but now I see

I see I might have made a mistake baby
Because I love you
Because I love you baby
I, I said I really do
I said I said I said
I really really really do
Well I don't wanna live without you baby
I can't live with Uncle Stakeout baby
I I I I got to do it


11.Gone

Lyricist:Christopher Mar Robinson, Rich S. Robinson

Save me, save me, baby
Save me from this season's dead air
Take, take, take me, baby
Blind, naked and scared, so scared

Want you to burn me, burn me, baby
Burn me and cover your eyes with my ashes
C'mon now why don't you pray for me, baby
Sit back and watch my divine spark flash

Gone
Good riddance I am gone
Gone, gone in a wasted way
Wasted, my way and I'm gone

So, pu-push and pull on me, baby
With your fingernails full of fur
And I want you to stab me, baby
Do it, do it, 'cause you know it don't, it don't hurt

Gone
Good riddance I am gone
Gone, in a wasted way
Wasted, my way, I'm gone

Wasted, oh

Jinx me, jinx me, baby
Beautiful like a fool
C'mon, c'mon and remove me, baby
Dilated and burned

Gone
Good riddance I am gone
Gone in a wasted way
Well, I tell you now

Gone
Good riddance I am gone
And I'm gone, in a wasted way
Wasted, my way, I'm gone


12.P. 25 London

Lyricist:Christopher Mar Robinson, Rich S. Robinson

I am a cobweb, yeah
In the corner of the room
I tell you I built myself a boat baby
So come on and cry me a monsoon

And get busy on it, baby yeah
Why you had to make it deep?

Imagine how surprised all the kids will be
Empty bottles, saviors they crawl
That has always been and will always be
There's a Hornet nest in my head, come and save me
Come and save me

Well if I don't say nothin'
You say now tell us what to do, do yeah
So I tell you'll this is just how I'd give you
And somebody else calls it the news

But that's yesterday
Yesterday's news

Imagine how surprised all the kids will be
Empty bottles, saviors they crawl
That has always been and will always be
There's a Hornet nest in my head, come and save me

Yeah imagine how surprised all the kids will be
Empty bottles, saviors they crawl
That has always been and will always be
There's a Hornet nest in my head, come and save me


13.High Head Blues

Lyricist:Christopher Mar Robinson, Rich S. Robinson

Sometimes I have a ghetto in my mind
And other times, sunshine, high head fine
In between I get cold, old mean
Intertwined with country pride, open and kind

This draws a line, sorry to coin a phrase
And on either side is wisdom and rage
So keeping track of time, racing with my age
Sleeping with the snakes, forget that you showed up late
It ain't worth it baby

A charmed life it is, at least they tell you so
I got a good idea, it ain't like they say is so
And if it is then let me go, let me go

Any day there might be hell to pay
But in other ways it makes it seem ok
I'll tell you what I mean, it's not a plot nor a scheme
It's just peace in my mind, again, can I use the word kind?
I ain't sorry about it baby

A charmed life it is, at least they tell you so
I got a good idea, it ain't like they say is so
And if it is then let me go, let me go, let me go


14.Descending

Lyricist:Christopher Mar Robinson, Rich S. Robinson

Have mercy baby
I'm descending again
Open your eyes baby
'Cause this time it's sink or it's swim

No sermons on ascending
No verdict on deceit
I have no selfish memorandum
No, no confusion for me
Not for me

Curses, curses and clues
Feast, feast for fools
Curses, curses and clues
Feast, feast for fools

So have mercy baby
And hand me down
Well, it was just a few years ago
You'd hand me up and a map right out of town

But I would let it slide
Slide like mercury
All silver and quick, baby
Poisonous and deadly
So deadly

Curses, curses and clues
Just a feast, feast for fools
Tell you now, curses, curses and clues
A feast, a feast for fools

Let me say curses, let me tell you no clues
Forever just the feast, feast for fools, oh
Curses, curses and clues
A feast, a feast for fools, oh
