When I crossed the desert I left everything behind My gun My money And the burdens of my mind When I crossed the Mojave There was nothing that I lacked I left in the dead of night And I never once looked back When I crossed Death…

We’re closed now Keep off My land The plains turn to sand That’s what the wire said I hear trains coming Smoke in the sky Lines in the sand That’s what the wire said Ghosts of voices Chant numbers and code Steel lines in the sand…

Walking alone in late February Thinking on friends I’d lost John and Sean and Christopher Ryan, Ian, and Mark Some of them fell to fever and drink Some to women or song One of them made it to the good life But all of them are gone All…

Across this interstate wasteland Dry riverbeds At my back a cold wind The sounds of motors and horns The ruins sigh and sing In the rush There’s a room full of photographs behind me Torn up and thrown away So much refuse Left to burn…

Lazy day in Vegas She just appeared So elegant, intelligent Grinning from ear to ear She had that killer style Looks that turn your eye I liked the way she rolled When I asked her what her name was She said “Tumbleweed, They call…

In the grim town where I was born There was not much to see The only thing that shone was the girl named Mary Lee I tried to win her when I was a boy with flowers and smiles and wit She looked away or looked annoyed She would have none…

I was out walking Walking in the city one day I heard the wind calling Calling my name Under the hot August sun I went wandering west With my boots and my gun and a guitar across my chest Come a ti yi yippee yi yay! Come a ti yi yippee…

First pass at making a simple subtractive bass sound on Prophet 12. First up, single sawtooth oscillator. "Slop" is set around 25, 4-pole filter with a touch of resonance. After the arpeggiator is started, I add some "Girth", and some sub-oscillator…

Demonstration of Frequency Modulation (FM) synthesis on the Prophet 12. Starts with oscillators 1 (carrier) and 2 (modulator), both set to sine waves at C3. Holding down C, I increase the frequency of the modulator all the way to maximum (C10…

Demonstration of the various wave shapes of the Prophet 12. Simple single-oscillator patch, everything wide open, no modulation. Each wave is played plain, then played again with LFO 1 set to rate 35, modulating wave shape at 127. Sawtooth…

Walked into the room Can't remember why Something to tell you Must have slipped my mind Everything we feel The world that we perceive All only as real As our memories Electricity in meat Magnetism on rust Pigments and papers Crumbling to dust…

In my dresser a pile of snapshots Don't look too closely They faked them all Climbed from the wreckage No hero's journey I wore a new name Nobody noticed Live long enough and all your cells get replaced Doesn't that make you Somebody new? Looking…

Overnight the world went fake Everything has been replaced With pale imitations Gray reflections The food has no taste Surrounded by automatons Programmed not to see what's going on Cheap props and flimsy sets A tired plot and bad effects…

Scientists say that solid things are mostly empty space Tiny motes vibrating Distant and held in place They don't really know how it works They've watched things break apart Fundamental forces, strange quarks Fuse or remain inert Isn't that…

[a quiet interlude during the investigation]

Blue the light that shines on me Watching you on the screen Blue your eyes and blue the scenes Replay, rewind, recurring dream Blue the nights I sit at home Scanning, surfing all alone Blue the color of the bruise Thinking of my time with you…

I pinch myself but I don't wake up I cut myself but I still feel numb The drugs The drinks It's later than you think I starve myself but the weight won't lift I beat myself up and I can't stop it Then you appear Tell me what I need to…

It's the strangest thing Must be a waking dream The strangest thing Or the latest invention Reflections Holographic projections Some cruel trick Or pharmaceutical deception Through the downtown crowds in the rainy streets You were walking around…
