Why do we search
It is simply a game
a home merely a place
in the back, up ahead
I see your star

Why cant we hurt
The nights so late
In the darkness
In the whole world
we wont get far

All we create in mirrors
All we have seen so far
In the dark place
in the the hothouse
We will fall

In the fire
By the lamp light
We wont get far

Everywhere were going
All our places seen
In the Hope that
In the Darkness
Ill see your Car

Dont know how i made it
Dont know where ive been
On the Pillow
In the bedroom
Lies my star

All day
All night
Your my star

Vanguard of the New Movement

Behind his polished cedar desk,
surrounded by his phones,
Sits Blazer Dyke(The yachting type),
The vanguard of the clones.
The Archetype,
The number one,The vanguard of the clones.

Crossing over busy street,
where noisy traffic drones,
Walks Blazer Dyke (without a bike),
The vanguard of the clones.
The autocrat,
The ectomorph,
The vanguard of the clones.

He strides across the cobbled yard,
Where pawn shops offer loans,
That Blazer Dyke (Whom i dislike),
The vanguard of the clones.
The cannibal,
The parasite,
The vanguard of the clones.

He passes through the wicket gate,
To churhyards full of bones,
That Blazer Dyke (on a midnight hike),
The vanguard of the clones.
The necrophile,
The narcissist,
The coprophage,
The sybarite,
The telepath,
The Anti-Christ,
The vanguard of the clones.

Robert Rankin
(The Dance of the Voodoo Handbag)

yes i thinks it funny when you find that one person she seems to be from another world because she is so different from the rest and that makes her your star. enjoyed this read very much cause it holds alot of truth.

I liked this one a lot. The way I interpreted it fits in well with feelings I have had in the recent past. Thank you.
