Alphabet Man

I found a quarter in the dirt I picked it up and dust it off
It's in my pocket now and it's a part of me
I found love and then it hurt I picked it out and tried it on
It's just a locket now I wear around a chain
And you may think that I have gone quite insane
But every letter that I know is in my name
I'm the Alphabet Man and you can read my words in the sand
The strangest thing I've ever seen I met a man without a heart
he went from girl to girl and never lost his cool
I met a girl with eyes so green
that it was living in the woods to stare in those eyes but she let me a fool
And you may think that I have gone quite insane6
But every letter that I know is in my name
I'm the Alphabet Man and you can read my words in the sand
I've found this planet spins around because there is nothing to compare
the circle's all there is and all there is to be
and I've found things often move down as I step off that bottom stair
Just as William Blake always used to sand

This is my everything.
This is where I’ll stay.
I could be here til my dying day.
I’m in you, you’re in me.
Hostages held down by place and time.
Oblivion is something so sublime
Familiar ways to be
Stripped away but you can’t even see
We wanna touch the sun.
Make it all our own.
You have no care for anyone.
It makes you feel alive, but it goes away.
This is my everything. This is where I’ll stay. I will be here til my dying days. This is now. This is me

I'm gonna be on time
To see my baby
And we'll be doing fine
I'm gonna be on time
To get my shit done
And we'll be doing fine
I'll see this through
I'll be with you
I'm coming to
But maybe not today
Not today
I'm gonna be on time
To get to my baby
And we'll be doing fine
I'll see it through
I'll get to you
I'll be with you
But maybe not today
Not today
Well I'm still in bed
Full of sweat
I can't move
I can't see what's next
I'm gonna be on time
to get my shit done
and I'll be feeling fine
I'm coming to
I'll be with you
I'll see it through
Maybe

Pirate Song

I ran away with Pirates I was just a little child
Nine years old and thirty years wild
We spent the first year lootin’ every gas station we saw
Well we were roaming pirates and we were wanted by the law
My parents didn’t miss me for nearly seven months
My mother kept with sailors and my father kept with drunks
So I never had no family ‘cept the ones I met in jail
So please forgive me baby for the contents of my tale
Well I love the life of a pirate
There’s more loot in America than on the bottom of the sea
There’s nothing bad that I can say about it
I got the Jolly Rogers tattooed on my knee
It wasn’t until Abilene that I’d meet my Waterloo
With a waitress at a diner down on route 642
She served me grits and jail time, her father was the law
And the coldest man with a badge that I ever saw
Well I love the life of a pirate
There’s more loot in America than on the bottom of the sea
There’s nothing bad that I can say about it
I got the Jolly Rogers tattooed on my knee
But I always knew that I was not well-fated
And all the crimes that I had perpetrated
Would come back to me like a lie
Made after one has hesitated
And life in prison’s taught me many lessons
The hardest of which has not left me guessing
If you can lead a pirates life
Then sit back babe and count your blessings

Come with me say Lambaday, Hey Lambaday!
It’s a special day, he say. Say Lambaday!
Lambaday say come today it’s a Rumba day
But I can’t play Rumba hey, Lambaday
Hey now friends.
Listen to me
I’m just a humble man
Who lives off the sea
I never catch no fish, though
And my boat goes dry
The only sea shanties I sing
Will make you cry
Lambaday say come today it’s samba day
But I can’t play Samba hey, Lambaday
Lambaday say come today it’s Mambo day
But I can’t play Mambo hey, Lambaday
Hey now friends.
Listen to me
I’m just a humble man
Who lives off the sea
I never catch no fish
And my boat goes dry
The only sea shanties I sing
Will make you cry

She once went my way
The road was mine
On down the highway
The sun would always shine
But now she’s gone away from me
She’s got a brand new model three
But now she’s gone away from me
The driver is no longer me
He sent my girl to outer space
We used to go away
Off on an aeroplane
My little runaway
Space X Rocket Getaway
But now she’s gone away from me
He sent my girl to outer space
And now she’s left me here all alone
Hand on my stick shift driving myself home
He sent my girl to outer space

Well hello my friend (and farewell)!
Soup is good food!
Did you see that data set yesterday?
You’re in such a great mood!
Was that you and that football player with Taylor Swift?
Why it may as well have been you! I saw it when I was on the can, one hand on my tracker, the other one wiping away reality!
You’ve been embraced, not replaced! You’re always the VIP
It’s gonna be great! The soup line can be erased. Just like you!
Shortcuts are the way to go. Short! Cut! Get it? Don’t be slow!
That fine fellow will help you, not hurt you. It has all the answers!
Want to retire in Bali? For all your hard work?
Step right up! And off you go! You CAN. On your screen. Looking back at the real you.
Open a book? What a waste! Press on that warm glass, sit on your ass.
You’re being erased.
Now it’s time to go
Now it’s time to go

Blindhead New York, New York
Blindhead is a NYC outfit that has morphed from electronica and hip-hop production to live instrumental pieces. Styles run
from modern alterna-folk guitar-based rock to stoner rock to cinematic instrumental pieces that could fit a film or television show to straight up noise.
There's also some funk and some stoner rock.
Blindhead is Bryan Pocius.
