Seduce
A D G C A F G C

C D A
[Verse]
Mr. magazine rack madman
wants his money back, again.
Force your parents into heart-attack,
offer puppies for the dead.
Moralist's fictionalize &
say you're on your own.
Cops make their final move &
you learn what this was for?
Teaching women now the wrong things,
like violence protects.
Thinking their the same as you,
when how you just won't say.
Her submission isn't evil,
it's the way the sin's explained.
Are you one that ask's for mercy,
mirror in everybody's head.
[Chorus]
Reason for proceedings, preview and disown.
Stepping so far you can't see anymore,
who's a subject or a victim, throw down your stones.
Both, these kinds of madness, Seduce And Extort.
[Verse]
Vigilante mercenaries, show their ears when it ain't their job.
Pay to, pass, play, or stay, same result.
Stop pointing the guns of your mind, to hate that way.
Revenge just wants revenge, no justice here today.
Subscribing to this new Halliburton type pact,
with big parades, slot machines, buckshot canons in the steam.
Group orgy, everybody's free, I feel secure enough to not repeat.
Recognizing weakness of hu-man,
instead searching ways to stay trapped.
Vendetta's for telephone sex want their money back, again.
Force your parents into heart-attack, offer puppies for the dead.
Moralist's fictionalize & say you're on your own.
Cops make their final move & you learn what this was for?
[Chorus]
Reason for proceedings, preview and disown.
Stepping so far, I can't see anymore,
who's a subject or a victim, throw down your stones.
Both, these kinds of madness, Seduce And Extort.
[Lead Guitar]
[Verse]
You get the otherwise wouldn't buy it hasty purchasing mistakes.
You claim no one would do it as per example says.
If we say yes to anything we'll say yes to everything?
An extreme corruption sting, then there's ages old meaning.
The poor girl needs the weight to stroll back again,
coming at you too to say just what you've done & where you've been. Your'e turning women into this meanness of chauvinists and ignorant's. Keep your tango building on, as you believe you will consent.
Reason for proceedings, preview and disown.
Stepping so far, you can't see anymore,
who's a subject or a victim, throw down your stones.
Both, these kinds of madness, Seduce And Extort.
[Lead Guitar]
[Verse]
Bus stop back seat drivers want their money back, again.
Force your parents into heart-attack,
offer puppies for the dead.
Moralists, scribe a pamphlet &
say you're on your own.
Cops make their final move &
you learn what this was for?
Reason for proceedings, preview and disown.
Stepping so far, you can't see anymore,
Nature takes it's course leave it alone
Both, your kinds of madness, Seduce And Extort.
Reason for proceedings, preview and disown.
Stepping so far, you can't see anymore,
who's a subject or a victim, throw down your stones.
Both, these kinds of madness, Seduce And Extort.
Both, these kinds of madness, Seduce And Extort.
Both, these kinds of madness, Seduce And Extort.

ISN'T MEANT FOR ME
Intro G C Cm GCD
verse G Em G EM AM C AM G CCBCD
ch G C D G C D D C D C
[Intro]
His brain was like a Tetrees game, where he made the people fit.
Everything has a place they say, but we all have our own screen.
[Verse 1]
A kid in the school, repeated anything he heard.
Called everyone hypocrite, did he look, in the mirror?
He seemed to miss the meaning, didn't hear enough to wait.
His palm hit my shoulder, screaming what I said, yesterday.
[Chorus]
I'm not a piece here in your Tetrees game?
Fear made your mind that way.
Your mothers words she spoke, to you,
and the lesson that you learned, that way,
isn't meant for me!
[Verse 2]
Time plays no role for him, he doesn't change from yesteryear.
Any un-natural occurrence, he'd just pound away his fear.
I, swallowed my pride many times, they 'd forgotten why?
Conceit or low esteem, which one will you claim today?
Overbearing, or to shy, to sing?
[Chorus]
I'm not a piece here in your Tetrees game?
Fear made your mind that way.
Your mothers words she spoke, to you,
and the lesson that you learned, that way
isn't meant for me!
[Bridge]
They'll always command you to know the pain of the starving
This is the measure of the for the 'slavery' they enforce.
[Chorus]
I'm not a piece here in your Tetrees game?
Fear made your mind that way.
Your mothers words she spoke, to you,
and the lesson that you learned, that way,
isn't meant for me!
[Chorus]
Am I a piece here in your Tetrees game?
Fear made your mind that way.
Your mothers lesson isn't meant for me.
Her words she spoke to you.
Won't you learn a clue?

Fears
Lead A
Verse D D D E D E D A
Chorus: F#m7 E F#m7 E A D E Daug D E
[Verse 1]
As we're now all falling,
some learn to fly instead.
She sights the sky above,
entertains drama there.
Thinks, "I could of played the part so perfect,
done the job so well.
Scarlet Letter heiress,
shaking smiles "straight for hell."
[Chorus]
She stands in line, unwashed lace,
amidst a sea of, could of been,
her fear, un-faced.
[Verse 2]
Like summer of 42,
she'd flirt & blame the wine.
Entertain the second floor
with desperation and time.
Where beauty her defeat,
for raspberry scream.
She escapes for sweet surrender,
in, Neapolitan's sequel Kane.
[Chorus]
Now She stands in line, unwashed lace,
amidst a sea of, could of been,
her fear, un-faced.
[Bridge]
ALWAYS THINKING, WHICH ONE FROM THE OTHER?
Fear of failure, fear of success.
ALWAYS THINKING, WHICH ONE FROM THE OTHER?
Dying in disease, or the pain of loneliness,
ALWAYS THINKING, WHICH ONE FROM THE OTHER?
Fear of break-in crime, or leisure's boring vanity,
[Chorus]
We all stand in line, unwashed face!
Amidst a dream of, could of been,
our fear, un-faced.
[Chorus]
We all stand in line, unwashed face!
Amidst a dream of, could of been,
our fear, un-faced.

Wednesday
by Brent Alan Beck
Fast Paced Rhythm
Intro: aaaa gceb gga-
ad eded
gcd
[Verse 1]
She cursed the clock, "Everyone lies!"
She knows, what, to blame.
We've gotta, work 'neath the blue skies!
They've gotten used to this trade-off for time!
Can't change any fact, lazy tongues drink the new fine wine!
[Chorus]
She built a bridge over Wednesday, now there can only be two days, at a time, to make her cry!
[Verse 2]
She's in tonight, everyone's there.
Make's a scene, they know not to stare, now.
[Chorus]
She built a bridge over Wednesday,
now there can only be two days, at a time, to make her cry!
[Bridge]
Takes too long for anyone to care. Filled with spite & glasshouse stare. Hate our lives, complaint's just a shame in this gamblers slanted game.
[Verse 3]
Taxes or fees, favors to bribes?
Slush funds melt down, reveal our disguise.
[Chorus]
She built a bridge over Wednesday,
now there can only be two days, at a time, to make her cry!
[Ending]
Two days, to make her cry!
Two days, at a time!
Two days, to make her cry!
Two days, at a time! Two days,
to make her cry!
Two days, at a time.

Think
DGCD Acoustic electric A G
[Verse 1]
Crying on the telephone, telling me you wanna come home.
You've got more rhyming to do, to disappear from the life you once knew?
[Chorus]
Tell me if you must think, think hard with alll your might?
Think of the pain we done shared, then leave your fear behind.
[Verse 2]
Bricks & mortar lay waste, in every castle you can't replace.
Your tears and crying are gone, but the vacancy lingers on.
[Chorus]
Tell me if you must think, think hard with alll your might?
Think of the pain we shared, then leave your fear behind.
[Verse]

[Chorus]
She gave to me more than I had before.
She gave to me more than I had before.
[Verse 1]
We never shared a kiss
but we had our dance,
She said is swaying enough?
and then she pulled me into her chest.
[Chorus]
She gave to me more than I had before.
She gave to me more than I had before.
[Verse 2]
State Capital Queen,
quiet heroine dreams.
We pushed until we died,
on our shoulders felled light.
That time follows me.
Now time is complete.
Mistakes are non-love,
No longer am where I was.
[Chorus]
She gave to me more than I had before.
She gave to me more than I had before.
She gave to me more than I had before.
[Verse 3]
She'd fetch my routine by a valley or sea,
double up as she can and on her arms asleep again.
[Chorus]
She gave to me more than I had before.
She gave to me more than I had before.
She gave to me more than I had before.

"Panning Plate" by Brent Alan Beck
G Bm D
Em D Bm D C
Wool upon my eyes to steel.
And of burned bridges, for, leading no where.
Darkness I'm adjusted now.
To think you'd leave me here.
I can finally see a hand in front of me.
And obvious how, the wasted length's, of life & prime,
where I could not see,
to overcome or integrate,
that life of love,
to feel complete.
Small minds that you've employed
when you talk about shared escapade, of past.
I'm not your ensample made,
for refusing model candidate,
or maturity for compare.
For you to rationalize & then evade.
For n the squeeze of the hourglass,
life's a measure of who we share it with.
In lovinghood, jealousy doesn't prove you care,
& anger doesn't prove your jealous or just feared?
So proud, when, they can love you only at a distance.
Like rotting prize high up on a tree?
They're afraid to climb or come near, to reach.
So the chance I had, was never made,
I blame them, still, I know it's how, I cannot help this now, still.
When she left I couldn't replace why she said we couldn't last.
As I watch complaint, from loved & lost of their burdened time.
The turn I have, for coveted distant glittering.
Like salt & gravel in bitter panning plate.

[Chorus]
If she ever needed me and I was gone,
would you love her the way I do?
Share a little secret, fill her soul
find a way to drop your guard for her.
[Verse 1]
We became departed in a time of war,
I never got to see her again.
Tribulation goes on in this awfulness,
Barbarians seeks their spite's revenge.
A people now say what we've the right to speak,
have become what they once despised.
For their jealousy they murder new victims every week
and blame absent ancestry.
[Chorus]
If she ever needed me and I was gone,
would you love her the way I do?
Share a little secret, fulfill her soul
find a way to drop your guard for her.
[Verse 2]
Extortion molds a soldier out anyone any time place or where,
Social engineering teaches tear apart any strength that's there.
They portray false perceptions each and every day,
turn a channel and you'll see them there.
Paid to act like they get along,
lack of etiquette drives the rest to despair.
[Bridge]
She becomes my civil war bride, caught behind enemy lines. waiting until they get me alone, waiting until I make it home to your arms again.
[Chorus]
If she ever needed me and I was gone,
would you love her the way I do?
Share a little secret, fulfill her soul
find a way to drop your guard for her.
[Chorus]
If she ever needed me and I was gone,
would you love her the way I do?

Missing Link Us Los Angeles, California

Walter Egan proceeded to record & produce four song ep, receiving airplay on KROQ & college radio. A stronger vocalist was needed. Funding could not be obtained to entice the band members from pursuing other ambition in the; then; very strong business sector, where they remain to this day. ... more
