It’s a saga of Fire and Ice…

Heat Seekers, again…

Posted on 02.21.21 under Uncategorized

Re-imagining of the original Heat Seekers with updated lyrics.

lyrics

Heat seeking flying south, chasing the sun
Are you the only one, on the run
Gold diggin’, back stabbin’, deed was done
Am I the only one, having fun

Heat Seekers beauty fades
Heat Seekers beauty fades
Heat Seekers beauty fades
Heat Seekers beauty fades

Rainmaker hear him boast, howl at the moon
I smell sucess on your breath, my young tycoon
She’s lovely on the dance floor, dollars are strewn
But when you touch her she’s a bursting balloon

Heat Seekers beauty fades
Heat Seekers beauty fades
Heat Seekers beauty fades
Heat Seekers beauty fades

There’s nothing they can’t have, so why should they pay
The lust for more and more leads them astray
They weaponize the law, the poor are their prey
And party in their house of moral decay

Limbic Zone

Posted on 02.18.21 under Uncategorized

Emotional life is largely housed in the limbic system, and it critically aids the formation of memories.

Septal nuclei: a set of structures that lie in front of the lamina terminalis, considered a pleasure zone.

We’re just tourists in the Limbic zone
We threw the dice, but our bet was blown
It’s all fun and games until we lose
Then we cry and claim abuse

There are highs and lows
And love that comes and goes
Abandoned embryos
All things must decompose

Seduced by a wanton smile
Fishnet stockings never out of style
You found pleasure climbing to the top
With no one telling you how to stop

There are highs and lows
Pure joy of afterglow
Perfumed like a rose
And everybody knows

Your moods ran hot and cold
With tantrums to behold
Drama for breakfast and dessert
And then you played the introvert

There are highs and lows
And love that comes to blows
So don’t hold that pose
Your soul will decompose

Corrupted in a storm of hot consent
Bankrupted lust spent instead of rent
Discharged passion spewed in the dust
If only I had not betrayed your trust

There are highs and lows
Pure joy of afterglow
Perfumed like a rose
And everybody knows

There are highs and lows
And love that comes and goes
Abandoned embryos
All things must decompose
