1-2-5 Well I was walking down the street on a four way tab I found a young girl standing under glass Her heart was black and her face was masked A five dollar bill, that was all she asked Now if I had my car, I would go for a drive I had no car, but I had my five I walked on over to her, I said "What's your name?" "My name's Mary Jane, I live down the lane" Well I looked down the lane, at the end I could see A room full of clowns looking back at me A line of executives formed to the right And if I'd stayed, I woulda stood all night Well she opened up the door and said "Go on in" I walked in first and pulled down the shades She said, "Take it easy, baby, don't be afraid You got nothing to loose, you're at a penny arcade"

NINE MONTHS LATER I woke up at the crack of dawn I brushed her hair out of my eyes and I said "so long" To a one night stand I couldn't stand no more Well how was I to know she'd come knockin' on my door? Get her out of here, now! Nine months later She's ringin' my doorbell Nine months later I ain't feelin' too well Who woulda thought, who could ever surmise? That chick would hunt me down like the FBI? Callin' all cars, put out an APB Because this papoose that she's totin' It looks a lot like me Get it outta here, now! Nine months later She's knockin' down my door Nine months later I can't stand it no more Now listen here boys to these words of wit It's not attached to you You're attached to it If you don't wanna live this life of shame Be sure to wear your rubbers when it rains And when it rains it pours Nine months later She's ringin' my doorbell Nine months later I ain't feelin' too well now Nine months later Dawn, go away I'm no good for you Yeah yeah yeah yeah Get away from my door, now Nine months later You're havin' my baby What a lovely way of sayin' how much you love me Nine months later I'm a travelin' man, I made alot of stops All over the world

R I S E War zone, surrounds me tried to hide, they found me Lost in the DMZ Another trapped soul in eternity Eyes wide open, adrift on an endless sea I'll search for light between the seams I won't accept another's dreams I'll rise Rise over all my failings Climb aboard, smooth sailing These waters have been known, to take a man's heart, turn it into stone It's easy to get lost when you're on your own I'll search for light between the seams I won't accept another's dreams I'll rise I'll rise, rise over all my failings To heed my calling I've seen so many try, to break the chains and pierce the eye The war is on, to lay down is to die I'll rise, rise over all

So you say that you wanna leave the world behind You're lookin' for a launching pad, it ain't easy to find You wanna leave the ground, kick the gong around Miss Green, she is divine (How do you know?) I been there a couple times or so (Do you know the way?) I'll take you there if you dare to stray (And if you're still in the dark) Look For The Question Mark The air is heavy, but the atmosphere is light It doesn't matter the time, 'cause in there it's always light Crazy number 13, is gonna color your scene And dreams emerge from the pipe (How do you know?) I been there a couple times or so (Do you know the way?) I'll take you there if you dare to stray (And if you're still in the dark) Look For The Question Mark Well the sign says "coffee" but that's not where it's at You can go somewhere else if you're looking for that Smoke is the key, and a taste of mystery Miss M wears many different hats (How do you know?) I been there a couple times or so (Do you know the way?) I'll take you there if you dare to stray (And if you're still in the dark) Look For The Question Mark

REVIEW FROM 1996 MAGNET MAGAZINE:

FUZZTONES - FLASHBACKS Sundered Records

THE FUZZTONES ruled the black leather garage netherworld throughout the '80s, alternating their aural mayhem between NYC and Los Angeles. Their FLASHBACKS CD - also a double LP - is fiery proof the "paisley revival" has true staying power and Protrudithe Sundered label is ready to provide the same quality coverage of the '80s cavemen scene as it's done for '60s garagelia. FLASHBACKS isn't really a "best of"; the Fuzztones released far too much material (more than 40 records) to make a 70-minute distillation possible. The 22 tracks here instead are some choice LP cuts, alternate versions, demos and previously unreleased material. RUDI PROTRUDI is the focus behind the Fuzztones' dark sound. His approach recalls an alley cat in the throes of vicious copulation, his guitar alive with buzz, his voice a groaning invitation. The Music Machine's Sean Bonniwell, Steppenwolf's John Kay and The Mysterious' Question Mark have nothing on Protrudi; perhaps he's the result of some DNA mutation of them all. Lock up the girls: Protrudi & Co. have reformed and are lurking once again in L.A.

CHARLOTTE'S REMAINS
Charlotte was a girl who'd been around
Her friends all said "Stay clear"
She left her trails all over town
Now she's disappeared

Her web was spun from evil
Her kiss, the kiss of death
Yesterday she crossed my path
And no one's seen her since

Her line felt like silk
She drew me in her trap
Then we tangled all night long
But only I came back

They said that Charlotte had it all
Style, looks and brains
Now I've got everything
Including her remains

Charlotte was a girl who'd been around
Her friends all said "Stay clear"
She left her trails all over town
Now she's disappeared

They said that Charlotte had it all
Style, looks and brains
Now I've got everything
Including her remains
