INFERNO CA
Pt. 1
In the beginning, all you see
Is a massive, open field,
With sand composed of grains
As on the Mojave plains.
By the sun, a saucer soars
Larger than any plane before,
Nova Express unfolds
On a laser disc of gold.
Galaxian shines golden bright
As downward dips its flight,
Descending all aflame
With the Ineffable Name.
A robotic claw so strong
With talons sharp and long,
Seizes you as you flee
The antigravity beam.
Lost in the Desert Real
Lost in the Desert Real
Lost in the Desert Real
Lost in the Desert Real
Pt. 2
Look down and see Death Valley,
The Sierras and Yosemite,
Now it’s San Francisco Bay.
From Golden Gate
To Gilman Street stage,
Escape Alcatraz,
Follow the train tracks
Down Pacific Coast Highway.
You find yourself
In a surging space,
At either end there is a door.
What is this place
With no fixed floor,
You’ve never seen this place before.
Why are you here
Who never wished to come,
Can someone make the light more clear,
The floor more firm,
The doors set wide,
Which are locked and filled with fear.
Pt. 3
The masked man smiles,
Open your eyes,
This is your life,
You bleed ink
As the scribe writes
Inside the Book of Life.
You don't know how, but on Mount Lee,
Alien Ian sets you free,
Lemmy’s at the Rainbow Room,
Abductors at the House of Blues,
Dee Dee’s at the Troubadour,
Darby’s crashed out on the floor,
The orchestra pit of Hollywood Bowl,
Is your backstage pass to the underworld.
No one crowned in Mann’s Chinese,
Fears follow where the Black Star leads.
Go, advance, don’t miss your chance
To tempt Fate on the Walk of Fame!
Pt.4
Under the Hollywood Sign
A blazing star catches your eye,
How it flowers beneath your sight
And turns into a butterfly.
From Mount Hollywood,
Los Angeles looks quite nice.
In the Golden Land of Sunshine,
You sell shares of Paradise.
From Mount Hollywood,
Babylon looks rather nice.
On the Pacific Rim of Fire,
You sold your soul to a Rothschild.
You chase her down Mulholland Drive
Until you reach a fountainside,
She circles round and begins to dip,
But disappears so faerie quick.
What whisperer disturbs your rest,
Uprisen from the blue-tiled edge.
From Mount Hollywood,
Los Angeles looks quite nice.
In the Golden Land of Sunshine,
Lease your share of Paradise.
From Mount Hollywood,
Babylon looks rather nice.
In the Pacific Ring of Fire,
Live like a suicide.
Pt. 5
Unseen to human sight,
Spirits who rule regions of night,
Agents, permit me to relate,
The mystic wonders of your silent state,
Inside the jaws of Hell,
Where Famine, Vengeance, and Death dwell,
Here Morpheus hides his head,
And empty dreams on every leaf are spread
For the dead.
Pt. 6
All I dare say that on this day,
You’ll wander far with no delay.
Why it is so, one knows below
In the Retail Slut on Melrose.
On the road to El Dorado,
Follow the Blue Streak Racer
With the Master and the Margarita
To El Segundo Venida.
Pt. 7
For the Lord of the Flies,
Your soul flies from your eyes.
HR Giger opens the tomb,
And down you fall to meet your doom!
Pt. 8
Descend where Crenshaw ends,
And secret subway tunnels bend,
The decline is steep into burning heat
Through the valley of the shadow of Center Street.
You run as Fate has spun
Who draws your thread from Acheron,
From dusk to dawn, to where you begun,
She cuts your thread from the black sun.
You got your casting call
From Zoltar’s crystal ball!
Descend where Crenshaw ends,
And secret subway tunnels bend,
The decline is steep into burning heat
Through the valley of the shadow of Center Street.
You got your casting call
From Zoltar’s crystal ball!
Pt. 9.
From her side, you steal the city’s key,
Unlock the Studio Gates with ease.
Doors fly open, hinges grate,
And San Andreas shakes the Richter scale.
From Rodeo Drive, a pyramid of fire
Ignites your tires with nitrous oxide.
The South Bay sways on a golden chain,
The L.A. Basin is a lake of flames.
It’s a drag race on Route 66
With the Hot Rods of Apocalypse.
It’s a drag race on Route 66
With the Hot Rods of Apocalypse.
Don’t get caught in the blast
Or you’re gone in a flash.
There’s no turning back
So step on the gas
To reach your Critical Mass!

ALTERNATE GROOVE
Produced by Daniel Human
4/13/18
This is pirate radio,
From coast to coast in stereo,
Jamming King Harbor Marina,
With the siren of Catalina.
Broadcasting from the pearl of Avalon,
On the Palos Verdes horizon,
Calling wayfarers to Del Cerro,
Rebel stilettos in Redondo,
Breakwall above and Brixton below.
She’s a carnal tornado,
Who carves and curls over El Porto,
And the airwaves pulse and resonate,
While the breakers crest and detonate.
Spyder surfs and Wyland paints,
In the fierce vortex of tidal waves,
E.T. kickflips and powerslides,
Aerials the masonic eye,
Into the deep where the kraken hides.
Chorus:
I catch the all-seeing riptide,
Under the coral sky,
Of a RAT Beach sunrise,
We leave only footsteps behind.
So I reach inside my hungry mind,
And dive into the sunburst tide,
While you debut in Susy’s blue venue,
With Alternate Groove,
She burns incense at Greekos,
With the sea sprite of Portofino,
From Smuggler’s Cove to Lion Head,
32 degrees to Eagle's Nest.
A chill wind blows down Vista,
Over Sandpiper and Dockweiler,
And the Sand Dune is a prisoner,
Smoking in the Bijou cinema,
Bones recast in bronze and quiksilver.
Chorus:
The last bastion of culture,
Is a gas mask with black suede leather,
Garnet, agate, beryl and opal,
For the occult brave new world order.
In the Vanderlip Mansion,
Restless narcotic obsession,
Upper Deck to Hermosa Saloon,
Brocade corset for an ocean view,
You’re hypnotized by Pier Avenue.
Chorus:
Fire in the booth,
Eternal truth,
Alternate Groove.
Coda:
As above and so below,
Outside your bedroom window,
Rocky horror picture show,
In the collective ego.
As above and so below,
Outside your bedroom window,
Rocky horror picture show,
Innuendo.

We're back, we're fresh,
And we're here to say,
So hot you can melt
And fade away,
We’re like the ice into water,
Still in disorder,
High powered rap
Is what I’m voicing,
Like the light we're bright
Over easy and white,
Obligated to perform
For the ladies delight,
Well it's a must so trust,
Never give me no fuss,
We'll make it or break it
Like a ride on the bus,
Through the city so pretty,
We're lively and giddy,
Could put you in a cut
To make you beg for pity,
Like the crew Mantronix
With the real nitty gritty,
Can make sweet love
Or bite off your titty.
Because the M is for the Man (Man),
A is for the And (And),
N is for the Name
That represents our band,
We're taking command,
We're makin a stand,
In this cold hearted world,
This hard rock land,
This place called Manhattan,
Demanded to the Satin,
With different types of people
Mostly American and Latin,
Could hit the Tree Top
With the sweet street bop,
And yes the old rhyme style
So don't dare stop with that
Beat,
Make you wanna freak,
A’ come on party people
‘Cause it's so unique,
'Cause it's the beat of two,
Programmed by few,
Quite subtle by a couple
Of brothers that's true,
Made with ease,
Designed to tease,
Can make the guys stay amazed
While the girls cry please,
Cry please
And don't you let it cease,
‘Cause of you I'll be true,
I'll never tease.
Taking command x5
Well it’s actually correct,
We're here to infect,
With competition with ambition
On the point of mic check,
Well our style is complicated,
As we have as demonstrated,
Calculated for our minds,
But also regulated,
For the folks who are younger,
Make all the people wonder,
On while they party on
For knowledge we hunger,
Because, it is,
The age that we’re in,
And what we now call fresh,
I won’t ever scorn this,
Just record, don't crawl,
Take a chance for it all,
Take your passion places
Till day that you fall.
Be bold, not cold,
That's what I was told,
Taught me strictly from my Dad
When I was 12 years old,
To live a life and occupation,
So take a variation,
To strive for all my goals
And not to lack imagination,
‘Cause life is a fact,
You can't turn back,
And you got to be exact
Just keep it intact,
But like gear I wear,
The voice you hear,
The constant stares
From the girls over there,
Up and down my spine,
It’s feeling divine,
We'll dine, drink wine
Like a pantomime,
And not a word will be said
Before I have read,
I'm yours, you're mine,
So don't be misled,
To believe, conceive,
A thought to concede,
‘Cause the men of the 80s
Will always achieve that glory!
Well it's me, T-Ski,
Notified to come,
And yes, old Flatbush
Is where I'm from,
We’re located in the Brook
And only for some,
Notarize for the wise
And never the dumb,
We're not the small or weak hearted,
Alone or departed,
Our album on Ocean Ave
Is where I'm charted,
I call it my palace,
It's rugged and callous,
In the evening-time
I light up my chalice,
So think about the life
Most people call perfection,
The kinda lifestyle
That becomes an obsession,
Or need, greed,
I’m the devil indeed,
We’ll flee and bleed
If we're meant to succeed,
And lead, devour,
To excavate the power,
Every day and every hour,
‘Cause we control the tower,
So with that at your reside,
My partner will provide,
A beat to move your feet
Upon the wave so you can ride it,
Proceeding with aggression
Yes to make it a collection,
So the name Mantronix
Be your number one selection,
‘Cause we are the crew,
I know you like,
And yes he controls the beat,
And I hold the mic,
And yes he got the snare,
And I keep the flare,
And everybody who,
Yet everybody what,
Everybody else
Is just controlling our where.
