LYRICS
A Telegram from Aliens
by David Husted
Intro:
Verse1:
Scent of spice on the trade winds
Sound of sea and the wind howling….
…..Listing starboard toward Orion
Ozone and roots in the fabric
of field and stream the last Rhinos dream….
And then fade away
…………………Fade Away
Ch:
…..You know we are better than this
…..You know we are bigger than this
{instr}
Shake off my mind's snakes and cobwebs
We're moths pining towards burning flames
Imagine a Telegram
…..from Aliens…… …….that says
Ch:
…..You know you are better than this
…..You know you are bigger than this
{instr}
Bridge:
Humans think they're so fantastic
I think they might Plastic
bet they taste like burnt toast
and salted concrete
They're enigmatic
Clattering fanatics
They lie , they cheat, they steal, they kill
Take Earth for granted
They huff and puff,
never shut-up
Galactic Council says
Prob best to zap them
……………………………
But every now and then I see compassion
Every now and then I see such kindness
The most extraordinary ship of fools
They make it so difficult for us to choose
Throw them in a tasty stew with garlic, pepper, salt and truth
Others say, let them stay
hope maybe they'll find a better way; I pray
To Love……………To Love, To Love , To Love, To Love
Verse 2:
Her family, past the Pleiades
She's traveling on a cosmic plain
She sleeps beneath
The lathe of heaven
Today a passenger on a sleeping train
Sipping whiskey with a fine Green Sage
Who brewed Ayahuasca with a
Poetic Naturalist; He said
Ch
……. know we're better than this
She smiled, waved goodbye, I'll try, "you're better than this"
……. know we're better than this
She smiled, waved goodbye, I'll try, "you're better than this
Outro (Verse harmonic)
Imagine a Telegram
…..from Aliens

Fifty Three Degrees
By David Husted
a link to the video: youtu.be/oAv-lnq8ngQ
When I look back at my eyes
They may be fifty three year old
They call it Grand Theft Auto
I call it racing down this road
I feel my heart beat
Keep it under control
The scent of rain sizzling on the street
It seems the steam rises up to greet me
I hear the tick tock
I'm running out of time
I hear the gun shots
I may be losing my mind
Blue and red rise up behind me
Siren sings, that voice , that voice reminds me
And when I scream at the sky
It's the silence that hurts me
and when the needle pegs that line
Race past a love still burning
I hear the boots kick; crackling inside my head
These rattling bones hear your voice
Rise up behind me
Siren sings, that voice , that voice reminds me

Our Time
By David Husted
Listening to an old song
Made on an old four track player
That old cassette tape
Hiss, fizz, click and waver
Holding back my sweet melodies
But in my mind's eye
guitar don’t sound so bad
I hear more high end, yea,
It's coming in clearer now
Nothing gonna hold back my sweet melodies
Listening to an old song
Made on an old four track player
That old cassette tape
Hiss, fizz, click and waver
Holding back my sweet melodies
chorus
This is our time
Verse
With a little less running on empty now
That tape hiss, click, fizz is
Something I actually mix in
It just feels better
Just a touch for a new song's edge
chorus
And when my mind hisses like a old cassette tape
or a VHS or crackling short wave, don’t give in; live through it
This is our time
Bridge
when that new dawn follows you
Throwing paint against that wall
Could be crap; it could be art
Like a Lost and hungry dog
gnaws your pant leg; starts to growl
Until a melody
Lands
Chorus
And through this new song
This World don’t look so bad
I hear more high end, in it too
It's coming in clearer Than my old tapes ever do
Our time

Lyrics:
ECHO CHAMBER
by David Husted
V1
the hand coming round it just won’t stop
Here Comes the After Shock
that's just where my mind defaults
truth; an imposition
Birds of a certain feather flock
Sweet; lies to cling to
Can you find a way to make it stop? Drip, Drop
Normalized mind rot
Pre-Chorus to Chorus
He’s cast a spell on you
He keeps you so amused
Running scared, Unaware, Flinching at the Nightmare’s
Echoes
V2
I think the evidence is clear
fear…….wins elections
infect the body politic (tock)
Divide and Conquer
I know they never realized
So Lost in echoes streaming Big Fat Bold Face Lies
Pre-Chorus to Chorus
He’s cast a spell on you
He keeps you so amused
He’s cast a spell on you
He keeps you so amused
Running scared, Unaware, Flinching at the Nightmare’s
Echoes
Chorus Outro rap
He Cast a Spell on you
So confused
drowning in the fake news
mind bending
heart wrenching
tearing down the fabric
of decency, peace you see
is fading in wake of greed and
hatred, naked
and stone cold bigotry

Your Corners Curve Like Lemonade
By David Husted
Your Corners Curve Like Lemonade Sun Drops
Melting on an ocean's horizon
I Wipe the mud from my knees
over madness
The windows are weeping as I lay dreaming
Of stranded Islands
Empty and stripped clean
Ohhh… Your corners curve like lemonade
Zoo keepers open up in their cages
Bubble gum wrappers floating flames flickering orange
We're Basking in an almost; Ireland and Italy in Brooklyn
V2
Einstein and Heisenberg in parliament
Embers proliferating magic
Thriving through the time fields sucking information from the cosmos
Our very constitutions dust and water;
Gold and oil on the alter now; be a ghost to this chatter
Plot our lives in advance,………. Of the rising sands
Ch
Ohhh… Your corners curve like lemonade
Zoo keepers open up in their cages now
Bubble gum wrappers floating flames flickering orange
We're Basking in an almost; Ireland and Italy in Brooklyn
Bridge
We will not Run
We will not run

Trout Fishing in America
By David Husted
16 MAY 2020
V1a
I can't hit that top………can't take it any longer
0.1% ……….not taking new members
They say you got to give your life to me
They say they'll help you dig your grave
Still shucking that corn for da man who don't mourn you
V1b
What you gonna do when the world won't play?
What you gonna do when we break those chains?
What you gonna do when we're face to face
See our blood, sweat and tears,……. maybe a little taste of
Peace …………Love…….and some of that Amazing Grace
Pre-ch
Down for the count now, I'd really had to meet ya
rolling on the ground without your power, without your millions
Leaking out the pockets of the towered coward leaders
Bribes, lies, recognize you ain't got nowhere to rise
V1c
I refused
I will not be used
Wont give my life away
Gonna make my own plans
Gonna pay my own way
Ch
But Today, Baby
Wanna spend my life with you
Cause I Love You
{instrumental}
I lay down but I ain't gonna sleep
Cause I ain't gonna close my eyes
I am the lion; I dream
V2 {call and response}
I refused
{I Can't Hit that top………can't take it any longer}
I will Not Be Used
{0.1 % ……….not taking new members}
Wont Give My Life Away
{They say you got to give your life to me}
{They say they'll help you dig your grave}
Gonna make my own Plans
Gonna pay my own way
{Bribes, lies, recognize you aint got nowhere to rise}
Ch
But Today, Baby
Gonna spend my life with you
What you gonna do when we're face to face, You'll See
Our blood, sweat and tears,……. maybe a little taste of
Peace …………Love…….Amazing Grace
Bridge
Cracks; burning inside of my baby grand
Slap the keys like nutter-butter slippin-in the frying pan
Cranking out the metaphors better than a Brautigan
I hope he still out there "Trout Fishing in America"

Lyrics
Wild Overgrown Love
By David Husted
Youtube Video Link of my latest song "Wild Overgrown Love" at : youtu.be/dSo_YD_RJQE
Lyrics
Well I've got me a wife and kids now, a mortgage I can't afford
Three noses that need wiping attached to three faces I adore
Blue Heron pulling off a frozen pond, scent of smoke and pine
Noticing the absence of my tangled, startled mind ; shouting,
why haven't you stopped now? coffee spilling on the floor
Stuck in a car behind a car behind about hundred more
Sometimes it hits me standing at the mailbox or while I'm brushing my teeth
Or watching pixels on screen update without me "doing" anything
Stop scrambling to get more done
I think I'm dancing with Bewilderment
When your near me, Between the valley and that mountain top
Feel Me, Laying down beside you
With our steady wild overgrown Love
That's Enough
Climbing up the stairs backward, singing a melody
I think that truth makes love with beauty and a touch of misery
Perhaps the Un-relenting; Relents; Perhaps Un-Comprehending; Comprehends
Stop scrambling to get more done
I think I'm dancing with Bewilderment
Drop 10,000 different things
Don’t forget to lift up; love and family
When your near me; Between the valley and that mountain top
Feel Me, laying down beside you
With our steady wild overgrown Love
That's Enough

Lyrics
Little League
By David Husted
Got a middle class life and a little league paycheck
little, little, little, little, tiny bits
Rocks knocking me down, making that alarm ring
Greedy little Sticky little bad habits
Can't write the next line cause you're all I see
I think this song's about you cause you're all I breathe
I use a typewriter cause like the way it clicks
While I'm typing out a new song about every little bit of
This dream
Shock and Awe, Move Along, Tylenol; what's Adderall?
Speed, Feed my greedy little never ending habits
Woke up on the ground with a Splitting Head Ache
Can I bum another cigarette?
Just let me get this off my chest
Can I dig out of another mess?
Will you marry me?
Can't write the next line cause your all I see
I think this song's about you cause "You're all I breathe"
I use a typewriter cuz I like the way it clicks
While I'm typing out a new song about every little bit of
This dream

Lyrics
Sagarmatha
By David Husted
I'm unstable and Loving it
Think I might be off my meds
I'm unstable and Loving it
Can't get Everest off my chest
Drinking Green tea with a Yak
Sherpa leading he's got my back
Hear that great big Long Horn
Dead Man Walking next you
Altitudes got me up all night
Take it to the mountain now's the time
Sagarmatha a hallowed ground
Sub zero not a sound
Chorus
How High?; the sky; she knows (Sagarmatha)
To rise above the depths below (Sagarmatha)
Tibetan Fang , Himalayan Spine
it gnaws , it grinds, it kicks, it bites
Bridge
No stars are out tonight
A Wall of Snow
Those Cold Winds blow
As ice fall down in sheets
Reflecting real life misery
frozen beards and heavy lids
Blue lips whispering
Wake up, Wake Up
Don’t fall asleep
Chorus
How High; the sky she knows (Sagarmatha)
To rise above the depths below (Sagarmatha)
How High; the sky she knows (Sagarmatha)
To rise above the depths below (Sagarmatha)
Tibetan Fang , Himalayan Spine

My name is David Husted. I live in Southern Maryland and I like to make music. All my songs are original creations and lean toward a modern rock feel with plenty of musical style diversions along the way. My musical training is as a keyboard player. This allows a "Do It Yourself" musician such as myself many creative options. ... more
