Lyrics to Alchemical Dependency

Alchemical dependency

Can’t go through life with no in your heart
You can mix pop rox with jolt and sweet tarts
Came to party in this bitch so let the party start
Burn hits up charts, turn farts to art

Call me Al Chemical mold flesh to gold
Drum beats bang booties into tootsie rolls
I’m known to turn the other cheek into a profit
And every time you hear me speak, you hear a prophet

You ain’t gonna stop it
Turn the other cheek into a profit
I’m so sprung when I open my eyes
Every day I wake up and get addicted to life

 I spout off words running my mouf sprung a leak
All the ladies say “honey, Money Shot’s a speak freak”
Burn Hallow’s Eve calories from tricks to treats
The brave inherit the earth, the meek inherit the weak

Call me Mr. Show I’m understandishable
Drinking cokesacola claxic with the new pope
Turn the USA into a UFO
Hear the shit I say, say them shits is doh!
(real doh, on the real)

You ain’t gonna stop it
Turn the other cheek into a profit
I’m so sprung when I open my eyes
Every day I  wake up and get addicted to life

(we should go out for coffee some time)

I'm addicted to change
addicted to weed
addicted to language
fucked from tv
I'm a fiend for  music
g-g-gimme a beat!
strung out from getting your ass out that seat
I'm a fool for the girlies walking down the city streets
when they ass go boom and they titties beep beep
celebrity porn is like heron to me
hooked on phonics, phonetically
you see the more.....

 the more I travel round this crazy world
the less places there are to hide
you might get sprung over a dime or a girl
but I'm deeper than that, yeah,
cause I'm addicted to life

Lyrics to Her Favorite Song

Her favorite song

I play dj
Spinning other people’s songs all day
I could blow away this bar
But I can’t play the guitar
She begs me for bon jovi
She’s so drunk she’d promise anything
Buys me an umbrella drink
But will she be there in the morning

She’s screaming
All night long
She keeps beggin’ me to play her favorite song
She’s screaming
All night long
Boy you gotta spin it till the moon goes down
So she can get down


Underneath 9th st
Slackers boogie to the local freaks
I’m stuck backstage running sound
While these honeys run around (lookit all the honeys)
Put a guitar in my hands
I’ll turn alcoholics into loyal fans
When I finally get my chance
Even the chick behind the soda jerk will get up and dance

She’s screaming
All night long
She keeps beggin’ me to play her favorite song
She’s screaming
All night long
Boy you gotta spin it till the sun comes round

She’s screaming “if you play my song for me I’ll be grateful eternally
Shake my thing till 4:03 and leave with you in the morning

That’s what she promises
I stare into her dress
Her hypnotic cleavage
Gets me so distracted and the record skips record skips
Closing time comes around
But c-c-crazy Katie ain’t nowhere to be found
She’s passed out on the backstage couch
Her head will be screaming in the morning

She’s screaming
All night long
She keeps beggin’ me to play her favorite song
She’s screaming
All night long
Boy you gotta spin it till the moon goes down
She’s screaming
All night long
She keeps beggin’ me to play her favorite song
She’s screaming
All night long
Boy you gotta spin it till the sun comes round
So she can get down

Lyrics to Hero with 1000 Eyes

HERO WITH 1000 EYES

(THESE ARE DREAMS)

PLEASE HOLD ON
I STILL SEE THE FUTURE WE LET SLIP AWAY
ALL ALONE
IT’S THE EGO’S JOY TO SEPARATE
WHEN DAYS FALL DOWN
AND THE STARLESS NIGHT’S AN INFINITE DECAY
NEW HOPE DAWNS  
ON THE FOOLISH AND THE BRAVE

IN MY DREAMS EVERY REGRET
IS WASHED AWAY IN CAMBELL’S RIVERBED
STREAMS OF NEW MYTHOLOGIES
METAPHORS LIVE LITERALLY
NOW I CAN SEE AS OTHER’S SEE
A LIGHT THROUGH HISTORY

I
I’M THE HERO WITH A 1000 EYES
EVERY LIFE YOU’RE LIVING IS MY LIFE
AND IF YOU SHOW ME JUST WHAT IS RIGHT
I WILL FIND OUR WAY OUT OF THE NIGHT

LIFE’S NOT LONG
FOR A HOLLOW MAN TO WIN A MORTAL DAY
BUT LIFE GOES ON
THROUGH THE GENERATIONS WE CREATE
HEROES GONE
BURNED PROMETHEAN, AND LIVED TO SEIZE THE DAY
NOW OUR TIME COMES
TO REVEAL THE WISDOM THEY ONCE SAVED

SOME ARE FOOLED SOME OF THE TIME
BUT YOU CAN’T BLIND A HERO WITH A 1000 EYES
YOU MAY THINK THE STORIES LIE
I BELIEVE THEY ARE ALIVE
WORDS TO BRIDGE THE GREAT DIVIDE
A THOUSAND SYMBOLS POINTING TOWARDS A SINGLE

I
I’M THE HERO WITH A 1000 EYES
EVERY LIFE YOU’RE LIVING IS MY LIFE
AND IF YOU SHOW ME JUST WHAT IS RIGHT
I WILL FIND OUR WAY OUT OF THE NIGHT
I’M THE HERO WITH A 1000 EYES
EVERY LIFE YOU’RE LIVING IS MY LIFE
AND IF YOU SHOW ME JUST WHAT IS RIGHT
I WILL FIND OUR WAY HOME

THEY SAY ITS DARKEST BEFORE THE DAWN
(I WILL FIND OUR WAY HOME)
THE DAWN IS OVER, NOW ITS OUR TIME
(TIME MELTS STREAMS)
STREAMS OF NEW MYTHOLOGIES
(THESE ARE DREAMS)
METAPHORS LIVE LITERALLY
NOW I CAN SEE AS OTHER’S SEE
(A LIGHT THROUGH HISTORY)

I’M THE HERO WITH A 1000 EYES
EVERY LIFE YOU’RE LIVING IS MY LIFE
AND IF YOU SHOW ME JUST WHAT IS RIGHT
I WILL FIND OUR WAY OUT OF THE NIGHT
(I WILL FIND OUR WAY HOME)
I WILL FIND OUR WAY OUT OF THE NIGHT
(I WILL FIND OUR WAY HOME)
I WILL FIND OUR WAY OUT OF THE NIGHT
(I WILL FIND OUT WAY HOME)
(A LIGHT THROUGH HISTORY)
(THESE ARE DREAMS)

Lyrics to Stereo





Stereo

I  receive in stereo
And emit a soothing glow
And I’m in your mind
It’s a clever scenario
When you become your own hero
Then you unwind

There’s a real relation you don’t understand
Mythic box of complications opens in your hands
And as I wade through dissatisfaction
I know you lie

Compromise my dignity
To get you to look at me
And I won’t go away
In the spiral of history
I’ll be there, repeated endlessly
A hero to them, but a tyrant today

There’s a real relation you don’t understand
Mythic box of complications opens in your hands
And as I wade through dissatisfaction
I know you lie

Lyrics to The Reason


THE REASON

Punked I push the paper boulders up the week forever
Drunk on mediocre missions chasing trash for treasure
Origami time machines fold my life together
To an endless string of Wednesdays holding now to never 

What can I do? I must pursue this money shot into the blue

And what is the reason
When a soul conceived in freedom
Falls entangled in its dreaming
Is the reason to be?

I’ll melt the mirrors till my fire's smoke and sand
I’ll earn enough for us if you trust me to be your man
(8 days a week)
I work a hard days night the paperback rains help
(I need somebody)
to feed the Heavens underneath my frozen over (hello hello hello)

What makes a teenage carnivore become a corporation whore?

And what is the reason
When a soul conceived in freedom
Falls entangled in its dreaming
Is the reason to be?

I shoulda slaughtered every worthless rule
I woulda tore this fucking world in 2
I coulda sworn I’d never bend or bruise
The Buddha grabbed the ring and tagged the moon

Wish I had know how much I had to prove
I woulda whipped the horse’s eyes to glue
I coulda gave a shit and made a move
I shoulda quit this bitch and spit the truth

But now it’s building up inside of me
Still wearing half a heart upon my sleeve
I’m like a dollar bill without a dream
Fallen far off from the money tree

 So now I’m grinding daily finding maybe
All my time is wasted paper chasing
Faced with endless strings the Wednesdays bring
I’m even melting clouds for silver linings

And what is the reason
When a soul conceived in freedom
Falls entangled in its dreaming
Is the reason to be?

Its this conditioning
To fish for pole positioning
That leaves us living wishing
For a reason to be

Lyrics to Cobalt Silver

 COBALT SILVER

The whole world’s bust a nut with out a screw
Inside my magic pumpkin room
Magnetic poles have switched
The tiny earth lost her shit
Broke all her marbles two by two

And if it all becomes too much for you
Picture silver rain painting fields of cobalt blue
And if it all becomes too much for you
Picture silver rain painting fields of cobalt blue
The weather shines inside my heart for you
Showers silver rain feeding fields of cobalt blue
And if it all becomes too much for you
Picture me loving you

Scramble cross this twisting burning world
Butterfly nets catch the biggest wave to drown you down the swirl
Girl no matter what you do you’ll never find a love like I feel for you
unless of course you do

And if it all becomes too much for you
Picture silver rain painting fields of cobalt blue
And if it all becomes too much for you
Picture silver rain painting fields of cobalt blue
The weather shines inside my heart for you
Showers silver rain feeding fields of cobalt blue
And if it all becomes too much for you
Picture me loving you

I need you to need me this way
When you trip across my fate
And you drift over so many lifetimes
Now one of them is mine
If love is blind then defy time
and trace my story on my simian line
Know me in your heart as I feel you in my mind

And if it all becomes too much for you
Picture silver rain painting fields of cobalt blue
(I feel you in my mind)
And if it all becomes too much for you
Picture silver rain painting fields of cobalt blue
The weather shines inside my heart for you
Showers silver rain feeding fields of cobalt blue
And if it all becomes too much for you
Picture me loving you
Silver and blue
Picture me loving you
Silver and blue
Picture me loving you

Lyrics to Fall Off the Earth

I believe I am going to start publishing the lyrics to Boduvt here, mostly cause I would like them easily available to anyone who might be enjoying the album.  Please stop back from time to time and eventually I'll have the whole album's lyrics on this here blog, for the record, so to speak.

Let's start at the start:


 FALL OFF THE EARTH
paralyzed as you walked by
we'd been talking about you that day
careless coincidence left me behind
while your next victim led you away

can you understand what you have done?
all said and gone I am the stupid one
I lit my last broken cigarette upon the setting sun
 and burned the dawn

now everybody sings the songs they wrote for you to me
since you threw away the comfort of my company
serenaded by a dead end symphony
and searching for a guarantee
guarantee
guarantee
to the mystery

I sat alone on 2nd ave
collecting my debts in a garbage bag
my broken heart safe for a while
from the synchronicities in a circular file

"goin' to the chapel" played in the air
like a dead end symphony when you appeared
for better or for worse I realized you’d left me forever
and ever

now everybody sings the songs they wrote for you to me
since you threw away the comfort of my company
serenaded by a dead end symphony
and searching for a guarantee
guarantee
guarantee
to the mystery

don’t fall apart for her you're one of the many
she’ll never understand what your love is worth
just play your part in her dead end symphony
she’ll lead you on until you fall off of the earth

Lyrics copyright 2010 Towbin/Ristaino

Links to the rest of the Boduvt lyrics are listed in a nice orderly column somewhere just to the right of these words.  Please take a gander at 'ems.

"Her Favorite Song" featured on the newest Invisible World with Frank Todaro show

Agents

AoV's smash hit "Her Favorite Song" was recently featured on the last episode of Frank Todaro's Invisible World interview show (its episode 36 if you want to listen to the show on Frank's site.) The hour long web show features Frank and yours truly (Zuben aka Phil) talking at length about pyramid shaped ufos, the ghost of TV's first superman, George Reeves, underwater orbs, and meaning behind the Agents of Venus name and our album title, Boduvt. Dig in and dig it:


I have to say, this interview just barely scratched the surface of a larger subject I'm looking forward to exploring, either with Frank or here in blog form (probably both). That subject, the seemingly contradicting understanding of the planet Venus being represented historically (in western traditions) as either Venus or Aphrodite (or maybe Isis or Mary Magdelene, perhaps?), the goddess of love and beauty, as well as Lucifer, the first cast out angel from heaven, the Lightbringer, that much maligned representative of all things hidden and nefarious in this world.

I inadvertently seem to blame the Freemasons for representing the latter in our discussion, without being able to really explain why I say it and what I really mean by it. I'm not going to go into it yet here, but I will eventually explain myself in a future post (hopefully in the near future). I do want to admit that I have nothing against those wacky kabalists the Freemasons in general. During the interview, I was trying to spout out a large idea in a small amount of time, and I didn't really formulate my idea all that clearly.
If you'd like to learn more about Venus in relation to Freemasonic symbolism, you might want to check out this earlier post, which features two great video presentations about the subject.

Suffice it to say, when choosing the band name, I was trying to find a way to bring to polarities, two opposing ideas together under one roof, so to speak, in hopes of creating a higher level of perspective on just what the morning star (Venus) means to our little planet and our world traditions. It seems to me that its time to unify polar opposites, not only because we surely could use a fresh perspective on the seemingly endless struggle of good and evil in this world, but because the struggle itself is indicative of a 3rd dimensional perspective, as the push/pull of the polar opposites seems to be (to me) the creative force in action in our world, and I believe, since we appear to be moving into times that call for us to broaden our awareness of higher levels of reality, then the act of unifying these polarities is the action that propels one into these higher levels. I promise somewhere down the line I will do my darndest to explain this further (or "furthur," as the Merry Pranksters might have put it.)

Later on in the conversation with Frank, we talk about several pyramid shaped ufos that have been spotted in the past year or so.  One that appeared above Moscow right after the Obama accepted the Nobel Peace Price and the Norway Spiral appeared, and one much more recently that showed up to dramatic effect over Taiwan.  They are both worth having a gander at, so for those of you keeping score at home, here's video of both pyramid 'boduvts."  Consider it extra material to enhance your experience as you listen to the interview.

Here's the Moscow Pyramid:


and the Taiwan Pyramid (this one is especially cool):


Keep looking up -- there are Boduvts out there waiting to have a conversation with you.....
