I am but a jester in this courtyard
I hope you can still take me seriously
I am but a jester in this courtyard
Playin' games
Doin' tricks
Foolin' me
To the baker life’s a loaf of bread
It’s a big round cake for newlyweds
(A happy couple walks toward horizon)
To the lawyer life’s a book report
For his honor, may it please the court
("You killed an innocent man," said his family)
For the gambler life is just a game
You can fool him once but not again
(The house stays in the black for the long run)
To the driver life’s an open road
But if he breaks down, then he gets towed
(A fragile package marked for late arrival)
I am but a jester in this courtyard
I hope you can still take me seriously
I am but a jester in this courtyard
Playing games
Doing tricks
fooling me
Interlude (16 bars)
The king sleeps on a king-sized bed
With a golden crown atop his head
(God is good; He grants him his dominion)
The queen lives in a house of cards
It’s patrolled by 50,000 guards
(She demands the blood of every traitor)
The little prince can be so cruel
He sits & mocks the royal fool
(I am but a jester in this courtyard)
Princess picks one from the fan
She just adores my sleight of hand
(Greets the mornin sun with a smile)
I am but a jester in this courtyard
I hope you can still take me seriously
I am but a jester in this courtyard
Playing games
Doin tricks
Foolin me

Lately I've been shining
Lighting up the sky
Baby I've been burning
Wanna stay so bright
I feel your gravity pull
Physical force of it all
We spin around & round and try to keep our balance
I think we might just collide
We might find out what's inside
Of space & time & life & death & all the planets
So I hope you're not a star destroyer
Let's not create a supernova
Let's not make a big explosion
Let's keep inside the love and the light
Lately it's been easy
You give me such a high
Baby I'm in orbit
Wanna just enjoy the ride
I hear the gamma ray burst
And I see cosmic dust
I smell & taste & touch the wreckage and the panic-
I think 'bout my friends back home
We're gonna make a black hole
Tear through the physics, math & music
Leave 'em tatters
So I hope you're not a star destroyer
Let's not create a supernova
Let's not make a big explosion
Let's keep inside the love and the light
So I hope you're not a star destroyer
Let's not create a supernova
Let's not make a big explosion
Let's keep inside the love and the light
So I hope you're not a star destroyer
Let's not create a supernova
Let's not make a big explosion
Let's keep inside the love and the light
Hope you're not a star destroyer
Let's not create a supernova
Let's not make a big explosion
Let's keep inside the love and the light

Waiting Room
02:24
|
|||
|
I was just sittin' by myself
Sittin' your waiting room
And passin' the time
You said you needed some time
I was just readin' magazines
Catchin' up on messages
You know I get a lot of messages
Makes it hard to unwind
Then I
Went to ask about my appointment
You said "just give it some time"
Said you needed some time
& when you're ready
I'll just be sittin' by myself
Sittin' in your waiting room
Waitin' away
Waitin' all day
Well I was starin' at the exit with the stairwell
Just lookin' up the weather case I went outside
I could hear my boots runnin' down the stairwell
And I checked all the trains; they were right on time
But how could I say 'no' to love?
And choose a me without an us?
Get outta my seat and walk away?
I already burned up most of my day
So I
Guess I'll just sit here by myself
Sittin' in your waiting room
And pass some more time
Just a little more time
Guess I'll just read some magazines and catch up on my messages
You know I get a lot of messages
So then I can unwind
But
Why'd I even bother getting out of bed
When it could be that you picked somebody else instead?
Yeah, I must be going crazy if I'm fixated on you
Even though I saw you getting close with that other dude
I'm gonna find the strength to get up and get outta this waiting room
Get outta your waiting room
Climb away from your waiting room
Jump outta your waiting room
Get away from your waiting room

Yo vengo del concreto
Una selva de cemento
En la mañana regresaré
De tu verde a mi gris
Me viste bailando solo
Con tus ojos claros y divinos
Me llamas un peregrino
En tu tierra tropical
Xtabay
Tú me mataste last night
Xtabay
¿Por qué no me acompañaste?
Xtabay
Tú me mataste last night
Xtabay
Ya me muero de soledad
Ahora triste vuelo
Con las nubes en el cielo
Yo tengo mucho sueño
Pero no puedo dormir
Miro por la ventana
Y el sol de mi se burla
Yo daría cualqier cosa
Por verte otra vez
Xtabay
Tú me mataste last night
Xtabay
¿Por qué no me acompañaste?
Xtabay
Tú me mataste last night
Xtabay
Ya me muero de soledad
Seguimos, seguimos, seguimos con nuestras vidas
Seguimos, seguimos, seguimos con nuestras vidas
Seguimos, seguimos, seguimos con nuestras vidas
Seguimos, seguimos, seguimos con nuestras vidas
Quizás en la próxima vida
Seremos escorpiones
Quizás en la próxima vida
Tendremos un amor
Un amor con veneno
Un amor con tiempo
Un amor con fuego
Un amor sin oscuridad
Xtabay
Tú me mataste last night
Xtabay
¿Por qué no me acompañaste?
Xtabay
Tú me mataste last night
Xtabay
Ya me muero de soledad

When it rains it pours
And when the building's leaking
It rains indoors
And I have
A plastic bucket
To catch the drops
Once the storm is started
It may not stop
Take me down to the cleansing water (down, down, down, down, down)
I want to get away from this place (away, away, away)
Gotta get down to the cleansing water (down, down, down, down, down)
Where all my earthly troubles
Get washed away (carried away)
Monsters live on glowing screens
And we're weak they enter you and me
But I have
My wits about me
Know right from wrong
The people are hungry now
The people are tired now
Take me down to the cleansing water (down, down, down, down, down)
I want to get away from this place (away, away, away)
Gotta get down to the cleansing water (down, down, down, down, down)
Where all my earthly troubles
Get washed away
Carried away, away, from the shore by the waves
Carried away, away, from the shore by the waves
Carried away, away, from the shore by the waves
Carried away, away, from the shore by the waves

Making peace
With the quarantine
I don't feel so alone
We'll just live in the computer screen
Until we all go broke
& all I need
Is a friend today
To help me live my life

Still can't get it right

Noah Dreiblatt Brooklyn, New York
I am a (woodwind) multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer based in Brooklyn,
NY.
For me, music is a tool of transcendence; a joyful means of making contact with the infinite. In all of my projects, I am guided by this belief, which anchors my perspective even as it pushes me to explore ever newer and more wondrous horizons.

Noah Dreiblatt recommends:
Lollise & Morgan are an incredible duo and I'm honored to call them friends. With "Looking at You" they explore a new sonic palette and take you on a guided tour of the cosmos.

"Ghost Light" was Karikatura's last album. We released it in 2018 and I'm still proud of it today. I learned a huge amount about writing and producing music in the process of creating it.

I played for years with Escarioka, and during most of those years we were working on "Pachahuaska." It's a psychedelic punk rock cumbia extravaganza & I still listen to it when it's time to party.
