American Dream

American Dream

I have been waiting for my train to come 

Take me home
Back where we started from..

Alas, these tracks of 200 years worn

Have left us stranded and abandoned

Oh yeah, my ride ran by
As I glanced oer the horizon
See the hills that these children have set on fire

Aren't you even amazed?
Well I'm all a-raged
At this lie that life should bring us
Pennies from heaven

They should be made to suffer
We should be ashamed
To believe that this American Dream should last
Like heaven forever

So where with us go these wings?
All my questions..
Have only questioned everything

They stand there signing autographs
But where's the meaning?
Where's that old feeling?

So let the tide role by
Over you and over creation
Let it heal those ancient hills
They set on fire..

And here are the lyrics!

Jubilee

Oh say, can you feel it?
New winds a blowin'
From heaven knows where
So what do you care?

As for me with each day passing
My world has gotten clearer
For here in my pocket
I found a mirror...

And so I'll rise upon my wakeful hour
As I lay down beside by fateful flower
So soon will we rise
So soon she'll speak
Of the dreams laid beneath her feet
And of her feeling for the fields of spring to come

Here in the latent hour of our winter's misery
There is a well whispering this spell of jubilee
So if you see me smile as I'm walking down the street
Oh hear, can't you tell the bells a janglin' for you and me

Can't you feel the sunshine down over creation?

I've seen the nightmares
Yeah, I've been a visitor
Never belonging, but only wanting to kiss her
But now I've got the message
I got the picture
Here in my pocket
I found a mirror

Dog Days

Ramin Streets

Chorus:

"I pulled rose petals from these ashes
Took some blood from my life's vein
I walked in misty weather
To see me smile again
I sold my soul for a scrap of wood
Placed my heart in hock for a box of strings
And I told the world what it could do
With everything.." - Ramin Streets, February 13, 2009

Hey All,

Here's the new release entitled "Wasteland". The song speaks of the current state of affairs in the US in respect to culture/taste.

Hope you like!

WASTELAND

Well I've been thinking..
Quite often lately
About some things that just make sense
To only me....

I hear the universe speaking
I feel the earth beneath us creaking
I see you and me
With our heads stuck in the ground

And they say rock 'n roll is dead
I have not heard real rock in many a year
I hear whining brats and babies in lipstick
But.. no underwear

Is this what you want?
Based upon what little you know
I know she's so fine
But aren't you tired of the status quo?

I find when I gaze in the faces of those in my midst
It's a wasteland...
Vacant and shallow with no knowledge of a love like this
Such a garbage can

So here we stand
At the turn of the century
We have walked along Satan's mile
Where only crumbled parlors remain

I hear the universe speaking
I feel the earth beneath us creaking
I see our Country no longer belonging
To you and me...

They whisper the American Dream is dead
I have not slept well in many a year
I feel thoroughly exhausted
Emotionally drained by a fascist atmosphere

Hello Everyone!

Just an invite to click on over and sample my new single release "Daisy". Cheers!

Ramin

See lyrics below:

So it has gone from autumn down
Into the glazed, blue haze of winter
I saw a ghost in your eye
From whither..
What's been so far, so beautiful..

Making daisy with the one you love
Looking forward to all those days to come

So, let's pretend...
You and I are on our own
Once again...
Say hello to a heart of stone

I'm not saying that I know what this life means
It just seems there are times
We wake to find
A dream is just a dream

I walked down into Harlem Town
And I heard the sound of the mission bells
I felt a quiet breeze a forming
Fit with stories still to tell

Deep in the darkened dead of night
I awoke from my dream with such a fright
Seems so strange in this place so new
I changed my view..

Strolled out in the silence of a sound
Felt in the air until I found
Your voice a familiar call
Or a personal poem on my wall

Is it that I never really understood?
Or could it be that only someone like you would
Have it all together..

Forsaken

Lyrics to Forsaken (inspired by quote from Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol)

I've become keenly aware of the passage of time
But I've come to believe there comes a point
When you've got to go looking for your life

But, Oh God...
Oh God these dreams..
Have all but left me dry
The promise of my younger years
They've just become a pack of lies..

What on Earth has come about
To fill me full of so much hatred?
And where on Earth is there left to go
Just to get away from it?

Oh God...
Oh God, to hear the insect on the leaf
Pronouncing on the too much life
Among his hungry brothers in the dust

But, Oh God...
Oh God, to believe this feeling in my heart
That makes me want to shout out loud
Why have we been dead so long?

Our whole lives, for what they've become
You and I, cold and indifferent to some...

Everywhere and every place that I know
I cannot help but feel forsaken
For what you've taken
I just don't know...
