READY TO GO
There Was A Silence
You Could Hear A Pin Drop
I Could Feel The Time Stop
It Was The Right Time
I Was Ready To Go
I Heard "jon" What?
You're A Stick In The Mud
Then I Fell With A Thud
It Was A Hard Time
I Knew I Was Ready To Go
I Was A Ready To Go
I Felt High
I Was Light As A Kite
Then I Reached For The Light
It Was A Good Time
It Was Easy To Flow
And I Heard "jon" What?
You're A Stick In The Mud
Then I Opened My Eyes
I Was Staring At My Body On The Bathroom Floor
Talking To The Stereo
And I Could Swear, I Coud Swear I Was Ready To Go
Ready To Go
Ready To Go
Then I Opened My Eyes
And Realized
I Was A Beam Of Light And Love
Yes I Opened My Eyes
And Realized
I Was A Beam Of Light And Love

Feed On Me

Feed on me
I fell down
An empty Well
Five years old
I yelled and yelled
Felt a stir
Broken arm,
Something moved
False alarm
Feed on Me
I dreamt I
was a captain at sea
and my ship
hit an iceberg peak
sole survivor
without a flare
till I saw
a hungry polar bear and said
Feed on me
Feed on me
Feed on my ee ee ee ee
Long ago
In a former life
Met a cub
To weak to fight
Kingdom come
To those who dare
Throw themselves
In the lion’s lair and say
Feed on me
Feed on me
Know I know
I’m just a quoan
Living in a world
Of electrons
Watch them spin
They move so fast
That’s our fate boy
Life’s a gas
Feed on me
Feed on me

Zen And Motorcycles
I hear my echo bouncing off the mountains
And it feels so good
Zen and motorcycles
Can you see how far we’ve driven on this endless road
You said you couldn’t make it but I knew you could
Zen and motorcycles
Are you afraid of your Ego
Are you a stranger to yourself
You seem to think Im some kind of hero
I can’t solve your problems I’m no help

33rd Floor
Intro guitar first for 1X
Am, Bm, Dm, Am
I hold a black belt in karate
I got a masters business degree
I keep accounts in offshore coffers
E7, F6, Am
A safe haven for my tax-free dollars
Am, Bm, Dm, Am
Id even sell off my own mother woo hoo!
Id put two thousand out of work
Don’t like to admit it, but it makes me kinda happy
I even like it when they call me a jerk
Even like it when they call me a jerk
E7, F6, Am
E7, Am ,E7 Am
whooo hooo
whooo hoo
Whoo hoo
Whooo hooo
Am, Bm, Dm, Am
To me they’re just a piece in the pie chart
It makes me laugh when they say have a heart
didn’t get to the top by being kind
E7, F6, Am
so take your petty problems and get outta my mind
take your petty problems and get outta my mind
Am, Bm, Dm, Am
Ain't got no time to hear your worries, who hoo!
Fed you the line about adversity and strength
It’s not my fault if you’re seeking attention
from the thirty third floor you aint nothing but ants
from the 33rd floor you aint nothing but ants
CHORUS
E7, Dm, Am, E7, Dm, Am
So Jenny cancel my appointment
I’m flying off on my private jet
Power chord Major, descent to G#, G, F#(2on the E, 5 on the A),
its lonely at the top but the view is fantastic
Fmaj
because the more you lose the more I get
the more you lose the more I get
Am, Dm, Am, Dm
So you can judge me if you want to
You know that gimme gimme never gets
Am, Bm, Dm, Am
And when Im lying on my death bead
Staring at the make
Ill be able to say that I have no regrest, can I truly say that Ill have no regrets
E7 Am
Wooo hooo
Woo hoo
Woo hoo

Sun Salutations
Your life
An expression
Of the impossibility
A new Inner light
Just a reaction
To the inevitibility
Don’t ever forget
Divine calculations
Make you realize
Youve only got this moment You blink and then its gone
But you make fun of my incense, my sweatpants and my song
Were all just looking for answers, you find yours in wine
Dont burst my bubble im focused in a childs ….pose
Don’t Snub my sun salutations
Don’t Snub my sun salutations
Your heart
A petition
of accountability
And Deed
Accumulation
And connectivity
Don’t ever regret
Sublime subjugation
Not negativity
You think I look silly with a carpet on my back
Your body is a vehicle running out of gas
Im standing upside down praying to the sun
The only thing that matters is gone gone gone
Don’t mock my sun salutations
Don’t mock my sun salutations
Don’t Snub my sun salutations x8

Go-Getters
D7
Am, AminF, G, Fmaj, Eminor, Fmaj, Cmaj
Every day I walk the tight rope
Without hope
Of fitting in where I don’t belong
It’s hard to get you all to sing along
D7
Ohhhhhhh
Repeat
Well you’re so cold you never bother, to answer
You know were real people writing those letters
Don’t have to frown on all the go-getters
Ohhhhhhh
Repeat
But people can’t help to get under
Your thunder
But even dirty water puts out a fire
At least I got a girl to admire
D7
Ohhhhhhh
Am, Gmaj Am, G, D7
Oooooooo
I guess that’s why they call us
The go-getters
I guess that’s why they call us,
the party poopers
I guess that’s why they call us,
The losers
D7
Am, AminF, G, Fmaj, Eminor, Fmaj, Cmaj
If everyone is such a genius then Jesus
Won’t have the nerve to ever come back
So cant you people cut him some slack
D7
Ohhhhhhh
Repeat
You live your life like it’s a freak show, a low blow
I’m falling short of meaningful words
Everything you say is absurd
D7
Ohhhhhhh
And everyday I walk the tight rope against hope
My body I treat it so kind
I shake and bake so I can unwind
D7
Ohhhhhhh
Am, Gmaj Am, G, D7
Oooooooo
I guess that’s why they call us
The go-getters
I guess that’s why they call us,
The no-brainers
I guess that’s why they call us,
The losers
I guess that’s how it ends
D7

Jon Cohen Ex Montréal, Québec
Fantasy prom king, master crafter of cult-pop gems and multi-threat instrumentalist Jon Cohen Experimental creates sweet but potent stories that spring from curiosity. This dynamic one-man band's beguiling art rock inventions and melodic hooks promise a sultry escape from those pesky workaday hang-ups. At times folksy, indie and at times grungy, the E.L.O vs. 90’s vibe is raw and unapologetic. ... more
