Moon Roof [top]
Lost in my car
And I cannot help but think about
All the signs that lead me back to you
Back to my home
And I’m not quite sure just where that is
But I know that I will find my way
All the way home
All these places
Stored away
All my thoughts are twisted together
Los Angeles seems like a dream to me now
Get out if I could but I just don’t know how
Buried among the wreckage
Clawing towards the sounds
I’m not awake
Comatose am I and it’s feeding time at the zoo today
And I’m never going back, I won’t let you…
Los Angeles seems like a dream to me now
Get out if I could but I just don’t know how
Buried among the wreckage
Clawing towards the sounds
I’m not awake
Comatose am I and it’s feeding time at the zoo today
And I’m never going back, but it gets you…
Brutus [top]
Sick and tired of throwing my friends away
It’s more than I can count
And if I see another rumor spilled
This hearsay wears me out
I’m caught in a play I can’t get out of
It’s taking all I’ve got to suppress the angry side that smothers me…
Sick and tired of feeding the birds with you
You never bring the food
And if that wasn’t bad enough you’d still serve me if you could
You’re caught in a lie you can’t get out of
It’s taking all you’ve got to address the guilty shoes you’re standing in…
Sick and tired of throwing my friends away
It’s more than I can count…
I’m caught in a play I can’t get out of
It’s taking all I’ve got…
Acrobat [top]
Pull down your pants, I’ll kiss your ass right now
You’re giving away, you’re giving away
Your laundry, your secrets.
A little ring-a smoky fling-not now.
A couple drinks-step in the ring-take a bow.
Get in the van-pull down your pants-right now.
You’re running late-you’re running late, somehow.
You’re giving away, you’re giving away
Your laundry, your secrets.
You’re running away, you’re running away
With scissors, you’re bleeding.
Please release my taunted heart
It was hungry a second ago
Release me from your hold
You’re hardly starving for love…
Pull down your pants, I’ll kiss your ass right now
You’re giving away, you’re giving away
Your laundry, your secrets.
You’re running away, you’re running away
With scissors, you’re bleeding.
She’s Not Tangible [top]
She has red hair growing ‘round her ears and everywhere
He lives alone trying to find a house to call his home
It came in a dream, went unseen for what it’s worth…
Alone…and to dream again….
She dyes her hair making sure the roots are dark and true
He paints the spare room hoping that a coat will change his view
They met in a dream, went unseen for all it’s worth
Alone…and to dream again…
I like the many faces that you’ve made for me
I’ll wear them out in stride and hide among the weeds
But I’m not blending in
And she’s not tangible
And the masks aren’t covering
All the doubts I’m fathering for you…
She has red hair growing ‘round her ears and everywhere
He lives alone trying to find a house to call his home
They met in a dream, went unseen for what it’s worth…
Alone…and to dream again….
Notes from Underground [top]
Give me your money & your waistband
It’s really quite funny when you wear tight pants
Your love is trendy
Do it yourself, don’t do it at all
You’re nothing uncommon
A vitamin C pill under your tongue
Your hair is so pretty when it’s soaking wet
A photographic memory
Is your only friend
Your love is trendy
You cut it yourself now your hair is gone
You’re nothing uncommon
A vitamin C pill under your tongue
Forget all your chic expensive jeans
You’re taking all my money
& all of your hip trade magazines
I don’t eat clowns cause they taste funny
Bus Stop [top]
I just missed the bus
Started running to work but I’m still late
She slows down her car
What a wonderful gesture that she made
And I recognize a deal what I see it…
Watching her lips move
She was telling me stories of her life
I stared at her hands
They were telling a different stories’ side
And I recognize what’s real when I see it
And I sympathize with your…
Demeanor…
How’d we end up here?
There’s blood on the dashboard, what went wrong?
I guess I can’t control myself
What a beautiful monster I’ve become
And I recognize evil when I see it
And I sympathize with my…
Amnesia…
Swamp Song [top]
The summer sleeps, sundown on the bayou
The walking witch prowls the empty swamp…
The water boils
The mountains burn
It’s gonna be a long night…
The children tucked to sleep with thoughts of her name
She stalks the night, searching for her kin…
The martyrs boil
The sinners burn
It’s gonna be a hard fight…
You can try and get the ringing out of your ears, but her cries will remain…
Here she comes…
She’s gonna get you!
She’s wrong,
She’s gonna get you!
Here she comes…
Wish I Were Lonely [top]
Oh baby
You’re mine
My lady
Be kind
When I first saw you
You were only 15
How I hoped
& I prayed
I would someday hold you
In my arms you were safe
But you couldn’t stay true
To Your word
Or your tears
You most certainly knew
That baby
You’re mine
I’m crazy
But you’re fine
In the dawn of our years
There was never a doubt
But the times
That we shared
They have all but run out
Now you’re gone & I’m still
Holding onto this view
That you will
One day
Return to my house
And maybe
We’re fine
I’m lazy
But you’re mine
And how’s this for an ending?
We both give up wanting
The things we cannot have
Like you and I
This Road [top]
Entombed on this highway, too many miles for me…
You’re one blip in my sightline, you’re not far from me…
Tailights in the fog, I was riding around all night
I was on your trail
Short of leaving me breadcrumbs in the moon’s half-light
You’re an easy tail
Whether rain or shine, I will shadow all your moves
Wherever you may go…
Somewhere in the fog, we are only steps away
From a meeting place
I’m sure you’ll be there, cutting through the warning
lights
It’s all I know
Cause I identify with who I’ve been and who I am,
As long as you don’t go…
There is no me if there’s no you…
Country Blu [top]
Happiness is tempermental
The more you crave it the less you prove
Take it for granted and you’ll have no one
To share the memories of days long gone..
Life is nothing but
Anticipation
Learn this quickly and you’ll run…
Back to the border
Where you left someone who’s very special
She won’t remember that night in Reno
Cause we were drink on each others love (And tequila!)
Always remember that
You’re nothing special
You’re waiting for that train well,
It’s never coming
‘Cause life is nothing but
Anticipation
Learn this quickly and you’ve won.
