It makes me nervous
How one and one can make three
In you case you wander
Wonder what became of me
Don't worry your pretty head
About somethings better left unsaid
I advise you nothing
About what I came to be
I sort of blundered
I sort of floated out to sea
But don't worry your pretty mind
What's yours what is mine
Despite the rumble
There is no storm
No storm from me
If you like the thunder
You are not listening
But don't worry your pretty eyes
I came from nothing despite

Lost in the light
My eyes are blind
I can’t see
Tossed into the fight
My heart my mind
Destiny
Hey lost soul
I understand
Understand you now
Pain fossiled
Give you a hand
Give you a hand somehow
This world
Our lives
Go round and round
In the best
Lost and found
Game in town
And the joke is always
On us
Once we find peace
Destroyed by our beliefs
I am not a belief
I am a person you see
I just want some peace
Of mind
Of mind
Of mind
Of mind
I am not a belief
I am a person you see
I just want some peace
Of mind
Of mind
Of mind
Of mind
Of mind
Of mind

I am in my room
I am all alone
but that does not bother me right now
but that does not bother me right now
I am downstairs
With my best friend
My acoustic guitar
I am downstairs
With my best friend
My acoustic guitar
I live down in a basement
I don’t even come out until the dark is out
I am trying to hide
When you are getting your ass kicked
I don’t want any sun tan to prove
Who’s hurting most
I am downstairs
With my best friend
My acoustic guitar
When you are hiding from
Those that have fun and
Live their happy lives
I am here with all my friends
Down here
My piano, drums, bass guitar
They are my best
Best friends
They never let me down
Like you all do
They are my best friends
They never let me down
They are my best friends
They never let me down
I am downstairs
With my best friend
My acoustic guitar
I am downstairs
With my best friend
My acoustic guitar

Once I can find out
Curiosity and doubt
Starts to set in me
I have two messages for you
One I love you
And two you can carry on without me now
Red rock mountain is pulling me in
Blue skies vanquish my life with you
The yellow sun is teetering my love
When I see your face in the clouds above me
We’re unkept bottles of fine wine
Up down upside down inside of me
You are there
Up down upside down inside of you
I am there
Red rock mountain is pulling me in
Blue skies vanquish my life with you
The yellow sun is teetering my love
When I see your face in the clouds above me
Can you spin me now
Can you spit me out

The Story I Can Sell
03:07
|
|

Are we kind
Or are we blind
No way I can tell
The story I can sell
Are we sliding
Are we dividing
No way I can tell
The story I can sell
I am fire
I am a liar
There’s no way I can tell
The story I can sell

I am having a yard war with my neighbor
He doesn’t understand
I’m doing the best that I can
I am trying to keep up with my neighbors
A lawn like a golf course
Not in my favor
I started off doing the best that I can
Now I just don’t give a damn
I am having yard wars
Stream of conscience
Political yard signs
Stream of conscience
And what flag do you fly today
And what god do you choose to pray
The shit show
The tax shelter
Municipal war
Who’s the sheriff
Who controls them
Not me
Which team are you on
I am having yard wars with my neighbors
Ahh silly yard wars
Not doing favors
To my mind
To my mind
The shit show
The tax shelter
Municipal war
I am having yard wars with my neighbors
Ahh silly yard wars
Not doing favors

Hit or Miss
03:39

So you got away
From those small and boring nights
And now hope
It comes running in
So you test your faith
Eating truth with your white lies
And the jokes
They come flooding in
Oh how you go all out
With your pennies in the night
Hold on to your white lie
And demand your satellite
Demand your satellite
All we need to see
Is a little progress to breathe
Fall and pray to the satellite again
Without them what a night
These transmissions in the night are
Hit or miss
Hit or miss
Hit or miss
Hit or miss
These satellites in the night sky are
Hit or miss
Hit or miss
Hit or miss
Hit or miss
So you got away
From those small and boring nights
And now hope
It comes running in
These transmissions in the night are
Hit or miss
Hit or miss
Hit or miss
Hit or miss
These satellites in the night sky are
Hit or miss
Hit or miss
Hit or miss
Hit or miss

Another blue night out there
Another walk by myself
Look up the satellite in the sky
Is not love
Is not love
Happy New Year
To You
Happy New Year
To You
There never was a satellite for us
There never was a satellite for us
No matter how you cut it
These satellites above us
They are not love
They are not love
No matter if you want it
A satellite has done it
The distance between you and I
Is growing
Happy New Year
To You
Happy New Year
To You
There never was a satellite for us
There never was a satellite for us
There never was a satellite for us
There never was a satellite for us

The art of happiness
Is not I
Is not me
Is not my
The art of happiness is we
We are a surface
That is difficult to explain
To understand
Om
What do you experience in absence
I, me, and my
Om
From hostile to helpful
A seed can flourish
From hostile to helpful
A seed can flourish
Self created suffering resisting change
Self created suffering resisting change

Twenty One Ways

Twenty one ways
Come back to you
This evergreen maze
Back to you
There is no drama here
Just twenty one things
I should do
Just twenty one things
I should say
There is no drama here
All that I want
All that I had
There is no drama here
Just twenty one ways
I have been a maze
Just twenty one years
I have been in hell
There is no drama here
We are all down here
We are all found here
Twenty one
Twenty one
Twenty one
Twenty one
Come back to you

As we move on
We’re aware
Everything comes to an end anyways
As you stand up
With your back straight
You will learn to bend
Your mind’s bright
Your heart is full
Your soul is on the mend
Here we don’t ask why
Here we only try to hide
The winners say the thing to do
All in good time
Rolling back time
Sold a lie
I give up my tries
We’re holding on
We build it so high
The soothsayer says hallelujah
Why the jesters
Singing how we’ll fool ya
Here we don’t ask why
Here we only try to hide
So here and now
We learn to say goodbye to what we love
Here and now
We learn to say goodbye
To what we love
Here and now
We learn to say goodbye
To what we love
Here and now
We learn to say goodbye
To what we love

Show Me How
03:44

Can you hold me now
Like you did back then
Can you screw my eyes
Screw them back in
Can you show me why
We should be together again
Why ask why
I do it every now and then
I do it every
Here we are
Like we have always been
Hear me out
Like you never did before
Show me how
I can make you happy again
Instead of running me out
Running me out of town again
Show me how
Show me how it goes again
Show me how we can be again
Show me how we can be together again
Show me how we were so right again
Hold me now like you never did back then
Can you show me how
How to love again
Can you show me how
How to say yes again
Can you show me how
How to be wowed again
Can you show me how
How to say yes again

Do Good Magic

Our world is definitely in chaos
So there’s that
Grab your masks
Stock up on water
Are we there yet
Plan your tasks
Pray to a martyr
Are we there yet
No more doses doh
No more ho ho ho ho
Do wanna make a bet
No more doses doh
No more ho ho ho ho
Do wanna make a bet
We are out of our seams
No one cares
We are out of our dreams
No one cares
So grab your car
Some cigarettes
And plan your escape
Go far
Out there
Go out of your way today
Move forward
Don’t look back
Don’t you stop wonder
If this is real
Or do good magic
Or how it feels
We are out of our seams
No one cares
We are out of our dreams
No one cares
Do you wanna make a bet with me
That we are out of our seams
We are out of our dreams
Move forward
Don’t look back
Don’t you stop wonder
If this is real
Or do good magic
Or how it feels
Move forward
Don’t look back
Don’t you stop wonder
If this is real
Or do good magic
Or how it feels
Move forward
Don’t look back
Don’t you stop wonder
If this is real
Or do good magic
Or how it feels
Move forward
Don’t look back
Don’t you stop wonder
If this is real
Or do good magic
Or how it feels

Once there was
A happy motorcycle
In my life
Once there was
A beautiful girl
In my life
Once I was
A very happy boy
Untested
Once I grew up
I became invested
In hope
I don’t know why
A beautiful motorcycle
And a beautiful girl
They always catch my eyes
They always catch my eyes
They always catch my eyes
They always catch my eyes
Once I
Started to lose
My edge
Get back in my head
Get back the girl
Get back the motorcycle
It’s a long wait
It’s a long way from here
I don’t know why
A beautiful motorcycle
And a beautiful girl
They always catch my eyes
They always catch my eyes
They always catch my eyes
They always catch my eyes
