To Be In Love
Creature comforts cross your face
And I know it’s me
Like being young
And full of
Possibilities
I just float
Around
With you
The average life can be so stale
All chore no risk
But then you make me laugh
And It’s worth
Every bit of this
I just float
Around
With you
Could have told me
It was just that easy
To be in love
Growing old then going gray
Happens so fast
But it’s ok
To have a future and a past
I just float
Around
With you
Could have told me
It was just that easy
To be in love

Keep Going

Keep Going
Cemented to the bed at dawn
Clock rings and rings you hit reset
And forget
Dreary sigh of baggy eyes
A reflection you barely recognize
But its go time
Oh oh
You say you can’t
Oh
Afraid to fail
What kind of life is this
Hold on one more day
Leads into weeks
You’re still ok
I’m still ok
Keep going
Placating the daily grind
Shuffle of papers is death to you
We do what we do
Distracted by a lack of love
You climb over crumbled coffee cups
All for what
You say you can’t
Oh
Afraid to fail
What kind of life is this
Hold on one more day
Leads into weeks
You’re still ok
I’m still ok
Keep going

Broken Bird

Broken Bird
Tell me about your darkness
Is it like mine or is it fleeting
Like a staircase?
You pass through but never stop in
For me it is always
For me it’s forever, how ‘bout you?
Are you a man of worry?
Always pacing, pained and panicked
In a flurry
Knuckles white you’re almost manic
For me it is always
For me it’s forever how ‘bout you?
I don’t mind being a broken bird oh no
And I don’t mind the worries but
I just don’t like being alone
I don’t mind being a broken bird oh no
And I don’t mind the worries but
I just don’t like being alone
I’ll tell you about a dark place
My life bubbles, conflicts rise
To overtake
Maybe together we survive
I don’t mind being a broken bird oh no
And I don’t mind the worries but
I just don’t like being alone
I don’t mind being a broken bird oh no
And I don’t mind the worries but
I just don’t like being alone
Please don’t leave this broken bird alone
Please don’t leave this broken bird alone

Now What?

Now What?
I don’t got time for you
I’ve only got time for myself
I’ve been awake for hours
Do do do do do do do do do
The bold ones pounce
No surprise they took us out
While distracted by the flowers
Do do do do do do do do do
We’re finally up
Now what?
We’re finally up
Now what?
Rehashing daily doses
Talking heads our pharmacist
In this modern time
Do do do do do do do do do
We’re finally up
Now what?
We’re finally up
Now what?
Bridge: We can’t take our time
Do do do Do do do Do do do
As it comes crumbling down
Do do do Do do do Do do do
Defeatists ride the wave
It’s always easy to be grave
But we have to have a line
Do do do do do do do do do
We’re finally up
Now what?
We’re finally up
Now what?

Give Me Peace

Give Me Peace
When the sun don’t wilt
The leaves away
When promises are made
And secrets kept forever safe
When old friends come
From miles around
We just sit back
And enjoy this time we’ve found
This is how
Things are meant to be
Carry me forward
And give me peace
So light a fire
And have a drink
Play our favorite song so loud
That everybody sings
This is how
Things are meant to be
Carry me forward
And give me peace
Reality can be a drag
Stalemates and surrender
If trouble tries to get me down
I just let it roll off
In the warm warm sun
Of late summer days
And all of these moments
That live eternally
This is how
Things are meant to be
Carry me forward
And give me peace

Jacko
Losing his kiss in his later years
Blue’s all he gets from the ladies
The bough of his face is falling of
And he’s stuck having drinks on the rocks
When Jack comes unraveled
Is it away or around that he’ll go
I just don’t know
Poor Jacko
He sits soaking up conversation
Shocked with mouth drops as reactions
For paper dream luck he goes a grabbing
But he never catches the green
When Jack comes unraveled
Is it away or around that he’ll go
I just don’t know
Poor Jacko
He’s a long long way away
From where he thought he’d ever be
But he’s got no ends to meet
He makes the end
Look
So sweet
Oh Jacko
Losing it all in his later years
He spews stagnant and dying lies
If he wasn’t so down he’d be a criminal
Who should fess up fess up fess up

Radio News
If the radio news is bringing me down
I could just switch the voices off
I set my guilt apart
separated it from my other thoughts just locked
Away for a rainy days distraction
Perhaps for always
If my television hero is bringing me down
I could just watch an older episode
My dreams slowly corrode
as the advertisements take the space my brain use to hold to strong
now I long for entertainment
That should seem more wrong
Hey
It’s not static, if something’s getting through
Because it has to
Hey
It’s not static, ‘cause when it is the truth
It can’t fade away
If society's rules are making me mad
I’ll buy myself something that’s real nice
My greed eats bargain buys
My rooms cluttered with records/clothes I just throw away if I decide to
its another crude indulgence
I never outgrew
Hey
It’s not static, if something’s getting through
Because it has to
Hey
It’s not static, ‘cause when it is the truth
It can’t fade away
If the radio news is bringing me down
I could just switch the voices off

Off the Map

Off the Map
Leave behind phone bills and
Lifes disarray
Take pit-stop coffee over
The everyday
I like
The feeling of wind in my hair on the highway
Lets conquer the world in your old Chevrolet
And drive
Til the road falls off the Map
Succulent fresh air will
Live on my clothes
Bring on the west
Sunsets on the coast
I want
You in the drivers seat while I man the radio
Let’s each pack a bag and get ready to go
And drive
Til’ the road falls off the Map
This town is vacant we’ve worn out our welcome
Let’s live in the wind and not compromise
We could be lovers unless you don’t want that
I’d just as soon take a friend for the ride
Leave behind yesterday’s
Ribbons and shame
Live on a whim
Avoid dwelling in pain
I fear
A lifetime of longing in the absence of change
We both know we just and to cut off those chains
And drive
Til the road falls off the map
This town is vacant we’ve worn out our welcome
Let’s live in the wind and not compromise
We could be lovers unless you don’t want that
I’d just as soon take a friend for the ride

Happy Place
A muddy snowdrift hides
Your Volvo wagon well
Its been asleep for ages
Outside by itself
Hey baby where you been?
You never let me in
We used to pound the pavement
Down summit to LA
Pass the flask and talk the times
For hours upon end
I really miss those days
I hope that you’re ok
I don’t think of you much
Just a brief glimmer of time
But I’m grateful that your blooming
Overlapped with mine
Enjoy your hideaway
I hope it’s a happy place
