Still Dream

Still Dream
Living down beneath the cool dark ceiling
Falling slow among the sunken beings
I still dream
I still dream
Down below, my place of quiet pleasure
Blind in sound, gone by certain measure
I still dream
I still dream

Song
Every night
I lie awake and try
To find sleep somewhere
I’ll take it anywhere
Don’t you know it never comes when you want?
This sound, it spins
My nervous wheels
Too much to feel
Song that song
What was that song that song?
The one where everyone came
And we all felt the same
The rush that never stops
We floated to the top
And everyone
Their guns were set on stun
I’m trying hard to take this tune
With me
To the other side
Of sleep tonight
My aching back
Is filled with jagged cracks
And my neck will break
Every other day
Don’t you know it never comes when you want?

Indian summer Takedown

Indian Summer Takedown
It could have been the start
Of something big, just a part
When the light gets like that
I explode
Now color me depressed
All my nerves got undressed
Turned the tables on the stars
And now it’s gone
Too far gone
How can you go on?
Too far gone
How can you go on?
Indian summer takedown
It came out wrong
All the words were too strong
There’s no keeping track
Of what goes bad
Standing on a ledge
Where the toes meet the edge
Thinking of that day
When things went right
This is not a bill
A notice or a will
Every meaning has a word
That never fits
Came into the cold
That light was just gold
October caught me with my hand
Outside the door

Blackbird Fields
Pulling hard, slow and deep
Fell asleep on my feet
All good times
All good times
Washed away on blackbird fields
In slow motion through the door
Still the fool, like before
Looking up
Looking up
Washed away all those years
Down to nothing off the block
Crowding in – just a look
“Carry on,
Carry on”
Coming down on blackbird fields
Coming down on blackbird fields

Blue Flowers On The Highway
She talked herself right out
She could not stop
She could not quit
Like a sun that would not set
She soon burned out
From all the shit
And the coffee can pour itself
You wait your turn or just get out
There’s nothing else
Blue flowers on the highway
The train it don’t stop here
They ripped the tracks
And pulled them out
So she dreams her days away
And nods her head
But she’s checked out
And they watch her wearing thin
And shake their heads with knowing looks
But she’s not there
Blue flowers on the highway
And the coffee can pour itself
You wait your turn or just get out
There’s nothing else
Blue flowers on the highway

Difference

Difference
Came on to a place
Of hazy lines and blurry shapes
But I was freed up by the time
Of going nowhere line to line
And on a frozen lake
I disappeared and took no shape
And fell into a world so fine
What difference could it make?
The hours wasted here
I could have wasted anywhere
And then the fever came
It freed me up – you’re still the same
And on a bent back road
They all line up and then unload
And leave me in a vein
So fine
What difference could it make?
What difference could it make?
What difference could it make?
It’s just a smile soon to break
What difference could it make?
It’s just a smile soon to break

Anything From Now
Always talking but never laughing
The trail it was laid out
Your patterns were made out
Closing all of the portal doors now
I couldn’t see you face
But my thoughts were full of grace for you
I’m hoping that you’re knowing that
Anything from now is better anyhow
I’m knowing that you’re hoping that
Everything from now is better anyhow
Crawling back to a brand new old you
I always cross the line
I’m always losing time
Give me less than this nothing happens
A taste is all it takes
And my bridge will surely break again
I’m hoping that you’re knowing that
Anything from now is better anyhow
I’m knowing that you’re hoping that
Everything from now is better anyhow
I’m hoping that you’re knowing that
Anything from now is better anyhow
I’m knowing that you’re hoping that
Everything from now is better anyhow

Down The Street

Down The Street
So many nights I can’t recall
Too many times I slipped to fall
Most are only hoping to be heard
You were just a broken toy
A burned out house with no more joy
Fishing for a hook to set your place
I heard people passing by
And they laughed their way
Down the street that day
I stayed in bed for endless days
Nights and weeks are years some ways
Listen to the shadows coming through
You reached me on my roof top perch
Misunderstood and in the lurch
I’m trying just to find a way to say
A sound so evil
A sound so evil
It’s not my fault
It’s not your fault
It’s not our fault
It’s no ones fault
Endlessly I cut the land
Beat the horse and killed the band
Children sometime grow up and stay young
The bells and whistles in the phone
Make me wonder who’s really home
Genius skips a generation son

Green Eyed Stars

Green Eyed Stars
When everything is in between
And nothing seems to be happening
You’re the one with pale blue skies
Smiling all your light on me
Feeling all right
Oh the green eyed stars
Oh the green eyed stars
I couldn’t make sense of anything
Every pulse was sharp and mean
Came along in sheets of light
Seas of joy and raw insight
Feeling all right
Turn the white heat on
Turn the white heat on
Turn the white heat on
Turn the white heat…
On - and on
On - and on
Common place and settled in
Makes it feel like death will win
Every day you open wide
Crack the code and fly again
Feeling all right
Oh the green eyed stars
Oh the green eyed stars
Make me want to say
Make me want to stay…

I Don't Want
03:33

I Don’t Want
I don’t want to find you all alone
Waiting for some call beside the phone
With dirty yellow lights above
And gutters filled and overflowed
Hoping for the day you’re called back home
Words and all can’t make this go away
Planning for some unforsaken day
I’ll carry you to the top I guess
Remembering how you did it best
The circle will unfold and eat its tail
Always in my mind you know
You told me all the ways to go
Still I’m foolish after all
But when the two is one again
I’m holding on for you
In the time it took to come this far
All the things you hold are now just shards
Happiness is over rated
Expectations crashed on take off
But you were always there and good to go
I don’t want to find you all alone…
I don’t want to find you all alone…
I don’t want to find you all alone…
Or going home

Let It All Come Down

Let It All Come Down
I saw you drinking from the mermaid’s cup
The world’s a burning and you’re filling up
I know you can’t get shot
I know you can’t get shot
Let it all come down
Let it all come down
I walk the wires I walk the lakes
Give me the mountains, lovely to see
I know you can’t get shot
I know you can’t get shot
Let it all come down
Let it all come down
Oh no you got it wrong…
Oh no you got it wrong…
I can’t believe it
I can’t believe it
I can’t believe it
I can’t believe it
Oh the hawk now, oh the dove
Got an iron fist in a plastic glove
I know ya’…
I know ya’…
Let it all come down
Let it all come down

Broken Song

Broken Song
When the music starts
I watch from over here
Your dance is a fire
That burns off the air
There’s no one on the dance floor
There’s no one but you
The music is soft A
But I hear that broken song
Well I am a young man
Soon I’ll be dead
If you were a rich girl
Well maybe I’d live
There’s no one on the dance floor
No one but us
The music is soft
But I hear that broken song
Go back to nowhere
That’s where I’m from
And tell them we’re coming
As soon as we’re done
There’s no one on the dance floor
There’s no one alive
And the music is dim
But I hear that broken song

Murder Crow
Crawling down to the water
On a slide to a dirty old boat
Got your knife and your money wrapped up
Couldn’t wait for the horn to blow
Set out for somewhere
I’m not really sure
They found you floating
Miles from shore
Murder crow
Fields play under the winds hand
Chrome waves rising in flow
I watched down the avenue
Tall buildings waiting to go
Set out for somewhere
I’m not really sure
They found you drifting
Miles from shore
Murder crow
Murder crow
