AlesundNo this is not my guitar
I'm bringing it to a friend
And no I don't sing
I'm only humming along
Up here in the air
I'm just mumbling at the clouds
Wanting to be known
Ben's My FriendI woke up this morning, August 3rd
It's been a pretty slow and uneventful summer
Went to visit a friend in Santa Fe
Went to New Orleans and went to see my family
Woke up this morning and it occurred
I needed one more track to finish up my record
I was feeling out of fuel and uninspired
Laid on my bed, too hung, a little down, a little tired
Carry Me OhioSorry that
I could never love you back
I could never care enough
In these last days
Her tears fell
On her pages found me out
About her words I don't know what
Convenient ParkingSoon the chain reaction started in the
parking lot Waiting to bleed on the
big streets That bleed out on the
highways and Off to others cities built to store and sell these (plastic) rocks
Well aren't you feeling real dirty
Sitting in the parking lot [x2]
Convenient parking (is way back, way back) [x2]
Waiting to bleed on the
Duk Koo KimLooking out on my roof last night
Woken up from a dream
I saw a typhoon coming in close
Bringing the clouds down to the sea
Making the world look gray and alone
Taking all light from my view
Keeping everyone in
Glenn TiptonCassius Clay was hated more than Sonny Liston
Some like KK Downing more than Glenn Tipton
Some like Jim Nabors, some Bobby Vinton
I like 'em all
I put my feet up on the coffee table
I stay up late watching cable
I like old movies with Clarke Gable
Heron BlueLyrics to Heron Blue :
Don't cry my love don't cry no more
A crashing sky a rolling screen
A city drowning Gods black tears
I cannot bear to see
She lay under the midnight moon
Her restless body stiring
Like the RiverWe floated downstream like swans in the sun
Surrounded by friends and lovers
We watched on with smiles beaming so bright
The river behind them, the fading daylight
I knew her back from when she was young
Those days poured out faster than rounds from a gun
Scattered like shells and lost to the sea
Lily And Parrotshere she comes breakin through my window
in the early morning hours
for the moment, i am disrupted
but in time she'll make me smile
all the wonderous animals
roamin' round the earth
bring us songs of calm
Ocean Breathes SaltyYour body may be gone, I'm gonna carry you in.
In my head, in my heart, in my soul.
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both live again.
Well I don't know. I don't know. I don't think so.
Well that is that and this is this.
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get.
You get away from me.
Richard Ramirez Died Today Of Natural CausesRichard Ramirez died today of natural causes
Got amped up on speed and broke into houses
Bludgeoned people to death wrote shit on their skin and left them
They finally got and he went to San Quentin
His last murder was south of San Francisco
A guy named Peter Pan from the town of San Mateo
The little girl in the tenderloin was his first
And in the laundry room he took a doll from her fist
Space Travel Is BoringWon herself a pass to some far off moon
It was second class but what's to lose
And looking out her window she could more than assume
That you can't see air or time
She's the only rocketeer in the whole damn place
They gave her a mirror so she could talk to a face
She still got plenty lonely but that's just the case
With time, time, time
That Bird Has A Broken WingFoghorns blowing, all day sirens,
Long trip, still unwinding.
Had trouble getting out of bed,
Basked in the grey of fog instead.
Phone rang, sun ain't shining,
City I live, uphill and trying.
Walked 'round the corner,
Kid said "What the zing, that bird has a broken wing,"
Tonight The SkyHer head lay back in blankets soft white down
Her hair warm Autumn colours, floating
Our days were classroom poems, true young love
some nights we roar like lions, some we coo like doves
I left her long ago one summer, chasing dreams
I hummed good sweet explosions? sweet nothings
I broke her heart not knowing she'd return
Unlit HallwayWalking down the unlit hallway of life
There's hope I know
There's an angel she follows me
Follows me close
She touches my shoulder
Sings words so clear they bring comfort to my ear
She guided me home
