LUCKY

You can’t save me from myself
You can’t save her
You’re lucky if you save yourself
Do yourself a favor

GHOSTS

Running along the rocks of the river
and the water’s as cold as the snow
the man is chasing behind me
and i can’t afford to falter or slow
i find solace in what we believe
or the hush of a cool gentle rain
but there’s something we love in the mystery
of a man in the midst of a change
She laughed and said i was going nowhere
’cause it’s nowhere that she’s ever been
when i get to that place she’ll remember my face
and say "hey man, i knew him when he was younger"
but she never loved me at all
she laughed when i was in pain
’cause there’s something that we are all frightened of
in the man in the midst of a change
Out on the roof to inquire of the sky
the existence of ghosts in my life
who’s to blame you or i?
no one would answer me
they just stared with the weight of the world i pretend not to feel
The windmill is poised for the battle
but the fool understands not the game
he believes in his mission, predestined position
amazing the grace of her name
oh he loves her now as he loved her then
rocinante remembers the days
when i whistled and sat waiting patiently
with the man in the midst of a change
Running along the rocks of the river
with the freedom to step where i choose
though i can’t stop to rest i like traveling best
and besides, i’ve got nothing to lose from it
i find solace in all the extremes
in pleasure as well as in pain
i just wish he would let me explain to you
the man in the midst of a change

DTLA

Ride – downtown los angeles
Ride – downtown los angeles
Trapped a dragon west of chinatown
for fire-eaters up in hollywood
My little sister took a picture of god
and floated away
Ride – downtown los angeles
Ride – downtown los angeles
When your hands are broken
when your words are slipping
put your arms around him
and go…down
Hide your money in the other hand
(observations of a regular)
Towers floating on a sea of ghosts
it’s always the same,
i told you
Ride – downtown los angeles
Ride – downtown los angeles

PUSH

Don’t you know nobody lives here
by choice anymore
don’t you know no one rides for free
don’t you know there’s nothing
that’s just pretty like before
or so you keep telling me
The ocean ain’t breaking
it’s back to look friendly
no, the killer sleeps cold
we run through the veins of the city
borrowed cars and frozen shoes
we do as we’re told
over and over and over again
can’t make a circle
so end over end we go
Come away from the window
the dogs will appear
i’ve seen them around
and now, as the head turns to hear
you speak with passion
you know me so well
why should i build
it’s so easy to sell
Push
Push
It’s never just a little
it’s never enough
It’s never enough

MAD WORLD

[Verse 1]
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, Worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, Going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, No expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrows
No tomorrow, No tomorrow

[Chorus ]
And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
These dreams in which i’m dying, Are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad World, Mad World

[Verse 2]
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And they feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, Sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, No one knew me
Hello teacher tell me whats my lesson
Look right through me, Look right through me

[Chorus]
And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which i’m dying, Are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it’s a very very
Mad World, Mad World

Enlargen your world

Mad World

BROKE WINDOW

Loaded tongue dirty fingers
queen of her mother’s house
come step outside feeling full moon high
let’s see what we can live without
Fix an eye to the dimestore villain
waiting for the wine to pour
it comes strong and thin and it tastes like sin
the love we’ve all been in before
A million ways to burn
i’m just looking out of this old broke window
and she’s taking a turn
i’m looking out of this old broke window
and she’s taking a turn
Her body lies like a landscape before you
you’re selling your soul by the pound
got snakeoil in spades for the wolftickets trade
you look but don’t see me around
A million ways to burn
i’m just standing here on this old street corner
and she’s taking a turn
i’m standing here on this old street corner
and she’s taking a turn

GREETINGS FROM THE SIDE

Keep up conversation

Pick up catch phrase

Lay it down

On the freaky side of town

Don’t let me seem so

Don’t let me wander too far

Don’t let me take too much

I didn’t need anything from you

Don’t let me seem so

Don’t let me feel so down

I know a girl who waits

All her life she’s been waiting in shame

Anticipating a change she can’t explain

Don’t let me seem so

Don’t let me feel so down

There’s a better way

Keep up competition

Pick up new phrase

Look around

On the freaky side of town

Find me a hero

Find me a chain neither binding nor broken

Name me a new find

A new name

I am not the same

Don’t let me seem so

Don’t let me feel so…

PATCHWORK G

It’s a custom made afternoon

With shrinking hands I can’t keep to myself

Springtime…Saturday

Perfect in an easy way

And it’s a custom mary sin

For angels in the dark

A lighter spark to brighten her skies

Finger feelings fingers feeling fine

Just might change this life of mine

And I’m up on inspiration drive

If you could see what I’ve seen

Patchwork woman sunshine suits you fine

Sleeping with her sandals on

In a California dream

I’m singing

“La-la-la-la-la-la think I’m up to something”

And on a custom made afternoon the candle she burns

The wheels turn and four eyes look away

Wood is getting tangled up in steam

Blue and hazel mix to green

And I’m up on inspiration drive

If you could see what I’ve seen

Patchwork woman sunshine suits you fine

Perfect in an easy way

The world behind the worlds

I’m singing

“La-la-la-la-la-la”

And I’m up on inspiration drive

If you could see what I’ve seen

Patchwork woman sunshine suits you fine

Sleeping with her sandals on

In a California dream

I’m singing

“La-la-la-la-la-la think I’m up to something”

PILLS

I’ve taken all my pills
but i’m still not sleepy
tried to trick myself into thinking
that i’m not awake
that it’s only a dream
put that cigarette out
don’t ask me no questions
salome dancing on my wall
and the shadows on the floor
look so warm from here
i’ve seen it all before
just one little lie
but the difference is this
it meant the world to me
don’t ask me no questions
"take the wheel" she said "as i wander"
we could leave this town
i’ve got all i need spirit, hope and joe
but no one knows me
i think i lost my pills
guess i’ll take my chances
i’m looking at the telephone
but nothing happens
i am well aware
that the morning is near
put that radio down
don’t ask me no questions
