Missing Out On Fun
03:37
|
|||
you'd come unexpected
you'd come uninvited
I swear you'd kick in my door
if I wouldn't come out no more
sure we had our fun
but it was a long time ago by now
I have changed since then
we were doomed to fall out my old friend
we go back so long
you've always been around
with you I could cope with the feeling
with you I could stand being
you took the edge off it
& you were so sure of it
you just lived it
& you took me right in the middle of it
tonight I feel so alone
I sure wish you would come
over with your antics
& take me out on some of it
lately I've had this feeling
it's been growing inside of me and
I've had no one to talk to
I'm sure you could pull me trough
my buddy

Outside my Door
02:30
|
|||
All the pigeons on the balcony
Tuned in to my misery
And they all fell dead
to the ground
And the fish in the pond
Surfaced upside down
You’re somewhere else
I’m stuck in nowhere
Feeling out of place
Trying to live my life
I’m trying trying trying
To live my life
But I feel so lost
And out of passion
And I've run dry on
Imagination
I met you on my door step
I wish you’d come back
And take me out
Just like that
Outside my door is the world

A Starry Night
03:02
|
|||
My life is like
A roller coaster ride
It takes me up in the skies
And way down under ground
Now I’m living here
In this dull town
With this dull job
That I just found
Sometimes I’m working nights
And even weekends
With no extra pay
For bank holidays
I seem to have lost so much
But might have won just the same
It’s all in my head
As you once said
I’m beginning to see the light
It dawned on me a starry night
I drink my beer in the morning
And my coffee in the evening
Now baby now I’m beginning to see the light
I’ve spent my days looking
For a place to fit in
And I know that you
Spent yours just the same
I meet you at the bar
And we talk about our day
Making plans for our future
Dreaming of something else

Shiny Brass Knuckles
03:59
|
|||
you were dice on the mirror
and light triggered air rifles
white socks and black loafers
you were shiny brass knuckles
you were petty crime and coffee
and bizarre chuckles
in a haunted house so creepy
you were shiny brass knuckles
we were aimlessly driving
your car smelled vanilla
always driving and dreaming
milk nutmeg and Kafka
fighting bad luck
fighting bad luck
fighting bad luck with good luck

Minefields
03:16
|
|||
1 p.m and
it's dark
piled up on the sidewalks
lay the remnants
from yesterday's fun
a laughter that died
before it began
muffled by the facade
ghosts are in awe
give standing applause
6 a.m
a little walk
goodbye at the bus stop
distress rocket's
off into space
don't let your eyes off
your suitcase
like confetti falls to the ground
you're homeward bound
reception's down
but no one can ever know
not even you can get that close
so small so protected
minefields around paper walls
Sunday afternoon
day of misfortune
fangs awaiting the dark
to devour and to tear apart
in a moment of clarity
you burn in purgatory
as real as on TV
but no one can ever know
not even you can get that close
so small so protected
minefields around paper walls

Lucky Charms
04:46
|
|||
It was all about
Magic & mystique
Stellar constellations
Blue moons & energies
Tormented gargoyles
Anticipating good fortunes
As to ward off evil
Talismans & good luck tokens
I heard your black cat
Went haywire
Nested beneath a ladder
& spat hairballs on fire
And at the break of dawn
A ladybug lay,
flipped by the window
In a dead silent sway
Hold on to
your lucky charms
Crescent moon
Sparkling spider web
A spider nestled in your birthday cake
To hatch in its deathbed
You were amazed your doodle
Was perfect circle
But it really was
A beheaded beetle

To the Gallows
02:32
|
|||
I went to the gallows
I held my head up high
I went down there to prove to myself
that I wasn't afraid to die
I skipped my last meal
what drink is on the menu?
what ever you like it's your night tonight
but there wasn't
much to choose
the beer was stale
& so was the air
people gathered up everywhere
& I tried to blend in & look casual
just like I didn't care, but I did
and now the bells chimed
it was my turn to bathe in the lime light
on shaky legs I climbed up the stairs
from deep inside I cried
I complied
with the hangman
he put my head in the noose
I looked out on the people
& it broke my heart
to see them so amused
as I fell through the floor
of their old contraption
the crowd gasped as the rope snapped
& I landed on my back
I went to the gallows
I held my head up high
I went down there to prove to myself
that I wasn't afraid to die
I went to the gallows
I tried to stand up tall
as I came to
man was I surprised
That it wasn't my time after all

Apple Cheeks Fanfares
03:35
|
|||
Troubled spirits
Fatigued and broken
Like ferrous to magnets
To two for one restaurants
Bumblebee-badge gang jackets
We saw no omens
Among artists and poets
The siren-song beckoned
For the greatest summer
Waiting was a torture
Oh, that long awful winter
I swear it would have lasted forever
Autumn chills
Smokey cold breaths
We like our dreams were
Yet to be broken and
Gloom and despair were
Looming over us
All these memories are accompanied
By an apple cheeks fanfare

Ruins
03:07
|
|||
Twisted streets
Warped in time
Like ghosts we’re back
And we're out of our minds
We’re running down
the same old streets
More souvenir shops
and more graffiti
Pretending not
To be heart broken
Chasing something
That already happened
We’re bouncing off old ruins
Fired off
Like cannonballs
We were bouncing off
The city walls
We lost our
Memories
In the city parks
Bars and allies
City lights like stars
They beckoned
We were chasing any kind
Of action
We’re bouncing off old ruins
We’re bouncing off old ruins

Pictures of the Dead
02:31
|
|||
Some say a picture
Can take your soul away
She lived by the cemetery
and at my visits she show me the way
Through conjure dust and ashes
Between ghostlike tombstones
Every nook and cranny
Between her home and the unknown
The flashlight flickered
My memory lingers
We were only children
We were just kids
The flash light flickered
and my memory lingers
We were only children
We were just kids
