shoot the moon
shoot the stars
the sun beats down
on highway cars
listen to a long drive
endless road sign
jigsaw jive
fretless groan grind
but the question stands
baby do you love me
behind the boathouse
secrets of the lake
unveil the cheating spouse
regret the burning stake
unknown in motion
wireless connection
undone in moments
of loveless direction
but the question stands
baby do you love me
demon red summon
circle angle sticks
you get whats coming
to you to me so sick
the moon and sun
in november rain
too soon to gun
the december train
jesse james dream
betty slams the door
in your face scream
buckets of blood on the floor
but the question stands
baby do you love me

Mayflower Road
03:34
|

a walk down mayflower road
the echoes of photographs
of girls and boys running past
fields in the sunlight dreaming in daylight
running through the night
as it all begins so wonderfully
as it all turns round so fully
trivialities turn to walls
walls of steel and bone
melded in my mind
unbreakable
small things
such small things
shame me darling
please save me darling
a trip to ocean view
animosity hums within me
the grains of sand
the laughter of children
the brass in a big band
then the strings
bring their sorrow so sweet
these small things
revealed as our eyes meet
small things
such small things
shame the sea sparkling
please swim out with me and let me sink beneath your soul
such small things
deprive me
revive me
such small things
depress me
repress me
these small things

speaking with a stranger
always in danger
i would like
to fly to friday night
to find my baby girl
and tell her everything is alright
on the seventh day sleep
this liquor tastes cheap
i wouldnt mind
if i couldnt find
my way to the bar
and miss my midnight fist fight
and its all because of you my baby girl
without you it was pound for pound
and without you my head hit the ground
but because of you im always found
and i know that im safe when im face to face with you
never gone fishing
yet im still missing
out of the scene
skinny and mean
running from police
spending my nights on the streets
you call me baby
i call it crazy
that i would be
so blessed to see
your face as you sleep
say yes the to sunrise shining inside your eyes

Best Of Three

best of three
you stole the best of me
breath upon the breeze
death within the wind
and we breathe it in
and we breathe in deeper
and we wave goodbye
to last nights lovers
to last call drunkards
to cast out the sinners
we know who you are
and we know youre forgiven
pastures in paintings
rosey glasses tainted
by the blood from my brow
my head bangs the wall
the red stains the hall
my bed claims my soul
all among these tales
these myths black sails
run until you fall
swim until you sink
fly until you die
live forever in her mind
forever lovely in her blue gren eyes
for misery loves company
and busy bees buzz comfortably
around and in and out of spheres
neither here nor there
never really going to anywhere
never really coming from anywhere
curse this street of preachers
pounding our damnation
grounding down our sides
grinding upon the walkways and byways
sidewinder sleeping away the days
climbing up each and every step more and more sideways
hear them creak crack and speak
look at me now love
scream at me me now love
look at me now love
and kiss me goodbye
look at me now love
dream of me now love
look at me now love
and kiss me goodbye love

Home Run
03:01

do it live
do it loud
thunder crash
under ground
clashing of steel
driving men down
turn around
in the wood
here he comes
better run
better run
better run run run for your life
and mama screams
and baby cries
for the fleas and the bees and the rats and the gnats
theyre breeding under the boards
and bleeding out the walls
in hte kitchen in the stairwell in the hall
and the fly on the wall oh he hears it all and just bides his time
i hear the sirens see the smoke smell the intoxicating air inhale exhale
i taste the promise of fall as i take my last call and head out into the night
cuz im a big big man and yes i can
kiss a girl and kill a man and memorize my rights
as the storm grows strong the whirlwinds wail
i board up the house hoping ill pass out
and wake up in a whole new town
clashing of steel
driving men down
thunder crash
underground
do it live
do it loud

Ghosts
03:37
|

still these curses that scar my skin
been knocking on her door all night
no answer not even a whisper
of life inside yet light pervades
the shades and shadows passing
in the damp lamplight in the deep dark
this hour of darkness this time
it is time to leave to never speak
never again into her ear cheek to cheek
lips touch lips hand strokes hand
caress no more these fickle feelings
betrayed come morning so says the silence
another in my place was it ever mine
or her empty glass to drink her fill and refill as she divines
i forget myself in the presence of mirrors
reflections of what could have been or may yet come to pass
what could feel bending mass what could fill this empty glass
gravity slows time and heart beats fast
ghosts of summers and rainy days past
long late talks of god and love and death and faith
short strings drawn tight and knotted without grace
all i wanted was to see your face
all i ever needed was your embrace
all i now know is foul and fake
scar my skin mar my mind bar my heart
but i guess my soul is still intact
though faint and black
still flows my blood
in my veins my bones my marrow
am i bow drawn taught awaiting an arrow
to set ablaze this damp lamplight
come find me on fifth and main
come find me set true my aim
come find me before i forget my name

Afterlife
03:31
|
|||
smoke in a green room
roses are in bloom
thorny and lovely
for a soul ever lonely
i can see everything
you can say anything
a promise unforgotten
been spoiled gone bad turned rotten
flower wont you follow me down
flower wont you follow me down to the river
we can drink from the silver stream
we can laugh under luminous skies
we can sing from our lungs of our dreams
we can dance until the night dies
flame under the spoon
cretin feeding in the moon
when did a friend go
why won wont this tree grow
better than dead forfeit
picture perfect portrait
a promise long forgotten
i promise you're forgiven
blood on the floor
and blood on the sheets
drag me no more
down the shadowless streets
now give me the rope
and give me the knife
now give me the hope
of an afterlife
find me on king street

The World Ends With You
01:41
|
|||
the world begins with you
carving out the oak pantheon
names in hearts in the bark on trees
did you not feel those dirty paws
did you not hear the busy bees
over and over and under my skin
clawing at the door now please let me in
at night so sore a sight of horror
we loved in the light and fled in the dark
i remain a shadow in that once brightening spark
lightning striking streaking acros stormy skies
sometimes frightening perhaps once upon a time
perhaps i was never really here
and you were always a dream
a single tear slips from eye into a stream
the world empty without you near
then you sailed away
carrying my hope
stealing my sight
tighten the rope
with all of my might
then i wave goodbye
forever
the world ends with you
