Re/Do

Why do we re/do
Everything we do?
Cover to cover,
Strangers and lovers?
Why must we lust for the
Very least trustworthy?
Over and under
Past the beauty and wonder?
Before things went haywire
We had a pretty good empire.
If the motor just stops now
We'll go back to the top now
Why can't we just be
How we know how to best be?
Tighten up on the tourniquet
Keep your eye on the amulet

Mind is a Mirror
03:23
|

Mind is a mirror, watch it shine
Mind is a mirror, watch it shine
What comes next is left behind
Mirror in my mind
Palindromic living makes it easy to get back
Time reflected breaks the stillness
Yearning for the last true realness
Guess the dizzy mainframe has been hacked
Words return the message to the square
Something sharp, the corner shatters
Something cold, it doesn't matter
bounces off the surface unaware
Mind is a mirror, watch it shine
Mind is a mirror, watch it shine
What comes next is left behind
Mirror in my mind
Viewed from the back the angles change
Turn cockeyed so you can capture
An empty heart embracing rapture
The moment quickly veered into the strange
Circles making circles round and round
Going back when we were young
No names were called, no songs were sung
Clouds collide and ride out on the sound
Mind is a mirror, watch it shine
Mind is a mirror, watch it shine
What comes next is left behind
Mirror in my mind

One Down on the Table
03:19
|
|||
Got a monster in my pocket,
And he's ready for a fight
But he's got to evolve
If he wants to get it right
One down on the table
Five more on my bench
Six in my treasure bag
and
Seven in my hand
⚡⚡⚡
Little electric mouse,
By my side, has got my back
Against a water spirit
With a ninety point attack
One down on the table
Five more on my bench
Six in my treasure bag
and
Seven in my hand
⚡⚡⚡
All my life I've been waiting
Hoping you'd come my way
But now I know I gotta go
And catch 'em all
Gotta catch 'em all
⚡⚡⚡
One down on the table
Five more on my bench
Six in my treasure bag
and
Seven in my hand
⚡⚡⚡

Step Lightly
03:55
|
|||
I'll keep waiting here
Till I make it clear
Gonna sort it out
Think it through out loud
Is your mind made up?
Did I lose your trust?
The yellow shade
Of a twilight raid
Step lightly
Go slowly
The soft grass stops your feet from making sound
Wind blowing
Leaves tremble
In the forest glade we can turn it around
In the forest glade we can turn it around
You tell me do as I please
So I go back in the trees
The hidden cost
Of never getting lost
The birds know where they are
Watching ancient stars
No one told them so
They all just know
Step lightly
Go slowly
The soft grass stops your feet from making sound
Wind blowing
Leaves tremble
In the forest glade we can turn it around
In the forest glade we can turn it around

Sad Songs
04:38
|

Oh, why do sad songs always sound so good?
You haven't called in a while, but I wish you would
Turn the lights down low, and the music up
I made a mess, I over-poured my cup
Tell me, why do sad songs always sound so right?
At the end of the bar, at the end of the night?
Play some old George Jones, he's singing my pain
Cause I know that you're never coming back again
Sometimes you got to just sit and cry
To get to the feeling deep inside
Oh, why do sad songs always fill that hole?
You know, I love to get down, love to rock'n'roll
But when you get real quiet and you sing real sweet
It moves my soul and it makes my heart beat
Tell me, why do sad songs always make me glad?
Had me spinning around, down the road and back
Found myself at the edge of a happening scene
But I never found a truth which I could believe
Sometimes you got to just sit and cry
To get to the feeling deep inside
Sometimes a sad song is what it takes
You can't start healing till your heart breaks

Been Young Before
04:18
|
|||
It was the day after the best day of your life
All your friends and your family and your sparkling brand new wife
All your hopes and your dreams
Busting out at the seams
But it's all right
Baby, it's all right
It was just you and the old man, standing in front of the house
The wall paper was peeling, and the ceiling was about to give out
So much time that you wasted
Back then, you can still taste it
But it's all right
Baby, it's all right
Been young before,
Been young before
We all go through that door
We all go through that door
At the Casbah, I think, you shared a drink for the very first time
It was your last chance to meet face to face, and you looked in his eyes
They were already fading
Went back home, and you was just waiting
But it's all right
Baby, it's all right
Been young before,
Been young before
We all go through that door
We all go through that door

The End's Begun
03:50
|
|||
Once she's decided, there's no spinning her
She smells a weakness, there's no winning her
A sour face, a sour word
Turns a fine wine to vinegar
Sit here taking in the sun
Wondering where we come undone
An unkind thought, an untied knot
Before we start, the end's begun
The end's begun
We're just waiting for the
Sun to keep expanding
The numbers won
Probably you're gonna be
the last one standing
We've been given everything
We treat it like some foolish dream
A noisy chase through a noisy place
We curse the taste of the sweetest cream
The end's begun
We're just waiting for the
Sun to keep expanding
The numbers won
Probably you're gonna be
the last one standing

Song #145

Guess I'll write another song again
Filter my thoughts and feelings through my pen
Work the words around till they make sense
Guess I'll write another song
Pick up this old guitar and strum awhile
Until I find a chord that makes me smile
I'll keep playing it for way too long
Guess I'll write another song
I got a thought I wanna share with you
Come in close so I can sing it through
There's no way to play it right or wrong
Guess I'll write another song
Guess I'll write another song again
Filter my thoughts and feelings through my pen
Work the words around till they make sense
Guess I'll write another song
Music soothes the angry hound
Lifts you up when you're on the ground
There's no problem I have found
That can't be fixed by the proper sound
Hit record and get it on the track
Hear that old magic when you play it back
The music shows me where I belong
Guess I'll write another song
I got so many don't know what to do
But it's ok, cause, baby, I got you
Hope that someday you will sing along
Guess I'll write another song
Guess I'll write another song again
Filter my thoughts and feelings through my pen
Work the words around till they make sense
Guess I'll write another song

We Were Ghosts All Along
04:42
|
|||
I'm afraid to go back in time
I'm afraid of what we'll find
That's why keep my eye
glued to the road
I don't know why I didn't think of that
I don't know where my body's at
The voice just said lie back
and let go
You can't see me, I'm fading out
Breaking up between soft and loud
Like a lightbulb that flickers
before it goes out
I had a name before I was born
New clothes, but now they're worn
And no instruction as to
what it's about
I'm not half as solid as I used to be
I'm not as sure of things as I used to be
I couldn't find a way out,
I had to shout,
I went about it all wrong . . .
We were ghosts all along
I remember the discotheque
The velvet jacket in the coat check
You searched through the pockets
and I started to squirm
Later out on the dance floor
He couldn't find what he came looking for
But it's hard to put a value
on things you don't earn
I'm not half as solid as I used to be
I'm not as sure of things as I used to be
I couldn't find a way out,
I had to shout,
I went about it all wrong . . .
We were ghosts all along

Count to Nothing
04:40
|
|||
Take a sec
Keep looking
There’s no edge
There’s no one there
I know it’s strange to say it
But we all can see it’s true
Holding up
The best intentions
Will stop you dead
No question
It’s not a problem really
Just relax and try again
In the middle of each moment
A space to watch it all float by
A second chance to count to nothing
empty atoms in disguise
People think
And minds will chatter
A thought will sink
Into darkened depths
Just dive right in
I’m sure you’ll be ok
In the middle of each moment
A space to watch it all float by
A second chance to count to nothing
empty atoms in disguise

The Lucky Shots Massachusetts
What does it mean to be "Lucky"?
If you consider the vastness of things, just the fact that
you experience even one average day of your life seems pretty darn lucky. Even the bad days are really secret gifts, hiding their joy like clouds in front of the sun.
“Music is one of the ways I remind myself of how lucky I am every day”
