Album - February
FEBRUARY
She don’t come down from the hills anymore
She pins her hair back behind the door
Must have been a dream
Must have been unreal
And like the rebel pictures of old
She wore her smile like some kind of old time movie star
In a drive in cinema
Oh the wasted frail thing
Far behind it all
Collecting stones on your street
Crawling down the road
When you’re too low to fall
In February
I’m going down to the bulb for a while
They’re evicting the painters and sweeping the sky
And when the world is clean
Nothing left to see
And wingless birds fly high above
A restless wind blows down somebody’s home
In an earthquake zone
I see you staring at me
From the mirrored wall
All those silent glances
No words were spoke at all
All the snow that falls
In February
GREEN EYED GIRL
She’s a green eyed girl
And you like her too much
And when the day falls down
You're gonna get crushed
She’s a bad night girl
And she’s staring at you
Such a cruel eyed girl
Better walk on thru
She got your head all strange
Just like it used to do
She got nothing to take
She got nothing for you
She’s a sad eyed girl
And she’s calling for you
She’s the ghost that haunts
all your darkened rooms
And shes singing. singing, singing in your head
And shes singing. singing, singing in your head
She’s a bad night girl
And she’s waiting for you
To tear up your world
To make a fool out of you
And shes singing. singing, singing in your head
And shes singing. singing, singing in your head
Please step away now
I’m caught in the rain now
I’m losing my way now
nothing is safe now
THE OIL WARS
Experiments in film back in the sweet days
Walking down Grant shaking some hands, China deal
From liquor store to chairman of the board, now the drinks are free
He lays down a card then walks out the bar
I aint going nowhere
Anyone can tell
I aint goin’ nowhere
In these oil wars
Im barely alive
Can’t function right, can’t punch on the light
Can’t snap back into place
Seems like everyone just hangin’ on waitin’ for the sky to fall
I got some money but it just aint enough to buy my way out of here
It’s a funny old world, somebody once said
Long, long time ago
I aint going nowhere
Anyone can tell
I aint goin’ nowhere
In these oil wars
I’m just hangin’ on to(o)…………….you
Radio whores and corporate bores they rock my world oh yeah
And all I need is some real tv and someone to make my bed
And everything’s black when the lights go out just puppets on the screen
And money rolls in as they lie and deceive, yeah
I aint going nowhere
Anyone can tell
I aint goin’ nowhere
In these oil wars
I’m pretty much dead
OUT OF THEIR MINDS
Up and down, thirteenth floor
Hanging crosses on the wall
Selfless monks on my back
Take the fun right out of bounds
Hell is waiting burning up time
I go along for the ride
I’ll believe in anything for a while
They must be out of their minds
They must be out of their minds
They must be out of their…
Lovers play so indiscreet
On the stage, the watchers seethe
For god’s sake can’t take no more
Hailing down with thunder roar
Reeling from another myth
Recoiling from the serpent’s kiss
Oh baby, oh baby, oh my
Saints alive
Whatever came of you
Angel eyes
They must be out of their minds
They must be out of their minds
SENTIMENTAL FOOL
Gotta get you out of my head
Gotta get back on the mend
Gotta stand up say goodbye and wish you well
Gotta stop looking in your eyes
Gotta stop being mesmerized
I know its something else i see that’s haunting me
It’s something that I long forgot these kinds of things don't happen in my life
For I was wise and civilized I laughed at god oh how you broke my stride
Gotta stop walking this line
This path to nowhere killing time
I’m gonna take a long long ride to the mountain side
I pass the redwood and the vine
And perfumed fields sting my eyes
And when it comes right down to it I'm just a sentimental fool
Getting older lost my mind I’ve been looking everywhere but where
Those breaking hearts I never thought that kind of thing could fall on me again
I look up to the lonely stars
I break down in my car
I put on shades in the dark to hide my disgrace
I’ve heard about the northern lights
And some they speak of Jesus' might
And when it comes right down to it I'm just a sentimental fool
And when it comes right down to it I'm just a sentimental fool
And when it comes right down to it I'm just a sentimental fool
SOMEBODY
Somebody played a part
Somebody took my heart
Somebody made me fall apart
Somebody's careless smile
Somebody waved goodbye
Somebody vanished in the night
My little world came crashing once a time
The blues fell from the grey and cloudy skies
And sailors twisted in the crimson night
Somebody played a part
Somebody took my heart
Somebody made me fall apart
Somebody's careless smile
Somebody waved goodbye
Somebody vanished in the night
A soldier bleeds but I don't wonder why
In poppy fields they fall and there they lie
I’ve seen a lot of moving pictures
Somebody played a part
Somebody took my heart
Somebody made me fall apart
Somebody's careless smile
Somebody waved goodbye
Somebody vanished in the night
Somebody's careless smile
Somebody waved goodbye
Somebody
Somebody
SOMETHING’S CHANGING
Go back into your corner
Crawl under your bed
Can't you see the storm a coming
Ooh from the west
Leave behind ocean fire
Drifting back to the wild earth
Got no stake in tomorrow
Something’s changing
And I don’t know if we’ll ever make it back
I said trouble always follows
No matter where you go
Waiting for the kingdom
And it will surely come
We’ll leave behind ocean fire
Drifting back to the wild earth
We got no stake in tomorrow
Something’s changing
And I don’t know if we’re ever gonna get back
So I run down to the river
Down among the reeds
Fetch me something I can feel
Something i can keep
I’ll leave behind ocean fire
Drifting back to the wild earth
I got no stake in tomorrow
Something’s changing
And I don’t know if I’ll ever make it back
So run down to the river
Crawl out from your bed
Yes and throw down all your veils
Something’s changing
And I don’t know if we’re ever gonna get back
SWIM
Leaf on the water
Drifting memory
Just too far to touch
Just too near to see
Cry baby cry
Swim baby swim
When the dance is over
The song will begin
Life is a whirlpool
Always sucking you in
Where nobody loses
And nobody wins
So cry baby cry
Swim baby swim
When the war is over
It aint worth a thing
No it aint worth a thing
Flow river flow
Down to the sea
When the day is over
A new one begins
So cry baby cry
Swim baby swim
Nothing can harm you
Some say harm is within
When there’s too much light
Showing too much inside
When nobody bothered
To cover your eyes
Then cry baby cry
Flow river flow
Know you’ll soon be walking tall
All along that dusty road
TEARDROP ON THE SAND
Dreamers waiting for the dawn
Somewhere a moonlight pierces someone’s heart
Sometimes the sky cracks, people wring their hands
Just a teardrop on the sand
Rolling days of thunder flash
Something is moving up ahead behind the glass
Making some faces, turning inside out
One time I knew that all the world was round
Just a teardrop on the sand
I held up some pieces
They scattered around
I waited for reason
Or some kind of sound
Just a teardrop on the sand
Just a teardrop on the sand
Just a teardrop on the sand
Just a teardrop on the sand
WHEN THE NIGHT IS DONE
Colors drifting thru a morning sky
Melting in the sun
I turn to look again
To see that they’re not gone
And something pulls me near
I watch them move
To see if they’re still real
To fill these eyes
With all the deep blue sky
Fragments of the dust that used to blow
Turning into gold
Like pieces of a dream
Soon becoming whole
It’s something I can’t say
It’s something wonderful
I touch the stars
To see if they’re still real
These eyes are full
Of all the things inside
I hear a million voices
And they sing the song, the song of angels
Their wings rise in the golden sunlight
And they say that now the day Is dawning
I see a million colors flood the silent empty street
I rub my eyes and I’m melting in the sun
When the night is done
When the night is done
When the night is done
When the night is done
When the night is done
