City Limits Love Pt.II
03:45
|
|

The houses flicker lights
stand in doorways
and all these cars drive by
we see how they look at night
and beauty's not a thing just a way of seeing
don't let them tell you what to think of sight
so take out what you know of living
cause the way most live
I don't consider life
but not tonight my love no
let's not concern ourselves with sorrow
I tend to see the best
in the things we cannot now
but why live in a house
when I offered a home
I've never seen such beauty
in a person like in you
the sun is a spotlight
smell the cities sweet perfume
but not tonight my love no
let's not concern ourselves with sorrow

Rabbit Sit Up Straight
01:32
|
|
||

A Rabbit came home from school
sat at a table for his evening gruel
his mother looked over
her eyes green as clover
he was slouching on his stool
She cried
Rabbit Sit Up Straight
with that posture you should be ashamed
for you will grow older
your back will be folded
and you'll have only yourself to blame
Oh Mother Mother Dear
There's a problem with this posture I fear
As I stand up taller the doorways grow smaller
there's no room for these long bunny ears
What a silly mistake you've made
Oh little Rabbit I must beg
your excuse is misleading
we sit up while eating
but we don't walk on our hind legs

The city lights go up
it looks like it's on fire
and the streets are cold
and her buildings tired
and you shouldn't go out at night
you should just stay inside
and fight away the winter
So let them know that you can't
handle long goodbyes
just ask that they forgive you
when you forget to reply
I don' think they'll remember
my Birthday's just a short time away
I'm leaving come this Sunday
The cities time is up
the glow is growing fainter
as we drive away
and the skylines wider
and this highway goes on and on
fighting my heavy eyes
wish away the miles

A Killing Round
01:24
|
|
||
|
There's a man holding a gun
pointed at children in the street
and I think I should tell them
to run
(home)

If You're So Well Off
01:15
|
|
||
|
The station is full
of people who don't notice
their hearts are never full
their wallets ever growing
and now you sing to yourself
I only wanted to go home
I could never believe
I'd be back with turned out pockets

Don't breathe in deep
just let it sting
don't breathe in deep
don't breathe
waste breath to speak
when words don't mean
much of anything
did you mean anything?
and all these empty houses
with bolted doors there's no one living
feeling lonely all my days spent
sitting and waiting for that moment
that they will save me
Dim the lights please
dim the lights please
let my eyes rest
blur what I see
the night skies flecked with gold on darkness
a million stars burn hot like matches
the moon hangs low
it smiles sadness
it brings me down but the feeling passes
right on time the arrive
and tell me that I'm better
I want to try to dance all night
better now than never

The Window View

Window bends the light
like falling leaves
on the creeping mice
and towards the kitchen sink

A Walk Would Be Rad!!
02:46
|
|

I realize I've been away
too long to make things up
to the ones that had to stay
but I'll sing this anyway
and I've caught up on my books
and ideas are coming quick
but I have no one to share them with
and it's hard to say I'd rather go back home tonight
and talk things over with my friends
and just move on with my life
oh oh
A lens to focus on this event
or is it blurred enough to hide your face
that's marked by the hands of time
each year another line she said
and I'm slowly going blind
other than that I'm doing fine, kid
let's just live while we're alive
and a girl that I met
we talked of life and love
but neither of us had seen enough
to believe us
and a walk is all I need
to clear my head of doubt
as silence follows me around
and it's hard to say I'd rather be alone tonight
if I can't be happy with myself
then I don't want you in my life
she said that's fine boy
but when you find yourself call me up
we'll talk and I'll wish you luck
cause by then I'll have found my true love

A Simple Metaphor

climb
climb
On branches of trees you climb
body moving upwards towards the sky
reach the reddest apple
oh how it *shine*shine*shines*
fall before you grab it and you cry
oh how you cry
cry
cry

I'm writing home tonight
to tell everyone I'm doing fine.

My New Rainbow
01:46
|
|
||
|
I can see the storm clouds coming
they're gonna rain on my parade
that means I'll have to play inside today
that also means a rainbow
is coming my way
The sky sings it's praise
the sun shines rays
for days and days and days
the river turns to wine
we'll go floating by
cause that rainbow
is mine all mine
I'll ride my pony to the store
to buy a guitar
with shiny silver strings
and I'll learn to play some chords
they don't shine like my rainbow
but it's all I could afford
The birds up in the trees
I'd lasso them with string
they'd fly me way up high
for the perfect view of my town
they'd perch me on my rainbow
and I'd slide back down
of all the people I've met you have the prettiest face
it's time for my rainbow to be replaced

Wait for our bodies to bend
in such a sensual trend
as I fall asleep in your bed
dreams of sheets wrinkled from sweat
clenched fingers the hair on your head
pulling out words never meant
and damn your bad acting
I can tell when you're faking
but I tore you apart tonight
so tell me what you're thinking
OH M G I F S F G
