Court Jester 04:09
smiles for all and all for one or so it seems all in fun slight of hand the tricks of the trade lemons into lemonade glad hand shaking the one it bites the one that feeds him got’em in the sights aiming higher then the tallest tale the wind is up raise the sail court jester, make ‘em smile they all believe and have for a while gather round one and all when you hear the master call most favored status loved by all believes in none will not hear the call of voices echoing from the past back has turned to the shotgun blast long time away and many worlds apart bandaids for a broken heart won’t mend the lonely space between filthy rich or only squeaky clean

don’t go breaking my heart just because you can you should know by now that I’m a jealous man the way you’re running around it’s tearing me apart just because you can don’t go breaking my heart I’m the only one that seems to care can’t you see, babe it just ain’t fair don’t know where you are except not here the same excuses are all I hear you’re out every night and I’m walking the floor waiting for you to stumble through the door whiskey on your breath when you finally come home your lipstick is smeared dress is tattered and torn

Hollywood 06:04
fleeing from a broken home with a star studded plan she reaches for the golden hills of the promised land where visions of a privileged life live on a silver screen determination drives her onward clutching at a dream but Hollywood’s gilded sign is plated with despair and a thousand shattered dreams are painted there working at the diner buys a one room kitchenette waiting for the lucky break that hasn’t happened yet late night interviews on couches one step at a time they parade them through the mill in a never ending line her heart becomes a guarded prize a secret tucked away a treasure locked behind a wall built up more each day but the moat around her fortress is breached by a smile a well rehearsed battle plan he’s done this for a while he promises a screen test for his latest show but when he gets what he wants he shows her to the door so she spills all her lonesome tears in letters to the rain and her childhood ambitions go spinning down the drain broken hearted lessons posted on the wall you gotta get back on the horse after you fall so climbing high into the hills where the sign shines so bright she pours out all her broken dreams upon it’s silver light and though Hollywood’s gilded sign is plated with despair one more shattered dream is painted there

Night Train 04:20
it’s a sound of pain, hear the whistle wail. it’s that midnight train, on a cold steel rail with it’s clickety –clack marking time on track. won’t bring him home, won’t bring him back. that dark, eerie night night when it called him away she held him close, and tried to make him stay she kissed his lips, then sent him to his fate neither one knew it meant heavens gate. remembering when they met, his long golden hair every girl around, seemed to turn and stare now the silent rooms, and the empty wall won’t say a thing, they don’t whisper at all. her prayer sounds so hollow, and she can’t make it right she waits for his ghost, to come in the night she watches the moon, and waits by the door listening for his footsteps, again on the floor
5.
Pictures 04:11
pictures painted by the spoken art telling stories in rhyme glimpsing deep into the private heart the colors of a moment in time illustrating fond desires and dreams emotions weaving story lines the melodic universal blending sound containing consensual design we find the answers to our prayers in the choices we've made hope grows in the heart when all worry starts to fade calling out for one more time around begin and end the same way that certain special cadence carries through the handcuffs of time drift away words strong enough to dry the tears that eyes of sorrow spill in pain contains the message spelled so clear written on every drop of rain
6.
with a suitcase full of memories in her arms she hangs her broken heart on the wall she’s leaving once again for the last time from the door she hears the night time call did she clean up all the tears scattered round all the empty years she could find are all the kitchen cupboards bare did she leave just one kiss behind lay back, and smile a lie close your eyes and go to sleep hush, hush just rest awhile the dreams you hide will keep he’ll check his little black book for a clue all his broken promises unmasked he’ll wonder which one stripped away the veneer from his sordid past the welcoming darkness takes her in the night has always been her friend it lays its’ cold hands on her heart and becomes her lover once again

Sessions 03:35
hot or cold you play the number waking sound from sleep and slumber notes cascading time and through pleasure madness coming true banter bouncing crowded walls whiskey smoking barroom halls force of habit strings along bare emotions play along night time day light sending tones whisper shouting covered bones splintered moments crashing down chasing retro waking sounds racing forward back in two leading questions to the clue giving phrasing to the time lyric notions seeking rhyme bending sliding through the scale gentle breezes fill the sail charting courses straight ahead till vision appetites are fed all illusions blend in time give and take the chorus line memories from other schemes following melodic dreams play away til morning light notes rebounding from the night collecting amber bottles spent matching wisdom with intent

Fly Away 03:53
run to him when you’re through with me his arms always hold greater mystery go ahead use me up like you always do leave me dangling in misery leave me standing here with my heart in my hands like you’ve done so many times before he’s always lurking there down heartbreak avenue waiting for the slamming of my door I’ve seen that look in your eyes a thousand different ways the one that always screams goodbye I know where you go with such obvious intent right back to his sugar coated lies go ahead and walk away don’t bother coming back you know how much I mean what I say just like every other time you’ve gone running to him I always take you back any way

Blue #2 03:44
blue afternoon, heartaches contagious I come down with the blues every time that you call blue afternoon keep flirting with danger always trying to drag me down when you fall you left me too soon, your kisses denied me loving deprived me on a blue afternoon blue afternoon you memory haunts me your picture taunts me your touch lingers on blue afternoon morning’s no better my mind’s filled with gloom each day that you’re gone blue afternoon, heartaches contagious I come down with the blues every time that you call blue afternoon can’t keep from crying no use denying it’s as blue afternoon can’t keep from crying on this blue afternoon

Six Strings 03:15
I’ve walked this lonesome road a thousand miles or more looking for the way back to your heart everything I’ve done has been with blinders on and I never thought we’d drift this far apart a prisoner of my dreams that’s the way it seems and I’m the one that’s locked me in here spending the night with the only friends in sight three chords six strings and a beer kicking rusty cans wringing dirty hands looking for a piece of amnesty they all warned me of this path this road to regret walking hand and hand with misery and now I’m out here on my own can’t find my way home all I have left is this guitar and I‘ll be here all night long singing until dawn trading songs with the morning star a prisoner of my dreams that’s the way it seems and I’m the one that’s locked me in here spending the night with the only friends in sight three chords six strings and a beer yeah this guitar‘s gonna get me oughta here
