Lucky Stars 03:24
tossed a lot of coins into the well wished upon a lot of stars that fell but the only wish I made that came true was finding you spent a lot of nights in strangers arms ignored a lot of obvious alarms but the only waking sound that rang true was finding you I’ve wandered down so many different roads looking for a dream come true of all the choices that I’ve made the rightest one was you seen a lot of ships pass in the night nothing ever felt right no whispers in the dark came true ‘til I found you

Home Now 03:58
headlights shine through speckled beams driving through the snow lucid smells of velvet seats bathed in neon glow almost home we’ll be there soon a few more miles to go in chariots of chrome and steel down the road we go sheepskin by the fireplace where sleeping dogs retire papers on the porch by dawn the rising sun climbs higher the sweet sweet smell of pancakes baking coffee’s warming glow days create the future path down the road we go weekend morning cartoons through time for making plans tater salad olive thumbs baskets of the hand soda pop and popsicles evening fireworks show wash the grass stains off with bleach down the road we go waking from this comfort dream the empty nest remains a brand new life of college dorms and riding subway trains it’s the next thing on the list practice letting go take a giant step aside as down the road they go you gotta take a giant step aside as down the road they go

she’s running away she’s had enough gotta have a taste of other stuff he’s fooled around one last time now’s the chance to make her mine she’s always been a queen to me day dreaming of what could be magic nights of dark red wine could be the chance to make her mine mine to have and mine to hold mine to shine like polished gold mine forever and a day mine forever and always I’ve watched him treat her bad too long now he’s gonna know what he did wrong cause I’m gonna get her and treat her fine that’s how I’m gonna make her mine day by day all night long we’re gonna sing sweet love songs happy ‘til the end of time cause I’m gonna make her mine

Soft Hearts 03:41
soft hearts will shatter when touched by the frost frozen hearts melt no matter the cost melting hearts fused together as one burning love hot as the sun colder then stone frozen with pain smothered by night drenched by the rain but when the sun shines igniting desire consuming reason in a funeral pyre standing alone hiding in the shade watching lovers march in their parade left on the sidelines envy in their eyes waiting for their turn to claim the prize right before dawn blanketed with dew soon comes morning shining through love’s like a sunrise comfort and warm chasing the shadows after the storm

Talk To Me 04:39
you carve your name upon hearts with finger nails of steel you hide behind your wall of stone surveying the field with nine hundred seven ways to stumble and ensnare queen of all your young domain the life you will not share I want you but I need my sorrow I need you now but not tomorrow maybe later in a song you’ll be the one I need but I’ve got another dream to feed scenes from Greek tragedies you act out for yourself a place for all discarded lovers right there on the shelf easy loves for possessions not for faithful hearts lives begin and end the same rent and torn apart heads are dashed to melon softness on your rocky shore towering above the storm a citadel’s reward ramparts sheltering the tears shed when shadows fall will no prince charming find the key to break down the walls years go by with no relief no answer to your prayers winters barely shining sun lights of northern glare planned migrations seaside living speculative dreams tumble though your open fingers tearing at the seams

Opium 04:29
I’m just a blind moth to her love flame I’m just a helpless victim to her fire she pulls me onward beckoning forward consuming me with desire my reason’s incredibly numb and I only wanna succumb my predilection is for addiction she might as well be called opium railway stations and lunar landings contemplating steamy nights candles burning waltzes singing exploding evening satellites beneath aurora borealis sacrifices to the northern lights she dances softly singing love songs to the altar of the night comparing stag lines receding chances for dancing with ancient deities I can’t help feeling she’s just rejection waiting to happen to me

Blue Morning 04:24
riding waves of doubt weaving in and out looking for a shiny clue whether it’s night or day always the same way it’s just different shades of blue am I feeling numb or just playing dumb tables turning in the night rocky roads and carrying heavy loads blurry lines ‘tween wrong and right confusion rides taking sides reason hides and slips away dreams can show the way to a brighter day or draw clouds across the sun the path ahead filled with words unsaid optimism on the run stringing words together for the sake of rhyme hoping to express this doubt that all I hope to see might become part of me just because I let it out weaving in and trying to figure out why things happen like they do whether it’s night or day it’s always the same way just different shades of blue

Dream Noir 06:01
I’ve seen your face in a film noir reruns from a broken dream I’ve heard your voice all cross the sky it never whispers my name broken dreams go on so long long after the dawn I’ve seen that smile and those flashing eyes plastered on the Berlin wall I’ve felt your heart burning to the touch long before the fiery fall broken dreams called you away as night stumbled into day I’ve counted stars spelling out your name in a thousand milky ways I’ve seen the night tired of memories calling for forgiveness as it prays a faint perfume from your good bye lingers on like the water in my eyes I’ve watched you run across the universe chasing shadows ‘cross the sun I’ve seen this show seen it all before glimpses of a special one broken dreams can tell you lies wispy clouds in a pastel sky I’ve seen your face in a film noir reruns from a broken dream I’ve heard your voice all cross the sky it never whispers my name broken dreams last so long long after the dawn

Three A.M. 04:02
that mirror doesn’t ever look back in front or behind a different track what friends will see through the crack is a mirror that never looks back the shadow doesn’t follow anymore it’s waiting for another to open the door to let it out of it’s commitment to the floor the shadow won’t follow anymore sleep won’t last through the whole night dreaming under a broken streeet light letting go and holding on are having a fight sleep won’t stay through just one night can’t find a corner to crawl in can’t find a hole to fall in noxious banter drives the poison home hurling venom well enough alone cracking whips of meat hook off the bone the herd can’t find it’s own way home

Going Van Go 05:04
well I think I’m going van go circling around the black hole my ears are afraid of scissors painting songs in my sleep it’s a long way out of the deep when you’re crawling on your belly like a lizard feverish nights and demented days everything I know becomes a haze spinning around the abyss I’m going clinical for sure this time stumbling when I walk mumbling when I talk crossed eyes stuck to the floor now the crew is abandoning ship cause the captain’s losing his grip crime scene tape on the door I think I’m going van go circling around the black hole my ears are afraid of razors
