No one understands I’m a flickering light
Yeah I’m hollow inside
More deep than wide
But you try to make me laugh
And you try to make me try
And you try and I try for you
Corner of my eye
I’m in yours
You’re in mine
Yeah, we’re watching all the time
The sign and the signified
And I try to make you laugh
And I try to make you try
And you sign
And I sign
Right on the line
I’m just sealing my time with you
It’s true, I need you
Oh what else can I do?
I’m blue, make me new
Middle of the night well
I’m glowing alright
But I’m feeling uptight
Will we survive?
Surrounded on all sides
Trapped in our minds
Unsatisfied again
What’s gonna happen then?
Nothing as it seems
No one thing’s gonna rule over me
I’m reaching to believe
I can see but I just can’t quite be
Open up my mind
What I find is it’s fixed right on you
Oh what else can I do?
I’m blue oh make me new

Who I Will Be
02:02
|

|
Hang a mic up in the room so I make myself clear
Happened kind of out of the blue it was awfully weird
People smothered in fear they said, “who are you?”
“I am who I will be”
There are things I wish I hadn’t done but what is it now?
I guess it’s good to have some fun but I’ve seen past the cow
How the people did bow down to worship it
Holy shit, all I need
Hang a mic up in the room so I hear what is there
Gotta know that it’s coming soon so I try to prepare
I will proceed with care for the day ahead
I am who I will be

Mary

Oh Mary where you going?
Are you leaving for a day?
I know that you’re going someplace
Just where I couldn’t say
Are you wishing your last penny to the bottom of a well?
Is there something you believe in if there is I couldn’t tell
I’m standing on a corner, I’m standing on a line
That Mary she’s just staying on my mind
See you on the TV, I can see you on the phone
I can see you high upon that throne
A captive to memories you don’t own
But you play them back time and time again when you’re alone
It’s not a pleasant thing but I know it’s how it goes
So Mary where you going?
How could I pretend that nothing ever changes
That was now and this is then
Yeah I think you’re becoming an even brighter star
Oh won’t you keep on shining no matter where you are?
But so many things will try and drag you down
They will turn your song into an empty sound
See the judge commission just based upon a whim
To some it’s law to others it’s a sin
To many more it’s a tangled mess we’re in
But I think it’s true that when you are at the end
You are closest then to where you once began

My C.C. Blues
03:33
|
|||
|
Lead me to water
Can I quench my thirst?
When I take hold to one thing
I find out what it’s worth
Standing in the moonlight time and time again
Tethered to a satellite, lonely at the end
Technicolored images dance before my eyes
Doing the impossible but I’m not satisfied
I’m scrolling through the information gauging my desire
There’s elemental wisdom deep within a burning fire
Balancing facticity while channeling my muse
I’m singing about my conceptual, circumstantial blues
Waiting in the dead of night until the light of dawn
Unlock the chamber so I might be let in
When I take hold to one thing I find that it resists
Wandering the neighborhood while I should be in bed
Observing in the silence there so I might understand
I’m sailing on the ocean now searching for dry land
Seeking out some solid ground for my feet to stand
I want to refresh the content, eager to consume
It’s all a part of my conceptual, circumstantial blues
Even in the dead of the night I’ll try to start again
Turn back the pages, scan the fine print
Maybe it’s like David said, maybe that was it

Step Out
02:32
|
|||
|
Step out once again
It’s a nervous thing when the clock is ticking
Step right into the ring
Where the players play and they’re always singing
“Hold on, stay with me now”
I think I’m stepping out
Just another day,
It’s the same old way but I’ve been thinking
Only one more thing we need to know so we keep singing
“Hold on, stay with me now”
I think we’re stepping out
Far out, into the night
We’re moving through
“Hold on, stay with me now”
I feel like stepping out
Far out, into the night
I’m moving through

One Day
03:49
|
|||
|
Baby, It’s just a single day
Feeling so far away, believe me
You, all that I wanna see
Every part of me
Moving into the dark of the night
Follow it down, deep inside
Well, mama, I think you gotta know
I’m gonna make it show
But it’s not easy
Listen to what the people say
When you are on your way
Choosing one thing to hold to your side
Bring it in and holdout tight
Believing until the end
Turns around to begin again

Jesus
03:16
|
|||
|
I do remember the first time that I did take
The good lord Jesus’ sweet holy name in vain
And it came out alright
Didn’t put up too much of a fight
And then I realized I need you in my life
Oh how I wish that there was something I could do
Just to get through be true, go on make it up to you
I know you now how I feel, you know my heart it rolls like a wheel
Now I’m head over heels, rolling into the blue, just for you
I don’t know how to be
Can’t you see I’m down on my knees
I’m saying, “Please, baby please” I want you next to me
Please tell me what you know, tell me how it will go
Please won’t you show me what it means?
I was blind then you gave me sight
Now I realize how I need you in my life
Jesus Christ, my life

When I Go Out
06:26
|
|||
|
When I go out, I’ll see nothing new
If I stay in I’m just missing you
Like a shoelace, I come undone
Like our planet, you’re the only one, just one
The time has come to see you
In the sunlight, when it shines on us
It’s the good light from up above
When I’m hungry or filled with pain
When I’m lonely I call your name again
But I have changed
I’m starting to walk onward, either high or low
On a shoestring, on a tight rope
I’m a dancer, I want to be a romancer out in the ring
It’s a dream, do you dream too? dream with me
When I come to I’ll tell you there are some days
There are sun days too, it is all ways, it is nothing new
At the center, it’s a living thing
It’s appearing but a mystery
I believe, in time we’ll come to see you

Lisa, Robbi, And Me
03:50
|

Her name is Lisa, she’s got me insane
All in my mind, yeah, I’m calling her name
She’s got a fever of 105, fire in her eyes
Yeah, I know she’s alive alright, tonight can’t turn out the light
I think you know exactly what I’m talking about Love, of the finest kind
That’s right Lisa, I wanna blow your mind
Sea punk mama with the hair colored blue
You’re weak in the knees when she’s looking at you
Digital daddy with the chip in his brain
Trying to be cool but he’s really quite lame I’m afraid, it’s a shame
My friend Robbi, says he’s a man want’s the whole world in the palm of his hand
But he can feel it all slipping away but he’s holding on tight
Yea he’s gonna stay alright, tonight, won’t turn out the light
I think you know exactly what Robbi is talking about
Love in the nick of time
Come on Robbi, let’s go for a ride
Alright, tonight, just one more time
You know the one thing you cannot explain
Doesn’t make sense, refuses a name
Well it’s the one thing we’re holding onto
One things that’s real one thing that’s true
I know we’re changing everyday
It’s easy to know but it’s harder to say
The whole world is going right down the drain
If it’s sad then it’s true but there’s still another way
Yeah, it’s gonna be ok
Cause I’ve got you baby, I’ve got you, baby
I got you baby, on my mind all of the time
I got you baby
I got you, baby
I got you, baby
On my mind all of the time
I got you
I got you
I got you
