Walkin'

I Look Around

I might not keep up with you
It doesn’t matter if I don’t keep up
I’ll do fine by myself

If you’re on the ground then look up high
If you have a frown then buck up
You’ll get by higher and higher
A smile is a fire to be held
There’s no such thing as Hell

You can visit what you think might be is it
But it isn’t

I’m just trying to find out what’s up with you
It doesn’t matter if it’s all fucked-up
You’ll do fine – Just watch yourself

There’ll be times you want to give up and cry
Well get up off your knees and live up
Live up high
Higher and higher and higher and higher
and higher and higher
A Fire is a smile to be held.
There’s no such thing as Hell
There’s no such thing as Hell

High

Chewing on the misty vapor sent
Sent to me on a clear view starlit night
I write as it permeates from subatomic
I inhale as the creamy coffee wanton flavor
Swirls up my senses
And all I can do is smile for a while

My impression of the light: French impressionism
Birds sing melodies
As effortless as gravity
Pulling me into the world today
…And I fall into the subatomic / I fall into the subatomic
I fall into the subatomic / I fall into the subatomic

Painting portraits in prose
Can never capture this beauty
Your skin like sand
Sifts through my hands
You are falling asleep / I’m wide awake as I dream
I’m watching the waves lap at your feet
You dissolve into the sea
And you are subatomic
And you are subatomic

My impression of the light: French impressionism
Birds sing melodies as effortless as gravity
Pulling me into the world today
…And I am subatomic / You’re falling asleep
Into the subatomic / I’m wide awake as I dream…

Subatomic

O. K.    I’ve gone too far again
I spilled myself all over on the floor
I let the lion loose again
And I waste the time it takes to chase the time
I waste time with you

There is a story yet untold
It has no beginning – has no end
Just let it unfold

Oh Yeah   You’re bathed in morning light
And dreaming of a memory lost in time
I’m fine alone most any night
But I’m glad to be desired to come inside
To waste time with you

Ooh-Don’t want to bother anyone
With what’s inside
It’s locked to hide
It breaks my stride and then

Oh yeah   The vino flows again
It’s dripping off my jaw onto the floor
I slip out of myself again
I flee the fighting demons of my mind
To waste time with you 

There is a story left untold
It has no beginning – has no end
Just let it unfold
Ooh- I never trusted anyone
With what’s inside
It’s locked to hide
It breaks my stride again, again, again, again, again

O.K.

Waste Time

You need control
To restrict the flow
It’s difficult
To be comfortable

It’s emotional
Can’t avoid it though
It’s a short term loan
When you purge to cope  

CHORUS
After all you say and do
How much should be left of you?
Is nothing enough?
How much is - how much is enough?
Is nothing enough?

You need to know
that you’re beautiful
And to let it go
And to lose control   

CHORUS

How much should be left of you?

Is Nothing Enough

I am just a shopkeeper’s son
And I’ve been keeping shop for far too long
I’m running in a race that no one’s ever won
I give away too much and it cost me my song

You can’t keep a damn thing you see
But there’s one thing that I’ll never lose
It’s not big it’s not small it’s just me
And I don’t want to give it to you

Thank you for your stability
But I am choking on the hand that feeds
You’re killing me-you kill me with your courtesy
As my blood fattens up your hungry family

CHORUS: You can’t keep…

Running the race, waiting for grace to come from above
Coveting crumbs, cooking up sums and calling it love
Have I become too blind to see?

You can’t keep a damn thing you see
But there’s one thing that I’ll never lose
It’s not big it’s not small it’s just me
And I don’t want to give it to you
I don’t want to give it to you
I don’t want to give it to you

I Don't Want 2 Give It 2 U

Drive in search of destination
Looking back is fine fine fine
But the past is dead
Time is running down my forehead
And dripping in my eyes eyes eyes
I can’t see ahead 

CHORUS
Fear’s a coat of armor
That’s blocking the sun
Gravity is harder
On a top that’s not spun 

On a train running through the crossing 
If I don’t wipe my eyes soon I…
Well that’s better left unsaid
The wheel is what my hands desire
Controlling the front tires I
Turn to the future again

I see that you’re presenting
A selfish will to survive
Mother Nature’s unrelenting 
Desire to just Drive

The car follows where I’m looking
Don’t spend a lot of time time time
Checking the rearview mirror
The turns you take in desperation
Will get you a citation
Why would you stay stuck here

Drive

She’s not the brightest girl, that’s why she’s a beast of burden
She’s been taken advantage of
He’s not the kindest boy, no time for her he working
He doesn’t understand love.
And on and on and on and on they go
And on and on and on and on they go  (pause)

She’s quite the jealous type, he likes to dance and mingle
Move over Casanova
She gives him the eagle eye, he says Oh baby baby
You know I’m a man, now don’t ya?

And on and on and on and on they go
And on and on and on and on they go  (pause)

CHORUS 
He says, You’re mine, OOH BABY
Mine all mine,              OOH BABY
And I treat you fine,     OOH BABY
You’re mine…

SOLO 

Young one with vapid eyes, I’ll eat you up for supper
And don’t you complain that there’s no love
You shouldn’t give yourself, based on infatuation
You’ll be taken advantage of
But on and on and on and on they go
And on and on and on and on they go

CHORUS 2
You say I'm yours
Only yours
Your love opens doors
I'm your bitch

She’s not the brightest girl, that’s why she’s a beast of burden
She’s been taken advantage of

She’s been taken advantage of
She’s been taken advantage of…

Ooh Baby

I’m just killin’ time with my friend
Just killin’ the time like Thundercat
I just took a hit of my vape
Because it’s 4:20
I just took a hit of my vape

Hangin’ around on a Saturday
On a trip cause I would rather be in the Know
You gotta make it up as you go
Sometimes you trip and then you fall
Sometimes you trip and then you fly
And go Falderal…      
FALDERAL -  FALDERAL  -  FALDERAL 

We was all set up and we was ready to jam
Then my friend thought he’d be a political man
And drink some coffee and watch the new president make a speech
As if he didn’t know that that would be recorded like our jam would have been… 
If he would have stayed
If he would have stayed

Don’t you know on a Saturday 
You can take a trip and fly away to Heaven (On the JamKazam)
All you gotta do is set up tracks
To record the thing you wax
With your rhythm loop thing
Rhythm Loop Thing
Gotta Rhythm Loop Thing
Gotta Rhythm Loop Thing

I’ve got a Loop Mash going with a groove
But I’m not sure what it’s doing
Maybe I’ll change it up a little
Gets a little bit more difficult… Oh

Won’t you come?
Won’t you come and jam with me?
You can do a bass lime or you can do a lead
It’s on the radio - see it on the video

All you gotta do is set up tracks…
