Hands Up Beat

I Do

Music & Lyrics Ben Woodul

Stole from the place born in winter
snuck away under a starless night
when the moon passed it's time in hiding
rode out in the silence of the fading light
across the sea of endless concrete
eating our fill of radio waves
out in the empty we feel we're forgiven
I hold your hand as you drift away

Why are we running all these empty miles
crying for loves long dead and gone
talk to me about your empty miles
I know how it feels to carry on

Cloak myself in lovely language
a smiling face for the gallows scene
I never lie when I say I'm cold hearted
you hear the words what do you think they mean
we're smart enough to know our weakness
we can list all the words we don't believe
and never want the ones that want us 
we're just to in love with the feeling of grief

Everyone loves you in the shadows
whisky smiles and dirty eyes
too much to drink too many cigarettes
and lonliness in cheap supply
in the daylight we'll all be strangers
ragged faces in the morning heat
with these bottles stacked all arounds us
like traces of some ghost city

Slowly it becomes a dream,
some fleeting thought only held
in a picture frame
so melt with me again
before the sands of time complete
their cruel works end

Let The Band Play On Lyrics:

I'll be dancing the edge for the hundredth time
despite the pain oh baby, despite the pain inside
let the band play on, cage'm in your head
and push me to the limit, I'll be dancing on the edge.

And I could get to love your smile, it wakes me up at night
It's you and music baby, make me feel just fine
let the band play on, get them in your head
let them take your mind away, and lets go dancing on the edge.

I'll be dancing on the edge, when the sun goes down
liquid luck will find my courage, scrap it up off of the ground
let the band play on, let them be loud and red
dare me baby I'm fearless, when I'm dancing on the edge

and I don't care at all
I don't care if I fall

I'll be dancing on the edge, canyon wide as time
give me all you got, it's good, it's alright
let the band play on, camped out on the ledge
we go all night long, dancing on the edge

La la de da do da la de da

Country fields

Mamma said of the sun peeking through the clouds
that is god's eye looking down
at all the smiling, all the crying faces
I've been scared, for a long time now

Dad said buddy don't you worry I'm a watcher
of all the pain and all the laughter
I've been a stormy man, bluesy slow hand
spin around, helicopter

Out of my country fields roll hills I've been climbing on
Out of my country fields roll hills

Danny showed me with his heart he believed
took that faith across the country
he's been dreaming
he has not been alone

My sister showed me with a smile she knew
she is a flower in my mommas garden
though I am foolish, this is not justice at all

Out of my country fields roll hills I've been climbing on
country hills, rolling skies yea

There are strangers in my mind at night
it's all muddy waters and runny colors
I do not know them now, but I have known them
somewhere between the red barn and the dive bars

My brother said of the fire I set, put it out, put it out, you idiot
You fool I will miss you like pain

My lover trembled but she stay by my side
she had her beautiful eyes crying with all of her might
I am sorry, I understand if you go

Out of my country fields roll hills I've been climbing on
out of my country hills roll skies

How do you tell someone how you truly feel without foolishly fumbling over your words?  While hiding behind the piano's notes and chords, this is my attempt at showing her how I feel.

La Nocturne du Coeur

Time, it always wins,
It always finds that place to cut you in the end
Grace, it’s fading fast
Slipping through the cracks
out over the balcony singing

I laugh at you little fool
you lift your head to look at me
I laugh at you little fool, you fool
Sing your time away and soon your summers gone
Or cry your time away still soon the summers gone
The winter wind is calling out your name
It’s screaming hey, you there

Love, it always wins
it always wins unless it doesn’t in the end
It paints a lovely blue, an angry tangerine
of pieces of your broken dreams singing

I laugh at you little fool, to fix your eyes so fast on me
I laugh at you little fool, you fool
Sing your heart away and hope your love lives on 
Or hide your heart away for fear of what they’ll do
When they find out you’re trying to improve
Anything, at all

Hope is hurtful, and it cuts both ways
Oh it sees the home behind your eyes
Burns it down for firelight, In the dark
You can’t fight the dark
But you can try, try, try, try
Anyway
Who’s gonna stop you
anyway

Angry Tangerine ft Rebecca Woodul

I see you everyday in the morning with your coffee
and I think about the sugar are you sweet like me
and on the drive to work, I tap songs on the dashboard
and you and I go dancing in my head
cold in all places and lonely
could you warm me up, dark and pretty lady

show me a good place I can lay down the dragging chains
and call me to my heart when I forget
and I will ring your name, be the tongue inside your bell
it's hell on wheels I'm holding on and I'm rolling out of bed
my sleeping eyes go flying in the night, and cry home

I remember you the night, I told you that I loved you
I remember in that punch bug no punch back, you cracked
so what are they to you, these moments do they live?
do they sing for you still or are they bones?

If they are bones out in the yard, I'm a zombie
just a dead walkin for, a very dark and pretty lady
