LYRICS:
You Don’t Say

You don’t say the sacrosanct
You don’t want to know
You don’t want to be here
When you go

You don’t say the seventh saint
You would never show
You don’t want it now
Like before

You don’t know
You don’t know
The way

Oh you don’t
Oh you don’t 
Say

You Don’t Say

Written/Recorded May 2023

LYRICS:
Told You So

If you go 
where the wind won’t blow
your failures start to show.
And if you stay
where you ought to be
nobody will ever know.

‘Cause If you cry 
just the same as I
I’ll tell you 
where we’ll go —

A secret place
beyond the trace
where I won’t say
I told you so.

If you hide
where your doubts collide
your wishes will not grow.
And if you learn
how the flowers burn
you’ll give them quite a show.  

Cause if you lose
when you had to choose
you won’t want
to forgo — 

A secret place
beyond the trace
where I won’t say
I told you so.

Can I tell you something?
Would it be alright? 
I just might say anything
tonight. 

If you go 
Where the sky won’t snow
The sun will start to show. 
And if you stay
on the razor blade
that’s all you’ll ever know.

‘Cause you can be
what you believe
if I tell you
where to go —

A secret place
Beyond the trace
where I won’t say
I told you so.

LYRICS: 

Cooking Meat in the Morning

Like cooking meat in the morning
Or swimming in a pair of jeans
I won’t know what you said
If I don’t know what you mean

Like a baby wearing tennis shoes
Or tequila in a bottle of gin
You won’t know where you’re going
If you don’t know where you’ve been

A life of mystery
Sure does mystify me
But there ain’t no misery
When you’re standing next to me

Like an orange in the apple cart
Or standing on top of your head
The whole world’s topsy-turvey
Until the day you end up dead

Like a spaceship in the ocean
With a fish who learned to breathe
Reaching for the stars is
Always easy when you believe. 

A life of mystery
Sure does mystify me
But there ain’t no misery
When you’re standing next to me

Verse Chords

Like the devil getting into heaven
Or the god in whom God believes
You’ll never be no one but yourself
But you can choose who you want to be. 

A life of mystery
Sure does mystify me
But there ain’t no misery
When you’re standing next to me.

LYRICS: 
Skin on Skin

Skin on your skin
It Knows where you’ve been
If you feel my touch
You’ve felt the touch of sin

Skin on your face
Lays your love to waste
The wrinkles on your eyes
Are the thoughts you can’t erase

Skin on your Skin

Skin on your hand
Tries to understand
The skin that’s on the other side
Of the life that you planned. 

Skin on your thigh
Leads the way tonight
Follow through to the holy truth
And follow till you die. 

Skin on your skin

Skin on your skin
Don’t let the bastards win
Cause easy love won’t bleed the blood
Of the skin that hides within. 

Skin is all alone
Skinned right down to the bone
Skin has skinned the skin again
Skin please take me home

Skin on your skin

LYRICS:
Sole Survivor

Sole Survivor
Sold his soul to see
Sole survivor
Sold his soul to me 

Sole Survivor
Swallow your sins baby
Sole survivor
Sold her sins to me 

He appeared just like lightning 
in a field of dead men.
Between heaven and hell 
and all the way back again. 

I pray for you
I pray for us
It’s never enough
It’s never enough

Lyrics: 
Here to Stay

Here today
gone away.
Long gone 
horizon
is here to stay. 

Don’t create
falling fray.
Wave on
the season
is here to stay.

You get a song
Now that you’re gone. 

Roll refrain
soft parade.
Get some
liaison
is here to stay. 

You get a song
Now that you’re gone. 

Here today
gone away.
Long gone 
horizon
is here to stay.

Lyrics: 
16 Feet from the World 

16 Ft from the world and the sky is falling
Smoking out my window in the early morning 

16 ft from the world when I watch you leaving
The sunlight on your face is so deceiving

Fall to your knees and start to pray 
The sun will burn your sins away
The silent sun will ascend
Cause I’ll be back again. 

16 Feet from the world

16 ft from the world and the floor is burning
Can’t get out of bed while the world is turning

16 ft from the world to forget the past
Memories are shattered to broken glass

Peel your eye off my front door
Because I can’t see your face no more
Live like you lost
your only friend
Till I come back again

Deep in the dark I heard Guy cry, 
“Just another funeral where my eyes are dry.”

16 Feet from the world tonight
Just another dead and my eyes are dry.

16 ft from the world when I fly above you
Tripping on my lips to say I love you 

16 ft between you and me
But you’re more far gone than I could ever believe 
It’s all over when
You say it’s end 
But you’ll be back again. 

16 ft from the world

Lyrics:
Pleasure's on Fire

I don’t think she’s pretty
I just think she photographs well
and she deep dives for nickels
down deep in the wishing well. 
And when she says she’s hungry
she tells me go to hell
‘cause what her mouth won’t eat
I know her mouth will sell. 

Pleasure’s on Fire
it’s too hot to feel the pain
and hanging from the wires
is the way you’ll feel again.
When the seller is the buyer
and your picture leaves my frame
Pleasure is on fire
and it feels good to feel the same.

She once sang a song
about singing on the radio
but what it did to my ears
I think it’s best that she don’t know.
And If I hear the DJ
say her Christian name
I’ll drive this car right into you
in the opposing lane. 

Pleasure’s on Fire
it’s too hot to feel the pain
and hanging from the wires
is the way you’ll feel again.
You wallow in the mire
like you got something to gain
Pleasure is on fire
and it feels good to feel the same.

You might call her Pleasure
but don’t you call her Sin.
I’ve been feeling around inside her
just to find where she begins.

Pleasure’s on Fire
it’s too hot to feel the pain
and hanging from the wires
is the way you’ll feel again.
You were just a gun for hire
who was willing to take the blame
Pleasure is on fire
and it feels good to feel the same.

You can climb a mountain
to know Pleasure like I’ve done
or you can roll up into a ball
and shoot yourself into the sun.
But if you ask her about me
this is what she’ll say;
“Giuseppe is on on fire
and it’s always been that way.” 

Pleasure’s on Fire
it’s too hot to feel the pain
and hanging from the wires
is the way you’ll feel again.
They called you a liar
but you were just insane
Pleasure is on fire
and it feels good to feel the same.
