Freelancing on a Pheromone

Don't Make The Rules

Molotov

Melody on the breeze / Bringing me to my knees / Oh I've been ignoring you too long / I've been turning the other cheek / In search of a word to speak / When I only had to sing along / You're on my windowsill / Whippoorwill / You're on my windowsill / Whippoorwill / I've been bangin' on my guitar / Inside of an empty bar / Feedback knockin' me back off my feet / There must be a better way / To say what you want to say / Without putting the clientele to sleep / You're on my windowsill / Whippoorwill / You're on my windowsill / Whippoorwill / Sing me to the break of dawn / I was wrong, I was wrong / Sing me through the lonesome night / You were right, you were right / You were right as the fallin' rain / Rap-tap-tappin' upon my pane / Soaking my imagination through / Never again will I / Be so lonesome that I could cry / Crying only makes me think of you

Scared Away The Song

Whippoorwill

You're coming to a fork in the road / How will you choose? / I wish I didn't know what I know / 'Cause either way I lose / You'll know it when you find it /You don't need to hide behind a vow / Can't you see you're meant for me? / Blue eyes don't fail me now / I've fallen to the back of the queue / I must confess / The only thing I don't wanna do / Is be your second best / But darling why am I still waiting / For what I know you won't allow? / Can't you see you're meant for me? / Blue eyes don't fail me now / And I don't need to know / Where you've been just where you want to go / Stealing a kiss at the bar / What used to be so easy got so hard / Tell me who you want me to be / And I'll comply / Although it isn't easy for me / To see the reason why / We worry about tomorrow / When all we have is here and now / Can't you see you're meant for me? / Blue eyes don't fail me now

Blue Eyes Don't Fail Me Now

Turn your eyes away, my darlin' / There's only debris for you and me / Singing to the brokenhearted is not what it used to be / Can't you see? / If you keep heroes in ones and zeroes / How can you be sure / That they were ever real at all? / Smoke and mirrors are so much clearer than what I'm looking for / The singer scared away the song / Listen to the breeze, my darlin' / Raising its voice / Surface noise / Everybody's ears are starving / Begging for change / Ain't it strange? / If you keep heroes in ones and zeroes / How can you be sure / That they were ever real at all? / Smoke and mirrors are so much clearer than what I'm looking for / The singer scared away the song / Freedom isn't for the faint of heart / These corrupted files stretch a thousand miles / I don't know where to start / I don't know who to believe / If you keep heroes in ones and zeroes / How can you be sure / That they were ever real at all? / Smoke and mirrors are so much clearer than what I'm looking for / The singer scared away the song / Do you still want to sing along?

LIGHTNING ROD

I saw you pick a fight by candlelight / I saw you grind the world to a halt / The only maitre d' in Tennessee / You had him crying out "it's not my fault" / All the while is that a grimace or a smile? / No one can tell / A hundred miles / Now we're waiting single file to wish you well / They're ringing out the bells / Lightning rod, lightning rod / Close your eyes / Prepare to meet your god / Lightning rod, lightning rod / Close your eyes, close your eyes / Another coat of paint don't make a saint / You've gotta chip away your whole life / If you don't feel at home in flesh and bone / You know you got at least one thing right
