Written for the Ithaca Songwriter’s Challenge #week2


There’s gotta be a way out of this place
There’s gotta be a way 
Pick up the track and find the way back
Pick up the track and find the way back
There’s gotta be a way
There’s gotta be a crack 

There’s gotta be a way
There’s gotta be a crack 

We’ll keep on searching ‘til we find the clue
We’ll keep on fighting with the likes of you
I know we’ll make it to another level
If we can only win this battle with the Devil

Pick up the track and find the way back
Pick up the track and find the way back
There’s gotta be a way
There’s gotta be a crack

This Place

Written for #week4 of the 2005 Ithaca songwriters challenge. 


Quantum Reverie

Seems like your head’s in the outer atmosphere
As I try so hard to reach you there
I just don’t know who to call so I’m climbing up the wall
You’re on a totally different planet now
You’re cruising up in the stratosphere 
And you’re writing in the sky with a twinkle in your eye

You’re floating on air casting shadows on the world down there
While I sink in despair with such heavy hands as I’m falling down the stares
Burning in the glare

We’re gonna make us a whole new way to be
Stretched out across the galaxy we’re going interplanetary
Hooked up - connected in a quantum reverie
Entangled in the strands of time 
We’re standing on the sun expanding our minds

The funny thing is I don’t care
(Look sharp like everybody ought to - feel sharp like everybody wants to)
How you dress or cut your hair (I just can’t stop falling for you)

I know a place where we can spend our years
It takes a long long while to reach for the stars
We’re gonna catch ‘em in our hands we’re gonna trap ‘em in a jar
Let’s go together and get away from here
Blast off from our launching pad
Aiming for Mars or wherever we may land

You’re floating on air casting shadows on the world down there
While I sink in despair with such heavy hands as I’m falling down the stares
Burning in the glare

You’re only thinking of yourself
(Act sharp like everybody oughta - look sharp like everybody needs to)
You leave me naked on the shelf (but I just can’t stop falling for you)

Looks like we’re in for a long, long haul you see
Stretched out across the galaxy we’re going interplanetary
Hooked up - connected in a quantum reverie
Entangled in the strands of time 
We’re standing on the sun exploding our minds
