The Carpet Crawlers

Millennial Stupor (Lyrics)

The sun went down on our glory days
The tide came in, right up to our face
Jesus, Caesar, guess what Simon says…
We sailed too long, crashed against the waves

So long, take or leave it…
This is not our fate…
It takes time, to realise it…
Got to get out…it’s too late…

When the sun comes up, on those dizzy days
You’ll see that you got lost out in the haze
Slowly lonely tears run down your face…
We sailed too long, drowned beneath the waves…

Now the suns gone down on our glory days
The tide came in and washed it all away
Slowly lonely tears run down your face
We lost it all down beneath the waves

So long, take or leave it…
This is not our fate…
Takes time, to realise it…
Got to get out…it’s too late…

When the sun comes up, on those dizzy days
You’ll see that you got lost out in the haze
Slowly lonely tears run down your face
We sailed too long, but hey what’s one more day…

Millennial Stupor (Dizzy Days)

Verse 1
Sally was a looker, the angel of night
Walking the streets, under street lights
Sally was my lover, since we were young
But now we’re done and apart

Verse 2
Got my education, I moved away
We grew apart, nothing to say
She found the thrill of getting so high
Much as I try she won’t stop

Prechorus
And she has this man
With his scar and his spray painted tan
I want to reach out to her
But he guards her like she is his own

 
Chorus
Sally would you come, would you run away
There’s a better life beyond these hills
In you there is that girl
The one I knew when I was your man
And in time you will shed off this skin
And we’ll make it to the promised land

Middle
On and on we go, on and on we must move forward
On and on we go now baby, ah ah ah

Prechorus
One night I faced her man
And he blocked the door and pulled out a gun
She was bruised and crying
And I knew that I would fight for her life

Verse
Sally was my lover, my childhood friend
I’ll stay with her till the end
I rush towards him, screaming with rage
You’ll never know how this ends

Sally Was This Girl

someplace, somewhen
we’ll never meet again
this moment’s pinned up onto time
the razor now
will cut and split our thens
and even stars will fall in line
and little you and tiny I
oh we are just as unrepeatable
we only got to run it once
in all of this someplace-somewhen

you know those ripples
in the oxbow lake
repeat never again
we’re not all evil
when we make mistakes 
we hope to fix them all somewhen

no we
don’t need
no reason for the jubilee
no harm
no foul
no lent or saint for a carnival

no we
don’t need
no reason for a jubilee 
no harm
no foul
no miracles for a carnival

one place, one when—
a trickster of eternity
neither will crease nor bend
at least not for you & me

so gather all ye rosebuds while ye may
this is why you came
(of course it’s not okay)
just gather no regrets
somehow, someway...

someplace, somewhen
we’ll never meet again
this moment’s once in all of time
the razor now
will cut and split our thens
and even galaxies will fall in line

you know that levee
where we drank and wept
will not repeat again

no we
don’t need
no fancy math for a jubilee
no harm
no foul
no speed bumps for a carnival

someplace, somewhen
someplace, somewhen
we got to happen once
and never again

Someplace, Somewhen

Monumental Times

A Small Prayer

Old Vibez

90's inspired guitar rock produced in Metro Detroit.

Fanfare for lunatics on parade. The man in charge will always tell you why.
Let's make the same mistake, we'll tear it down to seal our fate.
We're losing pieces of our pride, roll the dice and let it ride.

Trapped in a photograph where soul cries, another laughs.
Down and out or in between, the worst emotion ever seen.
Sowing doubt, truth be told, the opposition is under sold.
Down and out or in between, we're losing sight of everything.

Let's break it down to "not a thing". The moral of the story echoes on.
Just cast aside the college try and the paint to draw the line.
I've given up you've done the same. Couldn't take one more day.

Trapped in a photograph where one soul cries another laughs.
Down and out or in between. Worst emotion ever seen. Built for lies and deceit.
Sowing doubt, the truth be told, the opposition is under sold.
Down and out or in between. Half-baked truth that we receive.

And there is no amount of sorrow, or anything you can barrow now.
Hats are off, you did your thing. Hopelessness is what you bring.....
and no amount of sorrow.

Inbetween

Julia's Flame

Edited 7/13/2024 to make pleasing for all.
Sorry.  Rock on.

And again 7/27/2024
That said;
For the love of creation and the desire to share with those who love music.  Thoughtful music.
