Songs I Sang

no chorus, sweet little solo
made on a 4 track tape console

lyrics:

yeah
we're out there in these dreams
i don't believe in anything
i just see things go by
faster than we measure time
faster than our minds
faster than the speed of light
everybody's holding tight 
why don't we let go
alright
it might not seem so great
wrestling with the arm of fate
but it might not be so bad
just look at all the love you've had
we could take it to the streets
we could take it out there

i see you every day
come a couple steps away
you might be overcome
come on baby youre the one
the only one who knows the truth
we're lost in the strata

you ask me so i do
i hope my love is gettin through
just spread your wings and fly
it's not enough to just get by
we're never gonna know the ending
forever pending...

my little red radio
it knows what i dont know
the life & the times & the times & life
the life & the times & the times & life
every body, thing unseen and seen
in the modern lines to hope
where you get so clean
monumental dreams
floating out to heads in spaces
of big beliefs

your mind is your heart i guess
confused by a tounge and a dress, yes
i need you to see that i find you fine
it took me some time just to take my time
i want you to know that i love your mind
and your body close to me
13 feet away is closer than ive ever been
imaginary dreams are just as real as anything
in ecstasy

you know my luck ran out last week
i needed the relief
its all insane when its all the same
easy cash or a paper plane
it all got good when we felt the pain

in our temples
caves of ice
trench of mystery love
and a laughing dancing christ
before and after time and us
before and after time and us
before and after time and us
and us
and ducks
and ducks 
and ducks

my little red radio
it knows what i dont know
the life & the times & the times & life
the life & the times & the times & life
every body, thing unseen and seen
in the modern lines to hope
where you get so clean
monumental dreams
floating out to heads in spaces
of big beliefs

perSEVERE

There you go
Wishing, I know
That your heart
Your mind
And your soul
We’re protected
Unaffected
All those little black holes
Worries and woes
Like the money
And the war

The herd
is on fire
It’s alright

Night time is gone
Daylights coming on
Heavy like a fiend
Still you’re walking in a dream
Can’t you seem
To believe
There’s no future 
No past
It happens so fast
What’s it mean
Anyway
What’d I say?

The herd is on fire
And it’s alright

This whole world’s in your head 
What I said
This is why
No because could ever bring Understanding
Not a cause
In sight
No beginnings or light
You are free
To go
Anytime 
So why not
Why not make it sweet for a little while 

The herd is on fire
And it’s alright

lost mac

on my way to pick u up, when u call me from a dollar store
i can barely pick my mixed up self up

wanna say ill make it up
didnt mean to trip u up, now
but if u fall up the stairs to heaven
let me hold u
i can let u go
i can hang if u want or i can hang back
im just lettin u know that
I’ll be there to pick u up
if u want
there to pick u up at night
alright

never had no kinda luck
nothing ever went right
thats before u came through
and turned on the love light

when i come to pick u up
i wont ever ask why
just tell me that u want to
if u want to 
ride

U know i cant rush it
double when i fly blind
U know i really can crush it
its gonna be just like this time
yeah, i want to
said, i want to
i wanna do that

we can do that
yes i think we can

U can hear what they say 
its the same when u see what they do
im the one out here spun
just waiting for you
i know u’d do the same thing too
even out in my scene wanna say its just trouble with u
i  think they cant stop thinking 
about the things that we might get up to
jealous thinking wont do
no no 

well i guess Ur not at work
already checked the pet stores
how can i be your ride 
on time
when U’r riding the blue line?

pickin' up

Mama, mama 
Where have you been 
You know
When you lose
You hardly ever get to win
Uh huh 
So Fake it,  fake it now
Only with those blue lights in your face 
can you begin to…
Darling, darling
I’ve loved you from the start
But now 
Don’t get ahead of me 
I’ve only got two hearts 
So take it, take it in
Always in some space between
The bullet and the mark, 
oh, uh huh
Mama
Did you see my sparkling lights
Beyond the veil
Did you mean to not quite notice
The death of yours back along the trail 
Oh oh love
You tasted, tasted it 
And now you’re all alone with all that money that you made
When you feel that
You are not for real
Nothing matters
And there’s nothing left to steal 
You can break it
Break it up
Come to me my love 
And we can always do our stuff 
oh yeah
Uh huh, oh yeah
Mama, mama 
Where have you been
You know when you lose
You hardly ever get to win 
So you can fake it
Fake it now
Only with these blue lights in your face
Can you begin to see

mama, where ya been

Hey
Turn me up
As loud as 
U
Can
Ok?
