New Way

(Mix/Master: WOODS STUDIO)
(Guitar for solo and electric rhythm - FOG CITY FOGEY)

Is anyone out there
In reach of my voice?
If you don’t answer, are you unable
Or is it by choice?

When nobody sees you
Run off and cry
Run off and cry
Walk back and show them
Before the tears dry

Hang your heart out
On your sleeve
If someone sends feelers
Be there to receive
So hang your heart out

When everything goes wrong
You keep coming up short
The highfalutin’ crowd around you 
All snicker and snort
Snicker and snort
Why keep on making wasted effort?

Hang your heart out
In some other town
Don’t put up with people
Who just put you down

If where you’ve been is
No place to shine
Just move your business
Put up a sign
Yeah hang your heart out!

Yeah it sounds risky
Not a sure bet
Nope, not a sure bet
But why stop to worry
About what hasn’t happened yet?

Just hang your heart out
Free and proud 
Don’t bother askIng
If that’s even allowed
Just hang your heart out

Hang Your Heart Out

Fear

Now it’s vertigo, then moonglow
And everything feels so new
All that’s left to say is float on
and now we’re into the blue      
              
We’re already homesick but we’re not looking back
We’re equal parts elated and just numb to the facts
And we’re making time on this celestial track                       
Nothing but sky    

See the light now gently bending
and see the color decay
And the force that always bound us
its pull is slipping away     

Yes, it’s terrifying but it’s here and it’s ours
It’s electric lovers drinking heat from the stars
It’s a billion lightyears, but it isn’t that far 
A violent joy 

The moon is laughing 
The cosmos is asking

See the light now gently bending
and see the color decay
And the force that always bound us
its grip is slipping away

We’re a little stricken but we’re not looking back
We’re equal parts elated and just numb to the facts
And we’ve made good time on this celestial track
And now we’re home

Vertigo Then Moonglow

Oh the lungs full of shadows!
Oh the hearts full of arrows
Oh and the organs of peace 
Oh and the children who just know
Mmm Mmm Mmm   
Oh and the mines in the shallows 
See that our eyes are all closed?


Oh I look through my eye
Oh the vitreous drifts by 
Oh what if I looked through yours? 
Oh who would I then spy?
Mmm Mmmm Mmmmm  
Oh who would I then spy 
seeing the world through your eye?
