Eugene Daze take one

Current Mood

Cat

Cute and furry vermicious thing you are
Sleep in the daytime
Play in the dark
With those claws you dig so deep
You're a terror when I'm trying to sleep

You're my cat
You jump on my lap
You're my friend
You know where I'm at
You're my cat
You can be such a brat
I'll feed you soon
If you'll stop crying like that

I should have known you were half siamese
The way you cry brings me down to my knees
You're a short haired Devon Rex
Someone said you'd make a very fine pet

You're my cat
You jump on my lap
You're my friend
You know where I'm at
You're my cat
You can be such a brat
I'll feed you soon
If you'll stop crying like that

I don't know what I'd do
Without you
You're always around
When I'm blue
You never talk back
You just act cool
Only one thing on your mind
That's your food
You're my cat

You only got seven lives left
Got hit by a car and window
Fell right on your head
You're my cat
You jump on my lap
You're my friend
You know where I'm at
You're my cat
You can be such a brat
I'll feed you soon
If you'll stop crying like that

Solid Gold

Words and music by
Troy Krusenstjerna

One thing I know
No one likes to be alone
One thing I've learned
No one likes to feel burned
Of all I've observed
Actions speak louder than words
For all the love I've known
You're my Solid Gold
In my heart I hold
My Solid Gold

So rare is you
Solid Gold
Through and through
So kind and true
Solid Gold
Through and through
You're the one I love
You're my Solid Gold
You're the one I love
You're my Solid Gold

You're mine to have and hold
You're my love my Solid Gold
You're the one I want when I grow old
Your  loving soul

So rare is you
Solid Gold 
Through and through
So kind and true
Solid Gold 
Through and through

You're the one I love
You're my Solid Gold
You're the one I love
You're my Solid Gold

Eugene Daze

Words and Music by Troy Krusenstjerna

Every day I live is the same day 
As the day I lived before
Same old people 
Sometimes different faces
Walking out the same front door

My friends ask me why do I stay
I took a long break 
I moved far far away
I'd always come back and I'd say
"I miss my Eugene days
and those Eugene ways"
My Eugene Daze
I'm in a Eugene Daze everyday

I get lost in the haze
I'm in a Eugene Daze
Thoughts lost in the maze
Memories of the same old place

In my Eugene Daze
Every day Every day Every day I say

I guess it was fun growing up here
And it's just as much fun
Being stuck here
Living the best day the rest day of your life

Barnacle

Words and Music by Troy Krusenstjerna

I'll cling on to you like a barnacle
Attach myself to your love
The waves have left
The sun beats down
I'll hold on the hope of your love
Hope of your love

I'll keep hanging on
Till the tide rips me away
I'll keep hanging on
Love me and I'll stay

I'll be your barnacle
I'll never let go

I'll keep hanging on
Till the tide rips me away
I'll keep hanging on
Love me and I'll stay

Till the tide rips me away
Won't you love me if I stay
Till the tide rips me away
Won't you love me if I stay

I'll be your barnacle
I'll never let go

I'll keep hanging on
Till the tide rips me away
I'll keep hanging on
Love me and I'll stay

(repeat)

Island for two

Words and music by
Troy Krusenstjerna

I've been playing the blues
Since my hearts been marooned
On an island 
meant for two
And if this island is me
The ocean is you
Cause everywhere I look
You're in my view

Wash upon my shore
Sea and sand collide
I can roll with your tide
I've been waiting for you
On an island for two

My love is strong
I've been shipwrecked so long
On this island 
Searching for you
And when I look out to sea
You're peering back at me
As your waves
Crash your tears on my shore

Wash upon my shore
Sea and sand combine
We can see eye to eye
I've been waiting for you
On this island for two

You're unpredictable moods
Waves of joy, sadness, confused
Wash upon my shore
How could I deny you
My heart has been swooned
Swept across your ocean floor

Wash upon my shore
Sea and sand combine
We can wade side by side
Living with you
On an island for two

Island for two

Lovers Road

Words and music by
Troy Krusenstjerna

Thanks for the pillow
I was deprived of sleep
You take the car keys
I'll take the back seat
I need a tune up
Recharge my battery
Been on this road so long
I love your company

On the lovers road
We travel too fast
Best to take it slow
Or you're liable to crash

Do you need your car washed?
You're looking rather dusty
Tangled up in a fender bender
Did I run into you?
Or did you run into me?

On the lovers road
We travel too fast
Best to take it slow
Or you're liable to crash

(repeat)

Cause the world moves so fast
You want love to last
But the world moves so fast

On the lovers road
We travel too fast
Best to take it slow
Or you're liable to crash
And run out of gas
When you want love to last

Lovers Road

Alibi

Words and music by Troy Krusenstjerna

It’s time to get in a groove
So much to improve
 In all those things you do
It’s all up to you
It’s all up to you

So get out of that mood
It’s not becoming of you
Don’t sit round feeling blue
It’s all up to you
It’s all up to you

After all this time
You got no alibi
After all this time 
This is your life

I know the world can be cruel
Stop following fools
Don’t play by the rules
It’s all about you
It’s all about you
	
	
You ask for the moon
And Gaslight me too
I’d give you a broom
Now you got something to do
Clean up the gloom


After all this time
You have no alibi
After all this time
Time to deal with your life

After all this time
Living your lies
It’s a wonder how you’ve survived

You can’t handle the truth
You like things laid out for you
It’s all part of your excuse
You keep playing the blues
So get out of that mood
Cause bring me down too
It’s really quite rude
When It’s all about you
It’s all about you

After all this time
You have no alibi
After all this time
Time to deal with your life

Orange Moon

Words and Music by
Troy Krusenstjerna

When there's an Orange Moon
It's when I think of you
The love that left too soon
Turned a pale blue

Always running away
From love
Like you
It's never enough
To say
 "I do"

Orange Moon
You changed your hue
Turned a pale blue

Like the night 
When I met you
Lit my life
How could I forget you
Love is sweet
Until its left you
Like an Orange Moon

Orange Moon
You left too soon
Turned a pale blue

Always running away
from love
like you
It's never enough 
To say
 'I do"

Orange Moon
You changed your tune
Turned a pale blue
How could I trust you
You're an Orange Moon
Orange Moon

Always running away
From love
Why do you?
It's never enough
To say 
"I do"

Orange Moon

Seattle

Words and music by Troy Krusenstjerna

I love Seattle in the summer
The winters are a bummer
Spring is like a dream
Fall is somewhere in between
I've lived in Oakland, California
Eugene, Portland, and Tacoma
Five months in the south of France
I never gave the french a chance

Seattle
it rains so
It'll make you cry
Seattle
As friends go
You're alright

People come and go as they please here
It makes relationships so much easier
Seattle's heart is in the freezer
You got to do more than just tease her
Start by drinking micro pounders
Root for the Seahawks  and the Sounders
Don't forget the Mariners
Don't complain about the weather
It'll never change or get much better

Seattle
Did you know?
You make me cry
Seattle 
As friends go
You're alright
Seattle

Plastic Troll

Words and Music by Troy Krusenstjerna

Sometimes life's a hassle
Sometimes life's a joke
I don't know
Sometimes an uphill battle
Sometimes life's a slope
I don't know

Plastic Trolls
taking over
The world we know
I've been updated and replaced
By a Plastic Troll

I've been updated and replaced by a plastic troll
I don't know
My hardware is still working but my memory is slow
I don't know

Plastic Trolls
 taking over
The world we know
Plastic Trolls 
You see them 
Everywhere you go
Plastic Trolls
Welcome to the black hole
Sit back
Relax 
Enjoy the show

We keep updating, and replacing
It's all about control 
don't you know
The trolls are like the devil 
They’re out for your soul 

Plastic Trolls
Taking over the world 
We know 
We’ve been robbed of time
Precious strands of gold
Sit back relax
Enjoy the show 
They’ll replace us all with plastic trolls 

I don’t know
Plastic trolls

I’ve been updated and replaced 
By a plastic troll

Good To Go

Words and music by 
Troy Krusenstjerna

I can't stand my job
It's taking its toll
When you truly dread something
You're good to go

Good to go
Good to go
It's all I want 
It's all I know
I'm good to go
Better off 
Hitting the road

You don't even know my name
 Because you never listen
You treat everyone all the same
Numbers in your system
You got your followers 
Kissing your feet
Your high turnover
Hitting the street
Good to go

Good to Go
Good To Go
It's all I want
It's all I know
I'm good to go
I'm better off 
Hitting the road

And they call you in the office
say you work to slow
"Better speed up son or you got to go"
"I got a stack of resumes this high you know"
So pick up the pace, speed up the flow"

Good to Go
Good To Go
It's all I want 
It's all I know
I'm good to go
I'm better off 
Hitting the road

You think were all meek and expendable
But we all know
You can't buy your way into heaven
After you sell your soul

I'm good to go
Good to Go
It's all I want 
It''s all I know 
It's my life
I'll take it slow
I'm good to go

Have a Dream

Words and Music by
Troy Krusenstjerna

Got to have a dream
Got to have a dream
You could do anything
You want 
If you have a dream 

It don’t take  much
Just a thought 
A hunch 
Maybe while you’re eating lunch
Or brunch?

Got to have a dream 
Got to have a dream
You could do anything 
You want 
If you have a dream 

Don’t look back 
Don’t get stuck in the past 
Seems your dreams 
Are happening 
For you at last 

Got to have a dream 
Got to have a dream
You could do anything
You want 
If you have a dream

You say 
I’m a dreamer 
What are we without our dreams 
You say
I’m a dreamer 
What are we without our dreams 

Got to have a dream 
Got to have a dream 
You could do anything
You want 
If you have a dream
