A late night female jazz vocal full of longing and melancholy, an attempt to paint a memory turned into a memory of a Wong Kar-wai movie.

my beautiful lie
a jazz piano ballad

so many words in the air
line them up lying words 
always sound so good 
better than true

my beautiful lie
how will i spend
eternity without you

mad and at peace
i am trying to connect
i am trying to connect
to anybody else out 
there in the madlands

my beautiful lie
how will i spend
eternity without you

my beautiful lie

Dirt

Verse 1
Someone was playing your song the other night.
The bar was all but empty except for one guy.
Couldn’t stop, kept playing your song on a loop,
That guy was me, honey, your trusty old stoop.

Chorus
Don’t spread no rumors,
Acting like they are true;
Got my own dirt on you,
I can dish it too.
One way or the other,
We will both hurt —
Don’t spread no rumors,
Don’t spread no dirt.

Verse 2
As I’s heading for the exit a new thought hit me fast —
If I can’t handle it, I’ll probably go bust.
And it’s a shame for a man come into his prime
To keep looking for a nickel in a pocketful of dames.

Bridge
So I barreled down the road at a decent eighty five.
Fog was thick and heavy, you could cut it with a knife.

Chorus
Don’t spread no rumors,
Acting like they are true;
Got my own dirt on you,
I can dish it too.
One way or the other,
We will both hurt —
Don’t spread no rumors,
Don’t spread no dirt.

Pilgrim Road

Dirt/Grass

this is the shorter funkier (imo) version of the song, similar to the ska version & different too.

Waiting

I’m on a street of no return,
Billions have all been here before.
Why am I waiting for this moment?
What am I waiting for?

Bodies sneak under the light,
Every step just feels the same.
Buried in their own game,
Melting faces gliding by,
Hope lost treasures to reclaim.

I’m on a street of no return,
Billions have all been here before.
Why am I waiting for this moment?
What am I waiting for?

Steps like whispers in a dawn mist,
Strangers caught in a dead end lane.
Eyes still hold a ghostly flame,
Moving forward, out of time,
Chasing dreams they cannot name.

On a corner strangers fight,
Dark roads curve and fade from sight.
But I’m bound to stand my ground,
Waiting for the morning light
To end this dark and endless night.

Time slips by and I stand still,
Holding hope against my will.
Is there something I am meant to find?
Is this a trick of my restless mind?

I’m on a street of no return,
Billions have all been here before.
Why am I waiting for this moment?
What am I waiting for?

Maybe I’ll know when it’s far too late
Or when truth drifts beyond my fate.
But for now I wait once more
And still wonder what I’m waiting for.

Waiting

Fading Into Blue


We’ve come a long way through the darkness
We’re yearning for a glimpse of light
We’re sitting on our broken bed and
We’re talking late into the night.

You say I offer empty midnights
You say my love is no more true
You say our hearts are no longer hungry
But I can’t face life without you

Fade into blue
The curse on me 
Is a curse on you;
We’re fading into blue
My own true love’s
Lost without you

I say don’t feed me to the monsters
I say they’re waiting for their break
All dressed up in their Sunday best
They wait to burn me at a stake

Fade into blue
The curse on me 
Is a curse on you
We’re fading into blue
My own true love’s
Lost without you

Fade into blue
The curse on me 
Is a curse on you
We’re fading into blue
My own true love’s
Lost without you

My own true love’s
Lost without you,
My own true love’s
Lost without you.

Fading into Blue (cinematic version)

Fading Into Blue

We’ve come a long way through the darkness
We’re yearning for a glimpse of light
We’re sitting on our broken bed and
We’re talking late into the night.

You say I offer empty midnights
You say my love is no more true
You say our hearts are no longer hungry
But I can’t face life without you

Fade into blue
The curse on me 
Is a curse on you;
We’re fading into blue
My own true love’s
Lost without you

I say don’t feed me to the monsters
I say they’re waiting for their break
All dressed up in their Sunday best
They wait to burn me at a stake

Fade into blue
The curse on me 
Is a curse on you
We’re fading into blue
My own true love’s
Lost without you

Fade into blue
The curse on me 
Is a curse on you
We’re fading into blue
My own true love’s
Lost without you

My own true love’s
Lost without you,
My own true love’s
Lost without you.

Fading Into Blue

Master Rain

Verse 1
Master Rain, do you know what remains?
Shall we go down fighting those flames,
Or just run and drop our guns in the drain,
Master Rain?

Verse 2
Master Rain, I fear this bumpy dark road
With signs I can’t tell will lead us to hell,
But I am too high to ever complain,
Master Rain!

Verse 3
Master Rain, let’s revisit tomorrow,
Too much junk brings more sorrow,
Let’s plan something less trouble again,
Master Rain!

Chorus
We hold in a cluster and push back with bluster
But our energy sinks as we get to the brink
And realize we are both dazed and mildly insane.
We are just two cowboys peddling cocaine.

Verse 4
Master Rain, we’ll get another terrain,
Mind our own corner, get it in order,
Kill the roaches and ride high again,
Master Rain!

Verse 5
Master Rain, our loss is their gain;
There’s an old rusty biplane and it’s
Waiting to get a clear lane,
Master Rain!

Verse 6
Master Rain, let’s climb on board,
Nothing left to explain, we’re soaked
And cold in a dark, invisible plain,
Master Rain!

Bridge
We’ll find more buys than we realize, we
Just need to keep rolling all the way up to Maine.

Chorus
We hold in a cluster and push back with bluster
But our energy sinks as we get to the brink
And realize we are both dazed and mildly insane.
We are just two cowboys peddling cocaine.

Master Rain

love is a knife

love is a knife
you push it slow
then pull it hard
away you go

love is a knife
on a black horse
a dead rider 
in Sierra Morena

love is a knife
love is pain
it goes deep down
leaves no stain

black horse
dead rider
thieves are
singing your song

love is a knife
hurts like hell

Love Is a Knife

inhale the light

my mind made up
no guardian cloud
iron lung inhale
inhale again
rain colors wipe the dust
inhale the light

hole in my shoe
leaking water
trapped in space
down frosty waves
cloud guardian at the gate
inhale the light

every day do what we do
every day today we do

pick me up, damn shame
nobody takes the blame

my mind made up
no guardian cloud
iron lung inhale
inhale again
rain colors wipe the dust
inhale the light

bright sky behind
rain evil dies
a troubled mind
inhale again
stars will be aligned
inhale the light

pick me up, damn shame
nobody takes the blame

my mind made up
no guardian cloud
iron lung inhale
inhale again
rain colors wipe the dust
inhale the light

Fading into Blue

Inhale the Light

golden coast heatwave


a golden coast heatwave
sky furnace is on blast
a golden coast heatwave
sky furnace is on blast

driving down from Mendocino
hugged the coast, kicked some dust.

when we got to Santa Cruz
we thought we finally had it made
when we got to Santa Cruz
we thought we finally had it made

old man sat on the side of the road
said, slow down, it’s one ten in the shade.

we can’t slow down we hurry
we have a tail on us we fear
we can’t slow down we hurry
we have a tail on us we fear

pray tell us where we get
a fifth of rye, a case of ice-cold beer.

old man sauntered to our side
been waiting for you guys a while
the old man sauntered to our side
been waiting for you guys a while

get out and put your hands where I see them
our cells are cold, he told us with a smile.

judge said, son, you get 30 for this one
thanks judge, I said, we will behave
judge said, son, you get 30 for this one
thanks judge, I said, we will behave

we’ll take a roof, free meal and a bed
any day in a golden coast heatwave.
