Green for You

I called upon the skies above too gray

For a minute or two I thought the wind blew through

Then the clouds convened

Then deemed to rain down

And in the rain

I thought that one shot to kill sound

And when the night blew through

I knew I was green for you

The moon came out and lit it out for two

Then the thunder hit wakened me from my lonely sit

And in the rain alone you shone as my green fit

You’re it

My fit

You’re it

My fit

So hear me now

If you listen over there

Across the ways a bit

Hear these words from my lips

I’m green for you

I’ll leave this spot

And have a walk back toward you

You’ll take my green and turn it into a blue

Our blue

Our blue

--------------------------------------

Exit Left

This all I have to say

I should have left yesterday

But all this pain kept me here

Now I have nothing left to fear

Chorus:

I closed the curtains to make night

You have to sleep when you can’t fight

Exit left the stage

Heal these wounds with your sage

And how I end this I don’t know

You can stay or you can go

Now I’ll say my last thing

You leave life with what you bring

Chorus

Bridge

Chorus

--------------------------------------

Same Old Thing

Your Prozac dreams make you hurt

Stomach pains belly burnt

Satin sheets loosened wills

No money to pay our bills

Let the stones fall where they may

Sorry life’s all array

The phone is off lines are down

Hope you like being bound

Chorus:

I want to find a way back home

To feel and steal and be all alone

(And it’s the same old thing)

Yellowed paper on the floor

No reason to ask for more

But you won’t see you’re abused

So stick around be used

No peace in your modem line

No way to see from behind

Begging for nerves to scatter

Oh well nothing matters

Chorus

Bridge: 

The code you want wasn’t there

The salt it spilt everywhere

So toss your feelings over

Your broken right shoulder

Your feelings are so retrograde

When lights go down eyes fade

So bury the truth in you

You must like playing a fool

The raw pain that climbs inside

Blackens you every stride

The treason that ate your soul

Could never make you full

--------------------------------------

Black Lips

Everything’s cold and grey

Dusk won’t set on this day

We’re all born in a storm

In family life it took form (in her)

Chorus:

Black lips fade

Fly away

Float into you

Cut the sky

Climb on through

And start this life anew (with you)

Pennyless was how she lived

A father with no love to give

And she likes to cut flowers in rain

Her beauty is her pain (in her)

Chorus

Repeat First Verse

Chorus

--------------------------------------

Unhitch

Come right on in

And sit and sit

The show will begin

Again again

On lives we lay

The way we play

And the crew we’re in

Within within

Chorus:

A show

Is a life

How long will they

Watch my life today

Unhitch life away

Blow out my way

Rise

Stay there for days

One lives a life

But more but more

Live right there beside

Next door next door

And on we go

In a big show

No man or cop

Will ever stop

Chorus

To close I will say

Just live the life

That’s put in your way

Today today

For soon one day

Your show will start

To fade away

One day, someday

Chorus
