Everything was flowing
As it seems to do
How can it have been this long
Since I’ve seen all of you
Floating out at sea
Swimming in our dreams
Where we show up for each other
Let’s do it again
Gotta get crazy
Crash through the waves
Without a destination
The dimming of the lights indicates
That your presence is everywhere
When nothing matters anymore
Gotta feel it to feel it I have to
Kamikaze falling down from the sky
Kamikaze every time I die
I’ve lost control on my way down
I am not responsible
I just want to be part of the team
Give me another chance to prove
My allegiance is here with you
Floating out at sea
Swimming in our dreams
Where we show up for each other
Let’s do it again
Gotta get crazy
Crash through the waves
Without a destination

Save me again
the only way
there is no end
to the building of
The 6th street bridge and its songs
that float around
longing to be heard
still waiting to be found
Out come on it’s not
so terrible
when you keep driving
nowhere no plan
Check it out there’s nothing to
lose yourself inside your head
break some records break a sweat
before you’re fuckin dead
Oh is it true?
too late too far
away to hold
you in my sights
Swinging wildly
I will eventually
land a punch I will
not lose the thrill
Of joining you
somewhere that’s old
dark, musty and
on fire

West Side
03:18
|

I’m from the west side
you can’t tell by looking but I almost did blend in
Then I met some cool kids lived in the valley
and they showed me what to wear
Overdosed on coffee talked about the future
where we’d take our rightful place
Tried to copy Ultravox Bill Nelson Eno Iggy Pop
and some Magazine
25 years and nothing’s changed
It’s a lonely day so far from home
I tried to conform but so I thought
If I bent I broke the mold I found a perfect hiding place
I never... go back to the west side where the ocean
kisses all the jasmine in the air
Unless I’m destined to live in prison that is lined
with golden bars of gold
It takes an hour just to get on to the freeway
I think I got out just in time
and all my old friends back in the west side
live so far so far away
I always want to please let myself off the hook
I won’t write because I’m scared the
words are going to break my heart
If I come back then you will know
my stories come to this eternal bliss
I’m from the west side

Heaven On Earth
02:31
|

|
Woke up with the smell of your old house
no one could ever match your taste
I’ve got the video tapes
your letters from Italy
What the hell did you see in me?
I guess I was cool enough
you must have seen
I was a nervous wreck
I’m so grateful for you
and your family too
so devoid of banality
The shades from Tiffany
The idols watching over us
The opium den where we would sleep
our brains awash in ecstasy
I miss all that and especially
the nights your folks and all their friends
would seamlessly
mix with all us kids...
It was heaven on earth

Heat Seek
02:39

Take away my body
so all I see is bright
beat down from the sun
Forgiveness breeds forgiveness
proving that your word is all I’ve got
This static occupation has struck
my clock again and the jolt is very strong
The seasons make me pure again
but the goal is to make it through the night
I can hear you laughing
but I’m loath to see it that way
feeling more than anxious
without a notion why… not
get naked in the soil
You keep tryin’ to bang bang on my day
to position me on the right side of your soul
the right side of your soul
The brimming of my weakness
the raincoat of my life
clouds those messages from the stars
Take this rollercoaster ride
into my mind… and let you watch me dance
The clearing of the crowd
indicates it’s more than a fleeting romance
It’s a fleeting romance

Somehow
04:07

I wish that we could do it over
I wasn’t true in what I said
Your persistence tried my patience
Not that that was something bad
Now that you’ve gone away
I see you in a better light
So much to appreciate
I’ll make it right somehow
Your friends are like a family
But you kept us all apart
Now that we’re all together
It sucks that we weren’t from the start
Now that you’ve gone away
I see you in a better light
So much to appreciate
I’ll make it right somehow
Why do we only see what we had
When it’s gone away
Makes no sense that I can’t call you
For now it’s just that way

Snakes
03:33
|
|||
|
The sinister way you turned on me
is no surprise
A lacking of trust… this seed’s been sown
Let's take some time and see if any
of this comes true?
I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt
but secrets get out
Their snake-like skin…
never sees the sun
behind closed doors...
planning our demise
You’ve always had a superior air
about you… as your beauty fades...
you lash out
I know I’m not the only one you
will lose this battle is a waste
of time I would guess
Their snake-like skin…
never sees the sun
behind closed doors...
planning our demise
I won’t brace for what you say is coming
I’ve heard it all before
but it never seems to arrive
It's a shame I’ll miss all the good things
but we must say goodbye

The tangerine hues across the sky
will bring the emotion back
to the desert brush you off again
with these threats of death to all…
the doubt that there is an answer to
the questions burning you
Breaking down is hard to do
when you’re built this perfectly
‘round the moon hangs alone
shining everywhere you won’t....
look for the answer to
the questions burning you
concerning love of selfish anonymity
You’re here again
the black between
you and the stars

Throw The Game
04:09
|
|||
|
Say goodbye now
There’s no chance
to scramble out with
my guard down
Connection fades out now there’s
no daylight
‘Cause I am looking for a way out of this
and I am looking for a way
to throw the game
Move the goal post
is it not fair
enough to say I’ve tried
my best?
I’ll never turn my back on
you so
it makes no sense at all
that I am...
Looking for a way out of this
I’m always looking for a way
to throw the game
