You're All I See

There’s a door inside the ocean
There’s a door inside the sea
You’re all I see
You’re my honey in the morning
The milk inside my tea
You’re all I see
You’re all I see
Like a headlight on the highway
Breaking white lines across the knee
You’re all I see
Like an empty burning house
Built in the shelter of a lee
You’re all I see

You’re just a boy
In a world of sharks
You’re just the board
In a game of darts
And it’s nothing new
So baby don’t take offense
And don’t be afraid
Of not making sense
Because it wouldn’t be the first time
No it wouldn’t be the first time
If ever you’re scared
Then quit acting tough
It’s only self defense
And now enough is enough
If ever you think
It just isn’t your fault
Take a look at yourself
Busy falling apart
Because it wouldn’t be the first time
No it wouldn’t be the first time
It wouldn’t be the first time
No it wouldn’t be the first time

Rainbow Trout
02:45
|
|||
|
Spying out looking for land
Just a patch of golden sand
The ocean deep
Somewhere I can rest a beat
On yellow dunes of defeat
Somewhere to sleep
Sleep off the memory of you
I scaled the floor, I plunged the depths
I smoked up all your cigarettes
I’ve played it cool
Frozen time, I made it last
A lonely crow atop your mast
I’ve been a fool
I’ve been a fool for you
So bear my weight at least tonight
Before I cast my wings to flight
Over the sea
And scan the sullen depths of doubt
For a silver shining rainbow trout
Out swimming free
I’ll join him in his search upstream
Through reefs and spills of gasoline
It’s gonna be
Through centuries all yet to come
Through all the proof I’m not the one
I thought I could be
I thought I would be for you

Good Fortune
02:40
|

|
Hey hey little arrow
You’re covered in gold
Like a pharaoh
Dressed up for his tomb
Standing straight
With a smile
Standing up straight
To be embraced by the arms of his doom
Hey hey little song
I can read the palm
Lines, cut deep
In your hands
You couldn’t see them
Could you?
You had them dug deep
In the warmth of the sand
Hey hey little city
From a distance you’re pretty
It really
Isn’t so bad
To have the good fortune
To understand love
When you know
You’ve been had
I just wish I knew sooner
So I didn’t have to go
Along, and waste
So much time
And keep acting too proud
To go ahead
And accept
A little peace of mind

Deck of Cards
03:26
|
|||
|
Shuffle me baby
I’m a deck of cards
Aces and spades
Diamonds and hearts
And I got what you need
Somewhere inside
It just might take you
By surprise
Now, I’ve met a couple
Girls like you
They quit the table
Before the game was through
One by one
They walked right out the door
Always wishing they had played
Just one hand more
So raise the stakes
And forget the past
Another drink
Might make that feeling last
This smokey rooms
A crystal ball
But sometimes it doesn’t show you
Much at all

Pretend With Me
02:52
|
|||
|
Pretend with me
Close your eyes and see
Days without regret
And keep them like a secret you won’t soon forget
Pretend with me
I’m all I’ve hoped to be
That this all some awful dream
That this life isn’t so fruitless, callous and mean
It’s that always turning question burning
All the asking taxed upon my mind
Can I leave this place without
Leaving you behind?
Pretend with me
Just pretend with me
Our dreams are carved in white stone
At least as real as all the time we’ve spent alone
Pretend with me
You’re not just a memory
That I’ll stand to see you once again
And I won’t just have these traces on which to depend
It’s that always pending never ending
Ticking time playing tricks on my mind
Can I leave this place without
Leaving you behind?
It’s that always turning question burning
All the asking taxed upon my mind
Can I leave this place without
Leaving you behind?

Caledonia

Be there rain
Be there snow
Be there nowhere left to go
Caledonia
I’ll find my way back to you
Be it cool
Be it hot
Be it something tomorrow that today it’s not
Caledonia
I’ll find my way back to you
Be it wrong
Be it right
Be our distance long as a sleepless night
Caledonia
I’ll find my way back to you
If we’re rich
Or in the red
I’ll always want to share your bed
Caledonia
I’ll find my way back to you
And though I’m weak
I’m still on my feet
I see you running
As our past looks on
And I’m in a rush
Cuz I don’t got much
Left for you darling
Be it for unfinished songs
If I’m small
If I break
Upon your breast it’s rest I’ll take
Be us one
Or with another
I swear I’ll always give you cover
Caledonia
I’ll find my way back to you

World of Masks
02:55
|
|||
|
So fix me up baby
A strong so maybe
I can float on a whim
Find my strength once again
I wanna feel like ice
Loaded as dice
In the palm of the hand
That rolls me again
Cuz I just wanna find
Out, about the man
In the mirror
So listen up baby
I’m a mystery of lately
Wearing a mask
And I’ve learned at last
That I’m a machine
Run on gasoline
That I’m guilty, been the witness
And this is none of my business
But every frozen heart has got
One last drop of love
For a brand new start
Yeah I been the ocean
I’ve been the shore
I’ve been every drop of water
Touching the oar
I’ve been the gambler
With no hand to play
Waiting until
The cards fall my way
And now I’m gonna find
Out, about this man
In the goddamn mirror

Emily
Do you think about me in the morning?
Do you think about me in the evening?
As it’s growing cold
Do you still see?
Me, in the corner of your minds eye
Like a shadow
So close behind
Oh Emily
There’s just something about the way you smile
Something that sets back the miles
On a broken heart
Would you ever meet
Me, somewhere in a past life?
Behind the curtains
Of all the days gone by
Because these four wheels
They wanna take me
To where the pavement ends
And I’ll walk until
The earth runs out
Beneath my feet
And I’ll come crawling
Quietly, back to you
Because oh you
Come and go you
Turn me around
Don’t turn me down
Don’t break my heart again
Because oh you
Come and go you
Turn me around
Don’t turn me down
Don’t break my heart again

Cappuccino Springs
03:15
|

|
It was back upon the shores
Of Cappuccino Springs
Weighted down by gold
And heavy diamond rings
I set my eyes upon
A haunted old blue house
Built upon the edge
Of a humming river mouth
Mouth
So I jumped off of the deck
Toward the palace cased in ice
To harken for a feeling
That I’ve only known twice
Well I climbed upon them hills
Through canyons capped in snow
Through boarded up old windows
Toward that warm electric glow
Glow
And I wished that I was back
At Cappuccino Springs
Still drunk upon the dreams
Of fine and pleasant things
Like a necklace strung with pearls
Like a river of rare stones
Turquoise, jade and emeralds
Golden dinosaur bones
But when I pushed wide the doors
Only memories did I see
Spinning in the ether
Speaking out to me
In tongues so green and foreign
Tongues so wrought with fire
Casting shadows across my vision
And calling me a liar

|

|
Follow me
One by one
I’m not yet
Ready to go home
To a world
Hard as a pearl
Just spinning there
On it’s own
Carry me down
Spiral stairs
Careful now
I’ve got too much to lose
My pockets
Are spilling change
And dreams and things
And ideas I didn’t choose
Make myself a ball
Tight and small
a grain of sand
I’m a pearl
I can fit
Between your hands
(And be alright )
There’s a hole
In my heart
Lately only colored
By doubt
Where hope is vague
But dread precise
One day I’ll be
A window looking out
Bright and clear
Polished
Shining like a stone
Between your arms
And shining
I’ll be at home
I’m gonna be alright
