Aint Gonna - title
Saw you dancing on a weekend night
Imitating all the moves of disco
I’m not impressed by yr weak insight
I bet yr minions love it
they want it, you got it
Cause I know soul power follows might
Don’t need a witness I’ve un-
Lo-o-o-o-o-cked it all
But have yr fun just pay me no mind
Getting stand-ins to talk
Like yr Marlon Brando
(Chorus)
I ain’t gonna
Bump into to you on a Friday night
I aint gonna
Let this happen your not in my life
Step away step away from pain
You got me singin in the pouring rain
Step away step away from pain
Rip rip rip your soul out
Salutations from an airline flight
Parachuting landing down, in Frisco
Hop a trolley onto 3rd and Vine
Don’t care about Flower Power
You want it, you got it
I hope I’m far enough to start it right
While memory just keeps a
li-i-i-i-ive in dreams
if I can’t touch it I’ll be dead inside
playing Hatfield lite
like yr Evan Dando
(chorus)
Step away step away from pain
You got me singin in the pouring rain
Step away step away from pain
Rip rip rip your soul out
(bridge)
You recall stories like we are till best friends
Rip rip rip yr soul……
Keep the old times around, while i
Amputate em, cut off on both sides!
Not on your life pal….
Saw you relaxin on a weekend night
Cleaned out the cookies that were from, Nabisco
Used to dance a lot but now it’s bright
Illuminated bedroom
you want it, i got it
I shared the secret cause im not uptight
Don’t need a save point I just
Pa-a-a—ased them all
now it’s your turn to watch me dance this plight
Only on top of your grave
Like I’m Tony Randall
(chorus) x2
Step away step away from pain
You got me singin in the pouring rain
Step away step away from pain
Rip rip rip your soul out

Kodiak - title
There’s a place with no locks on the door
And my heart never vibes not scenic
There a tune on the avian wind
only lock that I ever needed
Chorus
There’s a trace where everybody goes at night
Bed unturns as i yearn for the world outside
Maecenas.....
On the verge of a thought that is wrong
We relax lay about the scenery
Write a poem galvanized by allure
Saying nothing will come between us
(Chorus)
The koda…..the kodiak wind x2
When it comes to the one that I love
I will transport the world bedside her
I will be like the grass and the trees
Like leaf on the wind but lighter
There is food there are tools there is rain
Their alight as the road that’s guides us
To place with the avian wind
And I laugh As I come In sight of
(chorus)
Maecenas....
The koda…..the kodiak wind x8

Don't Know Why It Works, But it Works - title
i got excess fat, on my body
'cause when i run i'm being lazy
and the world is not, how i want it
but to make a change you gotta make something drastic
Chorus
i don't know why it works, and i
feel that this life does have it's perks
but my interest is not here, try this
hey! i don't know why it works
i got excess hair on my head, cut it off
i got excess fat on my body, cut it off
i got excess love for you baby, and it's just enough to make a person crazy
'till this world is just how we want it
Chorus
i don't know why but it works
Chorus
i don't know why it works, but it works
i don't know why it works
i don't know why but it works
i don't know why it works, but it works
why don't you go and try it out

Miracle Eyes - title
Life as a Concept
Is a disaster
Miracle wanes when we tried!
And your adopted
You ask why
With miracle eyes!
Chorus
Miracle Eyes
Miracle eyes
(light a) Marigold way when we try,
You got it goin on inside
I love her so much, but
Denied babies
Miracle wanes when we tried!
And life is hard-earned
But we will make it
With miracle eyes!
(Chorus)
And life is good enough to conceive in
In time, you may not laugh it all and start grieving
In time, They’ll tell ya that is dumb and naive
But would it prove them right to believe in,
Living, on the fly
(chorus inverted)
And in summation
…We must keep moving or die
Cause we are here in the days of our lives!
Choose not to dwell on, the dark…
You got it, u got it, u caught a glimpse of
(chorus)

Well you know my name
Now can we just get this started
If you could keep me outta that pourin rain
Keep me outta that hurricane
You know I love you to death
But I can’t keep dying for you
If you could keep me outta that pourin rain
Keep me outta that hurricane
chorus
Gonna keep you safe
swear back to god I love ya
Cause I am not a liar
And that you can rely on
Gotta keep me coming back
Take a dig at my darkest soul
Keep me runnin, get me out of that pouring rain
Get me into that turning lane
(instrumental bridge)
(chorus)
Gotta keep me coming back
Take a dig at my darkest soul
Keep me runnin, get me out of that pouring rain
Get me outta that turning lane
Keep me runnin, get me out of that pouring rain
Get me into that turning lane

Crazy On Me - title
The meaning of life is your forte
And grass never grows through your pathway
But hopes and signs only mean much
When placed in the context of our touch
Chorus
I’m about that lucky guy though,
When you go crazy on me x4
Well the sun never sets in the future
Where we live in houses of water
Yes you and I have the same dream
Though kept like a secret it might seem
(chorus)
Don’t tell me it’s fate
Cause we put lots a work in
I cringe when she perks up
“It’s not you, it’s me”
You told me that you are so worthless
I do not think that your worthless
You’ve got self-doubt like we all do
Just don’t act like you love me, unless it’s true
(chorus)

Trump Card - title
Disease of the land is spreading
Our fear of fellow man is growing
Contempt of our love he’s shreading
We fear fellow men….
Woa woa woa woaoooooo x4
The trump card no vote
The trump card no soul
The trump card no joke
The trump card no soul
Disease of the land is spreading
Our fear of fellow man is growing
Contempt of our love he’s spreading
We fear fellow men….
Woa woa woa woaoooooo x4

What had before wasn’t working
Yea and really and and no parliament ain’t perfect
Calamity of thought in his purpose
No common language in their mind
Disease of the land is spreading
Our own fault for trusting, the system
Contempt of our love we know it
Don’t fear fellow men….
Woa woa woa woaoooooo x4
The trump card no vote
The trump card no soul
The trump card no joke
The trump card no soul
Disease of the land is spreading
Our fear of fellow man is growing
Contempt of our love he’s spreading
We fear fellow men….

Heavy Heart - title
It’s thrilling I know
Your bad production, it never falters
It’s telling I know
Suggest a skydive, right as we break up
A heavy heart will not help you in space
Forever floating up
Another blues song I never can make
upon looking downward
It’s chilling I know, chilling I know
We have been jettisoned, right out the window
It’s killing me now
The lack of oxygen, up in the stratosphere
A heavy heart will not help you in space
Forever floating up
That Husker Du song I never could make
I tell ya, need booster rockets…..to get down
Jack and Jane died on Halloween
And ill never forget it
In a plane crash on hallows eve
And he didn’t regret it
Jack and Jane died on Halloween
And ill never forget it
In a plane crash on hallows eve
And he didn’t regret it
She says my heart isn’t tailored that way
I wanna love you, but I can’t
Oh so now his heart, ever floating in space
I tell ya, need booster rockets…..now
Your bad production
Your bad production
Your bad production
I’ve always loved it

It’s under my control,

Purgatory Explained
What is the Shepard’s bowl
who askes
Nobody cares anyway
Chorus
It probably used to be that
Nothing would ever change
It probably used to be but
I don’t abide that way cause
Its not like it used to be where
Id turn around let it go
It probably used to be but
I am now in control
It’s under my control,
Not yet

What is the Shepard’s bowl
who askes
Nobody cares anyway

So pull that ark
Up that hill
Near as I can tell
Turns out you likely will fail
Tote that barge
Lift that bail
Hopeful yet
Thing is you probably will fail
