Some Songs
1. An Introduction
Instrumental
2. Fancy Pants
I thought I knew you.Just tell me that I’m beautiful and we can be friends.
And now my bones break
From all of you words.
And now my bones ache
From this spinning world.
And now my bones break
From the pressure applied.
And now my bones break
From the words that you hide.
Just tell me that I’m beautiful and we can be friends.
3. Nightmare Ladies and the One I Love
Wake from your heartache.
I tried so many times
To tell you what’s inside
In a line or a silly poem
Or when I had you alone.
And I know that I’m contrived
when I use words to justify
All of these whats and whys,
I think that I could just die.
This is the reason we live
Don’t let anybody kid.
Audience go shake your head.
I think I’ll go ahead.
Wake from your heartache.
You took me into your heart and into the trees.
Will you stay with me?
We’ll build a fire to burn this town,
and we’ll ride out to never be found.
They’ll never come after us.
We’ll float away on some magic bus.
Will you come with me?
Hurry. Swiftly.
Please come with me.
Say you will.
Wake from your heartache.
4. Cloud
I liked the way
You fell down the stairs.
It reminded me
Of a movie I once saw.
You were always there
When I needed someone to listen.
… Made me smile.
Today I saw the rain
Fall down so hard.
It was so beautiful.
You should have been there.
Now my belly growls
For food and love.
I still sing pointless songs.
I’d like to climb a mountain
To sing to the sky.
I’d sing a song for you,
For you and I.
I’d ask the clouds
To come on down
And take us away.
5. 05
Snow drifts down
from the dull, dark clouds
and it’s only me
on this lonely walk.
The night pours out
from every inch
that I see
And it swallows me.
I’ve never been one for conversation,
But you bring the best out in me.
Now when the snow falls down
I think of you dressed in blue.
O, what’s a boy to do?
Too cute to be common
and too clever to ignore.
O, how you make my head spin.
I’ve never been one for conversation,
But you bring the best out in me.
I can fall down. I can lash out,
And you’re there to save me.
You’re there to save me.
6. That They
Today I awoke
to a different body
I wasn’t feeling quite myself.
I am still haunted
by those days in December
When the wind was cold enough
to freeze your heart.
I stood above you
all alone,
and I thought to myself
I need you.
I sing for the sinners,
and I sing for the saints.
What a deadly combination.
It makes me want to faint.
But if they all got together
and decided to play cards,
I think that they would see that
they are not that far apart.
I will never forget
where I came from,
But I have no idea
where I’m going.
I can only hope
that my feet will stick
to this ground
As the world spins
round and round.
I sing for the sinners,
and I sing for the saints.
What a deadly combination.
It makes me want to faint.
But if they all got together
and decided to play cards,
I think that they would see that
they are not that far apart.
7. Here it is, Folks
The times they are a-changing,
And I am changing too.
The people are rearranging,
And I don’t know what to do.
The words that I have tried to find
To express my state are lost.
So I float on by with a smile inside
And a mind that’s like a wall.
I’m trying
To keep my head
Up above the clouds.
To roll past the
Green pastures
And sing out loud.
Now my feet beg me,
“Please somewhere unknown.”
My bags are packed and ready,
And I am ready to go.
Time to say goodbye
To the ones I love.
I’m sorry it’s like this,
But I have my ticket,
And the train is about to blow.
I’m trying
To keep my ahead
Up above the clouds.
To roll past
The green pastures
And sing out loud.
8. I’m all out of…
I tried to be a friend to you.
I tried to not let you down.
But you keep going on your way.
(Yes, you keep going on.)
The sun is coming up today,
And I feel inflatable.
9. 3 and a 4 ok ok
The call, the call that you let out
When you were there just waiting there
And everyone was singing loud
And you were there being proud
Around, around the Christmas tree
You dance with me and laugh with me
We fall apart into the floor
We fall apart and are no more
I’m too busy thinking now
That I was the cause
For all your pain I’m sorry, babe.
I promise I will behave
And here it is the end of the cliff.
So I’ll move out and fall down.
10. Lost at Sea
Lost at sea for too many days
Floating on this big blue maze
All alone with these thoughts in my head
You don’t know if I’m alive or dead
I left you for the sea so long ago
I can say that that was a big mistake
Rocking back and forth every night
I look for land but it’s not in sight.
When I sleep I dream of you
And I hope that my dreams come true
I can see us holding hands
Laughing loudly and making plans
I wish I were on solid ground
No more rocking, no more rolling around
But all I have is the deep blue sea,
And it’s constantly laughing at me
It knows I’m tired. Yes, it knows I’m dead.
All I want to do is go to bed.
Back to my dreams that keep me company.
Back to thoughts that make me happy.
All I want to do is to go to bed.
All I want to do is to go to sleep.
All I want to do is to dream of you.

Five Songs
1. Falling Thru the Now
The world is burning,
And I can’t seem to get away.
My feet are falling from the things
That you constantly say.
I feel it inside my hands now
Something I never had.
You are the one to be me.
I cannot be around.
Subconscious subduing me.
I feel it inside my skull.
Each step I take is tattered.
How am I here at all?
Here I am.
2. Movable Music
There’s some stars in my eyes,
but that comes as no surprise.
Wounds that bloom on my skin
burst into flaming fins.
I’m feeling down, so down.
Can’t move or get around.
Heat so hot it burns my teeth.
Melt into a golden wreath.
Place it upon your holy head.
Sleep with it in your bed.
Pederastic priests are dancing
in the street they’re late romancing.
I’m feeling down, so down.
Can’t move or get around.
Spiders crawl from your nose.
Next stop to no one knows.
I can’t take your plastic ways.
I let you go to fly away.
I’m feeling down, so down.
Can’t move or get around.
3. In the Sun
The words you say to me my friend
Don’t make sense when I look at them.
But I still try to make amends
And think that we’ll come out in the end.
Ahead of the times you think
We’re made of tin like a kitchen sink
To fall, to live, to die, to love.
Which one is it or all of the above?
A beard she grows under the light
Don’t make sense, but it’s allright
And you don’t like my words of glee
Angry at me I’m happy
But we can try to hold our tongues
Don’t drop yours on to the rug
A laugh, a wink, a fist, a smile.
Take your coat off stay a while.
Where is your sunshine?
4. Lizard Love
My sad, brown shoes
Collect dust in your room
Where we danced and once cried
Thinking of each other’s lies.
I can’t move now from this rock
Called curling tongue and Lizard Love.
When I woke up
Angel-eyed on the floor
(I was) Drunk from the kisses
You gave to him in his yard
On a day when suns burnt brightly, sadly
Singing to the one I love.
I can’t loose you now.
I can’t say goodbye.
Now that I’m wrong
(My) Splintered soul (is) on the rug
Chasing all of the dreams
That we sowed in the seams
Of our glowing lights up in the sky
That burnt and banged into the night.
When your eyes pumped
Perfect blue across the room
I caught ill from the sight
Of your mind touching mine
In a cloud of cliché teenage poems
With verbs that do no bring it home.
I can’t loose you now.
I can’t say goodbye.
5. Trying Your Best
It would be nice if my brother didn’t have to lie.
It would be nice if we didn’t have to say goodbye.
It would be nice if mama told me not to play with fire.
It would be nice if my heart was open for hire.
It would be nice if my bones were still operating.
It would be nice if my mind was cooperating.
When I die I don’t think that I’ll talk to you.
When I die I want my soul to be shampooed.
How many moons until I can be just who I want?
How many moons until I can’t shake the final jaunt?
Now listen to me I don’t mean to be preoccupied.
I was just thinking, and this is what my brain did cry.
But the birds are still singing.
Outside my heart beats with every street.
That alone gives me reason to smile
For just one moment in the sun.
Five More Songs
1. Evening News
I don’t know why you sing the blues.
Could it be your head or the evening news?
Well I’ve got to know which way to go from here.
Could I help you out with a hand or a hug?
Could I be your friend and show you love?
Will the story end with a kiss or a death?
Will you take my hand or breath your final breathe?
2. Dream Sequence With An Alien
Dear, alien, please take my hand
Though you are green and I am white.
I believe in love at first sight.
I want you now to be my bride.
We’ll live on Mars
And drive fancy cars.
Many eggs hatch
Children grow up
Please alien will you sing me a song?
I don’t know where you’re from
But I want you to stay
With me now as I fall into your hands.
3. Cloudy Thump Dance
Rocks are falling all around.
You can’t bite the headaches.
I’m still waiting to make time.
Throw a penny for a dime.
All the pants are broken.
Collars bloom when they sleep.
I can’t shake this cold cough.
Die in sleep from a bite
All my doors are open
Slip yourself into my house
Light a fire broken
Everything again
Hole in head is growing
Pour myself right into you
Cut fingers and they are smoking
Drink beer belly growing
Turn the page
I can’t nine to five or six.
Now I think I hate these words.
All my doors are open
Slip yourself into my house
Light a fire broken
Everything again
Rocks are falling all around
You can’t bite the headaches
I’m still waiting to make time
Throw a penny for a dime
All my doors are open.
Slip yourself into my house.
Light a fire broken
Everything again
4. A Sick Gum Chewing Genius
If my fingernails were strong
Then I would surely scratch the sky
Each and every star up there would fall
And then the world would cry
Languid lyrics linger in this
Lethargic loophole of mine.
Shanks keep shaking can’t stop shaking
In this corner I’ll spend my time.
I can’t get through to you
Cold clouds crowd everything
I guess I can play the possum
And I can get away with it
Cower under the covers
and wait until the rockets hit
Hang me out to dry
I can’t get through to you
Cold clouds crowd everything
I’ve just about given up.
And it’s time my voice gives out.
5. Fantasy Stretch
When I was younger so long ago
I used to run I used to follow
Then I got older and lost my head
The world was round and I was dead
Soon I kept quiet and watched the waves
I watched them die and I was raised
From the sordid segments of a sunburn soul
I found nothing, and I was whole.
Waves keep coming, and I can’t breathe.
I’m dying to find some energy.
Sick of scrofulous monotony.
Wake up!
Dogs like men keep marching on
Into the dark and into the dawn.
No time to rest until we’re dead.
Move on!
I can’t take the headaches.
Birthday cakes, broken glass.
Your namesake on my chest plate
Means that you are my lass.

1. The Bathroom Song
Instrumental
2. Ambulances and Starships
I know that you love me
But you hurt me when you want me to be
Someone else than my self
Because that’s all I want to be
O can’t you see that I need to be
Free from all the chains holding me down?
Listen to me, will you please?
I promise that I’ll try to please
If you just let me
Be the way that I want to be.
Listen to me will you please?
I promise that I’ll try to please
If you let me be my way
I promise that we’ll be together forever.
I know that you do mean well,
But I think that I need a star ship,
So I can fly away to a distant planet
Where I can be alone and sit on the rocks
And just cry about anything that I’d like.
3. Wolf Chomp
Instrumental
4. Song Loathing
Did you want to let go?
Did you want to step back?
Did you think that things were okay?
Did you want to relax?
Did you want to take a pill?
Did you want to sleep the day away?
Well I’ve got plans and money
Plenty places to hide, a new haircut,
Some shoes, and lots of time
Everyone that I meet
will fall under my spell
As I sing and dance
they’ll all clap and yell
Too bad that they’re fake
too bad that they’re dead
And I’m stuck with this
stupid song in my head
5. It could be better, It could be worse
I don’t want to move
From this hole I dug up under you
Because it feels good to be by myself
With no one else around.
When the sun shines
I will duck my head and go behind
A rock where it is dark and damp
And I can be alone.
If you come upon my sad hole
You best turn around and run off
Because I’ll pinch your face
With my great big claw.
I like to roll around in the dirt when
There’s no one else around.
Not a sound creeps out from anywhere,
And I can be happy.
I don’t want to move
From this hole I dug up under you
Because it feels good to be by myself
With no one else around.
6. With Eyes Closed
Instrumental
7. Be Careful
Instrumental
8. Who Needs?
Too many times, too many times we yell.
Too many times it stinks like hell.
Too many times I hear the same sad song.
Too many times I’m the one who’s wrong.
Too many times I wake up in the night
Too many times I don’t feel all right.
Too many times, too many times we yell
Too many times it stinks like hell.
9. Commercial Music
This is my movie,
And it’s staring you.
And I must say
That the roles you play
Really flip my lid.
Commercial music
For my inflated soul
And your job now
Is to knock it down.
The sky is falling
Down on my head.
Commercial music
for my punctured soul
10. The Ballroom
I was surrounded by concrete.
It tasted secure.
I used to play in my bare feet,
But not anymore
It started with the chemicals
That seeped into my lungs
Inhale some smoke and choke
I moved away from the shapes
with my glasses and my hair.
This place of grass
will be my new home now.
I sat in doors.
I had no reason
To smell the sun.
And I waited.
11. Elephant Dance Song
Instrumental
12. Flip Flop

13. James Blonde
Instrumental
14. Water Fall Music/ Red Ford Bronco
I’ll let you drive
My red Ford Bronco
If you promise
To return it to me
At the proper time.
Then we will go
To the movies.
We will laugh
And eat the popcorn
from the floor.
I really, really wish
You didn’t have a gun.

Don’t move just be with me.
Do you want to dance with me?
5. Johnny Smith
Where did you go?
I want to know right now.
And why did you go last night?
Let me know.
And who were you with?
Was it that kid, Johnny Smith?
Don’t you know I hate him so?
And I don’t know
Where to go
Now that you’re gone.
I try to find a way
To move to you.
Yes, it’s you I want to see
On TV at 7 o’clock.
But Johnny Smith,
He’s a bitch.
And he’s no good
For you my girl.
Don’t you know?
6. What Not To Say
I was right.
You were wrong,
But you still sing
That same sad song
Of yesterday.
Please grow up
And please improve
This lackluster attitude
Toward everything.
It’s not that bad.
It’s kind of nice
If you would only
Open up your eyes
And take a look.
Was I too harsh
With my advice?
Well how about I apologize
For the wrong I did?
It’s kind of hard
To keep your cool
When the ship that you sail
Is sinking into the blue.
You say that you’ve got
Everything wrapped up
In your arms
And you can’t let go.
The weight that you hold
Is starting to break and bulge
And you’ve lost control.
7. Laughing Love
Love keeps me wondering.
Love keeps me wondering.
Love keeps me wondering.
But it’s love that kills you In the end.
Love keeps my heart ticking.
Love keeps my heart ticking.
Love keeps my heart ticking.
But it’s love that kills you in the end.
Love fills my life with joy.
Love fills my life with joy.
But it’s love that kills you in the end.
Love, Love, Love
Love will kill you in the end.

Dee Dee, O Dee Dee,
Why don’t you talk to me?
What did I do to you?
You don’t even know my name.
Do you know I’m there?
Do you even care?
2. Love You
Sometimes love hits you in the mouth.
Sometimes love hits you and knocks you down
Like a ton of bricks lying on your finger tips.
It cuts circulation until you cannot feel.
I’m searching for stars I can’t find.
You are the mountain I can’t climb.
Sometimes time keeps moving without me.
Sometimes time keeps making a fool out of me.
But time is just a word we place upon the absurd
Moments of the day that keep us hanging on.
I’m searching for stars I can’t find.
You are the mountain I can’t climb.
3. Campfire Song
I was a dog.
I was a boy.
I was an angel
In your arms.
I was a dog.
I was a boy.
I was a showoff
In your arms.
The sky keeps
Falling down on me.
Keeps looking at me.
And I don’t know what to say.
4. Sad Song
I can’t remember you
Now that I am getting old.
Nineteen years and I still don’t know
Where it is you lie in the ground.
The family talks about you
Like their wounds are really healed,
But deep down no cut will ever shut.
That’s why I cry when I think of you.
I will stay awake for you
If you decide to come on home.
Will you ever think of me
Like I think of you?
And if you do what will you say
About the person that I have become?
Life may be death and death may be life.
This is clear to me sometimes.
I will stay awake for you
If you decide to come on home.
5. Jesus is an American Superhero or Jesus is a White American
O, Jesus!
It’s just a name I found in a book,
But the look that it gives could kill.
He is a son, and he is a man
Sent from somewhere far away to save this land.
They asked me if I believed in a man.
But he’s a savior.And he’ll save you.
So keep him in you heart.
Lock him up tight.
You’ll find him in the cabinet
when you wake up at night
And you’re hungry
For something real.
They asked me if I believed in a man,
But he’s a savior. And he’ll save you.
6. Love is Like (The Fish Song)
Love is like a fish with wings flying over
All of the birds that sing in the sky
I am like a little boy playing grown up
When I am all alone I cry
All I do is bang my head against the wall
I try to pretend that I’m fine, but I know.
I need you to comfort me.
Please hold my hand, and let me cry.
If I could stop playing games then I think
That I could be the person that I want to be.
But what the hell does that mean? I don’t know.
I’m talking to myself again, and it’s great.
I need you to comfort me.
Please hold my hand, and let me cry.

Are you breathing?
Can you hear me?
Soul so restless
Mind so thoughtless
Where do we go
From this hole we
Dug so deeply?
Can’t we break free?
Yes, I love you,
But I’m hurting.
So I let go,
And turn off my mind.
There’s nothing
That we can hope for
But a peaceful death
to take us.
No, that’s not right.
Something’s wrong here.
Can’t we stop
This machine from ticking?
Words don’t matter
When you’re sick, dear.
Let’s lie down now.
It is coming.

Chérie, won’t you wait for me?
Chérie, won’t you wait for me?
It’s not that I don’t want
You by my side.
Believe me that I need you
With these tears in my eyes.
Chérie, won’t you wait for me?
It’s not that I don’t need
You in my life.
It’s just that I don’t know
What to do at night.
These dreams they keep on pouring
Into my head.
O, Chérie, baby, won’t you
Come on back to bed?
2. Choo
If you want me to stick around, I will.
O, I really want you. O, I really want you.
If you want me to walk around with you, I will.
O, I really want you. O, I really want you.
If you want to go somewhere, I will with you.
O, I really want you. O, I really want you.
If you need a friend to hold your hand, I will.
O, I really want you. O, I really want you.
Whatever it is you want,
Whatever it is just call on me.
If you want to talk it out, I will.
O, I really want you. O, I really want you.
Let me show you how I talk to the sky. Watch me.
O, I really want you. O, I really want you.
Now lets not let life just pass us by. No.
O, I really want you. O, I really want you.
Grades are nothing but numbers you leave behind.
O, I really want you. O, I really want you.
If you stare long enough at the sky, you’ll see
O, I really want you. O, I really want you.
The great big naked eye that hangs over me and you.
O, I really want you. O, I really want you.
I really want you to be happy.
3. Untitled Song
Live your life
Like you know
You’re gonna die.
This is the only truth I know.
One day my body will decompose,
And I will be nothing but static.
And I will be nothing but sound.
I will be beneath the ground.
This is a call
To take back your time.
Discover your mind
And be still for one minute.
Maybe for a minute
You will remember
You’re just an animal
Worrying about time.
Why worry about the world?
Instead just change it.
Why worry about the world
when it’s yours and mine?
It’s going to be fine.
It’s going to be fine.
That is why when I walk
Through the halls with wet eyes
I am really smiling inside
Because I realize we all die.
And each wind that blows
Upon my face
Is a feeling not forgotten
Because feelings I don’t waste.
Live your life
Like you know
You’re gonna die.
This is the only truth I know.
One day my body will decompose,
And I will be nothing but static.
And I will be nothing but sound.
I will be beneath the ground.

The ants are fine. My eyes are open.
The moon is bright. My mind’s unbroken.
My love is clear when you are near me.

Keep your eyes fixed on mother.
3. New Age Love Song
I think that you and I can be friends.
I think that you can write my favorite song.
The one about the little boy and girl
Who love each other and love the world.
It’s called Love.
Love, sweet Love.
Once I was broken,
But your love repaired me.
It warmed me within,
And I thank you again and again.
Your face, like a cloud,
Is a dream that goes floating
Through my mind each second.
Your beauty, it takes me far away.
Your green eyes are like mountains,
So large and unsurpassable
In their beauty. It’s frightening.
It’s unreal.
I’m losing the words
To describe all my feelings.
My language is broken
I’m dreaming of your love.
Your love.
4. The Sound of the Fury
If modern man can’t stand
To finish the final act,
Then what reason is there
To follow through?
The hope that Jesus holds
For the hopeless doesn’t mean a thing.
What’s the use of having him around
when he cannot speak his mind?
She’s seen the beginning.
She’s sees the end.
She’s gonna be there
To clean it all up
When it comes
We all get
What we deserve
Even if we have to take it
From the ones that hurt.
My shadow.
Time keeps ticking.
Keeps laughing at me.
It makes me want to fall
To meet my shadow.
