I think I'll close my eyes and wait as the world goes by.
Won't see the
same old thing it's out there everywhere.
The thousand wishes I have
had in my life come true.
After they are gone I say, "what did I do
that for?"
I see I see I see. This world going in circles
around all around me.
I'll
end up mad before life is through with me.
Guilty old me.
I think I'll pay my dues and drive real fast to stand in
line.
Then I'll
wrack my brains to find some chaos.
As the image forms I'll let it
swallow up my mind.
Time will pass I'll ask myself "This is a joke,
right?"
Thinking, thinking thoughtless but it sometimes seems.
Think too much, too hard and it confuses me.
Rectify myself to all the things I thought were real
or I'll lock the bedroom door and simply stay at home
Sister
When I need a place to get away,
When I need a place to hide,
That place just seems oh so far away,
Couldn't get there if I tried.
Me and a young girl chasing mosquitoes,
Rolling down them grassy hills.
Put up a sign that said "No Vacancy",
Forget the world let time stand still
I take a train sister, a bus a brooking down Cheavy,
or a plane. I’d walk my sister just to see you there,
Just to see you again.
If I could think back and see this thing clearly,
If I could just remember when.
Of all the things I hold so dear to me,
I miss the people we were then.
And it seems that you were always there.
Like no one else you stood by me.
When you picked me up and cleaned me off,
Saw what not one else could see.
Pete Beat
As far as I can see. Walking, walking, walking,
away from me. And for all I know.
Demeanor gives it all away. Talking, talking,
right over me. And for all I know.
Loosing it, getting older. Stay the same yet
older. You don't get it like I do I heard that,
yeah that's what you said. Loosing it getting older.
Please take me far away. I don’t know what to do.
I don't know where to go anymore best you just walk
on by.
Feeling strange these days it true, creeping up
from behind but let’s just not jump off the
bridge. Best you just walk on by.
Loosing it, it’s gotten cold outside. I’m heading
back you know I said goodnight. You don’t get it
like I do I heard that yeah that’s
what you said losing it getting older.
It’ll find me…
He's Stayin
Talk in sign, say something new
Talk in circles, nothing better to do
Message camouflage - same dead end
Please say just what he’s saying
He ain’t my friend.
Found him but in a world that’s not his own
A world he’d hidden pretty well
Kicked up some stones and pulled some earth
He’s stayin….He’s stayin there
From a pile of modeling clay, he will build
Fasnioned in the likeness, of himself
Message camoflage same dead end
Please say just what he’s saying
He ain’t my friend.
Ready made and personas taken in
He got it the quick and easy way
As insidious as before - he’s stayin…
Love is love is not his own
Clear Blue Water
Cast OUT on clear blue water
Saw nothing out there at all at all
Picture a scene across to the other side
Saw nothing out there at all
Pack up some scant posessions
For this trip you’ll take to find
what’s right in front of you
So you’ll need some help on well goodluck
good bye…
Take a look around you can’t you see
walls are closing in
"I can’t breathe" you say
So it goes. So far like taking flight
Near perfect, it feels like
Spoon fed, It’s like bliss.
It’s waning in and out and it
takes the air out like a centrifuge
Never Tell
Well I stepped off the train just the other day
I swore that I saw you
A younger man, a stronger man, but certainly the man
That you were at one time.
He stepped out of the station and into the sun
Thought that for sure
He would be meeting someone he would be meeting someone
Possibly the girl that he’d marry.
I thought at the time that I’d warn him
Of all that was to come
Since he’d commit the damage he’d do
And all along he was out on
Didn’t do it but I wanted to
It’s time once again to revive some old some new
If you don’t mind that it’s all the same
I’ll never tell you.
If seem to to fade in, if you seem to fade out
Take no mind, I don’t mind.
