TV SONG
Sitting here watching TV
Don’t really know what’s on
Silly screen staring back at me
Body’s here but my mind is gone
I’ve got nothing to do
Really wanna be with you
But you don’t wanna be with me
I guess I’ll stay here and watch TV
Saw you again today
You came and said hello to me
Shot of hope comes my way
Why am I here watching TV
I’ve got nothing to do
Really wanna be with you
But you don’t wanna be with me
I guess I’ll stay here and watch TV
But my dreams would come true
If only only I could be with you
Sitting here watching TV
Don’t really know what’s on
Silly screen staring back at me
Body’s here but my mind is gone
I’ve got nothing to do
Really wanna be with you
But you don’t wanna be with me
I guess I’ll stay here and watch TV
I guess I’ll stay here and watch TV

Kristina Marie
I felt my heart beat for the first time
I laid eyes on you
My head exploded, I was dazed and confused
I didn’t know what to do
So I tried to play it cool
‘Cause you were so young and beautiful
I could help but gravitate toward you
I couldn’t escape your pull
Kristina Marie
What are you doing to me?
Girl, you know you make me
Crazy
Kristina Marie
I couldn’t believe I’d been so lucky
You wanted to be with me too
You kissed me I felt like I’d been hit by lightening
Surprised me like a bolt from the blue
When I came back for you
You decided to take a chance on me
You tore down the bars around my heart
Set my passion free
Kristina Marie
What are you doing to me?
Girl, you know you make me
Crazy
Kristina Marie
I hope I’m not dreaming
Waking next to you is so perfect
Wanna keep these moments: a mental tattoo
Though I don’t even know my right from left
Kristina Marie
What are you doing to me?
Girl, you know you make me
Crazy
Kristina Marie

Cicada Song
I heard cicadas outside her window
Singing their plaintive song
Their short lives remindin’ me
Nothing ever lasts for long
What is this We have between us?
Just lovin’ with no strings
Maybe it’s more than that
But she doesn’t like to put labels on things
A summer fling was what it was
To be and nothing more
Neither of us realized
What our hearts had in store
What is this We have between us?
Just lovin’ with no strings
Maybe it’s more than that
But she doesn’t like to put labels on things
Now it’s gone too far
Cicada song is fading
Our time is up she’s leavin’ town
Nothin’ to keep her waiting
What is this We have between us?
Just lovin’ with no strings
Maybe it’s more than that
But she doesn’t like to put labels on things

Keep Me In The Dark

Keep Me in the Dark
I won’t ask why you’re taking off
You’ll just say “It’s me not you.”
That’s the world’s phoniest line
And we both know it isn’t true
I appreciate it anyway
‘Cause I don’t wanna know
All the many reasons why
You’re letting me go
Keep me in the dark
I don’t wanna know your reasons
Keep me in the dark
All I’ll know is that you’re leavin’
Some people just have to know
Where everything went wrong
Think they’ll learn from their mistakes
And it’ll make then strong
But I prefer my ignorance
As the saying goes, it’s bliss
Hearing why you’ve cut me loose
Is something I can stand to miss
Keep me in the dark
I don’t wanna know your reasons
Keep me in the dark
All I’ll know is that you’re leavin’
I’ve got enough self-doubt now
To last me all my days
I’m better off to let our
Break-Up remain a haze
I don’t need to hear you list
All my flaws and faults
My heart just can’t stand that kind
Of harsh verbal assault
Keep me in the dark
I don’t wanna know your reasons
Keep me in the dark
All I’ll know is that you’re leavin’

Perfect Thing

Perfect Thing
Perfect little couple in a perfect little tree
Perfectly happy k-i-s-s-i-n-g
Of thee I sing
Perfect little love and perfect little marriage
Perfect little baby in a perfect baby carriage rolling by
Is why I cry
If we could find one perfect thing in this world
Maybe
We could all be happy little boys and girls
Easy
Perfect little sheep in perfect little fields
Perfect evil wolves swoop in to make a perfect steal
What a deal
Perfect little hopes and perfect little dreams
Perfect little hearts busted apart at perfect seams
Of thee I scream
If we could find one perfect thing in this world
Maybe
We could all be happy little boys and girls
Easy
If we could find one perfect thing in this world
Maybe
We could all be happy little boys and girls
Easy
Ah, that’s just perfect

Hidden Meaning

Hidden Meaning
In this most secret of places
Listen to the howling wind
Overturned, forgotten faces
Veiled by sand, wait for the end
Even stone can be worn down
Yellow sun and sandstorm’s force
Obscure the grandeur, drive to ground
Underneath the desert’s source
While we think we’re so important
Here we’re all just specks of dust
Yearning for significance
Why? I love you
Why? I hate you
Why?
In the jungle dark and green
Heat and water wage a war
As steam rises – forest dreams
To still the cutting evermore
Earth takes back what man desires
Yawning cauldron, island forge
Onyx beach – volcanic fires
Unstoppable molten purge
While we think we’re so important
Here we’re all just specks of dust
Yearning for significance

Van Gogh's Ear

Van Gogh’s Ear
I zipped down a zipper that ran down the center of my forehead
Laughed to feel the ape suit peel away
Stepped out of my skin to show the pain within (there goes innocence betrayed, poor boy)
Wrinkled and slimy like a changeling
But I still got these wires stuck in my head
That make me do those same old lines again and again
I play my cocaine role to the hilt
But I can’t shake the grief, the rage and the guilt
That soldered my character to me
I’d like to take this golden opportunity
To welcome all of you to our team, you know
Our candidates are selected most judiciously
We’ll only take you if you’re breathing, so keep
Breathing, keep breathing, keep
Breathing, keep breathing
I’d like to emphasize that knowledge is power
You plant the seed of your own fear
My buddy Vincent must have felt pretty stupid
The morning after he cut off his ear, so keep
Breathing, keep breathing, keep
Breathing, keep breathing
We’d like to thank our indistinguished guest speaker
And issue everyone their badge, there you go
This concludes our company disorientation
You’re hired with benefits for life, so keep
Breathing, keep breathing, keep
Breathing, keep breathing
So why exhaust myself with thinking so much
When trying to stand on my own becomes a crutch
What’s the point of getting wise to the machine
It doesn’t help me break out of the subroutine
It doesn’t help me break out
It doesn’t help me break out
It doesn’t help me break out
It doesn’t help me break out

Peacemaker

Peacemaker
I don’t wanna fight you anymore
I just want everything to stop
But you always have to battle on
Until you come out on top
I'm so tired of giving in
To end the arguments
Like a casualty of war
My heart's torn and bent
So I’m the Peacemaker
(Don’t disturb the peace)
Peacemaker
(Hostilities must cease)
Peacemaker
Can I find release?
Can we put all of this arguing
And all of this conflict to an end?
Don’t you know I’ve tried to respect you?
Can’t you see that I’m your best friend?
You constantly get your way
Always have the last word
Clashing over trivial things
The scene is so absurd
So I’m the Peacemaker
(Don’t disturb the peace)
Peacemaker
(Hostilities must cease)
Peacemaker
Can I find release?
I know I can’t give you what you want
You want a surrender
I offer détente
We have got to come to an accord
My soul’s got a price that
You can not afford
So I’m the Peacemaker
(Don’t disturb the peace)
Peacemaker
(Hostilities must cease)
Peacemaker
Can I find release?
If the time has come for us to part
Why don’t we try to make amends
If it’s fate we have to separate
I wonder if we can be friends
I would like for us to be
But I still have my doubts
Fire to fight’s inside of you
And it must be let out
So I’m the Peacemaker
(Don’t disturb the peace)
Peacemaker
(Hostilities must cease)
Peacemaker
Can I find release?
Can I find release?

Lethe’s Water
I had such big plans for us
Now I’m so let down
Things didn’t work out right,
I feel like a clown
Why’d I get my hopes so high?
I fell for you too fast
Should have figured from the start
That it wouldn’t last
I wish I could forget you,
Wish I could move on
Because any chance of a
Romance ‘tween us is gone
I want to drink the waters of the river Lethe
Purge the sadness, ease the pain, and set my soul free
Waters take me back to the time before we met
River Lethe, please help me to forget
Mystic waters cleanse my mind,
Clear my memory of your stain
Can’t eat, or sleep, or anything,
Your presence burns my brain
We could have been great together;
You must have felt it too
Did you find me demanding?
Did you think I would hurt you?
You couldn’t be more wrong
Your happiness was my desire
Lethe escape you banks, let your
Waters quench this fire
River Lethe, please help me to forget
To forget

Down to Earth
I love to take her camping; she’s a down to earth girl
She likes to spread a blanket, forget about the world
She communed with nature before it was a fad
She worships Gaea pagan-style, beneath the moon sky-clad
She takes me down to earth
She’s a lover of the land
Let’s get down to earth
Feel the soil beneath our hands
The forest is her bedroom, oak leaves form her bed
Summons Cerenunnos, but gets me instead
Visit her woodland garden, offer up my seed
Planting is her greatest joy: fulfils organic need
She takes me down to earth
She’s a lover of the land
Let’s get down to earth
Feel the soil beneath our hands
She’s the avatar of mother earth; her flower is love’s center
Fall to my knees in absolution, her temple bids me enter
She takes me down to earth
She’s a lover of the land
Let’s get down to earth
Feel the soil beneath our hands
She takes me down to earth
She’s a lover of the land
Let’s get down to earth
Feel the soil beneath our hands

RELY
My mind’s cramped up, my mouth’s all dry
When I first heard your voice, thought I heard the angels cry
You’re so beautiful, you put me off my game
But I moved a mountain range just to learn your name
Girl we belong together, girl yes I wanna try
Girl we should be together, on that you can rely
Nah Nah Nah Nana Nah Nah
Sitting here by the phone, aching for you to call
Waiting for the numbers to light up, hoping, wishing you don’t stall
Another night’s gone by, haven’t heard from you
Maybe I should dial your number, yeah that’s what I’m gonna do
Girl we belong together, girl yes I wanna try
Girl we should be together, on that you can rely
Nah Nah Nah Nana Nah Nah
My hands are shaking, there’s something in my eye
Now that you’ve called me up, thought I heard the angels sigh…
Nah Nah Nah Nana Nah Nah
