Live and Unreleased - 2002 - 2005

Distracted


Tomorrow's just a sunset away
California's just a couple of days
The road is clear I wish my mind was the same
Seems these thoughts can't be rearranged
 
I'm a little distracted
Running with shadows
A little distracted
Living in windows
 
The wind has learned the way of the sea
But the red cloud's the same and it waits for me
The road is clear I wish my thoughts were the same
Seems you just won't go away
 
Chorus
 
Tomorrow's just a sip away
California's floating today
What is clear and what is insane
Seem to meet somewhere in your name
 
Chorus
 


Six Days

Blue lights on the blackboard
From staring at the sun
There's always another oncoming car
When you're on the run

Take one last step
From off this pier
You better hope you see the bottom
As you disappear

Ah ah like a homemade god
You can't see what you are
What you are

Hey I'm your friend for life
That's what you said
Then you were gone save your smile
Leaving me for dead
 
Chorus
 
There was never a hold
For me to crawl to
Though I've tried
Hell is you
 
Chorus



Lavender

I see you smiling from here
Through the dawn of the years it's all so clear to me
I wouldn't give it away
All the things that you say for yesterday
 
You are never alone
Someone's thinking of you
You are never alone
Someone's thinking of you
 
Take a ride down the street
And face what you think you need to see
I'll drive if you like
Let you just ride you know I only want you to know
 
Chorus
 
You are the hero
You are the one true key
You are the hero
In whom I believe
 
I see you smiling from here
Through all the fear we're finally home
I wouldn't give it away
No the person you've made is perfection
 
You can change the world
Change your head
To change the world
Change your head
Lavender girl…



Sweet Bird
 

Broken sign in a broken window
I know just how it feels
The wind breaks just for a second
And in this I see your eyes

A loss of thought is your disease
Everyone needs to be free
People without chains on their ankles
People without words to hold them down
It's the healing wing

Fly on sweet bird
Do as you've learned
Fly on sweet bird
Do as you've heard and be free

Just to think about her 
Can send me so far away
It's so hard to leave here sometimes
It's so hard for me to stay
It's the healing wing

Chorus




Autumn

 
Monday morning where's the sun
Aton is late he's not the only one
Misty light surrounded in fog
Peeks in my windshield and takes my pulse again
 
Can I really feel what I feel as real
Do I really see in other terms than me
Is it really me I mean really can it be
I need to walk again
 
I have tried
To change my mind
I have tried
To change my mind
 
So tell me what have we for side effects
My car is cold to the touch there is no gas
The morning sun's still sleeping
The clouds are moving into this empty nest
 
Can I really feel…
 
I have tried…
 
Leaves of brass upon my door
Tarnish set in nature's run her course
Through medium man
Take my pulse again
 
Can I really feel…
 
I have tried…



Ricecakes


Ricecakes and alcohol decorate my windowsill today
Mmm-hmm hmm
Ricecakes and alcohol helps me throw it all away
Mmm-hmm hmm
 
Do you know the feeling when the pain closes your eyes
And all the air slips out of the sky
All the colours you see bleed into one
Nothing is left but nothing is gone
 
Do you know the feeling when you don’t know who you are
Your destinations are all burnt chars
When you’re on the brink of hatred and nothing’s clear
When your hands don’t seem to be real

Chorus

Do you know the feeling when you’re not in control
Everyone’s got you and you don’t know how to fold
They’re sitting in the corner with their white hoods on
Do you ever wonder just when we went wrong
 
Chorus
 
She’s a bird she’s a bird
Free the people Free the people come home
Free the people don’t let them grow old
 
Do you know the feeling when your day rolls down the hill
The thorns are stuck but you feel better still

Chorus

Oh whooo oooh oooh…
Ricecakes and alcohol…



No Song

A sparrow don’t ask is my voice pretty
It just sings its song
Don’t ask when you know the answer
Just sing your song
 
I want you
To take me
By the hand
Baby
Believe me
I’m your man

A tree can grow tall and straight when there’s no wind
Your soul can do the same thing too
In the spring time all the flowers bloom
Every day’s spring in you

Chorus

You can say you’ve been loving
You can say you’ve been kind
You can say you’ve been lonely
You know that’s all in your mind

Chorus

Maybe it’s all the same 
If you believe you can play the game
Maybe it’s all the same
If you believe you can change the game
There’s song then no song
A song once again
There’s song then no song
A song once again
 
Who-hoo wha-hoo…



Blacklight

Do do-do
Do do-do
Do do-do do

I am lit by a black light
You only see the side of me that glows
When the sun is shining
All you see is a ghost
 
Back behind the curtain
I’m being beaten by time
But it ain’t over
Until I die
 
So baby if you wait for me
I will take you home
So baby if you wait for me
I will take you home
 
If you don’t believe me
Just you wait and see
I will take the throne
You’ll know that I am the KING
 
So baby if you wait for me
I will take you home
Baby if you believe in me
I won’t let you go

Do do-do…
 
So baby if you wait for me
I will take you home
Baby if you have faith in me
I will let it show
 
I will take you home
I will take you home
Baby if you wait for me
I will take you home
 
Do do-do…



Wishing Well

What could I say to you
What could I say to you
To take back the things I do

I would do anything for you
I would do it for you
I would do anything for you
Say it and it’ll come true

What could I be to you
What could I be for you
There is nothing I can slip into

Chorus

Bridge

Chorus  



Petition
 
So stand up
Up on your feet
Use your voice
To get you things
You don’t have
Things you should have
 
So don’t waste time
The time is now
Use your voices
To tear things down
And build them back again
 
Well I’m ready to begin
I’m ready to begin
I’m ready to begin
I’m ready to begin

The rain is here
The lights are out
Money's gone
So is the house
And kids
 
Chorus

Bridge
 
So speak up
Up against
Everyone
Who builds that fence
Create tomorrow now now now

Chorus



19
 
You’re in my dreams tonight
I bet you’re not surprised
You must run from mind to mind
I’ve never graced the cover of dream time
 
I light my soul for you
I light my soul for you
 
Your smile is why I sing
Your skin is the melody
BABY my love’s drawn you
It’s everything that’s true
 
I light my soul for you
I light my soul for you
I fly my soul to you
I light my soul for you
 
Hear me out Love time stands still
There’s blood on the tracks of fate
One more kiss Love Heaven’s in you
Long live the night
 
I light my soul for you
I light my soul for you
I light my soul for you
19, 19
 
I light my soul for you
I light my soul for you
19, 19
 
I fly my soul for you
I fly my soul to you
19, 19
19, 19




Mia mi  

There you are in your favorite car
All your friends are in the back
You can’t see it any other way
You just went thru a red light
 
You hear them talking all around you
As though you know what to say
 
It’s so hard to turn away
It’s so hard to face
It’s so hard to turn away
From the mask you parade
 
Shadows on the wall are they yours
You can’t even tell anymore
And this bed is it yours
You only know by the girl
 
You hear her breathing all about you
As though you feel the same way

Chorus
 
Bridge
 
There you are in your favorite car
None of your friends are coming back
You can see it every other way
But it’s so hard to see when the windshield’s smashed
 
You hear them crying all inside you
As though you wanted it this way
 
Chorus
 
It’s so hard
It’s so hard yeah
It’s so hard to turn away
It’s so hard to face
 
Hold on



Any Way You Can
 
Theres a classic breeze in the corner
She knows exactly what she needs
She sees my heart patched up like a dollar
She just picked up off the street
 
Any way you can (4x)
You gotta smile (try to shine)
 
Shes got hair as red as a sunset
She got a smile like one too
She can sing with the angels
She got the heartbeat of the moon

Chorus

Verse Solo

Chorus  



Into the 70’s

Nixon came to town
Amped up Vietnam
Broke into the Watergate
Quit but I am not a crook
 
Oh and Vietnam
Was finally done
Oh the King is dead
Well, let’s open up a discothèque
 
There were Dukes of Hazard
A Little House oh Saturday Night Fevers
I will survive that stairway to Heaven
I’m superstitious but my Roots you can’t deny
 
There were World Trade Centers
Rocky wins it all
It’s live from Saturday Night
Marlon Brando, buy a beetle, 8-tracks, Jimmy Carter,
John Lennon Stays home
 
Onto glory
Down in Miami
The Heart of Rock and Roll is in Cleveland
Just rollin’ on the river
 
Into the 70’s
Into the 70’s
 
With Tom Kent
Tom Kent
Tom Kent
