Chariot

Sunny day
In a chariot
Were they waving back
To you

Losing touch
Not that much
She was running back to you
To you
No more
What you said
Angel’s wings
Time we spent

Nobody knows
How close it will come
The rite of the sands
My heart in your hands

Women chasers
The wives abide
You build a plane to take
A land you divide
Sunny day
In a chariot
Were they waving back to you

The way you chased her
Your cadillac
Back on the coastline
With the sun on his back
Women chasers
The scarlet land
You would be taken
But they’ll all love him back

Sunny day
In a chariot
Were they waving back to you
One last call

Baby
Baby’s havin’ such fun
Baby thinks he’s the one
The one and only exception
But he’ll go down like the rest of them

April comes for one more May
The floor is swept, the clothes are put away
And that’s a day

Have you heard the news
Baby had to choose
Now he’s on the wall
Can you make a judgement call

April comes for one more May
The floor is swept, the clothes are put away
And that’s a day

And that’s a day.

Equal Mind

The silhouette that comes to me
An icy state of infinity
Even in your equal mind
You were passing through this time
Delicate with no defense
You are now what you loved to no end
Perfection in the accident
Truly yours is just what I meant

Equal mind
Equal mind

There is no way you could know
These waves they come and they go
In blooms they’re chasing the lights
Too soon to say these goodbyes

Equal mind
Equal mind

Used To Be

You are coming home, are you still alone,
Are you not the same as you used to be
As the sun grows high and you serve your time,
Does each day just feel like another lie
Now you know, is it just for show,
Just a foolish game that you hide behind
Don’t forget the nights when it all felt right,
Are you not the same as you used to be
Used to be

In an endless night,
Could you feel the fright of an age that was and could never be
So we hold it close when we feel the most like a love that we could not leave behind

Turn the wheel to each way we feel
Til I’m lost and I cannot find you there
Don’t forget the nights when it all felt right,
Are you not the same as you used to be
Used to be

Coming home any day now

White Moon

Down the hill I run so fast
Feel the moon it doesn’t last
Trouble boy unlucky girl
Bring me back into your world

Call your name when you are gone
Long is night before the dawn
Hard to catch the sight of you
Do you want me to want to

White moon beam on my back (x4)

Feel inside, it’s part of you
The animal that is confused
Hard to catch this side of you
Do you want me to want you
Give you half but you want more
Bring me back into your world
Feel inside, it’s part of you
The animal that is confused

White moon beam on your back (x4)

Shadow in the night
I cannot promise you
No one knows where we will go
They never do

To slip beneath the pines
The light is our disguise
They tell us not to
They tell us not to

Shadow in the night
I cannot promise you
No one knows where we will go
They never do

Shifting dreams, not what it seems
It never is
The sun will always rise
Just as it promises

Shifting dreams, not what it seems
It’s never true
No one knows where we will go
They never do

Baseball Diamond

You think of tomorrow
The things you’ll get done
Your family’s a portrait
When spaces come done
She says she will meet you when it’s five past seven
No time like the evening
The baseball diamond

You can’t find your ticket
The hands in the air
So what it’s a foul ball
The children won’t care
She sits smiling next to you
The sun on the edge
The circle of waves that come
When he comes to pitch

No hands like the evening
I want you to win
I feel like it’s coming
The second stealin’

She sits like the season
The sun watches him
A break in the clouds
No time like within

No time like tomorrow
The baseball diamond

Believers waiting for the sun
To come down
Believers waiting for the sun to come down

Believers waiting for the sun
Believers waiting for the sun

Norway

We were sleeping ’til
You came along
With your tiny heart
You let us in the wooden house
To share in all the wealth
Don’t you know it’s true
Norway

Seven figures lead the hungry mouths
The beast he comes to you

a hunter for a lonely heart

In the season of the sun

Don’t you know it’s true
Norway
Norway

All the people say to me

Please enjoy yourself

I’m growing older anyway

We keep it to ourselves

Play The Game

Open up your mind and let me step inside
Rest your weary head and let your heart decide
It’s so easy, when you know the rules
It’s so easy, all you have to do is fall in love

Play the game, ev’rybody play, play the game of love

When you’re feelin’ down and your resistance is low
Light another cigarette and let yourself go
This is your life, don’t play hard to get
It’s a free world, all you have to do is fall in love

Play the game, ev’rybody play, play the game

Love runs from my head down to my toes
My love is pumping through my veins
Driving me insane

Play the game, ev’rybody play, play the game of love

This is your life, don’t play hard to get
It’s a free, free world, all you have to do is fall in love

Play the game, ev’rybody play, play the game of love

The Arrangement

You were bad before you left a good life
To chase the palm trees swaying in the
light
Do you say what you mean
You are only sixteen
And it goes
And it goes

You know that you’re really not a dancer
or good at reading other people’s minds
They are two-faced in the mirror
No vacation from here
And you go
And you go

The arrangement of lies
In a party of spies
Pick a good one, do it right
The arrangement of lies

You know that you’re really not a dancer
Or good at reading other people’s minds

So you make a choice to leave a good life
To chase the palm trees swaying in the
night
What you see in your mind
The bright side of a dark line
And it goes
And it goes

The arrangement of lies
In a party of spies
Pick a good one, do it right
The arrangement of lies

The arrangement of lies
In a party of spies
Pick a good one, do it right
The arrangement of lies

The arrangement of lies
In a party of spies
The arrangement of lies
In a party of spies

Saturn Song

I was looking
For a four leaf
Clover

White snakes
Fake summers
For that gunpowder

Out on my own
Out on my own

Why give good manners
Life just don’t matter

Out on my own
Out on my own

Why’d it turn backwards
Out on my own
Out on my own

I Do Not Care For The Winter Sun

Snowflakes that fall
Across my eyes
Cannot compare to a dark
Surprise
What’s new becomes old
What’s old is new
When I first laid
My eyes on you

I do not care for the winter sun
Windows and fires
Or the bridge you’re on
It doesn’t matter
This time of year

Though darkness comes
So quick in time
Shortens our days
To longer nights
Build a blue fire
And kneel beside
Snowflakes that fall
Across our eyes

It’s all that matters
This time of year

10 Mile Stereo

They say we can go far
But they don’t how far we go
With our legs on the edge
And our feet on the horizon
Cuz this heart is a stone
And this is a stone that we throw
They say we will go far
But they don’t know how far…

It can’t be gone
We’re still right here
It took so long
Can’t say we felt it all
Limbs parallel
We stood so long
We fell
Tear a moment from the days
That carry us on forever

This push and pull is a force of a wave of
time
In the heat of a night
We would cry you are not mine

They say we can go far
But they don’t know how far we’d go
Cuz this heart is a stone
And this is a stone that we throw

It can’t be gone
We’re still right here
It took so long
Can’t say we felt it all
Limbs parallel
We stood so long we fell
Love’s like a pantheon
It carries us on forever

Wherever You Go

The kind you like
To come back in
Wherever you go
No hawk in sight
The scenic drive
The signs just so

The brightened lines
Stay by your side
Wherever you go

The kind you like
A comeback kid
They told you so

Wherever you go
No doubt it
It’s true
The lights up

Wherever you go
No doubt it
It’s true

The kind you like
No end in sight
The rest you know
