saw it in the sky that night
dropped in the pale moonlight
sent by the nameless one
looking for a new fixation
so walk to the courtyard near
and tell me what i oughta hear
but i don’t wanna
listen to a word you’re saying
i just wanna keep on raining
until the valley’s full enough to swim…

Down in The Valley
03:17
|

artemis sits in the courtyard snow
in the far-out reaches of the afterglow
tying a knot at the end of her bow
waiting for apollo to show
and when he showed up
he played his harp
for the fire ants that roam the dark
and when her arrow slipped past
hit him dead in the calf
they laughed and laughed and laughed
low, down in the valley
can you hear that waking sound?
can i be your friend
when the war is over?
if tomorrow grows
white roses underground?

Mercury

|

when all your dying dancing days are through
who’s going to be the one
to pull you out
from under the blue?
mercury
i think soon your day is going to come
can’t you see
how close you’ve been flying to the sun?
summer breeze
fruit on the vine
makes you believe
that the dream is still alive

The Mystic
04:10

the mystic
on the mountain top
waved her hands
and the clouds stopped
and a heavy rain fell from the sky
and in the valley the people tried
to catch it
in their mason jars
the drops of rain
the shooting stars
the wild breathing down below
that’s when she knew she had to go
oh mystic
sitting on the hill
tell me, do you love me still?
or tell me are you soon to leave?
like autumn rain and summer breeze
i missed it
then the sky cleared
and suddenly you disappeared
and a heavy moon sunk way down low
don’t leave me in the afterglow
just melt my
little hopeless heart
and pour me in your mason jar
or pull another tarot card
and give yourself the sign
that you need to see to know
what’s already in your soul
check the charts
how the stars unfold
and you can see
what you already know
maybe i’m just looking for a sign
any reason why

I Got It (Pretty Bad)
02:54
|
|||
there’s a time bomb
somewhere in my head
i can hear it tick away
it almost went off the other day
and maybe i’m circling the drain
or maybe i’m falling free
either way i’m kinda curious
to see
no more medication
no night of the living dead
no serotonin
pouring out the back of my head
and maybe i’m circling the drain
or maybe i’m falling free
but somethin bout the ride down
just don’t feel right to me
i got it pretty bad
there’s a time bomb
somewhere in my room
i can hear the floorboard creek
it almost went off the other week
and maybe i’m circling the drain
or maybe i’m falling free
i get if you don’t wanna be around
to see
no more pretty photographs
no land of make believe
now everybody’s looking
how’s it feel to be seen?
and maybe i’m circling the drain
or maybe i’m falling free
but i’m afraid
that when i land
it’s gonna be the death of me
oh no….

in the land of the clouds
does it rain underground?
are all the days
golden?
can you hear the angels sing?

The Tide
03:27
|
|||
technicolor summer
and the neon tangled night
would you still
you still
be a friend of mine?
tomcat in the alley
and the grey moon drifting by
and you’re still
you’re still
oh my lonely mind
some of the time
some of the….
well i can hear you singing
every time that i drive by
a basketball hoop halo
heat wave, late july
and if you come back a ghost
could you please haunt me sometime?
and we could sing that song
and your voice could bleed with mine
when i went surfing i
went out with the tide
and i never came back

Salvation
03:38
|
|||
past the gate
the future waits
the water runs
the night is breathing
and i’m out walking in the moonlight
it waits
the outer space
satellites,
an ancient engine burns so bright
while comets fly
past marble skies
and constellations
and i, my mortal climb
toward sweet salvation
walk the winding blocks
with drifting thoughts
and dream of zion
pace the neon scape
where mammals scrape
determination
to ride the slow dive
from sweet salvation
i don’t wanna waste
another day
another life
ava maria
while my
eternal sigh
tumbles by
to the pick up station
to ride the rail lines
toward sweet salvation

Down The Line
03:23
|
|||
let’s start a band
you can play the drums
and i’ll sing my songs for
the lonely ones
and when you’re out of reach
and i’m down the line
this world just moved to fast
you know it left me behind
well i feel
(baby)
like i’m swingin from a vine
tryin to keep the peace
while you keep the band in time
and i feel it coming
no, i feel fine….
yeah!
some carry roses
some carry knives
some carry their dream like a torch
and the dream never dies
well that’s me
(baby)
fanning to keep the flame alive
our days are numbered
the seas gonna rise
the bluebird at your windowsill
disappeared into the night
but it’s not leaving
no it’s just waiting down the line..

Animal Feelings
02:31
|
|||
maybe somewhere
down the line
in the gulf
of written time
your weary hand
will fall to mine
and high while silver comets fly
a twisting in the gardens heard
with no one round to say a word
and i’m awakened with a start
from dreams too big to fit my heart
these animal feelings i describe
exist outside my conscious mind
but i see moonlit shadows dive
and figures swing from vine to vine
