Gone are the New Days
03:02

Gone are the new days, gone are the new days gone
Gone are the new ways, gone are the new ways gone
Gone are the blue rays, and the true ways, gone there are few days, gone they are through days gone.
Roll out the music, roll out the drums and go
Blow out the trumpets, bring out the rock and roll
Gone are the blue rays, and the true ways, gone there are few days, gone they are through days gone.
Gone are the new days, gone are the new days gone
Gone are the new ways, gone are the new ways gone

Onions and Apples
03:03
|

When you gonna shake up?
I’m bruised and bandaged, I don’t wanna wake up
Just get along
And your fuse is short but your muse is long so carry on
We never talk the chapel
Between onions and apples
Your voice is so sweet
But your words are strong
Too tied up in knots between right and wrong to carry on
When you gonna move me?
Stop staring right through me are you gonna settle down
Or saddle up?
Pulled no punches then you just push me away where I belong
Pulled no punches then you just push me away where I belong
Pulled no punches then you just push me away where I belong

Something for Someone
02:40
|
|||
Don’t take long enough to find
Lonely one stay up at night
Looking for a hand from time to time
Just trying to be
Something for Someone
Nothing for no one
Something for Someone
Tonight
Always caught on the other side
Looking for some kind of sign
Something to say, “Everything will be all right”
Just trying to be
Something for Someone
Nothing for no one
Something for Someone
Tonight
We were raised by rules
Caught into the race
Thought that love is a game
Of standing in place
But the longer you wait
The longer it takes
Just try to be

Julie Says

Julie says I’m angry and that I get what I deserve for making fun of everyone who comes around
I told her not everyone, she’s wrong, and I guess the jokes on you
She said you think you’re funny and that much I knew was true
I said you drank a lot until you found your attitude
Now you’re on the wagon up there looking down
She said come on aboard, I’m selling salvation in a paper cup
You mean Jesus Christ or Kool-aid? I give up
She said who are you?
What is wrong?
What is wrong with you?
I said who are you?
What you’ve done and what you always do.
I’m better alone
She said your lucky to get through what I never could
And damn the way you flaunt it all over town
But I barely wake up every morning, and misfortune is a better word
Let alone do I leave my home or make a sound

Don’t you wish it were true
Simple explanation that was never far from view
The kind of words that carry you through
But don’t you wish it were true
Simple truth or grand design
Final answer revealed in time
What you can’t deny
Need someone from time to time
Don’t you wish you were wrong
Second guess the evidence
See the writing on the wall
Gonna have to carry on
But don’t you wish you wrong
Simple truth or grand design
Final answer revealed in time
What you can’t deny
Need someone from time to time
Simple truth or grand design
Final answer revealed in time
What you can’t deny
Need someone from time to time

The end is around the corner this is my opportunity, bye bye
Do I really tell or warn her or simply pack my things and leave, bye bye
The end is the end of another lover
Again and again like starting over
Begin the begin like rolling thunder, bye
Begin just a little colder
Pack a blanket here for me, bye bye
Cover my body and over my head and underneath my feet, bye bye
The end is the end of another lover
Again and again like starting over
Begin the begin like rolling thunder, bye
The end is around the corner this is my opportunity, bye bye
Do I really tell or warn her or simply pack my things and leave, bye bye
The end is the end of another lover
Again and again like starting over
Begin the begin like rolling thunder, bye

Good Day
03:16
|

Today is a good day
Where everything is going your way
And there's no stopping now
There’s no reason for turning around
Cause we’re moving on
And all the worries that we had are gone
Don't it seems too proud
So good to have you around
Today is a good day
I hope you get to feeling the same
Cause’ there’s been too many darker clouds
Never know what will be coming around
Keep moving on
Steady stepping holding on so strong
They don’t know us anyhow
Can’t even put us down

Close The Door
03:59
|
|||
You Know I worry
You’re my everything in sight
Of all that you do that concerns me
And your smile simply won’t make it right
I know you already told me
You’ve had it down in black in white
You’re the center of almost everything
You’re the son I’m the satellite
Please get off the table
Please close the door
And turn out the light
You cannot wake me
I’ve been right up here up all night
Why don’t you call me
I think you’re dead
And you think I might
Please get off the table
Please close the door
And turn out the light
You’ve been a laborer
Now since the day you came into light
And you think I’ll never know you
And then again you could be right
Please get off the table
Please close the door
Please close the door
And turn out the light

Lost With You
02:14
|
|||
Are you fail safe
And burned out
Cast away in some kind of doubt
Well, I’m lost w/ you
Did you get caught
In the jetstream
Pointing your arrow at some kind of scheme
Well, I’m lost w/ you
We can compare our notes
Retrace steps, drift aimless afloat
Better to be in this boat
Than to swim along
Did you get caught
In your long leads
Stuck inside of some kind of dream
Well, I’m lost w/ you
We can compare our notes
Retrace steps, drift aimless afloat
Better to be in this boat
Than to swim along
Are you burned out
And flailing
Stuck inside of some kind of dream
Well, I’m lost w/ you
Well, I’m lost w/ you
Well, I’m lost w/ you

Liminal
04:16
|

You leave your lovers there to wonder
While others love to let you go
You never someone and crumbled
So far down there’s no below
Do you always drink your own convictions
Stuck your heart all alone
Will you ever love one and worry
You lose it all and never know
This time
Do you ever feel sort and tender
Or empathize with parts unknown
Has no one ever touched your should with slender
Kicked you off your stepping stone
Have you never had a dream to haunt you
Never wish for it will return
Are there not mistakes to warn your loves
Have you no regrets from which you learn
This time
Are there places in your heart to ponder
Do you always intellectualize
Have you ever burned with love and passion
Get so lost inside her eyes
Have you ever said the words I love you
Then think its oversimplified
But how you really feel in translation
When words are easily defied
This time.

Time For Telling
04:20
|
|||
Here’s a Time for Telling
Here is the right now
There’s no use in harboring wait
Or settling for better ways
Make it known
Speak out loud
There once was a pale moon water
Where hearts were ashore could not be found
But somewhere along the way
The route got washed away
Now it's nowhere to be found
Here’s a Time for Telling
Here is the right now
There’s no use in harboring wait
Or settling for better ways
Make it known
Speak out loud
There once was a headlight shining
Throughout a chat gravel town
By the light of Shakedown Street
Brought men to their knees
Not a single one can be found
Here’s a Time for Telling
Here is the right now
There’s no use in harboring wait
Or settling for better ways
Make it known
Speak out loud
There once was a new horizon
Marked by sure lines and profound
Now a man’s still walking free
But he was burried today
Beneath the standing shallow ground
Here’s a Time for Telling
Here is the right now
There’s no use in harboring wait
Or settling for better ways
Make it known
Speak out loud
