These Days

These days in the underground
I’m keeping me safe keeping me sound
Won’t let your games tear me down
Cause it’s been 97 cold days
Of digging my own grave
Waiting for the next train
Bound for your heart
Get out of my head
Lets lay this heavy down
Kindly loosen your grip
And get out of my town
Cause I’ve been thinking
I could loose you in my drinking
And this town is sinking
I’m not your moonlight anymore
I lost my mind in Southern Ontario
Along with the dream I left there
And I guess I’ll find my own way back home
I’m sinking, I’m sinking
Cos I’ve been thinking, as this moon is sinking
And this time we’re drinking
I’m not your moonlight anymore

A Girl Gets By
04:13
|

So you thought you had it made
Thought that you’d just walk away and walk on by
Kept me hidden in the shade
While you began spinning silly lies
But a girl gets by in a foreign land
There’s no shortage of a helping hand
I don’t need no money, cuz I got more
Now I’m on my own now, that’s for sure
I don’t need you babe
I don’t need you babe
See me walking out that door
I don’t need you babe
I don’t need you babe
Cuz I can’t love you like before
But a girl gets by
Said you had to go away
Working for the CIA in your spare time
I do hope you’re working hard
Cuz i stole your credit card
Is that a crime?

Milk & Honey
04:55

For the same amount of money
I could buy my boy some honey
Picture book the same old story
Who gets the girl and all the glory
We never find it when we need it
It always longs for us to feel it
But paranoia is not believing
What to give and who’s receiving
And we could live
Til the sky falls in
And we could live forever
In the land on milk and honey
There’s no measure there’s no money
There is just a river and it’s runnin’
Like the clouds floating by
Riding in the wood on horses
Light and free our thoughts and choices
Featherlike

Twisted With Love
04:03
|
|||
Step into the marvelous coincidence of life
Swallow all the evidence, chase it down with some pride
The first to leave is a liar, believing in something clever
Where in the world can god exist, when bad news travels better.
Bad news always travels better
And you know, you know how good it feels, to be twisted with love
And yet it’s hard to realize exactly when you’ve had enough
Of love and love love love
Take a leap inside the deep, deep end of desire
Torn apart, twisted hearts, walk the high wire
Nothing given is nothing gained and love can take her time
But Freedom’s truth is a trick on youth, pulling at ties that bind

Back To The Middle
04:02
|
|||
I’ve been down and out, I’ve been making ground I’ve been living
I’ve been black and white, all day and night I’ve been giving
I’ve been flying high, until I lost my mind to the living
And I’ve been cutting ties, with the allies I’ve been running
Still this life I’m living keeps me running away
And there ain't nobody asking me to stay
When there’s nothing left here to keep me right
I come back to the middle
I’ve been playing hard, until I showed my cards to the devil
And I’ve been coming down, since I lost my crown in the struggle
Been getting around, been living loud in the city
Ooh and I’m working hard, for a life that I believe in.
I’ve been letting it slide, paying no mind to the season
I’ve been loving wild, then leaving for no reason

In The Name Of Love
04:18
|
|||
Is that thunder I can hear? Who’s that whispering in my ear?
And I think we should be leaving pretty soon
With our bodies we’ll decide, should we live or shall we die?
Will we ever get out of here alive?
One day pretty soon, you’re gonna see that we really could’ve made it
In the name of love
One day real soon, you’ll see the strength it took to remain in good grace
What a feat to turn back the page, all In the name of love
Maybe take me by the hand, maybe take me as I am
We will outgrow this world full bloom
Because there’s a fire in our eyes, when we let our worlds collide
And we’re dancing our way across that line
And I hope that you don’t mind, If I leave my good sense outside
And decide to stay another night

Over To Your Side
03:26
|
|||
Thought I could walk away, from this disaster
But you were strong, kept holding on
You thought to run and hide and think of an alibi
And there’s none, because you were wrong
Oh Oh will you love me in the morning
Oh Oh when you wake will you call me.
We could scream till day turns to night
Lick our wounds, argue, fuss and fight
Sleep it off but before too long
I’d be climbing over to your side
I turn to you, and you look the other way
We’re both headstrong, but you’re still wrong
You over analyze, and I begin to cry
But not for long, cos I am strong
Another day goes by, I sit and I wonder
How come, I still want some
We could be miles apart keep’n it together
Making art with this guitar

A Way To Fall
07:11
|
|||
Don’t watch me come undone, like a loaded revolver
Keep walking straight ahead, don’t look past your shoulder
Because I’m in lust with you in anger, I'm In love with you in pain
And if you’re searching for the answer, I’ve got nothing more to say
Cause we all have a way to fall
Cause we all have a way to fall
And I can still remember, the way it all began
The struggle for survival, between a woman and man
So here’s to looking out for each other, to keeping our spirits safe
And from one bullet hole to another, I hope you find a better place

Think It Over
04:19
|
|||
Time stood ahead of you, as the holy globe turned over
Planted seeds and watched them grow, aftertaste without hunger
I know you’ve been lonely and I’ve met lonely too
I know you’ve been faithful, and all that’s fair is true.
But I’ve been running out of luck, trying to see the city lights
And here I am, honey won’t you think it over
And I’ve been running out of steam, trying to be keep a head of you
And here I am, honey won’t you think it over, think it over
Anarchy takes a breath, as the pleasantries begin
My redemption has been staged, as I’ve lied for lesser things
I know you’ve been hurting, and I’ve been hurt before
And I know it hurt you to say it as the words fell to the floor
I’ve learned my lesson well these four walls keep me frozen
Aftershave on my pillowcase, a piece of you left over
And I know, you’ve been lonely and I’ve met lonely too
I know you’ve been faithful and all is fair that is true.

Let Me Down
04:00
|
|||
This thing that is between you and I, keeps toiling golden-laced lies well into the night
This affair if that it be, lays me down heavy and brings me to my knees
Although I know it’s not supposed to feel this way
It’s trouble I can’t live without
And if suddenly I should loose my grip
Surely you won’t let me down
Don’t let me down
In my mind there was a time, when you let me know things
you gave me some sign
Now this a matter of life and death, your dying words and my bitter sweet breath
I threw away of my dignity, what’s to become of this tryst
Fate has turned into my enemy, feeling reality’s fist

Nobody's Crying
04:59
|
|||
As I'm sittin' in the taxi for the sky
He's off to slay some demon dragonfly
And he looks at me, that long last time
Turns away again and I waved goodbye
In an envelope, inside his coat
Is a chain I wore, around my throat
Along with, a note I wrote
Said "I love you but, I don't even know why"
But darling, I wish you well
On your way to the wishing well
Swinging off of those gates of hell
But I can tell how hard you're trying
Just have this secret hope
sometimes all we do is cope
Somewhere on the steepest slope
There's an endless rope
And nobody's crying
Well a long night turns into a couple long years
Of me walkin' around, around this trail of tears
Where the very loud voices of my own fears
Is ringin' and ringin' in my ears
It says that love is long gone
Every move I make is all wrong
Says you never gave a damn for me
For anything, for anyone
But darling, I wish you well
On your way to the wishing well
Swinging off of those gates of hell
But I can tell how hard you're trying,
Just have this secret hope
Sometimes all we do is cope
Somewhere on the steepest slope
There's an endless rope
And nobody's crying
May you dream you are dreaming, in a warm soft bed
And may the voices inside you that fill you with dread
Make the sound of thousands of angels instead
Tonight where you might be laying your head
I wish you well
On your way to the wishing well
Swinging off of those gates of hell
But I can tell how hard you're trying
Still have this secret hope
Sometimes all I do is cope
Somewhere on the steepest slope
There's an endless rope
And nobody's crying
Nobody's crying
Nobody's crying
