Running, Running

Sun in my face as I'm leaving
Leaves in the trees are falling
Thunder shaking the street, it cracks
Police on my tail, getaway car
I'm running, running, running...
Lonesome day, checked the bank, I'm broke
Needed to pay for the rent check
Kids haven't eaten in twelve days
Up against the wall, pulled up and robbed the store
I'm running, running, running...
Sirens are screaming, there ain't no turning around
They'll treat me in a cell like a pigeon
Lord I'm ashamed of my past deeds
Needed to feed the family tree
Why do I have to be afraid here?
Why can't I get a fair shake?
What is the world if not unfair?
But I'm the one who pulled the gun.
I'm running, running, running...

Film Review

Is time passing?
I think it's all in my head
but slowly fading away
the dog's long hair
is slowly turning grey
but I hope she really stays
it's been a long month since like a week ago
said let's take it fast, then let's take it slow
but still time keeps going astray
help! my feelings slipped away
I once felt we never would be late
in doing the film review, the story seems incomplete
it was organic, not a shortcut to grace
then we woke up late
time isn't fair, passing like waves
even on the cloudiest of days
the weather's warm but my heart's so cold
wondering how the hell we got so old
don't be disturbed by the broken man
or his aging face
help! my feelings slipped away
I once felt we never would relate
in doing the film review, the story seems incomplete
Is time passing?
I think it's all in my head
but slowly fading away

Hold On, My Dear Brother
03:22

Hold on, my dear brother
It's only sand, only sand, only sand
Reach down and discover
it's in your hands, in your hands, in your hands
Have a little faith in one another
I won't refuse the call
Don't ever think that it's a trouble
to ring a friend
If you call me, I won't bother
To judge your mind, in this time, in this time
Cause we all go through the ringer
Once in a while, not from a lack of trying, a lack of trying
Have a little faith in one another
I won't refuse the call
Don't ever think that it's a trouble
to ring a friend.

Long lost drummer, a parade in the foreground
Melodies to fill the song that they wrote for the fallen
Trees slow dancing, all in form now
Softly seeding and speaking
In common verbal hushed tones
Let's sail far, far away
Long lost on solo soiree
Forty thousand miles through space
Floating down...
Tall code talkers, standing above ground
Can't seem to speak the language
That aliens have brought from London
Let's sail far, far away
Long lost on solo soiree
Forty thousand miles through space
Floating down...

Sunday morning, raise my cup
It's alarming, don't wake me up
Tuesday morning, she's still gone
Jelly combing, all mixed up
I lost four days
the sun has gone away
Wednesday morning
Seems like a show
The lock won't open
It's twelve past one
I lost four days
The foggy mornings are grey
Sunday morning, finally came home
I was dreaming, watching a show

You're my heart, my Queen of spades
I'll be the King that brightens your day
Two plus three and four for a straight
I'll be your five, if you'll be my Ace
With love, a world in need
Our love, in front of pain
The river's flowing, so place your bet
Turn and burn, I'll call what you get
I'll throw my hand, and I'll be yours
Take the money, as long as it's ours
With love, a world in need
Our love, I want it to be
With love, a world in need

Sunlight Fades Away
03:44

I hate when sunlight fades away
after summer
Oh, I see the headlights from far away
LIke a golden chain
Yeah, it's the sunlight or nothing
Oh, life re-arranges like a tidal wave
Sunny days fade away
I hate when the moonlight fades away
in the morning
Oh, my father, my sister and my son were swimming
in the sun, they were swimming
Yeah, it's the moonlight or nothing
Oh, with the changes of the phases
Solemn waves sail away
I love when the sunlight comes awake
In the springtime

Utah/Arizona
03:22
|

|
I've been falling, falling
I need the car and a long ride
Everybody has got me
Itching to leave this home life
With the sun on my face,
I hear the song calling
On a late night trip,
I see the star falling
Driving through the rocks past the ocean
Let me call you back someday next week
Into Utah/Arizona
It's a flying saucer coming back now
With the sun on my face,
I hear the song calling
On a late night trip,
I see the star falling

Coloring, soft and frail
Purple and white
The city's on and calling
But out of phase now
It's hard to say if the sound has weight
But all the ghosts fly
They call it Vauvenargues
it's all a bacchanal
He's calling, it will be okay
The final rest of life
Sensei, lead the way
This life is alright
The city mood, it's hard to see through
All the colors fly
They call it Vauvenargues
it's all a bacchanal
He's calling, it will be okay
For the final rest of life
Hey, it's a light!
It's a very short life
It's a shame we can't fly
Just spread our wings, into the night
They call it Vauvenargues
it's all a bacchanal
He's calling, it will be okay
For the final rest of life

Leaving My Hell
03:30
|

|
When I saw that train was leaving
Grabbed all my things and left
On the other side was heaven
Leaving my hell
I braved the rain in Kansas
Fleeing outside all by myself
When I arrived in Denver,
I slept for forty days
Oh, just follow the moonlight
To feel the passions of the planets at night
Leave everything you have behind
And seek out your best life
I fell in the mud in Colorado
On a sunny but cold January day
I checked my phone and saw a halo
The face of an angel
Oh, just follow the moonlight
To feel the passions of the planets at night
Leave everything you have behind
And seek out your best life

Crestfallen
03:18
|

|
Insane mind thrown off the radio
For saying orange is really red
The horror becoming crestfallen
At thirty-four after eleven
Shots! Rang out like fire
As the man made out a fool
He set off trucking, rev it up
On a chase down Interstate 27
Cornered, firing at enforcement
As a single shot ended the melee
Shots! Rang out like fire
As the man made out a fool
With open eyes, left crestfallen
There to die, out in the sun
