Airplane Window

San Diego dance floor I met a San Diego dance whore
Deliver me to some east coast queen
I’m full of California and bad dreams
Singing…….
Bloody Mary it’s twenty past three
I got this horrible feeling coming over me
Gotta get me back on an airplane
I got unwanted voices running through my brain
They were Singing…..
Flea Cars and public schools
Strip malls and swimming pools
Down below out my airplane window
Dave did my charts, he dodged the draft
He’s been to all the places, I was just at
Down below out my airplane window
We were singing…..

Mind Malaise

Old tongues and heavy lungs
I see what it is you’ve done
You try and make a way with me
You try and make a way with me
Old shoes and heavy news
They’ll drop bombs on Santa Cruz
They don’t care about you and me
They don’t care about us
They don’t care about you and me
They don’t care about us
They don’t care about us
Empty vase and a short maze
With you I sleep away my days
I don’t know about me this week
I don’t know about her
I don’t know about me this week
I don’t know
Six days in the mind malaise
Three more weeks is all she stays
She’s got things to do now, she’s got things for her
She’s got things to do now, she’s go things for her
She’s got things for her
It’d be nice if they didn’t know about me and you
It’s be nice if they didn’t know about me and you
It’s a good time, don’t you think it’s a good time
To keep your mouth sewn closed
Whites snakes with the pearl rakes
From these things you won’t escapes
They’re gonna have their ways with us, they’re gonna have their ways with you
They’re gonna have their ways with us, they’re gonna have their ways with you
It’d be nice if they didn’t know about me and you
It’s be nice if they didn’t know about me and you
It’s a good time, don’t you think it’s a good time
To keep your mouth sewn closed

I'm so cold...
I'm more cold than you
Things aren't gonna last
Things aren't gonna last...
All is vanity
All is vanity...
I'm so scared...
I'm more scared then you
Things aren't gonna last
Things aren't gonna last...
Well I love my family
I love my family...
I love my family...

Drawing Pictures

Guarantees are not for certain
I don’t care how hard you’ve been working
You ain’t got nothing now
What you been thinking anyhow
Fools got guarantees
And you got nothing
What you got today could easily be gone tomorrow
Everything is lent, everything you’ve got is borrowed
Nothing lasts forever
The changes in the weather
Bring new things but we
Still got nothing
Are we happy with nothing
Drawing pictures on the water
Gone before you discover
The things in this world
That you’ll miss
when they’re gone
Guarantees are not for certain
I don’t care how hard you’ve been working
The presents almost done
The future in a moment comes
What we got now is all
And we got nothing
Drawing pictures on the water
Gone before you discover
The things in this world
That you’ll miss
when they’re gone
When they’re gone
When they’re gone
When they’re gone
When they’re gone
When they’re gone

lyrics by Chris Bathgate
The last parade on Ann Street babe
Was when the frost leaves sounded like glass
When we burned down the whole damn block
With a wink and just one match
Well the site I reside in now
It's new grove but same old ghosts
But I owe to the one before
'Cause it's the one that stained my voice
But the last one
Yeah the last one
Was to burn us out

Well I’ve got too much stuff
I don’t need half this much
But I’ve scraped and saved and put away
The things I thought you’d want today
Some you won’t want, some you won’t use
Others you’ll love, some you’ll lose
And of all these things
The one I love the most
Is a hardy toast from a gracious host
So drink boys
Cause tomorrows not here
And the last thing we need is our heads too clear
So drink boys
Cause tomorrows not here
And the last thing we need is our heads too clear

I’ve got a special place set aside for me when I die
I’ve got a special place set aside for me when I die
Cannonball, cannonball, cannonball
Well run me through
Cannonball, cannonball, cannonball
I love you to death
I love the little things, simple is as simple’s been
I love the little things, simple is as simple’s been
Cannonball, cannonball, cannonball
Well run me through
Cannonball, cannonball, cannonball
I love you to death
I’ve got a little room down in hell
I’ve got a little room down in hell
Cannonball, cannonball, cannonball
Well run me through
Cannonball, cannonball, cannonball
I love you to death

Lift the shadow from this heart
Strike the kindling, save the spark
I see light where it’s dark, dark, dark
Lift the shadow from this heart
All your charcoal could be cold
If you saved the lightning for your soul
Do you feel warm where it’s cold, cold, cold
Did you save the lightning for your soul
Weakness and commodity
I’m no witness
I can’t see, see, see
This darkness won’t let me be
Turn these dry lands into shore
You can’t squeeze an ocean through a door
But it’s so dry, won’t you pour, pour, pour
You can’t get your vision from a store
Weakness and commodity
I’m no witness
I can’t see, see, see
Scare the darkness out of me
Lift the shadow from this heart
Lift the shadow from this heart

Traffic To The Sea
03:43

Sweet
Life is so sweet, so sad
The ones you love the most go by so fast
Traffic to the sea, to the sea where you bumped into me
Traffic to the sea, to the sea where you bumped into me
Please don't let me down....
Down....
All the water we took from that sea
The sea claims into obscurity
And we don't know a thing
Yeah we'll pretend we know everything
I don't know a thing
I'll pretend I know everything
I know I wont let you down...
Down...
Sweet
Life is so sweet, so sad
The ones you love the most, go by so fast
Traffic to the sea, to the sea where you bumped into me
Traffic to the sea, to the sea where you bumped into me
I know you won't let me down...
Down..
