Come What May (It's Okay) 02:54
lyrics
buy track
Strolling down the avenue The windmills don't obstruct the view Doing what you wanna do Come what may It's okay Tell me what sustaining means It's the future that remains to be seen And I don't want it if it's never clean Come what may It's okay Figure out the time it takes to raise the city streets Someone do the calculations, show me the receipts I've never been to Tullamore, but sampled of its dew But that don't mean I'm never here to take the time for you Roger and the avalanche They tore down every olive branch Now we're dealing with the aftermath Come what may It's okay Strolling down the avenue The windmills don't obstruct the view Doing what you wanna do Come what may It's okay

It's Not Because of You 03:12
lyrics
buy track
I never really wanted anything But I'll have it anyway You always had a bit of everything But it's not because of you You've got your fingers in a sticky pie But you never washed your hands beneath the sink Your west is in the east, I wonder why But not with all the time could I begin to think You've got your fingers in a trap because you pushed them much too far How deep they are Your repertoire When every map is fully blown you look below a falling star They fall how far It's quite bizarre You sit right down beside your easy chair 'Cause you got too many options left to sit But you don't really know what's lurking there All you know is that you know it's time to quit I never really wanted anything But I'll have it anyway if it's to be You always had a bit of everything But it's not because of you it's 'cause of me I never really wanted anything But I'll have it anyway if it's to be You always had a bit of everything But it's not because of you it's 'cause of me But it's not because of you it's 'cause of me But it's not because of you it's 'cause of me

I-I-I-I-I just wanna drink beer And not go to work Put on a tie or even Button my shirt Today Today Today I have lettuce to shred Salami and cheese on day-old Italian bread Today Today Today Tangled prism Tangled prism I-I-I-I-I just wanna drink beer And not go to work Put on my wing-tip shoes or Head into church Today Today Today

Evergreen 02:43
lyrics
buy track
You remember going out of town To see what things are going down When summer splits its lip But don't forget your gingko tree (But don't forget your gingko tree) Better late than never, I decree You are the role You have control Evergreen Once inside you make the weather Any type is often better You recall the day the sun went down Too early for the mid-day crowd But someone can explain But don't forget your gingko tree (But don't forget your gingko tree) Better late than never, I decree You are the role You have control Evergreen Once inside you make the weather Any type is often better You are the role You have control Evergreen Once inside you make the weather Any type is often better

Don't Leave Me Hanging On 05:13
lyrics
buy track
Sleeplessly you toss and turn around your northern canopy Among the trees The moon and stars are bright enough to show the world its panoply For all to see A billion miles in between Our planets bathed aquamarine A time machine Out here there is no night or day No second chance or yesterday It's fair to say Don't leave me hanging on It won't take long Phenomenon Midnight or early dawn They carry on Automaton Take the time to gather all the gems and jewels across the sky It's only time Organize them one by one before you say your last good-bye And get in line A billion years between the two A miracle upon review A subtle hue Out here there is no night or day No second chance or yesterday It's fair to say Don't leave me hanging on It won't take long Phenomenon Midnight or early dawn They carry on Automaton Endlessly we drift apart until we vanish to the deep And so we meet Fingers spread, they call your name until you're lulled into a sleep Without a dream A billion ages we're apart From denouement again to start We know by heart Out here there is no night or day No second chance or yesterday It's fair to say Don't leave me hanging on It won't take long Phenomenon Midnight or early dawn They carry on Automaton

No Way to Describe It 04:15
lyrics

I didn't go to bed early I didn't wake up late Stepped out to see it's still dark outside The sun'll rise in just a minute, guess I'll wait I know what woke me Things aren't what they seem Silently hoping While I'm asleep, in a dream A sad dream but I liked it There's no way to describe it A sad dream but I liked it I didn't hear my alarm going off I saw the sun rising Cast a shadow on the ground The light reflected off a memory I'll take a walk to the lake, look around I know what woke me Things aren't what they seem Silently choking While I'm asleep, in a dream A sad dream but I liked it There's no way to describe it A sad dream but I liked it I didn't hear my alarm going off I didn't hear my alarm going off I didn't hear my alarm going off I didn't hear my alarm going off I didn't hear my alarm going off I didn't hear my alarm going off

Seasons of the Moon 02:49
lyrics

Sunday after Easter I forget the proper name Lights were on the center I was slightly out of frame Right there on the floor You could barely hear at all Prisoner of war Standard protocol After Thomas Sunday And I'm laying on the couch Laying's good for sitting Layers never even slouch Pitch-dark living room It'll all be over soon Author's nom de plume Seasons of the moon Been about a month now But I didn't really count Not too many memories But too many to discount Right there on the floor You could barely hear at all Prisoner of war Standard protocol Pitch-dark living room It'll all be over soon Author's nom de plume Seasons of the moon

But Will It Go? 03:09
lyrics
buy track
Once again your only friend Has left his headlights blinding Fruitlessly he turns the key And keeps the engine grinding But will it go? We never know Your father is a cockatrice He sees you're never flying Your mother wants a renaissance And heaven knows you're trying But will it go? We never know The scholars add the ampersand for Clerical convenience The equals sign is genuine Numerical agreements

Michelangelo 03:57
lyrics
buy track
Woke up this morning feeling like a man who fell out a window and landed on a trampoline Gotta thank the one who had something special that let him have the foresight to reckon with the things unseen Let's blow every number that comes up scrolling past for the people watching drawings on the TV screen No matter how many times the lightning strikes it doesn't change the fact that you're dealing with the in-between Someday I've got to go I'll never know Michelangelo That day I'll hitch a ride Into the sky The day I die Someday I've got to go I'll never know Michelangelo That day I'll hitch a ride Into the sky The day I die 10:30, I'm counting every blessing that the world for unknown reasons doth bestow upon this mortal soul Try to take a third for granted 'cause it never makes a difference when you only motivation's just some rock 'n' roll When "with it's" not important anymore so you're wearing just an Oxford with a subtly floral tone Learn to close your and listen to the sounds around the window, imitate them, now you're one with the orioles Someday I've got to go I'll never know Michelangelo That day I'll hitch a ride Into the sky The day I die Someday I've got to go I'll never know Michelangelo That day I'll hitch a ride Into the sky The day I die Someday I've got to go I'll never know Michelangelo That day I'll hitch a ride Into the sky The day I die

Wishing Well 04:14
lyrics
buy track
Throw a nickel in the wishing well Hear the echo as it falls forever deep Brick and mortar, bones and fontanelle It's the drone that overtones could put sleep Hear the birds that never nest at night Hear what wisdom has to say What would it say now? Send a letter for the holiday Lick the stamp and don't forget the return address Peas and carrots, broth and caraway As it lingers, might as well clean up this mess Hear the birds that never nest at night Hear what wisdom has to say What would it say now? Warm shower to calm you down now Wash the grime from wheeling Cape Cod or two-floor townhouse See how good you're feeling Hear the birds that never nest at night Hear what wisdom has to say What would it say now? Don't waste your money on a wishing well Don't waste your money on a wishing well Don't waste your money on a wishing well Don't waste your money on a wishing well Don't waste your money on a wishing well Don't waste your money on a wishing well Don't waste your money on a wishing well Don't waste your money on a wishing well Don't waste your money on a wishing well Don't waste your money...
