Collide

hello...
is this what they mean by losing control?
it's gone away
all i've to say
is hip hip hip hooray
i never needed it anyway
i go up
you go down
we're a happy merry-go-round
side by side
along for the ride
and the instant before we collide,
i catch your eyes, and i face
eternity with an open smile
-----
Even as the birds leave the trees and the leaves change the weather
They come together and sing
The cold brings them apart with the hope of meeting next
Spring forth a new day, we're free from the old way,
It's better, can't you tell?
Oh well, it seems, the spring has brought a new lover to the nest
Listen to me:
Don't listen to me
Even birds of a feather
Fly apart

He's satisfied with his life, even better than a movie
She plays the part of his wife, and everything is groovy
It's ok to not be alone in this world
Even if the daily grind is less routine
Than the lovely one who wears your ring
Kay, it's ok
One day the ball will drop dro... dr... d...
One day he'll cross the line
One day he'll blow his top top... to... t...
'Til then, everything is fine
She's satisfied with her life, even better now she did it
Kay as her name, was the wife, of the billionaire who bit it
Kay is now all alone in this world
Though she doesn't even mind, laughing at the wake
Even as the mourners say:
Kay, it's ok

Toady

Every morn' he kiss his wifey goodbye
She doesn't know that he's living a lie
Swagger to work, make a good dollar
No one notices the hanger sticking out his collar
Even his kids don't think twice
About his obsession with Judy Garland knick knacks
And he bring new meaning when he sing:
Somewhere Over the Rainbow
Back in the grind, another boot spit shined
He know a place to take the bosses to unwind
Out with the boys, oh yeah, they're painting the town
You wanna work your way up, you gotta learn to go down
A lunch with Bob, meeting with Neal
Gets a big raise, closes the deal
And I just called, love, to say:
Sorry, i'll be working late again tonight
To preserve my reputation
You are the cover for my relations
We never had this conversation
We never had this conversation
We never had this conversation

Meteor
03:37

*you are a beautiful planet*
*(like you've never received that transmission before)*
*and i've observed your orbit for millennia of moon*
*and this time i won't pass you by*
*'cause i wanna be your meteor*
I was hanging with the stoners in the sky
When I was caught by the force of your gravi-tie
I'm not just a comet tryin to get a little tail
I won't break upon you and become celestial hail
But if you're looking for another big bang baby, here I come
Bearing down like a train
And I wanna be your meteor
I know in the past
I have been an asteroid
But your heavenly body
I can no longer avoid
Diving, burning, screaming sphere!
I'm not saying only what you wanna hear
Unless you wanna hear me say I'll streak no other world's stratosphere
My draw to you is stronger than granite
I swear as sure as Pluto's a planet
Don't want no ellipsis wanna make the final drop
So let's get together and we'll do the Hale-Bopp
And I wanna be your meteor

500 feet
03:14
|
|||
|
Let me sleep in your grass, let me sleep on your porch
Let me peek through the glass, let me sneak through the door
I got a love you can't ignore
Let me sleep on your couch, let me sleep in your chair
Let me sleep with my face buried in your hair
Come the morning light, won't know I've been there
I know you know me
And 500 feet can't keep away a love this deep
Let me sleep with my love, let me sleep with my guilt
Head bowed, a flower begun to wilt (well, wilt on)
Solid as a slab, this foundation built
I know you know me
And 500 feet can't keep away a love this deep

i come walking in to find you in the bed with every man who ever said he would'a spent all of eternity with you and ths a fact, but you know he only said it just to keep you on your back, lesson learned in all the times i've been burned so now, i just shoot for what i've yearned all along, cut to the chase
even if i wanted, would i wait another year, another comedy is always 'round the corner to appear and even though i've never wanted any permanence with you, i would'a like to seen your body from a dog's eye view so ruff ruff ruff ruff ruff, rough me up and call me rover, slip me in your oven then you given me all your lovin and when i'm done, turn me over, say B I N G O, bingo, baby, men are dogs well, i'd like to hollar: you got the leash, then i got the collar
well now, i've seen your dog and he's lickin your face, and i'd kill the mutt if it could put me in his place, i've tried to be nice, n'all you said was no thanks, can't beat 'em, join 'em, so now i'm in the ranks of the dog, yeah, what cha think of that, sniff butt, lick mutt, chase the cat, run around with a pack of friends and howl
it's a dog eat dog world and
that gets me excited
i will claim my property and
you be the hydrant
what does your puppy see when you are all alone
and if i was your puppy dog would you give me a bone

Froggy

froggy sees among the cypress knees
what he's been searching for all of his life
so he swim, singing softly a hymn
to accompany him as he crosses the night
nervously, he approaches her tree
gets down on one knee a'fore the one he adores
asks as planned for miss mousey's hand
grasping for comfort his pistol and sword

Thistle Seed
03:06

Thistle seed is what she scattered
Delicate, as if it mattered
To the birds, who gathered at her feet
Chickadees and purple finches
Line the trees and dot the fences
Where she live, and where I wanna be
Tell me it's not hard
To walk away from what she started
I've been tryin' but I can't find my feed
Tell me it's not hard
To walk away from what she started
Guess it's real 'cause now I feel complete
I remember autumn breeze
And lying on a bed of leaves
Our thoughts were colored: red, yellow and green
Now the fall has turned to grey
The trees are barren, yet they stay
Like outstretched arms, reaching for the spring

Can we go back to where I said hello?
From that point on, I haven't seemed to run the show
(Though, I must admit, it's interesting to watch,
must have missed this episode)
Dancing machines!
Caught in a trance;
Watching as the conversation circles like a moth
Around the flame within your eyes
My disguise ignites and I am naked
Fumbleing for alibies
Dropping guard, I am awake, yet
Unaware my mouth betraying me
O can you see, by the evening light
So proudly I fail so that I might be seeming
To submit to wanton lust
And everloving lies
It's my disguise (my do or die disguise)
Strange how words hang now
Thick in the air, oh, I can hardly breathe
It's like I'm choking on the feet that once were cleaned
By hair that carried tears from times when I had leaned
In there, to bury fear, the nails that cling to
Seem to only now be holding air
