Jupiter in July

 
Just like the fourth of July
She took my hand and cried
“I remember you”
Something subtly changed 
Got rearranged
From my altered point of view
Underneath the naked stars 
Hints of Jupiter and Mars 
Call the shallow to the deep 
Beg our hearts to set us free
Lost in a far away land 
Where the few understand 
The fearless or the kind
She looked at me and declared 
She would never go there:
That life she left behind
I re-minded all I knew
I re-captured who I am 
Surfaced just to take a breath 
I’m forsaking all the rest
Inside it is warm
Shelter from the storm
Finding what is real
Changed the way I thought
 and how I feel
We found a moment in time
I took her hand and sighed
”You remember me”
Knowing what I intend
Much more than friends
I’m that man I need to be
Underneath the naked stars 
Hints of Jupiter and Mars 
Call the shallow to the deep
Beg our hearts to set us free
Sitting very still
Using all my will
Finding space to give
Changed the way I love
 and how I live 
It changed the way I love
And how I live
Just like the fourth of July
I remember you

Silent Sea

 
Take my hand
What will be will be
No one will question who we are 
By the silent sea

Something is calling
A voice sings endlessly
Life emerges from the swelling tides
By the silent sea
Hurry don’t be late
One chance for us to be
Far from the shadows of the mind 
Away from the echos of the city streets

The weight of our journey will unwind
The years we sacrificed
In a fool’s paradise
You cannot see
What waits for you and me
Take my hand
What will be will be
No one will question who we are 
By the silent sea

Tear it Down

 
You said something I heard nothing
I said nothing you heard something 
Tear it down
I did everything for you
Just tear it down
It’s the only thing to do
I’ve been waiting you’ve been praying 
I’ve been praying you’ve been waiting
Tear it down
Can’t get anything from you
Just tear it down
It’s the only thing we do
I’m better off alone and
You should really
Go back home
Must we tear it all down
To the ground?
Down to the ground
I don’t like it when you’re lazy
You don’t like it when I’m crazy
Tear it down
Is there no alternative?
Just tear it down
Is this any way to live?
You're forgiving me for living
I been living for your giving
Tear it down
We had everything it's true
Just tear it down
I will always sing to you 
I’m left here all alone and 
You’re stuck out there 
On your own
But Just tear it down
Oh tear it down
I’m better off alone and 
You should really
Go back home
Must we tear it all down
To the ground?
Down to the ground

Who will start what I must finish?
Could I ever learn to live with...
Build me up
We ain't found our blaze of glory
How could we just end this story?
Build it up
But it's all torn down
Just tear it all down
Tear it all down
And move on...
We should move on
I’m not stayin' where you’re layin'
You’re not layin' where I’m stayin'
Tear it down
We'll give into gravity
Just tear it down
Live where you would rather be
You're my wrecking ball but
I can build a stronger wall 
You can't wear me down 
Or tear me down
I am standing tall and
You will never make me fall
You can't tear my love down
To the ground
Down to the ground

~ sigh! ~

Souvenirs

 
Souvenirs from failed relationships
Well I keep ‘em close by 
I see them everywhere 
They remind me of
How happy I am when I’m with you
No more let downs 
No more hang ups
Between the pages 
I found a fairy tale
With so many ways
I finally found a better route
Because of you 
I have seen the difference 
Because of you
I have opened my eyes
Buried within 
Until I learned what I must do
Unchain my burden
Free my desire
‘Cause nothing holds me
No one controls me
It’s a trick of the mind
To be on the outside looking in
And all because of you
I have seen the difference 
Because of you
I have opened my eyes
Because of you
Never turn the page 
before your story begins
Souvenirs from 
Failed relationships
Well I keep ‘em close by
I see them everywhere
Just a reminder
I’m happy with you

Shadows

 
Refrain: (Baby come back to me darlin
Baby come back right now
Come on back here darlin
Set your heart right down)
Walking…on that lonely road again
Not sure where you’ve been 
Not sure where you’ll go
Looking…at that same old face again
Wonder who that is
Wonder who’s erased
You keep on telling her that
You’ll be back tomorrow 
You might find what you’re seeking
Hiding in the shadows

[Refrain]

Knocking…on that same old door again
Waiting for a sign
Waiting for some more 
Turning…at a lovely point and then
Rising to a star
Rising to be joined
You keep on telling her that
You’ll be back tomorrow 
You might find what you’re seeking
Hiding in the shadows
Hiding in the shadows for all your life
(It doesn’t matter that you didn’t stay)
For all your life
(It doesn’t matter what you’ve thrown away)
For all your life
(It only matters what you do today!)
But keep on telling her that
You’ll be back tomorrow 
You might find what you’re seeking
Hiding in the shadows
Hiding in the shadows
Hiding in the shadows
 for all your life
(It only matters what you do today!)

[Refrain]

Right There

 
Ooh
Ooh
Her lips
Her eyes
Her hips
And thighs
They make me high

Ooh
She looked
At me
She took
My key
And now I’m hooked

I couldn’t walk away
My body makes me stay 
Right there

Ooh
Ooh
I touch
Her dress
I must
Confess…
You know the rest

Ooh
She’s down
I’m blind
I drown
I find 
I lose my mind

And then she turns away
I want to make her stay 
Right there

And then she walks away
No one could make her stay 
Right there
Anywhere

Now she’s leaving
I’m not breathing

Ooh
Ooh
Is love
Or sex
Enough
What’s next?
I want the rest

Ooh
I wait
About
I’ll stay
Devout
She walks right out

And then she turns away
I want to make her stay 
Right there
Yeah there

And then she walks away
No one could make her stay 
Right there
Anywhere

Now she’s leaving
I’m not breathing

Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

No one could take away
The day she made me lay 
Right there
I mean there 

Now she’s leaving
I stopped breathing

Ooh

Been Sleeping (Ode to Gil)

Do you have an aim
Do you have a plan
Do you know what it means 
 To be [a/hu]man?

Do you have the reins
Do you know your mind
Do you know what it means
 To be on time?

Who you are
Has nothing to do
With your little point of view
But you’ve been sleeping
And it’s keeping 
You…Down, down, down…
All the way down

Do you answer “yes”
Do you answer “no”
Do you look upon
  The middle road?

Do you watch yourself
Do you catch your breath
Are you quite prepared
 For your own…death?

Who you are
Will really come through
The very heart of you
But you’ve been sleeping
And it’s keeping
You…Down, down, down…
All the way down

Who you are
Has nothing to do
With your little point of view
But you’ve been sleeping
And it’s keeping 
You…Down, down, down…
All the way down

Do you have an aim
Do you have a plan
Do you know what it means 
 To be [a/hu]man?

American Dream

 
I lived and died the American Dream
Cuz things aren’t really what they seem
Worked all my life, she don’t want me
I lived and died the American Dream
The same old thing today
Bills unpaid
The sinking feeling you will never find
Peace of mind
I did everything her way
Spent all I made
Packed up and left my home for a better job
But I was robbed
I’m burned up and all tapped out
What else could I live without?
I lived and died the American Dream
Cuz things aren’t really what they seem
Worked so damn hard to keep her green
I lived and died the American Dream
New products and miracles
Take a pill
What else can you do, to protect your head?
Until you’re dead
Trying not to just get old
No one to hold
A million others who live just like me
Uncertainty
I’m running on borrowed time
I say it’s a goddamn crime
I lived and died the American Dream
Packed up all my pride in my S.U.V.
I survived COVID 19
I lived and died the American Dream
Shopping malls 
Tell me what I want to be
The markets fall
Prop them up with spending sprees
Build a wall
Are you fucking kidding me
I’m living on borrowed time
I lived and died the American Dream
I’m still in love with my country
My rock ’n’ roll will keep me free 
I lived and died the American Dream

Stay Awhile

 
Running out of time
She keeps trying
Running out of doubts 
She’s beside him
For a while 
Just for now

Shutting down her mind
She can hold him
Putting out her fire 
She might know him
For a while
Just for now

The truth
Dances in between the lies
And burrows deep inside 
The truth
Doesn’t matter anymore
Just wait there by the door and
Stay a while
Searching in her eyes 
He keeps aching
Searching in his heart
He is waiting 
Stay a while
Just for now

Holding on he tries
To console her
Hanging onto smiles
He just holds her
Stay a while
Just for now

The truth
Dances in between the lies
And burrows deep inside 
The truth
Doesn’t matter anymore
Just wait there by the door and
Stay a while, just for now
Stay a while

Breaking all the rules here inside me
Breaking all the hearts there that bind me
I can’t wait more
Filling all the holes deep inside me
Will he ever come in and find me
I can’t stay more 
Just for now
For now

Stay a while, just for now
Stay a while, settle down
Just stay a while
Stay a while

Don’t you wanna change
In the slightest 
Don’t you wanna try
To rewrite this
Stay a while
Settle down
