It’s never easy
For the drunkard
Fallen inside a bottle screwed on tight
Scratching up the insides
Losing grip on glass
His vision buried by the sight.
Enjoy every sandwich
That’s the lesson to learn
The deli may not open again
Van Owen reappears and blows you right through to the end. End.
To the end.
All night long
Finding out
It won't be long
Checking out
in the early dawn
Turn it up
All night long
Turn it up
All night long
Blink of an eye
A decade melts away
A puddle left for what it’s worth
Giving back an image
Only amplifies
Imperfections that have rarely occurred
Roland and his Thompson gun
Crossing enemy lines.
Misplaced loyalty is her weakness again
Van Owen reappears and blows you right through to the end. End.
To the end
All night long
Finding out
It won't be long
Checking out
in the early dawn
Turn it up
All night long
Turn it up
All night long

Cant Deny It At All

Drew my breath in
Tried to stop my jaw hit the floor
My head was spinning
At the beginning
I never saw it all
In the silence
Put the pieces back in a pile
Saw no meaning
Didn’t think I was deceiving
Waiting for the fall
Where did you go?
I stuck around but now you finally know
Not much for fighting
Just can’t deny it at all.
Where did you go?
I took my chances cause you were too slow
Nothing left for fighting
Just can’t deny it at all.
Just can’t deny it at all.
I tipped the waiter
Walked away with barely a glance
Checked my text and
Worked out who was next and
Made some hasty other plans
Where did you go?
I stuck around but now you finally know
Not much for fighting
Just can’t deny it at all.
Where did you go?
I took my chances cause you were too slow
Nothing left for fighting
Just can’t deny it at all.
Just can’t deny it at all.

Why the need to walk forward
When the world is simply turning around
Captured in a cyclone
Humor packaged up and flushed to the Sound
Look inside
Open and find out
Whoo Hoo Hoo Mercury
In retrograde
Don’t quite believe it
Whoo Hoo Hoo Mercury
Whoo Hoo Hoo Mercury
Doing better than before
No longer lying on the ground
Looks are darting
Around the room
Walking through and the guests make way
Avoid the Thatcher of the wry
Nothing to see here
This Time
Look inside
Open and find out
Whoo Hoo Hoo Mercury
In retrograde
Don’t quite believe it
Whoo Hoo Hoo Mercury
Whoo Hoo Hoo Mercury

Coming Up For Air

Stuck inside of Miro on a rainy Tuesday night
Thinking of stories held within
Looked up and caught her eye, she held my stare right back
the stage is set I'll let the story begin.
Is this seat taken here?
She smiled, sat on down
Didn’t wait for my all-clear
Poured the tea, then she looked away
Took out her book, and read
only later did she say:
But before I tell you that, you've got to know that she knew me.
and what is more, I knew her too
playing the role of public strangers wasn’t hard
over the years we'd faked it through
No quick glances to see
Who is spying, who is spying on me
Safe away from prying eyes
for once get to push away all our family lives.
And she said,
Coming up for air
I've got to believe
Not prepared to throw it all in
Need a bigger world in which I can breath
I'm not the one and neither are you
a shared perspective
I hope that you can help me through
Just by coming up for air
Just by coming up for air
When you’re coming up for air
Not denying the need
Feeling tempted to leave
Just a moment of care
Step away from the burdens we share
When we’re coming up for air

Northern Skin

Meet you halfway
Hold your elbows in
Keep you busy
Bruise your northern skin
Pack a lunch and keep your distance
Parking the bus is not my style
Scout a pathway
But it’s rarely clean
Space is closing
Clouds obscure the means
Two people looking to the distance
Same view but seeing different thing
A lie from touch is unspoken
Silence covers up the sound
Manipulating our fingers
Distracting our own team.
A life of compromise is given
Must abide and depend
On better motives inside you
And not a father’s voice
Telling you where to end
