DON'T WANNA DIE IN 2012

The night air: cool like a pistol
The dim light fades: so subliminal
It’s all so meaningful..yeah

A filter pass on my cigarette
I love the things time forgets
I wonder where they all went

It’s a film noir, it’s the road ahead
It’s a 40’s call from my femme fatale instead
Dial cedar 55671
Dial cedar 55671

Jealous moon don’t scare my stars away
You’re so cold : ancient anyway
It doesn't matter what I say

In my room, there’s a place
John sings: Brian’s spaced
And madness is erased..yeah

Repeat

Like a top, you spin in flight
Its another: restless night
You got it now...you got it right

On TCM Bogart wakes
In black and white, by the gate
I want Lauren Bacall and Veronica Lake…

Repeat

Gratification
Satisfied
and i fell
fever

Sorrow Field (REMIX)

SORROW FIELD (REMIX)

i went down to sorrow field at the rotary park north main
the sky as blue as the mood i'm in...it's so hard to explain
there where the diamond's laid, fences
waiting silently for the spring
where the players they don't get paid,
hear the ghosts of children sing..hear them sing

the wind whistles through the treetops bare like
trinkets from a late august day
frozen in a pitcher's glare, the good ones always get away
in my mind the count is 2 and 2, a slider backs me off of the plate
i dig in with my rusty brown shoes,
i swing hard but mister it's too late...much too late

i went down to sorrow field at the rotary park north main
the sun as sweet as a sugar cane, it's not so hard to explain
the creek so shallow winding well,
i guess we really could use some rain
you know it's the things we want that seem to cause us pain
