Winter Years

Underneath your sky
I'm as cold as ice
Not a suitor for your warm advice
Mr. Sun will shine
As I wave goodbye
Let it be my perfect alibi
Send me world beyond
Where seasons see new dawns
And shadows feel the sun
In my winter years
Let the ocean tide
Swallow all my pride
Cool my temper with your override
To live in modesty
Will bleed your conscience dry
Cut the noose and let your fate decide
Can't stop looking down
In my winter years
When I touch the ground
In my winter years
Cannot make a sound
In my winter years
(Years, years, years)

Showtime Collision
04:06

Lights go out
Keep ambitions underground
I can save them in a jar
For the next life I've found
Black and white
Every day and every night
In a conjugation set
For the next round we fight
Can't help but wear weight
Of red tape and cliche
It's showtime for collision
Fear is the place to be unafraid
It never ends in a vision
Now is the time to be unashamed
Face to face
A religion I don't waste
You can sass me to the end
There are no honest men
Hear me now
Superstitions in this town
We can want this sacred place
For I am nowhere bound

The Cosmic Era

Venture far to get to this end of the Milky Way
Stakes are high but numbers lie for those of us who stay
Departure from your third band roost can conjugate a war
Parlor tricks and politics won't get you through the door
I get cold inside...
Satellites with teary eyes will soak us to the bone
With pinup dolls and shopping malls to make us feel at home
I get cold inside...
It's a long way down from outer space
Through the eyes of paper souls
On the ground taking that old cliche
You can bet I won't be home
Venture far to get to this end of the Milky Way
Super racketeering leader call him Killer Kane
I get cold inside...
Socialites and parasites in 2044
The planet's made of lemonade with souls to squeeze us poor
I get cold inside...

A Safe Return

My recollections crash and burn
I fracture, My sentiments in two
Empty spaces fill myself
Tomorrow reaps fondness that I lose
Nothing in this universe
Compels me like everything you do
So let the ocean drift you home
Without violent weather
And let the sunrise make you whole
Without hesitation
You may find a different storm this time
Tragic was your peace of mind
Illusive, seductively unkind
Sailing ship for foreign land
Is there comfort in the sadness that you find
Strung out on nostalgic thoughts
Absentia is reality of mine
You walk on my weak soul
I burn but you stay cold
My intuition's stumbling
Unpleasant thoughts that fill my head
My inclination's crumbling
On empty years I spent on you

Fisty Cuffs

Sinking like a stone in water
The hands they lift you up and gone
You try to claw but nothing matters, Dahling
Welcome to your fresh new home
Someday soon they'll hijack all you own
Someday soon they'll reap what they have sewn
Landed in a pond of steel
The air it burns but no remorse
He waits for you to croak and keel, Dahling
Your pleas for life go unendorsed
They dress to kill
This world's not kind to you
Fate can be too divine
For those who play your tune
Ah, ah, ah
On display for mom and master
Whose conscience bleed of cold delight
This must be Hell or some disaster, Dahling
Surely birds would waste less time
They dress to kill
This world's not kind to you
Fare can be too divine
For those who play your tune
Fate can be Hell
They dress to kill
This world's not kind to you
Fate can be Hell

Crimson Polyester

You stumble at my door
And fold when I'm in doubt
Intentions were not made to last a lifetime
And time is running out
Hey, fascination taking over me
It's strong and evident
Hey, dressed in crimson polyester
Headlong in your descent
I won't pay affection no
This time it's crystal clear
On tenth street we'll sachet into sunrise
And watch me disappear
Raise yourself above us
Bare no likeness to us
Raise yourself above us
And we'll crawl
Intentions were not made to last a lifetime
And time is running out

Gone For Tomorrow
04:04

The folks back home will not believe the things I've been and seen here
Kiss the heels and kiss your friends goodbye
Up the beach I've chased the moon and held it after midnight
Hold my breath and let the thought subside
Whoa oh
And your gone
Gone for tomorrow
Here for today
Gone for tomorrow
Here for today
Thoughts and dreams don't make a scene the way they often used to
This city's unforgiving anyway
Holding on and letting go this time it's only fiction
Hanging on the strings of yesterday
Can be anything you want just be so when you are
(Why don't you choose?)
Can be anything you choose to be just be so when you're not
(Why don't you choose?)
Well I'll be here just crashing in my car
Well I'll be here just crashing in my car
Well I'll be here just crashing in my car
Well I'll be here just crashing in my car

Lie With A Smile

I hear you whisper gently in my ear
Transmitting through my radio
Big brother says there's nothing left to fear
Capsized and left to decompose
4, 3, 2, 1, Go
This time we don't know, Huh
Where we're going to go
This time we don't know, Huh
Where we're going to go
This time we don't know, Huh
Where we're going to go
This time we don't know, Huh
Where we're going to go
Behind us Planet Earth is left in dust
Like Kennedy is '64
Back home we didn't know quite who to trust
Old politics go out the door

The Universe

There's no rest you can find
That's as solid as mine
I can take away the dirty things that people say
If your day's turning blue
You can always fall down
I can take from you this agony you wear like a crown
If you fear your own kind
Then take refuge with mine
It can be a brighter future when you leave it behind
So we live and we learn
And we love and we burn
But the universe will always be
A shelter above
So we ache and we war
And we wish to be more
But the Planet Earth will always be
Lingering on
Spend those years under foot
It's the toil you choose
It's a bitter kind of romance that we often abuse
If you want peace of mind
Pack your bags and reside
To this corner of the universe where people can hide
