Your eyes, they conjure up those cliffs of Moher
Far away I'm not listening anymore
Dreaming of life on another shore
Not here, not now with me the bore

So I stopped talking and fade to bleak
Feeling insignificant after feeling weak
Even though it's not who I know mysel

I'm siphoning gass from the high school bus
Into the tank of my beat-up bug
So I can drive away from the shouting and misery

I drive into the night, to the hill, to the water tower
To lie on my back and drink in the meteor shower
Knowing that many men have lain as I do now<

The autumn leaves drift by my window
The autumn leaves all red and gold
I see your lips
The summer kisses
The sunburned hand I used to hold
But since you went away
the days grow long
and soon now hear a winter song
But now I miss you most of all
My darling

I want to be somebody
I want to make a difference

Little boy caught in a drive-by
Witnessed the killer who made his daddy die
And 'cause he identified and signed the dotted line
He could feel it in his stomach, he signed away his life
Little boy who once was the leader

Pulling on the apron strings looking up
Standing on the chair to be grown up
I feel so little, I need my pillow
I hate the time, I hate the clock
I want to be a dog or I want to be a rock

Sunday's pancakes Miss Mary Mack
Color Polariods show my heart attack

Why do you think she wears those black boots...
Why do you think she dyes her hair black...

She's awfully insecure
She's trying to be cool
She's hoping to be more in those,
black boots.

Why do I think I wear those black boots...
Why do I wear three pairs of

Calling, calling
Calling, calling

This is a 911, what is my location?
This is a SOS, a white flag for my state of being
Oh dear God are you listening, to me on the phone?
All I ever hear is your dial tone

Calling all saviors
Superheroes, paramedics
Calling all

Carmen, I don't know I don't know I don't know if I can go back
Carmen I'll never be never be never be the same again
Carmen, carmen
Carmen, carmen
Carmen, carmen

The way you set the table
The way you lean to tell me something soft
The way I can see into you
The

Goya and El Greco, Gaugin and Van Gogh
Painted light in the darkness, chiaroscuro
Imagine we were a painting
A woman and a man
Two lovers on a canvas
One is white one is black

Darkness and Light will be married tonight in chiaroscuro
Your body on mine - two colors c

Lord make me a lightning bolt to burn off this ring
(Comin' down, comin' down)
Lord make me a skilsaw to cut through these chains
(Comin' down, comin' down)
Lord give me the clarity to see through this smoke
And salvage the woman comin' down
Lord make me an arrow to pierc

Tell me how the story will unfold
I know you see everything
Tell me all about the torch and scroll
I know you know everything

So why do you come to me?
Why when I'm sleeping?
Why am I the only one who knows you're there?
Why, why?

My dear, my dear Gertrude

Who is this hurting mother?
Don’t want to be her now
Who in the hell’s that sad reflection?
How did I lose myself?
How many times I walk the river
Wondering what life’s for
Sobbing beneath the staid performance
Too scared to let it out

Duty calls… duty calls

You make me feel like a sticky pistil Leaning into her stamen. You make me feel like Mr. Sunshine himself. You make me feel like splendor in the grass where we're rolling Damn skippy baby you mak

You make me feel like a sticky pistil
Leaning into the stamen
You make me feel like Mr. Sunshine himself
You make me feel like splendor in the grass where we're rolling
Damn skippy baby
you make me feel like the Amazon's running between my thighs

You make me feel love</

Never, never, never, giving up the ghost
The spirit, living, breathing oxygen and hope

Like gravity's magnet delivering us to something we can't see
A silent connection, to the poets' and the seekers' destinies
And when the storm clouds are teaching us the lessons from the tomb

Mother was afraid for me, I dreamed too big
Always, biting off more than I could chew
No road map for a hopeless sinner, a feckless leader
Just, wandering and stumbling through

Seeking the truth I read the bible, but I do not feel the word
The way some folks, they feel the

I keep walking down the same city streets
The same city lines, to the same lonely beat
People say hello but I don't know what to say
I don't know how I feel, I just can't act that way
I wanna hide from all these strangers
I wanna run home to you
All I need is your com

Here I am, a black-eyed bird, remaining silent
I simply watch, your little life from high above
Wanting to call you, wanting to sing
Inside your ears and lips and eyes and soul
I dig my grave, behind the gates of Babylon

There's a Garden of Eden
In your distant heart

I remember the pain in my mother's eyes, I remember the pain of her compromise years ago. I always wanted to help to make it go away, I didn't know it was her freedom that she needed so. And she

There is a diamond inside of me That lights up the sky of my soul Where fell the diamond when I believed That all of the hurt was my fault I'm opening the heart door, Letting in the light O
