Rothko 04:16
Muted canvases on the wall How your hues explain it all Thought I was the only one Who could mourn a setting sun Who could mourn what's long been done So I close my eyes to see Through the foggy mystery Like a broken obelisk Dr. King would take the risk Then Dr. King was laid to rest Metal moon up above Gypsy burn with love Evermore May we bend and brake It's the risk we take To be more than just awake To be more than just awake To be more than just awake Gentle pull upon my ear Telling me that someone's here If you see the Rothko man Tell him I did understand Tell him I hope he's alright Send my thanks to him tonight

Run Run Run 03:45
Run run run It's over now You've had your fun fun fun And you're out somehow What to do Now that he's gone My guess it's up to you To carry on Some days you wander the bluer waters They days you knew I wandered the greener pastures Abide my spirit take my heart and bleed for what you need Take what you need My, my, my My masochist Is whispering "why why why this fated twist?" But why ask why? What's done is done You've got enough to try To overcome Some days you wander the bluer waters The days you knew I wandered the greener pastures Abide my spirit take my heart and bleed for what you need Take what you need Run run run It's over now You've had your fun fun fun And you're out somehow

My quick step flip-flop captain Your princess has a stone stuck in her shoe And you're wondering what happened 'Cause I agree to take a walk 'round your part of town with you But by the time we get to Brooklyn I think I'll have fallen in love We walked by the Dakota We talked about our favorite Lennon songs When you held my hand in your hand I imagined growing old along with you Then we ran to catch the Q train We picked it up at the Carnegie Hall Where the steel drum plays Tchaikovsky And down down babies slumbering babies chaos and all And by the time we get to Brooklyn I think I'll have fallen in love Easy come and easy going Even if it lasts a moment Heaven knows I took a couple for the team Had a drunkard and a drifter A gold digger and a gifter Even one who couldn't help but make a scene Why'd my baby treat me oh so mean? And on the train ride back from Brooklyn I happily had fallen out of love You're just about to get me I'm just about to see you as you really are This is just about my favorite part When the darkness of the tunnel turns to bright blue light of day

Kid 04:01
Close my eyes kid Love is blind kid And you've got mine kid Joys and pain girl Life's a game girl Can't complain girl Take my leave now Hard to see how Father mine, wow Lead my hand somehow It's ok It's ok until you come I wait Until you come I wait

Sweet Louise 04:10
You take one step out the door And i'm warning you, you ain't coming back You try my patience and more And the last three days have been a heart attack Chorus: Do you believe in me? Do I belong to you? Are you my sweet Louise" Who's tempting and taking her precious time, precious time As one hand shakes to hold on And the other one is letting you go You have my blessing go on Go and realize what we all must know Chorus And the rain might flow And the crickets go To the beat of the drum And the rain will come from light Come from light And the right might flow And the crickets go To the beat of the drum And the rain will come from light You're alive You're alive Are you my sweet Louise? Who's tempting and taking her precious Tempting and taking your precious Tempting and taking her time

Trouble 04:07
See the trouble with this conversation Is that it's nearing to an end IAnd the trouble with getting to know you Is it's getting harder to pretend That I know I don't own you a thing Ain't got no ring on my finger to say That I gotta go your way Just got the way that you whisper 'Hey baby do you want to?' When you know I do And the trouble with having a whisky Is that one ain't never enough And the trouble with having one with me Is that soon you'll call my bluff And the trouble with getting you going Is that the going does get rough And I know you don't owe me a thing Ain't got no ring on your finger to say That you wanna go my way Just got the way that you whisper 'Hey baby do you want to ?' When you know I do I do I do And the trouble with having you over Is that sonn you'll have to leave And the trouble with having a beating heart Is when I wear mine on my sleeve Don't I know you don't owe me a thing Ain't got no ring on your finger to say That you gotta go my way And most love is incomplete And it knows me off my feet But the chills can be so sweet What do you say baby Do you want ?

Traffic Jam 04:54
Traffic jam In this unknown land But we've got time, we've got time To stand All this time, all this time At hand Next to me Mr. Serenity Feeling fine, feeling fine To me Very fine, very fine To me Chorus: And you say don't worry, don't worry It's all gonna be ok You say don't worry, don't worry It's all gonna be ok I feel my worry, my worry It all starts to fade away Honestly I'm all 'bout honesty But I've got lies in my life Lately Little lies in my life Lately Silhouette Am I ready yet? Have I love to find you yet? Must be love to find you yet Chorus Traffic jam In this unknown land About time, about time About time, about time

Honestly honestly You got a right to be The way you want to be It's you and me and Kinski's three They say he's crazy I guess he's crazy But he's just like you And he's just like me And it's just like how we imagined it would be In a vision of and about our love And it came so naturally And it happened accidentally And it was so right for me They all said 'girl, dream on' They all said 'girl, dream on' Symphony carry me Into a choral sea Give me a place to be Destiny, I hear my destiny A hundred voices strong A hundred years beyond And it echoes you And it echoes me And it echoes how we imagined it would be In a vision of and about our love And it came so naturally And it happened accidentally And it was so right for me Klaus-ey baby Drive me crazy Take the wheel for me And he said 'girl, dream on' The choir sang 'girl, dream on' We all sing 'girl, dream on and on and on and on...'

Venus Rising 05:04
Gone, nothing's gone It's just one thought away Wrong, nothing's wrong There's just nothing more to say And sometimes I just don't know no I just don't know If the way that I'm headed is the way I want to go The way that I'm going is the way I ought to go You say Vedic scripture should tell me so And that the stars in the sky they'll realign And the moon and the sun do tend to collide Well i'm sorry to tell you I don't really believe you But you're kind to try and convince me so Oh, oh, so kind Oh, oh, so kind Time, it's just time And it marches along Fine, I feel fine I feel willful and strong And sometimes I just don't know no I just don't know If the way that I'm headed is the way I want to go The way that I'm going is the way I ought to go You say Big Black Book it tells us so And that a long time ago in a far off land Lived a great superpower with a rib in his hand And then I came into being cause Eve started deceiving and now... I can't go on, I can't In life I see only what's surrounding me Maybe the weight of Venus rising Equals the way me hearts capsizing Maybe you say you're Adam But maybe I'm ont your Eve Wrong, no one's wrong We're just all on this move Strong, I'm so strong When there's nothing left to lose And sometimes I just don't know no I just don't know If the way that I'm headed is the way I want to go If they way that I'm going is the way I ought to go You say Big Black Book it tells us so And no I just don't know now I just don't know If the way that i'm headed is the way I want to go The way that I'm going is the way I ought to go You say Vedic scripture should tell me so And no I just don't know no I just don't know no I just don't know...

Changed 04:45
You want what you want and you don't want this You need what you need what you can't resist We had what we had but we've lost it now I knew it we blew it I don't know how Chorus: It was a long time spent on the road And I can hold my tongue But our stories have so oft been told How we're changed How we're different We ca't stay the way we were before Cause we're changed now were different You can take the way I am or leave me alone Leave me alone The children up north well they're calling down We see what we see why you don't come 'round Said I love you I did what I had to do If you knew what I knew you'd have done it too Chorus You want what you want and you don't want this You want what you want and you don't want this
11.
Around 03:51
You and me I have no say in the matter You will be the clash 'mongst all of the clatter And I'll be around you I'll always be around Sweet sixteens and loves like sweaters in Venice In betweens and dopes who just didn't get it Alouette, Suga-mama Alouette, Suga-mama If I'd been round you He never would have found you I like the way he surrounds you Like him I'd like to be around Those who looked above the fantasy cruises Those who took your love and left you in bruises Alouette, Suga-mama Alouette, Suga-mama If I'd been 'round you He never would have harmed you So long as you allow me too I'd really like to be Attending patiently Wave good-bye to each tragedy with me Around

And the fire clicks along inside it's plastic log Turned on by this little plastic knob And it almost feels like home It almost feels like Same and me and Jackie G Huddled around the Christmas tree When the light's like this When the light's like this When the light's like this I almost think I'm home And they say it's twelve below They tell me not to go outside My limbs and eyes will freeze from the wind chill And I nearly do comply But I can't miss this time All lit up like Christmas time it is When the light's like this When the light's like this When the light's like this I almost think I'm home And I wonder how you are I wonder if you licked the door tonight And if the dog is doing alright And I wonder where I'd be if I had never met you If I had never let you hold me so sweet So sweet So sweet I almost think I'm home.
