Letters To Cleo Album

I think I'll close my eyes and wait
As the world goes by
Won't see the same old thing that out there
Everywhere, yeah...
The thousand wishes I have had in my life
Come true
After they are gone I say
"What did I do that for?"
But...

I see, I see, I see, I see
This world going in circles around, all around me
I'll end up mad before life is through with me
Guilty old...
I see, I see, I see, I see
This world going in circles around, alll around me
I'll end up mad before life is through with me

I think I'll pay my dues then drive real fast to stand in line
Then I'll wrack my brains to find some chaos
As the image forms I'll let it swallow up my mind
Time will pass I'll ask myself
"This is a joke...right?"

I see, I see, I see, I see
This world going in circles around, all around me
I'll end up mad before life is through with me
Guilty old...
I see, I see, I see, I see
This world going in circles around, alll around me
I'll end up mad before life is through with me

Thinking, I'm thinking thoughtless, but it sometimes seems
I think too much, too hard and it confuses me
I'll rectify myself to all the things I thought were real
Or I'll lock the bedroom door and simply stay at home

I see, I see, I see, I see
This world going in circles around, all around me
I'll end up mad before life is through with me
Guilty old...
I see, I see, I see, I see
This world going in circles around, alll around me
I'll end up mad before life is through with me
Guilty old me...

When I need a place to get away,
When I need a place to hide,
That place just seems oh so far away,
Couldn't get there if I tried.
Me and a young girl chasing mosquitoes,
Rolling down them grassy hills.
Put up a sign that said "No Vacancy",
Forget the world let time stand still

I take a train sister, a bus a brooking down Cheavy,
or a plane. I'd walk my sister just to see you there,
Just to see you again.

If I could think back and see this thing clearly,
If I could just remember when.
Of all the things I hold so dear to me,
I miss the people we were then.
And it seems that you were always there.
Like no one else you stood by me.
When you picked me up and cleaned me off,
Saw what not one else could see.

As far as I can see.'
Walking, walking, walking, away from me.'
And for all I know.
Demeanor gives it all away.'
Talking, talking, right over me.'
And for all I know.

Loosing it, getting older.'
Stay the same yet older.'
You don't get it like I do I heard that,
yeah that's what you said.'
Loosing it getting older.

Please take me far away.'
I don't know what to do.
I don't know where to go anymore best you just walk on by.

Feeling strange these days it true, creeping up from behind'
But let's just not jump off the bridge.'
Best you just walk on by.

Loosing it, it's gotten cold outside.'
I'm heading back you know I said goodnight.'
You don't get it like I do'
I heard that yeah that's what you said losing it getting older.

It'll find me'

Talk in sign, say something new
Talk in circles, nothing better to do
Message camouflage - same dead end
Please say just what he's saying
He ain't my friend.

Found him but in a world that's not his own
A world he'd hidden pretty well
Kicked up some stones and pulled some earth
He's stayin….He's stayin there
From a pile of modeling clay, he will build
Fasnioned in the likeness, of himself
Message camoflage same dead end


Please say just what he's saying
He ain't my friend.

Ready made and personas taken in
He got it the quick and easy way
As insidious as before - he's stayin…

Love is love is not his own

Cast out on clear blue water
Saw nothing out there at all at all
Picture a scene across to the other side
Saw nothing out there at all


Pack up some scant *possessions*
For this trip you'll take to find
what's right in front of you
So you'll need some help on well goodluck
good bye…


Take a look around you can't you see
walls are closing in
"I can't breathe" you say


So it goes. So far like taking flight
Near perfect, it feels like
Spoon fed, It's like bliss.
It's waning in and out and it
takes the air out like a centrifuge

Well I stepped off the train just the other day
I swore that I saw you
A younger man, a stronger man, but certainly the man
That you were at one time.


He stepped out of the station and into the sun
Thought that for sure
He would be meeting someone he would be meeting someone
Possibly the girl that he'd marry.


I thought at the time that I'd warn him
Of all that was to come
Since he'd commit the damage he'd do
And all along he was out on
Didn't do it but I wanted to
It's time once again to revive some old some new
If you don't mind that it's all the same
I'll never tell you.


If seem to to fade in, if you seem to fade out
Take no mind, I don't mind.

you boy aint nothing but trouble
the kind i aint seen in awhile
and i gotta get me out of here
dont go and ask crazy questions
like i maybe dont know what im doin
and i gotta get me out of here
the farthest thought and i simply thoguht things were right from now on here

so please dont laugh
and i wait out in the hallway
now diggin back its a big mistake
and one ive made before
and i would like to be out

you boy aint nothing but trouble
the kind i aint seen in awhile
and i gotta get me out of here
get me out of
get me out of
get me out of
get me out of
get me out of
get me out of
get me out of here

If I lie just a little
If I lie to appease
Will you show me a way without taking me along...
Becoats like a gloss
Those who beg to reason
I'll be that scared back first but just don't lose me

And I'm not like that, oh no not me
And I'm not like that, oh no not me

Now who likes moving backwards
And who cares for those who do
As long as when taking up one
They don't trap you

Now who likes moving backwards
And who cares for those who do
As long as when taking up one
They don't trap you

And I'm not like that, oh no not me
And I'm not like that, oh no not me

And I'm not like that, oh no not me
And I'm not like that, oh no not me

I'm not like that, oh no not me...

You never write
You never call
You just stand around and smile so happily
The government could never do
as worser things as you have done to me

Well I should cry
but I've done too much already I can't lie
cause you're better at that than I'll ever be
and it won't take us back to you and me
we are in love

You call me names
and you're never home
all I've got to show is a kiss in jowls
You talk too much
but not to me
there's so much of this love I've never seen

but I should cry
but I've done too much already
I can't lie
cause you're better at that than I'll ever be
and it won't take us back to you and me
we are in love

You dirty rat you broke my heart
I can't believe it went this far
did I believe that I blew out the spark

Now I gotta say before I get sick
I look alive but I feel dead
but as for us we're still good friends

well I should cry...
but I've done too much already
I can't lie
cause you're better at that than I'll ever be
and it won't take us back to you and me
we are in love

You dirty rat
I gotta say
you sure know how to wreck my day
you took the sun and walked away

and now I know just what you've found
and now its you who's next in line
but as for us it was the best of times

He's never caught one spy I'm told
He's never even caught a cold
Got his degree from Disneyland
He's the last of the secret agents
And he's my man

He's an underwhelming kind of sleuth
He thinks James Bond is some kind of suit
He's farther back than also ran
But he's the last of the secret agents
And he's my man

He'd come in third in a two-horse race
I've never had to slap his face
(What a shame)
Now people try to understand
He's the last of the secret agents
And he's my man

He's the last of the secret agents
And he's my man
He's the last of the secret agents
And he's my man

Now, here you go again, you say you want your freedom
Now, who am I to keep you down?
It's only right that you should play the way you feel and
Well, listen to carefully to the sound
Of the loneliness, like a heartbeat drives me mad
And the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost
And what you had
And what you lost

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean you'll know
You'll know

Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
It's only me who wants to wrap around your dreams and
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell
Dreams of loneliness, like a heartbeat drives me mad
And the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost
And what you had
And what you lost

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean you'll know

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean you'll know
You'll know

You will know
You'll know
You'll know
