Never a heaven an age old question
Written from a cold place
I feel sour I need a shower
Or just a slap in the face
Circumstance has left romance
And a puzzle in front of me
Who knows the ending, if the truth need
bending, A lie is the tool that you'll need

chorus

So I'm under a mountain
Stuck to this mattress
Perfume and valium

What makes a Sunday different from Monday
Could be a look in her eyes
In need of flattery she changes batteries
So that her light will shine
The words she utters either so flows or
stutters
They're either silly or wise
Anger with concern
But never to yearn
Only to be by your side

Lay down with number 13
Its a cold gray shame


. . .



We've been avoiding this for so long
Luxury is temporary than it's gone
I thought that we would happen
I guess I'm wrong
We'll move along
I know this will be awkward
but not for long
Cause soon you'll have a new boy
to sing you songs

chorus

I will not forgive you
Nor will I accept the blame
I will see you on Good Friday
On Good Friday

I'm sorry I couldn't do this yesterday
and tomorrow I am busy and what
it is I can't say
And Saturday's no good
LyricsI got a show
So it's got to be Good Friday
Then it's so long

bridge

You, You come and go when you please
I know unfulfilled heads
I know you do too
But I, you know I never see
things through,
Never paid attention to you
But honey I tried


. . .



Nebakanzer never knew
He left his needle outside in the rain
And it rusted through
He had twenty-nine blackbirds
but only one flew
Spent most of his time making holes
And licking his wounds
Nebakanezer lost his wife
She took her diamond rings and was
gone before the light
She left one satin shoe and a
very dull knife
She left one satin shoe and a very dull knife

chorus

So tell us what the sorry singer
might do
All of his friends complain
That they got the flu
They ain't sick in the head
They look like the living dead
And that's not cool

Repeat 1st verse


. . .



From the moment you see
the moment you breath
the moment I touch you

From the moment you crawl
the moment you fall
the instant I loved you again

From the moment of darkness
the moment of light
the second I kissed you

From the moment I enter
the moment I leave
In this moment of rapture

chorus

One mirror to many gonna tie you up
A life forever empty has got to be tough
To many starless night gonna leave you blind
Can never make it right

From the moment you stumble
the moment you run
In your presence I crumble
From the moment it happens
the moment you know
There's no life without you


. . .



Hey Blackberry, How you taste so sweet
Hey Blackberry, tell me what you see
tell me is it interesting
Hey Blackberry pay some attention to me
Hey Blackberry look at my bumblebee
Hey Blackberry you know he never stings
And he only hums for me

chorus

I need some L-O-V-E-N to make me happy
You got to be L-U-C-K-Y to git
with a girl like Blackberry

Hey my cherry,coming up my street
Hey my cherry, you make it hard to breath
look what you've done to me
Hey my cherry, be sure to keep your nose clean


. . .



With a pawnshop eyes and a second hand frown
she sat silent at the table
Her boots were brown, should she leave town
To play the role of lover ex-patriot
A nod to the waiter,always her flirty behavior,
You know she always gets one on the house
She pulls out a letter from a bag
Under her sweater and before she
reads she straightens her blouse

There's a passion in being alone A grace in a loveless time
There's no new cross, there's no new sign
only the sun and the changing tide

And out of respect, well really must confess
I never lost your number I never
lost your address
And if we remain friends at best
Sometime later no, no not yet
we'll smile and remember it like this

She put back the letter,one tear
falls like a feather and disappears
on this bar room floor
The gratuity included, you know
the letter concluded

P.S. All my love


. . .



You could be so energy
Electricity
You could be lightening
You could be anything
A masterpiece
A revolutionary
You can see what, you want to see
Can you let it be?
Learn or teach

chorus

I'm only halfway to everywhere

I'm thinking positively
Positively
This is possible
They can say right or wrong
Never hear this song
Or look you in the eye
I'm getting rid of negativity
Lose the loss in me
Call it equality
Good luck is a frame of mind
Call it humankind
And say it's destiny


. . .



What could I do different?
It makes one sober to think
In an age of illusion
It's hard to know when to stop
How could I live indifferent
Believing in time and fate
As long as I have a witness
My name is not at stake

chorus

Bring on this flowering
Bring on, Bring on
Bring on this flowering
Bring on thou words cannot describe
It's hard waiting for heaven
May your song keep you alive

chorus

And on the day I said good-bye
My drowning tear catches a light
Like the gift of sight
The baby's eye, darkness into light
I can rest my soul and
walk in the light
I'm positively spring time
The gift of sight
The baby's eye
Darkness into light


. . .



How much for your wings?
How much for your wings?
Well it comes and it goes
How much for your wings?
And it's high and low
How much for your wings?
I can name a price
How much for your wings?
Many forget their pride

chorus

If I were you and and you were me
we'd know
And could it be what you perceive
is wrong?
And what I mean what wrong could be
I don't know
I'm not naive but I believe
So I may grow

How much for your wings?
The soul you kiss good-bye
How much for your wings?
Watch the stars collide

How does it feel
When you're the only one?


. . .



Hey there buddy
Slow down for me
I'm friendly and I'm clean
I will not rob you or cause you misery
Your wheels sound good to me
I ain't green with travel
As you can see
I only got one bag
If I am trouble drop me off
In Abilene
I'll pay my gasoline

chorus

Let me share the ride
Let me share the ride

It's hard living on travel time
Please let me share your ride

I never was a young man
LyricsNever felt old
This life is a mystery
My coffee's hot not cold
I'll turn your dashboard gold
Slow down take a look at me

I'm not not running from anything
I've no past to hide
I've got no secrets haunting me
I just easy ride


. . .



I love you in the worst way
The only way I know
They say the clearer the water
The more that it shows
They say the deeper the river
The stronger the love
Your eyes don't lie to me
And your smile is worth its weight in gold

Chorus

This Life, this life aches
and this life moans
This life is great, this life is great
And it's better when you're
not alone,
not alone

You love me in the worst way
The only way you know
They say the higher the mountain
LyricsThe more love that grows
They say the stronger the wind blows
The farther we'll go
I hope you don't lie to me
There's nothing better than your
touch

How many times does this happen two people
like us meet
As I try to be humble and lay
down at your feet


. . .



This is illegal
Thru an evil eye
And I won't deceive you
This I testify
You all know the reason why
I won't enslave you

A little bliss forever
I'm not afraid to love you
A little bliss forever

Chorus

Look at the world with an evil eye
Your cold heart won't let you cry
Try to make a change in the wink of an eye
Do you have it in you to even try?

Jesus can't save you
Though it's nice to think he'd try
This is not to scare you
This is to make sense of your time
Do prophets speak in rhymes?
Then you die!


. . .

You jump jump here

You wiggle wiggle here

You wiggle wiggle wiggle everywhere
Then you mellow down easy
Mellow down easy
You mellow down easy when you really wanna blow your top
