This Fascination
Just a little bit of lovin’ and I’m putty in your hands
If you want me to take care of you
I know you’ll understand
I don’t need diamonds don’t need riches but I’ll surely tell you this
I’m gonna need your cup o sugar come and give a girl a kiss.
Just a little conversation turns your water into wine
Treat me good the way you should
And you’ll have it all the time
Don’t you wonder maybe fantasize why I dress like this?
Don’t be shy or superstitious come and give a girl a Kiss.
This fascination I know isn’t so ordinary
This fascination I know isn’t so ordinary
This fascination I know isn’t so
This fascination…
Just a little invitation and you’ve got me on the wire
We’ll do some dancing and romancing how I’ll set your soul on fire.
Don’t you listen to their bitchin’ come and get you some of this…
I know your itchin’ boy you’re itchin’
come on! Give a girl a kiss!
This fascination I know isn’t so ordinary
This fascination I know isn’t so ordinary
This fascination I know isn’t so
This fascination – it could be fun.

What Burns in Me

What burns in me
Things seem a little different around here or maybe it’s just me
It all looks the same, it sounds the same it feels the same here
So yes, I guess it’s just me.
I’ve been sitting on my ass here, for three years come this May
I got to stir it up make a brand new start gotta do something besides just
Cutting off all my hair.
You see,
I can tell you everything but you wont see what’s inside me
And I can’t live this life knowing he’s got nothing planned for me
And I won’t let you in cuz I don’t want your sympathy
No you will never see
What burns in me.
If I keep running will I get somewhere
Will I make someone finally out of me?
We’re all covered up with all this shit we tell ourselves is real
Course, the only thing that’s real
Is how I feel
We’re all sterilized and compromised and paralyzed and then televised and I
I want to believe
There’s good above and bad below and the in between
Well I don’t know
Is there a God here, well I don’t think so.
You see
I can tell you everything but you wont see what’s inside me
And I can’t live this life knowing he’s got nothing planned for me.
And I won’t let you in cuz I don’t want your sympathy
No you will never see
What burns in me.

Planted

Planted
Don't want to feel all the pressure
My mouth is dry as a bone
Just want to be here and get higher
Water my roots and let me grow.
I keep this pilot burning
The one that fuels my fire
That keeps my world going round
And while this world keeps turning
I know I must be learning something
At least how to keep firmly planted in the ground.
Hacking through all these weeds
To find the one who needs watering, I'm rationing
I feel and hear my hunger that keeps me buried under
The earth but I believe my roots are coming loose.
Am I planted, planted am I in need of roots and water
Am I starving losing roots and water.
Don't want to worry about one day drowning
Cracking under so much pressure mounting
Don't want to worry about what you're thinking
But i'll be anyone to keep from sinking
Back down, back down, back down into the ground.
Am I planted, planted am I in need of roots and water
Am I starving losing roots and water.
Am I planted, planted am I?

My Stars

My Stars
Lay here watching my stars passing by
So familiar like echo’s in the sky
On the outside there is a wind to brush my cheek
If only inside I may climb my highest peak.
Where do you go so quickly
Do you run and hide?
I’ll wait while my heart is breaking
To see you one last time
Just to see you one last time.
Now remembering my stars they’ve come and gone
So restless like a dog that’s lost his bone
Far above me I try and comprehend
Why I would die here if I can’t see my stars again.
Where do you go so quickly
Do you run and hide?
I’ll wait while my heart is breaking
To see you one last time
Just to see you one last time.
Not forgotten is this where my story ends?
Dreams forsaken and the one’s that don’t transcend
Tails and entrails and the shimmer light and spark
Just like the lover you left broken in the dark.
Where do you go so quickly
Do you run and hide?
I’ll wait while my heart is breaking
To see you one last time
Just to see you one last time.
Just to see you one last time.
Just to see you one last time.

The Longest Day

The Longest Day
Before the rain
Hurry and make it to shelter
It must be the hottest day in July.
The fires burn and our words
They lie guilty of kindling
Easy now let it rain.
Hypnotized time keeps the pendulum swinging
Our weary eyes on the ball
With loosened grips, through our hands
Grains of sands we are slipping
Come on now just let it fall
Come on now let it fall.
Raining all day and all night
Now comes the merciless dawn
Forcing herself to be noticed
Like the chess board pawn
Before the dawn
Gather your things for departure
Your 5:09 is right on time
The waking eyes moving like ghosts through the station
And heavy hearts that rise up like smoke to the sky
The longest day in July.
Clearing and blaming the night
Now your so tired and drawn
The sycamores lined up in judgment
On our own front lawn
Lay down your arms and surrender this love is gone.

Nashville Love Song (Love, Love, Love)
If a line could save me if it were so easy
Would it be you saving me?
I could let you court me with flowers ask me
And I might say you can take me home
Don’t listen to a word I say don’t ask if you can stay
You walk away just close your eyes
If a heart could save mine I’d say to save time
Wont you please just save yourself.
Love, love, love - I’m not gonna do it
Love, love, love - Don’t even hold my hand
Love, love, love – I won’t fall back into it
Love, love, love - Just turn away and say you understand.
Remote, resisting my distance might seem
Like I don’t care or I’m not trying
Untallied pieces I find in all kinds of places
On the inside I’m still crying
Don’t show me your sweet face or tell me everything will be ok
You just walk away and close your eyes
If I let you save me I know it’d save you
But you’ve got to let me save myself.
Love, love, love - I’m not gonna do it
Love, love, love - Don’t even hold my hand
Love, love, love – I won’t fall back into it
Love, love, love - Just walk away and say you understand.
Don’t show me your sweet face or tell me everything will be ok
You just walk away and close your eyes
Even though you’ve thrown the line you can’t save this broken heart of mine
So save yourself the time and say you haven’t fallen for me
If it were easy I’d let you love me
I’d tell you that I’ve fallen for you too.
Love, love, love - I’m not gonna do it
Love, love, love - Don’t even hold my hand
Love, love, love – I won’t fall back into it
Love, love, love - Just look at me and say you understand.

Make You My Lover

Make you my lover
See you through the window I know you’re alone
I’m thinking about you about bringing you home
I’d make you see how happy we’d be
I would make you my lover.
I would keep you a mama raising all of our girls
You’d show all the strangers I buy you the diamonds and pearls
I’d make it be true and you would see too
I will make you my lover.
You say it’s the way – you say you’re here to stay
You know I’ll make you mine it just may take a little time
Is it a game, this love that you proclaim
The fear that’s in my eyes is that love that you recognize
From the eyes of your mother?
You say it’s the way – you say you’re here to stay
You know I’ll make you mine it just may take a little time
Is it a game, this love that you proclaim
The fear that’s in my eyes is that love that you recognize
From the eyes of the others?
I know I could help you turn your black heart to red
I could point you to Jesus turn you righteous instead
Of living unwed just a whore in your bed
I take you as my lover.
I don’t want to hurt you but you’re love’s gone astray
These hands are just God’s hands showing you the way
And we all must obey or we’re all gonna pay
The price of my lover.

Ghosts of You

Ghosts of you
I know you’ve come and gone but I still see
the remnants of you here.
As big as the world is round the feeling is heavier still.
You can’t blame the setting sun for the darkness
Or be defied by the blind mans eyes
And you can’t blame me for the ghosts inside.
The sun it disappears taken by the night
Blindly, silent, floating, lonely satellite.
There’s only time and space creating our tapestry maze.
Breathing the wind and fire concealing your skeleton cage.
I can’t blame the sky above for the vastness
Because the most there is, is the least I fear
But the ghosts of you never disappear.
The one who breaks apart fracturing the bone
Brutal, quiet, changing, turning me to stone.
I can’t blame you and I can’t blame me
for hanging onto the ghosts keep haunting me.
The one who disappears slips outside of view
Wanting, blaming, needing all the ghosts of you.

Stranger

Stranger
Cornered again did I stray too far from me
You are like a foreign land
A place I’ve never seen, a place I’ve never been.
Touch of a stranger’s hand leading me astray
Stepped into foreign land where it’s dangerous to stay
I followed you in and saw underneath
The cuts raw you’re skin deep
I breathed you in and savored your taste before I breathed you out
Was only testing the water I went down I went under
I never felt so far away from me
Than when I was with you.
Back up again, if I could rewind, who are you again?
You are like a foreign land
Fun for a while until I want to go.
Touch of a stranger’s hand leading me astray
Stepped into foreign land where it’s dangerous to stay
I followed you in and saw underneath
The cuts raw you’re skin deep
I breathed you in and savored your taste before I breathed you out
Was only testing the water I went down I went under
I never felt so far away from me
Than when I was with you.

You're Lost
04:52
|

You’re Lost
There’s beauty in all kinds of places
From behind the lens of your naked eye
And deceit can be found in all the pretty faces
And together they can paint you a sweet little lie
Then they fill the pages of your magazine
And you broadcast for the whole wide world to see
With the spin and shuffle and mirrors and hustle and all the smoke that’s blown
Even you are fooled by the pictures you’ve painted of me.
And you’re lost, you’re lost, you’re lost, you’re lost
Inside your magazine
You’re lost, you’re lost, you’re lost, you’re lost
Inside your magazine.
There’s hunger in the eyes of the wanting
Such a burning desire to capture what you see
But only sorrow after all this hunting
Then you fill in the blanks and make it everything you need
Then you turn the page of your magazine
Oh how I wish they were true
Lord, I spent so much time so many hours so many days helping you with this scheme
So yes I guess it’s true I was spinning this story with you.
Now I’m lost, I’m lost, I’m lost, I’m lost
Inside your magazine
I’m lost, I’m lost, I’m lost, I’m lost
You’re wearing my heart out there on your sleeve
You’re walking the world by the hand down to your land of make-believe
You toss me down the rabbit hole
Winding and spinning how far does this go
You put me in your magazine, I say,
Is this the bed of your pick up truck or the back of a limousine?
We’re lost, we’re lost, we’re lost, we’re lost
Inside your magazine
We’re lost, we’re lost, we’re lost, we’re lost
Inside your magazine.

Sex With You
When I'm alright feeling good inside
And the day divides, see it in your eyes
And the lights go down
And you come around
I have no doubt this is what we're about
Yeah I want so badly
Yeah I want so badly
Yeah I want so badly to...
And I don't want to talk, cuz I don't want to fight
There is no yesterday today I feel alright
And our problems die
And we take our time
I have no doubt this is all we're about
Yeah I want so badly
Yeah I want so badly
Yeah I want so badly to...

All Of Us Here

All Of Us Here
A fling we had for over three hundred years
We swallowed and gobbled up all that we found
When it’s gone and the fires and floods expose you
We’ll beat and batter your sensitive ground.
Divided we decided to push aside our fear
Even challenge the very soil beneath our feet
As far as narrow eyes can see people are just like me
With every breath a little piece we deplete.
With all of us, all of us here to feed
All of us, all of us here.
With all of us, all of us here to feed
Eaten up by all our greed.
The wheel that turns and brings it all back again
Something will give and we all will fall
As big as giants or small as grains of sand
I can’t believe we’re even here at all
It’s hard to believe we’ve come this far.
With all of us, all of us here to feed
All of us, all of us here.
With all of us, all of us here to feed
Eaten up by all our greed.
Reality brought to you by satellite
Parading and displayed amid the noise
For miles and generations we’re a lot alike
Like spoiled kids with all our broken toys.
We duplicate & replicate how we love to procreate
The more of us and more of us at last
The punishing the ravaging can’t you see it’s vanishing
How in the world are we all going to last?
With all of us, all of us here to feed
All of us, all of us here.
With all of us, all of us here to feed
Eaten up by all our greed.
