California
November skies
Reflect the saddest eyes
Blue, white and grey
The clouds, the clouds in my coffee
New York you're fine
But New York couldn't make us happy
But California, California...
Make us happy...
December's highs
Let's drink and drink and drown
Disintegrate
Bad words, bad thoughts disappear with the rain
New York you're fine
But New York couldn't make us happy
But California, California...
Make us happy...
The Last One Standing
Merging the way
That we did yesterday, wrong direction
The traffic we'll know
The traffic is slow, and thoughtless
The wheel it is still, on the concrete and green, way home
And it is alone
A division unknown, a split decision
Climbing the floors and I'm not running
Through revolving doors and you're not driving
The barrier stands between your hands and me
Sorry
You said I made
You said, you said I made a bad decision
Said I made a mistake
Fatal without recognition
But how would I know
Know of the consequence, had I first seen
Back issue of Fate
How California hates
Had I not been
Closing the doors and I am running
Past video stores and you are driving
A battery stands between your hands and me
Sorry
You have got to be the last one standing...
Sargasso Sea
Beautiful friend
Swimming to shore
To the island we made
Stretched over sand
Through Sargasso Sea
Ruled by your heart
Off with our heads
Still holding hands
Beyond the line
Out of the frame
Beautiful friend
Spirits remain
Time's Arrow
Delusion
You can't count on time
Like a snake
It weaves its way around
Some days high
Some days low to the ground
Time's arrow born with a bang
Time's arrow glides through your heart
Time's arrow never looks back
Precision
You try and pin down time
A caesium fountain
Replacing grains of sound
Atomic clouds set clocks
That track you down
Time's arrow born with a bang
Time's arrow glides through your heart
Time's arrow never looks back
Time's arrow born with a bang
Time's arrow glides through your heart
