Scratching on the surface
Yeah the walls are paper thin
I can hear the party going
Do I ask if I can join in?
Things were looking up but now
You won’t look me in the eye
Face down in bright lights till sunrise
One, two seconds till i’m locked into
The station of your mind
All the time
How I wonder if i’ll ever get to
To hold your hand in mine
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
I’m thinking of a number
That’s somewhere in between
A hundred and quarter
I caught it in a dream
You can send write a message
To anyone you please
Place an order from the Chinese
For a standing white neon tree
One, two seconds till i’m locked into
The station of your mind
All the time
How I wonder if i’ll ever get to
To hold your hand in mine
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
(‘lude)
One, two seconds till i’m locked into
The station of your mind
All the time
How I wonder if I’ll ever get to call you mine
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la

L I F E L I N E
Whenever I am lost I will call my love
On the phone, She’s my home
I’m never quite as tough everything’s a bluff on my own
Satisfy
the need to cry
It’s part of our design
Whenever I get tired from the daily grind
I feel owned, I get stoned
Coming around, her love is abound like a glow
Magnify
How we live and die
I’ll be another eye to remember you by
You will always
be my lifeline
Got a hundred problems with a hand in all the others
It’s true
But you don’t turn a blind eye, or forget to reply
Like they do
Be amplified
With your point of view
Nevermind, I’ll runaway with you
You will always be
my lifeline
Hometown
Do you hear me now
I’m calling out
i’m coming out
Right now yeah
Whenever I am lost I will call my love
On the phone, She’s my home
I’m never quite as tough everything’s a bluff on my own
Satisfy
the need to cry
It’s part of our design

W A N D E R I N G G O H S T
All my life
I’ve been looking for love
I never thought I deserved
Any more than your empathy
All this time
I’ve been seeking a thrill
Been getting my fill
But I had been empty
But I’m still feeling empty
And it follows me
This wandering ghost
This wandering
East to west
Giving my best
A cultural mess
Craving simplicity
When we don’t
See eye to eye
I cannot deny
A lapse in my clarity
It follows me
This wandering ghost
It follows me
Wherever I go
Where would you go?
Coast to coast
Now I’m out on the road
And missing you so
I’m lost in a fantasy
Full moon
Morning gloom
Early dawn
Breaking down
I fade into the light
I fade into the light
I fade into the light of a thousand suns
It follows me
This wandering ghost
It follows me
Wherever I go
Where do you
do you go?

I N D I G O S E P T E M B E R
Will you give me a tincture of sunshine
Yeah her laughter I think of in my mind
Like moods changing with the weather
I'm falling in love every summer
Pour me a rainbow of color
From Virginia, visible to her
Holding still and silent by the water
Listening over the chatter
Indigo September
Blooming leaves of green
I’m darker than December
A violet sea
Indigo September
Drifting through the breeze
Find me along mystic river
Up a cargo elevator
Chasing songs and musings of a dreamer
One foot in front of the other
Indigo September
Blooming leaves of green
I’m darker than December
A violet sea
When we are together
Drifting through the breeze
Oh I drift into a dream
Sun sets in candy skies
Over and over again
Sleeping through pouring rain
Over and over again

Won't Be Losing Sleep

W O N' T B E L O S I N G S L E E P
Breathing slow, I’m shivering
My state of mind
Sings like a violin
Sharp whistling
Or rambling
Like a record, old and broken
Beyond what’s physical
My hands are tied
You’re untouchable
Invisible
Miserable
I won’t give in to this feeling
Don’t lose sight
Oh, She promises nothing to me
Now love is my only reprieve
Oh I won’t, no, I won’t be losing sleep
We’re packing pockets full
Of quizzical information
We’re humans of wireless conviction
Abusers who cannot refuse
Throw your pride away, break all the rules
Or put up a fight
Oh, She promises nothing to me
And now love is my only reprieve
I won’t, no, I won’t be losing
Letting go of the things we know
I’m chasing them down at speed of sound
Flesh and bone, or a slow disown
Living on and on and on in olden stone
(violin solo)
She stays alive
In the back of her mind
With a soul like leather
Defensive and worn
Oh, some families weather the storms
Some alone where some don’t belong
Be strong
