Roll High

Looking out
At the big empty
Twilight and your mouth is dry
Took the desert for the sea
Dust in the distance
Low light, rattlin’ hum
Got your hat and your boots on baby
Thumb it like you wanna come
Oh you can fake it, but you can’t go clean
Welcome to the lonely highway, ain’t no silver screen
And there’s no direction, to where you’re gonna go
Just a house of your own erection, follow where the money flows
It’s the free land
Big racks, big guns
Hot stone, bleached white and blonde
Shadowed in the setting sun
And talk is cheap now
With your southern drawl
You can make it in the plastic jungle
Kitten’s got a lion’s claws.
Dance in the snake pit
Where the venom’s green
Put it all on the line each time
Running on their hollow dreams
No room for emotion
In the cold light show
You’re the idol of a base devotion
Screaming for that honey dough
Rolling into town
You try to shake it out
They’re gonna get you high, high, high
They know you’ve been around
So lay your cash down
Yeah you better roll high, high, high
Oh you can fake it, but you can’t go clean
Welcome to the lonely highway, ain’t no silver screen
And there’s no direction, to where you’re gonna go
Just a house of your own erection, follow where the money flows
Rolling into town
Try to shake it out
They’re gonna get you high, high, high
They know you’ve been around
So lay your cash down
Yeah you better roll high, high, high

Consume You

I looked back and I saw you calling after
Trying to run to me, oh but I ran faster
And soon your distant voice
Faded with the background noise
In a kaleidoscope of people you lost me forever
Or so I thought
But you were just around the corner catching up
I found an open door along your city streets
I slipped inside to hide in plain view of your heart
Still like a mannequin, my outstretched hand
You walked right by me
Oh you were window shopping for your own reflection
Consider this
Beyond your narcissistic gaze, the truth exists
Something reached up from the ground you stopped and looked down
In your own world was it enough to bring you back to this dimension
Consider, the beggar at your feet that isn’t me
Where have I run? Where have I run?
You looked back and you saw me waving after
Saying goodbye to you, avoiding your disaster
And soon your distant eyes
Faded with the city lights
You never thought this train would leave you alone at the station
Did you?
Don’t follow, oh just swallow down your pride
Something reached up from the ground you stopped and looked down
In your own world was it enough to bring you back to this dimension
Oh consider, the beggar … at your feet that isn’t me
Where have I run? Where have I run?

Move On
04:21

Well I wake up and try to face the day
Too much sunlight in my eyes
I reach for the pillow and pray for shades of gray
Thinking backward to the night
When I saw you as you danced your favorite song
And the band played on and on I fell headlong
For you
For you
I fell headlong for you
I think I’m struck numb
So I’ll sleep the day away
You said you’d meet me out tonight
In the failing light a signal time has come for me to run
Like a dream I fly down streets I’ve known to get
To you
To you
I just wanna get to you
Well I’m here now at the old hole west side of town
And I’m counting the minutes down
I sit at the bar and I stare at the door
Where the people come but you never show
Could it have been something new to live for?
When the lights go out I guess I’ll never know
But it’s okay
I guess it’s not meant to be anyway
Thank you for showing me your little slice of life
‘Cause we’re all pieces of each other.
The band will keep playing and the world will move on
I look to the stars and say as I’m going
Maybe tomorrow I won’t mind the sunlight
I’ll get right up and know it’s time to move on
Move on
Sometimes you just have to learn to move on…

Queen Of Imagination
05:17

On a spark of imagining she came
Her children staring at the sky
Turning shapeless clouds into castles and kings
A queen the sun her golden veil
And she walked among us
With every story told
Through all that we created
She spoke
My children
You’re all I am
By you I exist
So you must take care
Of my fragile heart
The queen she did impart
But through the years her golden rays
Became cold and shining coin and cloudless days
We replaced her beauty
With our money gods
And she passed to shadow
Her heart lost
Father, mother
You better look around
Sons, daughters
We pushed her under ground
Into caves that her children made
Each shallow thought we wrought that slowly brought her further down
Still a spark existed
And in her final hour
Our creations twisted
She devoured
Time, ticking
As we race to find her heart
Poison, sickens
But we dare not ever give up
Or we perish
And our imagination is the place she waits by grace we can live on
Oh it’s not your shadow
That follows on the ground
It’s her arms around you
Hear her now
My child, now it’s time
You must teach them how to create
The dream is just a web
An eternal thread that never ends

Take It On

The rain
Sat before the flame
Said it’s all in vain
Their time has come the price is all but paid
But right before the end comes
Climb aboard the ship my friends
We’ll sail among the wreckage of this broken garden
Please don’t let the tears betray
You all belong, she won’t steer you wrong
Her maiden voyage gone into the end of days
The rain
Dances with the flame
A lover’s wreath in smoke
They wanna breathe the ashes of our final hour
Oh within the beat of years gone by and by
Still the melody
Where our strength is spun in verse and chorus,
Sees her tattered sails are flying high
And we don’t fear
No we don’t fear the end because it’s ours to play
Come along
Yeah bring it on
It’s your move, darlin’ don’t run
See it through, we’ll make it our song …
Get this groove
It’s gotta be strong, so you’ll feel it like a freak monsoon (I’ll take it on)
Fall cause I’m callin out your demons too (I’ll take it on)
Long as we can party on our ship of fools
Going down together land in Kathmandu
I’ll take it on
Oh within the beat of years gone by and by
Still the melody
Where our strength is spun in verse and chorus,
Sees her tattered sails are flying high
And we don’t fear
No we don’t fear the end because it’s ours to play
Come along
Yeah bring it on
It’s your move, darlin’ don’t run
See it through, we’ll make it our song …
Get this groove
It’s gotta be strong, so you’ll feel it like a freak monsoon (I’ll take it on)
Fall cause I’m callin out your demons too (I’ll take it on)
Long as we can party on our ship of fools
Going down together land in Kathmandu
I’ll take it on
