Hamster Wheel
You're a Hamster, caught in a wheel
youre a dancerwithout any feel
youre like plaster round a festering wound
you better wake up its already noon
Refrain: I dont want to go outside, I only like it when the sky is grey
Sun goes up
Sun comes down
You put your shoes on, and decide to lay down
Ceiling looks good from here, down on the floor
laying in the grooves you wore
Refrain
Sun's been beating down for a while, warm breeze whipping through
your red hair is dancing wild, cute smile to boot
I wish i could stay for a while, and get to know you
but I'm sorry my dear, I gotta do what I always do
Refrain
Lilacs in the Spring
A breath of fresh air after ages inside,
with brown eyes you looked at me,
dark like the earth that drank rain all night
just to kiss the sun blistering
you said you liked my fiddle, you liked my blue eyes
that made me feel pretty neat
but you said you had to go, when the sun did rise
you've got too many sites to see
Chorus:
Well i picked a bouquet just for you
and in about an hour or two
it withered in the summer sun
and you left, like you said you would
Wind off the mountain carried cedar and pine
and candy in the breeze
bound to come and go, just like being alive
and lilacs in the spring
Chorus
A breath of fresh air after ages inside,
you sand the sweetest song to me
life's too short, how the hell can you hide
from the person you want to be
Chorus
Stand in the Rain
Trees swaying in the wind,nowhere to go
no rush, no need, no care
breeze smells like a day, when i was a kid
I can taste the life in the air
Somwhere along the way, I learned how to run
About as fast as I was scared
but out here the wind whips wild around me
and today I choose not to care
Chorus:
Yes ill stand
Yes ill stand here in the rain x2
Rain falls heavy through a thick canopy
trees cry an aching moan
sun grows dark as day turns to night
but tonight I dont feel so alone
Chorus
Trees swaying in the wind,nowhere to go
no rush, no need, no care
breeze smells like a day, when i was a kid
I can taste the life in the air
Chorus
Tattered Blinds
Sunlight peaks through tattered blinds
Illuminates your sleeping face
and just beyond shadows dance aroudn the room
2pm on a Monday
Your coffee's cold, you never seem to drink it
even though you say you have the taste
Clock's been out for about a week or two
Should we let this one go to waste?
Chorus:
Im tired of sleeping the days away
this house is too damn cold
Id light a fire but Im afraid,
well sit here and grow old
I should prolly go
I picked up every photo tween the two of us
Put it in my guitar case
I gotta find a match and this mornings paper
only ash in the fireplace
Chorus
I feel your weight on me
your hair is all i see
cant quite tell, is this a dream?
but your aparments cold, turn off the air conditioning
Chorus
Torn Sails
[excessive instrumental intro]
April rain melts winters snow
leaves a sheet of ice
many poor souls have fallen in
lost through the night
Refrain:
You said you want nothing from me
You said I'm better off at sea
You said you love another
And have a brand new family
[instrumental once again]
Storms are growing in western skies
Im too far from shore
Sails torn from last nights wind
I guess ill paddle more
Refrain
[out]
