"Didn't I"

"Didn't I"

When I spoke to you
i spit it out with honest tongue now
didn't i
and all i got from you
was this thread of hope that i hung to
didn't i
for all the times i could let go
i dangled there to let you know now
didn't i
then i spoke to you
and you took away what i clung to
oh didn't i
love you baby
baby
oh didn't i
love you baby
how long till i panic
how long do i wait

"Diet Of Strange Places"

"Diet Of Strange Places"

Starving, I've got this hunger
Growling from deep within
Carving an internal thunder
Oh a craving that wears me thin

Well, it's hard to ingest
So many faces
I get my fill but still
Those passersby
Leave me empty
On a diet of strange places
It all should enhance my senses
Tell me why
Does the spice of loneliness
Seem all but tasteless
And lays there
To haunt me from inside
And leaves me...

Many a trap
Are set and baited
From tension
Of temptation of the game
But ones who are fed
Are those who waited
Takes...
Leaves it curbed and tame
Only time'll find me home
And safely sated
But until that time I'll remain

"Don't Be A Lemming Polka"

"Don't Be A Lemming Polka"

I pin myself against the walls
Stationed like a horse in stall
Just wishing
They might call me art
There I hung in the hall
Collecting dust, that's all
It's all I needed to do

While in the corner, quite a size
He sits talking, whiskey-wise
Hopin' to throw me off
But no matter how he tries
I'll just look him in the eyes
It's all I need to do

That's all it took to see
I was wastin' time
It's all it took to see
I was walkin' the line
I'm going to ride high as can be
I look behind
And see them followin' me

So my friends don't delay
Unless of course
You'd rather stay
Lemming heads for the cliff
Found them up
They're going astray
Take the lead take the way
That's all that we need to do

That's all it took to see
I was wastin' time
It's all it took to see
I was walkin' the line
I'm going to ride high as can be
I look behind
And see them followin' me

I'm going to ride high as can be
I look behind
And see them followin' me

"Don't Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes"

"Don't Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes"

Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night
In daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Oh keep your heart for me
For someday I'll return
And you know (see) you're the only one
I'll ever love

Too many nights, too many stars
Too many moons could change your mind
If I'm gone too long
Don't forget where you belong
when the stars come out
Remember you are mine

Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night
In daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Oh keep your heart for me
For someday I'll return
And you know (see) you're the only one
I'll ever love

Too many miles, too many days
Too many nights to be alone
Oh please keep your heart
While we're apart
Don't linger in the moonlight
While I'm gone

Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night
In daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Oh keep your heart for me
For someday I'll return
And you know (see) you're the only one
I'll ever love

"Don't Smoke In Bed"

"Don't Smoke In Bed"

I left a note on the dresser
And my old wedding ring
These few goodbye words
How can I sing

Goodbye, old sleepy head
I'm packing you in like I said
Take care of everything
I'm leaving my wedding ring

[Chorus:]
Don't look for me
I'll get ahead
Remember, darling
Don't smoke in bed

[Repeat Chorus]

"Dream A Little Dream Of Me"

"Dream A Little Dream Of Me"

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me

Say "Night-ie night" and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

"Exactly Like You"

"Exactly Like You"

I know why I waited
Know why I've been blue
I've been waiting each day
For someone exactly like you

Why should I spend some money
On a show or two
When nobody sings these love songs
Exactly like you

You make me feel so grand
I wanna give this world to you
You make me understand
These foolish little dreams I'm dreaming
And schemes I'm scheming

Now I know why my mama
She taught me to be true
She knew just around the corner
Was somebody like you

You make me feel so grand
I wanna give this world to you
Baby you make me understand
These foolish little dreams I'm dreaming
And schemes I'm scheming

Now I know why my mama
She taught me to be true
She knew just around the corner
Yes she knew just around the corner
Was somebody like you

"Extraordinary Thing"

"Extraordinary Thing"

My ordinary days
are spent inside the maze
of never changing ways

such ordinary days
my ordinary spin
showed itself again

it never seemes to end

then you came waltzing in
waltzing in
i'm falling...
i'm falling in
i never knew
the likes of you

extraordinary thing
i do believe
you are indeed, an extraordinary thing
my ordinary game
predictable and plain
has never been the same
since you came waltzing
waltzing in
i'm falling...

"Fallen"

"Fallen"

The leaves have lost hold of the branches as always
And leaves us with gold and win colored pathways
In the same way I've
The same way I've fallen for you

You opened your arms like a school door to summer days
And opened my heard to the rumors of a higher place
Now where was I
Baby I've fallen for you

Love is always on the go
It never stays in one place
Day by day it changes and it grows
But you always recognize its face

Day by day it changes and it grows
But you always recognize its face

The leaves have lost hold of the branches as always
And leaves us with gold and wine colored pathways
In the same way I've
The same way I've fallen for you

Like the star in the night
Baby I've fallen for you

"Flame Of The Uninspired"

"Flame Of The Uninspired"

I spent a lifetime carving out my fate
Things I like, things I hate
My very nature is to criticize
And to cut myself down to size.

On the cusp of compromise
To living hell, I slipped and fell.
I'm in the corner licking off my wound
Loves come and go, all too soon

Looking back upon my life as such
And the remedies, they cost too much
Such a frail and fragile place
This egg and shell upon my face.

Fueled by desire
Wind adds to fire
Flame of the uninspired.

[Instrumental]

On the cusp of compromise
To living hell, I slipped and fell
Such a frail and fragile place
This egg and shell upon my face.

Fueled by desire
Wind adds to fire
Flame of the uninspired...
