16 Shades Of Blue

16 Shades Of Blue


Are you telling me it's over disintegrating lost and there's nothing I can do
Before you drop another verbal bomb, can I arm myself
With Cezanne's 16 shades of blue

As my heart is slowly ripping into pieces
Disconnecting from the circuits of my mind
"You'll get over it" you say "in time"
In time?
If the clocks are black absorbing everything but
A remembering how we made it that
Clocks are black

You say "get over it if 50 is the new black, hooray this could be your lucky day"
But my cables they are surging almost over loading as you disengage

Could your heart be slowly ripping into pieces
Disconnecting from the circuits of your mind
"We'll get over it" you say "in time"
In time?
If the clocks are black absorbing everything but
A remembering how we made it that
Clocks are black

"That's it you're done.
You've screwed up your life"
Before you've begun
There are those who say
I am now too old to play

See over there at 33 she fears she'll lose her job
Because they hear the ticking of her clock
At only 15 I said 15, they say her future's bleak
She should have started this at 3

As her heart is slowly ripping into pieces
Disconnecting from the circuits of her mind
"She'll get over it" you say "in time"
In time? stop Father Time
If the clocks are black absorbing everything but
A remembering how we made it that
How our clocks are black

Before you drop another verbal bomb
Can I arm myself
With Cezanne's 16 shades of blue

500 Miles

500 Miles


He walked 300 miles
Just to bring, to bring me bread
His body like a sculpture
Almost decorated

And I'll wake him
As the dawn does
And we'll break in
On the bus
Saying this was
Made for us and love

In lovers' communion
For 500 miles
And in 500 miles
Will he break, bring me again
In lovers' communion
For 500 miles
And in 500 miles
Will we break, even break

Step it up
Grab your phone
Get your suitcase
There's no time to waste
A big adventure awaits

Sad news, France
Suffered a late snow
The blooms break through the ice
In San Francisco
A guitar man finally confessed
He loved that actress
Hearts touched by frost, we fought
In the land of the midnight sun
I lost myself
I lost myself

I walk 300 miles
Just to bring, to bring him bread
In love some gifts are simple
Of those I am derated
So I wake him as the dawn does
And we'll face what any lovers must
Blueness pales within a flame's lust

In lovers' communion
For 500 miles
And in 500 miles
Will he break, bring me again
In lovers' communion
For 500 miles
And in 500 miles
Will he break
Even break
Will we break, even break
Break, even break
Does love
Don't we

Make life even
Break

'97 Bonnie And Clyde

'97 Bonnie And Clyde


Baby your da-da loves you
And I'm always gonna be here for you
No matter what happened
You're all I got in this world
I'd never give you up for nothin'
Nobody in this world is ever gonna keep you from me
I love you

C'mon Hai-Hai, we goin to the beach
Grab a couple of toys and let da-da strap you in the car seat
Where's mama? She's takin a little nap in the trunk
Oh that smell -- da-da musta runned over a skunk

Now I know what you're thinkin - it's kind of late to go swimmin
But you know your mama, she's one of those type of women
That do crazy things, and if she don't get her way, she'll throw a fit
Don't play with da-da's toy knife, honey, let go of it
And don't look so upset, why you actin bashful?
Don't you wanna help da-da build a sand castle?

And mama said she wants to show you how far she can float
Don't worry about that little boo-boo on her throat
It's just a little scratch - it don't hurt
Her was eatin dinner while you were sweepin and spilled ketchup on her shirt
Mama's messy isn't she? We'll let her wash off in the water
Me and you can pway by ourselves, can't we?

Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Just the two of us

See honey -- there's a place called heaven and a place called hell
There's a place called prison and a place called jail
And da-da's probably on his way to all of em except one
Cause mama's got a new husband and a stepson
And you don't want a brother do ya?
Maybe when you're old enough to understand a little better I'll explain it to ya
But for now we'll just say mama was real real bad
She was bein mean to dad and made him real real mad
But I still feel sad that I put her on time-out
Sit back in your chair honey, quit tryin to climb out
I told you it's okay HaiHai wanna ba-ba take a night-night? Nan-a-boo, goo-goo ga-ga?
Her make goo-goo ca-ca? Da-da change your dia-dee
Clean the baby up so her can take a nighty-nighty
Your dad'll wake her up as soon as we get to the water
Ninety-seven Bonnie and Clyde, me and my daughter
Me and my daughter
Me and my daughter

Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Just the two of us

Wake up sweepy head we're here
Before we pway we're gonna take mama for a wittle walk along the pier
Baby, don't cry honey, don't get the wrong idea
Mama's too sweepy to hear you screamin in her ear
That's why you can't get her to wake, but don't worry
Da-da made a nice bed for mommy at the bottom of the lake
Here, you wanna help da-da tie a rope around this rock?
We'll tie it to her footsie then we'll roll her off the dock
Ready now, here we go, on the count of free
One.. two.. free.. oh-weeeeeee
There goes mama, splashin in the water
No more fightin with dad, no more restraining order
No more step-da-da, no more brother
Blow her kisses bye bye, tell mommy you love her
Now we'll go play in the sand, build a castle and junk
But first, just help dad with two more things out the trunk

Just -- the two - of us

A Case Of You

A Case Of You


Just before our love got lost you said
"I am as constant as the northern star"
And I said, "Constantly in the darkness
Where's that at
If you want me I'll be in the bar"
On the back of a cotton coaster
In the blue T.V. screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice

In my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Well, I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time you told me
"Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time

My blood
My holy wine
Tastes so bitter and so sweet
Well I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said, "Go to him, stay with him
But be prepared to bleed"

My blood
My holy wine
Tastes so bitter and so sweet
Well I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

A Happy Day

A Happy Day


It's a happy day
For the water bugs have melt away
Not a bird is sitting in it's tree
Not a he, she, it or me
It's a happy day
Letter gate has sprung away
Taking all the floods to sea
Leaving Uncle Sam and he
He was an air force man
Flyin' in all the news
She was his only queen
Nothing really left to lose
Yes, he was an air force man
Flyin' in all the news
She was his only queen
Nothing really left to lose

It's a happy day
For the world has come to stay
Not a creature sleeps today
The world will not go away

It's a happy day
Let us dream and sleep tonight
Of the world in it's plight
'Cause I need top top find
Yes, he was an air force man
Flyin' in all the news
She was his only queen
Nothin' really left to lose
She was his only girl
She called him Pop Crackle
He was her only pearl
Flying out of Tanger Sound

It's a happy day
We are here to gather to stay
Not a person will keep us away
Our life is the greatest today

It's a happy day
This could go on all night
Let us bed by bright moonlight,
And have a good, good, good night

A Sorta Fairytale

A Sorta Fairytale


On my way up north
Up on the Ventura
I pulled back the hood
And I was talking to you
And I knew then it would be
A life long thing
But I didn't know that we
We could break a silver lining
And I'm so sad
Like a good book
I can't put this
Day back
A sorta fairytale
With you
A sorta fairytale
With you
Things you said that day
Up on the one o one
The girl had come undone
I tried to downplay it
With a bet about us
You said that
You'd take it
As long as I could
I could not erase it
And I'm so sad
Like a good book
I can't put this
Day back
A sorta fairytale
With you
A sorta fairytale
With you
And I ride along side
And I rode along side
You then
And I rode along side
Till you lost me there
In the open road
And I rode along side
Till the honey spread
Itself so thin
For me to break your bread
For me to take your word
I had to steal it
And I'm so sad
Like a good book
I can't put this
Day back
A sorta fairytale
With you
A sorta fairytale
With you
I could pick back up
Whenever I feel

Down New Mexico way
Something about
The open road
I knew that he was
Looking for some Indian blood and
Find a little in you find a little
In me we may be
On this road but
We're just
Impostors
In this country you know
So we go along and we said
We'd fake it
Feel better with
Oliver Stone
Till I
Almost smacked him
Seemed right that night and
I don't know what
Takes hold
Out there in the
Desert cold
These guys think they must
Try and just get over on us

And I'm so sad
Like a good book
I can't put this
Day back
A sorta fairytale
With you
A sorta fairytale
With you
And I was ridin' by
Ridin' along side
For a while till you lost me
And I was ridin' by
Ridin' along till you lost me
Till you lost
Me in
The rear
View
You lost me
I said
Way up North I took my day
All in all was a pretty nice
Day and I put the hood
Right back where
You could taste heaven
Perfectly
Feel out the summer breeze
Didn't know when we'd be back
And I I don't
Didn't think
We'd end up like
Like this

Abbey Road

Abbey Road


Running down Abbey Road
Don't stop the ocean
I need to feel a tidal wave
So close
So close to a family way
To a family way
Don't stop bringing her around
See how tough I can be
When you're making me smile sweetly
Don't keep bringing her around
I need to see
See the changing of the leaves
Of the guard
Of your guitar
As it's leaving
Running down Abbey Road
No shoes
It's colder than Bermuda
Colder than my days in the sugar cane
And Johnny man, be as quick as you can
I said Johnny man, we know you like Haley Mills
Like those boys are singing still
Catch me if you can
Oh, catch me if you can
Be my sugar cane
My
Running down Abbey Road
I know I thought we'd almost be
In the family way
I guess not today
I guess not today

Abnormally Attracted To Sin

Abnormally Attracted To Sin


I remember those days
When we went with my friends
To the Eden parties
Yaldaboth drunk a martini
Mary Magdalene in bikini
And Sister Ernestine was dancing on the cube
She was drunk half naked
And said take the juicy apple
And They said me that sentence in loop
Now I think They wanted me out of the group
And I think why no, I said
Everybody knows that my holy bible misses some page

Abnormally attracted to sin
How I am sexy
Abnormally attracted to sin
When I see me I'm in love again
I'm attracted to the botox
That makes me sexy and sexy again
And to all my surgeons staff

Bad times
When I could move my face in all the directions
Please smile just when you have not other options
My doctors said. And I did
Mary Magdalene went on extreme makeover (over over)
And now she makes a show in saint Marie de la mer (mer mer)
And I'm just attracted but so attracted girls again to sin
That's my profession

Abnormally attracted to sin
Can you believe it?
Abnormally attracted to sin
As the cell and the code pin
Attracted tovtrasgression
So They pull my face so much and so much
I seem a Chinese lady
Like a bull, bull, bull
In a sexy shop, shop, shop
Cause I'm so sexy that more sexy "no, I can't"
And I'm abnormally attracted to sin

Act Of War (Accuracy Unknown)

Act Of War (Accuracy Unknown)


This ain't no battle honey, this ain't no fight,
How come you take it so hard when I stay out all night,
If I take a drink, is that against the law,
And if I have a good time, do you call that an act of war,

Well you better believe it boy, this house is your home,
I didn't build it up for you to live here on my own,
And if you think it's easy to forget about me,
You'd better think twice, you'd better believe it's an act of war,


We're living on the front line you aand me,
Fighting on this battleground of misery,
Oh go ahead bring on your artillery,
And we'll make this an act of war,
Give it all you've got `cause I'm all dug in,
Keep the punches coming I can take them on the chin,
Winner takes all, let the best man win,
And we call it an act of war,


Well I'm a man of convenience I work a long hard day,
After twelve long hours ain't I got the right to play,
If living together is getting in the way,
Then I call that an act of war,


Well if that's your game then honey two can play,
I'm going on the town tonight and have some fun my way,
Ain't no way baby this girl's gonna stay,
I call it, I call it an act of war,


And it looks like time ain't been on our side,
If we could turn the clock back,
We might survive this act of war.
