I could not get to sleep.. Feeling the future, in my head. A million times over.. I've been here before.. I'll be here again. Feeling the need.. To flicker my pen.. Flicker my pen all night long.. I feel like mediocre Joe when he just lost his mojo I wanna feel the superman flow wanna flow like a river wanna flow Joe. Flow like a river or a breeze through the trees, wanna feel like the richest of the hobos Feeling mighty fine.. from the wine, from the wine Hoping I reply, to the girl on my right, girl on my right all night long.. (chorus 4x getting higher)

Waterwing 02:52
I cannot, swim that far I cannot, swim at all But if you would be My waterwing Maybe I could Maybe I would fly ... I can’t swim that far Can’t even swim at all If you would be my Waterwing Maybe I could fly Maybe I would try Maybe I could fly Maybe I would ... try

Autumn colours are my brothers, Scarlet fever, golden retriever, pulling the lever, on a daily basis, stasis, opposite of racist, if you’re feeling good just say this Oh oh Elizabeth hurley my oh my your hair is curly straight downstairs to the close knit hairs a formal request, to sample your wares x2 Grappling the cement, around the curves, I get bent, are you hell or heaven sent? Check the appropriate box, wow it even talks, Falling out in waves, slinking in their caves, I am lost and sauced, oh what a cost, when fighting with, Jack Frost Oh, oh, Elizabeth Hurley, my oh my your hair is curly, straight downstairs to the close-knit hairs, a formal request to sample your wares x3 Good things come in pairs x3

the rolling palms in the splenderous dale told me when to furl the sail I lay before the beautiful shore jewels in my hand the beaches sand the sun shone strong this day would be long the kind you remember until time is gone the rum had been poured with an ornamental sword I stared at the sky playing these two chords and the world made me cry there and then I could have died x2 but I lived! the day began to wane and the sun began to set at the waters edge I saw silhouette like a star in the sky brighter to my eye she came to my side I couldn't explain why

Farmacia 02:24
I go to, the Farmacia, my brain enacts, Onomatopoeia Boom Biff Pow, Crash Twelve games of chess in the midnight mornin’ sun Many pieces littering the floor Still I’m waiting for the queen to come through the door (come through that door baby) It has to be right, a spectral night It shouldn’t be a fight, just super-natural Don’t change for me, just be who you are If gravity wills it, our love shall form a star A full on beacon to fight the god of war
6.
Androgynous 03:23
Androgynous, how can I forget about you you make me feel, just the way that I do I give it up, before the line is through and I don't wanna feel cool sit beside the kids in the pool or watch the wind blow like a fool I made it up, when I was in a good mood funny how, the feeling is now induced I love you all like the sun and I don't wanna leave everyone so throw away that ugly gun winter clothes and summer fun androgynous, how can I forget about you you make me feel, just the way that I do I give it up, before the line is through and maybe you, will sing along to this tune

I am walking home, drunk, and alone, and you mysteriously appear, The most beautiful stranger, You are uncharacteristically forward, Though I couldn’t possibly know, because we’ve never met, We talk a while, I learn your style, And before long, the emotion strong, We lose the time and place, My lips caress your face, Swimming in the newness of each other, And to think, just five minutes ago, I was walking home, drunk, and alone.

Try as I might, a broken light You make me wear sunglasses I see in the dark Calloused thumbs is telling lies Like potatoes possessing eyes Violet in nature, pure abstract in stature Where do you find them? Where do you find them? Where do you find them? Where do you find them? We are but keys, searching for locks, lost and found, in the sound resound Search for the holy quail, abruptly gone stale, Settle for a fish, in the belly of a whale Where do you find them? where do you find them? where do you find them? where do you find them? Mixings in the air, a lonesome hat, covers a man, covers my hair Relax in a chair, vibrations, conducive to a mind’s elations Nothing is less, and something is more A brutal photograph, for you all to see He’s not all there, whispers behind their backs Ah but we’re somewhere, ah but we’re somewhere Aren’t we all? Aren’t we all? Where do you find them? Where do you find them? Where do you find them? Where do you find them? Where do you find them? Where do you find them? Where do you find them?

Where do we go, when we die? Do we live, or do we lie, In the stream, of all that’s been Do we live? Or do we die? The gatekeeper is wonderin’ where you have been Do you go to heaven, or have, you sinned? It don’t really matter what’s right or wrong in his eyes All that really matters is, it’s a surprise I’ll see you when you get there upstairs or down Cause I know that I’m gonna be the class clown Jokin’ and a trickersterin’ like Loki on the run One thing is for sure, I’m gonna have my fun Where do we go, when we die? Do we live, or do we lie, In the stream, of all that’s been Do we live? Or do we die? Where do we go, when we die? Do we live? Or do we die?

And you’ve lived in that slow southern style, and you’ve got, time to remember, And you think you’re drunk on whiskey again, and you’re not, at your best, You’ve played the game till the dice wore out, and it’s over, Thank God it’s over, And you’ve lived, oh you have lived, and your eyes, are wide open, Open wide, so wide, that you wish, you wish you could close them, Again, again, And you’ve lived in that slow southern style, and you’ve got, time to remember, And you think you’re drunk on whiskey again, and you’re not, at your best, You’ve played the game till the dice wore out, and it’s over, Thank God it’s over.

Whimsy 04:19
I wanna breathe your air, even though I know I really can’t compare, All I can do, is sit across the room and stare, I wanna breathe your air, even though I know I really can’t compare, All I can do, is sit across the room and stare, I wanna breathe your air, even though I know I really can’t compare, All I can do, is sit across the room and stare, I wanna breathe your air, even though I know I really can’t compare, All I can do, is sit across the room and stare, I wanna breathe your air, even though I know I really can’t compare, All I can do, is sit across the room and stare

Andante 04:12
The crook of an arm, a bracelet a charm, come and sit with us A rust of trust, rings and sings, clings and stings, ah All that I am, lost in you, All that I am, lost in you How can I forget? How, can I forget? All that I am, lost, in you Joy and pain, in a cold summer rain, the lover's refrain, refrain All that I am, lost in you All that I am, lost, in you How can I forget? How, can I forget? How can I forget? How, can I forget?

Hours and hours of legos in my room, doin what it was that I do Playing songs for my mom in the kitchen that I wrote playing each song note for note now I know my dad that I never really got to know Take the world on strong, yeah I know singin' ood a lolli ood a lolli golly what a day My sister and me, VCR, who'd have known I'd a wind up here playing guitar Singin ood a lolli ood a lolli golly what day My brother and me in the back woods breaking sticks The sticks were the swords and the words that we said never end Singin ood a lolli ood a lolli golly what a day ood a lolli ood a lolli golly what a day

about

Revision of what was once a double album because I'm a songwriter, and relatively naïve to marketing in contrast to many other peoples..
