Minstrel Station
04:04
|
|||
I got caught in the canvas
Stuck my brush on the wall
And I don't know what's real now
Cause it's too hard to tell
If you're going to Minstrel Station
I will take you there
It will take an incantation to
Conjure up my chariot
The roads that we traverse will take us
Low and mountain high
The languages conversed will make us
Fluent with the sky
So if you're going to Minstrel Station
I will take you there
It will take some excitation to
Lasso up my lariot
The mountain pass goes through a tunnel
Leading to the sky
The troubadours rehearse and bring a
Twinkle to the eye

Flipside
03:16
|
|||
It's all calling for you
It's all calling for you
It's all calling for the man who's on the flipside
Of the yin and yang,
running to the eastside from the west side of the gang
Ready and I'm willing, looking hill and dale
Running to the eastside on the right side of the trail
It's all calling for you
It's all calling for you
It's all calling for the man who's on the flipside
Of the 45, skipping all the A sides,
cause the B sides are my style
Ready and I'm willing, listening away,
drivin to the eastside with the A sides left to play
It's all calling for you
It's all calling for you
It's all calling for the man who's on the flipside
Of the 405, drivin to the eastside,
picking up a whole new life
Drinking and I'm singing, karaoke wails,
running to the eastside with the westwind in my sails

Evergreen Dream
04:14
|
|||
Wave at the people as the wind blows
Church and the steeple made of your bones
A penny saved, a penny burned
Playing with fire, you've got to earn
Life's just an evergreen tree away
And life's just for you and for me, a play
It's a life's work, just to put down to the page
What you know
Cause life's just and evergreen dream away
It's a long branch waving hello
And it's not by chance you're in the know
And the roots were deep long, long ago

Blue Moon Tavern Song
03:34
|
|||
Blue moons away
Just to live our lives to the fullest each day
Blue Moon on stage
That's the place we'd love to sing, jump and play
A lot of friendly ghosts there still hanging on the walls
Played a lotta shows there band sticker's on the wall
Everyone you know is there you're welcomed at the door
Feels like it's home there sitting at the bar (in a dive)
Blue moons away
Just to get to where we were back in the day
Shows blown away
Can't wait to load in set up and play someday
Blue Moon to stay
Blue Moon will never go away
Blue Moon forever

As The Sun Goes Down
03:07
|
|||
Let's stop watching as the sun goes down
Let's stop wondering if the earth is spinning round
There's a watchman in a tower
On the firmament wall
Let's stop watching as the sun goes down
Let's stop wondering if the earth is round
Cause it'll be the thing that blows our minds
There's a watchman in a tower
On the high sea ice wall
Let's stop wondering if the earth's a ball
Lies will fly in space
Stars shine into your eyes
Storms and seas will rage
Fly high, you'll never break the plane
Just float away

Pedestal
03:09
|
|||
Who wrote your name upon the wall
I'll be anyone you want
I'll do anything you want me to
Who put you on a pedestal
I'll be begging on my knees
I'll be falling at your feet my queen
Lies will fly, deep in the night
When you're wanting touch
And you're all used up
Eyes will cry, deep are the wounds
But still your heart opens up it's doors again

Young Lovers
03:43
|
|||
The waves on the ocean
The way that you touch my face
Is this the old normal?
Is this the only sane place?
We should be touching each other
Not standing six feet away
Teenagers last summer
Never fell in loved or played
Hold me close in the dark drenching rain
Hold me til we cannot feel the pain
If we ever want to be the same
You've gotta touch somebody's face, young lovers
The weight of the world
The way that you hide your face
(Don't hide your face, he's looking for you girl)
The distance we're keeping
All out of social grace
(Don't stay at home, he's wishing for you girl)
You should be kissing each other
Young lovers in new embrace
(Find the time, free your mind, where ya gonna draw the line?)
The closer the better, one touch and our hearts will race
(Don't stand so far, come closer baby)
Hold me close in the warm summer sun
Hold me til the hurt has been undone
If we ever want to be as one
You've gotta kiss somebody's lips, young lovers
You should be kissing each other
Young lovers in new embrace
(Find the time, free your mind, where ya gonna draw the line?)

Light The Torch
03:54
|
|||
Light the torch and burn off your innocence
It's enough to make hard decisions and
Harder still to speak the
Truth to power freaks them out
Like they've always been
Scare of the dark
Like we always knew
Oh it's the light, the spark between us
Oh it's the light, the spark between us
Light the fuse and blow up the staus quo
There's so much that they don't want us to know it's
Harder still to speak the
Truth to power freaks them out
Like they've always been
Scare of the dark
Like we always knew
Oh it's the light, the spark between us
Oh it's the light, the spark between us
Light up the band and strike up the torches

When In Rome
03:28
|
|||
Take your cue from conventional wisdom
The consensus is your own opinion
When In Rome
Tug of war over whose facts are better
Pulling til we unravel the sweater
When In Rome
On display is a list of your virtues
Never thought they would tear down your statue
When In Rome
And when you're out in the darkness
And you're too far from home
You better make the assumption you're not alone
I've had enough of the backstreets
And the seeds I have sown
I've gotta keep us together and come home
Right to privacy last priority
More concerned with our day to day safety
When In Rome
Nothing to fear but sheer mass hysteria
Hiding behind a curtain to scare ya
When In Rome
All is not lost there is a prescription
Grab a broom and sweep out the corruption
When In Rome
And when you're out in the margins
On the fringe outer zone
You gotta know that the truth is you're not alone
I've had enough of the mainstream
And the seeds they have sown
I've gotta tune out the discord and roll on
When In Rome

2 4 6 8 who do we appreciate?
Like to write a song for love for you
Sing of all the lovely things you do
Like to write a sexy note to you
Tell you all the things I'd like to do
Turn up the ardor
Blood's running hotter now
This is where we are, yes and this is where we've been
But look into my eyes and you will find a new man
We can take the world by storm, we two
Give 'em all a show like we can do
Gaining steam and coming back anew
Telling all the world that I love you
Turn up the ardor
I'm all hotblooded now
This is where we are, yes and this is where we've been
But looking in your eyes I can see a new woman
Turn up the ardor
Blood's running hotter now
This is where we are, yes and this is where we've been
But look into my eyes and you will find a new man
2 4 6 8 who do we appreciate?
