No More Tomorrows

Who could dare to doubt it?
Roughened from the wear of the earth
Find a place that fits your clothes
Trouble looms around you
Time to let the misery out
From sacred meadows where it grows
And every day that
I don’t think about you
That’s a time I find worth waiting for
No more tomorrows with you
Who could dare to doubt it?
Crafted from the salt of the earth
Feeling more or less unchanged
Where is the patience for it?
Time to let the misery out
Open up and feel your pain
Repeat Chorus
And if it seems that
You’ve been celebrating
And you’ve found what you were aiming for
On the first day
I don’t dream about you
That’s the day that am waiting for
No more tomorrows with you

Facing Down the Night
03:24

One day I had a notion
To get myself on down the road
I set myself in motion
And put down my heavy load
Now can’t you see?
In spite off how it looks to you
I’m facing down the night
On that night police I bothered
I met with the city fathers
Somehow there was judgment of my crimes
It was not a laughing matter
Talking like the maddest hatter
I hope I make it home tonight
Now can’t you see?
In spite of how looks to you
I’m facing down the night
Sticking to the surface streets facing down the night
Psychotropic athlete facing down the night
I’m a conversation piece facing down the night
The night, the night, the night, the night, tonight
Verse repeat
Never sick of your affection
Even with a bad connection
I hope that you’ll be leaving on the light
On my knees to kiss the ground
Nearly fell and broke my crown
Singing with radio I made it home tonight

Angry Sky
02:39
|
|||
|
Sometimes it seems
Much better to exist in a dream
That’s how it seems
Before your thoughts had blurred together
You said to me that all is well
A place at last where you were dreaming
Beyond the carousel
No way to break the concentration
The ending of a winning streak
The pain you felt was unexpected
You tried but could not speak
At the center of an angry sky
You found a way to fly
At the center of an angry sky
That’s where we said goodbye
By day a valley split by sunshine
A way was found to bring us through
When dawn retreated into nighttime
I said goodbye to you
At the center of an angry sky
That’s where we said goodbye
(x2) Sometimes it seems

Spectacular Fools
03:38
|
|||
|
At the start of the day
With night far away
Let the sun have it’s way
And break up the fog
It was nothing but fun
To incite everyone
To awaken the sun
By unhooking the stars
The stars
Spectacular fools
Armed with dangerous tools
Unmaking the rules
To cure broken hearts
Broken hearts
Shooting stars
There to embrace the moon
Hailing the blossom’s bloom
Seizing the day
Inst break
Dark clouds in your head
That eventually spread
So you crawled into bed
To be all alone
Farewell, happy trails
Called heads but got tails
But the wind in the sails
Can carry us home
Home
Chorus
Honestly
Honestly
It pleases the heart

Overview
03:40
|
|||
|
Deep seas and mountain peaks rising
Another place out and away
Above the curvature’s halo
Night time slipping away
And guilt you spoke about often
Nothing but fears and regrets
And desperation for an exit
Like a fish in a net
Right when the day had hit middle
Hanging on mysterious words
Another pattern of visions
Landing at your feet like birds
A place where nothing much happened
Nobody’s story was true
And when the passageway opened
I knew what happened to you
Chorus:
Sail around the moon
Learn to hear another tune
You know where you must be
Crawling from the wreck that set you free
See it face to face
A picture that you can't erase
You know where you must be
Crawling from the wreck that set you free
Find another place
Block the thoughts you can’t erase
No matter what you do
Objections would be lost on you
And, yes, I will admit
This craft has got a mood to it
A mind that somehow knows

Set up to go
With a catalog of college tries
I don’t need to know
Just let the circumstances decide
Anytime
(Chorus) You’re indifferent and it’s easy to see
You’d do much better than to hang around with me
A ghost in your machine
Set up to go
If you tell me how you feel and why
I won’t need to know
It’s just another way of spending time
Anytime
Oh no
You see I have to go
(Chorus)
Blame it all on me
I’m the one you want
I’ll just wait and see
See what comes along
I found company
Lately in the place you aren’t

Blue Sky
04:13
|
|||
|
I need to forget you
Like I never knew your name
Like I never met you
Like I never said your name
And if I reach you
Words won’t unteach you
You win
Hands down
Or are you crashing
To the ground?
A deed that must be
Breaking you down
Or hiding from a new day
To melt into the crowd
I couldn't miss you
You were always gone
I couldn't see you
The light was never on
And when I need you
But I - can't seem to read you
I am
Shot down
Like visiting an
Empty town
The clouds are raging
Above the ground
To steal away the blue sky
That’s getting in the way

Souvenir
03:10
|
|||
|
Chorus:
Souvenir of the kind
You don’t need to look for and don’t mean to find
Souvenir – So dire and blue
So tired of you
The first was the worst and the last was the same
Out of the picture and loose from the frame
You knew that warfare is really a search for a truce
What can be done but to go your own way?
Feeling used up by the end of the day
Looking for some way to try and escape from the noose
Chorus: Instrument break
Another arrangement that purposely fails
You and a tiger attached by the tail
One thing is certain- there’s surely a perfect excuse
Chorus: (x2)
Middle
Halfway gone and more before
You felt yourself drifting away
Lost yourself beneath the ruinous waves
Out beyond a trace of dawn
Unlacing a beautiful day
Pressing on to will the storms away
Chorus: (x2)

Seven Holes
03:07
|
|||
|
I never did drink like you
But I held back your hair like a girlfriend would do
When I told you how much I cared
you turned away with a laugh and a stare
Poetry crowded your face
froze as a smile skidded back into place
Chorus
Now lying & leaving & driving & leaking
out of all seven holes in our heads.
We use every one to make everyone feel like
their feelings are only pretend.
A lazy, bitter end
Verse 2
Heavenly fallings from grace
You never knew your dad and I'm sorry for that
Love it or leave it with me
I'll drive it away in my car by the sea
Chorus
I brought you home too late
Stayed in the car while you walked to the door

Lester Paul
04:05

|
With silver highlight hair
At mars with ozone air
A rocket ride to despair
Get in his space – beware!
He’s come on harder times
And Lester Paul’s designs
Help the gin stay cold
With comets shooting by
And these complaints he’s aimed at you
How could you leave me?
I was only stoned
I couldn’t believe me
I was so alone
How could you leave me
