Some of our music in no particular order. Lyrics will be added as I get time. Note the image of one of our old set lists - complete with footprint.



Never Listen

When I try to talk to you
I try to talk to you
You never listen

And I cry in in my sleep
I cry in my sleep
I cry in my sleep at night

You
You just never listen
You
You just walk away
You
You don't have the time

You
You just never listen
You
You just walk away
You
You don't even care

When I try to talk to you
I try to talk to you
You never listen
And I cry in my sleep
I cry in my sleep
I cry in my sleep at night

You
You just never listen
You
You don't even care

The Waltz

When you look at me
When you talk to me
I grow happy inside

When you dance with me
When you hold me close
I can't believe it's all true

When you're near
I am closer to Heaven
You've told me I'm the one
And that you've been waiting to find me

When you take me to
Picture shows we bold hands and
Smile in the dark

We could live like that
We could be a film
Where the romance never ends

When you're far away
I write you and say
Please don't stay away long

When you smile at me
When you look at me
I know that I can't be wrong

When you're near
My heart starts to beat faster
I just live for the day
When we can be like the movies

We could live like that
We could be a film
Where the romance never ends

When you're near
My heart starts to beat faster
I just live for the day
When we can be like the movies

DISSOLVE

When we were dancing
The floor habitues
Would catch your eye and
They'd draw you away
All of the angles
That I thought I knew
Are no use to me
When it comes to you

Dissolve
Dissolution
Dissolve
Dissolution

Now when I see you
You are not alone
And when I call you
You hang up the phone
Misunderstanding
Was with us from the start
In your theatrics
I just played a part

Dissolve
Dissolution
Dissolve
Dissolution

Our dissolution
Came without a sound
The shock of losing
Has brought me to the ground
The words you told me
Were what I wanted to hear
My friends console me
But I still want you near

Chorus

Now late at night I
Still wait for your call
I can't believe it
Won't come at all
Our dissolution
Came without a sound
The shock of losing
Has brought me to the ground

PANIC

Walking down your street
Sunshine don't reach down here
Garbage underfeet
City cement fear

Boss says no more work
Someone will have to go
Cut him cut her don't cut me
It's all I've got

Home upstairs apartment
Honeycomb of steel
Cooking smells and people
This nightmare's for real

Rise above it
Never leave the city
You're too tightly bound
Live this way forever
Ever In this Lost and Found

Home to "kid broke his arm,
I Don't know how it happened
TV doesn't work again
I don't know how it happened"

Never rise above it
Metal strapped around your chest
No room to breathe, no time to Panic
You're like like all the rest

Home to "kid broke his arm
I don't know how it happened
TV doesn't work again
I don't know how it happened"

Wife is losing touch
Bills are left unpaid
Home to the "kid broke his arm
I don't know how it happened"
Working, living masquerade

A CONSOLATION

Out for fun in the evening you
Give your best smile and always view
The world through lace with lovers
Hide from horrors under cover

Go to sleep to find relief
Dream with someone to hold onto
Sex: A consolation
Sex: A consolation
Sex: A consolation
Sex: A consolation
Go to sleep to find relief
And dream with someone to hold onto

Loneliness
It frightens you
It makes you feel that you could do
Anything to keep from being alone
In the dark at night and at home

Go to sleep to find relief
And dream with someone to hold onto
Sex: A consolation
Sex: A consolation
Sex: A consolation
Sex: A consolation
Go to sleep to find relief
And dream with someone to hold onto

Another night in another bar
Another ride home in a stranger's car
Another day begins and then
Another night
Time for you to run home and hide

Go to sleep to find relief
And dream with someone to hold onto
Sex: A consolation
Sex: A consolation
Sex: A consolation
Sex: A consolation
Go to sleep to find relief
And dream with someone to hold onto

LEFT OR RIGHT

You broke the mirror with your hands
Afraid of who was there
I'm in love with one of you
There's two and that's not fair
Humor like a razor's edge
Behind your eyes the culprit stirs
Going on with motions
Stalking, talking foreign words

And it's safer in the night
Than entertaining your romance
When you divide before my eyes
I never stand a chance

Left or right
Left or right
Left or right
Left or right

You can light a cigarette
And tell me that I'm wrong
Tell me that your mystery
Can't be trapped inside a song

Left or Right

See I don't like to drink alone
That's why you're perfect company
At least I know that one of you
Will stay the night with me

Lost inside this playground
With someone I don't know
Then the other face will say
There's more that I don't know

Left or Right

Just to stop this injury
I'd run away from you
Children's games don't sit well with me
They're all you know to do

I have no plan to stop you
I don't have one more wish

Left or Right

ROMANCE

Decent of you
To say all of that
Decent of you
To cover like that
Decent of you
To finish the game
Decent of you
You know I don't change

I lie, you don't You try, I won't

You in red
And I in white
You fall down before the Glass
They want you for now
Just for now, it won't last

They don't want you Not for too long

Decent of you decent of you
Decent of you to give it like that
You won't believe
When you wear out
They will all be gone
Just like that

You'll come crying I'm not waiting

Give your best
To the lens
Cry about it
To your friends
Be the doll
I knew you could
Dance about all
made of wood

You'll come crying I won't be there

PLANET

Wouldn't it be nice if we were on another planet
Then what we now take so very much for granted
The air, the food, the water, and the earth we plant in
Wouldn't mean so much to us because we'd be without it

Everyone, listen
This earth-you'd miss it

If you don't believe me then go try it for yourself
Go starve in Siberia and lose all of your wealth

INSTRUMENTAL

Unless we learn a lesson from those who did fall to ruin
You can come and Join us as we find a new home

Everyone, listen
This earth-you'd miss it

PERFECT COUPLE

On the dance floor twirl her
She's an idol pull her close
And dance together cheek to cheek
You seem to be the Perfect Couple
Funny how things end sometimes
Her eyes they never lie

In an evening gown across the table
Drinking bottles of champagne
You swear she said "moments like this
can last forever..."
Funny how things end sometimes you think
Her eyes they never lie

Detach yourself from all of this
What would you dream at night
What would you cry for in the day

On the dance floor look right through her
Doesn't matter anyway
She leaves you guessing in the dark
You seemed to be the Perfect Couple
Funny how things end sometimes
Her eyes they never lie

Detach yourself from all of this
What would you dream at night
What would you cry for in the day...

You swear she said,
"moments like this can last forever" Funny how things end sometimes you think
Her eyes they never lie

INSTRUMENTAL

It's safer in the dark
Than standing next to her
When things dissolve, you say
"Maybe she'll call me,"
You seem to be the Perfect Couple
Funny how things end sometimes
Her eyes that never lie

NOTHING TO SAY

You were always fighting me and now I find that I don't care
You've been so long destroying my mind that now I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care

What went wrong is not unusual
It happens every day
And I'm not sorry, angry, or regretful at all
I have nothing to say
I have nothing to say
I have nothing to say
I have nothing to say

Chorus:
Except that
It could have been love
Or it might not have been
It isn't so mysterious,
It will happen again
It will happen again
It will happen again
It will happen again
It will happen again

Boy needs girl
Girl needs boy
This is the way
Life is handled
by the people living it
This is the way
This is the way
This is the way
This is the way

CHORUS

One more time you're calling me
And now you say you. don't care
I tell you just to leave me alone
You say you don't care
Why do you call
Why do you call
Why do you call
Why do you call

CHORUS

The Flow

Thoughts I used to have
Fade into the distance
As I speed along
Breaking air resistance

It's vast
It's exciting
It's perceptable

Going with the flow
Seeing where it takes me
My eyes are focused
My eyes move around

The scope
The disorder
The resolution

INSTRUMENTAL

It's vast
It's exciting
It's perceptable

Thoughts I used to have Flow into the future

CAPTIVE

There's blood on your lips
Now you're not moving
I didn't mean to hit-
You just wouldn't keep quiet

Chorus:
Oh, what have I done to you What have I done to you?
What have I done to you...

Kept in my room
There you would pace, raging
Manacled angel
You'd turn away raging

CHORUS

Just to look-just to look
(and never touch)
Just to look-just to look
(and never touch)
Just to look-just to look
(And never touch)
Just to look-just to look
(and never touch)

CHORUS

SERIAL

Parents Watching
Children Watching
TV watching them

Chorus:
Watching action
Being watched
Living drama
Serial

Dog barks out
Door swings shut
Then it does again

CHORUS

Parents watching
Children watching
Funny 2-D scenes

CHORUS

The TV's on
They sit and dream
Enjoyable evening

CHORUS

Instrumental

CHORUS

SHADE

Forget about me
You'll grow older
Then a hand will touch your shoulder
Turn around, no one's there
Don't be frightened, I'll play fair

The heat will rise, you'll awaken
Under cover, slightly shaken
A spirit kissed you-disbelieve
I'm you shade, now I Can't leave

Aren't you sorry (I'm still here)

chorus
Don't you miss me
(I'm still here)
Aren't you sorry
(I'm still here)
Don't you miss me
(I'm still here

2 more chorus lines instrumental

Try and shelve me
Turn and walk
You're the best
To hear you talk
I've got time
To wait for you
Haunting til my shade is true

CHORUS

Instrumental chorus

CHORUS

SURVIVAL

(VERSE)
Oh, there is no purpose
To this president's assurance
Of the pursuit of happiness
While the world is trembling and starving

(CHORUS)
Come, come give us your hand and strike down
Elements of world destruction
With mutual determination
We shall save the world

Then when we are almost free
We'll look around and we shall see
The present status of our nation
And the points we need to strengthen

(VOCAL CHORUS)

INSTRUMENTAL SOLO INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS
Survival of the species
Relies on evolution
When we are through here
Our children will find the next solution

(VOCAL CHORUS)
