ONE EIGHTY

ONE EIGHTY

 

Low key profile

You sneak through the shadows

And I can hardly wait

But in the meantime

I’ll always be anxious to see you

My life keeps slippin’

In and out of you

And I can hardly stand it

But in the meantime

I’ll never know why

Live for moment

To see your lovely face

And I can hardly erase you

But in the meantime

I’ll behold what is dead

LOTHARIO

LOTHARIO

 

She’ll never stray

Too much at stake

She bit off more than she could chew

All that she wants is right here

The nectar of the gods lies in me

Think before you speak

My words speak louder than your actions

She tried the humble modest approach

But her roots are deep in me

She’ll never stray

All that she wants is right here

The nectar of the gods lies in me

SIGNIFICANT OTHER

SIGNIFICANT OTHER

 

My meaningless preoccupation with her puts me back where I started

My separated style puts me in a realm with homeless hearts

I know how fire works

She burns in my iridescent dreams

I talk of my troubles

And when I turn around she’s gone

Nothing left to do but plunge back into my miserable hole of agony

My one track mind’s been sidetracked

The fortune cookie lied to me

I forgot how to focus

Pillow fights and magic carpet rides

I talk to myself about the recurring drag of it all

Nothing left to do but go to sleep and wake up to a new suspicion

THE KEY

THE KEY

 

If you’ve ever wondered why it’s the way it is

If you’ve ever wondered why it’s not your way

Frustration is the key to madness

My heart is the way to sadness

If you’ve ever asked why you’re you

If you’ve never asked why you’re different

Frustration is the key to madness

My heart is the way to sadness

The blimp in the sky is riddled with guilt

The moon and stars are filled with mysteries

If you’ve ever wondered why

Frustration is the key to madness

My heart is the way to sadness

WHEN DARKNESS FELL

WHEN DARKNESS FELL

I’ve got nothing to say to you

And you’ve got nothing to say to me

So let's not drag it on

It was a very dark and cold day

When everything went away

No one can save us

Nothing can change us

I’ve got your number

And you’ve got mine

It was a very dark and cold day

When everything went away

Solid gold heart and votive candles

Rose petals on the bed

Lightning strikes twice

It was a very dark & cold day

When everything went away
