New York City At Night

I hear the city call under lamplight so low
Under cover I go
And breathe the air of the night
I will wander until something makes me stand still
New York City At Night
Listen
Do you hear what I hear?
Do you hear the city talk?
Whispering in my ear
Of everything that I fear
And everything that I want
And he's pulling me near
With his trees in the park
And the lights strung above me
New York City At Night
I said, listen.
Do you hear what I hear?
Do you hear the city talk?
He's got me by the neck
And I will never escape
Never break his embrace
New York City At Night

Venice Day

i'm a creature of the sun
just lookin' for some fun
spare some change, dear?
so I can swim through the ocean of my dreams
i ain't quite what i seem
but who is anyway?
come on see the other side
it's a crazy kinda ride
you'll never pay
on a venice day
skates keep coasting by
with so tan limbs attached
boombox radio
vagabonds polish up their madnesses
and put 'em up for sale
to pale people from cold places
come on see the other side
it's a crazy kinda ride
you'll sleep away
on a venice day
better open up your eyes
to the angels in disguise
the devils on display
they're not gonna go away
but just know the sunlight of your fantasies is never far away
on a venice day

what's the word, hummingbird kisses on my neck
oh honey pie, you make me high. you make me shiver.
i see your love come from above in a wondrous light.
yeah, i'm amazed, a little dazed when i see it
rain down over me
rain down
i feel your heat from off the street
so let's take a dip
water wet, yeah, I'm yer pet, yeah, i'm yer sugar.
let's make a deal, gonna steal the thunder from the sky
and then we'll dance in a primal trance
gonna make it
rain down over me
rain down

Spinning

Never look forward and never look back
Never obsess on the things that you lack
Oh, I try too hard.
What makes me think I can figure it out
Seems like my life is one huge cloud of doubt
Yes, I try too hard.
Spinning on the axis
Wondering which way I'll turn.
Hindered by all these thorns that grow around me feeding off a past I thought I'd left behind.
Merry go round keeps turning around til I return to the place that I found that my life had passed me by
Where is that brass ring we're all looking for.
I think it may be a key to that door I just heard close in the sky.
Spinning on the axis
Wondering which way I'll turn.
Hindered by all these thorns that grow around me feeding off a past I thought I'd left behind.
And I know there's something out there in the bushes.
Can't you see the eyes behind the leaves?
Spinning on the axis
Wondering which way I'll turn.
Hindered by all these thorns that grow around me feeding off a past I thought I'd left behind.

What A Shame
03:48
|

winter's day
another chance to get your way
the world is at your beck and call
so long ago, somebody tried to tell you where to go
who could know how far they'd fall
what a shame
they just got in your way
what a shame
they played the game but it's your ball
heading out
surrounded by your clout
and all you do is guaranteed
feels so good
to force your will on some weaker dude
when all he's got at home are mouths to feed
what a shame
but that's what happens when things get in your way
what a shame
you just take aim and then they fall
it's over now
even though you couldn't take that vow
even though you wouldn't take a bow
it's another winter's day
but this time you're not gonna get your way
although i'm sure you'll live to die a thousand deaths some other day
and what a shame
but that's what happens when things get in your way
what a shame
you played the game and hit a wall
and what a shame
but karma's kind of a bitch that way
what a shame
you lost your game
now take your ball
