Marigold Something Marigold Something I was just wondering How was I worthy of you anyway I'd paint a nice picture Your thoughts were a mixture And I never learned your real name And you left as fast as you came I was just wondering Marigold Something What came between us on that fateful day You'd never leak it And kept it a secret Maybe you couldn't explain I'll keep on guessing, okay
2.	Mrs Sneed 04:56	lyrics	buy track
Mrs. Sneed We're all just part of the past, Mrs. Sneed We carry baggage we don't even need We're all just part of the past, Mrs. Sneed We'll fade away after no one believes We don't need erasing We don't need complacence On matters so close to our home We've awkward opinions We're trounced by the minions And scattered among every race We're all just part of the past, Mrs Sneed We carry baggage we don't even need We're all just part of the past, Mrs Sneed We'll fade away after no one believes We've screamed from the pulpits We've chased down the culprits That shattered the Murican dream We've scolded all brains for the thoughts they contain But no matter No sin's gone to waste We're all just part of the past, Mrs Sneed We carry baggage we don't even need We're all just part of the past, Mrs Sneed We'll fade away after no one believes Back when we burst on the scene We were so eager to please It was just a machine and it's done with its need Saying please close the door when you leave Please close the door when you leave I share all your questions And have no suggestions The rafters overflow with disdain We're all just part of the past, Mrs Sneed We carry baggage we don't even need We're all just part of the past, Mrs Sneed We'll fade away after no one believes at all
3.	Holding Back And Up 02:34	lyrics	buy track
Holding Back And Up Keeping thoughts inside of my head Or you better play dead Clean living instead Monstrous dreams then you wouldn't believe Like a snow without sled You better paint it all read Breaking out or breaking in It's how your mind receives it Molded steel and worried sea Can't you take me back to sleep Sliding back as you shift into power And a well oiled machine Are you still in a dream Music blasts and the engine comptetes Now you feel so complete Slow motion instead Keeping up or keeping out It's how you dare to dream it Holding fast or holding on Can't you take me back to sleep Only I know where I go and hide to (Somewhere I can hide) Oceans sigh as people fly right by you (Flying people right) Backing up or backing down As motion swirls around us Won't you shake my memory Where can it be (Where can it be, where can it be) Driving rain won't keep me away While you're lying in bed Watching life in my head Tired boot with a foot full of lead What your mother just said You better wake up instead Keeping up or keeping out It's how you dare to dream it Holding back or holding down Can't you take me back to sleep
4.	Making Her Music Louder 02:42	lyrics	buy track
Making Her Music Louder Writing her name, dreaming of fame Nothing's the same inside her Chewing her gum, hoping for someone Scribbled across her binder Cool in her hat, trendy at that Everyone knows about her Digging her day and having her way And making her music louder Taunting with shame, suffering blame Learning to be a fighter Delicate touch, loving too much Always comes back to bite her Proper and clean, pencil and dream Turning the trends and that's her revenge And making her music louder
5.	Xenophobia 03:53	lyrics	buy track
Xenophobia Someone's only chasing their tale Acting as authorities on a mission Where copious insanity fails transition And anybody left is only mulling it over Yeah Fields of a neurosis in bloom Apparently they're never quite out of season And tantamount to spelling the doom it feeds on And anybody left is only mulling it over Xenophobia - look out it's gonna own ya Xenophobia - never gets to know ya While preying on susceptible brains Grabbing for the bait and the line and sinker Whose only sin is being a Kool Aid drinker And anybody left will have to die for the pleasure Xenophobia - watch out, they're gonna stone ya Xenophobia - nobody lonelier Xenophobia - right there in your home, yeah Xenophobia - somebody's gonna label you bad I never dreamed you'd stay so long I thought that you belonged to the here and gone I never dreamed that you would stay so long Oh no, I thought that you belonged I thought that you belonged You couldn't make it up if you tried The reasoning can run like a roller coaster To make you feel like you're on a wanted poster You turn around and find that you've waited forever Can't wait forever And when you make it home tonight You're gonna be spinning your tail Xenophobia - watch out, they're gonna stone ya Xenophobia - nobody lonelier Xenophobia - right there in your home, yeah Xenophobia - somebody's gonna label you bad I never dreamed you'd stay so long I thought that you belonged to the here and gone I never dreamed that you would stay so long Oh no, I thought that you belonged I thought that you belonged I never knew that you would stay so long I thought that you belonged I thought that you belonged

Dangerman Call of the wild To nobody's child of nature Mustn't let go if you're caught in his throes You fainter Dangerman, nightime's stranger Getting you is part of the plan Then out of range he'll fly Listening to your whispering campaign about him You know he'll behave every which way that he's painted Dangerman, puppet master Knock on any wood that you should Then out of range he'll fly Call of the wild To nobody's child of nature Mustn't let go if you're caught in his throes You fainter Dangerman, nightime's stranger Getting you is part of the plan Then out of range he'll fly Listening to your whispering campaign about him You know he'll behave every which way that he's painted Dangerman, rocket ranger Knock on any wood that you can Then out of range he'll fly
7.	Trip Into Darkness 07:24	lyrics	buy track
Trip Into Darkness I'm no educated scientist But I would say that it seems a bit strange to me When the moon was clouded over A gentle rain fell on the valley A washing rain A taking away rain These tall figures standing in front of the fire knelt down Without a thought Without a care And on cue a shooting star flew across the sky And he remarked It was probably the first shooting star I've actually ever really seen They were amazed They noticed time stopped And I look up in the sky at the moon The moon is full and bright Brighter than it could ever be No chance circumstance No regard, second glance Untold thoughts implode Aphrodisia a la mode with this One trip into darkness Just a few steps away and close the door One night of love Temptation too great and well worth not waiting for I know water flows Out from your eyes onto your clothes Old wounds no one knows Leave behind, whatever goes One trip into darkness Just a few steps away and close the door One night of love Temptation too great and well worth not waiting for One slip into madness Before we even realize we're already there Yeah One trip into darkness Just a few steps away, I'll take you there C'mon now One night of love One trip into madness I'll take you there I know I know water falls from your eyes onto your clothes

So Glad To Meet You, Bob So glad to meet you, Bob Would you like a hit or some wine Turn up the hi-fi loud And take the comfy chair that reclines We've pulled out all the stops So you don't feel a need to move on Welcome to where you'll forever belong Wild flowers for Mrs Bob Hope she finds all in order and right We modeled true decor specifications From reading your minds Count on your every wish Just as long as you keep within bounds So glad to meet you and show you around It only hurts if you cry So glad to meet you, Bob You'll have plenty of fish on the line You'll find the bar's been stocked Every brand in a lifetime supply You'll be assigned a job Hope you like being chained to your friends So glad to know you're not leaving again
9.	Queen V 03:45	lyrics	buy track
Queen V When you're tired and out of your head And you hear, but listening not instead Striving long to keep it in check Ready go, just a tiny misplaced speck (spectacle) And if you looked inside you'd see You'll always be there, Queen V With his arms wrapped around you in peace Seeing love in what you have leased God in case they don't understand Believe in light even though you can You see it's really not so strange To shift the clouds that bring us rain Love fleeting Love screaming Love really Making noise with wood and six string Believe in words from what's not seen Sarge has left on his beat Standing fast on his cold hard feet (of clay) You'll always want me to be free You'll always be there, Queen V Love fleeting Love screaming Love really And you stop and the time ticks free And you drop as you bring the lead And you climb as your fingers bleed And you hope as you pull the reed And you're out with the wind and trees And you're the Queen and you'll always be Queen V You'll always be Queen V (They said that you'll always be) Queen V and you'll always be Queen V (when you look around you'll always be) Queen V and you'll always be Queen V (I have read that you'll always be) And you stop and the time ticks free Queen V and you''ll always be Queen V
10.	This Is A Wrap 02:49	lyrics	buy track
This Is A Wrap This is a wrap and that is that It's at the bottom of the stack It's in a room inside a box stored in the back It went too fast, it couldn't last You sigh relief and I'm aghast We had some laughs, but it is past and that is that You're so cynical, tactical and clinical Don't mean to be critical But it ain't worth the cash This is goodbye, I shouldn't cry Or offer explanations why This is a wrap and now I'm jumping off the ride We took a turn and finally learned Now it's no more our concern This shit don't fly, it had to crash Give it some gas You're so radical bordering on fanatical Prone to long sabbaticals from acting even practical Dark, strong, intuitive But too high on the cuckoo list Truly unforgettable, but I'll give it a whack This is a wrap This is a wrap This is a wrap This is a wrap This is a wrap and that's a fact No other way to skin this cat Now I can walk and you can say who gets to bat We were tight and now we're loose There's no apology or truce No keeping ties Let's just cut out, give it some juice Mysterious and beautiful As fun as a funeral Soft and habitual and hard to go against your will Dark, strong, intuitive But too high on the cuckoo list The final straw, you threw it in And broke this camel's back This is a wrap and that is that It's at the bottom of the stack It's in a room inside a box stored in the back It made no sense, but I've been dense No longer balanced on the fence It's in the past and now I speak in present tense This is a wrap This is a wrap This is a wrap....

Woman From No Return I will awake with the bright sun I will just gaze at the luminance of the dawn And work away past the dying of the light And hope I pray to right god tonight Oh, Maria How does one ever know the right things to say Where's the book of the rules and particular page No more chances today with the woman from no return I only learn through hindsight I can't confirm even now if I'm wrong or dumb...or both Some say I may have blind folded eyes Why can't I sway or come close to a compromise Oh, Maria I reject any claim by the masters of love Any way it's conveyed, any thought off the cuff See the flies in my brain as you're walking away You say the situation's only cash Some can live without it, others can't I turn around and one more hope is dashed There's nothing but forgiveness I never can change the past Woman from no return I will awake with the bright sun I will just gaze at the luminance of the dawn Woman from no return Maria I suspect any claims by the masters of love Any way it's conveyed, any thought off the cuff throws a chill through my spine as you're walking away
12.	Here In A Daydream 02:37	lyrics	buy track
Here In A Daydream Here comes a daydream A moment put aside To live a lifetime You might have been denied It was a pipe dream And everybody tries to see The writing in the sky has dotted i's Here comes a cold wind That seeps under the doors It turns the tables And eggs you on to war It's just a fable 'Cause everybody runs although theirs is the only finger on the gun And all the daydream saboteurs Are in the wings to get you every time Oh no, they don't mind Then all those daydream adversaries peek around the corners if your mind Ooh, yes they do Here in a daydream That only I can see And so they tell me I really should believe It's not a fake dream Though everybody tries We somehow never ever quite see eye to eye

Miracles Come (Once In A While) After all the misfires at the start A moment to sigh Calms me through the lateness of the hours Awake and moon dried Ooh, my darlin' All you're bringing to the table Has overflowed beyond any doubt You're living proof Miracles come once in a while Happens in so many years So many miles The customary cost of yanking chains Is virtue denied Talking with or running into walls The need was implied Ooh, my darlin' Takes a petty situation And turns It over Pointing out very clearly the truth That miracles come once in a while I can't be constantly wrong all of the time Patronizing pricks the fingered fate The jokester replied The catterwhallin cats of yesterday Are moaning outside Ooh, darlin' It doesn't really take a train car To run me over Before you see a major changed attitude Miracles come once in a while Once in a while So many miles So many miles Once in a while
16.	Segue Dream Sequence 03:55	lyrics	buy track
Segue Dream Sequence Time measures caution in size And the sequence inside me Shows where to run and hide You won't stop me from awakening And I try to shake you from my dreams It's not what you believe Won't you just see Keep me safe from weather or not You're there all wrapped in my hands Like a tangly string Like a motion so deep behind You like a bird on high Reach for the sky in black wings Nether winds cry Caution brings a feather Lasso taught with leather and me Binding branches from trees Like it's hopelessly real Like a motion so deep behind Who knows where clouds are going Who knows where clouds are going What's on their minds today Oh look, they want to say Who knows where clouds are going Who knows where clouds are going wrong I won't be your friend I'll be deeper than that Deeper than that Like a motion so deep behind I wanna climb so high Reach or the in black wings Nether winds cry Caution brings a feather And you'll see you let her inside Like an ocean side Like a motion so deep you'll see the sun does shine
17.	Strange Imagination 03:38	lyrics	buy track
Strange Imagination Paralyzed from knowing all the answers Terrorizing those that ridicule Stepping like a calculating dancer Spotlight with no rival looking way too cool for school Scrutinized for conduct unbecoming Recognized for breaking every rule Loved and feared by anyone attending No one can deny somebody way too cool for school Strange imagination always running wild Strange imagination ever since a child Analyzed like rats from the beginning Catechized beyond the point of cruel Blind as any bat and sore from squinting The one key to survival being way to cool for school Strange imagination always running wild Strange imagination ever since a child Strange hallucinations ever since a child

Under The City Lights Scattered pairs in the evening glare And they circle by in the open square And only two aren't in black and white They're a work of art Bodies intercepting light Nothing new as it's always been When you see the truth from the outside in As eventide throws its weight around Traffic signals know they'll be flashing all night long But tonight Under the city lights We're both here sitting feeling alright Under the city lights Both of us feeling pretty alright Metal trees and cement grass Blowing plastic leaves around the brick and glass And only two are not scenery Everything they do is always meant to be And tonight Under the city lights We're both here sitting feeling alright Under the city lights Both of us feeling pretty alright And if you're hearing voices, I'll be there And if you're hearing screams, don't be scared 'Cause tonight Under the city lights Nobody's getting on the inside Under the city lights Both of us feeling pretty alright

Don't Ask Me Where Or When Symbolize, modernize, idolize, and modify It all comes back again It all comes 'round again Copper drains, window panes, waterways and aeroplanes And I'll return again Don't ask me where or when Everything is shifting some Somehow all remains in bounds And to them we're cast as one And to us they're upsidedown We were so close Now it's the same way everywhere you care to go 'Cause they synthesize, hypnotize, supersize, and expedite It all comes back again It all comes 'round again Balls of string, cycled dreams, whipping cream and laser beams And I'll return again Don't ask me where or when They declare no war's been one Yet we're not so safe and sound Very glad they've had some fun You and I just look around And we both know They can go way down lower than we want to know When they fill your eyes, advertise, synchronize, and realize It all comes back again It all comes 'round again Iron bars, bumper cars, big guitars, and desert flowers And I'll return again Don't ask me where or when We were so close it's the same way everywhere you care to go When tomorrow's been and gone Who'll be left with more than none They may want us underground Just because they're seeking sun And we both know It's just the same way everywhere you care to go When they symbolize, modernize, idolize, and modify It all comes back again It ask comes 'round again Iron bars, bumper cars, big guitars, and desert flowers And I'll return again Don't ask me where or when

Water Safe To Drink I don't know much about the sun I know it keeps the night from lasting way too long I never quite get to the bottom I only miss it when it's gone And even breathing can remind There isn't much about the air that comes to mind Except it's thicker at the bottom Then every breath becomes a sigh Still I know the water sets us free Little children, the water's safe to drink And I know this time When all is said and done there will be water I heard there's heaven in the sky I think it's poetry, the author can't decide Until he signs it at the bottom And changes everybody's lives Yeah, still I know the water sets us free Little children, the water's safe to drink And I know this time When all is said and done there will be water I don't know much about the sun It keeps me warm at night and then it travels on And if it leaves me at the bottom I hope you miss me when I'm gone Ooh, still I know the water sets us free Little children, the water's safe to drink And I know this time When all is said and done there will be water Yes, I know the water sets us free Little children, the water's safe to drink And I know this time When all is said and done there will be water
