Busted Stuff

Look at that girl
Woman

Not enough
Never too much
Woman look just like love

Rolling stone
Gathers no moss
Leave a trail of
Busted stuff

I know she's gonna leave
My broken heart behind her
I take what she's giving up
I know she's gonna leave
This broken man behind her
I take what she's giving up

Sweet sugar lips
Push from the hips
Woman looks just like love
Without a care
She floats above
She got me down here looking up

I know she's gonna leave my broken heart behind her
I take what she's giving up
I know she's gonna leave my broken heart behind
Yea Yea

She might want
She might want
She might want
Look for love?
When she move
She move so cool
She make me feel just like a fool
But inside
Where? the devil hides
Women looks just like a dove?

I know she's gonna leave my broken heart behind her
I take what she's giving up
I know she's gonna leave my broken heart behind now
Get what she's giving up

Grey Street

Look at us who listens
She says nothing of what she thinks
Just listens to abuses
And by the kitchen sink

She thinks Hey!
Oh why no one lived of this
Oh I'm latest on life
How did it end life this

The rocks in her heart fall
And she feels the weight in lies
And the colors mixed together to Grey

Grey Street

Begging of the difference
She Prays to god most every night
Although she swears he doesn't listen
There's hope in her that he just might

She said, "I Pray!"
But they fall on deaf ears
I'm supposed to take it all on myself
To get out of this place

Soon The rocks in her heart fall
And then she rode the light in
On day now ?? is over
And again she sees the pain
And then the colors mixed together to Grey!
On Grey Street

Its all covered him again
Take what you can from your dreams
Make it real as anything
Takes the work out of the courage

She said, "Please!"
There's someone sleeping outside my door
I live on the corner of Grey Street
And the end of the world

And the rod in the ???
As hopeless as the day she came
And the man she calls her father
Ignores her and ignores her pain

Oh, When I walk out in the morning
?? In all this sunlight
And all the colors mix together to Grey
On Grey Street
On Grey Street
its Grey Street you go

So, don't eat your heaven
Don't Convince yourself your done
Just cause the things around you seem heavy
Doesn't mean you can give up this crown

And you hold me down in the heart now
Move out and oh the wait is over
Oh mind is on your worry, when ??
And the colors mix together to Grey
On Grey Street
On Grey Street
To Grey..........yah, yeah, yeah, yeah

 

Diggin' A Ditch

Run to your dreaming when your alone
Turn off the TV
Unplug your phone
Get heavy on with 'Diggin your Ditch'

'Cause I'm
Diggin a Ditch where madness gives
Diggin a Ditch where silence lives
Diggin a Ditch when I'm old
Diggin my Ditch my story is told

Where all these troubles weigh down on me
Will Rise
Run to your dreaming when your alone
Where all these worries that hold heavy on my heart
Will Die
Will Die
Will Die

Run to your dreaming when your alone
Unplug the TV
Turn off your phone
Get heavy on with 'Diggin your Ditch'

'Cause I'm
Diggin a Ditch where madness gives
Diggin a Ditch where silence lives in it
Diggin a Ditch when I'm through
Diggin this Ditch I'll dig in for you

Where all these disappointments grow angry out of me
Will Die
Where all these habits that hold heavy on my heart
Will Die

Run to your dreaming when your alone
Not what you should be or what you've become
Just, get heavy on with 'Diggin your Ditch'

'Cause I'm
Diggin a Ditch where madness gives a bit
Diggin a Ditch where silence lives
Oh where all these troubles weigh down on me
Will Rise
Will Rise
Will Rise
Will Rise

Run to your dreaming when your alone
Unplug the TV
Turn off your phone
Get heavy on with 'Diggin your Ditch'

Sweet Up And Down

Big dog bites the bone
Lifes' to short to take all this
Not true when whats more
Lifes to short to mind just keep on with
The Sweet up and down

Unturning her cheek
Inside, out her neat little pose
Dirty little girl
Climbs out of the holding her own
in this Sweet up and Down

I believe in love
But believe its my heart that keeps turning me down
I believe in love
I think its just fine
Oh, the Sweet up and Down

Big pig turns to me
Pig he needs to eat like us all
Not far from the beast
Man sits down to feast on this part of the
Sweet up and down

I believe in love
And believe its my heart that keeps turning me down
I believe in love
All think its just fine
All the Sweet up and Down BT

Up and Down, Inside out
Outside in some you lose some
You win for us all
Up and down we go
Bad times shield us all once or twice
On this Sweet up and Down

I believe in love
But think nothing about it when your not around
I believe in love
I think your just fine
On the Sweet up and Down

I believe in love
But believe in my heart that keeps turning me down
I believe in love
I think your just fine
On the Sweet up and Down

 

JTR

I drink you up...
For every drop of you is sacred
Every drop I drink you up

You fill my cup
The way you laugh eyes of a child
Lean on me you fill me up
You make me love
So unconditionally generous
To me you give me love and break my heart
Slip, you fall, I pick you up and dust you off
You break my heart

Rain, Rain, Rain down on me
Again and Again,
Rain down on me and take all you want
For what is mine is yours
No better use is there for what I've got
Take all you want
And only hope can I you won't deny
your love me for my love

No don't cry if it's to high
I lift you up were naked, naked
When I was so so tired
You come along to wake me, wake me
Time and Time, again and again
With a smile you save me child

Oh..Oh..Oh
Rain, Rain, Rain down on me
Again and Again,
Rain down on me

Look we play our cards and
I question by the grace of what
We play our cards at all
Come fill me up
Oh fill me love when I'm empty
when I'm all dried up

No dont cry if it's to high
I lift you up were naked, naked up
I was so so tired
You come along to wake me, wake me
Time and Time, again and again
With a smile you save me child

Rain, Rain, Rain down on me
Again and Again,
Rain down on me

Rain, Rain, Rain down on me

 

Big Eyed Fish

Story of a man who decided not to breathe
Turned red, purple, then blue, colorful indeed
No matter how his friends begged, well, he would not concede
And now he's dead, you see 'cause everybody know you've got to breathe

But, oh God, under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
Lighter on the other side

Another one, see this monkey, sittin' in his tree
One day decided to climb down and ran off to the city
Look at him now, tired, and drunk, and living in the street
As good as dead, you see, a monkey should know "stay up your tree"

But, oh God, under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
Oh God, but under the weight of life
Things seem much lighter on the other side

No way, no way, no way out of here

Another one, a big eyed fish, swimmin' in the sea
Oh how he dreamed, he wants to be a bird, swooping diving through the breeze
One day, he caught big blue wave up on to the beach
Now he's dead, you see, a fish's dreams should stay in the sea

But, oh God, under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
But, oh God, under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side

No way, no way, no way out...of here
No way out of here

 

Grace Is Gone

Neon shines through smoky eyes, tonight
It’s 2 AM I’m drunk again,
it’s heavy on my mind
It’s heavy on my mind
I could never love again,
so much as I love you
Where you end where I begin is like a river flowing through
ohhhhh

Take my heart, take my eyes
Cause ill need them no more
If never again they’ll fall upon the one I so adore

Excuse me please, one more drink
Could you make it strong cause I don’t need to think
She broke my heart
My grace is gone
Another drink and I’ll move on

One drink to remember, and another to forget
How could I ever dream to find a love like this again
One drink to remember, and another to forget

Excuse me please, one more drink
Would you make it strong cause I don’t need to think
She broke my heart
My grace is gone
Another drink and I’ll move on

One more drink and ill move on

You think of things impossible
Then the sun refuse to shine
I woke with you beside me,
Your cold hand lay in mine

Excuse me please, one more drink
Could you make it strong cause I don’t need to think
She broke my heart
My grace is gone
Another drink and I’ll go

Excuse me please, one more drink
Would you make it strong cause I don’t need to think
She broke my heart
My grace is gone
Another drink and I’ll move on

One more drink and ill move on
One more drink my grace is gone

 

Captain

Crazy as I may
Make my way through this world
It's for no one but me to say
What direction I should turn in now

'Cause I am the captain of this ship
Wanting eyes and kissing lips
The same as it was
And will remain until I'm done
And gone

Strange, but it seems
There's a mutiny brewing inside of me now
I don't want your pity
Just the promise that I'll be alright

'Cause I am the captain of this ship
Curious hands and fingertips
The same as it was
And will be until I'm gone

Ohh
I know
I'm a dreamer
Still
Think its strange
I won't be long for here
Ohh
But I know
That I feel
Wait and go again
Again

Oh look I'm buried
Like a cancer eating away inside of me
I don't want your pity
Only the promise that I'll be okay

Well, I am the captain of this ship
Curious hands and fingertips
The same as it was before here
Here
After all

Why should I be hypnotized
By the promise of a long life
Why should I hold hope in tiny, tiny dribbles that glide by
Why should I lean everything upon
I won't be here long

Ohh
I know I'm a dreamer
Still seems a truth
I won't be long for here
Ohh
It's so, but I think I lay this
On now your lips
I'm drowning

I am the Captain of
Oh
But I'll be okay after all

 

Bartender

If I go
Before I'm old
Oh, Brother of mine
Please don't forget me if I go

Bartender Please,
Fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus
That set him free
After 3 days in the ground

Oh, and if I die
Before my time
Oh sweet sister of mine
Please don't regret me if I die

Bartender Please,
Fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus
That set him free
After 3 days in the ground

Bartender Please,
Fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus
That set him free
After 3 days in the ground

I'm on bended knees I pray
Bartender Please

When I was young I did't think about it
Now I can't get it out of my mind
I'm on bended knees
Father Please

Oh if all this gold
Should steal my soul away
Oh dear Mother of mine
Please redirect me if this gold

Bartender you see
The wine thats drinking me
Came from the vine that strung Judis from the Devil's tree
It's roots deep deep in the ground

Bartender you see
The wine thats drinking me
Came from the vine that strung Judis from the Devil's tree
It's roots deep deep in the ground ground

I'm on bended knees oh
Bartender Please

I'm on bended knees
Father Please

When I was young I did't think about it
Now I just want to run and hide

I'm on bended knees oh
Bartender Please
Bartender Please

 

Monkey Man

Great monkey man's gone the distance
The lucky one's going to get it all
Loving life now
Living on top
The lucky ones always get it all

I'm hungry
Don't want to die like a little dog
Going to take what I can't get
I'm the monkey man with the
Great great monkey plan

Crazy crazy
Little man
You got yourself in tangles

The guilty lies on the cell
You say everything is fine now
Got to keep it up or
Fall behind
Got to keep it up or
Lose the edge we've found

Drive faster
Build higher
Still higher
Dig deeper down
Till what's down in the ground
Is found
Used up and then
Thrown out

Crazy crazy
Little man
What do you think you're doing here

Big beautiful world
Just for us
Good use we must put it to
Anyway I can think to use it up
What will I tell my grandson's grandsons
I could weave a fairy tail
Of great bible thumping scale
When he stands empty hands
On his empty land
Ask happened here great great monkey man

Why did you
Think gray was the color of bliss
You think
I don't know quite what to say
But I'm worried for myself in this

I'm hungry
Don't want to die like a little dog
Well I eat what I can get from the
Monkey man
Great great monkey plan

Crazy crazy
Man you got
Yourself in a pickle

Crazy crazy
Monkey man
Who is the one in the middle

Take a walk
Across the ice
Melts too quickly
For us to reach
The other side

It's cold in here
But the sun shines bright
What's this about
All the tide is
Rising higher

Look it's strange
Floating by
Looks just like ???
Flow out and rise
I will

Golden age
These golden times
Our golden days
Seem to have us
Hypnotized all blind

 

Kit Kat Jam

Coming Soon

 

Raven

Rise and graze on this
The future is a mess
Oh where you take this thing
From us we give it in
No longer enough
What you got your thing
I cheer then empty it from
One over thing

One over thing
Count out the radiant life
Won't you give in now
Out of the reasons
Let a light is run

Stone and gate is lay
Hope you got your lips
Live up to your dreams and give
Wonder you'll but then

Dark and Tossed away
Breach all yourself
On love is a gaze
Gone and Tossed away
Leave the bane stickin in

Oh I'll lay here
Don't give up your down, down, down
We don't need all
Heaven's all underground
Can we leave all
The lord oh its dark, dark
Rain is empty receeded
Here we say nothing more than
My point of view

This pride rains for a girl
She slides across the floor
And looks good as an angel
Watch, I want some more

She's all needed to me
Best thing I can come
Whats all been played with me
The sweetest one of all
The sweetest one of all

Come on Raven give it up
Won't you give the light up
I'm to waiting
Here like a ???
Oh I say this I mean all
Won't you go with your head
Live life till you don't need in it
Don't give up on it

All then tossed away
Ah don't you give up this little stray
Gone then tossed away
Read God is on the page
Pray un ???
Have you say you get down, down, down
Oh we leave here
Need more love round, around, around
They won't let it go on the coward ??
Here no worry, to rest they say nothing more then I wouldn't do

Can leave us love to die
Would you give your love
Rise up you Raven, If you like to live it down on it
Won't let you down here, would you got ????
Raisins up, to spread around the place
God got locked away
No don't place it in time
We walk away
Then rise up your wings
Read the way out of the wars

Oh my lady
Oh all, in all around and round, round
Hey darlin, I know ????
Freedom, Freedom, Freedom, Freedom, Freedom

Oh be this here today is
Nothing more than my point of view
