Indignation Vindication
02:54

shoulder height overboard
that's a place in my heart
heavy to hold
Johny Whites on the shore
glowing lights in the dark
and anything goes
in the palms of my hands
and the sand on my feet
up and over the trees
I got carried away
carried through the days
I'm a supple thief
this I know
this I know
it's a neck tattoo
it's breakfast booze
quick to chew
hard to swallow
what a noble price
it's as cold as ice
if you live to lose
tomorrow
this I know
this I know
vacant on vacation
latently in love
there's an ending
and it's indignation
let's get carried away
from this place
swim up and climb onboard
pull yourself up
and get your vindication
this I know
this I know

The Worst is In Behind
01:59
|

|
the worst is in behind
I'm working overtime
and space
the day breaks
love lights shine
a bareback enterprise
rarely advertized
oh yeah
a clean slate
for a dream state
sweet summer sounds
all year round
we're railroad trekking in the country on a summer night
a summer's night
the worst is in behind
I'm working overtime
and space
on track again
future's bright
the worst is in behind
I'm working overtime
and space
a freight train
headlights shine

Wet and Dry
02:45
|

|
got the news on the telephone
my baby won't make it home
she's dead and alive
my misery televised
the doobies just make me cry
I'm wet and dry
ain't no fucking way
it's a sucky place
but a lucky day
soon I'll be tuned
to the soothing cool
I'm tried and true
looks like you're shovelling snow
touch gloves let's go
looks like we're shovelling snow
two-seated her limousine
I knew she was into me
she let me drive
limelight in the night sky
a withering white lie
I'm tied into
went from loosely tied
to a bloody rite
alright
ain't no fucking lie
it's a bad excuse
for a good old time
heard the news on the radio
they're missing Miss Amy-O
she's dead and alive
my history televised
the movies just make me cry
I'm wet and dry
ain't no fucking way
it's a sucky place
but a lucky day
ain't no fucking lie
it's a bad excuse
for a good old time

Reverse and Send it
03:31
|
|||
|
reverse and send it
a downhill course
how many ages to settle your scores
look back to go
back and forth
ending what is not yours
fast track down memory lane
past flashbacks
memories wane
past generations of names and claims
just to come up again
it's alright
open your heart if your open your mind
on peak and my train arrives
scarlet to starlit skies
say yes
I'll hitch a ride
to whatever place is on my mind
hot seat and starlit skies
back in the hot seat and starlit skies
whatever place is on my mind
open your heart when you close your eyes

Alone and it's Christmas
04:08
|

terminal lift-off
go out in a criss-cross
the scenery shifting scale in the distance
from sharing a kiss to quietly walking away
a beer in the bistro
what did I do this for
a journey to reacquaint, reminisce or
to carry the bliss of the buzz and call it a day
at home in the district
alone and it's Christmas
so pack up and go
it's usual business
from caring too deeply to idly talking away
got me a wrist watch
I found in a thrift shop
I'm keeping it although it broke in an instant
the later it gets the sooner I'll give it away
and while I wandered on the tracks
I always wondered what was next
step off, check in, go out, what next
turn on, tune in, drop out, relax
then we'd share our stories on the go
'cause we've told and heard and seen it all
we'll be here now, well see you then
I'm gonna be off the tracks and in the wind

Back to Earth
02:55
|
|||
|
ivy and the ferns once buried
blossom in the creeks
I give back to earth with every mushroom that I reap
I'm smiling at the world
means I was shattered in a dream
I blithely return and see what matters it reveals
while you shun the words of others
know that they'll be
waiting on the surface if you toss 'em in the deep
carrying a burden took the color from my cheeks
then everything occurred without me
as soon as I peaked
silent and in motion
find my body in the fields
islands in an ocean carry my reality
I look back at birth
don't have a single memory
images are blurred
so I'm beginning to believe
on your feet in early mornings
busying the streets
bumblebees and birds unhurried
are buzzing in the trees
why space out to search for something that you'll never see
I get back to earth with every mushroom that I eat

The Best is Yet to Come
01:18
|
|||
|
the best is yet to come
as it has come and gone
yeah
unfazed
no displays
the best is yet to come
as it has come and gone
yeah
no grace
no disgrace
the best is yet to come
as it has come and gone
yeah
ungazed upon

To Tarapoto
04:05
|
|||
|
to Tarapoto I'm on my way
from the mountains into the valley
in the rearview a cautious smile
it's a warm common place in a cool cool night
ever since I put on my backpack'n shoes
there's no home for me to go back to
Tarapoto I'm here to stay
Tarapoto when I'm away
ever after ever since
I'm going back and I've never been
ever since I put on my backpack'n shoes
there's no home for me to go back to

Forgot the Time
03:47
|
|||
|
forgot the time
forgot how to read and write my lines
sobering heights
I shoulder my bag and make my flight
close to home
closer to those who come and go
and I suppose
the feeling's not here nor there anymore
I got out and came back 'round
let's hang out and make a day of it
yeah
brought some things that just can't be found
little less than when I set out
touch down late at night
trains of thought on a train
I'm passing by
familial sights
a knock at the door
I step inside
found a place to go
it's just up the street and down the road
and I've seen it before
I just don't remember anymore
I got out and came back 'round
let's hang out and make a day of it
yeah
brought some things that just can't be found here
little less than when I set out
going places to view the sky
passport put a stamp inside
in the city you see all types
and I'm like
need the country to realize mine
I got out and came back 'round
let's hang out and make a day of it
yeah
brought some things that just can't be found here
little less than when I set out
going places to view the sky
passport put a stamp inside
in the city you see all types
and I'm like
need the country to realize mine
touch down and view the sky
passport put a stamp inside
the country revealed my type
and I'm like
need the city to realize mine
see you soon when I make my rounds
let's hang out and make a day of it
yeah
there's some things that just can't be found
can't wait to get back out
