"...I understood the voices in songs. I'm not sure they had anything more interesting to say but it sounded like it..."
Take those times from the park
Take my clothes from your hanger
I've had half a mind to leave Caroline
And remove my string from your finger
-TORI'S BLUE (Beth's Blues Too)
There's pictures of you
Runnin' through my mind
Like a train coming down the line
- THEY'RE THE ONES THAT KILL
Ain't noone getting younger
And some are going blind
I'd like to see your face just once
With your eyes open wide
- 4-29-05
Baby, look out your door
Through the frost and the cold
Baby, look out your door
At the sun gray and gold
Well, them nights sure gonna be long
When the winter blues fall
-WHEN THE WINTER BLUES FALL

COME FALLIN' TIME
I've known many who dress in the black night
The kind who know the highway line
They tie your hands to the wheel
With chains of lace and Jasmine twine and
Baby, do as you will
Let's just keep this one thing in mind
We're all just leaves come fallin' time
Hold all the cigars you have not lit
Until you're sure of your breath
Don't get crazy with blowing smoke
No words now, let's just mime this out
And if there's things that must be spoke
Let's just keep this one thing in mind
We're all just leaves come fallin' time
Draw not red of blood with children swords
Unless you know what you're killing for
Will you sell your dreams for sleep at night
Rest your head now, let the waves drown
It's ok, it'll be alright
If you keep this one thing in mind
We're all just leaves come fallin' time

BETTER THAN YOU LET ON
Wasn't I good to you?
Oh, wasn't I good to you?
Tell me what wrong did I ever do?
Oh, wasn't I good to you?
You didn't have to ask twice
You didn't have to ask twice
Everything right before your eyes
You didn't have to ask for twice
I even let you in once
I even let you in once
I let you in and you took what you liked
And then I let you in twice
So wasn't I good to you?
So wasn't I good to you?
Oh, tell me what wrong did I ever do?
Wasn't I good to you?
But don't worry about it none
Don't worry about it none
It's alright, I've done moved on
But wasn't I good to you?
Wasn't I good to you?
Wasn't I good to you?
Tell me what wrong did I ever do?
Wasn't I good to you?

WHEN THE WINTER BLUES FALL
Baby, look out your door
Through the frost and the cold
Baby, look out your door
At the sun gray and gold
Well, them nights sure gonna be long
When the winter blues fall
And all I want from you
Yes, all I ask of you
Is take all my weary blues
There's a cold wind comin',
A cold wind comin' south
There's a cold wind comin',
A cold wind comin' south
Ain't nothin' you can do
She's a comin' on down
And all I want from you
Yes, all I'll ask of you
Is take all my weary blues
Well I don't got a dime
and the pockets fell off my jeans
Well I don't got a dime
and the pockets off my jeans
Baby, please please
Come spend some time with me
And all I want from you
All I'll ask of you
Is take all my weary blues
Yes, all I'll ask of you
All I want from you
All I require of you
All I admire 'bout you
Is take all my weary blues

MORNIN' LIGHT OVER BEULAH
Well, I see the mornin' light
Well, I see the mornin' light
Well, her skies are blue
Oh, and her hair shines bright
Well, I've been holdin' out for you
Well, I've been holdin' out for you
So come on here now
Oh, and hold me too
Well, I'm countin' the clock's ticks
Well, I'm countin' all the tock's too
Fourteen hundred forty minutes
Oh, just to be with you
Where you been for so long it seems
Where you been for so long it seems
Since I first saw you
Oh, In my dreams

SO COMPLETELY BLUE
Who's gonna tie the blue in your hair?
Who's gonna do it with love?
Who's gonna know the things that I knowed?
Who's gonna tie you up in bows?
Who's gonna tie that blue in your hair?
I bet on the long shot and paid the cost
I bet on you, love, and, love, we lost
Now I can't even stand to get close
To you or your blue tied up in bows
To you or that blue in your hair
Out on some ship or in some mine
It's so clear, dear, that I was blind
Would've layed this thing down from 9 to 5
Just to be the one who tied
Just to tie that blue in your hair
Who's gonna tie that blue in your hair?
Who's gonna do it with love?
Who's gonna know the things that I knowed?
Who's gonna tie you up in bows?
Who's gonna tie that blue in your hair?
I see you out most every week
Tied up in blue from head to feet
But I wouldn't ask, I would not dare
Ask who tied that blue in your hair
Who tied that blue in your hair?
Who's gonna tie that blue in your hair?
Who's gonna do it with love?
Who's gonna know the things that I knowed?
Who's gonna tie you up in bows?
Who's gonna tie that blue in your hair?
Who's gonna tie you in blue?

STICKIN' TO MY SHOES
You never asked me my name
You just thought that you knew
Now when I tell you you're wrong
You don't know who's tellin' you
You said you knew my face
Some place you'd been, somewhere
You don't believe when I say
That I've never been anywhere
You go by what you heard
'Cause it sounded good
There you go again
A-stickin' to my shoes
You're in wonder of my umbrella
With a look on your face like a stain
But you don't hear me when I tell you
You don't need one if you give up the rain
Now it's stormin' softly
And you're soaked to the bone
But you would drown just to prove
That you couldn't float
You go by what you heard
'Cause it sounded good
There you go again
A-stickin' to my shoes
What is the malfunction?
How are you wired so wrong?
It's like you never made the connection
'Tween the bruises and the stones
You live your life like a child
Got your nose and other lies
C'mon, prove it, prove it just once
That you're a big kid now
You go by what you heard
'Cause it sounded good
There you go again
A-stickin' to my shoes

12 O'CLOCK SORROW
My hands are covered in time
Hot burning, slow turning time
On my palms are fingerprints of those left behind
But I didn't leave, I was carried in the hands of time
The mirror is a cruel trick to those who indulge
Guess who you are today and try to remember who you once were
It's a hard road when you follow all those weary lines
Back to the day you were led away
Like you were blind
By the hands of time
Return To Top
4-29-05
I can smell the fire burning
From your dumb luck match
But everybody knows that faith don't gamble
And desire's only a back
And you've been spinning for years
In this ball of time
Ain't noone getting younger
And some are going blind
I'd like to see your face just once
With your eyes open wide
I'd turn on the lights
A thousand nights
If I thought you'd ever know them
But you just keep on going
I'd turn on the lights
A thousand nights
If I thought you'd ever know them
And the sea ain't talking
The sky won't say hello
It ain't ever even seen your face
Down here below
Or it'd burn out it's light
Every day and night
If you would show then
But you're just the wind
That keeps on blowing

AMBARINA
(Junior Jones/Mange Ansikter)
So you find yourself sleeping
In all these circus lights
I jump your rope each Sunday
And it ain't right
Pick up the newspaper
In the smoke of my cigarette
All these black and white tragedies
Are stuck in my head
Put on your dancing shoes
Twirl around my heartache
We'll fake it 'til the weekend
or 'til something breaks
Get inside of my mind
And tear it all to shreds
Make yourself at home
And put yourself in bed
Can't read your sign language
Can't see by your milliion lights
Your voice is somehow dead
And it ain't right

BALLERINA WAR
Little girl, people die in war
Little girl, people die in war
But you wanna take your hair down and kill some more
Now that you're older
Little girl, don't gotta fight so hard
Little girl, don't gotta try so hard
But you wanna take your hair down and feel someone
You ain't gotta be a soldier
What happened to your dancing show?
Who went and tied all your bows?
Who bought the girl that couldn't be sold,
young and beautiful?
Little girl = a woman in a tragic world
Little girl = a woman in a tragic world
Little girls, only in bows and curls
Constanly exploding
What happened to your dancing show?
Who went and tied all your bows?
Who bought the girl that couldn't be sold,
young and beautiful?

BEULAH FOR A WHILE
(see MORNIN' LIGHT OVER BEULAH)
Well I've been holdin'
Out for you
I've been holdin'
Out for you
Well come on, come here, come now
Oh, and hold me too
Where you been for
So long it seems
Where you been for
So long it seems
Since I first saw you
In my dreams
Now I won't build you
No mountain
I ain't gonna steal you
Steal you no seas
But maybe we can learn
Oh, just how it can be

DESIRE
(Jason Carver/Mange Ansikter)
Sometimes there's not much here at all
Even me
I fade away in to what could
Never be
My mistake and my wrong
Amidst a stage singing the wrong songs
Romance a world to lay here
Here with me
Kiss her face but she don't
She won't see
Says she feels closer to home
And I should be
She cries all day and walks when
I go to sleep
My days short and my nights long
Amidst a stage singing the wrong songs
Burnt out on all the running off
Amidst a stage singing the wrong songs
Sometimes I fade out
And I don't got no way now
To call myself on the phone
And let me know that I've been home
Just on the stage
Singing the wrong songs
Return To Top
DISAPPEAR LIKE GARBO
'Til the last curtain falls
We won't think of the curtain call
Lets just drive thing as far as it will go
There's a show going on
And the stage lights are on
Just thought I'd let you know what you are
Baby like a star
Ain't gotta pack up and go
Or disappear like Garbo
Just stay where you are
Ain't gotta move at all
Now no need hide or lie
Tell the truth, it'll be alright
I'll only ask you one time just what you are
Baby like a star
There's no poisons to choose from
You can smoke or chew gum
You can roll just like the sun or you can fall
Baby like a star

HOTEL
Scrambling through my mind's alleys
Ooh, catch me and love me if you can
You look my way, I forget
Everything I just said
I'm not golden
I just used to be white
Silver lining
All these clouds in the sky
Bring me so high
Don't look down
It's just you here
Skyline falling to the sand
The sun is drowning in the ocean again
Can you still see me with my glasses on
Ooh, catch me and love me if you want
Traveling the length of my heart
Said stumbling over all the rocks
Sing to myself
To remember that I sing
Here's to you
And what is left of me
That brings me so high
Don't look down
It's just you here
Skyline falling to the sand
The sun is drowning in the ocean again
But don't look down
Don't look down
It's just you here
Skyline falling to the sand
The sun is drowning in the ocean again

I GUESS I TOLD THE WORLD A JOKE
I guess I told the world a joke today
And I'm the only one that didn't laugh
Yeah, they all laughed until I cried
So I guess I told the world
a joke today
I said I didn't need the things I once needed
And I didn't want the things for which I once pleaded
What do you get when a fool such as I
Finally comes down enough
to see the light
I guess I told the world
a joke today
And I'm the only one that didn't laugh
Yeah, they all laughed until I cried
So I guess I told the world
a joke today
Yeah, they all laughed until I cried
So I guess I told the world
a joke today

MUD SOAKED AND CRYING
When the lights have lost all their shine
And the night is only mine
Oh, tell me where did I go wrong
When friends are just hands out of reach
That can't pull me back to my feet
Oh, tell me where did I go wrong
When I haunt all the same old places
But they don't look the same
It's as dark as dark could be there
'Cause the light of my life has gone up in flames
When I search for a way to remember
But all I find are shackles of stone
Oh, tell me where did I go wrong

MY BLUE MOON
I got a blue moon
In a pocket of charms
And there's a hole in the wall
Lookin' over a garden
I watched many bloom
Young, fair and wild
And wondered at the dead
'til I forgot the time
My blue moon
My blue moon, child
My blue moon
My blue moon, child
I reached down my hand
In my pocket that night
To hang my blue moon
In the sky to shine
But when I reached down my hand
In my pocket of charms
Just felt my rusted sun
And a clover with a broken arm
My blue moon
My blue moon, child
My blue moon
My blue moon, child
Yes, my fingers they raced
Up and down my pocket
Everything was there
But what I wanted
Yes, I wept 'til I cried
And my eyes now hurt to look
And the sky was so dark
Could not believe my luck
The moral of this story is
Charm is easy to lose
One hole in the wall and I'll never find
My blue moon
My blue moon, child

RIGHT DON'T MEAN PERFECT
We stood on the pavement
Falling like spiders
Weaving our tangled web
Pretending that it mattered
We drew our swords to fight off the night
Helplessly out of control
But it felt so right when we
Walked off the edge of the world
Right don't mean perfect
That's just a state of mind
Right don't mean together
But don't cry tonight
I'm alright
You had alot to say
When you left
I listened to it all
But didn't hear half
We drew our swords
But died by the night
Helplessly out of control
But it felt so right when we
Dove off the edge of the world
Dove off the edge of the world
Right don't mean perfect
That's just a state of mind
Right don't mean together
But don't cry tonight
I'm alright
I'm just a little blistered
I'm just a little blistered
But I'm alright
I'm alright

THEY'RE THE ONES THAT KILL
Almost got my head in the right place
Almost sure is a long fall
Almost's are alright
Almost's are okay
It's the not quites that hit so hard
And the never really tried's are the ones
That make you bleed
And the reason you can't sleep is the phones
That never ring
So you turn on the radio
So you don't have to feel
But they're playing a song
That reminds you they're gone
And you're praying to God
That it'll go off
But it just goes on still
They're the ones that kill
Pinning your eyes shut with all your might
It stings your pride but you make it by
There's pictures of you
Runnin' through my mind
Like a train coming down the line
But the goodbye is the one
That runs you down
And you never hear their voice again
Without that sound
So you turn on the radio
Their voice to still
But they're pictures on the wall
That you can't take off
And you're praying to God
That they'll just fall
But they just sit still
They're the ones that kill

TORI'S BLUE (Beth's Blues Too)
Take your car from my street
Don't even blow your smoke out the window
And you best find somewhere else to park
And remove my string from your finger
Take my memories from your drawer
Take the blues that still lingers
And find another shore to dock your past
And remove my string from your finger
Take your name from every mouth
Be it brother or stranger
And you might want to find another one that suits your face
And remove my string from your finger
Take those times from the park
Take my clothes from your hanger
I've had half a mind to leave Caroline
And remove my string from your finger
Return To Top
YOUR BLACKEST MONSTERS
No matter how many times
I've cried and tried and plead
Tried to make you a bed to lay
Your eyes are wide
True and tried
But the blue is turning to gray
I'd battle all your blackest monsters
But we both know there's no way
You know you've seen better yesterdays
But that ain't no reason to dream
Across the way
Is the glowing of colors
Chasing away tomorrows pain
But that ain't enough
To close your eyes
Or make you swim the thoughts on your brain
Across the floor is the mad rolling of marbles
I guess you sort of like the sound they make
You know you've seen better yesterdays
But that ain't no reason to dream
You see no reason to dream
