City Rain

been drinking the city rain, sinking in the city rain
it’s been pouring all night and day…
thinking i’d love to have a band with you, we could play some of your tunes
I like the way you open my eyes
I went to meet you there in Amsterdam, late to the station, I practically ran
you slept in, knowing I’d get on the wrong train (I got on the wrong train!)
when did I leave the front step of your door, and think to believe
that elsewhere there’d be more?
oh, to think I believed that elsewhere there’d be more…
well it wasn’t every single day we wound up on a subway train
I didn’t think I’d miss the drive, when you were showing me the longer way home
never leading to the interstate, no
when did I leave the front step of your door, and think to believe
that elsewhere there’d be more?
oh, to think I believed that elsewhere there’d be more…
been drinking the city rain, sinking in the city rain

oh, to think I believed that elsewhere there’d be more!

Studying politics,
the ins and the outs
of the free world as we’ve come
to know of it now
scared of a desk job
becoming her mother
she thinks there’s no other way out
Well there’s nothing but time for you now
(if you want it)
Nothing but time for you now
Nothing but time for you now
Taking the hard way at eight in the morning
it’s hard to stay warm
have some faith in yourself
cause you’re nothing but everything I can be sure of
I’d say I adore you if I were allowed
Well there’s nothing but time for you now
(if you want it)
Nothing but time for you now
Nothing but time for you now
Nancy Sinatra
headphones on a park bench
the summertime soundtrack
you’re spending apart from the
head space of all of these flaws in democracy
life’s a mess darling hang on to your heart
Well there’s nothing but time for you now
(if you want it)
Nothing but time for you now
Nothing but time for you now
leaving the countryside
set for the city
I’ve never seen something so lovely before

Call it Good Times

Call it good times
Call it bad
Call it everything I want but never had
Call it bad times
Call it good
Call it everything I wish I said but never would
Call me a stud (hey stud)
Then crash my car (then crash my car)
I'll be your boy it doesn't matter who you are
I'll be the hole (the hole)
If you can dig (if you can dig)
And let me know how life is looking from the pits
I must be somebody's problem (you know it)
Why can't that someone be you
I tried it once before but no one opened up the door and looked at me the way that you do
I say you good?
What's got your goose, love?
I ask again she says something along the lines of
"Life tries to put me in a box
And once it starts it never parts it never stops"
I must be somebody's problem (you know it)
Why can't that somebody be you?
I feel so damn unsure I'm always coming back for more and I only hope that you want me to
I must be somebody's angel
Somebody's angel is me
So if I'm half the contender
that I'm pretending to be
I must be somebody's problem
but what a problem to be
so if you need a solution
Then don't come looking for me

Sarah and the Moon
05:11

bring my lunar questions to her feet
then I up and run like hell
standing like a constellation queen
least as far as I can tell
Tired of dreaming
living in vain
Sarah and the Moon
It’s all the same
Standing in the parking lot like old friends
speaking incoherently
staring at my shoelace
wondering if I had just climbed into a dream
search my mind for phrases
as to keep her from the calling of the door
Got the gaze that makes me feel
as if I’ve never seen the moon before
Talking about the Pixies
and the proper homebound train
Sarah and the Moon
It’s all the same
Cosmic by nature
common by name
Sarah and the Moon
It’s all the same
M.O.O.N
Sarah and the Moon
It’s all the same
Sarah and the Moon
It’s all the same

Wonderful Photography

I’ve seen it once and now again
the changing of your coastal winds
I should know I’ve changed the breeze before
Guess I should have known it when
a stranger's face became a trend in that
wonderful photography of yours
well I guess
Still just a fool with that
same old pain
same old pain
same old pain
in my chest
Tried to turn my shoulder cold
seems to have results I’m told
but I’m finding that it only works one way
Though I try to play it cool
I’m still the same old sorry fool
that you wouldn’t have expected anyway
well I guess
Still just a fool in that
same old pain
same old pain
same old pain
in my chest
I’m no saint
you’re no angel
What are we trying to prove?
before I become a stranger like the rest
Still just a fool with that
same old pain
same old pain
same old pain
same old pain
In my chest

JELLYFISH

I’m home at night only to find the day has gone again
the cat survived but all my flowers died…
someday I’ll water them,
someday I’ll water them!
my dress is rich with jellyfish and they’re swimming ‘round the room
come in the door, easy as three or four
I’ll be dancing with you too,
I’ll be dancing with you too!
alone tonight, maybe I really don’t mind
there’s something I can’t recall…
if downtown intrigued me, there’d be nothing there at all
there’d be nothing there at all!
(oh)

I Can't Skate

I can’t skate
but I think I could try
you see, I’m so tired of standing behind
who I’d much rather roll beside
head in my heart in my hand
praise the flower
heart in my hand
(thank you)
