Eating Bitter
Cast your life to the breeze and you’ll be fine
Call your life what you please and you’ll say ‘mine’
You will not bleed if you meet me there
You will not need when you see me there
You know where
Go ahead risk the thought you think you hate
Your shadow kick-stands you up to keep you straight
You will not bleed if you meet me there
You will not need when you see me there
You know where
Go ahead risk the thought you think you hate
Because you will not bleed if you meet me there
You will not need when you see me there
You know where

Generator
It’s a frenzy of noise and wings in my head
It’s a commune of friends who scream from the nest
If you want to be loved- if you want to be heard
Be the noise. Be the sound. Have no doubt. Be majestic.
Generator - man, can you do me a favor?
Power me up – I’m down
Look at the way we prowl
They don’t know what we’re made of
Generator - I may be down but I’m not beaten
Power me up – I’m down
Look at the way we prowl
They don’t know what we’re made of

Redeemer (The River Song)
I will go to You
I will know You
On the way
on the wave
always
all ways
On the way
on the waves
always
all ways
all ways
always
I will wade
in the wake
Of our love
of mistakes
I will wake
on the way
Always
all ways
I will wait
wide awake
Always - always
All ways - all ways
In all ways
always

Rublev Consciousness
Even though I already know where this will go
Even so I’m so ready to go
I’m so glad to go
Even my blood will bend
I can’t depend on me
Even if I rise slowly
No fascination will lead us through living

To the Tips
Just as I was sure what to do next
You come along to confuse me
Rest assured I’ll be over-acting oversexed
Not that I’d hope you’d excuse me
Cause right about the time I knew
What I could do without anyone
I felt the lie to the tips
I just met you today still it’s safe to say we’re already in trouble
Your grey hairs your two eyes like dares have me seeing double
Cause you smile so soon - so clear
Like a child while I was near you
And I feel the lie just at the tips
How will I sleep – how will I sleep
I’m feeling breathless – here in my bubble
How will I sleep, how will I sleep
I’m getting wreckless and I finally found trouble
So I lean on the goldsmith
Her two twin nickles with a glint of sun in the sand
I could turn on her dime or I could linger
But to take your mind off biding your time til I hold you in the palm of my hand
I’ll keep you under my thumb while I’ll be wrapped around your finger
Cause you smile so soon – so clear
Like a child while I was near you
And I felt alive to the tips
How will I sleep – how will I sleep
I’m feeling breathless – here in my bubble
How will I sleep, how will I sleep
I’m getting wreckless and I finally found trouble
Dear don’t dare hear a thing that you speak…

Smoke Has Exploded
Hey it’s been smoking for a long time
It looked like a little spark from a wire
Well you know what they say ‘where there’s smoke there’s fire’
Now smoke has exploded into a smile
I don’t want to have to fear and I don’t want to fly
Fly to get away from you out of place in the light
I don’t want to have to fear and I don’t want to fly
Fly to get away from you out of place in the light
Hey I’ve been broken for a long time
Or so it looks as I walk the long line
Well you know what they say ‘where there’s smoke there’s fire’
Now smoke has exploded to a smile
I don’t want to have to fear and I don’t want to fly
Fly to get away from you out of place in the light
I don’t want to have to fear and I don’t want to fly
Fly to get away from you out of place in the light
Can you hope to see the pattern
I don’t love what I don’t want to
Can you hope to see my passion
I don’t love what I don’t want to
Can you hope to see
I don’t love what I don’t want to

Christmas in Cherryfield
It’s Christmas time in my heart – forgiving mine has got to start
We can’t go on brokenhearted now – just forget how we started now
You thunderhead – you thunderhead
And you said Wake up, wake up, wake up you sleepyhead
Now I say Wake up, wake up, wake up you sleepyhead
It didn’t go like we thought it should – it never goes as we think it should
I was a sleepyhead
We can’t get there where we started from – ‘you’ve got to be openhearted son’
You sleepyhead – you are a sleepyhead
I see your mind it’s storming over there – I feel my love for you forming over here
You know I love you, you know I do – just let me in let love come on through
Wake up wake up wake up you sleepyhead
Wake up wake up wake up you sleepyhead
And I say wake up etc.

Shadowboxing
Finger puppets moving - how the finger puppets move!
Shadowboxing with you - hoping that the shadows prove
it looks like shaking hands but the arms move, too…
One eye on the shadow theatre and one eye on you
I see what you’re saying - I see how you say it too
Punching at my laughter - You never follow through
It looks like giving in but your charms move, too
One eye on the shadow theatre and one eye on you
You – married to the desert
Hoarding all your water
Living all alone ‘cause you’re the cactus daughter
Needles reaching farther than the things you don’t choose to say
Cause then I’d know
Finger puppets moving - how the finger puppets move!
Shadowboxing with you - hoping that the shadows prove it
looks like shaking hands but the arms move, too.
One eye on the shadow theatre, and one eye on you.

Artemis and Indecision
I take my hunting seriously.
And drown in the vanishing of the light.
I see the filling cups of satisfaction -
Ape swing along the jungle gym - knocking my knees against the crowns.
I am one to find out where the fevered ride with daring horses!
Climbing down the ladder of years to see
a boomerang of laughter, haloing my head to make it holy.
I take my hunting seriously-
And drown in the vanishing of the light.
Please believe me
Please believe me

Waving
I am waving to you like fields of grain
I am waiting for you while the river drains
just because you’re paranoid it doesn’t mean they’re not chasing you
and just because it fills the void it doesn’t mean you’re not wasting you
I am dreaming walking into the river and if you wouldn’t wake me we’d be there
