Thirty Three and a Third

all over from the begining
you knew what the test should be
the result's in now you want to argue with chemistry
so we wait
for a change
and we’re forced to carry on on with what remains
born on the wrong day heard him say that dreams are a commodity
off the record, the one he was spinning at thirty three
and a third
now’s your chance
will you bring the harvest home and join the dance?
and they break
scattering around the place
moving to the sound in waves
the promise of a better place
now forever he will ...
all done for the widow’s son, they changed “Canaveral” to “Kennedy”
pave the way for the coming explosion at thirty three and a third

Pure Poetry

I’ve tried too many times - can’t find the words to say
out and seein’ the sights - before it’s time to play
vanish into the night - just let ‘em take the show
well it wouldn’t be right - still with so far to go
the latest gear - but all they bring
are boring tunes with no melody
I’ve been given “the talk” - I know when I can’t stay
let the promises fall - I’ll end up where I may
then back in on the one - we’ll let the record play
‘til the music is done - everyone’s left the stage
pure poetry - in twos and threes
they drift away on the evening breeze
then back in on the one - get up roll up a sleeve
until everything’s done - this is where you’ll find me

it’ll take you if you let it
so go ahead and let it
don’t ask “are we there yet?”
just go along with it
works best to pretend
you don’t notice it
gonna head to montana
there’s a mountain to climb
if you ask why, i’ll answer back with that old cliche “because it’s there”
but that’s not really why
come on and join in
it’s more fun with more friends
a chance to catch up with
Anna and her kids
tell her we’ll be fine
we’ll drive through the night
dressed in her morning gown
children all around
now the view is clear
go tell them we’re here
traveling from the coastline
to the summit
go tell them we’re here
go tell them we’re here
go tell them we’re here

well then, welcome in!
you’re ok now, I’m on your side
look at the view here
you’ve been out on this road for awhile
and the lines switched
and her arms twitched
and the mind slips
and her bracelets
when the fog lifts
and it’s common sense
now you’re part of it
you’re part of it now
she delivers with perfect timing
her best line-it had us howling
never really saw for certain
was she here live and in person?
in the barn dip
and the cool whip
and the lost grip
and the sides flip
on the wrong trip
with a long clip
and we’re all in it
we’re all in it now

see how high we’ve climbed it’s a special thing
pour it in pour it up, everybody sing!
haven’t been since I don’t know when and I can’t go out in the shape I’m in
throw it out throw it in roll it up like string
climbing up into the night, I know that you’re waiting for me
I wake up and there you are, or maybe I’m still asleep
Annie’s place in the stars what a sight to see
for the gem in her crown, lapis lazuli
if you go in there’s a price to pay, and the price ain’t cheap-hey, but that’s ok
I'd be there all the time if it were up to me
climbing up into the night, I know that you’re waiting for me
I wake up and there you are, or maybe i’m still asleep
rising up into the light, I know that you’re waiting for me
I wake up and there you are, or maybe it’s all a dream

Yaaaaaa!

in a room that’s so blue - Where they were deciding
how we would fare
from the onset you knew - That it would devour you
but you didn’t care
so glad I saw you in that beautiful place
it was all I could do just to return your gaze
on a river so pale, we all heard the voices
no one said a thing
and it all was for sale from April to August
you bought a ring
you know that I’m still here - I never went away
darling I’m waiting in the garden today
on a bayou causeway driving home from New Orleans
you put on the brakes
at the end of the day when you found your undoing - ended the race
thought it was over then you took their place
all the world knows you did so get that look off your face

Stones Throw Away
04:13

tiny little point where the light pours out
writing down what’s said
still notes to finish as the time runs out
almost had it
arrive in style
gettin' there was so hard
can only take it so far
out of things to say
and when she smiles
I see it in a new light
shorter as the crow flies
a stone’s throw away
and I’ll be coming down her way
and then you find
the little things that she hides
only shows the good side
ate all the grapes
until next time
they’re giving you a new chore
something new to live for
your turn on the stage
a zillion times
sorting through what she said
angels on a pinhead
photographs and tapes
so pick your side
whichever one that you’re on
the old one or the new one
you know they’re the same
maybe I called it in too late
arrive in style
gettin' there was so hard
can only take it so far
elevate the day
and when she smiles
I see it in a new light
shorter as the crow flies
a stone’s throw away
and then you find
the little things that she hides
only shows the good side
ate all the grapes
until next time
they’re giving you a new chore
something new to live for
your turn on the stage
a zillion times
sorting through what she said
angels on a pinhead
photographs and tapes
so pick your side
whichever one that you’re on
the old one or the new one
you know they’re the same
I guess I called it in too late

here we are and ain't it great
started out in ‘98
enjoy the view but don’t be late
choices must be made
back again with our old friends
such a gas to be with them
everybody joinin’ in, let the music play
in a time-lapse shot
look at all you’ve got
out there in the crowd
with your head up in the clouds
at the top and swimming in
porcelain and vermilion
nothing wrong with steppin' in
that’d be where she found me
sure the wine it played a part
our decline state of the art
boys don’t ever give your heart
to a girl from Cheatham county
in a time-lapse shot
look at all we’ve got
out there in the crowd
with our head up in the clouds

we are just visiting this place
we were born in outer space
ever since that fall from grace
I’ve been trying to replace
Why is it that
I’m so drawn
to your face and
into your eyes?
It's as if I know you from somewhere before
so I know now where it flows
and I’ll know her when she shows
now is not yet time to go
there are still things I need to know

Plan 'B'

With the mornin’ comin’
Everyone goes in
All the things that I made
They all fail in the end
When the brilliant sun is
Calling us to it
I’ll be there, just you wait
I’ll go storming on in
When what’s done is undone
The premises cave in
I’ll be there to bring you back
We can start it all again
I will be the last one
Ready to step in
There I go, now I know
We were already at the end.
There’ll come a day, when I face what’s in store
A big, busted egg, we’ll rebuild like before
That’ll have to wait, but I know what it’s for (and where we’re going)
The heroes and the monsters
You thought were make believe
They’re all here, real as everything
You ever conceived
Now the show is over
The dream has all been dreamed
They’re all gone, but we’re still here
Are you coming home with me?
