WAR ON
THERE’S A WAR ON, BETWEEN YOU AND ME
NOT SURE WHY WE’RE FIGHTING, BUT WE’RE ARMED TO THE TEETH.
NO WHITE FLAGS, CAUSE IT’S TOO FAR Along
NO one WANTS TO BE HERE OR THE FIRST ONE GONE.
CAN’T TELL WHO'S WON, CAUSE WE’VE BOTH BEEN KEEPING SCORE
TWO VERSIONS OF THE TRUTH; NO WAY TO WIN A WAR
Chorus: WE DON’T KNOW, HOW TO LIVE IN PEACE
NEITHER ONE WANTS THE FIGHT TO CEASE
WE’LL NEVER SEE THE DAWN
OUR LOVE IS TOO FAR GONE
THERE’S A WAR ON.
REFUSED TO STAY DOWN, ON THE GROUND
COULDN’T RUN FOR COVER, DIDN’T DUCK My Head
There's a war on, and it's easy to see
There's a war on, between you & me.
Repeat chorus.

Pocahontas, AR
Two hours south into Arkansas
there's a place we can go, to slip by the law
we were young and foolish, but you agreed
to give it all up and come away with me
give it all up and come away with me.
We made a lot of noise in Yellville
changed a flat in horseshoe bend
before the night was upon us,
we drove into Pocahontas
I said I never want this day to end,
I never want this night to end.
Chorus: Our love was good in the Natural State
had to drive south, we couldn't wait
guess our whirlwind wedding
wasn't love at first sight
thought we'd be together for the rest of our lives
thought we'd be together for the rest of our lives.
9am we were first in line
no waiting, no witness gonna make you mine
$40 wedding bands will suit us well
only gold-plated and they look like hell
only gold-plated and they look like hell.
Two days later, we got back in the car
drove till we ran out of gas
barely passed New Madrid, when we fell out of love
should've known then we were going to fast
should have known then we were moving too fast
Repeat Chorus.

The Ship

the ship
Once a mighty vessel that's finally run aground
He's Lost his sense of meaning and no one is around
His best friend was a captain and they served their country.
They made important voyages far across the sea.
Chorus: Everyone needs something
To show for what they've done
Everyone need something
after its said and done
He was built to go to battle and carry men to war.
But Time took hold and rusted out his core.
He let them add paint and cover up his wounds.
Never really thinking of his impending doom.
the captain came to say goodbye.
With tears in my eyes I smiled
He raised his head and looked at me and I knew the reason why
He spoke of one last mission where the ocean meets The sky.
Repeat Chorus
Old ship on the water pulled into the shore
Got nowhere to go now, to not needed anymore.

GONE
Today is the day that
we celebrate your birthday
Light some candles
and think about what might have been.
With a cardboard standee
that we'll put up in effigy
plastic flowers sitting there
as if they'll be seen.
You didn't come back an amputee
but I lost a part of me
a scar that time won't erase
but I'll be there
when the last stones in place
said I'll be there
when the last stones in place.
Chorus:
Gone too long x 3
and we go on.
You weren't lost in a battle
not lost in a fight
you came home
wrapped up in stars & stripes.
I consulted a psychic
for the first and the last time
a lady palm reader who told me
about cleansing my soul
Standing in the window
staring at the crowd below
see the look on her face
but she'll be there
when the last stones in place
said I'll be there
when the last stone's in place.
Repeat Chorus

Mr. Machine
Hey, Mr. Machine, what have you seen?
You know where I’ve been. Will you turn me in?
Hey, Mr. Machine, have I been obscene?
Will you put me on the list?
Will I be missed?
Chorus: You are my judge, you are my jury.
What is my punishment? Did I evoke your fury?
Hey Mr. Machine, you remain unseen. Always watching us, there’s nothing to discuss.
Hey Mr. Machine, is that a guillotine? I am sentenced to death, by a thing that draws no breath.
Repeat chorus x2

Tightrope

Come on up here on the tightrope, there's room enough for two
if you feel a little dizzy, I've got a hand to steady you
When you wake up underwater, and you're alone down there,
don't forget that we're together, soon we'll come up for air.
Climb aboard we'll see the world, we don't need an ocean view,
if you feel a little seasick, I've got a lifeboat made for two.
If someone hits you with a brick, don't fall down to the ground,
stand up and stop the bleeding, and check the lost and found.
Come on up here on the tightrope, there's room enough for two
if you feel a little dizzy, I've got a hand to steady you
When you wake up underwater, and you're alone down there,
don't forget that we're together, soon we'll come up for air.

Snowden
snow is falling,
gently and without sound.
all is peaceful,
i cannot see the ground.
i turn my head
but no one is around.
there i lay down
the snow creates a mound.
the cold takes me,
i fall into a trance.
i cannot think,
darkness fills the expanse.
life seems empty,
never gave it a chance.
i lay entombed,
unable to advance.
the sun appears
its light warming my face
the thaw is slow
but love is not a race
i stand again
i'm free to leave this place
i feel alive
no longer a disgrace.

Lizzie Didn’t Do It
12 angry men figured it out, 90 minutes not a reasonable doubt
before things get carried away, let the girl have her say. she didn’t do it, no no she didn’t do it.
Set free by the jury, found guilty by the free
Lizzie left all her money, to the animal league,
it sells papers, no no she didn’t do it.
Chorus: Lizzie didn’t do it, they couldn’t get the girl to confess. you know she didn’t do it, an axe leaves a terrible mess. Lizzie didn’t do it, cause they never even found her dress.
It’s happened before, it’s happening again
after her day in court, the real trial began
she didn’t do it, no no she didn’t do it.
Fall River’s always had a way, of pulling you in
Blood, regrets and rumors, the papers say
she didn’t do it, no no she didn’t do it.
Repeat Chorus.

Beautiful
I know it feels like you’ve been Snowden
Locked away, stuck inside, overlooked again
You’ll find a way, maybe someday
Wake up, crawl out of the dust
Don’t let this moment slip away.
I bet you think that you have lost the race
It’s been too long since you’ve been face to face
I’ll give you a reason, you should stay
Pick up the phone, don't delay
Don’t let this moment slip away
CHORUS: I’ve seen the pictures on your wall
So much love there, you’re standing tall
When you see it, you’ll have no doubt
She’s beautiful, inside and out
Forget the view from across the street
Ignore the hate, get out of the rat race
There’s life outside the wall
And inside too, A universe Inside, sitting next to you.
Don’t let this moment slip away.
Do you remember how you used to hate?
Always showed up to the party late?
Never knowing, how to truly see
All the things you have, listen to me
Don’t let this moment slip away.
Repeat Chorus.

Radium Girls
My Sputnik girlfriend, orbits the earth
A space-age sweetheart, for all it’s worth
A picture of Grace, lost in a stack
Someone’s erased her, we’ll never get her
All the coffee in the world, won’t make you wake up and see, that glowing watch-dial in the dark, and what you meant to me.
Chorus: But it was never meant to be
This useless technology, Light-up lips
A glowing face, Radium Girl
Somewhere in space.
Didn’t want to be the one, to never cast a vote
end of a lifetime, A cautionary note.
The only job in Ottawa, has caused a lot of pain
Can’t even raise your head up
Or take a walk in the rain.
Repeat chorus.

Last Call
One O’Clock at the bar and grill,
No more drinks and no more cheap thrills,
Grab your coat and head for the door,
You’re going home,
Last Call x3
One more song to end up the night,
Find a girl to make this right,
She’s walking over but,
Your going home alone,
Last Call x3
Cruising the road at a quarter to two,
Tired as hell cuz I can’t find you,
The light is flashing and I hit the gas,
I’m going fast: DUI
Last Call x3
One O’Clock at the bar and grill,
No more drinks and no more cheap thrills,
Grab your coat and head for the door,
You’re going home,
Last Call x5
