I wrote a book I couldn't read
I saw a bird I couldn't reach
I wrote a book I couldn't read
I saw a bird I could't reach
But I didn't care
I didn't stare
You make it all the way to the Mississippi Rain!
Jesus is calling his army
Oh great son of God is calling his clan
I can't deny the inner words of this
Bird that's flying over my head
But I still don't care
I still don't stare
You make it all the way to the Mississippi Rain
Brandy I've been thinking what you said
I'm just a man waiting to be fed
You can't deny my face for a
Goddam disgrace!

Reasoning With a Troll

John said ya wanted to know
How to form the letter
I don't know what to tell ya sonny
Guess we'll go straight to the show
Leo's playing the big one tonight
Says he's saying goodbye
Doesn't Know what time
He's ending..tonight
Next is the harvest season
Careful not to burn your tongue
I'm not commanding, I'm just recommending
Ohh walking underground
Sure we're a long way off
Johnny's stride is falling down
Doesn't know what time
He's startin..tonight
I took my time
I've reasoned wisely with the troll

Losing My True Love
02:10
|

|
It was a light inside my head, my head
Inside my head I saw that she was wronged
And she was lost inside my bed, my bed
And down the hall I gave a sigh that it was off
But she didn't die
It made her strong
Then she was gone
You make a mess before you start a fight
And now that fight is gone and we're left up to test
All that's lost
She makes a throne on laps of other guys
Oh Oh
Oh Oh
And can you help me? Can you spare a thought?
Did I do that well for loosing my true love?

Alone I fall
Watching them all
Asking for pieces to
Take away the
Pain out to see
Having some tea
But if people so lonely want nothing more
Than to see me struggling on the floor
Love the smiles
What is it for?
Period of rest
Becomes the best part
Love oh so far
More I get up
But if people so hungry want nothing more
Than to see me struggling on the floor
But if people so lonely want nothing more
Than to see me struggling on the floor

For Love

To start to answer
What all your love has done for me
It pulls my thoughtless head
Back into its symmetry
Just take another step
Out into a walk back home
And then you'll see me rest
Eyes shut closed but body warm
Do do do do
Do do do do
For love you get your pick
Twinkled glance a beautiful sight
I'm hiking up brand new steps
I need ya babe if that's alright
Do do do do
Do do do do
It's true
Do do do do

He Comes and Goes, Dear

Driving by with my mouthpiece on my side
It is cold and rainy dear, don't let me see those tears
I know ya need a distraction from him
He doesn't really want to see you smile
Running high said ya don't know where to go
Mouth is running dry with angle eyes out in the snow
And you can't realize what you're doing here
Another one for mere satisfaction never lives a day ahead
But don't you think about the doorway
Focus on your steps in the hallway
Don't you think about the doorway
Focus on your steps
So you move away forget your name, have a good time
Live it off make all the days worth staying
Not a text from me nor anyone who helped ya shape that path
Just a humble life of believing someone else can take those tracks
Smell the good stuff
Smell the good stuff
(mmm)
Smell the good stuff
Don't you think about the doorway
Focus on your steps in the hallway
Don't you think about the doorway
Focus on your steps
