Black Hole Universe

Only you be solitary
Only you be on and on
Black hole universe
Life is in reverse
No time to rehearse
On and on
Say we need a chance
Do a little dance
Money and romance
On and on
And though the world will grow
So great you'll never know
Will it let you go?
Fight to find your way
Look to seize the day
Think of what to say
On and on
Say your values changed
It's all rearranged
Nothing is the same
On and on
Feel your thinking slow
Machines humming low
Trust in what you know
On and on
No time to rehearse
Life is in reverse
Black hole universe
On and on

Edible Clouds

Fly far away
Edible clouds
Into the sun
Escape the crowds
You and I soar
Above the fray
Lost in the sky
Just for today
Sun in the sky
Such a vibrant hue
Nothing in the world’s
Gonna bother you... when you’re
High... So High
Horizon looms
Toeing the line
Where earth and space
Intertwine
Sun in the sky
Such a vibrant hue
Edible delicious clouds
Higher than a 747
I wish you were around
Cause then I'd be in heaven
Star Blooms & Cirrus & Cumulonimbus
Set the controls for the sun
and you can come with us

Holiday

Take your time, feel the slow
Leave behind what you know
Springtime buds fall in the breeze
You know it's all the same
Universe has no name
Now you're lying next to me
Keep our thoughts from creepin' in
Holiday, holiday, my love
Brush of wind across your face
Widened eyes look to space
Counting stars as you please
You know it's all the same
Universe has no name
Now you're lying next to me
Keep our thoughts from creepin' in
Holiday, holiday, my love
Let the stars all fall to pieces
Supernovas shine
Every moment lasts forever
Put your hand in mine
On our holiday, on this holiday
Forever and forever for all time

My first love was called Mary
Fair and crazy and lovely
Together we shared private moments
but the town shunned her
she left me to move to Canada
I made friends in the Midwest
Michigan and Kansas
Work came hard
but that San Francisco acid wave
came a lot harder
My short life is enough to light
The sky
We spent the summer on the plains
her parents moved to in the fall
Lost contact but I heard she went to Mexico
14 years old and on a bicycle
She’s not afraid
Finally the nightmares have ceased
thought my best days and my best friends
had passed me but now they come back
My short life is enough to light
The sky

End of Ordinary
04:59

Wolf cries out to a quarter moon
Plane in the sky is passing soon
In this end of ordinary
High in the sky the plane moves still
Cock pilot has had his fill of life
That seems so ordinary
Silver screen in the back of the seat
Push cart rattles, choose your meat
It all feels so ordinary
Hollywood hero fights for his life
Falling through the sky with his wife
Saying ah couldn’t we be ordinary
And the stars laugh
As they shoot by
Carefree in the night sky
Action hero starts to shout
Parachute fire no way out
This is the end of ordinary
Screens in first class crackle and spark
Champagne crashes plane goes dark
In this the end of ordinary
Pilot’s crazed he’s lost control
Plane descends in a barrel roll
In this the end of ordinary
Wolf bows its head to the crescent moon
Silence will reign on all things soon
In this the end of ordinary

I'm losing you
I'm losing truth and beauty and you
This feeling's, it's so new
but it feels good too
This drink's for Jones
A drink for me
I hope you make it home
Rolls Royce is moving you
It's moving me
It's moving right on through
Jones will say I've lost my mind
Panam Flight #559
Captain Frank please take em back around
I'm going for a lie down
Give me oxygen let me inhale
My eyes see white my ears have failed
Give me that parachute I'll be ok
As long as you keep away that naked flame
My parachute's on fire, my brain's alive
Cut through this lengthy wire
My parachute's on fire, my brain's alive
Cut through this safety wire
Panam Flight #559
I'm losing my mind
Losing my mind on Panam Flight #559

Check yourself into the transit lounge
Leave your coat at the door
cause it's warm inside
Have a rest, have a drink
your safe by our side
Maybe meet someone
into whom your soul can collide
A read a smoke a joke
for the busy life is a real antidote
We all need the transit lounge
We all need the transit lounge

Puddles on the Runway
04:06

Cover ups and tearful eyes
Fade away to cloudy skies
Portal windows streaked with rain
Muddled thoughts all in my brain
(Am I gonna) Come back
Tires splash through lonely mist
Thinking of everything I wished
Would come true
With you
Puddles on the Runway
When we take flight
On my mind what we did last night
Maybe someday I'll head back home
Till that day I'm on my own
Glimmering bright in the shattered light
Where will I rest my head tonight
On a velvet pillow or a bed of stone
All my dreams or all alone
Blue sky
Or Rain
Puddles on the Runway
When we take flight
On my mind what we did last night
Maybe someday I'll head back home
Till that day I'm on my own

Fly Away

When the nights are turning cold
And autumn starts to sigh
You and I will spread our wings
Find winds and start to fly
We’ll fly away
We’ll find our place
When the zombie world will breathe
It’s cold and faithful sigh
You and I will spread our wings
Find winds and start to fly
We’ll fly away
We’ll find our place
I will not break with stars above
And I’ll sing it strong the calling of our love
Zombie winds all let them all unfold
Hold you close to my very soul
And we’ll fly away
Flying home
In the coming days ahead
When darkness goes on high
You and I will spread our wings
Find winds and start to fly
We’ll fly away
We’ll find our place
