BIG HEAD BLUES
Excuse me, but there's something
that commands my attention
It's clear to see there's a fire
with my name I must put out
There's no need for gratitudes or praise,
it was my pleasure
You must believe, it's coincidence
my fingerprints are on the match
a part time hero with full time lie
my only job is keeping wool over eyes
an endless smile is my one disguise
so if you're losing in the game -
Say my name I got your back - I'll come running
Say my name I got your back - I'll be right there
say my name
Pardon me, but I hear there's
something ticking right behind you
If you can please, step aside
and let a pro do his thing
I'll pretend to forget which wire to pull
from the connection
In the end you'll see,
I'll diffuse much more than the device
An off white knight in armor that's lost it's sheen
Won't play dirty, can't play clean
Can't reach that high stuck somewhere in between
Let me star in your scene
Say my name I got your back - I'll come running
Say my name I got your back - I'll be right there
say my name

You're No Good For Me

YOU’RE NO GOOD FOR ME
I’ve lost all favor and contact
with my former useful self
and that kind of noise might not be progress
but I’m moving forward despite my health
now there you are five LP’s stacked
groove after groove, hits front to back
you beg with me to put you on
and I bust your tracks and sing your songs
And all I want to do is play you on repeat
but the suckers on the side keep saying you’re no good for me
you’re no good for me - you’re no good for me
you came to me with a warning sign
only use for a night or two
but when I’m drunk I don’t like to read
and I don’t like being told just what to do
I don’t care much for deadlines or expiration dates
I go by feel and taste
‘Cause there’s good in bad and bad in good
and I ain’t gonna let it go to waste
but if I go by what my friends say
or if I listen to my family
I woulda quit you three hangovers ago
cause you’re no good for me
You're No Good For Me...
I don’t mind being alone
I just prefer to drink with someone
than to stare at my phone
I know this here ain’t perfect
if they keep pulling’ on the slack
but there’s no turning back
You’re no good for me
And I’ve tried to tell you I don’t care that
You’re no good for me
You’re no good for me...

The Burden

THE BURDEN
There’s a village on fire burning since dawn
and a foul and familiar wind comin’ in strong
no kind of rain can wash this away
hold on to your axe. dig your own grave
And when I’m gone I’ll be so far gone
you will remember what you did wrong
And when I’m gone I’ll be so far gone
you will remember what you did wrong
Say hello to the flood, hold on tight for the ride
keep your head above the water
when you roll with this tide
leave your dreams in the mud, and bury them deep
you better pray for absolution - you better pray for sleep
And when I’m gone I’ll be so far gone
you will remember what you did wrong
And when I’m gone I’ll be so far gone
you will remember what you did wrong
Serenade the lies you swear into the sky
and believe this song untrue
you can try and close your eyes
what led us here can’t be undone
angels were led astray
queens and paladins turned away
the only promise keeping me black and blue
if a bloodless heart’s in a soul that’s stirs
and it needs shelter from it's own bones caving in
send them to me I’ll ease their burden
send them to me I’ll show 'em home
And when I’m gone I’ll be so far gone
you will remember what you did wrong
And when I’m gone I’ll be so far gone
you will remember what you did wrong
you will remember what you did wrong
you will remember what you did wrong

East Side Fadeaway

EAST SIDE FADEAWAY
I danced real close to pretty liars
knowing well they were wrong
and I’ve chased one too many fires
that had no right to burn for so long
Never holding back, it made no difference
if I won or lost the game
When you survive a blaze of glory all you get in the end
is an east side fadeaway
I’ve broken bread with kings, queens,
and servants all the same
I’ve kissed fame a hundred times over
but no one ever remembers my name
Mistakes I’ve made have led to wars
and I never even got the blame
Because the sun sets strong in the west
the rest’s just an east side fadeaway
Can’t change the cards that your dealt
just the way that you play
Even if the results always end up the same
go all in when it feels right
and when it’s not you hold
do it all for the rush never do it for gold
I broke your heart two times or maybe three,
because I thought you would stay
I convinced myself I was stone
when I knew deep inside was just clay
I’m a fool to think
that things would ever, ever go my way
because even when we shared the spotlight
all I got was the shade of an east side fadeaway

'Til The Wheels Fall Off

TILL THE WHEELS FALL OFF
I’ve lost my conscious I’ve lost my nerve
I need something, something I might not deserve
All I had has been taken away
What I have left I’m gonna give you, give you today
I’m gonna love you til the wheels fall off
I’m gonna love you, love you til the wheels fall
I don’t need whiskey - don’t need cocaine
i need a temporary cure for pain
I don’t need compassion - I don’t need control
I just need the dust off of my soul
I’m gonna love you til the wheels fall off
I’m gonna love you, love you til the wheels fall
I’m gonna love you til the wheels fall off
I’m gonna love you, love you til the wheels fall

Through The Night

THROUGH THE NIGHT
Standing in the hallway with pocket hands
My heart’s ajar with freeway plans
And I’m wondering, wondering where I stand
I know I probably went to far
Cause I’m always getting my signals crossed
And I’m fumbling stumbling over the line
Lightning has a funny way of showing your fate
It puts you in your place
Timing is everything
a little bit behind the beat
is the only way to get that swing
When it feels so right
That’s when you know you can take it
Through the Night Through the Night
Sitting at the hotel bar
With Delia and the local jesters
And you’re dancing and glancing my way
But I’ve lost all my intentions and charm
To a blonde assassin who did me harm
And I’m praying and hoping for certainties
But when you hear the thunder you know it’s too late
When you hear the thunder
Timing is everything
a little bit behind the beat
is the only way to get that swing
When it feels so right
That’s when you know you can take it
Through the Night Through the Night
One more cigarette outside
Might be the last one in my life
And I hear you askin’ for a light
Funny thing about chance when you surrender
The wings appear when you fall

IT NEVER SNOWS IN CALIFORNIA
Why am I. Still a stranger
In the place that I call home.
Looks like my mind done played a trick
When come December I feel no cold
Many years. Lived with this
Below my knees and under my soul
The clocks unwinding but the sun keeps shining
and I can't tell if I'm getting old
It Never Snows In California
As a matter a fact it barely rains (some days, some days)
It Never Snows in California
Holidays ain’t the same
In the heart of this city ain't no love
til they get what you want
Nobody gives a damn It ain't how you play
it's how you flaunt so shake it, shake it
Ain't no use coming up when you can't even tell the time
Another day same old ways Remake reboot recycle resign
REPEAT CHORUS (2X)
Why am I. Still a stranger
In the place that I call home.
Why am I still a stranger
All Alone
REPEAT CHORUS (2X)

IN THE LIGHTS
There nothing left to really talk about, or linger on
I just don’t feel it anymore
and everybody’s got their thoughts about it
Everybody seems to have a cure
There’s nothing really wrong I just no longer belong
And there’s nothing you can do about it
Like you said thy will be done
I see Satan in the lights I see Jesus in the rain
I see Buddha on the ropes I see Allah up in chains
Don’t you fear the fire inside
before you know it turns to stone
Spare your mercy spare your pride
In the end we’re all alone
There’s nothing really left to put in place, reinstate
There is destiny and there’s fate
The only thing we can do about it
Is lie bout having all control
So, please don’t pontificate
Save your words it’s much too late
Make your change before god’s camera grabs it
Can’t re-write when credits roll
I see Satan in the lights I see Jesus in the rain
I see Buddha on the ropes I see Allah up in chains
Don’t you fear the fire inside
before you know it turns to stone
Spare your mercy spare your pride
In the end we’re all alone
There’s a heart, there’s a heart, there’s a heart that’s beating
There’s a soul, there’s a soul, there’s a soul still breathing
And there’s mine, and it’s mine, and mine is broken
because I’m done, yes I’m done, I am done with the bleeding
Save yourself you sure can’t save me
There’s no meaning for me now Go out there and find your own...
I see Satan in the lights I see Jesus in the rain
I see Buddha on the ropes I see Allah up in chains
Don’t you fear the fire inside
before you know it turns to stone
Spare your mercy spare your pride
In the end we’re all alone

Find Somebody

FIND SOMEBODY
In the dusk of silence, in the empty space you leave behind
is memory of a daydream - the breath before the sigh
I’m reaching out for something there,
something I can’t see even though I know it well enough,
Do I know it better than myself
it will fill you and it make you high
it will knock you out and it make you cry
the tears are temporary but the tracks are there for good
it’s still a small price to pay for knowing deep inside
there is no other way so I say
Everybody, get somebody, someone to love, Someone to love
The world keeps turning’ but you can’t leave your seat
cause you’re in a haze from all the day to day, the lather, rinse, repeat
How can a soul so restless find no air to breath
How can a heart so hungry lose each and every one of it’s teeth
gotta find a reason to go outside
outside of this place and outside of your mind
the sky might soon be falling but it’ll rise back up again
the ocean’s always cold the ocean’s always deep
no point in knowin’ how to swim unless we jump in c’mon now
Everybody, get somebody, someone to love, Someone to love (2X)
The rain’s come down now for 17 days and nights
the clouds have taken over the sun has lost it’s way
We need to find the horizon we need to find relief
I need to light the fire inside of you will you light the one in me?
now lets all run fast ride into the night
if we close our eyes we can almost fly
get your wings from the pawn shop cause now we really need ‘em I
know it won’t be easy, we will stumble and fall
but if we stand together, well we’ll be alright
Everybody, get somebody, someone to love, Someone to love (4X) Someone to love, someone to love, find someone to love (4X)
