Times so late it’s getting early
I dreamt I was kissing David Bowie
And you walked in- you didn’t seem to mind
You said don’t wake up and you opened the blinds
A giant gold circle at the center of your eyes
I’m rising into the sun
And your coruscating beauty ripped my face off and I liked it
Heaven below and hell up above
You talk so sweet and you act so tough
Yeah you do- it drives me crazy
So you step on the gas and you run the light
You’re running around my head at night
It’s voodoo- I’m under your spell
And this dress I’m wearing ain’t for staring at yourself
You glide through life like you’re riding a bike
I never met a drug I didn’t like
Your acid is on the tip of my tongue
And the sun went supernova in my heart
It all went back to the start it’s all vibrations
And I cried my eyes out for you
It’s all I want to do- it’s OK it’s just emotions
And when the flowers explode behind my eyes I will remember you.

Snow Day

I grew a beard by mistake
You liked so it stayed
I had a beer in the shower- la la la
It’s a snow day- put down the phone day
Only you can send me to the moon
I fell asleep in your arms
I wake up in your eyes
I fall in love again- la la la la
You light a fire in me
When I see you smile
It’s safe and warm by the fire- la la la

You Were Never Mine
03:46

If I had a dime for all the wasted time
I spent thinking about you girl
I could buy an aeroplane
And I would write your name
In great big letters across the sky
I remember when you and I were friends
And my life revolved around your smile
You’re still looking fine
And I’m best friends with a bottle of wine
You were never really mine
You were never mine
I never bought you a valentine
But ah the fun we used to have
Drinking in the summer sun
You kept my blues on the run
But you were never really mine
Sometimes I still miss you
I never even tried to kiss you
(Maybe once maybe twice)
Lying on your kitchen floor
I wish I’d had a little more
But you were never really mine
Did I make you up?
It sure did break me up when
We had to say goodbye
You’ve got your own life
And daytime slowly turns to night
You were never really mine

And In The End

And in the end that’s how it went
A night at the river if the river was sound
I could feel it all around
Waking up and on again
On and on it all again
Moving through me to the beginning
If you could see what I’m seeing
Go slow down- here comes the ground
Your incandescence is so black
I took it to the cleaners and it’s never coming back
Your skin is amazing- everything’s gone pink again
I hit the brakes the squirrel ran away
Your balance beam shoulder blades
You’ll turn off the lights soon enough
But the light keeps coming that’s what it does
The light keeps coming that’s what it does
And in the end that’s how it went.

Songs are like a puzzle
You know that you’re in trouble
When you know what’s going on
Another murder mystery every time she kisses me
What was the name of that song
And must I remember the words?
Tripping on the truth
Like you’re chipping a tooth
Bite an apple made of stone
Smoking my brains out every time it rains out
What was the name of that song
And must I remember the words?
The bridge said to the chorus
You know he can’t ignore us
We’ve got a measure going on
The sky is all orange
I feel Ike like I’m at Stonehenge
What was the name of that song
And must I remember the words?

IF YOU FEEL A LITTLE LONELY AND LIKE TO WALK
GO ADOPT A DOG
AND IF YOU’RE HAPPY WITH WHERE YOU’RE AT
GO ADOPT A CAT
IT’S THE BEST FRIEND YOU’LL EVER HAVE

Mystery Sister

Look what you did you silly kid
You brought another stray home- how do you feed them all?
So we reread the text he sent I think he wants to go to bed
Can you imagine that?
It must be crazy being pretty all the shit that people say
How do you tune it out?
All around are girls and boys and they’re all making too much noise
You want to whisper but you’re gonna have to raise your voice
I can’t be wrong your hair is long
We even like the same song
I think it’s genius
You think I’m cool I think I’m cool
Am I becoming cynical
It’s getting tedious
All he wants is all your time
And what he needs is undefined
This guy isn’t fit to shine your shoes
Mystery Sister

My Chemical Romance
03:03

Gin & tonic coffee & cream
Whenever I want you all I do is dream
My chemical romance
Sing your song for me
You get too close I start to panic
I’m not just depressed I’m also manic
My chemical romance
Sing me your melody
Can’t sleep with you
Can’t sleep without you
Every day I thank god I found you
My chemical romance
Sing your song for me
You think I’m crazy
You think I’m gay
I think it’s just a little MDMA
My chemical romance
Save the last dance for me

2 Pink Squirrels
03:26

2 pink squirrels at the Top of the Mark
They turn in the lights when the city gets dark
And when the city gets dark and the people come out
2 pink squirrels ride the elevator down
And when the elevator opens at Market and Powell
2 pink squirrels ride the underground
and when the train doors open and the city is bright
2 pink squirrels are staying out all night
Have you ever seen such a sight?
When the city is dark and the people are asleep
2 pink squirrels are up in a tree
And when the city wakes up and gets in the car
2 pink squirrels are heading for the bar
And when the bar man says ‘you’re limits been reached’
2 pink squirrels take a bottle to the beach
And when the city gets dark and it all starts again
2 pink squirrels are going to bed
Have you ever gone to bed?

Magic Carpet Ryders Nevada City, California
Magic Carpet Ryders sail on a droning zephyr of jingle jangle pop music. Hailing from the musical Mecca that is Nevada City, this turbaned trio plays folk rock that is neither folk nor rock. The words are obtuse but familiar and everything gets a dose of reverb: bass, drums, vocals, all 12 guitar strings- we’ll even throw in an autoharp free of charge. ... more
