AMANDA B
Amanda B she always wanted to see her shame in lights
Amanda B she never could divide up his double life, yeah
She had the kind of things that dirty boys would line up to see
All this testosterone only makes it hard for Amanda B
Abandoned by a bowery boy and a mother with a gypsy soul
No one could hold her and so they sold her for a song
Now she’s gone
You won’t forget her says the barker you can take it from me
And all this barking only makes it "ruff" for Amanda B
Standing in the side show shadow
Like a peach in a banana boat
No one to hold her
Shoulders are colder when you're wrong
Now she's on
And flattery is all she needs to share the secret below
Hermaphrodite is the name that’s on the sign at the show
Here she goes....
(Big Band interlude...)
You could undress her with your mind but you would never quite see
(Oh no! Oh yeah!)
The subtle differences that make it hard for Amanda B
Sit back and let me tell you 'bout the birds and Amanda B

Sally's Ass

SALLY’S ASS
Here she comes again
She’s the talk of the town
All the heads are turning at this lunch of higher learning
But it’s all behind her now
She drinks her milk from a cardboard box
But she drinks it with a crazy straw
All this recreation only leads to masturbation
At the very thought of Sally’s ass
Here he comes as well
He’s the cock of the walk
She knows that he’s been talking she’s been talking him down
And everybody knows it’s just talk
And I think that it’s so bosso cool
The way she treats him like a fool
All this blind frustration and this constant aggravation
And the very thought of Sally’s ass
He’s as stubborn as a mule
Walks her both to and from school
But I helped her with her papers
Now I can take her away ...... From him
There I go again,
I’m the butt of the joke
The little man behind you if you stop short I will find you
And I really don’t mean to blow smoke
But I have loved you all year long
I broke a G-string when I wrote this song
All this inspiration only leads to isolation
And quiet thoughts of Sally’s ass
Hush….
I want to take her away
And if she’d of let me be her fool
I might have even finished school
All this education never led to graduation
Just a simple song of Sally’s ass
The very thought of Sally’s ass
The thought of Sally’s fuckin' ass
Fuckin’ a

This Way and That
02:54

THIS WAY AND THAT
Solar flare unaware piece of cake easy as
Tumbling mumbling this way and that way
Opening everything under the staircase
The same face saving the grace this way and that way
You are the sheep I'm just following
You are the food I'm just swallowing all you up
Terrified tongue tied abysmal a criminal
Fade away here to stay this way and that way
This way and that way
All of my nonsequietors connect in a way that I can’t explain to you
This.....weigh them all up wrap them in a box
Save them for later and dust them off
When you need a friend
This way or that way
Amplified terminated exhausted goodbye
I'm back again in the hole
That way and this way
Skeletons in the bed call the dog home throw me a bone
It used to be
This way and that way
The cost of this nonsense is earning nothing
But pennies on the eyes of the late great
Heroes of heart who always knew right from end
And every beginning was hanging by a thread
This way and that way
This way and that way
How does it feel again ?
Skin the cat fancy that
Everyone’s brainstorming
That way and this way
Don’t touch the dial after a while I’ll turn you off
Forget me or not it's
This way and that way
You are the sheep I'm just following
You are the food I'm just swallowing all you up...
Are you up?

Face of The Sun

FACE OF THE SUN
Twelve hours have come and gone
The night chased you into the west
The world and I wind down
Perchance to dream
Then you quietly rise in the east
Giving life to the skies as you shine through the trees
In the shade from the strength of you heat
And the children come out and they play and they run
And they smile in the face of the sun
Two thousand one years on
A shadow falls upon the west
The moon blocks out the sun
Or so it seems
Then you quietly rise in the east
Giving life to the skies as you shine through the trees
And the children come out and they play and they run
And smile in the face of the sun
Evening finds you way down the moon comes as you lay down again
Then you violently rise in the east
There’s a fire in the sky daisies cut through the trees
And the faithful are brought to their knees
And the children come out and they pray and they run
And fly in the face of the sun
Morning finds you on your way up
With blues skies and a gray dove
Hmmm..
Then you silently sink in the west
Putting us in the dark and our faith to the test
We long to believe we are blessed
And the children come out and they play and they run
And smile in the face of the sun
Smile in the face of the sun
In the face of the sun

Look Out Below

LOOK OUT BELOW
Look out below
The engines on fire and I’m feeling like I’ve lost control
Look out below
I’m falling from the heavens to a bed of demons crawling low
Look out below
I’m changing with the weather and the next thing I remember
I surrender to the undertow
Suddenly faith looks up to see me safely through the sorrow
Friends and loves reflecting pictures of tomorrow
Look out below
I tumble through the thunder
When she pulled the rug from under love
Look out below
I’m running out of power on a tower where a coward jumps
I’m changing with the weather and the next thing I remember
I surrender to the undertow
Suddenly faith looks up to see me safely through the sorrow
Friends and loves reflecting pictures of tomorrow
Look out below

I Wish You Well

I WISH YOU WELL
Feeling the calm on the water all of our friends have gone home
Sitting alone there's an old picture of me without out you
The message you sent like a stranger the weight of the words that I hold
There's no resisting the words that are twisting around you
Storm shades are raging it's all quite engaging and I wish you well
I wish you well
The sentence is scathing , I admire your phrasing and I wish you well
I wish you well
My former your latter it doesn’t really matter if I wish you well
I still wish you well
Everything’s shaded you faded me into your tears
I was old and jaded and you were young beyond your years
I wish you well
Storm shades are raging it's all quite engaging and I wish you well
I wish you well
Your sentences was scathing I admired your phrasing and I wish you well...I wish you well
Before it gets too quiet lets spearate the dirt from the fear
My laundry wasn’t dry yet and you were still wet behind the ears
I wish you well
Sentences scathing and I admire your phrasing and I wish you well
I wish you well
A memory for saving a handout for waving and I wish you well
Goodbye my belle I wish you well
And I wish you well
These are words that go together ....
There's no resisting the words that are twisting around you
These are words that go together
These are words that go together

UNDERLINED
Underlined
Not to put to bold a point on it
Every explanation point of mine
Underlined
Always makes you make so much of it
And I hate the way you love it
Dotting all the I’s
I....don’t know how to act your age
I must be on a different page
But you got me getting it
Your type setting it straight
Underlined
Not to but to bold a point on it
Every excalamation point is mine
Over time you mind your p’s and q’s
You can bobbin weave and hunt and peck and
Choose to emphasize
I know it’s close to closing time
I'm looking for an opening line
But you wrap me in parenthesis
If love comes in twos and threes I’m
Underlined
Everybody tows the line
All you need is right under nose
All you gotta do is read between
I’d love to stay but its time for me to go
Everybody knows that time is something you can italicize
Undermined
I don’t know how to act your age
I must be on a different page
But you got me getting it you’re typesetting it straight
Everybody tows the line
I'd really love to stay
All you gotta do is read between
But maybe it's time to go away
Everybody knows in time
But life goes on as long as I'm
Underlined

World That She Wanted

WORLD THAT SHE WANTED
World that she wanted
All fair games
Eternal flames burn in the
World that she wanted
Closing my eyes looking for a place where
Gods live to help souls on their way
Her picture perfect gaze
Made me believe in the
World that she wanted
Thoughts run high
Living the temple of the
World that she wanted
A spiritual rise flying for a place where
Peace comes to time
Release the dove
And everything is love
Like the eastern winds that brought her
Love like the sweetest holy water
I am the son the ghost the father
Caught in the....
World that she wanted
Gods live to help souls on their way
Her picture perfect daze
Made me believe

Boxing Shadows

BOXING SHADOWS
It doesn’t seem that long ago she had you up against the ropes
Your heartbeat matching hers pound for pound
But she dropped you in the second round
And you can’t seem to get back up and after all this
Time is the healer but it's not time yet
She’s on the sidewalk like a shillouette
And every time the sun come out a bell rings in your head
Boxing shadows of her
Take your best swing get back in the corner now you're
Boxing shadows of her
You’ll forget her yet you can’t forgive her
Cause you’re boxing shadows of her
Memories rushing out
Boxing shadows of doubt
Kick you when you’re down
Boxing shadows about
Boxing shadows now
Boxing of shadow of her
Oh yeah, oh no, yeah
A sucker punch but you were in the right
All you wanted was a good clean fight
She bobs and weaves and lies and pulls your hair
The awful truth is that she isn’t there
And it’s so easy to forget
To forgive divine intervention
But she’s not done yet
She’s on the sidewalk like a cigarette
And every she puts you out a bell rings in your head
Boxing shadows of her
Take your best swing get back in the corner, now you’re
Boxing shadows of her
You’ll forget her yet you can’t forgive her
Cause you’re boxing shadows of her
Memories rushing out
Boxing shadows of doubt
Kick you when you’re down
Boxing shadows about
Boxing shadows now
Boxing of shadow of her

Jack Is Out of His Cage

JACK IS OUT OF HIS CAGE
The walls made of wire the floor is made of sand
I'll I got’s a seed of thought but Jack has got a plan
He'll pretend I'm him and I’ll pretend he’s me
He'll do anything I can to help to set him free
When the latch is lifted I’ll take to the sky
Yeah the latch is lifted time for me to fly
Jack is out of his cage
Ever since they closed the door and threw him in this hole
It’s the constant institutionalization of his soul
Richard Branson understands the reason for his plight
Charlie Manson gives him absolution for his flight
When the latch is lifted I’ll blow this stupid swing
Yeah the latch is lifted there’s nothing left for me to sing
Jack is out of his cage
Yeah he's out of his cage
He says nothing ventured nothing gained, he's out of his cage
Now he's free for a change, now he's flown out of range
Maybe he’s too high
The gravity of lows
He dreamed he killed two birds
Counting Sheryl’s black crows
And if by some flight of fancy he should make it back to Sean
He’d probably say this Cliff hanger is up and come and gone
Hey the latch was lifted am I Icarus or a stone
Yeah the latch is lifted either way I'm home
Jack is out of his cage
Yeah he's out of his cage
He says nothing ventured nothing gained, he's out of his cage
Jack is out of his cage; Jack is out of his cage

Two Words

TWO WORDS
Collin threw Neil Young away and married a girl of God
Now he's a holy man, yeah he's a holy man
Never was religious so his friends though it was strange
But they were all there just the same
And it all came down to two words
Sara Jane and Mark had to chalk it up to experience
He wasn’t strong enough she wasn’t young enough
All the things they tried to do to turn one into two
They sailed away into different blue
And it all come down to two words
It all came down to two words
And then the first thing I thought
It was the first thing I thought
Love was here in my life
And then the next thing I thought it was last thing I thought
Rising like a phoenix from the fire
Heather packed her dreams and changed her name to Isatu
Got married in Africa She's back from Africa
The rhythm of commitment pouring out of every pore
Ill give you mine if you give me yours
And it all comes down to two words
If all comes down to two words
Then it all comes down to.......
And then the third thing I thought
It was the last thing I thought
Love was back in my life
And then the last ring I bought was my lack of forethought
Someone tried to
Take my wife,...Please

NICE ENOUGH GUY
H seemed like a nice enough guy
How was she to know that he would make her want to cry?
And was he a foe or a friend?
He said he'd stay forever and fever never ends
But how could she know that it’s all just a lie?
He seemed like a nice enough guy
She seemed like a nice enough girl
Someone he could dive into an oyster for his pearl
But was she a friend or a foe?
Well he doesn’t know which is which
But she's his life and life’s a bitch
And I wonder why she walked out on his world
She seemed like a nice enough girl
anice enough girl
Nice enough to say she wants to wear my ring
Life is tough and I’ve begun to see my way through everything
How could she know that it’s all just a lie?
He seemed like a nice enough guy
Nice enough to say she wants to wear my ring
Life is tough and I've begun to see my way through everything
And seems like a nice enough place
So why is there still so much desperation on my face
And why can’t we all just be friends?
You don’t get the punch line yet
You’ll get it in the end
So try to be kind to your baby tonight
You seem like nice enough guys, nice enough guys
You seem like nice enough guys, nice enough guys

GET AROUND GIRL
Resting uncomfortably on the floor in her mind she’s chasing a squirrel
They’ve been in your life forever I’ll help you get around girl
Unfamiliar sound at the door, is the parameter secure?
You’ve protected me forever I’ll help you get around girl
Get around girl
I’ll help you get around
Get around girl
I’ll keep you safe you sound
I will hold you up this time
Protecting what’s yours and mine
Far from the cage at the Westside pound
I was lost the day you were found
You’ve been in my life forever I’ll help you get around
Get around girl
When you have fallen down
Get around girl
I’ll get you off the ground
I will hold you up this time
If there were two where there were four
Each time I turn you I'll love you more
And I f there were wheels where there were legs
It would make much more sense when you beg
Resting comfortably by the door, welcome back to our little world
Wouldn’t be home without you, we’ve got you "get around girl"
Get around girl
I’ll put your water down
Get around girl
Until you come around
Protecting what is yours and mine
I will hold you up this time
No matter whatever I’ll never put you down
Get around girl

Supervision

SUPERVISION
I don't trust myself when I'm with you
Cause you wear the kind of clothes I see through
And you know I've got my eyes on you
But to see you I need supervision
I’ve been running from a dream of you
You’ve been hiding in your secret dark room
And you know I’ve got my eyes on you
But to see you I need supervision same old symptom
Till I’m over you ill need supervision yeah
All this time I though I was immune
But I still figure in your faded cartoon
There’s a part of you that sees me though
But to see you I need supervision same old symptom
Till I’m over you ill need supervision
And its true we both moved on
The love we had is gone on and on and on and on
Till I’m over you ill need supervision
And its true we both moved on the love we had is gone on and on and on and on
I was blinded by the likes of you
The closest distance between two points of view
And I know that I’ve been tried it's true
When I see you I'll have supervision

THIS DAY
This day, this day, this day is like no other
This day, on this day, this day I've found another love
And I have seen so many lonely days
But this day, this day
This day the clouds won't bother
On this day this day
I'm rising like the sun
True colors run from shades of blue and gray
On this day, this day
Some days are filled with sorrow some days are filled with pain
This day was good enough to let me love again
I found another love and there’s so many good things I could say
On this day, this day
Some days are filled with sadness some days are filled with pain
This day was good enough to let me love again
Some day, not this day, but one day well make a promise
That way they won't say that this day was just another song
And now I know just why my heart was saved for this day
For this day.

CURTAIN CALL
All talk and no action you play your part from the very back row
The lights go down while I wait in the wings so come on let’s get on with the show
Say your lines with conviction
You take your take your bow and you exit stage right
The morning papers say we're talk of the town but the roses have died over night
No room for the little mistakes that make us miss our ques
It’s only the roar of the crowd that keeps me from blissfully missing you
Carry the weight of us all around you
Carry the weight of us all trying to break the fourth wall around you
Stumble out here and we fall curtain call curtain call
All talk no action
You make the scene not so long seem so slow
So try and act like you've made up your mind 'cause it's time to get back to the show
No room for the little mistakes that make us miss our ques
It’s only the roar of the crowd that keeps me from blissfully missing you
Carry the weight of us all around you
Carry the weight of us all trying to break the fourth wall around you
Little by little we fall
Carry the weight of us all around you
Carry the weight of us all trying to break the fourth wall around you
Stumble hat trick and we fall
Curtain call curtain call
