LEAVING THINGS BEHIND

I'm leaving things
Behi-nd
Mama I've got wings
And a hard, hard climb

Living with kindness and dignity
Walk on and carry my load.
There's things back there I been haulin' for years;
Gonna leave 'em on the side of the road

Living with anger and shame
Helpless as a kitten in the rain
Stand up straight, carry your own weight;
Be a natural man again.

Living with suspicion and lies
Sometimes it's hard to be clear.
Drop the attack, and bring it back,
But don't you shed a tear

STEP CLOSER

Step it up, step around;
Step down and you have found
Something more you adore,
Something overlooked before
Step closer, step closer, yeah

Walk together step aside
Stand apart and then decide
If you will, if you won't
If you don't know
Step closer, step closer, yeah

Step closer now, closer still,
Heaven knows what will follow
It's cold outside and warm below;
Life has changed again and I will follow
Step closer, step closer, yeah

HIPSTER BLUE

Art plow, fashionista
Finger on her lips and another on her keystah
Stay sharp, somebody sees ya
Everybody lookin' but nobody believes ya.
Don't you make a mistake
And get between a tiger and a snake
Before you leave at the end of the night,
Everything gonna be alright

Pout snout, medical drop-out,
Read about it, read about it now.
Rare bird on a fallow mountain,
Scared nerd by the drinking fountain.
So you've found some taste
And your bets are placed.
Before you leave at the end of the night
Everything gonna be alright

SAFE WITH ME

Yeah, you're safe with me
Nobody gonna let you down
Through the sirens and the sounds
Yeah you're safe with me

Yeah you're safe with me,
Gonna keep you from harm
Hold you in loving arms
Yeah you're safe with me

Yeah you're safe with me
If the future looks blown
And the past is overgrown
Yeah you're safe with me, love
Yeah you're safe with me, love

If I can't be with you everyday,
Don't you worry your life away,
'Cause you know that I tried...

Yeah you're safe with me
Nobody gonna let you down
Through the sirens and the sounds
Yeah you're safe with me, love

WAITING

I'm waiting like a fool
I'm rusted like a tool
Shoulda seen the way she took me
Shoulda seen the way she shook me, now
Shoulda seen the way she loved me
Right before she dropped me on the ground
And I'm waiting like a fool.

I believe I'm a man
As I breathe, I know I am
Shoulda seen the way she took me
Shoulda seen the way she shook me
Shoulda seen the way she loved me
Right before she dropped me on the ground
And I'm waiting like a fool

DEVIL'S IN THE DETAILS

Come out from the forest, come out from the trees--
I know you're out there hiding from the knocking on your knees.
I'm getting to the source, man, deep inside.
I'm diggin' a tunnel, gonna start a landslide
Did I see you flinch dear?
Did I see you bite your nails?
Truth is not so frightning
But the devil's in the details

Come out on the meadow, let's have a look.
You're a walking manifesto I can read you like a book.
Yeah you got your causes and I got mine.
I see your finger's pointed but I'm not buyin.'
Did I see you flinch dear?
Did I see you bite your nails?
Truth is not so frightning
But the devil's in the details.

PARIAH

Busco amigos...pariah
Busco vecinos...pariah
Oh, I am seeking what I had
Oh, don't you understand
Alien pariah
Alien pariah

GO DOWN

I'll take you over to my house
You'll see the inside of my mouth;
It's dark and alive
Transcends space and time--
Grab a beer and a lime and stay a while

Poets, villains, and kings;
Married people with rings;
I want to hear 'em shout it loud
I want to see 'em all go down

So you say it's been rough
In the cuisinart of love, love
It's free but it's not cheap
To find someone to keep--
Might as well keep 'em satisfied

UP ALL NIGHT

Girl you look your best
When your hair's a mess
And your eyes are wild
Before the sun returns
With its pale concerns
On a moonlight ride.

We'll leave that other scene behind--
That heavy metal suicide.
Why don't we stay up all night

We'll jump the velvet rope,
Give the bouncer hope
Of another life.
We live on the brink
Closer than you think
To another life.

SUVIVORS

Supemoncho is a good friend, a friend of mine
If I din't know better, I'd say he looks fine.
Oh, trouble got him down
Oh, down to the ground.
Supermoncho fights the good fight, he's not afraid
Supermoncho is victorious if not unscathed.
Oh, time is on his side.
Oh, he's got to survive.

I hail you survivors, I follow your light.
I hail you survivors in my life.

Willamena lost her best friend, her lover, and her knight.
Now she's trying to remember how to keep things light.
Oh, when she tries to smile,
Oh, maybe not for a while.
Willamena fights a good fight, she's not afraid
Willamena is victorious if not unscathed.
Oh, time is on her side.
Oh, and she's got to survive.

I hail you survivors, I follow your light.
I hail you survivors in my life.
