JUST DON’T KNOW
I used to be sure, I used to be so sure
Now I just don’t know
I used to be certain, I used to be so sure
Now I just don’t know
I used to believe in heaven above
I used to believe in one true love
I used to believe
Now I just don’t know
I used to be sure, I used to be so sure
Now I just don’t know
I can’t face death’s gaping maw
I can’t face my mother-in-law
I can’t face it
I just don’t know
I used to be sure, I used to be so sure
Now I just don’t know
I used to be certain, I used to be so sure
Now I just don’t know

Turon

It fits me to a ‘T’
The road I know in front of me
When what do I upon?
The road to Turon
Turon to me’s a mystery
Scene of site yet unseen
And as I’m movin’ on
Do I take the road to Turon?
Standing blind under the sun
Do I go, do I follow everyone?
Sing this song where I belong
Will it be on the road to Turon?
Turon it calls with siren’s voice
Being free will, will I make that choice?
To the mast please lash my past
In the flame
I’ve melted all the wax
I came into Turon in a dream
In the dream it seems the scene wasn’t what it seems
As I wander where I roam
I’ll never see Turon, I’m going home
Standing blind under the sun
Do I go, do I follow everyone?
Sing this song where I belong
Will it be on the road to Turon?

It Could Have Been You
04:04

What if I stood here and Spoke the truth about it, A
vision of you layin’ ‘neath that apple tree
Just like I saw you, ten thousand years ago,
You got something in your head, and you had to go
It could have been you… I know you feel it
It could have been you… I know you see it
It could have been you… I know all about it
It could have been you… Aah Aah
Last time I saw you, you were walking
Down that dusty desert way, Now the
blue bird in that willow tree, keeps on reminding me, of that
Damnedest, twist of fate… …my darling
It could have been you… I know I feel it
It could have been you… I know I see it
It could have been you… I know about it
It could have been you… Aah Aah
Slow down baby, in the garden tonight
Serious moonlight, You can get on top
Gathering storm clouds, terrible thunder
Serpent whispers, tearing us asunder
It could have been you…
It could have been you… I know you feel it
It could have been you… I know you see it
It could have been you… I know all about it
It could have been you… Gonna speak about it
It could have been you… I know you feel it
It could have been you… I know you see it
It could have been you… I know all about it
It could have been you… Aah Aah

Down From The Mountain
03:49
|
|||
|
Pumping gas at her Daddy’s garage
In a red bikini, looking like a mirage
Sneaking out down to Silver Lake
Laughing with Roberta, she felt her soul at stake
She came down from the mountain
Blue Catskill sky above
She came down from the mountain
She came down from the mountain looking for love
Getting dressed in the dawn’s first blush
Waiting tables at Sol’s for the breakfast rush
Coffee with cream, two Sweet & Low
She put down a plate of pancakes and knew she had to go
She came down from the mountain
Gray Catskill sky above
She came down from the mountain
She came down from the mountain looking for love
Driving ‘cross the country in a gold Chevelle
Eight-track bolted to the floor
She drove up to Boston on the flip of a coin
Knowing there’d be something more
She came down from the mountain
Blue Catskill sky above
She came down from the mountain
She came down from the mountain
She came down from the mountain
I went up to the mountain
To find my love

Top Of Mind
04:57
|
|||
|
Barely conscious on Monday mornin’
Eyes closed, haven’t let the dawn in
You, already top of my mind
Belles clamor for whom they’ve told
Wonderin if, today I will hold
You, on the top of my mind
You told me you’d like it, if I’d think of you,
What that tells me is you haven’t got a clue
Every day is a new adventure,
What it brings of that I’m not sure,
But top of mind, is spending time with you
Wait in line at the postal service,
Wonderin what I did to deserve this
And You, top of mind
Seein red at the corner stop sign,
Rollin free, it could be just fine
With You, on the top of my mind
You told me you’d like it, if I’d think of you,
What that tells me is you haven’t got a clue
Every day is a new adventure,
What it brings of that I’m not sure,
But top of mind, is spending time with you
Now I lay me down to sleep,
Knowin that, in my dreams I will keep
You, top of mind
Dark surrounds me a brittle shroud,
Time relentless screams out loud that
You should be top of my mind.
Yeah, you, top of mind.
You told me you’d like it, if I’d think of you,
What that tells me is you haven’t got a clue
Every day is a new adventure,
What it brings of that I’m not sure,
But top of mind, is spending time with you
Yeah you, top of mind
Oh yeah you, you’re on the top of my mind,
Oh yeah you, top of mind
Oh yeah you, top of mind

Evolution
04:05
|
|||
|
Red sun rises in the east
He crawls out on the shore
From the primordial ooze
Crawls right up to her door
His reptilian brain
It’s hungry all the time
Never used to the pain
Of all the trouble that he finds
Looking for Evolution,
Restitution,
Revolution,
Absolution
She sees him swimming in his pool
And she wants him to be there
And she knows that he will try
But she’s never really there
looking for Evolution,
Restitution,
Revolution,
Absolution,
Some of us are swimming
Some of us are sinking
Some of us are taking, some of us are dreaming
Some of us are sleeping
Some of us are living
Some of us are taking, some of us are dreaming
Red sun rises in the east
He crawls out on the shore
From the primordial ooze
Crawls right up to her door
Looking for Evolution,
Restitution,
Revolution,
Absolution

Too Old To Go Astray
03:59
|
|||
|
Lately I’ve been trying to contemplate my life
But my thoughts keep turning back to my best friend’s wife
Spend my nights rambling around these downtown streets
Spend my days wrinkling all the neighbors’ sheets
My life was once an open book, now I’ve torn out every page
My friends were worried about me, now worry’s turned to rage
They’re whispering all over town, and I hear what they say
They say that I’m too old to go astray
I used to be Old Faithful, now the water’s all run dry
Used to be a do-right man, now I’m not that kind of guy
I met a languid twenty-five, shoulda tipped my hat
But we stripped her delicates off at the laundromat
My friends were worried about me, now worry’s turned to rage
They just cannot approve of my wayward middle age
They’re whispering all over town, and I hear what they say
They say that I’m too old to go astray
Once I was a pillar of my community
Now I’m like those toppled ruins in the sand
People once embraced me and even bought me drinks
Now they shudder just to shake my hand
My Daddy’s words of wisdom, advice I took to heart
He said, “Watch it, son, and stop it, before you even start”
One glass of Jack Daniel’s, Daddy, cautious to the end
I raise the bottle to you and throw caution to the winds
My friends were worried about me, now worry’s turned to rage
They just cannot approve of my wayward middle age
They’re whispering all over town, and I hear what they say
They say that I’m too old to go astray

Through Thick And Thin
03:48
|

Ever wonder what might been
If you’d stayed with me through thick and thin
If you’d stayed the course
Through thick and thin
Ever wonder ‘bout a world without sin
Or the color of the eyes of our kids
That we never had
Through thick and thin
Maybe I just shouldn’t waste my time wonderin’
Maybe I just shouldn’t care where you’re wanderin’
Maybe I just shouldn’t care ‘bout what could have been
Through thick and thin
Remember your advice as we crossed the ice
Watch the black or you’ll pay the price
But then came the spring
Goodbye thick and thin
Sometimes I wonder why you’re so thick
People worry be-cause I’m so thin
It’s what did us in
It’s the thick and thin
Maybe I just shouldn’t waste my time wonderin’
Maybe I just shouldn’t care where you’re wanderin’
Maybe I just shouldn’t care ‘bout what could have been
Through thick and thin
And so I let it go
Each path is our own
To each their own ice flow
And that’s where we grow
Maybe I just shouldn’t waste my time wonderin’
Maybe I just shouldn’t care where you’re wanderin’
Maybe I just shouldn’t care ‘bout what could have been
Through thick and thin

ass kicking high flying mountain climbing pedal metal
hypodermic hyperbolic hyperactive hypothetic
don’t fool, at the pool
now that is the rule
everybody make me stop (stop)
no razz, no mattazz
now don’ play no jazz
all the people want is pop (stop)
let it go – o – o
don’t hamper my ability
let it go – o – o
everybody set it free
pocket full of change
keep doin the same
can’t get away from the (this) junk
but got my spark in the dark (got a spark in the dark)
just will not depart
got to grab hold of the funk
let it go – o – o
don’t hamper my ability
let it go – o – o
everybody set it free
I was thinking
Thinking of you
And How we never met
was playing it cool
it makes me the fool
takes me right out of the game
Let it go
midlife capability
Let it go
blinded but can’t you see
Let it go
Just can’t let it be
ass kicking high flying mountain climbing pedal metal
hypodermic hyperbolic hyperactive hypothetic
ass kicking fire breathing jack rabbit snap dragon
hypodermic hyperbolic hyperactive hypothetic
Let it go...

Little Morbid One
03:02
|
|||
|
You’ve got a morbid streak a mile wide
Every time the telephone rings you know that somebody must have died
You get a letter and you’re sure that it’s bad news
Every time the doorbell rings you know that somebody’s gonna get the blues
Let me hold you baby, let’s go have some fun
I’d like to ease your worried mind, my little morbid one
You’ve got a rabbit’s foot and a mojo hand
Keep a lookout for the evil eye, but you still think you’re gonna step in quick-sand
Let me hold you baby, your burden weighs a ton
I’d like to ease your worried mind, my little morbid one
I’ve got the little death upon my mind
But the big one’s all you can think about all of the time
The reaper’s lurking ‘round every corner, let’s steal away and run
I’ll let you drive the getaway car, my little morbid one
Let me hold you baby, let’s go have some fun
I’d like to ease your worried mind, my little morbid one

Do You Remember
04:44

Do you remember? All those years ago?
The days passed by like summer clouds, and we knew where to go…
Sometimes I see your face, deep in the night
Starlight shines through your eyes, and there’s darkness round your smile
The echoes still come round this way, from collisions of the past
Bittersweet friend I call your name, from the dark-side of the hills
Sometimes I see your face, deep in the night
Starlight shines through your eyes, and there’s darkness round your smile
We’d go down to the edge of town, talk secrets in the night
Your voice I hear from far away, light years from the past
Sometimes I see your face, deep in the night
Starlight shines through your eyes, and there’s darkness round your smile

Laredo
04:43

When we strolled in the joint
It was semi-alfredo grand cru
When you played the points
Running the table I knew
Its dangerous to get out of bed
Its dangerous to do what she said
When the sun it set
A bloody tornado like you
When we dump this mess
East of Laredo, we’re through
Its dangerous inside my head
Its dangerous to go where she laid
And we carry on
Carry on
Carry on
Til the end of our song
Hear the siren’s voice
Serenade her later, refuse
Desperation boys
Leaves you no choices to choose
Its dangerous inside my head
Its dangerous to go where she laid
And we carry on
Carry on
Carry on
Til the end of our song

Play

I’m on the bus,
Are you on the bus?
Sit next to me
And we can discuss
The meaning of life
Or not – nothing much
I’m on the playground
Will you come to the playground?
Let’s go down to the playground and Play
I like to swing,
Do you like to swing?
The back and forth
Now that is the thing
Swing with me
And we will take wing
Butter flies,
Do you have these butterflies?
Will our butterflies fly
away?
I’m skipping stones - Can you
skip getting stoned?
Defy gravity - I can’t
Do it alone
Skimming the top
Til we sink below
On the see-saw - We’re all
On the see-saw
But I can lift you up
High
I’m on the see saw
Is this what she saw, When we
carved our names in the
Sky?
Oh I’m on the playground
Will you come to the playground?
Let’s go down to the playground and play
Play – ay
Play – ay
Let’s go down to the playground and play

Everyone Knows It's Over
03:32
|
|||
|
The writing appeared on the wall
Some ancient language I couldn’t decipher
The scaffold appeared at dawn
Here all along I thought that I was a lifer
Everyone knows it’s over
Everyone knows it’s true
Everyone knows it’s over
But me...and darling, maybe you
The news swiftly made the rounds
Now they’re patting my shoulder in sympathy
I always keep my ear to the ground
But somehow the news never got to me
Everyone knows it’s over
Everyone knows it’s true
Everyone knows it’s over
But me...and darling, maybe you
I was never much good at being cool
But I thought I was the king of being your fool
You strolled in with me on your arm
Shine your light on some art world soiree
I’m used to seeing every head turn
But I’ve never seen you smile and then turn away
Everyone knows it’s over
Everyone knows it’s true
Everyone knows it’s over
But me...and darling, maybe you
