Hey, watcha doin' there all alone?
You know you can't quite make it on your own
I sit on the stairs with the war right before me
Your face is just blank it says "you're nothing, you bore me."
Hey, Alistair
I know all I need to know about your iron ways
Alistair, are you on my side?
Alistair, you're never satisfied
Your sentiments bring a touch of riot
You know I will not try it
Hey, that's fine
You know I'll leave you here all alone
I learned it from you that contempt is contagious
I've known you for years but you're still an acquaintance
Hey, Alistair
I know all I need to know about your iron ways
Alistair, are you on my side?
Alistair, you make my guard dogs cry
Your sentiments bring a touch of riot
You know I will not try it
I sit on the stairs with the war right before me
Hey, Alistair

Western Sunshine
03:18
|

I am a voyager, I seek to find me
I'm not sure where I am, but it's not this valley
My world is closing in, it doesn't feel like mine
I'll trade these eastern woods for western sunshine
Not gonna settle, gonna find my way
And keep in mind that every day's a new day
I am a spirit dancing through this lifetime
And there are other souls who will help free mine
I'll meet them on the road or maybe on the tide
As I seek myself in western sunshine
Not gonna settle, gonna find my way
And keep in mind that every day's a new day
I was a voyager
I sought to find me
But my ideal was always two steps ahead of me
Coast to coast I roamed until I found that high
Now we shoot off like the stars in western sunshine
Not gonna settle, gonna find my way
And keep in mind that every day's a new day
We are spirits dancing through this lifetime
And there are other souls who help us live our lives
We'll meet them on the road or maybe on the tide
As we celebrate in sweetest sunshine

Trees
02:16
|

Tall trees cut down
No more shadows from the tall trees
One hundred years of history
In the night sky
An unobstructed view of the waxing crescent moon
The grinding noises
The workmen's voices
Cut it all away
What's left?

Juanita

Oh Juanita, I know
Just say that you'll go
Oh my fairest, oh my scene
Logophile with a master's degree
Oh my culture, oh my scene
Tell me tales of the walls that you've seen
Oh my fairest, oh my scene
Logophile with a master's degree
Oh my cultured dark skinned queen
Say you'll dance with me out on the beach
It's the sunshine
It's hot around noontime
I've got the light skin
I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning
Oh Juanita, I know
Just say that you'll go
Oh my fairest, oh my scene
Logophile with a master's degree
It's the sunshine
It's steamy it's noontime
I've got the light skin
I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning
Oh Juanita, I know
Just say that you'll go
We go

The Feud
01:11

Back in '87 friend I was in a smoky bar
I brought the "A" material to my stand up act
I was gonna be a star
Til I met the devil, her name was Rosie
She came into the fray
Well she broke my back and she stole my act
And she went along on her way
Look at you
Now look at me
This shouldn't be the way
Look at me
Now look at you
You're the one who stole my fame
Hey Rosie
You stole my ideas
I'm gonna break you over my knee
If I could lift you
Look at you
Now look at me
I'm fed up with this game
Look at me
Now look at you
You're the one with my fame
Hey Rosie
You stole my ideas
I'm gonna break you over my knee
If I could lift you

You Don't Have to Go
02:52
|

I know it's getting late but
You don't have to go
It's late on a February night
We sit inside by my dim desk light
You're looking out the window waiting for that car
The headlights flashing but it's not your ride tonight
No, they won't show
You're looking out the window still as if there's hope
I tried to amuse you
Making shadow puppets by my dim desk light
Your mind is out the window still, it's on that car
The headlights flashing and the shadows racing
Oh, it's alright
You know if you want to you can stay here for the night
I know it's getting late but
You don't have to go
February night turns to February dawn
You didn't have to go

Grandfathers

Do you see me?
Will you share?
Would you be proud of the ones who carry your name?
I've heard the stories
But not your truth
We'll never lounge in the sun and talk away the day
The corner stone kept in shape beneath the oak
Eternal shade
You can tell me
Were you scared?
It's been too long now since I talked with you
I'll never forget your face
The corner stone kept in shape beneath the oak
Eternal shade
Eternal shade
