Trillion Miles Away 02:46
lyrics

Trillion Miles Away Woke up this morning, the moon in my eye With out any warning, from out of the sky A shiny flashing saucer About ten yards across her I froze right there in awe, sir Out of the door come a strange looking sight I could have sworn I was fooled by the light A real live green eyed space man He walked up to my face, man And there began the chase, man After a while I knew he was cool So I stopped running away like a fool I ask what games they play A trillion miles away And this is what he say . . .

Nothing 02:42
lyrics

Nothing There's a place in the forest where I'm gonna be A place in the mountains right next to the sea And that's where you'll find me, vibrating the air And there's nothing in this world That can keep me from going there 'Cause I'm leaving the prison, the term I received For wanting the the freedom we're all guaranteed Now I'm gonna take it, can't wait anymore And no mindless uniform Can put me back behind his doors I've got time for the changes, and space to expand The mind and the dream, in the heart and the hand And that's where you'll find me, vibrating like air And there's nothing in this world I say there's nothing anywhere

Parasox 04:39

Parasox Put your shoes on wash your face Grab your hat, let's join the race For the new planet Green wild and still So far away On the way we'll have a chance For some outer space romance In the lush music Dance in your sex Is heavenly Sitting in the garden shade Beauty is the dream I made The human race races on Watching as the sunlight fades Heart of fire face of life Mother is a tortured wife She feels the sly old parasites Parachutes in paradise Paralyzed, paranoid, parallax, paradox Pair o' pants, pair o' shoes, pair o' socks

I Think You're Losing My Mind 04:28
lyrics

I think You're Losing My Mind I wrote a song about a deep Russian lake I wrote a song about the curse of religion I wrote a song about a gender mistake I wrote a song about the time running out Because the time's running out Where have I been all my life? I think you're losing my mind I'm alright I am fine But watch out I think you're losing my mind I'm right here I'm OK But beware I think you're losing my mind I tried to tell you that we've been here before I tried to tell you that our lives are in danger I tried to tell you I can't lie anymore I tried to tell you that the time's running out Because the time's running out Where have I been all my life? I think you're losing my mind I had a dream that we would ruin the Earth I had a dream that we would poison the planet I had a dream that there would be a rebirth I had a dream about the time running out Because the time's running out Where have I been all my life? I think you're losing my mind

Going Down 04:35

Going Down Think I'm in trouble Feel like I'm lost at sea Storm blew me sideways Don't know where I'm bound to be Longing to go home Dreaming of better days Simple and happy Was another life Looks like I'm here to stay I hear a perpetual Roaring sea I hear a sky full of stars Calling me Come home Find me I've been here For the entire climb Save me I'm going down For the final time Again Dreamed I was special Living to love and learn Followed a phantom Down a road of no return Thought I heard laughter Thought I would join the game All these years after Horrified to learn I'd left a trail of pain Waves call me home Save me

Don't Be Sorry 03:33

Don't Be Sorry The Badlands and the Yellowstone Montana in the Eastern zone A catfish in the bathtub A piano in my bones The dying wasn't real to me Was too young to know life would be So very temporary Like the blossoms on a tree Don't be sorry Dry your eyes Don't be sorry Everybody cries It's alright A planet rolls beneath my feet I stumble as it turns to meet A massive stellar fireball Bringing light and life and heat A future that has come to be A nightmare somehow shown to me That morning as a warning Fifty Summers gone to sea Don't be sorry Dry your eyes Don't be sorry Everybody tries The Badlands and the Yellowstone Montana in the Eastern zone A catfish in the bathtub A piano in my bones When dying gets around to me It's alright, what will be will be So very temporary Like the fruit under the tree It's alright Don't be sorry Dry your eyes Don't be sorry Everybody dies

Desperation 03:45
lyrics

Desperation Another world, another life I dreamt I was a dancer I asked a man which way to go And I still need an answer I play enough to satisfy My restless imagination But movies, music, games, and beauty Can't stop the rising wave of Desperation I work my job, I pay the bills I spend all day doing one thing A thousand channels on TV And I'm still missing something There must be more than work routines And useless recreation The body worship's getting old Excuse me, this looks like a job for Desperation We got the dogs, we got the cats We got our vision enhancers We got our garden in the back But I still need an answer A weathered town in Oregon A hard beat radio station The set and soundtrack for the film Of my life I think I'll call it Desperation

I Had No Idea 03:35

I Had No Idea I laid on a stone One cold April night Beneath the Northern glow The solar wind Danced over the sky A ghostly blue-green flow I loved the sky I loved the stars That shined on through But I had no idea What love really was Until I loved you We rode the storm Long as we could Ignored the warning bell A bitter wind Rolled in overnight And dreams of Heaven fell I know the pain, the loss of love We all go through But I had no idea What losing was Until I lost you The darker the night The brighter the stars That light the Milky Way The Summer wind Whispers through the trees A dream of endless play I love the trees And the silent song They're dancing to But I had no idea What love really was Until I loved you

Somewhere Truly Near Me I just can't hear you No, I can't even see you But I can feel you So I know you must be there Somewhere You've got me singing Think I'm losing my mind And if I lose you It will mean the end of yours Truly My cherished heartbeat Won't you be mine forever 'Cause when I'm near you Well, I love the way you are Near me

Do You See Me? 03:05
lyrics

Do You See Me? Do you see me? Do you hear my voice? If you just don't want to listen To what your missin' You won't know what to do When you find out You can touch me Reach on out and touch me Baby maybe you'd hear what I say If I was on top of a misty mountain Starved to the bone Just sitting there alone As hard as a stone But wiser Maybe people will listen to me If I'm the bad news angerman on TV Here have some more There's hate, disease, and war Well now here's the score And you lose Maybe you could see truth in my words If I was in front of you working magic If I made it snow From blue skies and sun Then would you know? Or would you just run and hide?

Sirius 03:50
lyrics

Sirius Don't you get tired? I get tired of seeing people hurting each other Here on this rolling rock we ride With our troubled sisters and brothers Wouldn't you like to know Just how lucky we really are? This the place where we all get Our chances to visit the stars Can you see a world with everybody Letting everybody be just who they are? And can you see us living life As though we're all aware of where we are Before we've gone too far?

Cats Eat Mice 03:22

Cats Eat Mice (Nimbus Grumbles) LIghtning freezes the steamy night Nimbus grumbles, don't like the light Sounds like a mountain rolling down To the river's mouth When the water gets on my hide Start a-running, get back inside Here at the door I watch the show To the West and South When it's over I leave the house Find a meal for a handsome mouse Maybe a bread crust or two Til the break of dawn Getting into a tater peel In between my little ribs I feel Claws, and my throat is filled with teeth And my breath is gone Well, I guess that it's safe to say Cats eat mice on a rainy day All that she left here is my jaw And my whiskered nose

My Last Goodbyes 03:16

My Last Goodbyes I've said my last goodbyes Soon I'll fly High away Back someday Oh, I don't know where I'm going Blue and blowing Leaves around Snow come down Slow He's just a shadow Moving behind himself He's just a silhouette Down on the ground Everywhere he looks He sees is own eyes looking back All the time he had has gone by He called me and said he was Dark and down I told him that he was old

about

OK, technically all 13 songs are done now, but I think I'm going to redo the vocals on "Sirius." I'm not too fond of the approach I took. Then I will still need to get the lyric booklet together, and figure out if I'm going to make it a CD, or vinyl or just leave it all virtual. Is there any form of "hard copy" for music anymore, besides vinyl? Whatever, I'll be starting album number four as we start Summer.

These 13 songs are some of what I think are my most "accessible" songs, but there will still be a few that are not exactly "Easy Listening." You can blame Debussy, Shostakovich, and others, but especially Frank Zappa, for his powerful effect on my impressionable teenage brain, all those years ago.
