Looking For Myself

[rev. July 23, 2013]

Sent me a letter now I feeling better
And write it in my own hand
I said I'm sorry child for the tears you cried
Never never what I planned
  I just keep looking for myself baby
  Everywhere
  Anywhere

I got a big big hurry and don't you worry
And can't you understand
  I just keep looking for myself baby
  Everywhere
  Anywhere

I got a big old bag from a downtown hag
She put it in my hand
  But I just keep looking for myself baby
  Everywhere
  Anywhere

I just keep looking for myself baby
Everywhere
Anywhere

I just keep looking for myself baby
Everywhere
Anywhere

I just keep looking for myself baby
Everywhere

 

Hollywood Ending

[rev. July 23, 2013]

My baby and me
So fucked up and free
Dissolve in slow
But faster still

Aw, my baby and I
We're trying to die
We fall and we fly
To the ceiling

Hollywood, Hollywood ending
Hollywood, Hollywood ending

My baby it's true
I'm turning into you
Don't know what to do
It's the strangest thing

Aw, My baby switch place
I'm wearing your face
All over the place
It's the strangest thing

Hollywood, Hollywood ending
Hollywood, Hollywood ending

My baby get straight
I'm coming in late
My love turn to hate
It's the saddest thing

Aw, my baby come here
I'm crying my tear
I'm an angel near
Her baddest thing

Hollywood, Hollywood ending
Hollywood, Hollywood ending

 

Walk With Me (Little Baby)

Little baby won't you have a little walk with me
Little baby have a walk with me
Come on baby think how happy baby we could be
Little baby if you walk with me

You're the best baby I ever had
You really make my heart feel glad
Oh come on baby have a little walk with me
Ai yai yai yai

Little baby won't you have a little talk with me
Little baby have a talk with me
Come on baby think how happy baby we could be
Little baby if you talk with me

You're the best baby I ever had
You really make my heart feel glad
Oh come on baby have a little walk with me
Ai yai yai yai

Little baby, have a walk with me
Oh come on baby, walk with me

Little baby won't you have a little walk with me
Little baby have a walk with me
Little baby think how happy baby we could be
Little baby if you walk with me

You're the best baby I ever had
You really make my heart feel glad
Oh come on baby have a little walk with me
Ai yai yai yai yai

 

Near

[rev. July 23, 2013]

Time is passing, stranger at the door
Nothing happened the way it did before
Mornings come, mornings go
I look for a face that I should know

I see heaven in a puddle below
A stitch in time I outta sew
I blow my trumpet for Jericho
I ask a question, someone says no

I lose myself in the lovely snow
I blow my due while I'm doing blow
I buy some tickets, too late for the show
I can't tell if you're a friend or a foe

I know that you're near
Just waiting for you to appear
I know that you're here

I jump a train for Saskatoon
I hop inside an igloo moon
I hope my prayers will be answered soon
I take the cotton out of my spoon

I know that you're near
Just waiting for you to appear
I know that you're here
I know that you're near

 

The Cockpit

[rev. Aug. 11, 2013]

Hey there
I'm all confused
See me landing
I'm landing on sea
Please come up to the cockpit
And rescue me

Then tonight we're gonna soar
Tonight we're gonna get some more
Tonight we're gonna really live
Tonight we're gonna try to forgive

Baby
I'm all defused
See me drowning
I'm drowning on land
Please come up to the cockpit
I need a hand

Baby
I'm all expired
See me fading
I'm fading away
Please come up to the cockpit
Please right away

Tonight we're gonna soar
Tonight we're gonna get some more
Tonight we're gonna really live
Tonight we're gonna try to forgive

 

Higher Than Yesterday

[rev. July 23, 2013]

Snow comes down gonna hit the ground
Gonna hold you in my hands
I'm gonna duck and weave like you won't believe
And you couldn't understand

I go full throttle, pick up the bottle
Gonna hold it in my hands
You better have your shot 'cause it's all you got
It's not more than I planned

It's such a long time you're gonna be gone
I don't know why it's taking so long
Drivin', arrivin', almost survivin'
Altitude says were divin'
Still higher than yesterday

Sun came out, gonna walk about
Gonna catch you in my hands
I'm gonna heave and blow till I just don't know
Till we're swimming in the sand

I can't pull up, gonna fill my cup
I'm gonna put it in my hands
I'm gonna hurt my pain, think of you again
And hanging with the band

It's such a long time you're gonna be gone
I don't know why it's taking this long
Drivin', arrivin', almost survivin'
Altitude says were divin'
Still higher than yesterday

 

Lowboy

[rev. July 23, 2013]

Lowboy
How low can you go boy
I said now lowboy
How low can you go boy

The stuff's out the back
But the sky has turned black
Rest your head
Now the pigs have been fed
Is there anything you still can enjoy

Lowboy
How low can you go boy
Lowboy
How low can you go boy

The wound has been bled
But the river is red
Rub that sleep from your eyes
'Cause yonder she lies
Is there anything you still can enjoy

Lowboy

The stuff's out the back
The sky has turned black
Rub that sleep from your eyes
'Cause yonder she rise
Is there anything you still can enjoy

Lowboy

 

The Equator

[rev. July 23, 2013]

Lotta love an equator
I storm around in my baby's place
I can't seem to locate her
I can't seen to remember her face

And I hate it when she'd beat me
And I hate it when I lose
And I hate it when I fall down short
And leave me groveling at her shoes

Gotta love an equator
Drinkin' wine in the island night
And I'll be seeing you later
I'll be believin' your leavin' is right

And I hate it when you kill me
And I hate it when I die
And I hate it when you just give in
And I know you don't have to try

 

Was There Ever

[rev. Aug. 11, 2013]

Was there ever talk of love
In the stillness of the night
Did you ever walk away
From a love so bright

See you standing in the room
See you wander in the night
Did you ever ever see
Stars so bright

Burning (burning cold)
Burning cold (burning cold)
She was burning (burning cold)
Burning cold (burning cold)

Was there ever talk of snow
Was there any sign of me
Did you ever have to go
Walk right back again

See you standing at the gate
I see you tired in the night
Did you ever ever see
A finer sight

Burning (burning cold)
Burning cold (burning cold)
She was burning (burning cold)
Burning cold (burning cold)
That's right

Was there ever talk of love
In the stillness of the night
Did you ever walk away
From a love so bright

Burning (burning cold)
Burning cold (burning cold)
She was burning (burning cold)
Burning cold (burning cold)

La la la la la la la
Oh do do da do do da
La ba boo do do da do
Ta boom ba doom dum dum da ah ahh

 

So Long

[rev. July 23, 2013]

Rolling along
A song in my mind
Just strolling around
I'm gonna leave you behind

I'm just another string to you
I'm just another thing to you
I'm just another scar on your head
I'm just another day to you
I'm just another lay to you
I'm just another fool in your bed

Rolling along
A song in my mind
Just strolling around
I'm gonna leave you behind

I'm just another gun to you
I'm just another fun to you
I'm just another voice on the phone
I'm just another idiot
Not even worth considering
I just don't want to be on my own

So I'm rolling along
I got this song in my mind
Strolling around
I'm gonna leave you behind

Just like this
I miss her baby
You're gonna...
I do think you're not fair to me
Not right
Let's get you right
Out of my sight
I'm gonna leave you one day
And leave you one night
I'm gonna leave you whether it's wrong or right
I'll walk away now (so long)
Can't hear what you say now, no no no
Ah just just for believing
Ca-Can't hear what you're sayin' (come back in sometime)
That's right (oh you can be sure)
Bye bye
Good luck
So long
I'll sing my song
(Yeah)

 

The Wilderness

[rev. July 23, 2013]

'Hey, how much did you guys give David?'
('Hey David! Who else is here?')

(Hey! Hey Ray!)

(My world so far)

My world so far
My world closed doors
My world not yours
My world so far
My world so far
My world so far
My world

What do you want
What do you want
My world
My world
(I can see it now, I can see the future of my donkey and my camel)
(No, no, no, no, no, no, no, nooo...)

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh fuuuck)

What do you want
What do you want
What do you want
What do you want

(Jesus Christ)

[Girl's voice:] That's weird
