Little Green Men
Ever since I was young
I've felt like you were among
The sounds I hear at night
I used to listen so hard
Sitting in my backyard
Just waiting for the light
I saw you once in the sky
I saw you with my own eye
But now I can't recall
I can't understand
Why I can't steady my hand
As I begin to fall
I used to dream I could fly
And I would get so high
But I could never stay
I'd travel to the stars
Or visit Venus and Mars
And drink the Milky Way
But what goes up must come down
And now I'm stuck on the ground
Until your plans are revealed
I know the little green men
Will come for me once again
They leave me signs in the field
I keep my radio on
In case they visit Tucson
I'm just two hours away
I'm still in my backyard
But I've got my green card
So come and take me away

Music is the Potion

Music is the Potion
Water for a thirsty man
Is like money to a thief
So don't bother with the angry man
You just leave him to his grief
If you star in the sinner's role
The stage is set in the dark below
And you will drink from the poisoned well
And you will sleep with the infidel
The fire doesn't burn as bright
But it still wakes you up in the dead of night
And you will know that you can't outrun
This life you've lived and the damage done
So bury me where I can see
The day of the rising sun
Set me up when you lay me down
So I can see the damage done
Just dig a swallow hole
To bury me when I'm old
It's just a part of living
This pain is so unforgiving
And if I rise, come tomorrow
I'll trade your love for my sorrow
I'll trade my love for your sorrow
So I can see the damage done
Music is the potion
Play on play on into the ocean

Freedom
I'm older now
I don't have to hide
I'm all grown up
I can go outside
And all my fears from the past
That I could not escape
They have been silenced with anger
And a guilty shape
Some say that anger
Is as free as the sun
So I gathered myself
And I began to run
Some say that freedom
Is twice as nice
So I followed the leaders
And I paid the price
Gonna fly

Call My Name
If it feels like the end
You feel the darkness closing in
Or if it seems too damn bright
When you turn out the light
Just call out my name
When your heart cannot feel
And your eyes they won't see
And your dreams are much too real
When you set your demons free
When your head won't make sense
Of the stories that you tell
Just call out my name
And I'll be strong
Strong when you cannot be
When the night is long
And the stars fall to history
And I will fight anything to set you free
And I will fix you
Just call out my name
If you're thinking that you’re lost
And your soul can't pay the cost
And you're desperate to make it home
To lie down in your bed
Just call out my name
You always tell yourself to climb
But the mountain is too steep
And you tell yourself to run
But you're talking in your sleep
When your head won't make sense
Of the stories that you tell
Just call out my name
And I'll be strong
Strong when you cannot be
When the night is long
And the stars fall to history
And I will fight anything to set you free
And I will fix you
Just call out my name

Loose End
Dreaming that you're not asleep behind the wheel
And waking up to find that love wasn't real
If there's one thing in life that you should know
Know when to stay and when it's time to let go
Just say, bye bye
The feeling that you live in outer space
Is eating at the smile you wear on your face
You're hoping that you'll change somewhere down the line
Believing hope will change your state of mind
I used to be afraid of being alone
So I learned to pretend
I never wanted to be left on my own
Or be somebody's loose end
I think of all the things I could have been
If only I had known just where to begin
Of all the things I should, I should have known
That you can't fly if you carry a stone
Just say, bye bye
I used to be afraid of being alone
So I learned to pretend
I never wanted to be left on my own
Or be somebody's loose end
You're wondering what you'd see with a second look
Or maybe what you'd read in a another book
But you won't ever be somebody else
Unless you find a way to just be yourself
You just say, bye bye
And it makes you
Wander like a child

We Do What We Do
They fly in the wind
And they hide in the sound
And they do what they can
To put me in the ground
They come from the north
And they come from the south
And they do what they can
To shut my mouth
But we fight for our homes
And we fight for our towns
And we do what we do
And we never back down
And we'll fight in the day
And we'll hunt you at night
And the blood will flow
Until we make this right

The Open Door
When it's dark
Where do shadows hide?
I find them in places
Where I bury truth next to sorrow
And when it's dark
There is no shame
There's nothing to fear again
Until the light
Of tomorrow
If I fall asleep
I might fall too deep
And suddenly my heart
Is pierced with the tip
Of your arrow
If I lie awake
I begin to shake
And I wonder why I never could follow
The straight and narrow
And I'm searching for
The open door
But it's not where
It was before
I play the part
Of the angry man
And I let the whole world know
That they shouldn't
Come any nearer
And I believed the lie
That I'd never die
I could take on the world
Until I saw myself in the mirror
And I'm searching for
The open door
But it's not where
It was before

If I Stumble

If I Stumble
If I've ever been too vain
If I've ever been unkind
If I've ever let you down
When I have got things on my mind
If I ever speak too quick
Or when my words
Come out all wrong
I hope you know I love you
And you feel it in this song
If I stumble
On this road I'm on
I might fall into despair
If you help me up
And push me on
I'll make it back
I swear
If I ever seem indifferent
Or if you see me
At my worst
If I ever make you feel
Like I am putting myself first
If I ever show you weakness
When you need me to be strong
I hope you know I love you
And you feel it in this song
If I stumble
On this road I'm on
I might fall into despair
If you help me up
And push me on
I'll make it back
I swear
I'll love you forever
I'll pay any cost
Please hold me forever
So I don't get lost

That's What I Said

That’s What I Said
Well I see you there
In the cold night air
A shivering piece of dying flesh
Pardon me for asking
But who do you think you are?
So the fool has nothing to learn
As he watches his bridges burn
And you sit and cry and wonder why
Your wings of lead will never fly
It looks like you gave your mind a pencil
But you drew a blank
That’s what I said
I work my fingers to the bone
And I better get paid
Moving in and out with the cash flow
A thousand deals to be made
The green machine is fed
Well that’s what I said
Hey I’ve been down this road before
I’ve been where you stand
A stranger in a stranger land
And once love was there behind
And once love was mine all mine
But dreams shared with desperate pigs
And dumb luck have left me blind
But I’m not worried
Because I’ve had a little taste of the good life
And I believe in the separation
Of church and talk show
The love of money is the religion of fools
And a fool and his money
Will soon be at the corner store
That’s what I said
Looks like you’ve swallowed all the tales
About the good life
Now drink the bitter wine
Because you fell across the sky
Like a shooting star
Only to burn out in the end
Well that’s what I said
Oh come on
Where’s your will to be weird?
This is breakfast for your head
That's what I said
Hey don’t let me bring you down
Because I’m just trying to make it through
Just like you
So let's have a good life
And maybe we'll meet again someday
Near The Shoulder of Orion
Then again, Maybe not
That’s what I said
