YOUR SILVER LASHES
(Rock Stamberg)
Something I wrote down
Do you believe in fate
Lonely rites
of summer
of winter
of fall
In a life unwritten
Like your silver lashes
I want to hate you
Yeah, I really do
But still I wish you'd call
call me up
on the phone
every night
In a life unwritten
Like your silver lashes
I dream in green
Broke and alone
Alone at home

Throat Rocket

Standing at the stove
a baby's in her arms
she don't need no one
Sure could use a light
only got two arms
fuss 'n fight
Hell, it's pure hell
Hell, it's pure hell
Memories all on the phone
No I don't feel alone
My, how the kids have grown
Hell, it's pure hell
It's pure hell
It's pure hell
A woman standing at the stove
a baby's in her arms
she don't need no one
Don't do me that
Don't do me that
Don't do me that
Don't do me that way

I Close My Eyes
04:35
|

|
I was born lucky
And now I see the light
I'm done, it's time, not another word
I close my eyes
Can you feel it
Weights and measures
I close my eyes ...
Going back several years ago
I found my feet on the ground
I dot my i's, I cross my t's
I found myself outside
Can you feel it
Take-away treasures
I close my eyes ...
Give me the dope and the car keys
I'm so outta here

Don't tell me what I'm thinking
Don't you dare say how I feel
Try listening just this one time
I've seen this before
I've been here before
A pig, a poke, and a real good time
Now we're all on cloud nine, yeah
I've picked out a spot
It's really happening and hot
Let's all take a ride together this time

Things To Be

There right in front of me
So many things to be
Why I see why am I in front of me
There right in back of me
So many things to be
Why I am I see why in back of me
Left and right of me
So many things to see
Why I am I left and right of me
What have you done for me
I mean lately
Why I am I things to be

Duke's Up

And if I said to you
I wasn't listening
Didn't hear what you said
What's the difference anyway
Royalty that's me
Oughtta be treated accordingly
My own worst enemy
Is looking right back at me
What fuss and what fight
Got my dukes up tonight
What fuss and what fight
Got my dukes up for what's good, what's right
I like to think that's enough
Or even close
I've been running away for so long now
It's second nature anyhow
Don't hang me out to dry now
I'm a king you know
Music is love
But I shake my fists anyway
For the love of God
I play my heart out
I like to think I know the score
But who am I kidding

The Truth Hurts
04:15

Maybe I don't know (Truth hurts)
Never loved you, no
Maybe I never did
You're baby said some things (Truth hurts)
All about me
Things I don't wanna hear
Maybe you robbed me (Truth hurts)
Stuck your hands right in
Took my money
Man you did me in (Truth hurts)
Friendship is a sin
You laughed as I bled
Now it's party time (Truth hurts)
All this judgement's mine
I've got work to do
(Truth hurts)
Data entry now (Truth hurts)
Elementary now
Rudimentary now
I press the delete key (Truth hurts)
That's enough for me
See you fly away now
(Truth hurts)

Baby, now that you put me down
I know just how to get around
And now that you've gone and put me down
I ain't gonna be your little clown
Put me on your list
Checking it twice
Taking me down, baby
You're putting me down
Now that I am all alone again
I won't be setting foot in your house again
Now that you have put me down again
Just look how I get around again
I wouldn't kid you, child
I'm stepping out
Taking me down, baby
You put me down
Now that you have put me down, my little one
I ain't gonna be around for very long
Now that you put me down
I ain't around
Now that you put me down
I ain't around
Now that you put me down
I ain't around
Now that you put me down
I ain't around
Now that you put me down
I ain't around

Somebody Like Me

Got a secret I'm telling you
Gonna take a victory lap
I wish you were here
(You know I do)
My muscle memory
Do I expect too much?
(Of course I do)
Do you ever get lonely?
Who are you now, first love of mine?
Am I paying the price?
Where were your shoulders when we cried?
Sure could use a six-pack of shut-eye
I wish you were here
(You know I do)
My muscle memory
Maybe I expect too much
(Of course I do)
Do you ever get lonely?
I wish I could take away your pain
Like a smash-and-grab
Some folks would be happy
Just to have one dream come true
Does my name die with me?
Do you ever think about somebody like me?
