Workin’ till midnight, and it’s not even eight
Gotta bad moon risin, I feel crushed under weight
It seems like lately you’ve disowned your phone
And I feel so tired thinking these thoughts alone
Nothing else left to do, but trudge on the line
You go your way and I’ll go mine
Well, your pill done me wonders, but now you’ve pulled the plug
I believe I’m addicted, and you’re my only drug
I’m left here suspended like a frosted leaf
I’ve lost all my faith, don’t know why I should believe
Maybe I’m worryin’ too much, I should feel fine
You go your way and I’ll go mine
They say the meek ‘ll inherit, but I sure ain’t meek
Tried to prove I’m worthy without appearin’ weak
May not be dyin, but you can’t call this life
My soul is lyin on the sharp edge of your knife
Would have been easier if I’d just heeded the sign
You go your way and I’ll go mine
If my lips needed water, my lungs needed air
I know we’re all bound to suffer but I’ve suffered my share
Now I feel too wasted to figure out my next move
This needle is grindin’ on it’s final groove
I know this needs sayin but it’s so hard to define
Just go your way and I’ll go mine

Better Than Me
Chilly breeze is numbing up my face
And my world is such a crazy place
Sky is cloudy sun is crawling down
Not much work for a redundant clown
I know there’s much more that I could do
If I could only get my mind off you
I’m sure I could be better than me
Feel like smiling and that’s always good
I’m not the type to go round touchin wood
Life is beautiful, or so they say
I’m tryin hard to see that side today
And if everything remains the same
If I could only say I lost this game
I’m sure I could be better than me
Wish I could go back to before I knew you
You wouldn’t understand
If it’s so damn hard to smile and mean it
Don’t need you to pretend
Life is funny the way it turns out
Barely whimperin’ though I planned to shout
I don’t really need to make no noise
I myself have grown to hate my voice
Life could be so sweet, you know it’s true
‘nd I’m still prayin to get over you
I’m sure I could be better than me

One's Floor
They made love on a bright morning drenched in fiction
She didn’t know his real name
She was perfect but she breathed by the notion
That he loved her soul the same
And when he asked for her sweet love
She thought that he was the one
Now one’s floor is nothing other than one’s ceiling
And it takes one to know one
Yes one’s floor is nothing other than one’s ceiling
And it takes one to know one
He couldn’t make it on the day although he promised
He never saw his little boy
Though it killed her she still liked him as an artist
No one wanted to employ
Thirteen hours turned her old
Though her life has just begun
Now one’s floor is nothing other than one’s ceiling
And it takes one to know one
Yes one’s floor is nothing other than one’s ceiling
And it takes one to know one
She thought she wrote her own ledger
She thought she made all the rules
Could take time to discover she was
Only a pawn in his games, there to lose
Now she hears that he’s a little girl’s father
And he has found the perfect wife
She can’t take that he belongs to someone other
She can only take her life
And so it goes, each human knows
Each night betrays the sun
Now one’s floor is nothing other than one’s ceiling
And it takes one to know one
Yes one’s floor is nothing other than one’s ceiling
And it takes one to know one

Next To Me
She smiles and I know
There’s no place like home
She shelters me wherever I choose to roam
Now we’re down to two, it’s how we’ll always be
I may be put aside but
She’ll always be right next to me
And she gives me all
She has to give
She is all the reason I have to live
By tears I was trapped, but her smile‘s set me free
I’m not scared of the night for
She’ll always be right next to me
I have stopped dreaming dreams
That die with the night
And I’m blessed I can live
A life that is right
And my life’s in her eyes and it’s all that I see
And my future shines bright cos
She’ll always be right next to me

Tramps and Kings
I pretend to enjoy the rhyming song
That which must die at least I’ll prolong
All things fall down
And tramp can be king, give him crown
And what else would you expect
Pain is easy to neglect
Should I smile or cry instead
I know it’s strange but I’m laughing in my head
I’ll say no more
A tramp can be king, give him crown

Desert Sun
Jesus was a real good guy
Much more into lovin’ than I
I looked in my mirror and
Why did I shiver
It’s just a mirror
But there’s me inside
What reflects there is something I wish
I had ways to alter or hide
Don’t know what’s come over me
Can’t take it in that it’s me
And my journey’s only just begun
Desert sun, desert sun
When I think of the days long gone by
Heavy wings never learnt how to fly
We walked on the thin line
We smiled at the sunshine
The vibes were all sublime
World rocked as it rolled
But today seems to me it’s hard to catch up
With your youth when you’re old
Don’t know what’s controlling me
I was once happy and free
Sharpest bend and endless space to run
This desert sun, desert sun
I’m asking why
Why don’t we rest here tonight, soakin in moonbeams blue?
Tell me why
Why can’t your dreams be my dreams, let me dream a dream of you?
Jesus was a flesh and blood man
And I’m rustin' like an old soda can
This world will be ending
Old men will be bending
The world will be ending the way it began
All the contrasting shades that we use
To express what is filling our mind
Will soon drive us color blind
Why drink water when I’ve nowhere to run
From desert sun, desert sun

Melt In the Sunshine
With my crumpled cigarette stashed beside my stale baguette
I leave my eyes to feast upon you smiling
I may be what I smoke that’s why I look like a joke
You’ve got me in a trance, just so beguiling
Maybe we’re only made of paper for we tear
Like this I’ve never felt
And ice cream tends to melt in the sunshine
No matter what I say I can’t make you change your way
And in a sense that makes my love for you grow fonder
You’re weak but growing strong and the workin day is long
So it gives me all the time I need to wonder
Maybe we’re only made of tinder for we burn
Like this I’ve never felt
And ice cream tends to melt in the sunshine
No matter what you say you can’t change the night to day
You cannot make me say what I’m not feeling
And in these times of doubt some things I can do without
I may not be standing straight, I sure ain’t kneeling
Maybe we're made of something stronger for we sustain
Like this I’ve never felt
And ice cream tends to melt in the sunshine
