A Steady Hand on the Wheel 05:04
lyrics
buy track
Crazy days, crazy times and crazy ways It's like the whole world Has lost its mind Where can you turn Where there ain't no one to turn to You're either out front Or you're left behind What we need Is a steady hand on the wheel One that will guide us Through the darkest night What we need Is a steady hand on the wheel One that will guide us Into the light Broken hearts, broken bones and broken dreams There ain't no direction That you can head What do you seek When there ain't nothing worth seeking All of your hopes Are gone and dead Give us some hope Give us something to live for Give us a sign Give us something to reach for Shattered hopes, shattered lives and shattered hearts Who will bring us Altogether again What can you know When there ain't nothing worth knowing Maybe you can be The one to save us in the end

A Good Night's Sleep 05:13
lyrics
buy track
I don't ask much of this world But all I want is to fall so deep I don't ask much of this world But all I want is a good night's sleep All I want, all I want, all I want All I want is to fall so deep All I want, all I want, all I want All I want is a good night's sleep What's that noise under the bed Whatever it is it fills my head It makes a sound like a dead man's moan I hope and pray it'll leave me alone I wake up to a deathly screech The daylight is still out of reach I toss and turn and toss and turn The wires in my head they churn and burn Who will guide me through this gloom Find the door out of my room Bring me to the light of day Hold my hand and lead the way

Long Dusty Road 05:12
lyrics
buy track
Hey, hey ho I've traveled so long with my load Hey, hey ho I've traveled a long, long dusty road Out, out of this world Left all I knew so far behind Out, out of this world What in the world did I hope to find Of all the places I'd been And all spaces within I'm going home Hey, hey ho All of my dreams gone down the drain Hey, hey ho I've traveled a long, long dusty lane Here, here and gone From the highest peaks to the furthest shore Here, here and gone Don't know my way around no more All of the things I recognize Have flown away like butterflies Home, home on the range Home, home on the range Home, home on the range My old home it don't seem strange Hey, hey ho My broken heart and aching feet Hey, hey ho I've traveled a long, long dusty street I'm in need of repair A little tender loving care

Invincible Summer 05:28
lyrics
buy track
I could feel the cold was coming on Don't know why I was so surprised It's not like winter was new to me It came as advertised With every beat of my heart I could hear the sound of a distant drummer In the depths of winter I found in me An invincible summer I curled myself into a tiny ball So small I could go undetected Still I hoped that you would find me there Heal the wounds that have grown so infected I turned to God for my strength But he must've been busy I turned to my family But they abandoned me long ago I turned to all the things I'd built But they were objects without feeling So I turned away from all that And I turned back to the person that I could know I buried myself under a pile of blankets I planned to sleep at least until spring It was very my own way of hibernating I didn't need a single thing

I Remember You 04:23
lyrics
buy track
How could I forget How could I be fooled You did what you always do You’d think that I’d be schooled To you we’re all patsies We are meant to be ruled Now I remember A bright light has come shining through Now I remember I remember you I remember you You are pretty clever You always get me going You deal in distraction So I have no way of knowing You can stem the tide And keep a river from flowing I remember what you said I remember all you done You can shine like a beacon But you are not the sun You can sound solemn And you can seem sincere You can instill trust And you can foment fear I just need to remind myself I just need to be clear

A Way Around the Sun 03:51
lyrics
buy track
Meet me on a star End the day a castaway Follow me that far Today's amazing energy Raise high the roof beam Don't forget reality that whispers There's a way around the sun Remember yesterday There's a secret in the wind Not like any kind of happening before There's a secret in the wind That whispers, that whispers There's a way around the sun Once I got my head away On that tomorrow sea It ain't no ordinary way And the sand beneath our feet Is freedom

Don't You Toss Me 06:06
lyrics
buy track
I’m not ready, I’m not ready to go I know you don’t know it I know it might not show I may seem feeble I may seem out of my mind But I’m not ready Ready to be left behind Can you hear me, can you hear me now No, no, no, no don’t you toss me Don’t you toss me No, no, no, no don’t you toss me Don’t you toss me out I’m not willing, I’m not willing to leave I’m still searching, yeah Still searching for a reprieve I may be broken, may be in tatters But I’m still hanging on With all that matters Can you feel me, can you feel me now No I’m not ready, not ready to split No I’m not willing, not will willing to quit I know you don’t see me, I know you don’t care But I need you to lift me lift me from my despair I’m not able, I’m not able to give in But it’s not like you’re asking Where have I been I may be fucked up I may be nuts But I ain’t done yet I can feel it in my guts Can you see me, can you see me now

Wonderland 07:59
lyrics

Skies of fleece Trees burn clear All is calm in wonderland Windowsill Wind-blown spores All’s adrift here in wonderland Snakeskin boots Shot with blood All is mad here in wonderland In wonderland Day for night Night for day Time means naught Here in wonderland Love and hate Hate and love Flakes of life Here in wonderland In wonderland Arms of wheat Fields of stars All is dust here in wonderland Wagon wheels Oxen yokes All is wired here in wonderland Sacred stones Wind-blown kiss All is truth here in wonderland

Color Me Out 04:28
lyrics
buy track
Together as one So why are we fightin’ Pull down your walls And let some light in Together as one So why aren’t you tryin’ Of all the things you gave to me I saw the light and now I see You will not color me Color me out You will not color me Color me out There’s a whole wide world There’s a whole wide world to see Together as one That’s what you told me Tear up your floors And put your feet down Together as one So why are we hurtin’ Don’t want the path you laid for me I saw the light and now I see Together as one So why are we busted Reach out your arms And pull me in Together as one So why I can’t I touch you There’s a whole world to see Together as one that’s what you told me

Immune 04:36
lyrics

I am immune I am perfection I can’t be matched Nothing can hurt me I can’t be scratched I am above you And you are down there You are the scum You can’t breathe my air I am flawless Look good in a suit I hold the rip chord Of your parachute You hafta love me You got no choice I stand at the summit Hear my voice

Tamble Ramble 04:46
lyrics
buy track
There’s blood in the water Roaches in the basement Ashes in the coffee Abatement in the home They’re selling independence Monster in the White House Acid indigestion Mortgage on my life You got your tamble ramble Down the road I go Move There’s trash on the sidewalk Highways in the back yard Police on the corner Mortgage on the car They’re selling independence Blight in the White House Acid indigestion Mortgage on my life

Over Yonder 06:36
lyrics
buy track
I am clean And I am clear I am ready To disappear I look out the window The sun is a-risin’ The suitcase packed My spirit is galvanizing I am ready to go Way over yonder That's where I'm bound Way over yonder That's where I'm found Way over yonder That's where I'll be Way over yonder Out beyond the sea I feel fresh Fresh as newborn babe Got my sights set Got my astrolabe I hear a choir Just around the bend “Come unto us And your soul will ascend” I am ready to go I am happy I feel elation The nightmare is over I’ve reached salvation

about

With every beat of my heart
I could hear the sound of a distant drummer
In the depths of winter I found in me
An invincible summer
