Lo and behold There it is It's coming through to me Fills me up Gives me strength It's what I want to be I can see it I can feel it This beautiful thing It's in my heart It's in my hands This beautiful thing Lo and behold There it is I can feel it in my soul Makes me high Makes me laugh Makes me feel whole Lo and behold There it is Came in right on time Turns me on Stirs me up Like an enzyme

Gaslight 04:56
lyrics
buy track
You put your faith in me That was your first mistake Don't trust no one That should your credo Listen to your brain Not your horny libido I will screw you like a tool Believe in me and you are a fool Gaslight You heard what you want to hear Gaslight I am your worst fear Gaslight I am messing with your brain Gaslight 'Bout to drive you to insane You put your trust me That was your second mistake You think you know me But what do you know I got style and I emit a certain glow But I am not what you think Beware of my hoodwink What I say can be taken any which way It all depends on how you see it I've got my story and I'm sticking to it And if you don't like it so be it You put your hopes in me That was your third mistake I can make it see seem Like I really truly care But what I really do is laissez-faire Should have known it all along There is no right, there is no wrong

Who's Lying Now? 05:22
lyrics
buy track
I built this monument to you So byzantine and so tall Lit it up like a Christmas tree But it meant nothing to you at all You don't move me you said But you never told me why Maybe you don't know yourself You can't identify Who's lying now Who's lying now I spent my days writing songs And I spent my nights going at it too I wrote them all as a loving tribute But they meant nothing to you Who's lying Who's lying now It ain't me babe It's ain't me I put myself all out there on the line What in the world did I expect in return Not some cold, cold indifference So cold I could feel the burn

Weeds 04:17
lyrics
buy track
A garden needs water to grow And tender loving care Or it’ll be a plot of land stripped bare Mother Earth can't go it alone It needs someone to cherish Otherwise it will wither and perish Till this land and spread your seeds If you don’t it’ll wind up weeds Drill though the soil like centipedes If you don’t it’ll wind up weeds Give your garden your love Give it your attention And it’ll give back beyond comprehension Take some time from your day Make it your mission Make it a special act of volition Bring along a hoe And bring along a rake And bring a little something for your backache If you put in the time Your land will be restored And in the end you will reap a reward

Insincere 03:51
lyrics

Whatever I'm saying However I'm saying it You gotta believe me You gotta believe me You know that I mean it Mean it with all my heart You gotta believe me, believe you me Let go of your doubt Let go of your fear I am not insincere No need to question It's quite clear Am I not insincere You say you been burned You say you been hurt so bad You gotta believe me Yeah you gotta believe me You say you been fleeced You say you been robbed You gotta believe me, believe you me I'll tell you the truth I won't ever lie I'm not a lying kind of guy Come over here Come take my hand You gotta believe me Yeah you gotta believe me I'll lead you to eden Lead you to paradise You gotta believe me, believe you me

Talk the Talk 04:30
lyrics
buy track
You can say you’re optimistic But oh God, what a world What a heartbreaking, terrifying freak show You can say that it's all good But you’re not sure No you don’t know, you don't know The life you’re living is coming to an end And that is something you can't transcend You say you gotta love your friends With whom you share your truth Yeah you sure know how to talk the talk You say it like you mean it Serious as a heart attack But in the end you don’t walk the walk You don’t walk the walk You say that by 70 the whole mess of our lives Is that we are not all nuts on the same day It's a little bit of this and little bit of that No black and white just shades of gray You can feel trapped like a bee in a Mason jar Or you can fly away and say au revoir You can say that when we’re gone we are gone We are gone for good You can look on back on those good old days But there ain’t nothing left No nothing of the neighborhood Never be blasé or take your shit for granted This crazy old world on which we are planted

Lost Forever 04:40
lyrics

What am I gonna What am I gonna What am I gonna do I am lost forever Lost forever in you No way, no way no way outta here Wherever I go, wherever I am You’re always near What am I gonna do What am I gonna do Push myself Push myself away But what am I pushing against I can’t say Where am I gonna Where am I gonna Where am I gonna go I am lost Lost forever in the undertow No light shines No light shines down I am blacked out, blacked out In this ghostly town

Quid Pro Quo 04:37
lyrics
buy track
We're not so different You and I That’s what I said That's what you wanted to hear But what I meant was We are all the same Am I loud and clear Now you get how it feels to hurt As if you did not already know Here is a lesson I am teaching you A little quid pro quo We're not so different You and I That’s what I said Much to my regret Let us not forget Just who is the master And who is the pet I cannot give you what you want But I will give you what you need I will cut you up into a million pieces And I will stand back and watch you bleed We're not so different You and I That’s what I said But now I take it all back We won’t be close And we never will That is the cold hard fact

Diaspora 04:35
lyrics
buy track
Once they were close as wings On the back of a fly They beat with a sympathy That they could not deny But time marched right along Changed the tune of their song And they spread out In a great diaspora And they fled out In a great diaspora They won't be coming back They won't be coming back Once they made a vow They would never divide They would always ensure The gap was never too wide But they couldn't stay true So much in life to do Once they swore to an oath They would never lose touch They meant what they said, they said And they meant it so much So where are they now Where is that vow

Follow Me 05:07

Follow me through the woods To our secret place Please just let me in I can't seem to wait Take me all the way I'll follow your every move Show me what it takes I've got nothing to lose

Feel This Way 04:20
lyrics
buy track
I feel this way for a lot of good reasons Didn’t come out of the blue A lot of shit happened along the way A lot of it did what a lot a shit do It broke me down and it tore me up It turned me into a crank But most of all when I think about it Mostly I have you to thank That I feel this way I feel this way ‘cause of all that’s happened All that whacked-out stuff The shit came down, down so hard And I couldn’t scream loud enough My body got broke and my heart got busted My legs yanked from under me I couldn’t right myself Do right myself in this strange reality This strange, strange reality I feel this way yeah I feel this way ‘Cause of all the scenes I seen So many lies and so much bullshit And I don’t what it any of it mean I’d like to break it down so I can understand And give my feelings a name But when I think about why I haven’t Mostly I have you to blame Why I feel this way

Still I Dream of It 07:28
lyrics
buy track
You are so far, far away Living in your Xanadu Way out there beyond sky What I wouldn’t give to be with you What good does it do me to pretend We can’t love each other in the end Still I dream of it Still I dream of it You are just up around the bend I have to believe it’s true I barrel on into the night Hoping you drop out of the blue What good does it do me to desire Bloodied as I am on love’s barbed wire Still I dream of it Still I dream of it
