Radio
Was playing through a window
As you watch the world go round, down
It never made a sound
In action
A chemical reaction
A sense of satisfaction
And now we got to win this war
If we find the time
We might remind ourselves
If we find ourselves
Driving in disguise
As I stood on the precipice
Staring back in time
She sang to me
Amigo
Just blow it out the window
Did you see your world blow up?
Now go and make a sound
If we find the time
We might remind ourselves
If we find ourselves
Standing in the sun
As I read from the syllabus
And began to expand my mind
She sang to me

Thinking of Penelope

Penelope relatively seems well
But I don't mean to dwell
On the day
So bourgeoisie
As she sips her iced tea
But I don't mean to be so cliche
But I really want to be with you
On impromptu
Walks 'round the blocks of Murray
Thinking of Penelope
Penelope positively seems fine
Got moments of screen time
At the school
In university she studies economy
But by now she must think
I'm some fool
But I'd really like to get to know her
See her glow
She looks like this girl in my dreams
Thinking of Penelope

Speak Easy

On the sidewalks
Of the city
I slipped and fell
And felt a swell
Of a blood rush to my head
And you thought that I was dead
In the silence
As the sirens
Flash their lights
Like neon signs
In a speak easy saloon
Man I hope they get there soon
Didn't you know?
If the weekend never ended
We'd have nowhere else to go
I saw those photographs you took
Of the view from up above
You'd never show
On the sidewalks
Of the city
You showed to me
A factory
Where the music all got made
A momentary masquerade
You're a back to back surprise attack
You're a running back's asthma attack
You were an absent attendee
A fucking mid=day mystery
Like Cleopatra
Of the suburbs
The birds will chirp
As he usurps
All that was left behind for you
All that you were born into
And you asked me
"What would you do if it happened to you"
I said "I've never been a rich man
I've always been a sports fan
I've never owned nothing
But I've always done what I can"
"So what went wrong?"
I went looking for the answers
But more questions came along
And when I finally thought I knew
I had this great and grand breakthrough
I'll never know

Julia
All you ever wanted was
A memory to share
A family to care for you
Know these words are true
I never met anyone quite like you
Though I know that you won't even care
Julia
Did you ever realize?
Those moments that you cried
He never looked you in the eye
Know these words are true
I never met anyone quite like you
Though I know that you won't even care
When you're around I find more inspiration
You're like a light that shines from up above
With you I seem to find more motivation
And when I close my eyes at night
You're the only one I'm thinking of
Julia
What more could I ask for?
You got flowers in your hair
And this air of laissez faire (about you)
I've known it all along
So I put it in a song
Though I know that you won't even care
You fill my mind with so much fascination
You always light my life with all your love
It makes no sense it defies explanation
You illuminate my sky at night
Brighter than all of the stars above

Spooky Action

Basement pavement
Where songs were sung
Capos on combos
And bongo drums
Mistakes, heartaches
How the west was won
Sounds of soft and sweet
Acoustic strums
We'd see school kids smoking
Blunts by the boulevard
We would meet on Ophelia Street
I was 20, too
With nothing else to do
Like tried and true
Deja vu
Just me and you
Like Deja vu
Phony pony
All the songs are sung
Phoned home on my own
I'm going
(Home)
