Constellationfinally deep slumber, now you may dream forever I'll hang the scarf, put away the cape queit dogs guard the neighborhood, young mothers bathe their babies does it always take events to make us notice? You float above in slow rotation, I can see your spirit dance, lighting up the sky, the constellation you would always neet demand, we only came when told to to pieces of us, make you feel whole? we'll remain 'till we stabilize, shiftin layers of love and death… so lucky that we had someone… who floats above in slow rotation, I can see your spirit dance, lighting up the sky, all the constellations
Two New Strings
amazing the sound of two new strings struck by lightning, resonate without rusting in the rain imagine the sight of two wild flowers, their long leafy vines, growin just the same … There's life in the yard again, a summerhouse with song, poets bring fresh verse, try to get along amazing the sound of two young birds allowed to sing, for lover collecting down a quiet path… Imagine the sight of two smiling faces with their eyes closed strollin', step by step without fear There's life in the yard again, a summerhouse with song, poets bring fresh verse, try to get along
from the Mad Action cd 2003
The air so thick smoke and stale breath, packed in tighter wall to wall, won't give you seat to no one after all you've earned it It's all mad action revenge attractive it's all mad action Soon a brawl spills out into the street, we'll here sirens whining, non-participants scramble to view It's all mad action latest attraction, It's all mad action makin bets on whos first to the floor, a civilized social past-time there's enough blood and money goin around, It's all mad action billed as high fashion, It's all mad action
Joy & Abandon
Reck less teen with long outstretched arm says "here, I got new proof!" hands me a document,please don't grow cold we're expectin a wide range of fools-If your content,as weekend guests,ya don't have to fall into habit, just give your heart and head some relief bear witness to joy and abandon! Odd and end games an array of old toys stocked with so many flavors, It aint encouraged to fill up your time,distractions have all, fallen out of favor- catapult lovers so far invisible, safe and sound upon landing while figures in motion circle the fire,dancing with joy and abandon how do we get there arrive in one piece, if your caught, do they come down hard? To find an oasis centered in a warzone, you might have to look towards the sky,follow a star- dead in our tracks, we gotta be closer faint echo heard in the canyon, while figures in motion ,circle the fire dancing with joy and abandon

Smile at Me
So what it aint sunshine perfect,at least we got wheels to roll,and a rear view dangling Christ,garanteed the hitch will hold -this road got a violent bounce,rattle makes it hard to hear,shoutin from the next seat over,could leave ringin in my ear-and I promised to listen to you patiently,every thing out in the open when you smile at me - off to a remote quiet,your idea & I agreed,if we get halfway round the globe,don't forget something you may need,what happens once in deep dark woods,cant always be so prepared, Im convinced there'd be tangles,webs in our face,twigs in our hair- that don't mean we wont come upon a clearing eventually -everything out in the open when you smile at me -so weighed down already lets settle,and sigh,I know you got secrets,so do I-we may lose our place in standing,oh the torments of ambition,shuffling a flimsy deck of cards no-one loses,no-one wins

From Further Sinkin
someone make the clockhands stop,bend or break them off,unplug that annoying tick-tock,keep the long lengthy pause,took me 6 or 7 drafts,round-about apology,overload of garbage,a two-man job if you can believe-an easy sweep the ground floor,a bitch to keep the attic clean-built on a soggy wet foundation,nothing prevents this place from further sinkin-always I acted the brave,stood as your armed guard,never spittin nothing sour,while betting you always played my trustin card,your buzzin high and happy times,few & far between,can I pull you up after knockin you down,on your boney pair of skinned knees-you always held suspicion,I slipped it in your drink,I only wanted you fuzzy-numb,to prevent your big heart from further sinkin-out of breath you offer rest on your mercy seat,stretched across your worn out couch,with my sockless dirty feet-wont be drownin out my singin this sorry-ass confessional hymn,your only real concern-not forgetting to forgive

Balloon Ride
crowd turned out,signs most effective,quite a mix of sizes shapes & colors you've collected,but they don't look so happy there eyes kinda desperate,hey,its been one of those years,the circus quit comin ages ago,Hollywood celebrities strictly no-show,it don't take much to make em go,throw in some booze & beer-every year they count down time first class ticket,to board that flight,I only wish they hold on tighter-balloon ride one lane road,some miles south,not a lot on ther minds,even less out theyre mouths,eager enough to unsaddle theyre plows,flatbed filled with gear-plenty room for takeoff,plenty space to land,youre a proud captain,crews of five if they stand,check for any splits in the bags of sand,in dizzy heights lose all fear-every year they count down time,first class tickets to board your flight,I only wished they held on tighter-balloon ride
