DOUBLING TIME
(Gimme the ozone
Gimme the ozone)
Signal to noise
(Gimme the poses
In the ozone time)
Think: girls and boys
(Trickle down to the merits
Of the nowhere climb)
Like what you see
(When the body says no
The body never go back)
Which one is me?
And now…
(Take a round 1
Circle in the sound son
Bring about a new time frame
An eagle eye won)
We can’t be right
(Round 2
Give a shout out
Even in the brown out
Of everything you
Never wanted to be about
It’s about done)
Groomsman the bridesmaid
Color me Hit Parade
Partners in the air raid
Dating the Medicaid
I won’t say what you want me to say
I remember like it was yesterday
I don’t need a visa to talk to you
I don’t need your permission
I miss mystery
Deep inside of me
Where the signal flows
The me no one knows
I can be the one-man show
As every bathroom’s taking votes
The doubling time that passes go
I won’t see the light
In this destiny
I won’t even out
Even if it kills me
I will miss the guiding light
Of hope and minor oversight
I hope you like your world
I knew before
Love Picasso
I knew before
Before I knew you
(Gimme the ozone
Gimme the ozone)
I don’t need you
(Gimme the poses
In the ozone time)
To tell me what’s right
(Trickle down to the merits
Of the nowhere climb)
I knew before
(When the body says no
The body never go back)
Before you were born
And now…
(Take a round 1
Circle in the sound son
Bring about a new time frame
An eagle eye won)
Some call this true
(Round 2
Give a shout out
Even in the brown out
Of everything you
Never wanted to be about
It’s about done)

LEFT ALONE
Baby got a market in the middle
Better to be on top
Maybe you stand and deliver
Ladle in the Be Bop
Waiting for the slow dog to Brooklyn
Maybe takes a couple of days
Meeting her is feeling like a shaman
Catching her mysterious ways
Single go to marriage in the morning
Single the best of me
I don’t wanna be left alone
Unless it’s alone with me
He don’t wanna be left alone
Unless it’s alone with he
Better try the slipper Cinderella
Never the size you think
Mickie was an excellent fella
With a garter and a smile and a wink
People are the funniest reason
When they get together or not
Walking through the park every season
Marking the time they got
Hoping hoping
Heaven heaven
Hoping hoping
Single go to marriage in the morning
Never for a moment to breathe
People are the people that you’re pouring
Make believe what you believe
Cathedrals were made to be broken
And broken’s where I’m aiming to be
I don’t wanna be left alone
Unless it’s alone with me
He don’t wanna be left alone
Unless it’s alone with he
Hoping hoping
Heaven heaven
Hoping hoping
Cathedrals were made to be broken
And broken’s where I’m aiming to be
I don’t wanna be left alone
Unless it’s alone with me
He don’t wanna be left alone
Unless it’s alone with me

RUN FOR HER LIFE
A Seagrams split
All day every day
Black and tan sunset
Stop that guitar of regret
Plymouth be it let
And never forget
The last time you met
When you take the Ildiko
When you take the Ildiko
When you take the Ildiko
She don’t carry cash
And carry keep off
Natures path
And baby’s happy
Happy with that
And sunny stains the bed
And the curtains bled
What the Bible said
The Bible said
She don’t say why
She don’t sleep twice
I can carry the cash
And the Vice
I am buried
In the Marais
In the rubble
Of day to day
Oh oh oh oh
She’s the one
Oh oh oh oh
She’s the one
What I care to see
Keeps me company
Black and tan sunset
Tudor House from Idaho
The you and me
I know
I can be the one
She can be the be
On the road to oblivion
Where everything I see
Reminds me of you
Reminds me
Take the shot
Take the shot
To have not had not
The worlds on fire
The wonder for hire
