OUT 9/11 BIRTHDAY SONG LYRICS Hey Em! It’s our Birthday Coming up Lola, Barb and Vera, Too Wer’e the 9/11 Birthday crew But every Year We played second fiddle To a tangled hard riddle bah bah bah bah bah bah bah dah dah dah But when asked We had to answer Get some sympathy Some side-eye too Here’s looking at You!!!!! 10am on my birthday (9/11 2001) Off work Slept in Mok planned A nice day for me But didn’t happen Something else did Revenge calls Had to be heeded New rash path Peace in our past In our past Sun gone 20 laps We put our loving Hearts on world maps And Lord free us From any days Like that again Remembering Is like a Heartache The Pain The Sad, The bittersweet Hope you landed On your feet No matter No matter It’s fine We still remember And now it’s our birthday time Sweet dears We’ll make it victory No Tears Our Birthday time Our Birthday time Yes, It’s our Birthday time

Silly Heart 03:10
SILLY HEART LYRICS Keep a Silly Heart Like a magic card Pulled out of a sleeve The World’s in a spinning weave Hard times have a knack Get that Silly heart back Hard times, hard times have a knack Get that Silly heart back I’m thinking of a scene We really laughed, We almost peed Through the surf and the trees Windy Streets Old and pizza joints Silly hearts winning points Playing and Walking With your honey Put that silly heart on your money! Even when you feel So differently sometimes How you feel so differently Remember that night? Remember that day? Sure we fight We keep it at bay. Feel the bumps in the road. When the magic happens So Lazzie Faire Swift like moving air I didn’t say it was fair Playing and Walking With your honey Fall gained ground so fast Don’t get too serious Keep a Silly Heart, Keep a Silly Heart Keep a Silly Heart

I’LL DISAPPEAR WITH YOU LYRICS If you think I’m just Another girlfriend No one really showed you How a girl can take a stand Your hourglass in hand Waiting for the plane to land She's mean She's blue and bland and you’re stuck, You’re stuck in quicksand. I’ll be there to help you I'll make no tears dear Perfectly clear here I’ll, I'll disappear with you Keep wishful in your head That you won’t, won't get used There’s nothing in her words, I’ll tell you the truth Her lips flap and attack If you coulda you shoulda, tossed her back Her tongue is flippin’ You keep on slippin Slippin sliding away I’ll be there to help you I'll make no tears dear Perfectly clear here I’ll, I'll disappear with you I'll disappear with you I'll make no tears dear Perfectly clear here I’ll, I'll disappear with you Do you like what you see babe, I know you do Because I showed you, showed you Sweetness through and through You will need my slap and tickle My Love won’t come on like a trickle You will need a steady hand Not another flakey scam I’ll be there to help you I'll make no tears dear Perfectly clear here I’ll, I'll disappear with I won’t leave you in thin air I’ll disappear with you I won’t leave you in thin air I’ll disappear, I'll Disappear with you With you With you, With You, With You, With You, With You, Yeah!

Blinders 03:23
BLINDERS LYRICS Blinders Blinders Smoke hanging Love is blue Blinders Earth shaking at the core singin’ shoo bee doo Stop the cold losses From cruel cult boss’ Oh oh oh, oh oh oh! Stop the cruel losses From cold cult bosses Oh oh oh, Oh oh oh! With Moments to survive. Blinders We can’t keep buying into their lies. Keep eyes forward not me to blame Keep you eyes movin’ such a shame Blinders not to go insane. Blinders electronic picnics to keep us framed BRIDGE Feeling less than human March, keep time Grieving, hugging Fears drowning souls Damning us cold Blinders If you have a friend hold on to them tight Blinders Gotta get through this ugly night Blinders, Blinders, Blinders, Blinders......

SONG FOR TRACY LYRICS Because ultimately man I think the message that I have to me music is the chronicle of the human experience. It really is, to me because you can pick a song from any time and kind of tell what the atmosphere was. By listening to different parts you can get a total picture of what was going on in society. I mean you can have really good nights but there’s just some nights where everything clicks. You know and those nights are memorable, there’s no feeling like that in the world.

MISSING BROTHER LYRICS This one’s for Tracy I am alone with my thoughts About a dear friend of mine I am at war with these thoughts I did not know what he was going through I am alone with my thoughts I wish he would have spoken to me Missing Brother Missing Brother Missing Brother uh uh uh uh Storming in my head and heart Such a beautiful mind where do I start? I think he was a sage, a poet at heart but sometimes disappointed Missing Brother Missing Brother Missing Brother I’m not alone with these thoughts that come Few have honor and then some Could I get peace with these thoughts? Maybe not I’m going to keep them forever I am alone with my thoughts About a dear friend of mine I am at war with these thoughts I did not know what he was going through I am alone with these thoughts I wish I coulda talked him Talked him down Missing Brother Missing Brother Missing Brother Bridge: We knew a galaxy traveler, Wise and dandier than most Smiling into our Consciousness Consciousness Consciousness Missing Brother Missing Brother Missing Brother

Branches 04:26
BRANCHES LYRICS Why do I Hide in my moods? Locks my doubts in, doubt in What freight do we carry? Helpless to help myself, I Need some peace I am falling through the Branches I,I I am Reaching for the Branches Memories of all this hurt Memories, bitter Memories just won’t work I Need to fix within We break under the shame I am falling through the Branches I,I I am Reaching for the Branches Handling it wrong So I make this song It’s never ending Helpless to help myself We break under the shame I am falling through the branches I, I am reaching for the branches I wish I could help myself, help myself I am falling through the branches Help myself, help myself but I’m too proud to beg, to proud to beg I am reaching for the branches Still falling through the branches But it gets me nowhere I am reaching for the branches I am falling through the branches But it gets me nowhere But it gets me nowhere Falling through the branches I am reaching for the branches

NO AIR CONDITIONING You're like a car With no air conditioning Roll down the windows? That’s all you got? I’m helpless Here, lost the plot You're like a car With no air conditioning Roll down the windows? That’s all you got? I’m helpless Here, lost the plot I gotta deep twitching feel In this angstmobile Won’t bring us far Let me off in the shade I Need some up close I'm sick of going Mile to mile With you With promises That bare no fruit I’m suffocating You keep driving up the cost I’m lost You keep driving up the cost I'm sweating You keep driving up the cost I'm sweating You keep driving up the cost No Air Conditioning For you!

Surface 03:46
SURFACE LYRICS I misunderstood If you say you love me Maybe you shouldn’t You might think you know You know somebody else Maybe you also see Something I don’t want to be Doubt comes on so quick Pushing down tears Can’t open the flood gates Open the floodgates Open the floodgates! I sigh in the dark In a car or maybe worse Underpass, Thunder past Some bad memories Starlight needed in my hands Joy, and kids who understand Boy’s got your nose, His wondered face in tow I’m just a maze of rows Cry like a joke From the haze and the smoke

THE MUCK OF OUR LIVES LYRICS Gambling through the muck of our lives Just us to see Betting our broken chips Can we all agree? We defend our reality Deceptions Indiscretions Wake up forever and store Our words are gold keys Possibilities Painful lessons of war Painful lessons of war They want to shut you up Keep truth at bay Do what they do Say what they say Breaking bread Got sick Layer lies brick thick Make bad times tick So no one can rest No one can rest Fortunes made can fall Fortunes made can fall Fortunes made can fall Fall Fall Fall Traveling through the muck of our lives Who cares to see Betting on broken maps We couldn’t read We defend our reality Sanctimonious reflections Jealousy forever and more Grab the cold keys Pattern causalities Painful lessons reward Painful lessons reward Fortunes made can fall Fortunes made can fall Fortunes made can fall Fall fall fall The muck of our lives
