ELECTRIC 03:42
lyrics
buy track
I had a dream last night They were comin’ for me A heard of Killer Whales & Clowns, Magic bullets, Rippin’ Rounds I held my breath & bones Hid my eyes under stones Didn’t move a muscle Held my whispers and my groans I fear what I can’t see Then cold currents turn to Heat I can feel your Energy WHEN YOU’RE BY MY SIDE SNAKES & SHARKS DON’T BOTHER ME FEARLESS BY YOUR SIDE WE ARE ELECTRIC I looked up into the trees Saw a big Red balloon starin’ at me Followed it floatin’ in the breeze Glowing and gloating with such ease Dissipated into the Sun Saw you were a different one Darkness started its descent Dirty Witches wail in suspense I fear what I can’t see Close my eyes to find your Heat I can feel your Energy WHEN YOU’RE BY MY SIDE SNAKES & SHARKS DON’T BOTHER ME FEARLESS BY YOUR SIDE WE ARE ELECTRIC I can’t tell if it’s you are me A lost part or different entity Either way I’m addicted to you All other masses don’t matter too As long as we are one, life is true The sun is out, the skies are blue Promise me never to part I’ll give you my life, I’ll give you my Heart I fear what I can’t see When you’re close I feel your Heat Can you feel my Energy? WHEN YOU’RE BY MY SIDE SNAKES & SHARKS DON’T BOTHER ME FEARLESS BY YOUR SIDE WE ARE ELECTRIC

SPELLS 03:30
lyrics

She rolled all the way from Texas Straight up to Tennessee In the middle of November With her heart in her head And nothin’ on her mind Out to find a simple man HE CAST SPELLS THEY ALL WERE UNDER SPELLS THEY ALL WERE UNDER He was tall, white, and handsome Had a curl to his hair Fine fiddlin’ fingers Avante garde and full of flair Full of Grace and full of thunder A siren, Such a sin HE CAST SPELLS THEY ALL WERE UNDER SPELLS THEY ALL WERE UNDER They were all stark and starin’ As he swayed the air to movin’ She’d thought he’d see her there Now Her heart was ruined (‘Cause) She was just a dime a dozen A pebble in the pond Just another mother in the mob HE CAST SPELLS THEY ALL WERE UNDER SPELLS THEY ALL WERE UNDER She thought that she was special She liked the boy not the magician Not the Gallant or the Reverend Just the simple man With her common disposition She wanted to be his friend NOT JUST SOME GIRL CAUGHT UNDER So she rolled back to North East Texas Straight down from Tennessee Sold her soul to the devil Sewed on airs , Glued on graces Became a sorceress and a preacher An artist and a teacher SHE CAST SPELLS THEY ALL WERE UNDER SPELLS THAT HE FELL UNDER

Can you hear that? Can you hear it? Hear that hummm Hear that drummm Hear that? Engine Revving And Ready to ride​ Pumping, Purring, Crying, She’s blowing out steam My sexy dream maker I make her Mean Green Machine ------------------------------- She’s gonna Te- Te –uh-uh- ake us To Highway Milky Way Milky Way will wrap us up With warmth and cookies, and pillows. Just us two And all the few Mellow fellows Who live off love, and music, and wine Rosy glasses and signs So, Are you Ready? Ready to ride Take my hand Leave your taxes behind Just us two Don’t look behind, Just look ahead She’s Pumping, Purring, Crying, She’s blowing out steam My sexy dream maker I make her Mean Green Machine ------------------------------- She’s gonna Te- Te –uh-uh- ake us To Highway Milky Way

BLEED 02:39
lyrics

I wish I were a robot A cold, hard, machine I wish I had no feelings Cause you’re sooo mean 'Cause I Bleed And I see What you’re doing to me -------------------- And it’s hard To stop your shards From Ripping up my Heart I wish I weren’t a scarecrow And had a Brain I wish I weren’t so stupid Listening to your lie refrain ‘Cause I Bleed And I see What you’re doing to me -------------------- And it’s hard To stop your shards From Ripping up my Heart ‘Cause I give, give, give And you take, take, take But you spit out all I gave And just because You didn’t like the taste Doesn’t mean I didn’t serve my all I wish I were a vulture And could fly away I’d eat up my dead pieces You spit out each day Cause I Bleed And I see What you’re doing to me ---------------------- And it’s hard To stop your shards From Ripping up my Heart I wish I weren’t a scarecrow I wish I were a robot I wish I were a vulture I wish you weren’t so mean

N-LUV WITH NUTHIN' 04:21
lyrics
buy track
Nuthin’ isn’t somethin’ you can hold in your hand. You can’t buy it or sell it, taste it or smell it. Nuthin’ comes from your heart to your mind. Sometimes it helps you see; Sometimes it makes you blind. Nuthin’ is Faith, nuthin’ is Hope, Nuthin’ is Dreams, Nuthin’ as it seems. Therefore: I’m in love with Nuthin’ Nuthin’ means all to me It’s the only real Somethin’ To have and to hold, You see? ------------------ On a dreary day, in time Full of bullshit, stuff, and Lies Nuthin’ keeps me warm at night Nuthin is the only Truth in sight I wished upon a shooting star I wish I may, I wish I might I wished upon a Real Boy Full of dirt, glitter, truth, & spice --------------------- And I’d love All his parts, Black, White, Pink, Yellow, Blue Because I know they belonged to him He’d belonged to me, We’d be 1, and 2 Some say I’m a Dreamer; I know I’m not the only one These days you don’t know where they Grow Must be orbitin’ around the Sun -------------------- In Plastic Bags and Glass jars I’m alone with a Team of Frauds My fake friends in Coded Cans Hashtags and Avatars Sometimes I get the Urge & Will to Suck, Smoke, & Blow Life’s Marrow I know such a Splurge cuts Immortality So no Reds, Eggs, Pipes, or Pops for me --------------------------- So I Breath the Stale Air instead Drink my milk for Strong Bones Is a longer Life Lease Pleasing If your Heart Stopped, you’re Dead, But Breathing?

I hate Wide Rivers I hate Deep Seas I hate Cold Oceans , but with you, I’d jump in the Water Gladly I’d Wade in the Water with you I use my Hands I use my Fingers I use my Toes , the Lord knows, I’d let you use them too. I’d give a Hand to you WELL, A HOUSE IS NOT A HOME, IF LET EMPTY & ALONE STAY HERE IF YOU LIKE, STAY HERE DAY AND NIGHT IT MAY BE OLD & DUSTY, BUT IT’LL BE WARM & COMFY FOR YOU That’s True I’m Tired & Weary I’m Old & Spent I’m Weak & Blue , but I’d build a Mountain for you. If you asked me to I have a Heart I have a Body I have a Mind , Be Kind, ‘Cause I’m sharing myself with you I’m trusting you

When the concretes cold And the sun stands still I like to crawl up into the corner of my mind Find a warm blanket And bide the time With my Legendary Lover He loves me so My Legendary Lover He loves me right He gives me hugs and kisses Every day and All night If I open my eyes & you are there But I am blind Please Punch me Pluck me from my clouds Tell me that you love me & will always be mine I’ll be your Legendary Lover And love you so Your Legendary Lover Who loves you right I’ll give you hugs and kisses Every day and All night.

TWO HOUSES 03:08

I’m takin’ back my two houses One on Cherry Hill The other Cobble Stone Strangers lived there far too long Along the banks of the Calcasieu Left vacant and alone I’m takin’ back my two houses One house sinkin’ The other a mausoleum Ashamed to face my own Demons Fled the scene of the crime With fear and treason Hate & Fear held me back too long Now I’m taking the reigns Riding love full force Diggin’ up these dirty graves penetrating these castrated kin I used to know way back when I’m takin’ back my two houses One on Cherry hill The other Cobble stone I’m not stopping there Gonna drive my roots down deep And climb to the top of my own mountain Breathe my own air, Live in myself Face the world solid & true

SHE MOVES ME 03:46
lyrics

I openly admit I have a secret crush She’s so beautiful And magical to touch She moves me I’ve known her since I was just a babe She’s grown with me Even up to this very day Been with me through thick and thin When I’m glad When I’m sad When I pray When I sin She moves me And when she’s inside me She moves through me I hear her And she tells me what to do She rocks me She soothes me She shocks me Intox – icates me Blues me Woos me Drives me crazy --------------------- SHE MOVES ME SHE MOVES ME SHE MOVES ME SHE MOVES ME SHE’S MY SPECIAL LADY SHE MAKES ME SMILE WHEN SHE’S IN THE ROOM I LIKE THE WAY SHE MOVES ME IF YOU COULD HEAR HER YOU WOULD SEE ------------------------ She enters the room With the boys in the band First with plucks and beats Then hums, strums, blows, & squeaks She’s held steady with their Hands, tongues, and beaks She moves the room As they play her sermon So take a seat Or get on your feet Listen as she preaches She’ll tell you in ways Every night And all days Spreading clarity and truth Dreams and daze She’s a profit with a gamut A devil in disguise A ghost in your casket Heaven in your eyes Hell for your thunder She rides, she rides, she rides
