At the Gazebo

Oh, I miss so many things about those days
The pick up lines and how the patience pays
There's so many things about those days
The open mics and the rope swing craze
There's so many things about those days
The pick up lines and how the patience pays
There's so many things about those days
The open mics and the rope swing craze
I wanna meet at the gazebo like we used to
I wanna see it just one more time
I wanna lay on the sleeping bag hand me down
I wanna ride the gyro one more time
I wanna listen to a record like a soundtrack
I wanna hear it just one more time
Or play some pool with a head full of Hendrix
When every night became the very first time
Oh, I miss so many things about those days
The pick up lines and how the patience pays
There's so many things about those days
The open mics and the rope swing craze
There's so many things about those days
The pick up lines and how the patience pays
There's so many things about those days
The open mics and the rope swing craze
I wanna meet at the gazebo like we used to
I wanna see it just one more time
I wanna lay on the sleeping bag hand me down
I wanna ride the gyro one more time
I wanna listen to a record like a soundtrack
I wanna hear it just one more time
Calling out chords with my friend Peter Kitts
When every night became the very first time
(chorus)
(solo)
When the world spun around and around
And the world spun around and around
And the world spun around and around
And the world spun around and around
And the world spun around and around
And the world spun around and around
And the world spun around and around
And around (3x)

In Vain
03:29
|

Mock the hour of my assertions unaware of me
Off the side drapes a torn web
Long it's been in doubted versions
How unfair to me
I've found a way to kick the arrows
This is a fear that you can't take back dear
This is a fear that you can't take back
And I'm afraid that the pain's in vain dear
I'm afraid that you can't look back
No, don't tear us apart, don't tear us apart
Don't tear us apart, don't tear us apart
Mock the hour of my assertions how unfair to me
Off the side drapes a torn web
Long it's been in doubted hours
Unaware of me
I've found a way to kick the arrows
This is a fear that you can't take back dear
This is a fear that you can't take back
And I'm afraid that the pain's in vain dear
I'm afraid that you can't look back
No, don't tear us apart, don't tear us apart
Don't tear us apart, don't tear us apart
(break)
This is a fear that you can't take back dear
This is a fear that you can't take back
And I'm afraid that the pain's in vain dear
I'm afraid that you can't look back
No, don't tear us apart, don't tear us apart
Don't tear us apart, don't tear us apart (2x)

To make a man real you gotta deal with the front rib
To make a man real you gotta deal with the back rib
To make a man real you gotta deal with the front rib
To make a man real, make a man real, make a man,
Make a man real, make a man real good
Why do we have to live in a snow globe full of ashes
(Why would you even try)
Why do we have to live in a snow globe full of ashes
(It's easy to just arise)
To make a man real you gotta deal with the front rib
To make a man deal you gotta deal with the back rib
To make a man steal you gotta peel 'em with the right sh?
To make a man feel, make a man feel, make a man,
Make a man feel, make a man feel small (so small)
Why do we have to live in a snow globe full of ashes
(Why would you even try)
Why do we have to live in a snow globe full of ashes
(It's easy to just arise)
Snow globe full of ashes
It's easy to just arise
Snow globe full of ashes
It's easy to just arise
Snow globe full of ashes
Arise

Nobody
03:58

Somebody, somebody told me
Nobody, nobody knows who to believe
Somebody, somebody showed me
Nobody, nobody's guilty
As far as I could see,
Nobody, nobody, nobody's guilty
As far as I could see
Nobody, nobody, nobody's guilty
Somebody, somebody showed me
Nobody, nobody knows who to believe
Somebody, somebody told me
Nobody, nobody's guilty
As far as I could see, nobody's guilty
As far as I could see, nobody's guilty
(solo)
(break)
As far as I could see,
Nobody, nobody, nobody's guilty
As far as I could see
Nobody, nobody, nobody's guilty
Except you (4x)
Except you (4x)

Light Up
03:45
|

I saw it again in my dreams, it's always on my mind
I'm caught in the thread of a dream, that drags from time to time
I saw it again in my dreams, it's always on my mind
I'm caught in the thread of a dream, that drags on
And I light up (I'll light up when, you light up)
And I light up (I'll light up when, you light up)
And I light up (I'll light up when, you light up)
And I light up (I'll light up when, you light up)
Forgot to forget to remind myself about the gash
Before I could think I began to pick apart the part the past
Forgot to forget to remind myself about the gash
Before I could think I began to pick up
And I light up (I'll light up when, you light up)
And I light up (I'll light up when, you light up)
And I light up (I'll light up when, you light up)
And I light up (I'll light up when, you light up)
Maybe you're mine, maybe you're mine
Maybe you're mine, maybe you're mine
(solo)
I'll light up when, you light up
I'll light up when, you light up
I'll light up when, you light up
I'll light up when, you light up
And I light up (I'll light up when, you light up)
Maybe you're mine
And I light up (I'll light up when, you light up)
Maybe you're mine
And I light up (I'll light up when, you light up)
Maybe you're mine
And I light up (I'll light up when, you light up)
Maybe you're mine

9th Song

(Hey!)
I met an imbicile, and it's wonderful
No one needs to know, that I love it so
Hand me that spork, hand me that spork
Feeling comfortable, it's unavoidable
No one seems to know, we're all about the show
Hand me that spork, hand me that spork
Hand me that spork, hand me that spork
(break)
Imbicile, imbicile
Imbicile, imbicile
(Hand me that spork, hand me that spork)
Imbicile, imbicile
(Hand me that spork, hand me that spork)
Imbicile, imbicile
(Hand me that spork, hand me that spork)
Imbicile, imbicile
(Hand me that spork, hand me that spork)
Imbicile, imbicile
Imbicile, imbicile (out)

Life of Kegan Leonard
00:57
|
|||
I met Kegan Leonard, at the top of his game
He must've had a few, before the evening rang
We talked for quite awhile, until the morning's frame
I found him in a chair, apparently dead from a bottle's reign
This happened down in Fairfax about one year this June
Watch out for Kegan Leonard, he might creep up on a chair near you
He might creep up on a chair near you
He might creep up on a chair near you

Evergreen
03:20
|
|||
Just keep up the good work, put my words in order
Imperfection is perfect, after autumn canter
Just keep up with the girth, wear my mindless borders
Her confection alerts in, avionic banter
Know what you are (hang up the phone) (4x)
Just keep up the good work, put my words in order
Imperfection is perfect, after autumn canter
Know what you are (you're an evergreen)
Know what you are (you were never green)...
You're an evergreen, you were never green...
(I. Margolycz)

Po River
02:45
|

Po river, long run
I thought you caught one
Fell under, no sun
You're in too deep
Zebraquarius, zebraquarius
Po river, long gone
I thought I saw one
Safe shelter, warm hum
Dropped in a tree
Zebraquarius, zebraquarius
Zebraquarius, zebraquarius
(break)
I thought I saw one, I thought I saw one
I thought I saw one, I thought I saw one
I thought I saw one

So Close
02:45
|
|||
Told you I would write a song, dear
Now it's done and it is so clear
I am haunted by an unknown ghost
I always seem to fall when I get so close
So I hold you close, so close and near
And I hold you close, so close and dear
Told you I would write a song, dear
Now it's done and it is so clear
I am haunted by an unknown ghost
Everywhere I go from coast to coast
So I hold you close, so close and near
And I hold you close, so close and dear
If ever in time we part worlds
We'll never have far to go girl
If ever in time we part worlds
We'll never have far to go...
(solo/break)
Hold you close, so close and near
(Ooh ooh/Wha ah)
And I hold you close, so close and dear
(Ooh ooh/Wha ah)
