Occupational uncertainty, originally a doctor I'd be
Hanging from the trees and eaves, stuck to the window screen
Another nosebleed followed by a sense of relief
Don't be too keen, there's plenty of room on the big screen
On the big screen
Ah the big stars
On the big screen
Ah the big stars
The lines they wrote, into the mirror I spoke, a lock upon the door
The public agrees I shall receive a hairbrush shaped award
Advertising for moisturizing cream, another kissing scene
If you can see it, you can achieve it, your dreams of the big screen
On the big screen
Ah the big stars
On the big screen
Ah the blue sky

In The Yard

Out the front door, down the steps I walked into the garden where I
Left my bike out in the pouring rain, I won't make that mistake again
When it rains it pours I'm told, I see it dripping from the hole
In the ceiling to the cup below, I should let the landlord know
The old dodge was left outfront to stay, the street only steps away
Oh how hard it must have been to know, you'd never see the open road
They come to me at night sometimes, they do not give me peace of mind
But if we should mistakes, let them all be safely made
At home, where there's no one around
At home, does a broken vase make a sound?

Gutter Master

Walking along with the rain pouring down from the gutter to my head
In the morning I’ll wake with the sun in my eyes, never see the rain again
It's only rain
It's only rain
It's only rain
It's only rain
Home alone it's weird I know from the world I'm thrown
Outside it rains on, all the people are gone like they knew it all along
It's only rain
It's only rain
It's only rain
It's only rain
Walking along with the rain pouring down to the gutter onto my head
In the morning I’ll wake with the sun in my eyes, never play this game again

So Slow

It took so many years to fill the space between my ears
It comes and goes, it's hard to let you know
It comes and it goes, it comes and it goes so slow

Equestrian Form

Ancestral light-bulb flickering on, the burden of thought sometimes it feels wrong
To cope with the pain we take whatever helps, I am myself more than anyone else
Happy-go-lucky don't come down on me, evolution let me be free
Man the animal a picture on the shelf, I am myself more than anyone else

Blood Red LeBaron

The top was down on the blood red LeBaron
I knew that if I had em my sirens would be blarin'
Picked him up heading South out of town
To the desert where he thought he wouldn't be found
But my hands are steady on the wheel
I thought given time that things would be better
Eagerly awaitin' a package or a letter
Now I'm starin' at the blood red, two cars ahead
I should've been dead
But my hands are steady on the wheel
The sun was high in the sky when he caught my eye
In his mirror, I couldn't've been clearer
He indicated right, we pulled over to the shoulder
I stepped out with my hand on my hip, I've been known to be quick
But he said "I'm not your man", he looked past me at the shape of town and he said,
"I left the devil in the city"

Everybody deserves to feel safe in their own home
Everybody deserves to be alone
Everybody should feel fine in the light
Feel safe when you're walking around at night
I'm gonna count some sheep
And I'm gonna stay awake
So I can fall asleep, but I won't anyway
I wanna come and go
I wanna do it on my own
I'm gonna count some sheep
And I'm gonna stay awake
So I can fall asleep, but I won't anyway

Sometimes I wonder why I even try
I could do it in my dreams and you'd still cry
I find that if I really take my time
I could do it in my dreams and you'd still cry
Ask me 'bout my life all the time
I could do it in my dreams and you'd still cry
The path I'm on I'm tellin' you it's fine
I could do it in my dreams and you'd still cry

Hotel

Take your head, lie endlessly on this hotel bed
Open your eyes, tapestry of unfurling rhyme
I’ve said no lies
A hotel is a loosely defined space, water on my face

Retirement
02:24

Has time well spent filled your cup to the brim?
What would you give to feel young again?
What percentage is your favourite drink?
How many have you had, how much do I bring?
Sometimes I feel I haven't learned a thing
What's the age when life begins?
What's the worst job you've ever had?
Does the money buy all those years back?
You haven't lost your edge
And it's not over yet
You're sticking to the plan
You're retired, you've just been broken in
I have to ask, how long did it take to grow your mustache?
And where do I go to cast my vote?
Did the carpool leave, did I miss my boat?
Where do you keep your RV when it's cold?
Do things look different when you're old?
Should I settle down or travel first?
What's my stamp collection worth?
You haven't lost your hair
And it's not over yet
You're sticking to the plan
You're retired, you've just been born again

Take Me Along

Tell me the things I wanna hear but I don’t understand
I know that if you go I’ll be as lonesome as the road
Hold me closer one more time, baby please don’t go
Everyone can do as they please
Time’s a given I’ve takin’ mine
Does anybody else feel how I do?
I don’t wanna stay away from you
And when you go won’t you take me along?
And when you go won’t you take me along?
And when you go won’t you take me along?
And if you go won’t you take me along?
