I'm gonna move to California Pack my bags and get away Escape from life's dusty tornado Got me spinning day by day When all your dreams are going nowhere Just let the sun take you away Stepped off the bus in San Pedro Hitched a ride to Echo Park Played guitar with all the beatnik boys Until the light became the dark When all your dreams are going nowhere Just let the sun take you away I'll set my roots in California I think I'm here to finally stay The echoes of all my heroes Whisper everywhere I lay When all my dreams are going nowhere I let the sun take me away

Blowing from the east floating like a breeze Breaking all the silences weaker in the knees Wills are snapping like a twig, hide under the bed Sentimental angels probably wind up dead Tornado coming, better watch ur step Tornado coming, go on and hide ur head Darker days are coming can u face the truth? Facts so twisted up in knots caving in the roof Debutantes and dictators jockey for the gold Sentimental losers long for days of old Twisted turning snarling surly Still not sure we got out early Some days I still hold out hope The truth exposed the light will show and Crucify this dope

She must have been the daughter of light And light alone Standing in the silver tide While stars fell like snow He'd gazed upon her face before Somewhere in a dream She was so bright, so much more Than dreams should ever be Illusion, myth, or fantasy Honest men will never say Few are ever meant to see The Lady of the Lake Upon his ears a siren's call Followed him for days Tornadoes on his cabin walls Blowing in her name Every night he'd crawl back And lay there on the beach The way you see a hungry cat Scrounge for food to eat (Chorus) Passers-by stood and stared Ridiculed and cursed Throwing stones in the air To see if he would burst The patient man waited sure It was her he'd seen Ruing what he'd been before Months grew out of weeks (Chorus) Gray-haired on the sandy grains He died beneath the moon Waiting for what never came As many often do Waves reached out with gentle hands Pulled him from the cold The old man finally got his dance With the Lady below ...

Better Than Erased Every day is just another one Cross it off the list cycle spins like tornados In linear gliss Conundrum hum drum beating With a heart on fire This twister’s got me twisted Come on take me higher Caught in a landslide Between sun and moon shine Sideways splintering, image mirroring Shoes untied Can’t run for falling Into the same old space Get me out Get me out of this place New lines on my face The brown is turning grey Know I’m lucky to feel this way Better than So much better than erased Come on So much better than erased

(Mother speaks) Oh my god why are you doing this to me I was afraid you boys were long gone now Yet I find you underneath this tree And one of you looks to be wounded (Wolf Child responds) Mother we just couldn’t stand it any more We had to try find our father But my brother got a thorn stuck in his feet And he couldn’t go any farther (Mother) It’s alright it’s alright I’m just glad you all are still alive I was ready to scold you when I found you But now I’m overcome with joy Let me help your brother pull that thorn out from his pad I understand you did this all for Dad. (Wolf Child) Wait what was that? Did you hear that Mother in the distance? The sounds of howling like none I’ve ever heard Like a war cry or someone has been wounded Could it be he’s still alive and needs our help? Could it be he needs our help? (Mother and Cubs) Let us follow the sound yes we should follow the sound to find out where it came from "We'll hit em like a Tornado" (Mother to her Cubs) I have a few surprises that I have never told you!!

And in the aftermath, the power down The lines, the limbs, the night gone green The vigil candle flares I went out searching for Apocalypse and kicks Everybody loves disaster flicks From the comfort of their chair They sent me through the maze, the emerald falling labyrinth No breadcrumbs, lost on city streets disguised And so much later would I learn that you were there Your own heart pulsing, you were Finding your way home If I had known your face The parallels we traced And what if we had met A stage nobody set All power's out in Buena Vista nobody’s getting through tonight we chased the paths of wind and lightning and nothing is the same nothing is the same a left on Arbor now I double back on Vernon I am driving past your childhood home, again and you are drifting there are searchlights over Graylyn we will pass each other blinded, we are ghosts If I had known your face The parallels we traced And what if we had met A stage nobody set All power's out in Buena Vista nobody’s getting through tonight we chased the paths of wind and lightning and nothing is the same nothing is the same
