She was my first
But always second
To duty and guns
She held me close
I pushed her away
But not far enough
She was the light
Shining in darkness
Too bright she burned out
She took my heart
Now I am empty
Let’s just burn it all
Yes, I know it’s right
Nothing feels so bad
The wheel turns on
Losing Susan
Bridge:
There’s evil in town
Winklepicker
Burn it all down
There’s evil in town
Winklepicker
Burn it all down
Yes, I know it’s right
Nothing feels so bad
The wheel turns on
Losing Susan

Always on the let go
Far away from it all
Some birds in the window
Never learn to fly away again
So tell me where are you now
Bending shapes and the ground to kiss
So tell me where are you now
Some things are better than this
Wear your winklepickers
You’d better step lightly
and don’t get them dirty
Its all up to you now
Its all up to you now

Pink no Kumo (the Pink Spider)
by Shu Nakamura 2021
(English Translation)
Every day, just because I’ve been thinking about only you
Every day, just because I’ve been thinking about only you
A pink spider has a nest in my head
When I noticed, the pink spider slowly grew bigger
When I noticed, the pink spider little by little grew bigger
Just because I’ve been thinking about only you
Winklepicker, tinkle-winklepicker
Everything in front of me is dyed in pink color
I’m a drinker, an all-night drinker
I have nothing else to do except drinking
The pink spider is still in my head
The pink spider is still in my head
Someone, please get rid of this abominable pink spider

I want to take away your pain
I want to kiss away your tears
I want to lift your cloak of shame
I know that’s why I’m here
I see the sun on your horizon
I see it gleaming through the trees
I feel the light and heat rising
Rising in you and me
We’ll let all our secrets unfold into this night
Let every shadow come to life
Here in the season of our seeking
My heart is blooming like a rose
Just behind the words I’m speaking
You can feel the blood pulse
You see the sun on my horizon
It’s just a million miles away
You see the light of my love is shining
Just to show you are safe
We’ll let all our secrets unfold into this night
Let every shadow come to life
I watch you sleeping in the forest
Water coiling down your spires
You are the grace of sweet arrival
You are the sum of my desire
We’ll let all our secrets unfold into this night
Let every shadow find the light

we keep our numbers straight
Most every day
Don’t break a sweat
don’t snap a clean streak
Oh, something changes with
The shadows growing long
Must be the moon
just makes my knees weak
Just takes a single word
It all goes right to wrong
Something goes snap and
Trips the fault wires
Can’t help what happens then
You know I try to fight
Just gasoline poured
On a wildfire
Can’t stop what started
I’m torn at the seams
So real, what once only
lived in my dreams
We play a friendly round
Until the sun goes down
Nobody’s going down in hot flames
After the shadows fall
Another free-for-all
I think I’m ready for the night games
It’s all so cut and dry
Lit by the light of day
Nowhere to hide
Beneath the noon sun
The stroke of midnight
temptation creeping round
I know I’m not the only lost one

Left them in Summer
Deep in her Winter time
Barely complained
Missing them dearly
She crossed the Rhineland
And soon lost her way
Sublime and panic
She spins so frantically
Losing her way
Can’t tell her anything
She lost her wedding ring
Where she can’t say
Hitched to Bastogne
Sad and alone yet
She pressed to Calais
Chasing her Springtime
Losing her mind
She was barely halfway
Sublime and panic
She spins so frantically
Counting the days
Can’t tell her anything
She lost her wedding ring
Where she can’t say
Crossing the channel
She took the ferry
It took all she’d saved
Onward to Dover
Soon to her lover
She’d smile and he’d wave
Sublime and panic
She spins so frantically
Today’s the day
Can’t tell her anything
She lost her wedding ring
Where she can’t say
She must’ve missed him
Pacing the dock
She had hoped to set roots
She left her family
Penniless, scrounging
Winklepicker boots
Sublime and panic
She spins so frantically
Depths cold and grey
Can’t tell her anything
She lost her wedding ring
Where she can’t say

THE KINGS HIGHWAY BLUES
Saw you dashing down the avenue
Walking in your Winklepicker shoes
And crushed velvet pants
You commissioned from your past
and a black satin hat
You found at the laundramat
It’s true these are the best of times
It’s true these are the best of times
You say you got the Kings Highway blues
The money that you saved after school
a dollar from the rich
You got some pick up stix
from the candy store
You know what you want and you want sone more
It’s true these are the best of times
It’s true these are the best of times
Saw you dashing down the avenue
Walking in your Winklepicker shoes
And crushed by the fads
and collisions with the past
and the world that leaves you mad
and you know what you want and you want to laugh
It’s true these are the best of times
It’s true these are the best of times

I only just got back
and they say we gotta shut it all down
No matter how hard you try
You only get one go around
You only get one go around

I only just got back
and they say we gotta shut it all down
No matter how hard you try
You only get one go around

So don't you lock yourself inside
You can never shut out the sun
When you come to realize
You're gonna be who you've become
ch:
So take it or leave it
You'd better believe it
Anything else would be a crime
So stock up your strength, now
'Cause you're gonna need it
For the long ride
v2:
The time is passing by
The time is always right to cry
No need to try to fake
That certain look inside your eyes

They told us this would end
They said we'd see the other side
So here we go again
Another day to be alive
ch:
So take it or leave it
You'd better believe it
Anything less would be a crime
So stock up your strength, now
'Cause you're gonna need it
For the long ride

I don’t know the name
I don’t know the name
I just know that when I’m walking
I feel no pain
I don’t know the name
I don’t know the name
I just know that when I’m walking
I feel no shame
I used to sleep above the vent
outside the Towers Ferry Mall
This was a time
when I had no shoes at all
I would spend my days
bumming people for change
or a sandwich to keep
the mental cobwebs away
C:
One day in a daze
I saw these shoes and was amazed
They pointed at me sayin
boy it’s your lucky day
I begged like a fiend
to get a suit that was nice and clean
Bought a pair, some underwear
and strolled into my dream
C:
I got my tunes
I got my mojo
zuit suit
and winklepinkers

Inside his head
The mystery grew
She had raven hair
And eyes like moons
As each word
Escaped her lips
Her tone was soft
Her insight fierce
What say you, dear
Beneath the indigo sky?
Won’t you dance
With me tonight?
What say you here
By the light of the moon?
Did I imagine it all?
Was it the call of the loon?
His days are spent
In solitude
Spectacles, and
Winklepicker shoes
He contemplates
The meaning of
Life and art
But rarely love
What say you, dear
Beneath the indigo sky?
Won’t you dance
With me tonight?
What say you here
By the light of the moon?
Did I imagine it all?
Was it the call of the loon?
As he spoke
She pulled the rug
From beneath him
With just one tug
With dashed hopes
Came freedom from
The fear that leaves
Heartstrings unstrummed
What say you, dear
Beneath the indigo sky?
Won’t you dance
With me tonight?
What say you here
By the light of the moon?
Did I imagine it all?
Was it the call of the loon?
