V. 1
I fell in love on a weekend getaway,
The Gulf wind blew through your hair as you danced on Esplanade,
Could I love you in the morning light?
When you’re in the middle row, headed home on a return flight
Chorus
I’ll love you wherever you go
From the Parthenon to The Alamo
Here or there, near or far
Wherever you go, there you are
V. 2
You could be on a Parisian cat walk
Or in your pajamas in a coffee shop parking lot
Or lying with your head upon my chest
Or standing in aisle three, obsessing on your grocery list
Chorus
I’ll love you wherever you go
From the Parthenon to The Alamo
Here or there, near or far
Wherever you go, there you are
Bridge:
Everywhere you go, Everywhere you go, Everywhere you go, Everywhere you go, Everywhere you go, Everywhere you go, Everywhere you go, Everywhere you go
Opened my eyes so I could see--saw the world in front of me...
Years from now, when my mem’ries start to fade
I’ll still see the girl who danced in the gulf wind breeze down Esplanade
Chorus
I’ll love you wherever you go
From the Parthenon to The Alamo
Here or there, near or far
Wherever you go, there you are
Chorus
I’ll love you wherever you go
From the Parthenon to The Alamo
Here or there, near or far
Wherever you go, there you are

Ruby, can you pass me the wine?
There’s nothing left to hold
If I leave it behind
I’m getting pretty good at the grind
I watch these broken movies
In the back of my mind
Ruby, don’t you wander sometimes?
Wonder at the dollars you could
Get for your dimes?
Never seen you stumble or blink
Sometimes you think of me
Surely drives you to drink
Wise man says you love something,
You oughta set it free
But I’m not sure what freedom
has to do with me
She said “you’ve broken my crown
With all these ups and downs
It’s a seesaw life
And I’m used to being Queen”
Maybe it’s time
To quit this life of petty crime
Get myself a license and drive
Still think we should buy us a boat?
It’s hard to plan ahead
Trying to keep us afloat
Seems like we keep wasting our time
Spending all our present
On a future of crime
Must be better clubs you could join
Starting every day with a
Flip of the coin
But if I’m gonna stay, I’m’a stay
I know I’m just a fool
To find my feet made of clay
Wise man says you love something,
You oughta set it free
But I’m not sure what freedom
has to do with me
She said “you’ve broken my crown
With all these ups and downs
It’s a seesaw life
And I’m used to being Queen”
Maybe it’s time
To quit this life of petty crime
Get myself a license and drive

Ups and downs like a see saw ride
Broken promises twistin up inside
Twist and turn the soulless steel
Cold enough but still we feel
In the end, in the end
I believe
Wipe away the neon tears
Caught up in the same old fears
Close our eyes take a breath
One step on to death
In the end, in the end
I still believe

WHEN YOU SLEEP
OOH WHEN I WATCH YOU SLEEP
OH SO PEACEFULLY COUNTING SHEEP
ME I’VE BEEN UP ALL NIGHT ON MY SEE SAW
OVER WHERE THE SHADOWS MEET
AND I CIRCLE ROUND A MURKY. HAZE WITH A TRAPEZOIDAL GAZE
AND I MEET THE DEVIL FACE TO FACE
THEN HE DISAPPEARS
WITHOUT A TRACE
OOH WHEN THE NIGHTIME MELTS
AND THE GENTLE SOULS FIND THEY’RE PEACE
AND WHEN DAYLIGHT WAITS FOR THE MIDNIGHT WALKERS GO TO SLEEP
AND THEY GO BACK UNDERNEATH THE GROUND
SOMEWHERE FARAWAY FROM TOWN
AND THEY DISAPPEAR WITHOUT A SOUND
I HEAR THE ANGELS SINGING
I HEAR THE SPIRITS WEEPING
I HEAR THE CLOCK IS TICKING
I HEAR THE SLEEPERS SLEEPING
I SEE THE DREAMERS DREAMING
I SEE THE WATCHERS WATCHING
I SEE RUNNERS RUNNING
I SEE THE DANCERS DANCING

The club is my playground
You wanna come play?
Been working all day now
It’s time to party
So what you gon’ say now?
You rolling with me?
The club is my playground
Come over and see
‘Cause I got all the time
And I ain’t in no rush
And you look mighty fine
I think I got a crush
And with that bass thumpin’
You can’t say nothing
So get that thang jumpin’
Jumpin’ like it’s double dutch
Move that thang up and down
And up and down
And up and down and up and down
(Just like a seesaw)
Up and down and up and down
And up and down and up
(Just like a seesaw)
It’s time to get crazy
It’s time to get loose
We finna get faded (you already know)
So pour up the juice (pour it up)
The way you moving your body
Is so amazing (doin’ your thing)
All eyes are on you (lookin’ lookin’ lookin’)
It’s time to get crazy (tag, you’re it)
And you know what to do
(Leave em in the sandbox)
It’s time for recess
Now do the jungle gym
Now do the monkey bars (swang)
Now do the merry go round
Now can you hop-hop-hop
Do the hopscotch

Signifying nothing
The clock it winds uphill
Next to the see saw
On the windowsill
All life’s shitty writers
Nothing quite fits the bill
Everything’s broken
At the lollipop guild
Never thought I go out like this today
Writing nonsense just cause it’s Monday
Feeling pretty busy
Overwhelmed, you could say
Too much going on, got bills to pay
No, don’t wanna keep you
Ain’t got time to kill
Feeling the pressure
Ain’t got no chill
How fast can I write this
Slower than a rumor mill
Witty deep reference
And my mental health pill
Never thought I go out like this today
Writing nonsense just cause it’s Monday
Feeling pretty busy
Overwhelmed, you could say
Too much going on, got bills to pay
One more time for children
Prostitutes and shills
Edward Snowden
And Buffalo Bill
Nowhere man for hire
Asteroids and drills
90’s movies
Armageddon
On a flat top grill
Never thought I go out like this today
Writing nonsense just cause it’s Monday
Feeling pretty busy
Overwhelmed, you could say
Too much going on, got bills to pay

My girlfriend’s already asleep and I still haven’t finished my Week 7 song
She probably didn’t believe me when I told her I wouldn’t be very long
Spent my last 24 hours on taxes
Breaking my back on those 1040 blues
And I need to finish this now so tomorrow I won’t spend all day hitting snooze
If you listen closely you might barely the notice the sound of me settling for less
I ho hum and heehaw and try to fit “seesaw” into this quick musical mess
Spent my last six weeks on these exercises
Varying sizes and rates of success
And here’s one more ditty for this week’s committee
So there, look, I did it
I guess
