I must find the answer
I'm not going to wait any more
Spin me like a dancer
Send me to the days of yore
Ring me on the phone
Take me to another time
I sit here all alone
Dreaming of the coast line
Everyday we sail the paisley waves
One foot out and one foot in the grave
I used to be a cynic
Now I'm just a modest guy
I used to be a critic
It's hard for me to dignify
I left my selfish ways
Searching for a humble life
Now I spend my days
Escaping from the strife
Everyday we sail the paisley waves
One foot out and one foot in the grave
I must find the answer
And then I'll be on my way
How can I find tomorrow
When I can't escape today
If you'll let me be
I'll take you right there with me
A rescue from reality
A noble ship on the sea
Everyday we sail the paisley waves
One foot out and one foot in the grave

Come sons and daughters
Come everyone come everyone around
Come rapists of lovers
within the walls you're dancing off
If you had control in your hands
would you colonize the faithless all around you?
learn to hold their hands, learn to reel them in
learn to touch them in their delicate hours
Held by the reins
of yesterdays children
Held by the reins
of fear that its over
I am the pettycoat, I am the long lost words of hope
you kept within your lungs
I am the messenger
I am a shadow on the doors of innocence
Held by the reins
of yesterdays children
Held by the reins
of fear that its over
You're not going to wait anymore, that's what you said before
You're not going to wait anymore
I am the fallen oak
my branches dead and broke
just look at the mess all around me
I am the dirty tapes
I am the magistrate
I am the filthiest thoughts that you crave
I am the rise and fall
I am a wrecking ball
telling you everything you'll ever know
I am to demonstrate
I am to fornicate
I am to loathe you

if you squint, you can trace it in the moonlight
such a prize, I can chase it in the daydreams I've been
brewing in the bottom of this cauldron of a
heart-shaped fetid old swamp of memories
don't you think it's time for a new day?
from the slime to the sludge buy the jury and the judge
from the bottom of the lake to the city on the hill
this is my time my day snap you if you're in my way
time to earn these wages
call goes ship-to-shore
I've waited here for ages
I'm not waiting anymore
I never would've thought it'd be so easy
you left the door off the latch all the locks left to smash
I dunno why you think it's complicated
like the target in your bed like the bullseye's red
time to earn these wages
call goes ship-to-shore
I've waited here for ages
I'm not waiting anymore
so take a breath the hardest part is over
my fingers on your throat oh we've come so far
it's the kick in the crotch, it's the blow to the head
when all you ever wanted was to let go, let go
dreamed I was a prince in a lifetime long ago
well they gave me everything on a gold plate turned it all to
lead oh they hated me they dragged me through the mud
but I don't let it bother me, obviously
and now you see my name on the towers and the banners
and the barricades are there to keep your filthy hands off everything
that's mine all mine and if I squint real hard I can't see a bit of mud that covers
everyone and everything
time to earn these wages
call goes ship-to-shore
I've waited here for ages
I'm not waiting anymore

Sunderday
far away
In lieu of now
Visions allow
Truth decay
Start climbing under the door
Not going to wait anymore
Commodore
Neath the floor
The apple wine
Will drain the time.
Nevermore
A concept lost in the cloud.
Gone if you say it out loud
Sunderday
Far away

Don't wanna wait for anybody
Not going to wait anymore
Making this move know I'm ready
Show this world what I stand for
Don't wanna do what I'm supposed to
Not keeping up with the pack
Making my way the best I can
Not going worry bout your track
Take a ride down to Lafayette station
Book my mind on a full vacation
See the world is ours to see
If you let your mind go free
Take a trip along a mystical journey
Won't wind up in a white picket gurney
I'm on my way
Take a look at yourself in the mirror
Maybe see things a little bit clearer
That the world is ours to make
Or you let them give and take
Find out where you fit in the picture
Try life with my own kinda mixture
I'm on my way

KG Noble - My Antonia
05:20

|
Small Nebraska town
Red grasses all around
A boundless swaying landscape topped by endless sky
Eager brown eyed girl
Running through the world
Watching, whispering and laughing in the grass
With a look or a gesture that somehow could reveal
All the meaning contained in common things
Autumn afternoons
We trailed through ruddy grass
As Antonia shivered in her cotton dress
When the winter came
Her family felt the strain
They were poor and unprepared for winter’s trials
Though she slept in a little cave they dug out of the earth
She was lighthearted and never complained
Ooh, my Antonia - Ooh, my Antonia
You’re my precious, inexpressible past
In the summer eves
We’d visit ancient trees
Running barefoot down those sunflower-bordered roads
We watched a lightning storm
From the slanting roof
As the bolts cracked the sky
You said, “Life will be different here, I trust.
Easy for you but hard for us.”
Another winter’s cold
Stripped the world of gold
And left it sheet-iron gray
I was city bound
You stayed to work the ground
And soon the roads of life all led us far away
From childhood dreams and memories of life I used to know
All the best days are the first to go
Ooh, my Antonia - Ooh, my Antonia
You’re my precious, inexpressible past
You’re my precious, incommunicable past
BRIDGE -------- (not gonna wait any more)
Antonia knows
How the prairie flows
But she couldn’t tell you why
She’s got the inner grace
Of those who’ve found their place
Underneath the gold-washed sky
And when you gaze in those dark Bohemian eyes
You see the rich mine of life that never dies
Ooh, my Antonia - Ooh, my Antonia
You’re my precious, inexpressible past
You’re my precious, incommunicable past

“Not To Mention”
You're the first thought when I open my eyes
And all I see before I fall asleep
Ghosts still haunting me, REM to deep
And that's not to mention the hours in between
It's cold out there
and I don't want to smoke inside
think I'll drink the night away
It's cold out here
but whiskey warms my bones
think I'll drink the night away
I put on my face, every single time
to walk on the stage of the daily grind
work 'till I bleed, at least occasionally
but that's not to mention the hours in between
It's cold out there
and I don't want to smoke inside
think I'll drink the night away
It's cold out here
but whiskey warms my bones
think I'll drink the night away
I think I'm going to cry, think I'm going to be sick
holding on to hope just like a crucifix (hypocrite)
“Settle down now before you lose your shit”
You and I apart just doesn't seem to fit
You're the first thought when I open my eyes
Ink to the paper, but not keeping any score
Nothing's going to change, not going to wait anymore
