Voices
Voices comin at me till I wanna run away
All I asked for, all I wanted was to be alone one day
One day. One day.
And I know that you don’t wanna take the light away from me
But I could lose it anyway and I need your help, you see…
Your help, you see.
You know the love of a lifetime can buckle under too
I don’t want anything to rob me of the wonder of you
So say you’ll give me time
And you know where to draw the line
Say that you’ll always be mine.
You know we got too many families and we got too many plans
Work too many jobs and take too many stands
Take my hand. My hand.
Yesterday I was a child who had forgotten how to play,
But if I was a child at all I can’t recall today
Recall today.
You know the love of a lifetime can buckle under too
I don’t want anything to rob me of the wonder of you
So say you’ll give me time
And you know where to draw the line
Say that you’ll always be mine.
See me now, I’m grabbing for dry land
I’m flounderin and I’m reachin for your hand
There’ll be another day for you to make your plans
See me now I’m grabbing for dry land
Voices comin at me till I wanna run away
All I asked for all I wanted was to be alone one day
One day. One day.
And I know you’ve had to fight your way through a life of noise and violence
But all I’m askin for today is ten minutes of silence.
You know the love of a lifetime can buckle under too
I don’t want anything to rob me of the wonder of you
So say you’ll give me time
And you know where to draw the line
Say that you’ll always be mine.

Love Vulture, preyin on the weak,
The weak and dyin
You circle there just waiting for a sign
I don’t know how long I’ve got
No I don’t know how long I’ll rot here
With the shadow of your wings upon my face

Indian Summer
Football on the campus green, colors like you’ve never seen
In a tackle, you’re caught in between, laughing
All your crimes forgotten.
A little beer, a lotta laughter
One more fresh air dinner after
When you catch yourself just lookin at her
Rememb’rin kisses, soft and sure as cotton.
But it’s not love; it’s Indian Summer
it feels like love, but you’re already gone
Just for a moment you can suspend disbelief
Just for a moment you are bathed in relief
But just as fast as the leaves fall
You remember
You said your goodbyes back in September
It’s not love… It’s not love
It’s Indian Summer.
The phone calls, well, they’ve all been made
New plans are already laid
You’ve packed your things and moved them
Now is not the time to flounder
And you know grief can make you blind
And sometimes you might look behind
Thinkin you should be among all of those
Friends who gather round her
But it’s not love; it’s Indian Summer
it feels like love, but she’s already gone
Just for a moment you can suspend disbelief
Just for a moment you are bathed in relief
But just as fast as the leaves fall
You remember
You said your goodbyes back in September
It’s not love… It’s not love
It’s Indian Summer.
The seasons change and in those first few weeks
They falter
As if their path to the next could by sheer force of will be altered
Like if you close your eyes and get on your knees
Where you can’t see or hear or smell the trees
If you could stay unaware of the chill in the breeze
That brushes through your hair
You can kid yourself; you can tell yourself with ease
That summer isn’t goin anywhere
You know it’s not love; it’s Indian Summer
it feels like love, but it’s already gone
Just for a moment you can suspend disbelief
Just for a moment you are bathed in relief
But just as fast as the leaves fall
You remember
You said your goodbyes back in September
It’s not love… It’s not love
It’s Indian Summer.

So this is today - no small revelation
I got turned around in the passage of time
You ask for my help though I suspect that you’re offering
Now I’m trying on clothes that I used to fit fine
Lemme stand in your heat; lemme dance on your feet
I gotta get my style back somehow
I haven’t really changed; I just feel very strange
Like a hothouse tomato or a fish in the air
I’m just lookin for an outfit I can borrow
Above my tv there’s a globe and a candle
A world and a flame within reach of my chair
I just sit here and smoke and then wish that I wouldn’t
But I gave it up once and it gave me a scare
Lemme stand in your heat; lemme dance on your feet
I gotta get in motion back somehow
I haven’t really changed; I just feel very strange
Like a runner on skis, or a ball on a stair
I’m just lookin for a ride that I can borrow
If you woke up, say on a Tuesday morning
And found that you had no eyes
Would you learn how to listen really hard
Or would you wish that you still could cry
It’s like I’ve been living with my Sunday school teacher
Or eating lunch in a restaurant that serves only cheese
And I’m headed uphill on my way to a valley
While my dog disappears chasing squirrels through the trees
Lemme stand in your heat; lemme dance on your feet
I gotta get my balance back somehow
I haven’t really changed; I just feel very strange
Like a lamp in the darkness or a train standing there
I’m just lookin for a job that I can borrow

Move with me, baby - we’ll move to Love City
Leave all the cold and the hunger behind
Move with me baby - we’ll move to Love City
Once you’ve had a taste of it I don’t think you’ll mind
The way we’re living darling some would say that it’s all right
Work in the daytime and party almost every night
But if you never been to love city then you don’t know what you’re missing
And you can’t say you don’t wanna go when it’s me that you been kissing
Love, Love City
Trust me i know my way around
And you’ll be safe and cozy there
It’s our kinda town
Move with me, baby - we’ll move to Love City
Leave all the trash talk and the hassles behind
Move with me baby - we’ll move to Love City
Once you’ve had a taste of it I don’t think you’ll mind
You know I only left for you and I won’t go back without you
And there’s no way in hell I’d ever leave you there alone
The city of big shoulders put us both on solid ground
But it’s long past time that i took you to my home
Love, Love City
Babe, I know you’re scared to go
But you’ll be fine as long as you’re with someone in the know
Move with me, baby - we’ll move to Love City
Leave all the crabbiness and longing behind
Move with me baby - we’ll move to Love City
Once you’ve had a taste of it I’m sure you won’t mind
Love, Love City
I’m the honorary mayor
So pack up your attitude I’m gonna move you there.
