Over Your Roof

I laid the cards for you
It’s just a game you’ll lose
You pick the one that suits
And I’ll be soon to pull love up from under you
That part of love I knew
You lift me up in faith
And I handed down this grace
Whose hand will fold who knows?
A fool will find a way
To overlook mistakes and never follow through
If I ever felt this sake
I’d make your birthday cake
I’d have a reason to
That part of love I knew
Inside your house that day
Over your roof I flew
And on your couch that night
It only stayed that way
My, my impatience has a way of looking blue
I could not love you true
And that’s how love remains
Don’t think I betrayed you
I laid the cards for you
It’s just a game you’ll lose
You pick the one that suits
And I’ll be soon to pull love up from under you
That part of love I knew

Urban Woman

Before me, I mean right in front of me ruby bounty
On the vine, on the vine
The one and the only growing cherry
Child of mine, of mine
Friction is my only addiction and my rehabilitation
won’t put me right, so I take flight
To urban woman, fame and money
Queen on high, on high
Tremble, my double in the window dancing on the table
I was in a trance, in a trance
Falling in love with the ring around your future;
the whisper at your shoulder
Bloom
Fate’s got a hold of you.
Street light
Substance
Valence
Patience and insight
Tongue-tied
Broken
Bone-dry
Sunken down in your cave of wonders like a buried treasure
Queen in vain, queen in vain
Urban woman, what I wanna know here is: can you dance?
Freedom, hammer falling from rolling thunder
I can’t hide, can’t hide
And singing like soldiers to the beat of the bedlam
I’m alive
And in bloom
Fate’s got a hold of you.
Strife
A life for a life
Before me, I mean right in front of me the crowning hour
Queen in time, queen in time
The one and the only future hanging
Child of mine

Queen For Me

America
Sell yourself to me
Dress up like a queen
On time, be mine
Be the queen for me
Paint yourself a new
Teach me how to use my soul, my soul
In the face of this
Dandelion
Diamond in the rough
Smiling on the bluffs
Your luck in hand
But oh my weatherman,
Can you call it all?
The diamond’s gonna fall
I say
don’t stay in the fog of love
Sun rising
Moon shining
An only child
Queen without a name
Dreamer of the state, your fate, your place
But my life remains in shadows
Now I’m on the lonely road
I’m on the way to the blind parade
I’m taken by a beautiful mind
I mean, I’ve come to say
I’m a child today
Sun if I may
Find my place
Cast away
A bird unto the breeze
The things I want to see from there
Be fair to the ones above watching over you
Gambling since the womb I know I threw,
But I lost it all for you
Heaven, I wish you weren’t so far
But, hell, we’re not so dark
I mean, I’m free
But I’m a man alone
Reaching for the road
Learning with the load I’ve grown
I’m only what I’ve come to know

Save Me Your Laughter
04:22

|

I’m an apple that won't fall,
Not for gravity
Not for law
For a woman only
Gray like fog for the lonely,
A dog that calls
A black sheep solely
Sent, withdrawn
Black and holy and god-foregone
Save me your laughter and your religion
My three shadows betray me
They’re all but gone,
Now back to haunt me
Who’s that siren above me?
The moon at dawn,
Or the earth beneath me?
No, orbit on
And don’t you write me,
Not one siren song
But save me your laughter and your religion
