PSYCHEDELIC CROQUET

six colors to play
no trees in the way
deciding the plan
starting the game

can you design me a path
red ball rolls into black
feels so good where I am

I don't know if I should send you
too far to come back
through the wicked greens and doors
to poison and forget the track

so whose turn is it now
to move colors around
winners finally crowned

I don't know if I should send you
too far to come back
through the wicked greens and doors
well that's just fine
we're just playing a game

Another in the works.

in the green
i will snake around
and live for a long time

in the trees
i will climb around
and live for along time

and it's easier
when i'm far away
i'll be close to having it all
currently i'm gone

on my feet
i can move around
and live for a long time

with the girls
i can fool around
and live for a long time

and it's easier
when i'm far away
and a new protector
was a give away for us all

and it's easier
when i'm far away
yeah it's easier
with light in eyes
and ears to hear you call

Composed on the piano

keep us closed
all alone
we will cover all our windows
just to dance a lot

just to run
the terrain
pleasantly we'll be loud
for a company we want

singing of the day
parking in a lot
and it doesn't make a difference where we're from

singing of the year
pulling us along
as we're holding tools that we don't use
i believe we're sorry, but we'll never lose

in the town
we're alone
but out here in the country
we have everyone

thinking up
same mistakes
making all the right things easy
keep it holding up our home

cause it will be here
then it will be gone
and it doesn't make a difference where we're from

singing of the year
pulling us along
and it's always something I can lose

and it's covered our excuse to keep it up
laughing when the victory is lost
with a group of common people that we've crossed
and that will do

This is the Time (and This is the Real Time)

waking and beginning
and driving on the line

as we sing of locations together

moving down the one way streets
and leaving things behind

with signs to remind us it's over
regretting how fast we have sped
cause we're always leaving
and saying so long
to the places on the way

now we're always talking
of our leavings on the line

as scientists dig and uncover
the ride that we spent on four legs
a number on an odometer

that we have barely turned
and soon we will be gone
forgetting all the songs that we sung
of locations that we thought to give a wave

waking and beginning
and driving on the line

as they sing of locations together

Subject Room

my private thoughts
wandering like women
who're intending to be lost

take me out to play
cause anything outside the earth
is countless miles away

so keep me occupied with socialized plans
deals on sultry packages and must haves

what you crave today
is a locked box full of things
you wish you didn't say

the same as me
so lets bring the smile out
we're wearing while we sleep
and have the thoughts we keep in our dreams

(chorus)
let me run in the pitch black
send me off on a jet pack
i've got nothing to take back
i meant to say that
(repeat chorus 2x)

take me far away
i always want the things
i cannot have or see today

with the stars so far
staying here just makes me want
wasted time guitar
and an evening at the bar

(chorus)
let me run in the pitch black
send me off on a jet pack
i've got nothing to take back
i meant to say that
(repeat chorus 3x)

I Kept the Monsters Away

(verse 1)
scared by a mirror
you don't want to face it
you cannot erase it

bought by a dollar
to play in the back yard
remembering old score cards
over the treetops
and into the neighbors lawn

(verse 2)
my one word purpose
is becoming a book now
so lets tear this page out

my life is clearer
without all that I wanted
so send me a postcard
for me to live through scenic lands

(chorus)
come old explorers away
bring all your toys
and your careless hairdos
I got you first now your out

(guitar solo)

(last verse)
living forgetful
with a test of a new bar
getting your business card
over the chain fence
and into the neighbors lawn

(chorus)
come old explorers away
bring all your toys
and your careless hairdos
I got you first now your out

I kept the monsters away
by simply repeating
that I don't believe in you
I don't believe in you
I don't believe in you (etc.)

New Song

Hold the tv set for us
blind keeping of our new shows
a stand using us
a reproduction plan

stares slightly over head
having it's brothers
living in the houses everywhere
fortune smiles on those who wait
they can wait a long time
now we can live without each other
