Pale grey.. my blanket of birth... For what it’s worth
No one can say
Frozen hue.. bequeathed to me..
The powers that be
But what colors…

Hang Ups
mariano
We got our kinks, or something peculiar
I'm on the brink, you're feeding me lines
Stop and think, or call on your savior
Your weakest link, is tugging on mine
Fix me a drink, neat or its dirty
Ship starts to sink…
The Boogieman
tboudreau
I just might be hiding behind your bedroom door
you might find me lying under your bed, down on the floor
You swear you hear the creekin' coming up the stairs
you got your eye on the peep-hole and nobody's there…
Its Coming On
boudreau
Can't ya feel it start to unwind
Can't ya see it or am I just blind
Can ya hear it slippin' out of time
Do you fear it in the back of your mind
I can't shake it I feel it's shaking me
I try and break it right across…
we were asked for a Halloween tune, I wrote this but we felt it wasn't Halloweenie enough - so I re-wrote the lyrics to Jack O'Lantern - same tune, different lyrics - this was the original.
Ghost Train

Tell me train conductor…
Jack O’Lantern
(boudreau10/12/16)
Well that Jack O' Lantern he’s just an empty-headed soul
He’s got fire on his breath and his eyes are just couple of holes
And skin as tough as leather and that busted up smile
But soon to be forgotten…
Doing My Time
Lyrics T Boudreau
Music Jimmy T
I was off on my ways
Might even call me crazy
I said, 'Baby brother,
can you spare a dime?'
He said 'from one to another,
how long have you been doin' time?"
I was out on a break…
Narrow Bridge
Lyrics - T Boudreau, C Maiorano Music - Jimmy T
That old narrow bridge might get ya to the otherside
But the strength within you will push you far and wide
And the lessons learned are far greater than the ride
All those hours…
Four by Four World
Lyrics Boudreau
Music Jim Tramontano
Well i wont pretend to hide
i choose not to step outside
my four by four world
Cast all your thoughts aside
Dont question or criticize
My four by four world
i'm challenging you…
Cemetery Mary
tboudreau /cmaiorano
I went out creeping on a Halloween night
Looking for the scream of my life
Not a single soul was sleeping every spook was insight
Even half-dead were alive
There's a guilty moon hanging in the gallows…

First Lie
Chris Tune / Toms Lyrics
I heard you singing from the roof tops
saw you swinging in the trees
tripping on a cough drop
dealing your disease
I watched you watching from the washroom
heard you tumble down my stairs
passed out…

I watched you watching from the washroom

passed out…
I wish I had a car
That ran on air, so far
To take me out – when I need to go
I wish I had the cash
Some seem to make so fast
To take you out, when we need it so
And with the travel costs so high
I’m trapped inside this box of mine
Waiting…

#RPM Challenge 2013#
Wake up in the morning, I’m still in my cloths
I got one eye open but the other wont go
Barely can remember the night before
Except for how you threw me out the door
Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey
I think I’m in trouble again…

Black Widow don’t hesitate
Lock the door, draw the shades
In your web I have been caught
Not enough to fill you up
Leave me a skin
A shell of the man that I was…
When you speak
Random words projected out
When you hear
All ignored except the shout
Claiming that you want to be
One of the last to shake the tree
When you see
And your eyes reflect the past
When you feel
But the question's not yet asked
