i had ice coffee in the morning
moved my finger along a map
felt the future rising through me
i held the world in my lap

if you had an indian name
what would it be
if you needed a hostage
you can always have me
and when the world is flat
and we come to the edge
would you red me your words
would you tell me our pledge
oh the sounds of the morning
they set desire…
just a sliver of a moon
as i walk thru this town
yea it is trash night
and i am sacred bound
i am counting my steps
and i am looking at my hands
i am feeling your skin
some might say that i am a bird in the wind
i learned how to…

the sun rises every morning
i hear those feet upon the floor
im pretty sure that you are beside me
everythings the same as it was before
our son jumps in bed and lys between us
holds us together as the light drifts in
you are the flower of my…
i lay my head down on my pillow
outside i can see the evening sky
you are just over that Western horizon
and i dream that i can fly
the earth shakes '
my water breaks
we have given birth to something new
i see you standing hear before me
we…

One of the songfight inspired titles for RPM 2007. This was also picked out of a hat. This one is the mother of all semitone slide bass/root note chord smashers. It's everywhere. The lyrics are some of my favorite, though most people have no idea…
Another of the three songfight inspired titles. Painted Tense (the title) actually came from a band name generator website. I thought it might make a good song title so I submitted it to the RPM HQ person doing the name-from-a-hat picking. I would…
I (Al) wrote this song way back, just before the start of the current Iraq war. But it comes back to my mind every time a politician utters words matching a regex something like /(capture and )?kill (Osama )?Bin Laden/. It happened to be Obama…

"I am hypnotized by the TV weekdays at 5:30. They wash my mind on Eastern Standard Time. You know my mind runs on commercial puns. Oh, I can't think for myself anymore..."
Yeah, I can't help watching TV alot. Well I can, but I choose not to. This…
one of the short comings if you want to see it that way is that it is really easy to comment more than once on a song with out realizing it. so sorry if that is the case and i am repeating myself. great feel to this. so melancholy, on of my favorite feelings.
