LOST MY WAY

THE TAKING
If you know what it takes why are you backing out
If youvíe heard how it ticks the time goes on for days
A moment in the middle of a thousand years
A summer moon behind a cloud thatís filled with tears
It wasnít what I thought to think around myself
What almost came to me appeared to someone else
For now your tame and rightly sane and free from ghosts
So take from us the jewel of life you love the most
If you know what it takes why are you backing out?

LOST MY WAY
If I were the hunter and you stuggled free
Now you chase the chaser the bullseye on me
Lost my way
Feed off my pain
Love so strange
Nothing gained
Try to get back at you
Like skull and a crossbone a warning so clear
Without any notice love slithered near
Lost my way
Feel so drained
Oh how I have changed
In love we play
Try to find something new
Did I ever tell you with eyes on the sun
The fallen believer confused everyone
Lost my way
House of Shame
Love so strange
Nothings changed...........try to get over you

ST SAVIAR
There are many trails up St. Saviar mountain
Yours may be the shy one mine the sly way up the east side
One circles round and round
Not Knowing what weíve found
Will we find a means to an end
What tools did you use
I found my clues
So many roads to choose
Everyone will get there
Fight the trial and error
Everyone Everyone Everyone
The trial and error
One chased the colored horns
Chased and cut by bloody thorns
Weíve seen them before
Oh I donít want that way
No, I donít want that way
Everyone will get there fight the trial and error
Everyone everyone everyone
The trial and error

CAROUSEL
If lifeís a carousel
A never ending ride on which I dwell
A twisted tourtured soul
that only lays a burden on the world
If I could turn back time
Iíd change the past and make to future mine
But I donít have all day
So wish me well and Iíll be on my way
Old wallet pressing thin
But I know how the beat the game and win
Bust up for seven days
But I got stash the other kind of pay
Cheap smile winking eye
Then run them out the back they always buy
And Iíve got lots of friends
The candles hot the party never ends
Some things youíll never find
Weíre hidden in the dark but you can try
Sheís looked that way before
Itís not the first time sheíd slept on the floor
The others over there
Hey itís their life and I donít really care
Footsteps creek up the stairs
But Iím ok Iím just a little scared
So life the carousel
My mystery of fortune never tells
And if I fall back in
To spin around to get to where Iíve been
Oh trusted crystal ball
Oh wonít you help me mirror on the wall
Then try some other time
A clever world was all Iíd hoped to find

WE THE PEOPLE
We are of the people so torn and dispaired
Will they change us to fit some illusion
Opinions you tell me canít think on my own
I heard talk falling cheap by the minute
A passage before me the door opened slow
One small step to the left and the floors gone
Oh God theyíve made a mistake thank God they know how we feel
I guess their taking theyíre taking their time to try to figure us out
I havenít a doubt about the troubles weíve had
Sometimes our human condition is a little bit more
than the human concern
So love me then guide them to show us the way
Have you freed all the cows from their pasture
Now bless me oh pray for me wishing thee well
So we happily die on the wire
Iíd better do as Iím told so I wonít have to grow old
Submit the final request no sir youíll never go home
Oppression depression leads one and the same
We argue then sink only deeper
So life winds the road long but I take my time
As I gaze from the walls of disaster
Then steep winds the valley to lean tuck and curve
Now we know what weíve done in the world we deserve

EYE
When I shift time to the other world
Where pain and pleasure have no home
When you recieve and your not alone
In a shadowed place Iím not to know
Alone you fly through a timeless trial
Broken waves of rage race through your head
The hollow eyes of the silent child
And the scream is met with no reply
I felt the echoes of the ancient and unkown
Silent warnings from the shadows housed in stone
A distant memory came clear before my mind
Lived a golden age of freedom never known
Suspect the past then they burn the time
As the world paints flowers on machines
So we turn the eyes to the other land
So the pain and pleasure never find

MARY LOU
Down by grandpasí farm thereís a girl named Mary Lou
Sheís got eyes of fire and a broken heart tattoo
Board that Greyhound bus gonna chase that Western sky
Sheís got party lust gonna make them boys go wild
Mary Lou, Mary Lou, set your self in flight
Mary Lou, Mary Lou, gonna think of you tonight
Little small town girl with the big time on her mind
Dreams of golden lights gonna leave this world behind
Down by grandpas farm thereís a girl named Mary Lou
Sheís got eyes of fire and a broken heart tattoo
