Churning

She puts on her shoes
She dance in the grooves
Got tired of those little boxes
He knows what’s out there
All ready to scare
Watching out for those little foxes
He got in her head
Turned blues into red
Lit the fire only she kept burning
Now he’s gone away
She’s ready to play
Cut the wire so we get churning
We get churning We get churning now
He’s supposed to be the one
Shame he couldn’t get it done
His dreams got in the way
They twisted up inside to fray
Oh yes he did one thing
Attached the wood to rope to make a swing
Long legs she kicked so high
Toes outstretched to reach across the sky
It happened one day
The rope was to fray
Gripping tight only she slipped faster
Rope looped on the ground
Salt tears all around
Now her eyes filled with alabaster
Now he’s gone away
She’s ready to play
Cut the wire so we get churning
We get churning We get churning now
He’s supposed to be the one
Shame he couldn’t get it done
His dreams got in the way
They twisted up inside to fray
Oh yes he did one thing
Attached the wood to rope to make a swing
Long legs she kicked so high
Toes outstretched to reach across the sky
She puts on her shoes
She dance in the grooves
Got tired of those little boxes
He’s fallen away
She’s ready to play
Facing up to those little foxes
She’s safe in the house
Voice quiet like a mouse
No danger from little boxes
He knows what’s out there
All ready to scare
Watching out for those little foxes
He got in her head
Turned blues into red
Lit the fire only she kept burning
Now he’s gone away
She’s ready to play
Cut the wire so we get churning
We get churning We get churning now
He’s supposed to be the one
Shame he couldn’t get shit done
His dreams got in the way
Twisted up inside to fray
Oh yes he did one thing
Attached the wood to rope he made a swing
Long legs she kicked so high
Could she ever reach to touch the sky

LAST REMAINING
When she falls apart
She did it for the ones who follow me
When he lost his heart
There was no mic it was a tragedy
When he has a thought
He goes into his closet with a mic
Here's a thing she bought
She talks and talks it gets 300 likes
Have you heard?
The one about the crime in the next town
So absurd
The one who said that time was upside down
We are the Last Remaining
Friend you have
Without a podcast
No No we’re not complaining
Don’t you know
We feel the same things
So alone
We deal in daydreams
Overload
We sing so we won't scream
Was it Kurt who said
Make a poem keep it in your head
If you write it down
Burn it up to ashes on the ground
Though I tried
I can’t stay quiet you know I won’t shut up
Til I die
The fire inside still it burns
Keep the beat our hearts will yearn
Tap our feet the dancer takes her turn
Have you heard?
The one about the crime in the next town
So absurd
The one who said that time was upside down
We are the Last Remaining
Friend you have
Without a podcast
No No we’re not complaining
Don’t you know
We feel the same things
So alone
We deal in daydreams
Overload
We sing so we won't
Scream

Round and Around (demo)

Well we stayed up all night
Alive by firelight
We stayed up til day
To watch the sun chase the stars away
Round and around
We'll meet again
Round and around
Someday friend
You and I
Beneath a summer sky
Swore we’d never
Stay in town forever (and ever and ever)
Round and around
We'll meet again
Round and around
Someday friend
Round and around
We will see
Round and around
life’s mysteries
This is your year
Just wait another day
Have another beer
Don’t start out til your old and grey
Blow on the embers
It’ll help you remember
To enjoy it while it lasts
Look back the moments passed (it’s past)
Round and around
We'll meet again
Round and around
Someday friend
Round and around
We will see
Round and around
life’s mysteries
This is your year
Just wait another day
Have another beer
Don’t start out til your old and grey
Round and around
We'll meet again
Round and around
Someday friend
Round and around
We will see
Round and around
life’s mysteries

She's Right Here

She lights a candle every day
And the incense she burns with her aromatherapy spray
It away
To clear her head she covers her eyes before bed
Whoa-oh
The rug slipped out from under
The world tore asunder and oh
Whoa-oh
With mind full of chatter and what does it matter
The year that did not go as planned
The birthday was missed and the gig where she sings with the band
Gone away
To cure her blues she traded to skates from her shoes
Whoa-oh
The rug slipped out from under
The world tore asunder and oh
Whoa-oh
With minds full of chatter and everything matters
She finds she can summon her will
So she visits the man made of stone at the top of the hill
He’s not there
He pointed out west while he claimed it was all for the best
But No-oh
His rug slipped out from under his world now a blunder and hey
A New Day
The kids toppled him down now the girl with the skates rules the town
And she can dance on the sand
Outstretch her fingers to where the sky touches the land
She drove to the coast not alone
And she finds she can still find her way even without her phone
She’s right here
The sun makes her shadow her body not shallow and hey
It’s okay
That we all went under
Our world tore asunder and hey
It’s okay
We can skate on the brink and our minds can do more than just think
Whoa-oh She’s right here (rug slipped out under the world tore asunder)
Oh-whoa-oh She’s right here (minds full of chatter everything matters)
Oh-Whoa-oh She’s right here (slipped out under world tore asunder)
Oh it's okay She’s right here
We can skate on the brink and our minds can do more
We can skate on the brink and our minds can do more
We can skate on the brink and our minds can do more than just think
Whoa-oh
She’s right here
