Emily Waters

Look across the water

Look across the sand

Do you see an angel coming

Walk across the land

Something in your memory

Draws you back to town

You wonder if they found her yet

She went missin yesterday

All you citizens you’re just like Emily Waters

Somewhere in the mystic

Somewhere in the fog

See her out there standing

Just like she lost her dog

This child has lost her family

If that don’t chill you to the bone

Sure you’ve seen this child running

She’s lost gone away

All you citizens you’re just like Emily Waters

Something about the world these days

Its’ like the hand of god

Reached down and picked her up

Then swept away her soul

If that’s the way it is I guess that’s the way it is

See she believed in heaven

Until her dying day

Anything But Innocent

I remember seeing you standing across the room

There was something you did with your leg

something you did with your hair

I remember thinking you are

anything but innocent 4X

Girl I like the way you like the way you smile

I like the way you look at me and sometimes wink your eye

I remember thinking this could not be for me

Until you brushed up against me like a hurricane… you are

Time will teach the lesson   we will never know

We’re divided by nothing (to blind to know)

You can keep pretending I’m not on your mind

Girl you can get up and show me you are

Anything but Innocent

Pine Box

Terrified of what I’ve become

Sometimes I hate everything I’ve done

Don’t know what to do with myself today

What if I put a bullet in my brain

One door opens the other door closed

Got no reason to smell the rose

Everything inside of me wants to leave

Cuz everybody’s got a trick up there sleeve

No sense in tryin to get back in

Those old pearly gates are locked from within

You wake up in the morning you roll you stone

You roll it up a Mountain and then go home

Everything you did the day before

Come crashing down to even the score

So many things makes me want to cry

When is this old Indian’s time to die  Make mine (?)

It’s a question of balance it’s a question of strength

It’s a question of the rich folds against the ranks

What ya gonna do to make yourself proud

What ya gonna do up in front of the crowd

Do you have a plan do you have some goals

Do you think the road lives worth the tolls

When it comes time to finally rest

I hope and pray that I’ve past your test

There is a moon in the southern sky

Shining down on your every lie

There is nothing that you can do

Except for maybe to tell the truth

Everything that you do tonight

Will come back to you wrong or right

CH …This cannot be real……

I had a love ya I held her close

You see to me she meant the most

I went out for a cigarette

It was then she left to my regret

I’ve been told that she met a man

Who she loves and understands

CH……This cannot be real……..

Not a day passes by

That I don’t stop and wonder why

All she meant was everything

Now nothing can stop the sting

They say love is a winding road

I think love is a secret code

CH…This cannot be real……..

Schoolboy

I went to school today

like any other day

and tried to get along

but something went wrong

there’s so much hate in me

that I can not be free

until I end it all

and take you with me

chorus

I’ve been pushed around                  For the very last time

I act like a clown                             Till I blow up your town

I planned out loud                            To a machine gun the crowd

is there something wrong with me?

All of the other kids

laugh and point at  me

underneath their breath

they say I’m so strange

I was a child once

suite and innocent

but now I’ve broken through

to the other side

chorus ////       The rest is history

I tried to turn a leaf

I found a darker side

they say his Majesty

had a hold of me

I got to let you go

I got a job to do

you think I’m  twisted now

I’m just a schoolboy

chorus ///////////   and the rest is history

She Said No

Everything she says and everything  that she does
Drives me Insane ya it takes me to the wall

Right into the wall——
She never seems to want you around no more
She doesn’t seem to like the same things you do at all

Not at all ——

Chorus

I could not live in your house, I could not be you
I could not be that strong, once I knew the truth
And now you know the truth

Its like a prison in there, you can not be free
Even through your heart you know you hold the key
Is there anything else, she said no

Everything that you do, everything you believe
May come crashing down on you if she leaves
There are about a hundred times a day that you think about her
But theres only about three that don’t make you scream

That don’t make you scream——–

Strange bed
You were wrong about everything
Right before you left
You know I’m feeling fine right now
I knew that you’d be leaving
before to long
I guess I always felt
there was something wrong
I’ve been thinking about you
Daily now
You see I can’t go to sleep
At night
I wonder if the medicine’s
Taken hold
I feel like I’m falling down a hole Into a Strange Bed

Woke up in the morning
Before daylight
I remember thinking
that was a hell of a fight
I looked around the room
Just to check the time
A little voice inside me
said this ain’t mine
I stumbled for my clothes
And to find the door
And when I swung it open
I found 4 more
I headed out the window
Down to the street
Last thing I remember was satin sheets on a Strange Bed

It must have been a dream
That was all to real
It felt like fantasy
So ideal
A little touch of heaven
A touch of gold
Nothing tears you like
Love untold
I see you face inside of my
Mind sometime
I think about your leaving
As such a crime
I wonder if you’ll ever
Comeback this way
I wonder if you might like to stay in a Strange Bed
