At The End Of The Day
Earth - dancing 'round the fire
Come - meet the western sky
Life - walking on a wire
Reach - to know the reason why
At the end of the day
You'll be lying in a suit of Grey
At the end of the day
You'll be fine
They - won't do you any favors
('Till the slate is clean)
You - you walk a lonely line
Slide - with punks and drunks and saviors
(In the big machine)
Down - you meet the rest of life
At the end of the day
It's what you do not what you say
At the end of the day
You'll be fine
At the end of the day
It doesn't matter anyway
At the end of the day
You'll be fine
You'll be fine
Great wheel is broken - you've got no fortune left
Out of the sunlight - out of the great undead
And you can't even sleep at night
And you literally curse each day
You could give or give back your life anyway
Concrete and jungle
They've stretched and hung you out
You can't turn the clock back
It's too late to turn back now
And you can't even hold your own
And you feel like you're all alone
And you never feel like you're home anywhere
At the end of the day
There won't be anymore
(So turn the world around)
At the end of the day
We'll know what this was for
(As the sun keeps comin' down)
At the end of the day
You won't feel any pain
(As the sky begins to fall)
At the end of the day
You'll be feeling right as rain
(As the veil reveals it all)
Lightning calls you
It's time to go
Something keeps telling you
But you don't want to know
Feel your heart like a window open slow
Say goodbye to the world that you know
At the end of the road
It begins, it believes and it sees for all time
She's coming down my way
It is here, as it breathes and it sees for the blind
She's holding me finally
You've been schooled
Had aggression in large amounts
Just be truthful
It's everything that counts
There is no hand waiting that must be paid
We will leave our encores all unplayed
At the end of the day
It begins, it believes and it sees for all time
She's coming down my way
It is here, as it breathes and it sees for the blind
She's holding me finally
It begins, it believes and it blows me away
It is here, as it breathes at the end of the day
She's coming down my way
It begins, as it ends and it won't be unkind
She's coming down my way
It is here, as it breathes and it eases my mind
Here it is finally
It begins, as it ends and it blows me away
It is here, as it lives at the end of the day
Here it is finally
Earth - dancing 'round the fire
Come - breathe the breath of life
Life - walking on a wire
Just - let it all in tonight
At the end of the day
It's what you do not what you say
At the end of the day
You've got time
At the end of the day
You'll be dreaming as you fly away
At the end of the day
You'll be fine, you'll be fine

Revelation
Got a locket on a string
She caresses as she brings me jasmine tea
Breaking out of who she was
She confesses that she's not sure how
And I cannot explain now
But the rain keeps coming down
It's the rain of revelation
Just keeps comin' down
Just keeps comin' down
It's the pain of pure elation
Just keeps comin' down
Just keeps comin' down
She's a shifted paradigm
She's my partner in my crime against the clock
If she's the wind then I'm a fan
Blowing through and changing who I am
And I don't understand how
But she's blowing through me now....
It's the rain of revelation
Just keeps comin' down
Just keeps comin' down
It's the pain of pure elation
I can't live without
I can't live without, I can't live with....
I had somethin' black and somethin' blue
But I never heard a thing that's true
And I always thought there's nothing new under the sun
And I cannot explain now
But the rain keeps coming down
It's the rain of revelation
Just keeps comin' down
Just keeps comin' down
It's the pain of pure elation
I can't live without
I can't live without
It's through now.....
I've gone underground

Thoughts (Part II)
I thought I'd come to you and say
All the things I had on my mind
I thought it might be really great
To show you how I feel inside
Then I think ... MAYBE NOT ...
You wouldn't speak to me
I would be left behind
We'd be through if you knew
All the things in my mind
I'd probably feel worse
You'd probably scream and shout
Scratch and curse or even worse
Quietly shut me out
I thought I'd come to you and say
Everything within my heart
I just can't look the other way
And wait for us to grow apart
Then I think ... WHAT'S THE POINT?
This might just go away
I think I'll think some more
Either way I will pay
And suffer for evermore
You wouldn't speak to me
I would be left behind
We'd be through if you knew
All the things in my mind
I thought I'd come to you and say
All the things I had on my mind ...

All On A Sunday
All on a Sunday
I woke in the morning
But my head said too soon
So I slept until noon
In the blink of a memory
My consciences left me
And it stayed gone until
The sun came to fill the room
I wanna live just like you
I wanna feel like you do
I wanna lay it down
All on a Sunday
I wanna fly to the moon
I'll see the world from my room
All on a Sunday
The wind and the weathering were on channel 14
So I flipped to Ben-Hur
Feeling warm and secure
The stars of the 80's
And the corporate ladies
Flashed on my screen
'Til I started to dream again
I wanna live just like you
I wanna feel like you do
I wanna lay it down
All on a Sunday
I wanna fly to the moon
I'll see the world from my room
All on a Sunday
I wanna live like the longest and curviest driveway
Tucked in bed no one knows that I've lost my mind
I wanna live just like you
I wanna feel like you do
I wanna lay it down
All on a Sunday
I wanna fly to the moon
I'll see the world from my room
All on a Sunday

Goodbye To Yesterday
When all that's good seems to wear you down
When the river is far and wide
And you can't stand up for falling down
You're a believer who's found they lied
And the past has your hands firmly tied
Try ... to find a way
Try ... to say goodbye to yesterday
Goodbye to yesterday ... say goodbye ...
When you push they push on you
It's hand to mouth and day to day
Do you have your baggage or do your bags have you?
You're doing fine - It's not too late
To lay your burden down and walk through heaven's gate
Try ... to find a way
Try ... to say goodbye to yesterday
Goodbye to yesterday
Say goodbye
You've got to find a way
To say goodbye ...

The Great Nothing
I: From Nowhere
II: One Note
One note timeless
Came out of nowhere
It wailed like the wind and night
It sought no glory
It added no meaning
Not even a reason why
No thought
No need to say something
No message to sell
It played without a buzz or a showing
Out of the great nothing
It came without fail
One man with his mind full
Trying to get somewhere
He thought, "Man this thing could fly!"
He had good intentions, even some feeling
He thought, "Lord, I've got to try ..."
No thought
He had to say something
His message would sell
He got a buzz without knowing
Into the great nothing
The boy slipped and fell
III: Come Up Breathing
Come up breathing
Up from the water
Man, he was so submerged
Where's the feeling?
It must be way under
Far from the spoken word
No, no - no corporate ladder
No hometown parade
The fat cats just keep getting fatter
What does it matter
The thing must be played .....
One note timeless .......
Don't let the buzz get you down
Don't lose your memory or you'll sink fast and drown
But you can't seem to sleep for the thoughts in your mind
Since you can't stand to think you have one hell of a time
Hanging with submergers you drink yourself blind
You think it's fine
You've got time ......
IV: Submerged
The boy has got potential
But he's never had commercial success
There's flies in his ointment
There's Stuyvesants and liquor on his breath
We'll have him charge the gate
We'll have to set him straight
We'll have him seal his future fate
Before it's too late
I worked with him closely
It must have been ten years ago
Of all the pains in the asses
He's the worst
I've had the bad taste to know
He's undirectable
Completely uncoachable
But perhaps we can put him
In an altered state
Before it's too late
V: Missed Your Calling
See the writing on the wall
Once the man who had it all
You threw it all away, look around and nothing's left
You've got nothing to forget
No golden yesterday
'Cause you missed your calling
You could have lived up in the sky
You missed your calling every time
Watch the lady throw the rune
Have her come up to your room
She comes from Montreal
There's no limelight only line
And Tequila's made you blind
It's time to lose it all
'Cause you missed your calling
You could have lived up in the sky
You missed your calling one more time
The boy has got potential
But he'll never have commercial success
We gave him good direction
But he always thought that he knew what's best
We tried to set him straight
His calls will have to wait
We tried to change his future fate
But now it's too late
Something keeps telling quiet now, quiet now - quiet now
Mother says quiet down, quiet down - quiet down .........
VI: The Great Nothing
One note timeless
Came out of nowhere
Just when all hope was gone
And nothing matters
But that it's breathing
It ends as it has begun
No thought
No need to say something
No message to run
From the ashes
Out of the great nothing
Without a buzz or a showing
Out of the great nothing
With nobody knowing
It plays on and on ...
