Lyrics


Owl

“A wise old Owl sat in an Oak

the more he saw 

the less he spoke

the less he spoke 

the more he heard

why can’t we all be 

like that wise old bird?”

-writer unknown

Owl he felt 

so little he thought

in ideas Owl never got caught

Without a doubt 

he stayed true in the world

Don’t you wish we could 

all be like that wise old bird?

And there Owl sat 

in his Oak tree

looking at you looking at me

when he saw the things we do

he made himself heard:

-’You should try to be like me! 

I’m a wise old bird’

Why can’t you all be like me

Why can’t you all be like me

I’m a wise old bird!

When you hear him at night

singing who-who

all his really asking you is why.. tell me why...

..Why can’t you all be like me

I’m a wise old bird



Baby Boo Got Gone

Days keep turning

yesterday's gone

tomorrow's got everything

more for some

me I gotta learn 

to have and hold

and then let go

coz I can't afford your smile

tomorrow you'll be yesterday

Baby Boo will get gone

Some got plenty

some got none

one had and now it's gone

a few might get what they've never had

me I'm glad I got my own

though I could sure use your smile

but today turned to yesterday

Baby Boo got gone

I left all them burdens

that held me close to you

I feel pretty happy

even though 

Baby Boo got gone

Hey old friend

how are you?

why don't you drop me

a line sometime

I'd sure like to know

what you do when you feel alone

me myself i miss you some

if yesterday could be tomorrow

Baby Boo never been gone

Tomorrow always says I do

for richer and poorer

Baby Boo said bye, bye

and there ain't nothing I can do

but remember you like yesterday

oh, Baby Boo

If yesterday could be tomorrow

Baby Boo never been gone


Fallen Star

The moon looks so alone

hanging in the sky

or perhaps I'm the one

perhaps I see myself in her

tho I don't hang that high

neither do I glow - but I try


When I see the moon 

I catch myself

long for home

in some strange way

when i look at her

I feel as if I was a 

Fallen Star


A Fallen Star 

in a foreign place

trying to heal 

my broken rays

A Fallen Star 

perhaps we're all

each a Fallen Star


Tell me when you see 

the moon at night

do you feel

a longing so tight

as if you came

from up there

as if you were a Fallen Star


A Fallen Star 

in a foreign space

trying to heal

your broken rays

Twinkle to me once, baby

twinkle to me twice

if that's how you feel

when you see the moon rise

Perhaps we're all a Fallen Star

Perhaps we're each all a Fallen Star



Pilot Car


One road is paved

this one is not

just ups and downs

One road is cracked

filled with something black

and a little grass

some dead end

another tells you 

do not enter

it's hard to know

which way to go


chorus:

Ii got me a Pilot Car

I'm gonna find me

one good road

I'll go real far

in my Pilot Car


One road spirals down

to an under ground town

another hangs in the sky

some are one ways

with signs turned 

the wrong way


I can't make it right alone

so I'll just turn 

myself around


Chorus


won't you tag along

we'll ride on to

the good country 

in you and me

I know we'll go far

in my Pilot Car


I'll find my own way

i'll just read the signs

they say keep on

keep on going

pavement will end soon

things do change

tho given roads 

are hard to find

that's the one i'll be on


chorus


Follow me in my Pilot Car

we'll go real far

you and me

and my Pilot Car


               



Funky Rattle

I didn’t say

you got it bad

but what you got

I wont have

I don’t like

the way you wanna hang

oh, now baby..

you no man


you got a funky rattle

you better tune yourself up


it’s what you do

that don’t fly

see I know

what you hide

oh, you smooth

kinda smooth and sly

hey now darlin’

ya can’t make me cry


you got a funky rattle

you better tune yourself up

oh, you talk

like you the cock of the walk

but hear you limpin’

by dark

oh, now baby I need it 

straight up

clear cut and clean

I don’t do no funky rattles

I prefer me one good drum


if you got a funky rattle

don’t be shakin’ it at me

Just tune yourself up



Take A Step


When you  take a step

and you lift your foot

you gotta let go

of the ground for a bit

Hey you can't forget

that when you take a step

wherever you were gotta disconnect

Chorus:

And it might take time

to get used to the new ground

it might take time

to put your foot back down

Make a move sugar do the walk

 I don't care if ya skip and trip

just pick it up stomp and shake away

I know you wont look back

chorus

bridge:

go on take a step

a new start is so easy to get

come on lift your foot

Take A Step

When you've found the ground

and you're all back down

a move is made

your all in line

in line to gear 

gear up for another

another foot back down


Quantcast

Who's Got Their Soul?


People walking

down the street

so smooth 

they smile and greet

they love you to death

with their needy smiles

as they stare into your eyes


chorus:

they want to get close

they want to know

who's got their soul

People dancing in the bar

to the beat of their

childhood scar

searching for that

lovin' daddy's kisses

that went too far


chorus


Sleepy people won't get up

why don't ya get up

big people little people

copy cats and dogs

So many people

outside my window

running in packs of pain

numbed by illusion

and fundamental shame

someone will save them

someday

if you lost yourself somewhere

don't look at him

don't look at me

where oh,where 

might you be?

i don't want you close 

cos you don't know 

who's got your soul

Glitter Girl

Can’t help but be what I am

you just gotta understand

I’m a Glitter Girl 

I rule my world

To cover up 

would cramp my way

it don’t matter what they say

I’m a Glitter Girl

I rule my world 

Dawn falls into the arms 

of a million stars - so do I

Nothing wrong 

to be all heart

nothing wrong to let love

Lighten up  -  look at me

I’m as real as can be

additive & cruelty free

 

I’m no fool’s gold

heaven don’t put me down 

Glitter Girl’s what I am

Dawn falls into the arms

of a million stars - and so do I

Nothing wrong to be all heart

nothing wrong to let love

I go rockin’ and rollin’

dancing in the light

You know I’m down to earth

and above the sky

I’m a Glitter Girl - like a big bird - Free to fly

Got a bright glow on the inside

a glitter girl can’t hide

Box Of Prayers

This is where I keep 

a wheel of fortune

This is where I keep 

my dreams

This is where I keep

all my recycling

This is where i keep myself

In a box of prayers

This is where I keep

lucky dimes and chimes

This is where  keep 

away from pain

This is where I keep 

the news at eleven

This is where I keep myself

In a box of prayers

This is a space for me and you

and all the other ones to..

In a box of prayers

This is where I keep 

lost and found

This is where I keep 

hoping it’ll be OK

This is where I keep everyday

This is where I keep myself

In a box of prayers

This box I made 

all those times I’ve fallen

This box I made 

of forgotten things

This box I made 

to remember all the reasons

Why I keep myself

why I keep myself

In a box of prayers



HeartBreaker's Post


I have a face of bark

not much to look at

rings of age

and a lovers

carved heart

my hands are tinder

when lonely nights 

won't burn

I am but the 

heartbreaker's post


They come and go

I watch them pass love by

to hold turns to have

and having suffocates

they go chasing the flames

until they're all consumed

and they break my heart


'So come dance with me, Katarina

the wind feels so smooth'

Boy whispers to girl

and the Pine Tree sighs

'I'm to old for this'


I watch I wait

for their mute truth

to speak

I tremble in the silence

where their souls

stay tucked to sleep

They're just like the willow

stuck weeping by the stream

they move so smooth

but they can't stand still


'Oh, Katarina

I don't really dance

but i do carve a heart 

pretty well'

and the old pine mutters

'love don't look like that'


love is hard

when your heart can't beat

the dream

it's just a wistful

pounding in your head

and harder it is

when you think 

that's the way

as love and life passes you by



Phoenix Dragon heat


I'd sure let you love me

I'd let you stay too

cos when the fireflies 

are blue

and it gets real old

i need somebody like you


where the fishes 

do that jumping

and the sweet-grass

fills the breeze

some midsummer eve


oh, nothing get old

with someone like you


chorus:

you got that good heat

that phoenix dragon heat

it always rises above

what is lost

that phoenix dragon heat


who would have known

that ashes and heartache

could turn so good

i'm so into you

i gotta get closer to you

you baby you

with that

phoenix dragon heat


chorus


nothing can get ya

so i probably won't

fireflies are always blue

and i am too

until i get closer to you

i need that heat 

that good heat

that phoenix dragon heat
