FAVOURITE LYRICS: 

“Could you call a doctor who can stop by at nine?

Well I planned this day for dying
But now I’m feeling fine…its too late(its over)
Can’t you feel these dreams (it’s over)
Message to the queen (it’s over)
The Baby stops breathing (it’s over)
Can’t you feel these dreams?
It’s over

The Creature is walking
The Creature is.

I’ve got to find a new passage way
I’ve got to get home by Saturday
Queen to Castle, Church to Nun
What a wicked web I’ve spun
I’ve go to get home by Saturday
So I have to find a new passage way
I’ve got a car with no place to go
‘How bout a little fire scarecrow?’”

sprout wings and hop an airplane or drive west and feel the air change

I meet them at a bar and fall in love with who they are
And how they drink me underneath the ground”

“And you hit the town,

and you hit the bottle hard,
you race ‘round in your fancy cars and you blow all your money,
on brothels, beds, and bars,
before you know your broken times get hard…

I still stand here waiting,
with my eyes fixed on the road,
and I fight back tears and I wonder,
if you’re ever coming home,
don’t you know son that I love you,
and I don’t care where you’ve been,
so please come home.

And now you’ve hit bottom,
all those open doors have shut,
and you’re hungry stomach’s tied in knots,
but I know what you’re thinking,
that you troubled me enough,
nothing could ever separate you from my love..”

FAVOURITE LYRICS:

“If you’re lucky they’ll turn out as good as you 

You tell them that they’re good kids but you know it isn’t true 
Your father drank a little; you’re on liver number two 
Progress has a way of feigning ease 
Convenient new inventions bait the tease 
For though it is impossible to cure: 
A husband bent on cheating 
The oxygen depleting 
A child who’s always bragging 
A wife’s persistent nagging 
We’re equipped to live as though it were”

crushing gently
sweetly nightly from His house upon the sea.

Make it alright…”
