Somewhere In The Middle

Fly On A Wall

Love is overrated
I'm afraid it's one big joke
Pin your heart on an atom bomp
Watch it blow up in a puff of smoke
You love her and she loves you
For a little while it's cake
You'll crawl on your belly like a reptile boy
And dig your own sweet grave
Done that, been there
Now I just don't care
No one touch me cause
I'm just a fly on a wall
High, high above it all
I never fall
I made my great escape
Give my broken heart a break
I'm just a fly on a wall
I've been left blind sided
Cut and dried, and tied in knots
Turned the other cheek, and was good to go
I just dusted myself right off
She hates you and you hate you
Color yourself red
You can't Mister Fix- It being sexual
Cause you're only banging heads
Done that, been there
Now I just don't care
No one can touch me cause
I'm just a fly on a wall
High, high above it all
I will never fall
I made my great escape
Give my broken heart a break
I'm just a fly on a wall

Wink And A Smile

I dug a comfortable hole
And silver lined it with the same old, same old
Mona Lisa put a spell on me
Gotta shake this lifeless tree
And get some peaches for the soul
Can't be so comlicated
To fly without a net
Come on push me baby
I'll dream right off the edge
I need a wink and a smile
I need to sink my teeth into a sweet ball of fire
I need a wink and a smile
And seein' the sight of you
coming down the miracle mile for me
Bring back the long and slow kiss
Don Juan, The Mystery and The Age Of Innocence
Read between the faded lines
Put up a sea of neon signs
Till you can see just what I miss
Give me some new temptation
To shake me from the core
A cherry variation
Of what we had before
I need a wink and a smile
I need to sink my teeth into a sweet ball of fire
I need a wink and a smile
And seeing the sight of you
coming down the miracle mile for me
Baby the sight of you is all the medicine I'll never need

Kisses Stain

It could have been the way
that she would flirt with me in private
Whispered her dirty little secrets
Till my eyes jumped out their sockets
How she pressed against me in her sundress
Crashed and burned my innocent child
With that smoke ring smile
Maybe she pretended when she told me
I was her greatest Valentino
Filled my head with junk from poets
I can still taste every moment – she's here
In the back of old tears
All and all a love comes easy
And after all it leaves so hard
Once upon a time ago she kissed me
Forever on my face
Can't be washed away
Cause kisses stain
Maybe I could fool myself in thinking
there was more than one believer
I was a fly in tender trappings
It was a nice dream while it tasted
How she left behind her souvenirs
And quietly disappeared into the haze
I keep her in the pain of my brain
All and all a love comes easy
And after all it leaves so hard
Once upon a time ago she kissed me
Forever on my face
Can't be washed away
Cause kisses stain

Better Day

Don't think I'm ready to die just yet
Down on Sweet Romaine
Gotta see those crimson colors fly
Grab another fist full of rain
And I never really thought about the better days
Or how the old men got so set in their ways
Invisible cities with invisible lives
So easy to ignore
The sun
It won't give up its light
It's waiting for a better day
And I
Can't stand another night
Waiting for a better day
Old men tell their stories
Tie em' up with 12 bar blues
(But) little boy lost keeps on dancin'
To the crazy rhythm of the broom
And I never really thought about the better days
I must've missed it when I turned away
Kathy's clown and the brothers two
Keep playin' in my head
The sun
It won't give up its light
It's waiting for a better day
And I
Can't stand another night
Waiting for a better day
Solo
This is my letter to the world
The world that never wrote to me
Sweet mothers majesty
Greetings – it's just me
Down on Sweet Romaine
The sun
It won't give up its light
It's waiting for a better day
And I
Can't stand another night
Waiting for a better day
The sun
It won't give up its light
It's waiting for a better day
And I
Can't stand another night
Waiting for a better day

Somewhere In The Middle

I cant'run from a heart I put my life into
And I can't hide because I wanna be found
But then I'm scared she won't like the man
I'm trying to become now
I feel small, when she speaks to me in tongues
If there's a message I'm too blind to hear it
I need a sign, unless time makes things better
Everyone hurts now and then
Some of us shine in the end
We all need some hope somewhere in the middle
My fence is down, the lines are blurred
I'll give up ground on just your word
We'll meet again somewhere in the middle
I'm not a saint I had my share of un forgiveness
I made mistakes that I'm not too proud to mention
We need a change cause I'm wasted from all the drama
Everyone falls now and then
Some of us turn in the end
We all need some hope somewhere in the middle
My fence is down, the lines are blurred
I'll give up ground on just your word
We'll meet again somewhere in the middle
I'll say goodbye to the old charade
Baby your smile is my saving grace
My fence is down, the lines are blurred
I'll give up ground on just your word
We'll meet again somewhere in the middle
I'll say goodbye to the old charade
Your smile is my saving grace
We'll meet again somewhere in the middle

That's What I'm Here For

Kathy's afraid of her new independence
She's thrown down the gloves
from a fight that ain't worth winning
Keeping the world at a safe distance
What doesn't kill you makes you strong
so they say
Rest your hurt on my shoulders
Custom made to carry the weight
That's what I'm here for
When you're shut out and the doors are closing
That's what I'm here for
I'll take on your salvation and put you right
Kathy's amazed at her broken reflection
She paints a brave face that seems almost convincing
Riding her hopes on some magic answer
Sometimes losing's like the last train out
A dime for some small talk
And crying out loud, maybe turn it around
That's what I'm here for
When you're shut out and the doors are closing
That's what I'm here for
I'll take on your salvation and put you right
What doesn't kill you makes you strong
so they say
Rest your hurt on my shoulders
Custom made to carry the weight

Somethin' From Nothin'

I was tripping through the madness
With a guidebook in my hand
Crossing all the burning bridges
In this hard forsaken land
There's asylum in the ashes
Where the sparkle angels damce
Something from noghting
Baby taht's what love can do
Something from nohing
Fill the hole inside of you
Does the longing make you wonder?
Does the game seem so surreal?
No one expects the perfect stranger
Who has nothing to conceal
Stealing beauty from the moment
That's where the poetry's revealed
Something from nothing
Baby that's what love can do
Something from nothing
Fill the hole inside of you
Love is surprising
Like finding pearls inside a shell
I was lost and somehow I found you

Over My Heart

I've been burned by love fooled by deception
Even though times have changed
I still feel the pain
I would hold back my true emotions
And if someone got close
I would change my direction
You walked into the picture
Right into my soul
I knew from the first night together
I never had a chance
I'm in over my heart this time
Didn't know how I could be so blind
I was playing it safe but I made a mistake
Ignoring the danger signs
I'm in over my heart
Over my heart this time
When you told me you loved me
I got lost for a minute
Tangled in silence
Nothing to say
I was in love but I didn't know it
The look on my face was a dead giveaway
You walked into the picture
Right into my soul
I knew from the first night together
I never had a chance
I'm in over my heart this time
And I can't get out of my mind
It's like I'm frozen in place
And I just can't run away
I'm in over my heart this time
Don't know how I could be so blind
I was playing it safe but I made a mistake
What knid of fool am I
I'm in over my heart
Over my heart this time
