car alarm goes off right beside me, a person sleeping in a bus stop yeahhh…
Wave at a friend as she beeps and drives on by, walk right by an undercover cop
It’s been a long cold winter, maybe the spring is finally here…
I don’t know just where I’m going, but I sure know where I’ve been
Walking around high and wide-eyed, looking for my only friend
Nicollet Avenue smiled at me and I smiled right back
Last night the city smiled at me and I smiled right back
Yearning for subconscious feelings shining under broken streetlights
Last night the city smiled at me and I smiled and I smiled right back
Catch a dealer’s eye on the corner, flash some money in my fingers
(lead) boys dressed like girls by the liquor store, my gaze always lingers
Nicollet Avenue smiled at me and I smiled right back
Last night the city smiled at me and I smiled right back
Yearning for subconscious feelings shining under broken streetlights
Last night the city smiled at me and I smiled and I smiled right back
I know this city can scare away, a soul that’s full of fear
But I don’t feel like I belong anywhere, that’s why I feel safe here
Nicollet Avenue smiled at me and I smiled right back
Last night the city smiled at me and I smiled right back
Yearning for subconscious feelings shining under broken streetlights
Last night the city smiled at me and I smiled and I smiled right back
I can’t take this fucking city, rots you from the inside out
Some days I know what I’m doing, some days I’m full of doubt
It’s been a long cold winter, maybe spring is almost here

Spin Your Wheels

Words don’t mean a thing but then again words mean everything
You just hang around I watch you burn burn burn
Spin your wheels you know it turns me on
Spin your wheels ‘cause summer’s almost gone
Spin your wheels and make the engine scream
It’s a perfect day and life is like a dream
Looks don’t mean a thing but then again looks mean everything
You just slouch around I watch you burn burn burn
Spin your wheels you know it turns me on
Spin your wheels ‘cause summer’s almost gone
Spin your wheels and make the engine scream
It’s a perfect day and life is like a dream
And I can’t fall asleep and I can’t wake up
I’ve spiralleds in so deep I’m so deep inside this love

No sense of time Saturday morning
Walking all alone new day is dawning
Sidewalk people slipping by
I’ll catch a cab waste my day downtown
I got some change in my pocket see you around
Another day just slipped away
Stop in a small café to fantasize
Every face is an idea to realize
midtown traffic picking up picking up…
One day you wake up and you’re gone
One day you wake up and you’re gone
Been out walking all night long
One day you wake up you wake up wake up
I’ve got a burning to find a new line yeah
Days just keep sliding by and they weigh on my mind
Is there time to start again
I’d go to Amsterdam live life on the streets
Maybe work in a restaurant washing plates
Vanish to some other place
And the sun’s coming up

Drugstore Cowboy

flying when you tell me you can’t do this anymore
You thought of walking away at the last drugstore
You miss our little girl you miss your mom and dad
feel it deep inside the next one’s going bad
But we belong together
we’re gonna live forever
And the highway’s never gonna be done
The next score’s gonna be the golden one (downward/level)
Dying when I think of doing this alone
You say you’re tired and you just wanna go home
5 years of your life is gone and you can’t get them back
That’s what scares you, the years never come back
But we belong together
we’re gonna live forever
And the highway’s never gonna be done
The next score’s gonna get us higher than the sun (up)
Higher than the sun
We’re the golden ones…
It’s dark in the alley and a crowbar opens the door
The silent alarm goes off as I slide the tools across the floor
I wait for your footsteps but all I hear is the cold cold wind blowing
As the sirens came closer in the distance I knew you were going
You’’ll move to a little town and get a little job
And someday someone will call about a pharmacy that’s been robbed
Never say you knew me no matter who comes knocking
Just smile and think of the drugstore cowboy who never stopped rocking
I’m not coming down never
And I’m gonna live forever
And the highway is my best and only friend
And someday I will come for you and we’ll start again
We’re gonna start again
You’re my only friend

for all the dead junkies

For all the dead junkies and dreamers everywhere
Drowning in the dissonance going nowhere
I hear you talk of dying for your art
Your Lower East Side Cool just falls apart
Pin-eyed hookers on Delancey Street whisper sweet nothings at you in the dark
Reflections on the edge of a knife flicker like a candle
Sometimes all the twists and turns are more than I can handle
In the strobe lights of the club I ask “haven’t we met?”
And I see her blood red tattoo as I pour her into bed
The ecstacy we took is coming on
We’ve got forever ‘til we see the dawn
Somewhere on a rooftop a saxophone plays out it’s long lonesome song
Reflections on the way a life turned out play across my mind
But if there’s a better way out it’s more than I can find
Life happen so fast except me I’m in slow motion
My own secret Jesus part shame part devotion
3 lovers of mine have the plague
I look so good though I’m dressed in rags
I hustle tricks for $20 bags while I fly my freak flag
You’ve got your safe little life and yeah I’m happy for you
But me I’m a slut and I’m a whore, there’s nothing I won’t do…
For those who still dream
For all the newborn babies
For those who’s inner child screams
For all the dead junkies

Snow is falling from the sky in Stevens Square she pulls her jacket around her face a little tighter
Sleeping in doorways where the streetlights do not reach a little boy with a girl inside of her
But on the avenue she turns it on for kicks in a blonde wig and glitter on her face
She’s in a car and then she’s underneath some guy but $50 makes the darkness a brighter place
Everybody makes the choice they have to make fuck up the past and all you have is the future
Born into a world where noone knows your name but a pretty girl, the men stand up and salute her
She goes away inside her mind when things get bad, far away where nothing can touch her
All she knows is when she’s a boy then noone cares, when she’s a girl everybody wants her
Always something in your head….
Always something in your head….
Cinderella Sparkle Jet….
Always something in your head….
Even though you can’t go back home
There’s plenty of people who will give you a home
Forget about the streetlife that you’ve known
put away that gun away and go back home

cambria sunset

Feel like I’m standing on the edge of the world
Mind-blowing sunset takes away my words
Lost the car in Joshua Tree in a twisted metal wreck
Came so far to finally see the Cambria sunset
Hand in hand on the Moonstone Beach
This whole life seems so out of reach
And I don’t think I ever wanna go home
California makes me feel like I’m not alone
Fog rolls in at night driving down from Big Sur
5:00 am and I’m still high but the night sky is clear
I can smell my lover last night’s memory on my clothes
If we’ll ever meet again only the winding road knows
Wandering on the Moonstone Beach
This whole life seems so out of reach
And I don’t think I ever wanna go home
California makes me feel like I’m not alone
Look at the sunset baby…
Looking out the window of my friend’s home on the sea
can’t recognize the reflection looking back at me
Could I be happy here ditch the city head
Get a job washing dishes and find a friendly bed
If a bag of money were to fall out of the sky
A safe place to pitch a tent somewhere warm and dry
What if there are no jobs and there was no happy end
I’d have to walk out into the sea and never come back again
Nighttime spinning on the Moonstone Beach
This whole life seems so out of reach
And I don’t think I ever wanna go home
California makes me feel like I’m not alone
