Hawks
Everytime I turn my head downtown
The walls spitting fire
Far away from the stars
Everytime I turned my head downtown
Winds kept on blowing
Water flows through the dark
Don’t show doubts in the streets of my town
‘Cause you can succeed
And find a place by the stars
I looked for you in the bars of our town
Where have you been gone?
Don’t put your head in the jar
Hawks are circling through the skies of downtown
Take away all the wasted time
You’re broke with no dime
Hawks are circling through the skies of downtown
Say goodbye farewell
Where to be you can’t tell

Void
You’re like a carrousel
And words jump on and off
You’ve never been in charge
You need morphine to quaff
Is it alright
To be not proud of yourself
Who inspired you
Didn’t you learn by someone else
No one is to blame
For the numbness in your head
You’re like a covered painting
Stored in the dark ahead
Hang in there for a while
Watch the shadows on the rocks
I saw the exit sign
Beside honey colored blocks
Water travels through
Flood fossils and crystalline
Begins to solidify
To ice up LA Basin

Shady Lawns
Time has told me who you are
I can’t get closer to you
Our paths will never cross again
I know some truth will always be
And worms get dressed occasionally
I won’t let them follow me all my way
Hey my friend is there anybody out to talk to
Hey my friend don’t you miss those shady lawns
I know your will lasts longer
You should keep it out of your way
But don’t be sad until tomorrow
I’m sure you’re released from a huge pain
And clutch the nails before you slay
Myself trapped all in sorrow
Hey my friend is there anybody you can talk to
Hey my friend is there anybody you’d like to see
No delays we’re absent let it come around and in our ways
Nowadays nasty signs are all displayed there’s no decay
So you can’t be late, cause it’s all gained, it’s all gained
You can’t be late, ‘cause it’s all gained
It’s all gained you can’t be late, ‘cause it’s all gained you can be late

See myself
I can’t tell what’s going on
‘Cause I only see myself
Billion worlds are passing by
Shaking grounds and vanishing the sky
Tell me when this will be gone
Tell me this isn’t for too long
Nobody has ever tried
To mix together what I have done
I’m sad to hear your time has come
Like a jet plane fast
You’re now pretty done
Tell me when this will be gone
Tell me this isn’t for too long
Tell me when this will be gone
Tell me this isn’t for too long
You know I’m solid and I’m sound
Imprisonment is our common ground
You know I’m solid and I’m sound
Imprisonment is our common ground
You know I’m solid and I’m sound
Imprisonment is our common ground
You know I’m solid and I’m sound

Stops
Goodbye to sea and sand
Every season finds its end
Leaving the states seeing known gates
And those who have changed
It’s fifteen stops to the sea
And there is no master key
To come off the jetty’s green
When concrete is all you’ve seen
Clouds and mountain peaks
Can be checked for leaks
Aren’t they still the same
Drawn without a frame
Sweating in the heat
Can’t change to another beat
Children well behaved
Get their names engraved

Path
Can’t wash my dirty gloves
In the kitchen sink
Can’t take my coat back home
Because it starts to sink
My thoughts are going back
All into my past
When I was sad and scared
And chose to walk a wrong path
I was looking for my soul
And traveled as far as I could
I tried to understand
Which glue holds together the hood
You can’t bear a knife in a gunfight it will be melted away
You can’t bear a knife in a gunfight cut off your bootlace and walk away
Now as I’m getting old
Some things start to be ok
There’s no one I could blame
Personalities getting faded away
I saw that smile on your face
That told me you’re alright
I admire you for being strong
That helped me keep my thoughts kind of tight
You can’t bear a knife in a gunfight it will be melted away
You can’t bear a knife in a gunfight cut off your bootlace and walk away

Mr. Lee
Hey Mr. Lee
What’s up on at Atlantic Avenue
As far as I see
Being a DJ is what you do for a living
The M field is done
It’s tough to keep business going on
How would it be if they had
Always street fairs on the lawn
Sunlight is shining bright on the Lower Bay
Its fun to see
That all these people are coming out of nowhere
Mod bands play along
Musicians arise with the crowd
That doesn’t belong
To our hood nor in the base of your bong
Hey Mr. Lee
The earth is surrounded by twinkling beats
Caused by magnetic fields
That are rocking the streets
Starlight is shining bright on the Lower Bay
It’s fun to see
That all these people are coming out of nowhere

Cornets & Drums
I dropped some of the bullets
In the shot glass
I found it by the sound
Of your gun
The flat farmland
Was covered with dear skirt
Where gray clouds
Come close to the hunn
I know they are paying attention
And you try to sell yourself well
But you won't fit into those drawers
And boundaries start to blaze with the bell
Ohio with music strong I come
Salvation bring your cornet and your drum
Geese are starting to chatter
Malls are lit up by Black Friday sky
Well aligned they’re going together
Twenty birds are baked in a pie.
It’s not worth having this crisis
Even if it’s loneliness you go through
Start to buy yourself some new things
Broken mirrors can be glued
Ohio with music strong I come
Salvation bring your cornets and your drum
Ohio with music strong I come
Salvation bring your cornets and your drum
Bring your cornets and your gun

Eternal Worrier
Expecting the worst
Eternal worrier
Things are ok so far
Snow is covering your shoes
Changing black to white
Another dawn's in sight
Why are you doing this to us
‘Cause the devil told you so
You just got to go
You've seen it all
Without saying anything
Youth will have its fling
An American dream
Escalators through the skies
You’ve got your own device
Times running out
One more card left to play
On a bright light New York day
