You make me so confused Between truth and lies You don’t pull the trigger Till you see the whites of my eyes It should come As no surprise The Devil’s in the Details Sometimes you say Yes But you really mean No Sometimes you say Stop But you really mean Go I think I understand But I never really know The Devil’s in the details The Devil made me do it I had my chance But I blew it The Devil made me do it It was wrong And I knew it

Got Me Wondering Who is this girl with the golden hair? I’d like to talk but I wouldn’t dare I saw her I was standing in a Muni train I was soaked, I was dripping, I’d been caught in the rain Her hair was in braids she had a painted eye She had an old bike and a younger guy You run with the hares and you run with the hounds You got me wondering It seems to me that you own this town You got me wondering You run with the hounds and you run with the herd You got me wondering I’m sure that you know that this is absurd You got me wondering I saw her last week at Dolores Park I had to get home it was getting dark I saw her at a restaurant just the other day She doesn’t have to wait she just gets her way I saw her at the airport she was dressed to the nines Is this the same woman I see all time?

Whistling Past the Graveyard We’re eating our seed corn Burning all our tools Future generations Will regard us as fools We build the tower higher Fueled by so much debt We’ll reach the end of the rope But we haven’t quite yet Our empire in decline Hoist by our own petard We line up for new iPhones (We watch the Real Housewives) Whistling past the graveyard Times are changing We may be going down hard We settle down for the Superbowl (We try to hit the powerball) Whistling past the graveyard Willfully ignorant We confuse desire and fact We’ve frozen the gears Without the courage to act We’re closing our eyes To what’s going on Don’t notice the train leaving Till it’s already gone It’s not too late It’s not too late This is my plea It’s not too late

We Are Alive 04:42
We Are Alive Everybody’s got a story to tell Everybody’s got something to sell Why won’t they just let me be? Everybody’s gotta talk some trash Everybody’s got their hands on my cash Why won’t they just let me be? We are alive We are alive Everybody’s says what’s on their mind Everybody’s running out of time Why won’t they just let me be? Everybody thinks they’re owed a living Everybody could be more forgiving Why won’t they just let me be? We’re all just doing our best Trying to find our way We could all just use some rest Fight again another day but...

Bad Check 03:58
Bad Check I thought you knew better Then to come to me again You’ve played this card before And I’m no longer your friend I thought you knew better Then to come to me like this But you’ve got nobody else You’re on the edge of the abyss I thought you knew better But I guess that I was wrong I can’t erase the past Life just rolls along You wrote me A bad check But you’re gonna pay You wrote me A bad check Like the night gives way to day You think that money (money!) Grows on trees But you're gonna pay You think you can do What you please But you're gonna pay (Hear the 909 play) You tell me what you did Then you tell me what to do You say that it’s so hard This life you're living through But if you don't have your word Then you are truly poor If you don't understand by now Well I can't tell you more I see you for who you are Not for who you want to be You act like a user Trying to feed off of me It easy enough to see That the well is running dry Can't get blood from a stone Don't care how hard you try

Meeting My Deliverables The time for discussion is over The time for talking has passed The time when I have to deliver Has come at last It doesn’t matter how smart I think I am It doesn’t matter what I’ve done This is where it all comes together Where word and deed are one This is the time when I have to deliver This is the time when I have to produce I’ll be meeting my deliverables There will be no excuse I went to school for 22 years You know that I’ve been trained for this Now I just have to get it done This is a duty I will not dismiss I’m doing something I believe in Something that needs to be done I need to prove that I can do this I need to prove that I’m the right one Sometimes you have to dig deep Sometimes you lose a little sleep But climbing a mountain wouldn’t satisfy If the slope weren’t at least a little steep

Everybody’s Searching Everybody’s searching for What we have Everybody wants A hand to hold Everybody’s searching for A smiling face Everybody wants To come in from the cold Everybody’s searching Everybody wants to find Everybody’s searching For what we found Everybody’s searching For a place to belong Everybody’s searching For solid ground Everybody wants To make right from wrong I am so lucky More blessed every day I hit the jackpot What more can I say?

Master of My Heart It’s nice to believe Good things come to those who wait But you always have that fear You’re already too late You are the master of my heart I just try to play my part You are the master of my heart You made my life start Sometimes your destiny Is just right where you are Sometimes your true life Isn’t really that far I thought I had it all I thought I was happy But when I finally had something to lose My heart did not belong to me

Nobody’s Listening I was sitting in a cafe Saw the most curious sight Everyone was talking at once Something just didn’t seem right There didn’t seem to be two sides No one was nodding their head Where was the meeting of the minds Acknowledgement of what was said? We’re all talking But nobody’s listening No one cares to close the loop We’re all talking But nobody’s listening All about status in the group It’s not about communication It’s about getting there first It’s not about being the best But not being the worst You can’t win every argument Sometimes you’re gonna lose You can’t fight all the battles You gotta pick and choose There are too many writers Not enough readers Too many people writing songs Not enough people humming along

Sympathetic Oscillation Your emotional field lines Extend through me The smallest vibration Is coupled easily I know how you’re feeling With just the slightest look I know what goes on inside I read you like a book You can tell when I’m down When I need a helping hand We know the world around us Is a castle built on sand Sympathetic Oscillation Cannot be undone Doesn’t matter how far away We still feel as one Your frequency pulls me To the same wavelength Your care and understanding Are what give me strength People sometimes wonder If there is meaning to all this But to be connected to your heart That’s the perfect kiss There is no you There is no me In our sympathetic oscillation There is only room for we
