- Detour Sign
Blue in the heart, blue in the face
Black and blue from running this race
Blue is the color that you must embrace
I blew it up, blew it up
Blew the kindle on the cake with my mouth
Blew a hundred kisses and sent him down south
How will I know if the road is closed
- Glowing Heart
I lost you in the broken twilight
Underneath the California sky
You quivered in the dark and then took flight
If I'd have known which way you headed
I'd have strapped on wings and hit the night
But your incandescent beam was out of sight
- Hornets
There ain't nothin' left for me here
I gotta get out
Spent the better part of twenty-nine years
Just tryin' to get out
Got no one runnin' after me
Pray these two feet carry me south
Then out of the corner of my eye
- Jupiter
Write me a letter write it by hand
Tell me everything you wanna
Do before the end
I think we’ll make it another seventy years
At a hundred and one the only
Color we’ll see is clear
This future’s blacker than a black hole
- Lucky Star
Oh, oh, in California the summer's always cold
Feels more like the Poconos in June
I ran away too soon
I'll come back, pick me up, be waiting on the tarmac
Why do they pack the airplanes like sardines and millennial queens?
If I had a little money I would go somewhere
Just a couple coin in the bottom of a mug
Would make me feel like I'm almost there
- Oh, Mama
When I was a barmaid, you were my mead
When I was a brave knight, you were my steed
When I was so lonesome I wanted to cry
You came to me in the night
You cried, 'oh Mama, sing me a love song'
Pour me some bourbon and lay me down low
And ooh baby, my poor heart is breaking
- Phoenix
Time's not the villain, coming up behind you is a marigold sun
Love if you're willing, take a little more time
I smell fire, it's coming from the flames
That are dancing on my wings
I'm a bird on a wire killing time
Fever's got me shaking, it rises up like a road to meet me
Fever's got me quaking like San Andreas Fault
Just put a cloth to my brow, I'll soar like a phoenix from the ashes
- Porch Light
The darkest night I ever seen
It was the night you came to me
on your knees whispering 'I'm sorry'
Keeping time with your heartbeat
I danced along on two left feet
You kissed my cheek
and left me on a city street.
- Stanley Park
See that gull on the old sea wall
Some birds fly and others fall asleep
To the beating of their wings
The wind sings, the wind sings
See that babe at her mother's breast
If I could, I'd take my rest
Back in the belly from where I came
