Incantations

She will possess you, she will hold you in her hand
And if she loves you she will take all that she can
I read a passage from her so-called book of love
And when I read those words darkness fell down from above
I got reservations about these incantations I don't know what they mean
And her imagination is becoming my reality
My hallucinations were caused by incantations now I feel what I see
And my imagination has become a liability
So when they found me I was naked and alone
And all that winter cold it had seeped into my bones
Sometimes I miss her though I'm happy to be free
Don't seek to burn her though she did the same to me
I got reservations about these incantations I don't know what they mean
And her imagination is becoming my reality
My hallucinations were caused by incantations now I feel what I see
And my imagination has become a liability
Dancing in the dark and drinking in the park til dawn
Drinking blood red wine - lose your sense of time
You'll be free - just like me

Still In Love With You
02:14

Sick to my stomach and the thought of you makes me shudder
Thinkin’ about those pretty big blue eyes makes my heart melt (like butter)
Why am I lying to myself, we can’t stand one another?
You wanna kill me but we can’t live without each other
Why did I pick someone I hate for my lover?
I don’t know why I keep going back for a taste
Something about you makes a guy like me go insane
I don’t wanna see you put your fingers up in quotation marks
I got the feeling that I’m dealing with a broken heart
I may not have thought this through but baby
I’m still in love with you
I’m still in love with you
Don’t wanna see you put your fingers up in quotation marks
I get the feeling that I’m dealing with a broken heart
After everything you put me though
I’m still in love with you

You're Not My Baby

You’re not my baby
Keep your hands to yourself
I don’t need nobody else
You’re not my baby
Yes I like the way you smile
Like to stay with you a while
But I gotta go and you know why
Yeah you know I got a Boo
Guess you wish that she was you
But you just better leave and walk on By
Saw you walk through the door
Saw you walk through the door
Looking at me looking over my shoulders wondering who it could be
Now the night time is almost through
And you came here for something to do
I will tell you, I will be true I will be

North Country Trail

I’m traveling on the North Country Trail
Where the snow is fallin’ heavy on the hemlock and the pines
Traveling on the North Country Trail
Gotta find my baby one more time
Breaking in new leather boots I traded for tobacco up in Duluth
Traded walking on rocky trails for walking in the clouds
Denim pants and mackinaw, a walking stick to keep me tall
Pistol at my side, Slinking in my stride
Gone gone gone gone, I left ‘em up there in their dancing song
Waters meet, but don’t have time to lose
Oh the lake wind
I haven’t felt my skin since I don’t know when.

I'm Shifting
02:53
|
|

I woke up from a bad scene tongue twisted and feeling mean
I drug myself on down the stairs and ran claw through my greasy hair
Hot town - summer in the city, basking in the dirt just to keep from getting itchy
And all the crazies on the street, spouting nonsense talking trouble to the heat
And I - I can't control what I see
And I - I've never felt so free
All my life I've been cold the grass is always greener or so I've been told
While I live you all sleep but the cost of living well it ain't that cheap
I live a life of fear Icke is always listening just to see what he can hear
Talisman around my neck - witches gave it to me told me that it would protect
And you - Define anything you see
And you - oh and YOU made a monster out of me
It's hard to live my life this way I'm always wondering just what say
I know you'd love to hunt me down You'll pick up your pitchforks and run me out of town
I'm shifting now I'm shifting
Fog is lifting and I'm shifting

Shadow Of The Sun

You were sure you were right about the robber, the Knight
Took a page from my book turned the pawn into crook
In the Shadow of the Sun the light can burn anyone
Who would open their eyes to the vivid bright lies
Can you see what I mean - Through your self imposed dream?
No one can make you want more than your loneliness as you stand on shore
In your mind you'll deny half the how and the why
On the trail you can slide with no help and your pride
Or you can come in from the cold if your ready I'm told
Meet an old friend - bring the fire - relax your mind and retire
Can you see what I mean - Through your self imposed dream?
No one can make you want more than your loneliness as you stand on shore

Mostly Clawdy
02:15
|
|

Looking out my window everyday thinking about you wondering how I can convey
How nervous that you make me feel socks and sweaters heavy weather on the real
We feel the bite come in the night The Clawds over our head
We draw the covers tight around the bed
See how quickly you can change your mind what was peaceful building up tension over time
Between us when you flash your teeth smiling sideways disregarding what's beneath
Your breath is warm before the storm the wind and rain released
The two together can unleash the beast
You're an Adult Baby can't reason with you maybe
I should take the good with the sad it's mostly Clawdy even when you are bad
Glad it's mostly Clawdy everyday (Gladys Mosely Cloudy)

In A World

There's a darkened feeling about you tonight
Unfamiliar shapes and shadows populate your mind
I know that what you want is security but don't lock that door if there is no key
You know that I'll be here yes I'm constantly
If you find your voice is failing and you see your thoughts are trailing behind
Je ne sais pas exactement mais il y a une obscurité
elle rende difficile à voir vous ne voulais pas d'être ici
I know that what you want is security but don't lock that door if there is no key
You know that I'll be there yes I'm constantly
If you find your voice is failing and you see your thoughts are trailing behind
When the world is touched with sorrow and you're fearing for tomorrow
Won't you reach out to me Darling I'm here to help you along
Don't you know that I'll be here anytime you get the fear
In a world of wonder in a world of fright
In a world of Lost ® perceptions we can find the light
I know that what you want is security but don't lock that door if there is no key
You know that I'll be here yes I'm constantly
If you find your voice is failing and you see your thoughts are trailing
Don't you know that I'll be here any time you get the fear
We can make it right before the morning light, can't we?

Bring The Fire
02:55

Can you see through the eyes that you've been handed or do I speak to you in tongues?
There's a place we all go for the answer and do you remember fun?
I heard you wonder aloud where it was that we were coming from
So I have to ask you now will we end before we have begun?
Bring the Fire from down by the river to the place that it always will burn
Take the flame that fades and then flickers in the end it will surely return
Build it up for the way that it breaks down change directions on a dime
You can sing til your eyes are tired and red but that's just some other time
I heard you wonder aloud where it was that we were coming from
So I have to ask you now will we end before we have begun?
Bring the Fire from down by the river to the place that it always will burn
Take the flame that fades and then flickers in the end it will surely return
Won't you bring the fire from down by the river?

Forgetting all that you know is it a place you should go?
Living a lie that you made know that the truth it will fade
Finding out where you should be knowing that no one is free
Watching the moons as they rise shadow the light on your eyes

The Midwest Beat Milwaukee, Wisconsin
The Midwest Beat have a modest approach: making good music. Jukebox-ready tunes that are mercilessly concise, relentlessly uptempo, and saturated in vocal harmonies. If anything, the average Midwest Beat song is overstuffed, a smidge too fast, too eager to please, too damn infectious. ... more
