Do you ever stop to count all the invitations At the end of the day when it comes down to one decision Of dead beat girls and freaks at a People's Convention All these sugars with no vitamin sensation Do you ever stop to look over old relations Or look to the belly of another one's emotions Someone young in the winds of a revolution Trying to save his face in the evolution

He's kept alive in the chain of mental starvation Bone rail skinny, only feeding off frustration Unlike you who seem bred from corruption Feeding off the plates of an ununited nation Asleep at the wheel, no windshield But you know that the streets here don't change With a lover in the street whose waiting to make a connection To be the mother to the soul of your next abortion She'll steal your money with the eyes of a baby's complexion Then she'll laugh at you and your sexual invention Smelling like a rose, in the flowers of devotion Devoted the heat of a spotlight in motion With a face full of mud even though you were only joking As if you really understood the value of isolation Asleep at the wheel, no windshield But you know that the streets here don't change Your tongue so fast like a freight train coming on rollin' Every smile you give's just to keep your mouth from clothin' Every engine burns as a sign of the explosion Locked in neutral your engines are broken Like candle wax that sun melts into the ocean Like the moon that lights the tracks of the old train station You can color in the lines of mother earth's addictions And not hold a gun in the face of the earth's abduction Asleep at the wheel, no windshield But you know that the streets here don't change

I told you so God bless the void of my daydreams Back in the snow making angel wings Slow motion dancing lights have gone Sail beneath the burning yellow sun I'm calling out to the deep ends of my bones Time says nothing back but I told you so I told you so Still waters rising in my mind, black and deep Smoke behind my eyes, last night I could not sleep at all I hallucinated that you were in my arms To be in your heart I filled my own Love says nothing back but I told you so

Solo over verse chords
I'm still here and climbing every rung If someone saw something now someone speak up Back over the rotted bridge I cross Open up these graves, let these bodies talk I'm buried under leaves blood red and gold Death says nothing back but I told you so I told you so....

Shy Of The Moon

G
Pretty little girl on the side of the road Yellow hair in a yellow bow Little thumb stickin' in the exit lane Two packs of smokes and a candy cane
C
Woman hips, baby lips
G
A hallelujah book in the back of the pick up stick
D
If she gets out of here too soon
G
She'll run fast by the shy of the moon She's been having the same old dreams Lullabies and pale blue skies Fallin' asleep beneath the stars Orion aims and shoots his arrows Oh so far, he aims at heart He shoots the moon and takes it as his own reward If she's gonna see them stars too soon She'll run fast by the shy of the moon
Solo
She found out so long ago, she wants more than all she knows The river ends right as she goes Water breaks and she's gone down In the only tone She's below I'll stand tall and hold up high my mistletoe If she's gonna shine just like brand new So take my hand and we'll run by the shy of the moon
