(stream of consciousness)
Sit down - put your feet back on the ground
Sit down - put your feet back on the ground
The train has passed
There's not a sound
Sit down - let your thoughts whittle down
Sit down - let your thoughts whittle down
The train has already passed by
Pretty soon you won't even remember why
Why you slid her wrist
Why you tried to kiss
Why you had a gun
Oh, doesn't everyone?
Sit down - plant your feet right back on the ground
Sit down - plant your feet back right on the ground
Pretty soon you won't hear a sound
Not the sound of the night, as fallen
Not the way that you thought you were going
Not the way things turned out
Well .. isn't it what it's all about?
Sit down - plant your feet back on the ground
Sit down - plant your feet back on the ground
Pretty soon you won't hear a sound
Pretty soon there's nobody else around
No one to call your name
No one to tell you you've insane
No one to say: come-on, get that house
No one to say: why ... you messed around
No one to say: why .... you never took that job
No one to say that you could have been hot
Now you're talking man ... no doubt
No one to say that you flirt and flaunt

(stream of consciousness)
There I was, undetected
Running like the fire
I was deeply un-alerted
To what was going inside your mind
All them thoughts were wondering
About who I was, and who you are
Like a herd of cows goes warnding
Looking for an opening, in the sky
Then I heard the wind calling
And it wasn't calling your name
I saw the river flowing
Didn't take me to where I came
The sun was rising
This time from the west
I was petrifying
To the whole world, and to you, my best
Here we are alone in the desert
And I got me about two chords
The third one seems to be missing, or is it present
From my voice, or from it all
Yet, I'm still rambling
Like them good old days
I see the clipping red light showing
Is it a sign that you're not there
Not thinking about tomorrow
Not thinking about you
Not thinking about pain or sorrow
Not thinking about you my friend
Not thinking about the sky
Not thinking about that river
Not thinking about them clouds
Not gone for ever
Just here and now
Just here and now
Just here and now
Just here and now

Are You Tired?

(stream of consciousness)
It's cold here at night
And I'm not asking for a fight
I just want to be at home
You might think that I'm afraid
To call you names, to befriend
I'm just trying to be at home
Is it a crime? is it a sin?
Is that something you've never seen?
Is that a face you're making?
Or are you ... just afraid?
I'm not trying to be brave
I'm not trying to get it all, to save
I'm just trying to be at home
'Cause everything we've said and done
May wash away, may be gone
And I'm just trying, to get home
Are you crying? are you sad?
Is this the life you thought you had?
Are you feeling the same pain I'm in?
Are you feeling all alone?
Waiting for me to pick up the telephone?
Are you tired of being alone?
Are you tired? are you all alone?
Are you sitting, right now, by the telephone?
Are waiting? or are you gone?
Is it the right to call you now?
Or should I wait until you'll tell me somehow?
Are you feeling all alone?
'Cause in a moment
I'll be gone

Walk Away (demo)

Quietly you go astray
Sneaking through the alleyways
Never mind the price
You’ve always paid
Surely you would find a way
To overcome the dealer's hand
Fold them pairs
No need here to pretend
Always right, never wrong
You’re the man, now sing us a song
Quietly just walk away
From her
She’s been gentle, she’s been kind
Notebook says that she’s a find
Quietly just walk away
From love
