Twilight talkin
c. 2004



You’ve been
twilight talking
tightrope walking
on the pills you jones’d today


Keep that
tear you’re hiding
go on easy riding
(the highways and the byways)


take a tour like before,
face down on the floor
Will you wonder when it’s over
If you wish you would have told her


My darling you
I’ve had enough
your fairy tales
only fool yourself


If I pick you up, baby please don’t let me down,
Can’t you hear that groove, that’s the sound of a life lost and found
C’mon and fly away
to where you’ve never been, leave your violin,
C’mon and fly away with me
Time and time again
smile while we sin



You’ve been
laughing louder
don’t you wish you had her
easy life
like cutting with a ginzu knife


Keep on
reading fables
cause you were never able
to lose your mind
(don’t you think) it’s about time


Go on and roll the dice,
pay the higher price,
don;t you wonder when it’s over
will she still long for you to hold her



My darling you
I’ve had enough
your fairy tales
only fool yourself


If I pick you up, baby please don’t let me down,
Can’t you hear that groove, that’s the sound of a life lost and found
C’mon and fly away
to where we’ve never been, leave your violin,
C’mon and fly away with me
Time and time again
smile while we sin


C’mon and fly away C’mon and fly away
