You came into
town
Into my life
again
Through all that we
had been through
Through all those
days that we’ve seen
*Stop dreaming into
me
Stop screaming into
me
Stop believing it’s
always me
You and I will never
tire
The train is here and
my desire
But you just walk on
by
And I just try to
ignore
*
I guess that we’ve
spent our hour
On this dance without
a shout
To continue a life
with me
The dream we’ll never
see
*
by pete
Take a number for
your slumber
And believe in
me
Must you go so
soon?
Must you
dream?
*All for your wanting
All for your
needing
All for your
dreams
To be
there
Blue and the
loneliest number
Fame for your
future
Screaming because the
night
*
Not a latchkey
kid
Not in it for
me
Not in it for
anything other than me
For you
anything
For you
everything
*
There are a million
things I’ve forgotten
There are so many
more to come
So be with me in your
slumber
To
dream
*
by pete
Time a lot smile a
lot
Trailing spilled
sweet thinking
Not about to turn
sour
Still counting on the
Hour
*Finding Lai’de Lai’de Lai’de da de
Star struck luck from
a knuck
Ledger filled heat
loved
Stopping aloud to
burn flower bright
Still counting on the
hour night
*
Andy Kauffman was the
first man to eat green cheese
And Gonzo and Izabel the chicken were not far behind
Yeah yeah
People go crazy about
a sharp dressed man
People go crazy about
Elvis and his blue suede shoes
People go crazy about
Willie and his “Crazy” thing
People go crazy about
the strangest things
People are this way,
Mr. Morrison said, “When you’re a stranger”
Tiny Tim “Tip toed
through the tulips”
What a long strange
trip it’s been
Yeah yeah
People go crazy about
a sharp dressed woman
People go crazy about
Elvis and his blue suede sock
People go crazy about
Willie and his taxation
People go crazy about
the strangest things
Like Mr. Hammer and
his “Folk-Boxing”
People go crazy about
a sharp dressed cat
People go crazy about
Elvis and
People go crazy about
Willie and his red bandana
People go crazy about
the strangest things
Every now and again
we see eye to eye
Everything else is
just a lie
Now see here, she
exclaimed into the night
Passionate kisses are
all I need tonight
*Right now is the
time; Don’t break my heart
We’ll cross that sea
in due time; Don’t break my heart
Don’t worry we’re
ready; it’s the best place to start
I’m here and I am
steady, So don’t break my heart
She was there on a
Tuesday
And the air was just
right
She said I may have
found it dear
Well I found my
fight
I asked is the
reflection consequence of my action
No not this
time
As she explained to
me, its just a piece of glass
*
Every now and again
we see eye to eye
Everything else is
just a lie
Now see here, she
exclaimed into the night
Passionate kisses are
all I need tonight
by pete
I am listening to
your every word
All I hear is love,
love, love
I’m still going Malatoid
In my arms; Oh, all
for you
*Sometimes in the
middle of the city
Someday in my
dreams
Sometimes out along
the lucid shore
Someday any
day
So dream just a
little
And Fall in my arms a
little while
In and out, in and
out
All for
you
*
Instrumental
*
(Intro)
*Another day in our
lives
You’ll give it one
more try
So why don’t you try
something new
Like rum and pickle
juice
(Rhyming in
crowd)
*
repeat until bored
(Fin)
Falling from that
star angel
Wings without two
words
To happen somewhere
in the midst of grey
And choosing
carefully words, words, words
Selling drama to a
carpenter
The lives that we
lead can be simple
Complexities however
is how the beat goes on
Please trade away
these dreams on
*Perhaps chance,
we’ll draw our lives around importance
Living in and on this
little world we live
Perhaps chance,
outside dreams can come true
Baby just me and
you
I look into your
beautiful cat eyes
Losing all that could
be, oh how time flies
Legs locked frozen at
your door
Knowing that you want
to see me once more
*
(b) But Lions will
prevail, in the story that we tell
And which way to the
past please tell me
My wardrobe of
wonderment cannot last
by pete
Hey, it’s not that
way
It’s what you do with
it love
And you say, Please
Please don’t you stay
It’s how you use with
it love
It’s not that for
now/song for your love
Hey, what would you say
If I was never
through with your love
You’d say, Please
Please don’t you stay
It’s how you prove
with it love
I don’t mind stealing
time for your love
I don’t mind stealing
time for your love
It’s not that far
now
Hey, it’s how you
say
That I’ll never g’through with your love
And you say, Please
Please don’t you stay
It’s not improved
with your love
I don’t mind stealing
time for your love
I don’t mind stealing
time for your love
It’s not that far
now
Tonight is what we
dream is what we say
And not a care in the
world
And all along these
feelings, these feelings
And nothing but this
girl on my mind
*It’s what I think
of
It’s what I need
of
It’s what the time
wants us to believe
The Line has been
crossed most every day
And the best of the
worst part is that you knew
Most of the
time
What I write is what
I feel
It’s a constant
exchange of emotional emotioned thought
Every night a then I
am at your window
My
Julie
My
Juliet
*
by pete
You asked me to wait
a year for your love
I don’t think I can
wait that long
Longing for a chance
as I drive away
I must ask you to
dance again with me
*I send you this and
you send me that
I miss you this and
you miss me that
I hope for your love
in time
I wish for your love
next time
You asked me for some
advice
And I brought you the
stars for a night
You said “I’ll see
what comes to me love,
But I cannot promise
what you deserve”
*
You never came around
that night
But then again you
never promised me the night
So I’ll be back for
you someday
In the meantime love
I cannot, I will not stay
*
by pete
The songs you listen
to are a lot like the ones I write
This one’s no
different no apologies stay the night
Does this mean that
you are leaving soon my friend
Or can I convince you
to stay ’til the end
*These last days
goodbye
And I don’t know, I
don’t know why
But things will work
out alright
Yes things will be
just fine
Varied conversations
we all must have; and the ones we wanted to
Speaking of nothings
of when we’ll meet again
Carpe Notte seize the night
We’ll find ourselves
going on; so I just might but…
*
by pete
Not quite
requital
Not quite
right
Sweetly towards
sweetness
Enough is
enough
You’re too far
out
If you make me
wait
You’ll soon find
out
*La La La La
It might as well be
spring
To be out we must
be
Around and outside
looking inside
Again sweetly towards
sweetness
I might, I’ll fight
for it
*
I had something
really witty, but I don’t remember
That’s been done
before
Just like playing a
six string and
the do wa-ditty-ditty-dum
*Your Hair Your Eyes
your smile
In the
moonlight
In my
dreams
Because I miss
you
And I Kiss you
Through these
words
Not for the faint of
heart they said
So we steal the day
together with
You and me and one
bottle dreaming of
So come sail away
they say with me
How does that work
for the both of us
tender nights with
by pete
These things we are
tailored to do
Feet standing up and
making it far
I will bring water
and your wine
And my picture that I
drew of
*Your hair, your
eyes, your smile
In the
moonlight
So please, and thank
you
Stay just in case
your mind I want to share
With you a failable station to care
Non-consequential
resident affairs
You and me and one
bottle making
*
by pete
How do you see
me?
How do you feel
me?
How do you do the
things which are
*From the outside
looking inside looking all around
I’ll be not safe ’til
you’re around
So take your
time
You need to
find
What you need to
find
*
Just breathe a
little/ to make this go by
I’ll lye around and be, just because
*
by pete
Something to sleep
by
Just for you and all
the stars
Deep diamond pockets
of faith
Many more years to
far to imagine
*So I may, just a
little
Everyday you stay a
little while
And I’ll keep this in
mind
That you’ll always be
mine
So many
times
So little time to be
around you
Scheming is just not
you
Screaming is just not
you
*
Assortment
Assorted
I have nowhere else
to go
The dreams they may
come and they may go
All love stays and
so
*
Every once and a
while you come around
Then we’re off and we
cannot be found
Useless are the ways
that they think we are
Trading glances only
to look away
*But I found
reluctant love
Not with you but some
other dove
In seclusion
dear
But I will find a
way
Yes and you’ll be
back someday
*Because I found love
when I found you
So we listen to
things if we wanted to
No more tears when I
say these words
Cuz I found love when I found you
I no misgivings or
ways to explain
How you and I would
express these things
But don’t you worry
my friend
It all works out in
the end
*
(b) Don’t look away,
baby, don’t look away
Darling dear are the
only things we should
Tell our… tell you
what
Meet me half
way
And that glorious
day
*
Once in maybe two
lifetimes we’ll up the anti again
Cuz you were my darling and I yours my friend
But don’t you think
perhaps a wink and smile to last the day
That you and I
a-g-a-i-n
Yeah
by pete
Do you remember the lullaby
That we once
shared
So you see how far it
is to ride
Into that
Sunset
I will not follow
alone
I will not see for it
is gone
I won’t find one way
back to dreaming
*I would walk a
thousand miles
And I would dream a
million dreams
If I could be there
with you
You will
see
Singing, hush little
baby
Don’t you cry I have
a lullaby
Hush little
baby
Don’t you cry
Sinking for a
melody
Pushing up
melancholy
Felling all there is
to you
Meaning I’d not give
up on you
*
Here’s a little story
about you and I
In fact there was
never anything little about it
Yes I am
fine
It’s over please move
on
*One day we’ll not
find love
Someday I’ll not try
up
Does this mean that
we should give up?
No, that one day I’ll
find love
But then there are
apparent lies
Like about you and me
doing fine
But since, of course,
there is no more
And yet life lingers
on and on before…
(bridge) Oh my heart and aching for someone
Leaves trying
hard-out and finding nothing
There will be time to
look back
On time that I had
spent
So at last there’s
time in life
To think about all
the days gone by before
But then you know
it’s my life
So in the end it’s
just goodbye
You Said I was
drawing a picture in my head of
You were not
fantastical as you once were
Dreaming along those
lines
Of faith to the
heart
Is were it is and it
lies
It
lies
* But you just don’t
know
What effect you have
on heaven
And you just can’t
see
Till its all
beside/behind you there
So close the
door
Until I reach heaven
with you
Until I reach heaven
with you
Along those
lines
Beaconing the
stars
The stars they wish
on your eyes
They say that they
are beautiful
And are the first to
come into view
Wishing on such
beauty
Don’t fade away
For yours are undying
And are lifetimes
away
But are well worth
the evening
The
evening
*
Placing all of me
Why not take a chance
on life
In regards to what
you think could be love
Or interest in the skys above
This will not be
above the yearning curve
And yet again we can
walk along life together
Together
*
by pete
Telling tall tales of
Victorian sadness
Never ending in this
story
As I fall from
Grace
The air ascending all
from out to be
*Tearing Tori from the norm
Running through the
weather
Once again from the
storm
Soul stepping
diamonds in the rough
You think your tough
Running through the
weather once again
Missing what I cannot
have
And still searching
for someone
Later times we all
must have
I go on knowing
on
*
by devin/pete
Falling down on a
spoon
In the month of
June
Milk is about to
rot
Brown paper bag
spot
*Hot to you cold to
me
And as taste as can
be
Got to have
it
Got to have
it
Lack of words, so I
sat
With that cat and my
hat
Got a box full of
brew
And you can have some
too
*
Need more words to
say
Need less words to spray
Drunk now I must
go
Slow, Slow,
Slow
*
by pete
Did you see the news today
Most all I did not
hear it from you
An angels place to
stand
Fulcrum under
bow
*Wake up your heart
is set in stone
Don’t leave now; no
tomorrow
The time will come
not to worry
Fate will work it
out
Standing in giant
ignorance
The wish, that of
living whole
Your voice most
tender
Speak softly angel
now
*
Pictures on the
wall
Paintings on the
floor
It all seems so
small
So don’t walk
throughout that door
*
by pete
Once upon in my
dreams
Baby you will
see
I can see you
waking
Coming out to play
with me
*Dreams can go Awry
It can be dishonest
baby
Will you
see?
Does it really happen baby
Sometime you will
see
Time to see if you
can chose
A closer walk with
thee
*
Does it really matter
baby
Kindling hearts will
be
Walking out into the
open air
*
by devin/pete
A story about
you
That I once told
myself
That you were once in
love with me
*In between right and
wrong
Underneath before
long
You’ll find yourself
in need of me
There’s something
about you
That makes me want to
cry for more
Cuz I don’t want to see you torn
*
The things you
do
The things you
say
Make me love in every
single way
The way you
walk
The way you
smile
Make me just love you
and it’s all worth my while
To be with
you
*
And then when I have
you
Back inside my
arms
I’d never let you go
again
*
A story about
you
That I once told
myself
That you were once in
love with me
Your Going Away Gift Because I’m Broke
I lost myself this
time
Somewhere between
here and an ocean
Thinking I was
blind
Somewhere between you
and me
Along the
way
Thinking of
you
I will not stop this
time
She says, You’re always there for me
Well I hope you know
you’re right this time anyway
*Along your way
home
I will stop and think
of you
Along your way
home
I know you’ll stop
and think of me
I think I’ll give it
a try
She says, But there are better things like butterflies and fairytales
through the glass
I think I’ll be
coming home
When the wind begins
to blow for you
*Along my way
home
I will stop and think
of you
Along my way
home
I know you’ll stop
and think of me
by pete
Do you ever wonder,
the things we cannot see
Where the wild things
are, grow things unimaginable
*I won’t come down
(from here)
This is not for your
edification
Or your personal
faith
I think of it as
magic, but only when you sleep
*
And she wakes, to see
me there
And she wonders,
only
*
by pete
Say when will your time come
And how will you get
there
How far does it feel awake
And will you see me
quietly
*Will it all fall
down?
Say when the rain
comes
Will you hold onto
me?
Does vertigo make a
difference?
When you’re with
me
*
Questions in due
time
Ones we won’t want to
say
Then there’s a reason
for all of this
But I’m not certain
you will agree
*
What was it like
before Saturday
I wake up ready for
school, no wait its Saturday
The cartoons I think
I missed
What was life like
before Saturday
I pour the cereal and
milk at the same time
It’s a commercial
about something I’ve not seen sugary
That I must
have
*What was it like
before birthday parties with jungle gyms
When Cartoons were
half my day
*What was it like
before the cute girl
I think she’s looking
at me; I think I’ll pull her hair
*What was it like
before reading under the covers with a flashlight
Some misadventures of a dog and a
boy
*What was it like
before Lancelot, my dog, he walked me
I think he’s the size
of a horse
Saturday afternoon
our usual snowball fight
This one has Susie’s
name on it; we’ve got plans later to play doctor today
*What was it like
before living on a cul-de-sac, and leading the parades in my mind
*What was it like
before Sunday school and playing game boy; I’m almost to level 5
*What was it like
before wanting to stay home before going to summer camp and never wanting to go
home
Saturday night the
cartoons are all gone; watching the sun go down with mom and dad
Well now I’m a level
six wizard in gameboy-land
Now eating dinner
with the family; somehow Lancelot gets my vegetables
Then time for
Late-night with the Barbarian and then bed
*What was it like
before Flinstone vitamins and matching toothbrushes
*What was it like
before Superman underwear, because that’s who’d I become to face the monsters
under my bed
*What was it like
before Saturday
*What was it like
before Saturday
by pete
Tormented waters a
storm at bay
Unquenchable lust for
others away
I see you smile for
another
Wishing you would
just look my way
Constantly
Constrictingly Constrictance
Fabulously
Fabulous
Painstakingly
Painful
*Until tomorrow
then
I keep wishing on
that bright star
Until tomorrow
then
Just breathe
remembering me
Until tomorrow
then
Take time and I will
fall into your embrace
Until tomorrow
then
And I will fall from
grace
Chances and dances
with you
What if Kipling had
his way
Then I might be
around and not leaving you
All you had to do was
say stay
I might be back I
could even write a song or two
I’ll try not to creep
out anyone especially you
I am myself always
around and away from the blues
I don’t count my
stars without thinking of you
*
Wouldn’t it be nice to leave New York City
Sorry I did not tell you sooner then
wave a white flag staring down your street
Making the rounds losing life to sweet
You say love love my love
Loneliness in a blind mans gaze
And Love Love
Love is all we ever need
You said two shots in the dark to miss
We always lose a great lovers kiss
Living up dreams turning up stone cold
Finding the time to grow up and find your soul
You say love love my love
Loneliness I found in spades
And Love Love
Love is all I ever needed
(Bridge)
Stop and turn around lights out my friend
You’ve got a lot to say to me then
Patch a red flag you know this means war
Lovers, fighters, they can’t keep score
You say love love my love
Loneliness in life must change
And Love Love
Love is all you ever need
There is stardust on my floor these days
Hanging out with the little dogs and happiness and
fairytales
You say your life is not too sudden
All of a sudden you fall in love
And the lamplighters of our sneakered hearts
Will mix with the chess and the checkers and the checkmates
Together now
We are soul we are wanderers
We look so good together
Feeling like screaming we scheme about our futures
We always find our way home
Traveling like timing it’s all about the love and the humor
in our souls
With the mix of vinyl and CDs that you love
We are two smoking barrels of fun
Together now
We are fools we are conquerors
We look so good together love
All the way down
