There’s a spider living, in my guitar
She’s awake now, as a play the chords
I don’t know how she got there or if she’ll stay
But we’re together when I play
She built a web
What will she catch?
Maybe a song
And be happy with that
Yeah now were playing
Maybe her sisters told her not to go
Into my guitar and into the show
But now shes in there as I pluck the strings
Shes playing along doing her thing
She built a web
What will she catch?
Maybe a song
And be happy with that
Yeah now were playing,
i will call her jane
me and jane now were all alone
me and jane we are putting on a show
Together we sit in the dark
Together we play heart to heart
She built a web
What will she catch?
Maybe a song
And be happy with that
Yeah now were playing,
She built a web
What will she catch?
Maybe a song
And be happy with that

Groovin

Tell me what on your mind
ill tell you whats on mine
no need to think or worry
were doing fine
Tell me whats on your mind
please take it slow
no need to rush or hurry
we have nowhere to go
and were groovin up and down the block
and were grooving giving what we got
and were grooving together in the night
and were grooving deep down inside
Sit with me in silence
but please dont fight it
No need to get excited
with all of it
Sit with me in silence
Till something comes our way
but please dont hide it
if you have something say
and if something goes astray
and your muscles tense and hair turns gray
I hope you can get back...

Pendulum swings
03:08
|
|||
|
I worked so hard I worked so long
To get myself where I wanted to be
And then so fast and then so fast
It all came down on me
You can run if you want
Pray all you need
But what will you do when the pendulum swings
From high to low
From high to low
You can build up a world build up a life
Who is it for, is it for show
What will you do what will you do
When you feel down and low
Now I feel so empty
Can I have a bone
Where did this come from
Now I feel alone
If I was strong if I was strong
Maybe I could hold on

Universe don't mind
04:04

When the future comes I want to be
A chocolate bar melting in the heat
Out in a field and under the sun
Feeling free
When you have a list of things to do
Get one done move on to #2
When does it end, never my friend
It goes on and on
The Universe no it don’t mind
How I spend my time,
Im just riding along
Theres nothing I need to know
Theres nothing I need to do
Im just taking it in
I know a dog, he’s my best friend
I love him so much ill love him till the end
We sit together and I look into his eyes
He looks into mine
Using my eyes like I am in a dream
Choosing to see what I want to see
If I don’t like it then I turn around
And Find something else
If I get those working blues
Time ticking and too much to do
Maybe I will start
To Worry
Im not trying to get ahead of myself
I am who I am and no one else
What can I do?
Ahh

Bright light city
03:36
|
|||
|
Fighting my conscious now
Its eating me up inside
There’s two sides in me
One says do anything
The other is trying to tell me no
Its getting dark where will I go
In this bright light city going round
Im just going wandering around
Going down that block
I said I would not walk
Im a gambling man playing against the odds
Somethings telling me that it just aint right
Getting lost in those bright lights
In this bright light city going round
Im just going looking to be found
Living in the moment
Getting my pleasures now
Wheres that getting me
No where but down
In this bright city going round
Im just coming down
Now im at the bar
I think i want something more
than what I have found
In the lights of this city going round

Space Explorer
03:37

I am a space explorer
Traveling alone in the dark
Searching for something ive never known
I am stuck on a planet far away
I don’t know if I can get back again
To the ones who are meaningful to me
What could be better
Than to get back to the ones I love again
What could be better oh oh oh
Than to get back to the ones the ones that I know
I have food and I have shelter
Is that enough to get me by
I am feeling lousy no matter what I do
I am a space explorer
I thought I had something to prove
I didn’t think I had so much to lose

If you call
03:26
|

|
I don’t know how your living
If your doing alright or are you slipping
Down the hill from where you were
When I was with you there
Im living in a new city now
I ride the bus to get around
Oh, this city is alright
But its far from home and I miss you in the night
If you call to see if Im alright
Call me then in the middle of the night
Thought will be heavy heavy in my mind
My heart will be ready and so will the time
I saw a dog in the middle of the road
It was lost and confused with nowhere to go
Well that dog is just like me
Searching now for anything
I heard two woman talking on the bus
Saying how this city is a bust
Well I think I am doing fine
If you remember me please send me a line

Haunt me
02:53
|
|||
|
Your face is like an angel your body is divine
Your love is like a thief who leaves nothing behind
Good has gone too bad, oh why would I be sad
The one thing I loved the most vanished like a ghost
Haunt me baby
Haunt me baby
Haunt me like the living dead
Wont you haunt someone else instead
I met you in a dream I lost you it seems
Twice as fast as any man that came before me
There’s something in the air, its got me in a tear
You love sick twisted dog theres nothing there
Haunt me baby
Haunt me baby
Haunt me like the living dead
Wont you haunt someone else instead
Stop being so serious try to relax,
Try to put this behind your back
But the wind keeps blowing this door wont close
Your haunting me baby like a bloody nose
Haunt me baby
Haunt me baby
Haunt me like the living dead
Wont you haunt someone else instead
Haunt me baby
you haunt me baby
you haunt me like the living dead
Wont you haunt someone else instead

Jocelyn

I met her at the airport, she was holding her banjo
I was so excited, I was holding my mandolin
We were going to Alaska, for the summertime
One skinny city boy and a girl named Jocelyn
We landed in a new world, so fresh and green
So far away from LA and happy to be
Well, we were Buddy-Buddy
We were very good pals
Just like a sister
but I lost her somehow
Most of the time we played music, most of the time we joked around
She would sing so sweetly it would lift me off the ground
We stayed in the mountains where we didn’t need much money
We would bathe in the river when ours were days were sunny
She fell in love with a mountain man
and I went my own way
We saw each other once in awhile
But it wasn't the same
She fell in love with a mountain man
and I went my own way
Back to La
And she stayed
Well I got a message from her just the other day
First time in two years she had something to say
She’s a real musician now and she’s got her own show
She’s coming to my town and wants me to go
Well we were buddy-buddy
We were good pals
I’m hoping when I see her
We can get it back somehow

She loves you man
03:21

She loves you man though she’s got a plan,
to put you down and turn away
She loves you man so don’t you stand there and let her get away
A couple of times you lost your cool, a couple times
she made you feel like a fool
Wont you stop your arguing
she loves you man you don’t need to win
You built up a wall
Between the love
Take in down
And let her in
He loves you girl, you’re his lady,
he loves girl and don’t say maybe
He loves you girl and don’t you know
he needs your help to let it show
One of you is acting so careless
the other one is acting too jealous
Won’t you stop your arguing he loves girl let him in
You built up a wall
Between the love
Take in down
And let him in
Well I don’t want to hear two lovers fight
Who am I to give love advice
Theres no reason for what you do
Your letting your emotions get the best of you
I’m no fool and I can feel ya,
I see what you got and want to tell you
She loves you man so don’t stand there and let her get away
You tell me she’s crazy, it’s nothing new,
she’s acting that way because of you
You tell me he acts like a child, you can’t keep him being wild
You built up a wall
Between the love
Take in down
And let the love in

We spend some time
02:57
|

|
your looking at me with those big bright eyes
you look at me with that little smile
what can this boy
do for you
i cant make no promises
my attention span is not the greatest
i wish i could do more for you
when were running in different circles
i think about you sometimes
i wish i could think more about you
im not, not the greatest man
i appreciate all your love
I wish i could give more to you
we spend some time looking at stars
we spend some time rolling in cars
we spend some time staying home
where neither one of us feels alone
i sit on my computer
you play on the bed
i should, i should play with you
but i am one, one lazy muffin
wasting time, time like its nothing
i love to spend time with you
we spend some time looking at stars
we spend some time rolling in cars
we spend some time staying home
where neither one of us feels alone
oh my little one, i love you
and i know you love me too so now what do we do
