Dan n’ Shaniqua

It’s time to leave fear
There’s nothing for me here now
I can’t let you hurt me
To myself I’ve made a vow
Upset to leave ya Santa Teresa
I’ll still visit you in dreams
If I hear you call
Into the windfall

I’m going to leave tonight when the the moon is low
Into a new life via Mexico
I’m ready to run now, I’m ready to go
Into a new life via Mexico

On to a jet plane into the land of snow
Deep down beneath where all the baggage goes
I can’t wait to meet you Dan n’ Shaniqua
If you take me home and let me start again I’ll be your best friend

I’m going to leave tonight when the the moon is low
Into a new life via Mexico
I’m ready to run now, I’m ready to go
Into a new life via Mexico

I’m going to leave tonight when the the moon is low
Into a new life via Mexico
I’m going to leave tonight when the the moon is low
Into a new life via Mexico
I’m ready to run now, I’m ready to go
Into a new life via Mexico

Into a new life via Mexico
Into a new life via Mexico

Dog City

Dog City, the place I can trust
Dog City, everywhere else is a bust
All other cities are just fixing to rust
Let me tell ya bud this place is a must
I’ve gone from sea to sea
and the only place for me is Dog City

Let’s take a trip with the intention to move
A standing invitation to start shaking a groove
C’mon now, you know what to do
Get outta the sticks and into this fix, there’s nothing to lose
What can I say, when I’m there I wanna stay,
Yeah, Dog City

Running with the pack and laughing
Freedom feelings everlasting
Oh my my, leave me here
Pick me up this time next year

Somewhere in Dog City

Running with the pack and laughing
Freedom feelings everlasting
Oh my my, leave me here
Pick me up this time next year

Smiling at each other laughing,
Let’s hang out of cars passing
Oh my my, leave me here
Pick me up this time next year
In Dog City

Somewhere in Dog City

Moondog Matinee

Roll it down, let me out
Let me feel what it’s all about
Get my face back in the sun
Return to smile at everyone

Cause it seems like so long
since I felt like I could belong
And I love how we know just exactly what each other are always thinking of

Roll it down, let me out
So my senses can twist and shout
Just to know that you are there
With a hand back in my hair
Oh it seems like so long since we both could do no wrong
And I love how we know just exactly what each other are always thinking of

Freer than a bird
Out on top of it all

Roll it down, turn it up
This is my jam, 21st Century Man
See the stars lit by the sun
Returning a smile at everyone
Cause it seems like so long since together we sang along
And I love how we know just exactly what each other are always thinking of

Freer than a bird
Out on top of it all
Just a couple of animals
Running ‘til we fall…Roll it down

Charlie Andrews

April 10th, rainy as hell
I saw you sitting sad by the Ace Hotel
Hello my name is Charlie
I’d like to know you well

You seem distant, torn apart
Appeared that you had something wrong with your heart
I will rescue you, if you will rescue me…please

Maybe you could use a helping hand
To kill the loneliness I understand
I know that we just met
But I want to see you again

There’s something happening that we’re tapping into here
We’ve both been alone and we’re crackling with fear
I will rescue you, if you will rescue me…please

Maybe you could use a helping hand
To kill the loneliness I understand
I know that we just met
But I want to see you again

I will try
If you try

Ur Not Alone

Hold out your hand for a bird to land on
To talk some sense into you
Brings a tear to your eye
Like some gone summer
Fading back into view

You try so hard just to get it back, but what for?
You’re not alone anymore

My stereo plays only on rainy days
When the bluebirds gig underground
My gravity sways just like broken lovers
Dancing to the sound
Of the Everlys

You try so hard just to get it back, but what for?
You’re not alone anymore

Protect yourself from all known reality
Use imagination to the best of your ability
You’re not…
You’re already real, you don’t have to pretend to be
Why are we so attracted to the enemy?
You’re not alone anymore

You’re not alone anymore

Talking to the Sky

This morning when I woke up, I woke up smiling
Then I took one look outside
I couldn’t bring myself to believe it
Let down once again by the sky
(not again)

This was supposed to be our one day together
You promised me that we’d run in the sun (yes you did)
Instead we’re all locked up down in misery
Stuck inside how are we supposed to have any fun?

If I don’t get out, you know I’ll go crazy
The only place that I feel free
Why’d you have to go and rain?
Why’d you have to go and rain?

Well I hate the rain, everybody knows it
And there at no fucking way I’m walking out that door
So just wake me up when it’s all over
And I’ll have something, something to live for

Slipped into a dream, dreamed I was running

Down a neverending beach with you
And then I go run and hiding in the beach grass
Then come running, smiling back to you

If I don’t get out, you know I’ll go crazy
The only place that I feel free
Why’d you have to go and rain?
Why’d you have to go and rain?

It’s not that I’m sad, it’s not that I’m lazy
It’s the only place that I feel free
Why’d you have to go and rain?
Why’d you have to go and rain?

The Public Gardens

After the winter when the cold winds blow
New flowers dance where there once was snow
There is a pretty place that I can’t go near
I hear it’s nice this time of year

You had to break it to me easily
The paradise wasn’t having me
A little number 1 or a tiny 2
What’s the worst I could possibly do?

I hear it’s nice this time of year
So we’ll hop the fence when the coast is clear
You sip juleps on the lawn
I’ll tear up tulips and chase the swans

I hear it’s nice this time of year

New Tricks

I sit alone along the sill
Taking in all the new sounds of the night
And I finally feel alright
once again

It takes me back to a time when
I was young and running with my friends

I never thought that it could end
I still think of them

I don’t want anything but your love
And I don’t need anything but time
Their tricks may be new,
But our old ones are better

Sleight of hand, it gets me by
All that’s important sneaks and slides right by our eyes
On the beauty we rely
It’s how we stay alive

I won’t forget what you said
The good things we are stay around after we’re dead
It does a number on my head

I don’t want anything but your love
And I don’t need anything but time
Their tricks may be new,
But our old ones are better
Their tricks may be new,
But our old ones are better
Tested and true
Perfected by weather
For the long haul

For the long haul

I Wanna Be Your Dog

So messed up, I want you here
In my room, I want you here
Now we’re gonna be face-to-face
And I’ll lay right down in my favorite place
And now I want to be your dog
Now I want to be your dog
Now I want to be your dog
Well, come on
Now I’m ready to close my eyes
And now I’m ready to close my mind
And now I’m ready to feel your hand
And lose my heart on the burning sands
And now I want to be your dog
And now I wanna be your dog
Now I want to be your dog
Well, come on
