Leaf Day Boys
It’s leaf day boys
In the back of the yard
Gotta put your head...down
You got the grief from the girls
From the night before
You get the runaround
It’s the daydream noise in the back of your head
Left ya holding the bag
And the plan for tonight Is to try it again
And get away with it
A Saturday chore
Is cold water
Thrown on the fire
Of a hopeful Friday heist
Go in for the score
Like a good marauder
Much to admire
So much to sacrifice
So it’s leaf day boys
In the back of the yard
Going to be a long one
And the thief of this time Gonna make you think hard
Get the dirty work... done
A Saturday chore
Is cold water
Thrown on the fire
Of a hopeful Friday heist
Go in for the score

So much to sacrifice Yeah yeah
Break the glass
Take the jewel From the fool
Who would lower His guard
Yeah! yeah! yeah! uh! uh!

In the back of the yard

Worried Mind Melt Away
I get a worried mind
From time to time
It just gets away
It falls back in line
Falls right back in line
When I think of you again
You’re somewhere in the clouds
Or maybe somewhere else
And my worried mind
It just melts away
We use to sit outside
Watch the planes go by
Dream the day away
Yeah, we would laugh a lot
And make love a lot
Sweet memory I’ve got
And now you’re in the clouds Or maybe somewhere else And my worried mind
It just melts away
It’s been fractured
I’ve been tortured
But I’m trying to get around it
And I get traction
It’s my fortune
With your light and love
Surrounding me
Now you’re in the clouds
Or maybe somewhere else
And my worried mind
It just melts away
We would walk the streets
Put our world at peace
Spend the day this way
Yeah, we would laugh a lot
And make love a lot
Sweet memory I’ve got
You’re somewhere in the clouds
Or maybe somewhere else
Making my worried mind
Melt away
Making my worried mind
Melt away

Spin The Bottle
Sometimes
When things are right
I can feel your warm breath Whispering
In my ear that tonight
It’s going to be fine
Still I gotta spin the bottle
Kick the can down the road
Whispering
I know that you’re keeping me steady Everything
Is going to be all right
Tonight
Sometimes
When the fear creeps in
I can feel you tugging
On my sleeve
Snapping me
Out of all the worry and fright
Still I gotta spin the bottle
Kick the can down the road
Gotta keep my hand on the throttle
Keep on going with the flow
When I was a child
I told my mama
I’d never be alone
As long as I had myself But it’s not true
I still need you!
Still I gotta spin the bottle
Kick the can down the road
Gotta keep my hand on the throttle
Keep on going with the flow
Whispering
I know that you’re keeping me steady Everything
Is going to be all right
Tonight
Sometimes
When things are right
I can feel your warm breath Whispering
In my ear that tonight
It’s going to be fine
Still I gotta spin the bottle
Kick the can down the road
Gotta keep my hand on the throttle
Keep on going with the flow

Hole In the Sun
Oh look what they’ve done
They put a hole in the sun
The warmth has been turned down
It’s colder than cold now
But the bill has gone up
I Have a hole in my head
From what has been said
Your stomach’s been shot through
‘Cause the moonshine they sold you
Is all full of lead
Hungover and lost
I walked out to the frost
And you know it’s bad enough
The days are getting shorter
And on top of that
We get the high hat
From charlatan fiends
Who’ve stolen our dreams
In short order
Oh see what they do
They try to tell you it’s true
That he is a bad man
While they steal all your freedom
From right under you
Hungover and lost
I walked out to the frost
And you know it’s bad enough
The days are getting shorter
And on top of that
We get the high hat
From charlatan fiends
Who’ve stolen our dreams
In short order
Oh look what they’ve done
They put a hole in the sun
The warmth has been turned down
It’s colder than cold now
But the bill has gone up

Been A Long Time

Been a Long Time
Been a long time
that I’ve been Living without your love
Stayed inside and outside
Of this push and shove
And being in this city
ain't all that it’s cracked up to be
When you’re not here with me
Now they’re trying to take away
Our heart and soul
Freedom’s in decline
As they take more control
And being in this life
Ain't all that it’s cracked up to be
If you’re not here with me.
The fall is coming
It’s a long long long way down
To my winter coat I bow
And the plows are lying in wait
But for now I’ll just pour a cup
And think of all the days, love
When I was in your warm arms
With the fire ablaze.
Been a long time that
I’ve been Living without your love
Stayed inside and outside
Of this push and shove
And being in this city
ain't all that it’s cracked up to be
When you’re not here with me
If I can make it to spring
That would be a thing of beauty
And this cold goes right Through me
Autumn is on us
The brilliant colors jog the memory
A reminder to stock up
And get me at least to the summer days
But for now I’ll just pour another one
Think of all the nights
When I was in your warm arms
With the fire ablaze
Been a long time that
I’ve been Living without your love
Stayed inside and outside
Of this push and shove
And being in this city
ain't all that it’s cracked up to be
When you’re not here with me
Been a long time that
I’ve been Living without your love
Stayed inside and outside
Of the push and shove
And being in this town
ain't all that it’s cracked up to be
When you’re not here with me
Now they’re trying to take away
Our heart and soul
Freedom’s in decline
As they take more control
And being in this life
ain’t all that it’s cracked up to be
If you’re not here with me.
Been a long time that
I’ve been Living without your love
Stayed inside and outside
Of the push and shove
And being in this town
ain't all that it’s cracked up to be
When you’re not here with me
It’s been a long time without your love, child
I stayed inside and outside
Stayed inside
And being in this life
ain’t all that it’s cracked up to be
When you’re not here with me.

Gloves Come Off

Gloves Come Off
Too many questions
Will see some lies
In the answers
That you search for
Make no corrections
Black out no lines
For the slander
Will be worth more
Ah!
Now the gloves come off
And no one tries to
Hide it anymore
Give us the business
We’ll give it back
As we choose up sides
In the school yard
All your revisions
Add up to smack
It’s just suicide
On the scorecard
Ah!
Now the gloves come off
And your knuckles drop
And drag on the floor
Lest it be the end of us
Our last stand
So much at hand
No fallback plan
You ask no questions
You get in line
For the poppet show
That you hope for
Can’t feel the digits
Crawl up your spine
If you were digging
You’d end up in China
Still
All the gloves come off
As no one tries to
Hide it anymore
Now all the gloves come off
No one tries to hide it anymore
Hide it anymore

One Little Spark
Oh my sister said
I can’t make any sense of it
One little spark now
And they’re burning the house down
Turning like dogs
On command
By the junk show darling Talking heads
One little bark now
And the copy cats cry
And we all start
Trading in lies for the truth in disguise Is no truth at all
It’s no surprise
How we’ve come to despise
The excuse to fall in line
Get up, mother said
Before you come down
You’ll have made your bed
One little spark now
And they’re burning the town down
Turning to
Trading in lies for the truth in disguise Is no truth at all
It’s no surprise
How we’ve come to despise
The excuse to fall in line
And there’s no looking back
Over your shoulder now
To the playground
In the swing of the drummer’s sound
How freely you danced around
Trading in lies for the truth in disguise Is no truth at all
It’s no surprise
How we’ve come to despise
The excuse to fall in line
Repeat

Talk to me, girl
My lady
Of this and that world
So many words left
Swirling around
I still hear your voice now
Just like the first time
It knocks me out
Slow and sweet child
KT
Talk with me, girl
My lady
Of this and that world
All of the things said come echoing back
It’s your string of pearls
I could not undo them
As I trace you neck
Asleep or awake
KT

September Eighteenth
Am I really all that I could be
Am I?
Am I anything like he was
I know I have my moments
But they’re so far and few between
Today is not a day that we just remember
It’s the kind of day that we want
To try to point ourselves in a new direction
Am I really all?
Am I really all?
Am I really all that I could be?
The man he had it all
So much self control
I don’t really know
If I have it in me
But let’s make a move
To get to a better way
With all of our strength, love, and all out Integrity
Am I really all that I could be
Am I?
Am I anything like he was
I know I have my moments
But they’re so far and few between
Today is not a day that we just remember
It’s the kind of day that we want
To try to point ourselves in a new direction
Am I really all?
Am I really all?
Am I really all that I could be?
Like a waterfall
He poured into my soul
You’d think that it might show
I I had it in me
But I will be moved
to get to a better way
With all of my strength, love ,and all out Integrity
He was born into the world As a king
And then he left it
Just as he came in
Just as he came in
Am I really all that I could be
Am I?
Am I anything like he was
I know I have my moments
But they’re so far and few between
Today is not a day that we just remember
It’s the kind of day that we want
To try to point ourselves in a new direction
