Fine Little Kettle 02:40
lyrics
buy track
Fine Little Kettle Put the pedal to the metal my fine little kettle Fill your head full of steam as you start to dream Just inhale the stars as you bail to Mars Put the peddle to the metal again Sing it low sing it sweet as you walk the street Leave a space in your heart for a brand new dart Start to wake up and play every brand new day Sing it low sing it over again (chorus) First we go down to the face of the mountain Then we get up on a separate stone Then we look down on a city of forest Cooking and dancing at home Tell the ghetto not to settle my fine little kettle Take the cars from the streets turn them into beats Take the planes from the sky make them weep and cry Tell the ghetto not to settle again Take a fire-red petal my fine little kettle May the language that I use make you sail and cruise May the tales that I bring make you laugh and sing Take a fire-red petal again (chorus) Put the pedal to the metal my fine little kettle Fill your head full of steam as you start to dream Just inhale the stars as you bail to Mars Put the peddle to the metal again

The Trance 04:05

The Trance North on the 101 to Hollywood and Vine We meet outside the Metroline Big, white sign up above The streets and neon lights We walk along the fabled sights When little children come to see and ocean waves rise up to dance No need to wonder what will be We’re getting closer to the trance Big white sign up above The alley full of stars Always a line outside the bars Always a line outside until they let you in The only way out now’s to win When little children come to see and ocean waves rise up and dance No need to wonder what will be We’re getting closer to the trance We’re getting closer to the trance

Just out of Reach 04:40
lyrics
buy track
Just Out of Reach Six o’clock in the morning In twenty minutes I’ll be gone I can’t believe the time is over and there’s no way to keep it on You watch the moment slip away and count the seashells on the beach But there’s no way of getting over the star that swings just out of reach I tipped my bottle to a stranger That stranger soon became a friend Many a story he surrendered about the way it might’ve been If every love was beautiful and every lesson he could teach But there’s no way of getting over the star that swings just out of reach And then he headed for the pavement My friend looked up and came undone His head was twisted in amazement His heart filled up for everyone He stretched his finger to the sky and saw that pie just like a peach There’s no way of getting over the star that swings just out of reach

Sing the Blues 03:52
lyrics
buy track
Sing the Blues Wicked wind why you singing like you do Is it true that the night can be so blue There’s a line that you move every time you try to shake Every groove you find another home to break You sing the blues Sing the blues Sing the blues Sing the blues Wicked wind why you visiting again Is it true the night will be your only friend There’s a beat that you use as you ride the melody Blowing on around the bend too blind to see You sing the blues Sing the blues Sing the blues Sing the blues Wicked wind with your high and fancy shoes Is it true there isn’t much time left to lose Sing the blues Sing the blues Sing the blues Sing the blues

The Invisible Eye 03:25
lyrics
buy track
The Invisible Eye Rise up early this morning What goes on in the street Lines are already forming the crack of a rainstorm is backing the beat Bigheads to the left of me and bigheads to the right Hands you better get ready to baton things down for a terrible flight (chorus) Into this world we run Until the day that we die We never know what will come under the invisible eye From sitting pretty and young to old and just getting by We never know what is done under the invisible eye Go out later this evening What goes on in the street Hard to believe in the way that we weave and yet never once manage to meet Bigheads on the corner Bigheads tending the store Hands you better get ready It’s going to get rough outside of the door (chorus) We never know what will come under the invisible eye

Midnight Melody 03:36
lyrics
buy track
Midnight Melody Rolling shadows on the wall Haunted memories and dreams Footsteps echo in the hall Silence ripples in the seams All the past is put away and the lock has heard the key Soon the moon is going to play to a midnight melody There’s a man down on the street Got no place to lay his head Just a paper for his sheet Just some pavement for his bed He’ll just wait until the day Cold and lonely as can be Soon the moon is going to play to a midnight melody Rolling shadows on the wall Twisted memories and dreams Telephones that never call Diamond ring that never gleams But for all that’s gone away and no matter what will be Soon the moon is going to play to a midnight melody But for all that’s gone away and no matter what will be Soon the moon is going to play you a midnight melody.

Shady Grove 03:52
lyrics

Shady Grove Shady Grove, Shady Grove Somewhere to hide When it gets hotter than a stove By a stream Beside a stream I’m wide awake and it’s the middle of a dream No more will I run No more will I rove From Shady Grove Ellie May, Ellie May I’ll call you up in the middle of the day I’ll call you up all through the night You have a way of making everything right No more will I run No more will I rove From Shady Grove City street, City Street Nowhere to run There’s no escaping from the heat In a haze, In a haze You turn around and watch the passing of the days No more will I run No more will I rove From Shady Grove

Did Jesus Come 04:20
lyrics
buy track
Did Jesus Come There’s a storm in the East mowing down the trees Now it’s blowing through the street full of fire I wake up and watch the wind going on its way again Blowing on around the bend against the wire (chorus) Did Jesus come while I slept I walk along the avenue And there’s no one else around except some poor selected few Why did he drive the day away and leave us only bitter night Why this life to while away only to lose the final fight Did Jesus come What did we do that wasn’t right What did we say that wasn’t true What did we miss when we were searching for a clue What did we see that wasn’t real What did we feel that we shouldn’t feel What did we deal that he could not somehow undo (chorus) Did Jesus come

Words of Love 03:19
lyrics
buy track
Words of Love Sing to me the words of love that you were never able to say Stand up on the table now if your heart gets carried away Lean into the microphone when you’re right and ready to play Sing to me the words of love you never learned to say The sky is touching down and sweeping through the shadows And there’s no stoplights to the left or to the right Another passing day another pipe that rattles On it rattles On into the night Sing to me the words of love that you were never able to say Stand up on the table now if your heart gets carried away Lean into the microphone when you’re right and ready to play Sing to me the words of love you never learned to say To see with just one eye and hear without believing The deepest feelings go back to the well withdrawn Another passing day Another passing season On they flutter On until they’re gone (chorus)

Twilight 03:46
lyrics
buy track
Twilight Looking out the window I see lights and other damn cars among the usual sights Riders in a rush to get back home Set out on a range and destined never to roam Twilight and the riders carry on I’m talking to you tonight in a song Twilight and I hope it won’t be long I’m walking with you tonight in a song City and it gets so all alone You’d kill for a friend just to call on the phone Riders clogging up the north 110 I cuss and I scream and still I’d do it again Twilight and the riders carry on I’m talking to you tonight in a song Twilight and I hope it won’t be long I’m walking with you tonight in a song (chorus)

Old Hollow Soul 04:11
lyrics
buy track
Old Hollow Soul There’s a mile of cars on the freeway before me And there’s tension collecting the toll I can see lightning flash though the sky isn’t stormy Now a deep peace has taken a hold And I’m leaving the old hollow soul There’s a woman who waits with her bags on the corner She’s been let out of hell on parole Well she tried to stay young but her folks didn’t warn her In this world little girls grow so old Now she runs from the old hollow soul Looking in your eyes there’s a feeling Now sweet passion has taken control When you reach out your hand there’s a healing inside And I’m free from the old hollow soul Yes I’m free from the old hollow soul There’s an eagle that flies over mountains of plastic And its flight is a sight to behold There’s a calm in its eye when the tides turning drastic Off its wings you can hear thunder roll Fly away from the old hollow soul Fly away from the old hollow soul
