1.Tumbledown
It's just a matter of time a figure of speech that springs to
mind throughout the day
As the minutes go by, a second thought, a moment lost, time
ticks away
And everything changes, forever never lasts, no such thing as
always,it's all too soon the past.
Tumbledown, tumbledown, tumble, tumble, tumbledown.
Tumbledown, tumbledown, tumble, tumble, tumbledown.
Raingods with zippos, a tin man with a heart
An end with no beginning, a race without a start
That you'll never win, that you cannot lose and you fall apart.
Tumbledown, tumbledown, tumble, tumble, tumbledown.
Tumbledown, tumbledown, tumble, tumble, tumbledown.
The tarot declares a motion made a finger traps an empty glass.
The needles begin to make their mark, you try to hide, you're
leaving tracks,
I dream of fire and water, dream of deserts, dream up plans,
Like mountains and castles they're only grains of sand that
Tumbledown, tumbledown, tumble, tumble, tumbledown,
Tumbledown, tumbledown, tumble, tumble, tumbledown.
Raingods with zippos, a tin man's bleeding heart,
An end with no beginning, a race without a start
That you'll never win, that you cannot lose and you fall apart.
And tumbledown, tumbledown, tumble, tumble, tumbledown.
Tumbledown, tumbledown, tumble, tumble, tumbledown.

2.Mission Statement
I punched the clock in at 35, i thank the lord that i'm still
alive, sometimes i find it hard to believe that my hearts still
beating that i'm still on my feet,
I'm gonna give you, gonna give you a mission statement.
I've been in a downward spiral for a very long, long time, i've
been stepping over dollars just to pick up a shiny dime,
The way i see it, it ain't gonna work, i'm kissing the past
goodbye,
I'm gonna give you, gonna give you a mission statement,
I got no more patience, got no more time,
I'm tired of following orders, sticking to the company line,
I want to change the world and i'm starting with myself,
A private revalation concerning everybody else,
We're all just lonely people we're all looking for some help,
Too busy crunching numbers and fighting for ourselves,
All it takes is kindness and a little love and care,
And this planet that we live on can be a heaven we can share, a
mission statement.
The tears of hungry children are falling in the dust,
The scraps of a rich man's table could fill their starving
mouths,
While some they thirst for water others get drunk on wine,
To some their lives a prison and they're out there doing time,
I'm gonna give you, give you a mission statement,
I got no more patience, i got no more time,
I'm tired of following orders, sticking to the company line
I want to change the world and i'm starting with myself,
A private revalation concerning everybody else,
We're all just lonely people we're all looking for some help,
Too busy crunching numbers and fighting for ourselves,
All it takes is kindness and a little love and care,
And this planet that we live on can be a heaven we can share, a
mission statement.

3.Incomplete
We got 140 stations on satellite beaming on down to our home -
but i'm watching you,
I've got half a million bills to pay, you never hear a word i
say - i dream of you,
Oh i feel so incomplete, oh, oh, it seems so incomplete,
If we could only close the distance,
If we could only cross these lines,
If we could only fill the space that's grown between us over
time,
You don't hear me anymore, you don't touch me anymore, you don't
know me anymore.
There's a wedding dress in a suitcase full of memories in the
attic - i think of you,
Where the ghosts of summer butterflies they gather in the dust -
i long for you,
Oh i feel so incomplete, oh, oh it seems so incomplete,
If we could only bring those days back when there were never
wounds to heal,
When everything was perfect and the dream we had was real,
You don't hear me anymore, you don't touch me anymore, you don't
know me anymore.
Oh i feel so incomplete, oh, oh it seems so incomplete,
When there were never any questions over who or what we were,
And the future only promised all the answers to our prayers
You don't hear me anymore, you don't touch me anymore, you don't
know me anymore

4.Tilted Cross
There's a message that's been left in the long grass by a
stranger who's passed this way before,
Planted seed from which we reap a bitter harvest from his long
forgotten war,
I left my love in a grave and i marked it with a cross that will
stand so straight and true,
It's not alone in the shade of the valley, they're what remains
of the ones we once knew,
Walk with me my child but tread softly on this earth,
Keep a close eye where your feet they touch the ground,
Watch out for the signs and heed what they say,
One false step and all is lost,
In the land of the tilted cross.
They lie beneath the needles of the forest, in the fields where
only shadows dare to play,
Washed down from the slopes of the mountains in the spring when
the snow melts away,
So be sure when you go on your journey, carry sticks, mark the
place where they are found,
Make a cross and be sure that it's tilted so that others don't
step on this ground.
Walk with me my child but tread softly on this earth,
Keep a close eye where your feet they touch the ground,
Watch out for the signs and heed what they say,
One false step and all is lost,
In the land of the tilted cross.
I left my love in a grave and i marked it with a cross that
stands so straight and true.
5.Faith Healer
If your body's feeling bad
It's the only one you have
You want to take away the pain
Just go out walking in the rain
You watch the flowers go to bed
Just ask the man inside your head
Your spirit never has to grieve
All you've got to do is believe
The faith healer
The faith healer
All you've gotta do is feel
Your body's gonna start to heal
The finger tips of holy fire
Ever lasting sweet desire
It never mattered what the doctor said
The healer man will sail away
It's immortality for two
Oh the miricles they will come to you
From faith healer
The faith healer
Can i put my hands on you
Can i put my hands on you
The faith healer
The faith healer
Faith and hope and charity
The simple relativity
He can make you understand
All you've gotta do, you've gotta take his hand
The finger tips of holy fire
Ever lasting sweet desire
It never mattered what the doctor said
Listen to the man inside your head
The faith healer
The faith healer
Can i put my hands on you
Can i put my hands on you
Let me put my hands on you
Let me put my hands on you
Can i put my hands on you
Can i put my hands on you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
The faith healer
The faith healer
The faith healer

6.Rites Of Passage
With this right of passage, cruel twist of fate, with every turn
of every card i never see,
Until it's too late, the deed is done and leaves me wondering
just where our love has gone
I cannot say in honest truth that i still trust all my feelings
for you.
You knew that it was wrong,
You think that saying sorry is gonna make it seem alright,
Maybe in this song you will hear me for the first time
And you'll start to see the light.
Living with you is like being parked on double yellow lines
waiting to be towed away,
I'll pay the fines and i'll be back, but i'm running out of
reasons to stay.
You knew that it was wrong,
You think that saying sorry is gonna make it seem alright,
Maybe in this song you will hear me for the first time
And you'll start to see the light.
You knew that it was wrong,
You think that saying sorry is gonna make it seem alright,
Maybe in this song you will hear me for the first time
And you'll start to see the light
With this right of passage i reclaim my heart,
I take my leave, as if on cue, i play no further part
In your self-penned dramas,
Where each stolen kiss
Just goes to prove that happy endings don't exist.

7.Plague of Ghosts
1. Old Haunts
I found a home in the darkness,
Found a home in the drakness,
Found a home in the drakness,
Empty stomach empty head a body
fills a vacant bed
And the thunder rolls by,
and the rains come,
and the day's gone
and I wonder where I am
Found a place in the darkness
found a home in the darkness,
In the drakness,
Home
In the darkness
A crowded room of passers by and in
The shadows strangers cry,
And the ghosts try to hide
When the rains come,
When the storms form,
When I wonder who I am
In the drakness,
Home

We wachted an insect stray to the edge of it's world,
A lily pad streched over a green mirror
In which the ghost carp swirl like clouds before a storm.
This is the season of the rains,
This is incoming.
And when it came there was no cover,
No place to hide,
Vision blurred,
Hard to breathe,
trying hard to hold onto something that's real.
Nothing left,
Nowhere to go,
No open road it's washed away by swollen streams,
Carried of downriver with all my broken dreams

Where lizards hang motionless

their broken wings throwing long shadows into the grass
Where the scorpions hide.

If I could say that I was happy now,
As if you need me to convince you
That everything is ok.
