If the stars are soon to fade away
Their faces, colors fade to gray
May they grin at the delight we make
Outta dust and delirium
Searching for a flickering light
That promises to leave one night
When no one will suspect her flight
The wisdom of the lightning bug
No one knows when she’ll be leaving
No one knows when she’ll return
All these angels are made for flying
Between the ocean and the sun
The life you have, it has to end
And everything will pass again
The stones you throw,
They hold your name
They’ve already been everything
Even dust and delirium

SheBang!

I've come to see the alchemist
For a potion and her chocolates
“What do you want?”, she says to me
I want my sisters here with me
I turn it up the dark and dry
And chase her with a sweet goodbye
Delinquent men who pace the world
Feel inside the Warrior
Yes, I do believe in them
I feel a hero deep within
SheBang!
blow ur mind out
SheBang!
bang ur drum
Flying south and taking home
A hand drum and a carry-on
A bag of souvenirs for sale
The Wizards’ mysteries reveal
And the Tin Man he is here with me
Can you hear his shallow beat?
SheBang!
blow ur mind out
SheBang!
bang ur drum
She gives you ideas that will not leave your brain
She's got surprises that will test your sustain
Voo-doo drum, beat, bass - SheBang!
“We are not alone”, she says, “The waves speak of an Infinite.”
It’s sinkin’ in, it comes to me...
I am just a conduit
And the shaman she is here with me
Oh, can you taste her sweet relief?
SheBang!

Pie in the Sky

A free wheelin' woman on a long road trip
told me my life was the shape of the days I live
and any sick or twisted little piece of it
was a product of my own design
In a yellow belly beetle with black fenders
I drew two lines and I took each curve
down the road less travelled and I observed
it was the moment she was hitchin’ a ride
Oh, in a world so divided
She carries a light and a free prize inside
she keeps the key to her heart
in a pie in the sky
Oh, things around the city got a bit intense
between the old elm tree and a barbwire fence
but in my defense it was never my intent
to let that kiss get so out of control

Kitchen Conversation

Oh, your first move was so tender like a fiddlehead fern
Laugh girl, holding a smile
Drunk on a feeling and carelessly weaving
Your delicate story to mine
They say Love is an Art
Not a right or wrong answer
Fades at the side of routine
Oh so you conjured adventure
and we hung from the rafters
and tread lightly on each other dreams
Daddy's on the washtub,
Mama's on the bells
Aunitie's toy piano is
blowin' bubbles, raisin' hell
floatin' through the ceiling
in a juke joint kind of feelin'
that sweeps you and leads you along
They say Love is an Art
Not a right or wrong answer
Fades at the side of routine
Oh so you conjured adventure
and we hung from the rafters
and tread lightly on each other dreams

Filha de Bruxa

If all you have to do is learn the chorus
And all I have to do is find your eyes
We're balancing two hearts above a furnace
And hoping for machines to satisfy
The daughter of a witch she took my cornbread
She took my keys, she took my cherry pie
and I would follow her unto New Orleans
Or play the cobbled street of Palestine
All for the moon
Filha de Bruxa
I hope I have you home in time for breakfast
I hope I have a cup of your coffee
I hope I carry you to Minnesota
And ride you down The Old Mississippi
Filha de Bruxa
