Strange days never felt the same Always on the run Wonder round like the miracle sun Ready to come undone Miracle drifter Always no rain in the canyon rays Split the cactus in three The stars lit your minds so bright that night Once blind I can see Follow the wind, a new light The buried-within released into the night The desert cascading from the center of the sun Penetrate the day both lucid and brave New horizons light the way One more slip into midnights kiss The hours melting away Follow the wind, a new light The buried-within released into the night The desert cascading from the center of the sun

Desert Rain 06:55
Soaking wet Feel it dripping through your silhouette Staring at the canyon walls I see pictures in your breath Fill the cracks Pouring down from the gods Disappear from it all Dancing in the desert rain Set my soul free Drained all philosophy, rolling on our backs My spirit animal came to me said come with me and see Rising up we’re high dripping cross the borderlines Look deep in your eyes Strobe light from the lightning strikes Dancing in the desert rain Soaked to the bone, we huddled by the fire Standing at the edge of space, where we all conspired Take another turn cause you never know when it’s your last Our heads as one we share a good laugh

We drove the winding road Through the meadows and the hillside Taking turns at arriving Making love for the first time Fading deep into sunset Waking up with the stars Zigging and zagging Through the hairpins of life We arrived in the city But all the lights went dim I had a feeling of falling So we gave it a spin A dagger straight to my heart To many words to begin I’ll make it up someday I’ll find the strength from within Taking turns at arriving So we buried the hatchet Started out on our own Living the good life Found a place to call home We’ve always been family And now we started our own Making it real nice A little place to warm our bones Taking turns at arriving Never grew up right Big hearts to still fill Never got the message Never took the pills Always searching for answers Still finding our way Still having a good life You still take me away Taking turns at arriving

New New 08:49
Head lights on walk straight in the room Got a burning desire to make the evening bloom Three fingers in my glass bite the bullet, lick the cube Feed the flame, find a brand new new Spilling out in the streets Headed for the ball If we stay here to long, they might catch us all Now I feel glued, didn’t wear the right shoes One more cup and I’m gone, and I’m gone and I’m gone Only through worlds left unseen, will I emerge Holding on to this turning light, the fire it burns Did we stray away somewhere? Did the blind lead the blind? I’m ready to come unhinged But your wine tastes fine These powers take over my head caves in Just spin me around again No lesson in Zen

Last Line 06:03
So you picked up You headed out of town so quick, you tripped On your first step on your last day You barely even said goodbye Tires to the tar, gonna go far Smiles to them all Gotta get out and go, this town can’t hold me no more Setting Suns, on the run, so much fun Got to find a light to call my only one Heard the same so I picked up my ways and changed Now this land will never be the same The road is rocky Pull up your socks and punch the clock Your feeling so salty, No one to blame, better light your flame and get in the game Want it more than the first time Gotta go at it every day Learned enough from your last line Now you’re ready, you’re ready to play Looking down from the mountain The valley never glowed so green Shouting words like a fountain Inside the boy will never be free Sailed the seas, hugged the trees On bended knees, I’ve tried to please But I just want to be me To tired, just let it be Want it more than the first time Gotta go at it every day Learned enough from your last line Now you’re ready, you’re ready to play

Sitting on the edge Of both fear and delight An endless night When will the sun Wash away this midnight sky I’m too afraid to fly Oh, an endless night, but I’m alright Howl of the shadow ghosts Echoes through these canyon walls Pray for morning light Oh, an endless night, but I’m alright Ride the wind Embrace the child from within Never too late to begin Time is what you bring Oh, an endless night Breezes blowing now Feel the glow of a new day Warm and bright Oh, an endless night, but I’m alright

Space Coyote 09:58
The infinite whimsy of diamonds alight Calm morning waves, relief for the night Breathe to the heavens and dream beyond Rise over the mountains and gaze upon A Laughing Coyote from Space Bearing gifts of Fire and Song Desert Lightning and the Cactus Prick The oyster’s pearl at your fingertips Howling winds and nights so cold Good intentions both bought and sold Laugh at the Space Coyote And Rise Up Courageous and Bold The face in the Space Coyote A Wizard’s smiling hues Gathering seasons of weather Dance in the light of the moon Ever mesmerizing orbs in the sky Silver tongued charlatans? You know better, guy! Coyote the Trickster, Coyote the Saint Coyote on time, or fashionably late Coyote remember your song A heart full of love fears no fate
9.
Don’t rest your head to soon The moonlight waits in bloom Tomorrow’s skies are green The heaviness unseen Beyond the time Beyond the time Space light glows, in another world In parts unknown, we search Forgot the dream, but we follow through And pass the torch to a broken youth Can’t go outside to breath Stop the fighting and the greed Reach out your hand to a fallen seed Let’s bend the light and see
