‘CARRY ON’

Prelude: 

Looking back at things, our chariot had wings, cherry purple, fractal colors, played on broken strings..

Making up our rules, with silver plated tools, we fray away an endless day, til morning sunlit dew..

and then the day it came, when everything had changed,

the sky became so dark--the moon looked blue and strange

broken hearted boy,  they took away his toy..

cast him from that garden place,

removed him from his joy.

MAIN:

Verse 1:

Blue eyes are gone, still I fail to carry on

those days are gone, as we sailed the setting sun.

Believed to be, romantic tales would set us free

Those days are gone--still I fail to carry on

Chorus

I may be strong, and I believed I was for so long

I may have been wrong, for believing she was the one..

Verse 2:

Perfect, she grieves, is no petal laid at her feet

Gives no reprieves, there's no medal the hero recieves.

The broke price you paid, is that you carried another day

but our time is gone, still I fail to carry on

Chorus:

I may be strong, and I believed I was for so long

I may have been wrong, for believing she was the one

I may be wise--but anger flows from my hurting eyes

Now those days are gone…still I fail to carry on

Bridge

it rings true all the time

as i read between the lie

its time to draw the line

that she never would ---be mine

Chorus

I may be strong, and I believed I was for so long

I may have been wrong, for believing she was the one

I may be wise--but anger flows from my hurting eyes

Now those days are gone…still I fail to carry on

‘SNAKE EYES’

Verse 1:

Pick your poisons what she said..

Drink it every day until your dead.

Drink it on your way to New Orleans...

The sight of you is too obscene

CHORUS:

I lead my heart astray

I let my passion play

Rolled a pair of dice and came up clean

I rolled them twice again

Snake eyes turned and then

I felt the venom from the sting….

Verse 2:

Take your pills or drink your rye..

Just get it straight right from my eyes

 Never want to see your face again

I dont care how, but I do care when

CHORUS:

I left a poor display

I let my soul decay

rolled a pair of dice and came up clean

I rolled them twice again

Snake eyes turned and then

I felt the venom from the sting

(bridge musical)

You got your thrill now who's to blame?

You gave me chills now live in shame..

Can't bear to hear your voice again

There's no such thing as ‘just a friend’

I let it waste away

I slept my days away

and now the dice are never clean

I rolled them twice again

Snake eyes turned and then

I felt the venom from the sting..

Pick your poisons what she said… 

Drink it every day until you're…

dead..

 'ONE AND ONLY FAN'

Verse 1:

Lucy said,

come sit on by my bed

take your time, bring the wine

ill bring the bread

close your eyes

try and guess at my disguise

What you see

a reverie to your surprise

-all the phony non believers

all the crude judgmental fevers

doubting everything

your fed

tune them out don’t take a listen

simply let your senses christen

urges swirling in your head.

Verse 2:

Lucy plead

come back and play again

bring your dime, ill blow your mind

and be your friend

-all the little dancer divas

preying on the local visas

stealing what they care to spend

all the brittle ego mommas

trading on their soulless dramas

banking on the soulless trends

BRIDGE (musical)

Verse 3:

Lucy said—good to see your face again

pull up close

let me lead this time instead

lucy plead

give me more time on the bed

well make it last

you’re my one and only fan

oh —sorry to leave you high and dry

Its time to take the dime and fly

please dont ask why

its just that  time, I know you’ll miss me

please dont ever try and kiss me

see you next time

BRIDGE 2+
