Ride the Monkey

Well there's no whiskey

And I ain't got no wine

It's just me, alone all the time

But if you see me passing by

Won't you stop and say "Hi"

Cause I'm tired and I'm lonely

And I'm so scared no one will ever know me 

You see, I ain't got no love

There's nothing burning inside

Ain't got no friends

There's no one to confide

But there's this road, cold and black

And a feeling to go, and never look back

Just keep running until I can find

A little more whiskey, and some more wine

Evermore

She see's a bit of herself in everything

She thinks her voice alone will help take wing

But turbulent waters swirl and spin

trembling from emotions held deep within

They carry with them the seeds of yesterday

so blindly disregarded and tossed away

Soon the gentle breeze will overcome

the awkward seas and the rising sun

to regain it's prowess and hold the tune

so elegantly sung under the Jupiter moon

So ride on thru the heavy mist

and dream yourself beyond the phantom kiss

til you lie once again upon the ancient shore

where the shimmering wind blows you back to Evermore

Images of Broken Hearts

Dreams fall from the highest heights

Collapsing without a sound in the dark of the night

Shuddering and shaking, their broken bodies bleed

The very essence of life's nuturing seed


Images of broken hearts lure me in false pretense

Their twisted words do their best to convince

Hidden meanings to emerge from murky waters cold and deep

You know, the queit spots where the secrets we keep

Thinly veiled and held close to the breast

They'd be far better off free, but we hold them there none the less


Cruelties handed out, pain received with the ease of a casual kiss

Entertainment surreal, life sublime, there's no where to turn in the fury of 

Midnight's hiss
