Touch the Ground

TOUCH THE GROUND
Everywhere you’ve been
I can see the tell-tale signs
Fingerprints on dreams
A strand of hair you left behind
CHO
Now I know my darlin’
Why your feet never make a sound
Oh I know my angel
Cos your feet never touch the ground.
A deserted street
Your perfume lingers in the air
A second hand boutique
Your disguise is just hanging there
BRI
In a moonlit alley way
I found your flowers in the dirt
Snow flakes and old blood stains
You floated up from all the hurt.
On a lonely beach
I traced your shadow in the sand
Close but out of reach
One step ahead, the perfect plan.

Mountain Air

She takes a deep breath
Of the cool mountain air
The breath of the gods
When last they were there
A long long time ago
Before the age of men
Then she feels a chill
Watching the smog descend.
He takes a deep breath
Of the hot desert air
The breath of humanity
Upon a land once fair
A long long time ago
Before the age of men
Then he feels the heat
Drying out his skin.
They take a deep breath
Of the moist ocean air
Their feet in the water
Kicking the waves of despair
Their arms outstretched
Their voices singing in prayer
But noone up there is listening
The gods no longer care.

Have Your Way

She’s far away
And way too deep
Deep in the heart
Of a deep blue sea
Riding the rip tide
Ripping the heart wide
Tearing out the inside
Loving that wild ride
She’s just gotta have her way
Just gotta have her way.
He’s a half awake
Half a world away
Roaming strange lands
On a strange new day
Sweet dreams left unknown
Wild seeds left unsown
Crazy wind unblown
Broken heart overgrown
He’s just gotta have his way
Just gotta have his way.
They’ve drifted apart
They’re part of the way
To a bad and bitter end
Gotta turn back today
Before it is too late
Before both hearts break
Before the baby wakes
There’s far too much at stake
They both gotta give some way
Both gotta give some way.

What Awaits Me

What Awaits Me
Don’t know what awaits me
As I’m driving out today
Wherever the road takes me
In my trusty old Chevrolet
Grow into what I must become
Through wind, hail, rain and sun
Fight until the war is won
And my duty is done.
Don’t know what awaits me
As I’m driving out today
Wherever the road takes me
In my lusty old Chevrolet
A smile from the girl I adore
A kiss and a wish for more
As I step out and open the door
Hear the engine roar.
BRI
And whatever may await me
I know that it’ll turn out ok
As long as you’re sitting beside me
As we drive down that dark highway.
I know what awaits me
As I’m driving out today
And where the road will take me
In my dusty old Chevrolet
But I’ll turn my back on old age
Toss it out on a crumpled page
Live each day in youthful rage
Flee the cage.

Perfectly Happy Here

Perfectly Happy Here
You’re safe, here with me
No one else as far as I can see
We both knew, we both agreed
There’s no one else we’ll ever need.
CHO
If the world would just leave us alone
If the world would simply disappear
If the world would stay outside our home
We’d be perfectly happy here.
All the fighting, all those wars
All the trouble beyond our door
So much grief, so much crime
Ever since the dawn of time.
BRI
Hiding out far far away
Treasuring the simple things
Each single heartbeat brings
Welcoming the brand new day
There’s nothing else we miss
There’s nothing more than this
This is where you and I will stay.

One Hell of a Ride

One Hell of a Ride
Did you see me drive your demons
out in the street
Did you see me ride your lightening
through the air
Did I make your heart race
and then skip a beat
Did I get under your skin
all the way into your hair.
CHO
Well I/you/we know baby I/you/we know
What you’re/I’m/we’re like on the inside
So baby let’s go …
It’s one hell of a ride.
Did you hear me sing like an angel
among the stars
Did you hear my terrible thunder
rolling in
Do you wonder who on earth
we really are
Do you wonder where on earth
we even begin.
Yes we tasted the sweetness
of true true love
And we tasted the bitterness
of a cruel cruel war
Do we believe there’s nothing
we can’t rise above
Do we believe the other is worth
living and dying for.
BRI
All those years
Of empty space
Alone and lost somewhere
Wrong time wrong place
Till that moment
I met you
The beginning of everything
Out of the blue.
