When its only in your mind”

Sexy Plexi.
Song lyrics, Brushfire Fairytales (2001)

“And I don't pretend to know what you know
no no
now please don't pretend to know what's on my mind
if we already knew everything that everybody knows
we would have nothing to learn tonight
and we would have nothing to show tonight
oh but everybody thinks
that everybody knows
about everybody else
nobody knows
anything about themselves
cause they're all worried about everybody else.”

Wasting Time.
Song lyrics, On and On (2003)

all of the answers I would
Not hold them from you. You'd

We told each other, there is no other way.”

No Other Way.
Song lyrics, In Between Dreams (2005)

“It seems to me that maybe,
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go
And often times we're lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one
Likes to be let down”

Flake.
Song lyrics, Brushfire Fairytales (2001)

“Well I guess you could say
That he don't even know where to begin
Cause he looked both ways but he was so afraid
Diggin' deeper through the ditch
With every chance he missed
And the mess he made
Cause hate is such a strong word
And every brick he laid
A mistake they say
That his walls are getting taller
His world is getting smaller.”

Staple It Together
Song lyrics, In Between Dreams (2005)

“The telephone is singing
Ringing it's too early
Don't pick it up
We don't need to we got everything
We need right here
And everything we need is enough
Just so easy
When the whole world fits inside of your arms
Don't really need to pay attention to the alarm.”

Banana Pancakes.
Song lyrics, In Between Dreams (2005)

How many years and you've barely even tasted
Anything remotely close to
Everything you've boasted about
Look who's crying now.”

But not so many cried at the terrible sight
Well mama said

So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
On the news tonight”

Bubble Toes.
Song lyrics, Brushfire Fairytales (2001)

“Well I know some people's they got a little less than nothing
But still find some to spare
And other people got more than they could use
But they don't share
And some people got problems man
They got awful complications
Other people got perfect situations
With no provocation”

Middle Man.
Song lyrics, Brushfire Fairytales (2001)

“Well if I was in your position
I'd put down all my ammunition
I'd wondered why'd it take me so long.
But Lord knows that I'm not you
And if I was I wouldn't be so cruel
Cause waiting on love ain't so easy to do.”

Good People.
Song lyrics, In Between Dreams (2005)

“Inaudible melodies
Serve narrational strategies
Unobtrusive tones
Help to notice nothing but the zone
Of visual relevancy
Frame-lines tell me what to see
Chopping like an axe
Or maybe Eisenstein should just relax”

Inaudible Melodies.
Song lyrics, Brushfire Fairytales (2001)

“Here comes another one, just like the other one
Looking at himself but wishing he was someone else
Because the posters on the wall they don't look like him
And so he ties it up he tucks it in, he pulls it back and gives a grin
Laughing at himself because he knows he ain't loved at all
He knows he ain't loved at all”

Better Together.
Song lyrics, In Between Dreams (2005)

“Losing hope is easy
When your only friend is gone
And every time you look around
Well, it all, it all just seems to change
But hanging on is easy
When you've got a friend to call
When nothings making sense at all
You're not the only one that's afraid of change”

Losing Hope
Song lyrics, Brushfire Fairytales (2001)

“They got this and that with a rattle a tat.
Testing, one, two, man whatcha gonna do?
Bad news misused, got too much to lose.
Give me some truth now, whose side are we on?
Whatever you say.
Turn on the boob tube, I’m in the mood to obey.
So lead me astray.”

Good People.
Song lyrics, In Between Dreams (2005)

“Well, dust off your thinking caps
Solar powered plastic plants
Pretty pictures of things we ate
We are only what we hate
But in the long run we have found
Silent films are full of sound
Inaudibly free
Slow down everyone
You're moving too fast
Frames can't catch you when
You're moving like that”

Inaudible Melodies.
Song lyrics, Brushfire Fairytales (2001)

“With everything ahead of us
We left everything behind.
But nothing that we needed;
At least not at this time.
And now the feeling that I’m feeling,
Well it’s feeling like my life is finally mine.
With nothing to go back to we just continue to drive.”

Broken.
Song lyrics, Sing-A-Longs and Lullabies for the Film Curious George (2006)

“Love is the answer at least for most of the questions in my heart
Like: why are we here? And where do we go? And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing its always better when we're together.”

Better Together.
Song lyrics, In Between Dreams (2005)

“I know she loves the sunrise
No longer sees it with her sleeping eyes
And I know that when she said she's gonna try
Well it might not work because of other ties and
I know she usually has some other ties
And I wouldn't want to break 'em, nah, I wouldn't want to break 'em
Maybe she'll help me to untie this but
Until then well, I'm gonna have to lie too”

“When you’re so lonely lying in bed,
Night’s closed it’s eyes but you can’t rest your head.
Everyone’s sleeping all through the house,
You wish you could dream but forgot to somehow.

Sing this lullaby to yourself.”

Lullaby.
Song lyrics, Sing-A-Longs and Lullabies for the Film Curious George (2006)

“Who’s to say what’s impossible?
Well they forgot this world keeps spinning.
And with each new day,
I can feel a change in everything.

And as the surface breaks, reflections fade.
But in some ways they remain the same.
And as my mind begins to spread it’s wings
There’s no stopping curiosity.”

Upside Down.
Song lyrics, Sing-A-Longs and Lullabies for the Film Curious George (2006)

“Well I was eating lunch at the D. L. G.
When this little girl came and she sat next to me
I never seen nobody move the way she did
Well she did and she does and she'll do it again.
When you move like a jellyfish
Rhythm don't mean nothing
You go with the flow
You don't stop
Move like a jellyfish
Rhythm is nothing
You go with the flow
You don't stop”

The News.
Song lyrics, Brushfire Fairytales (2001)

“You can't blame me sure the killer was my son
but I didn't teach him to pull the trigger of the gun
It's the killing on this tv screen
you can't blame me it's those images he's seen.
Well you can't blame me says the media man
Well I wasn't the one who came up with the plan
And I just point my camera at what the people want to see
Man it's a two way mirror and you can't blame me.”

Cookie Jar.
Song lyrics, On and On (2003)

“Look at all those fancy clothes
but these could keep us warm just like those
and what about your soul, is it cold
is it straight from the mold and ready to be sold
and cars and phones and diamond rings, bling bling
those are only removeable things
and what about your mind, does it shine oh
are there things that concern you more than your time”
