The Floater
V1
you only call me
when your tractor is stuck out in the field
you only listen
when i beg and plead
i have to seal the deal
now billy's gone a floating face down
in the waters of the cumberland
and mama she's found a brand new gin
to start drinking
Chorus
Home
V2
i only wanted to lift
a little weight off my chest
billy looked mighty tired
so i laid him on down to rest
now i have gone a searching from
state to state looking for
a little bit of freedom
and the only comfort i can find
comes from the bottom of a shiny new magnum
Chorus
Home
cause i don't want to live
well i don't want to be left alone...anymore
so billy
i'm coming home
the Swim
V1
you say you got lost in your plastic dream
you drown in your thoughts
you think there's a heaven
so your hopes are up
next time maybe you should just dry up
before you slip and you fall
Chorus
you think the world is such a wonderful place
you think america's a disgrace
you fell on your sword
just the other day
you long for your armor today
you want to drown out the thoughts again
you never seem to know where you've been
you drown out the world again my friend
i bet you wish that you could swim
V2
you say you got lots of pretty things
and you feel really free
but you broke the levy
you're coming down
you're going down
you've hit the ground
you better watch your
...your step
Chorus
you think the world is such a wonderful place
you think america's a disgrace
you fell on your sword
just the other day
you long for your armor today
you want to drown out the thoughts again
you never seem to know where you've been
you drown out the world again my friend
i bet you wish that you could swim
(bridge (operatic))
Chorus
you think the world is such a wonderful place
you think america's a disgrace
you fell on your sword
just the other day
you long for your armor today
you want to drown out the thoughts again
you never seem to know where you've been
you drown out the world again my friend
i bet you wish that you could swim...now
Heavy Hand
V1
i don't like to lay down
or fall down on my knees
i don't like the shake down
the hey, the you, the freeze
Pre-Chorus
pursuit by blue
don't even bother
pursued by you
don't need a caller
V2
i don't like the photographs
the caught in headlights stare
i don't need no floating raft
to take me out of anywhere
Pre-Chorus
pursuit by blue
don't even bother
pursued by you
don't need a caller
Chorus
need a new escape plan
avoid the heavy heavy hand
need a new escape plan
avoid the heavy heavy hand
Pre-Chorus
pursuit by blue
don't even bother
pursued by you
don't need a caller
Chorus
need a new escape plan
avoid the heavy heavy hand
need a new escape plan
avoid the heavy heavy hand
need a new escape plan
avoid the heavy heavy hand
need a new escape plan
avoid the heavy heavy hand
Altazar
V1
having been away so long
i can't remember
the sound of your voice
did you never get my letters
they must have gotten
lost on their course
Chorus
altazar seems so far
away from here
these ever changing stars
are light years
altazar seems so far
away from here
these ever reaching stars
are light years
V2
slipping in and out of time
dimension retention
is never a choice
the worm's whole is quivering
and now i have fallen
out of range and off of course
Chorus
altazar seems so far
away from here
these ever changing stars
are light years
altazar seems so far
away from here
these ever reaching stars
are light years
(instrumental break and solo)
Chorus
altazar seems so far
away from here
these ever changing stars
are light years
altazar seems so far
away from here
these ever reaching stars
are light years

Invade Your Space
music by Rosemary Haskins and patrick Himes
V 1
do you mind if i sit here
cuz i don't want to invade your space
do you come here often dear
i don't mean to pry
but you look sort of out of place
well this park bench sits well
supports my body and soul
well i don't mean to dig to deeply
i'm not looking to create a hole
Chorus
well your silence
it screamed at me so loud
i though you wanted to talk
but instead we both sat there impatiently
as you
you keep glancing at your watch
V2
well i'm not sure that i should sit here
i feel sort of out of place
well you don't have to say a word dear
i can see the kindness in your face
maybe on a different day
and on a better time
when i ask how are you dear
your answer will be i am fine
Chorus
well your silence
it screamed at me so loud
i though you wanted to talk
but instead we both sat there impatiently
as you
you keep glancing at your watch
(bridge/solo)
Chorus
well your silence
it screamed at me so loud
i though you wanted to talk
but instead we both sat there impatiently
as you
you keep glancing at your watch

How to be…
music by Rosemary Haskins
V1
I could sleep all day
And it would be ok
Find my Sunday afternoon vision
I could slip through the door
And take a little bit more
Of you heart if you could only imagine
i could be there for the fall
or maybe just a phone call
if you would only take he time to listen
or I could sleep all day
and it would be ok
find my Sunday afternoon vision
Chorus
How to be open
And in your thoughts
How to pick a plan where I left off
How to be open
And in your thoughts
And how to pick a plan where we left off
V2
So we should sleep all day
To pass the time away
Have a Sunday afternoon reunion
We could slip though the door
And take a little bit more
Of their hearts if they could only imagine
We could sneak down the hall
Or maybe into a stall
If you could only see what you’ve been missing
So let’s sleep all day
To pass the time away
Have a Sunday afternoon reunion
Chorus
How to be open
And in your thoughts
How to pick a plan where I left off
How to be open
And in your thoughts
And how to pick a plan where we left off
Solo over verse
Chorus
How to be open
And in your thoughts
How to pick a plan where I left off
How to be open
And in your thoughts
And how to pick a plan where we left off
