Track Name: The Underground
THE UNDERGROUND

Welcome to the underground
this is the place we make the sounds that no one hears
We write those songs you think you've heard
but can't quite place
in other words...we're pioneers

Some of us thrive on rejection
we see through different ears
some of us strive for perfection
some of us make believe we're already there

Welcome to our lonely rooms,
this is the place we paid our dues, when they say don't
Perhaps this wasn't meant for you,
Perhaps you should go back to school... perhaps we won't

It's true we don't make much money
But still I'd like to be clear
At least we're not trying to sell you
something we ourselves would not want to hear

So, welcome to my mortal bliss
where dreams find wings in 4 track hiss then fly around
on dusty wheels & crinkled tape
the poison songs each pollinate a face of frowns

Unless you're planning on sorrow
the future will only let you down
I'd trade all my tomorrows
for an extended stay at the here & now

Cause if I touched everyone on earth
I would have very little worth
in the underground
Track Name: Elli B Butterfly
Elli B, butterfly, mon amie, what ya gonna do today?
I thought we'd take a ride, on my bike, over to the frozen lake then lay down in the sun, dream out loud, underneath the animal clouds & if you get too cold, take my coat, or sit a little closer

And tell me that my butterfly will never swim another's sky
Cause I don't want to roll the dice to see if fate is on my side

Wrap her up in a fairytale, take a ride to a castle on the mountain, spinning spokes bicycle wheels, drop a coin in the wishing well. Her wings are tattooed to my sky, her colours light, the road that I am traveling
&-I don't think my butterfly, will ever swim- another...

Oh tell me that my butterfly will never swim another man's sky.
Cause I don't think these mortal eyes have ever seen a more beautiful smile

And I don't think this butterfly will ever land beneath my sky.
And I don't think that shepherd's moon will hang around for long tonight.
Still, I don't think this lonely room has ever held a more beautiful light.
But all I saw was mystery while looking deep into your eyes
And I don't think these questions will get answered on the day that I die
And I don't think this butterfly will ever land beneath my sky.

Eli B, rose tattoo, butterfly, guess you're gonna fly on by.
Track Name: Lolynia
I'm still doing time, but I don't mind waiting
mind my state of mind, or I'll soon be fading

out of my world, lost from my thoughts
fading in dreams like ghosts forgotten
Cut from the frame, gone down the drain,
washed in the rain

But I'm not what you want, but my heart's still in it
tonight I'll sleep alone, but I still remember

up in your room, drunk on perfume
scary little girl with her bright eyes burning
windows of rain, hair daisy chained
the cold city lights on the broad horizon

I did not ever want to leave you in that room of treasures

I'm not what you need, but your hearts still in it
So I have to leave, oh my sweet Lolynia

I'm back on the street, off to myself, hanging with the band at red door alley
the old port of call, back to the wall, just watching it all

but I'm not what you need & but if your hearts still in it
don't wear it on your sleeve, sweet Lolynia

I'm out on the road, making new foes,
with the telephone jones, that's the life I'm living
nowhere for long, everyone's wrong
But they all know my songs except the one I'm singing... So please don't sing along.
Track Name: Unfortunate Son
I don't need no arms around me
& I don't need no words to ground me
& I'm not glad you found me at all
& I don't need no eyes to cry for me
I don't need no lips to lie for me
I can do it all on my own

I don't need anyone to find me,
with all of my better days behind me
I will do better sitting here on my own
& I know that more of you would love me,
if only I wouldn't be so ugly
you'd give me the prize if I would just play along
... I'm not playing along

I don't need the sun to shine on me,
I don't need to live in harmony
conflict is what moves us along
I don't need to get behind it
& I don't need to raise a sign for it
one man's right's another man's wrong

I don't think anyone is worth it,
we're not even good, 'less we rehears it
while deep in the mind there's things we'd never admit
like when we see faces that are smiling,
we know that they're animals & violent
but for to survive they know they must coexist
Oh no! not another generation,
your peace & your love is all stagnation
in fact I wish someone here would just drop the bomb

& I don't need those faces all around,
eyes all staring, looking up down
I guess I'm the unfortunate son
