Track Name: Mirror Jane
Jane goes to sleep in the back of my car
she is mute & disheveled all under the stars
that are twinkling irreverent to illuminate scars
on this widow hatched, trailer trash, angel of god
and her window is down so the breeze blows her hair
to feel light as a feather that swirls in the air
lost... never landing... where current is king
little fuck puppet freeing herself from her strings

In road-way-hum we are falling together
And headlight flow looks like ghost tears from heaven.

Jane takes a much deeper look at herself
ripped up old raggedy Anne on the shelf
that was put away torn in some bully boy's room
half wrapped up in spider webs, cat pissed & strewn

Little ghost child she stares just a while out the window.
Then she drifts back off in the warmth of dream's halo

She woke for a little while, looks all around
a face in my mirror smiles. we're so far from town

Somebody somewhere must know what she means
when she says that she's sinking more into that dream, that she's not really here nor has she ever been, she's just muddled thought, manifest, in god's brain obscene

And then silenced all so that no one will hear her
a lost heart beat just outside of the mirror

We just arrived yesterday, & for a short while
we have a safe place to stay, we turn off the light

And we both lay down in the same place together
Just two lost coins in the same box of treasure
And we all lay down in the same place together
And we're all lost coins in the same box of treasure
Till we all lay down in the graveyard together
we are all lost souls in the halls of forever.
Jane's falls asleep in the back of my car
Track Name: Star Falls
I have wandered blind into your garden, through a doorway, lost inside the dead of night
And I don't know if you can feel my spirit, watching you, sleeping to the morning light

And I... don't want to get use to this ...I need to get over it, long enough to say goodnight
And I ... just need to get over it . . . somehow I must forget, to wake up on the other side

We are both but wanderers of forests, dreaming souls, slip between those rings of light
Strung out on the lawns of black heart mansion sunshine dreams, neath patterns of the butterfly

And I... could really get use to this . . lost in your morning kiss, . . .lost inside your summer eyes.
And I... May not get over this . . no star falls without a wish . . .way up in this pauper's sky

Come with me oh daughter of the Woodlocks, reach to me through the crackle of the dying mind
May we fall ...angels from dark heavens, courtesans, pulsing through the dance of life... Pulsing

And you... you will get over this . . when stars fall without a wish...you just reach out to another light.
And you... you will get over us . . words spoken without trust...that's how we tell our favorite lies
Track Name: Window 'Neath The Stars
And when the morning came to find you with it's light
That's when I found I only dreamed of you last night
Now I wonder where you are, if you're alright
fairy fluttering through your storm, with your bracelets & your charms, I could never do you harm

There were times I thought the world was on my side
like when I saw my own reflection in your eyes
We fell into each other's arms & then we lie, Two spirits glowing in the night, with all the holy of the psalm... I would never do you wrong

(instr.)

And when the shadows come to bury me tonight
Should you wonder where I am, I am alright
Though I wish that we could share this moon tonight,
in my window neath the stars, so i could melt into your heart... I would never do you wrong
Track Name: Broke Heart Singer (LA)
I was in a place that I could not name
I was on my own, lost upon my way
to a place I'd never seen before.

And the path was long and the moon hung low
When I heard a voice on the radio
The golden sigh of a broke heart singer.

Sometimes the pauper is the poet
Sometimes the fool is wise
Sometimes the joker seems to know it.

He was in a place that he tried to name
Just an orphan child in the pouring rain
with a heart so old it was made by angels

In his tower room writing holy songs
that were so beautiful the devil sang along
His spirit sored above the weeper

Sometimes the blossom breaks it's branches
Sometimes the angels cry
Sometimes your father is a phantom

I didn't know you before they hung you from your halo
But somehow I knew you couldn't last for long, Save for song.

So if you're in a place that you cannot name
And you're all alone, lost upon your way
to a place you've never seen before

If your path seems long and the moon is low
You might hear the voice of some holy ghost
It's the golden sigh of the broke heart singer

Sometimes the silence is not golden.
Track Name: Venus Kissing Mars (Piano Demo)
We were really messed up, still we hung out all night
at blacksmith bar, where all is forgiven.
Shadow's plotting our fate, but we were too tired to wait, we both fell deep into each other.
The band played sad jamboree, as you were looking at me, with eyes like holy past life lovers.
And so we slipped off to your room
there beneath the stars
cause that's just what you supposed to do
on nights when Venus kisses Mars.
I was really strung out, i left her sleeping in the
shadows cast by street lights through her window.
I left my ghost in her room, I walked up 5th avenue,
through morning faces that know no happy ending.
She stirs alone in her bed, the empty bottles, no more stars, just window taps from outside branches.
I sleep it off, I fix a drink & then I'm back out with the boys.
We play our songs, we move along, so much for filling up the void.
I'd love to stay & comfort you or maybe find out who you are.
Oh but instead, I'll write this song & call it "Venus Kissing Mars"
She was really messed up, she sat up drinking all alone on roof top, heartbeats still remember.
She's still that same little girl, but now abandoned,
laying strung out crying, heartbeat cold December.
Up in the chimney smoke, she raised her glass,
silent toasts, to ghost of lovers, fade like embers.
She's found her place back in her room,
watching late night movie shows.
It's true these dreams are not her own,
but that's all you've got when dreams are gone.
He's found his place, out on the streets,
back home with anyone he meets.
But he will leave them with a smile,
if they don't let it get too deep.
To boys still hanging out in bars,
To girls still trapped behind the stars.
On nights like this, we long for bliss,
that's only Venus Kissing Mars
Track Name: The Stripper (Piano Demo)
If I had a million I know that I'd be free, said the ugly voice inside of thee.
Or if you hit the big time girl, well maybe then they'd see, that there's something beautiful in thee.
Something that's so beautiful, it's spiritual, it's animal, it's anything it needs to be.
It's raven clawed, it's tentacled, it's writhing on it's pedestal, unfolding inside of thee.

When I took a moment just to watch you on your stage, you're a child that dances 'round it's grave.
I hide behind the candle in the corner of the room, and I try to dream us far away.
'cause I don't want to see you in a state of feigned relations, bending holy to stranger's smiles
For soon there'll come a night your golden light will turn against you, you'll be pulled to the other side.

If they lived forever still they'd never live to see, all the pain that's there inside of thee.
"If they'd turn the lights out here then everyone agrees, that there's something wrong inside of me."
It butterfly's in faces, then goes fluttering cross stages, orchestrating the coming days.
So gather 'round my childhood friends, we all know how the story ends, so nobody turn the page. . .
