i feel the man receding...passing to the dream
neverending vistas of pixilated screens
mind and soul detaching
from the world he knew so well
is he heading for his heaven?
or being tricked into his hell?
(chorus)
don't let the lights confuse you
it's really not the same
he's heading down another road
and he can't stop it now
'cause he's caught in the game
i see the many changes...in all i do not see
what is going on in his electric dreams
there's no sun or weather
nowhere for rain to fall
he's rising in the standings
and headed for the wall
(chorus)
don't let the lights confuse you
it's really not the same
he's heading down another road
and he can't stop it now
'cause he's caught in the game
(bridge)
the colors shine so brightly
all the while he is plugged in
no other need can supercede
the need to do it again
(do it again)
(chorus)
don't let the lights confuse you
it's really not the same
he's heading down another road
and he can't stop it now
'cause he's caught in the game

Alien Hand
fight the darkness
with an alien hand
bring the lightning
fuse the sand
walk on rock
made by man
fight the darkness
with an alien hand
kill the pain then
with a drink from home
seize your dream
as it passes on
place your bets
let them show
kill the pain then
with a drink from home

Lose Me
if i can't be who you want me to be
no one's forcing you to stay
if i won't say what you want me to say
it might be better anyway
if i move on down the highway
find another place
leave you to yourself
to find another way
(chorus)
and let you lose me
somewhere in the stars
you can lose me
and stay right where you are
nothing would be better
than this if we were wrong
you should lose me
giddy up and carry on
if you don't need what i wanted to give
and i've nothing else you need
if you don't see what you need in me
if i can't bring you up to speed
i should move on down the highway
find another place
leave you to yourself
to find a better way
and let you lose me
somewhere in the stars
you can lose me
and stay right where you are
nothing would be better
than this if we were wrong
you should lose me
giddy up and carry on
(bridge)
i never meant that i should be a chain
that was holdin' on to you
i never wanted to be someone else
for some temporary situation
that really has no use
(chorus)
i'll let you lose me
somewhere in the stars
you can lose me
and stay right where you are
nothing would be better
than this if we were wrong
you should lose me
giddy up and carry on

Tragedy of Hope
if there was one love that i could have
that i have never spoken of
then it would be the best love
the greatest love
when the souls have joined before they know
no time
no touch
to make it so
simple feelings touch the heart
better than the flesh
and the dream lives on
that can never be
the tragedy of hope
keeps it going
the days go by
and i'll never know
what could ever be
when dreams emerge from night
into the light of day
(2009 db michel)

Looks Like Rain
Lookin for some sunshine
it's another crazy day
but the sky is getting darker
the color of my pain
looks like rain
looks like the shoe's about to fall
looks like rain
and I don't feel a thing at all
I dream of something better
but it always ends the same
each day is like the other
looks like rain
lookin' for some answers
not a lot to say
the glow that used to shine down
has all but gone away
looks like rain
looks like the shoe's about to fall
looks like rain
and I don't feel a thing at all
I dream of something better
but it always ends the same
each day is like the other
looks like rain

I'm Gettin; Older (And I'm Growin' Up Slow)
i ain't got a dollar to my name
for what it's worth it doesn't mean a thing
i could have a thousand
a million bucks or more
but i'd blow it all on happiness
and end up on the floor
used to be so easy
to dream a young man's dreams
life goes on and i find out
it's harder than it seems
i try to make it better
as down the road i go
but i'm gettin' older
and i'm growin' up slow
I could be the king of everything
but titles don't do me no good at all
if you can't be a winner
in the game you wanna play
there ain't no home or castle
gonna please you anyway
used to be so easy
to dream a young man's dreams
life goes on and i find out
it's harder than it seems
i try to make it better
as down the road i go
but i'm gettin' older
and i'm growin' up slow
i once thought i'd be there
on that bandstand on TV
i'm still waitin' for the call
stuck somewhere in between
used to be so easy
to dream a young man's dreams
life goes on and i find out
it's harder than it seems

The Alien
(Verse 1)
he comes to save us
he comes to win
he's out there waiting
to do it all again
there is something
he means to change
something better
but it's all the same
(chorus)
and you can call him the alien
'cause of what he's done
you can call him the wind
you can call him whatever you want
he'll come calling again
(verse 2)
he lives the nightlife
he sleeps by day
he's looking for light
in everything
he's a dreamer
can't find his dream
you can see him
in everything he's been
(chorus)
and you can call him the alien
'cause of what he's done
you can call him the wind
you can call him whatever you want
he'll come calling again
(bridge)
from the billion points of light
scattered in the darkened sky
he is far from home
he is missing them tonight
(chorus)

you can call him whatever you want

Let The Fools Carry On
you may not believe it
you may not want to know
it's not ours to understand
if they wander leave them be
if they holler...give them peace
just let the fools carry on

let the fools carry on
the way they are
let the fools carry on
do what they gonna do
till it's over and done

you may not condone it
you may not think it's right
this is not a world that we know
if they rumble let them be
if they're looking...let them see

When I Left Indiana
i was just a kid
but i didn't know it
i was just another
fool out on the make
i thought i knew it all
then i took my graceless fall
left me pickin' up the pieces
headed for the gates
it's been a long time
since i left indiana
been a long time gone
ain't never goin' back
nearly lost my mind
then i left indiana
hard to think about it now
it seems so far away
lived out on the ocean
of a thousand whiskey bottles
the coast of indiana
where the bottles break
i thought i had it covered
later i discovered
a million heartaches later
i was just a waste
it's been a long time
since i left indiana
been a long time gone
ain't never goin' back
nearly lost my mind
then i left indiana
hard to think about it now
it seems so far away
could it be so many years
that live on unforgotten
could it be i'm crazy
for thinking of them now
it's been a long time
since i left indiana
been a long time gone
ain't never goin' back
nearly lost my mind

Empty Is My World (Without You)
This is an original song lyric performed as a recitation...I'm having a lil trouble getting the music done.
Btw...For those who may be curious...This was written as a take on what a friendly message from an extra-terrestrial intelligence might be if decoded...And human reflection on what such an experience might be like...The friendly and rather lonely alien message...Empty is my world...without you...

I Got The Feelin'
i've been away awhile
it was no place like home
not the kind of place
i would ever pay to go
i spent my time
all alone with myself
everything i loved
was out there
in somewhere else
now i'm headed for the door
i ain't stayin' here no more
i got the feelin'
and home is on my mind
hey, i got the feelin'
i'm gonna get back to mine
i paid my living dues
you can read it in the news
i got the feelin'
and it's mighty fine
i did you wrong back then
it was my fault all along
i wasn't thinkin' clearly then
it was like my mind was gone
i'm hoping you
have forgiveness in your heart
please tell me baby
that you want a brand new start
i was out there all alone
now i wanna get back home
i got the feelin'
and home is on my mind
hey, i got the feelin'
i'm gonna get back to mine
i paid my living dues

When The Bite Follows Kiss
the outsider
waiting like a snake
to take over
and change your world
the outsider
overrules the hearts
of the steadfast
and tears them apart
who do you love?
who do you trust
who really matters?
when the outsider changes the game
voices changing
from afar
comes to make
their own way with others
comes to take
what they had before
and make it like
their own parlour
sweetness and smiles
soft tender light
hard to see
when the bark turns to bite
i just leave
when the bark turns to bite
sweetness and smiles
soft tenderness
hard to feel
when the bite follows kiss
i just leave
when the bite follows kiss

I Won't Say A Thing At All
i think about you sometimes
in the middle of the day
and wonder where the time has gone
i dream about the moments
we never thought to take
there's nothin' there to leave
so why move on?
i could have said so many things
you could have said so many things
the time has passed to my regret
what we had back then is all we'll get
i see your face in random dreams
i'll pretend it don't mean anything
the time has passed for me to call
so i won't say a thing at all
i wonder 'bout the life we missed
while i'm sitting home alone
and think about the tragedies of life
i hold on to the moments
i looked into your eyes
but the past can't be revived
'cause it's all gone
i could have said so many things
you could have said so many things

Friends
how did we find each other?
what made us such good friends?
why did we learn to lean on each other?
shoulder to shoulder...again and again
those precious days behind us
time passes and we've grown apart
still i know i would have been much less
without your friendship in my heart
when i think about you these days
i think about a time so sweet
when the only thing we had to know
we were friends because we needed to be

Together
break these chains of pain
keep the faith and pray
we will make it through
together
believe there is a way
to take the love we save
give it to the world
together
and i know now
at this moment we are hurtin'
we'll shine like diamonds in the end
i know now
that even though we're hurtin'
we're strong together
'cause we're friends
let the cynics cry
say we're all gonna die
we will prove them wrong
together
we know better now
we can show them how
we can learn to fly
together
and i know now
at this moment we are hurtin'
we'll shine like diamonds in the end
i know now
that even though we're hurtin'
we're strong together
