About the CD
Absolutley fantastic. It is the newest CD, and a must have. It was produced by Mark Trombino and JEW. The compact disc was released by Capitol Records and the double LP was released by Big Wheel Recreation. The disc is very mellow and full of great vocals and lyrics, as well as some cool percusion and drum machines.

TABLE FOR GLASSES.SWEEP THE DIRTY STAIRS, THE ONES I WAITED ON. THIS IS JUST FOR ME. I FELT IT WATCHING HER. IT HAPPENS TOO FAST TO MAKE SENSE OF IT. TO MAKE IT LAST. WHERE DO YOU INTEND TO GO WITH YOUR DIRTY DRESS? LEAD MY SKEPTIC SIGHT TO THE TABLE AND THE LIGHT. IT HAPPENED TOO FAST TO MAKE SENSE OF IT. TO MAKE IT LAST. NOT ASKING OF ME ANYTHING, SAYING NOYHING ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS, WITHOUT ANYBODY TELLING ME HOW I SHOULD FEEL, LEAD MY SKEPTIC SIGHT.
LUCKY DENVER MINTTHIS TIME IT'S ON MY OWN. MINUTES FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE. SOMEWHERE I MADE A WISH WITH LUCKY DENVER MINT. HURRY GO ON AHEAD. GOOD THINGS WON'T LET YOU WAIT. I'LL CATCH UP WHEN WE GET HOME. AT HOME I'LL LEAVE. A DOLLAR UNDERWATER KEEPS ON DREAMING FOR ME. YOU'RE NOT BIGGER THAN THIS, NOT BETTER. WHY CAN'T YOU LEARN.
YOUR NEW AESTHETICWE'RE LOWERING THE STANDARD IN A PROCESS SELECTIVE. THE FORMULA IS TOO THIN. BUT IT TAKES MORE THAN ONE PERSON. SO EVERYONE JUMP ON. I'LL MISS YOU WHEN YOU'RE JUST LIKE THEM. I REMEMBER BACK THEN THINKING: EASY COMES BUT DOESN'T STAY, WHAT COMES EASY NEVER STAYS. BUT THE POLOTICS NEED MEANS. AND BUSINESS NEVER LEAVES. YOU BETTER SING NOW WHILE YOU CAN. IMITATE AND WATER DOWN. UNTIL WE CRASH I'LL WRITE IT OUT: SELECTION BREATHS ON ITS OWN. MAKE THEM OPEN THE REQUEST LINE AND LET SELECTION KILL THE OLD. TURN OFF THE RADIO.
BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU WANTDON'T BOTHER GOING THROUGH YOUR MOTIONS. NOTHING THAT MAKES SENSE EVER WORKS OUT. DON'T KID YOURSELF, YOU KNOW THEY WANT MONEY. NOTHING CAN BE GOOD ON ITS OWN MERIT. PUT YOUR TRUST IN SIMPLE ACTS. MAKE THE FLYERS GET THEM UP ALL OVER TOWN. DON'T KID YOURSELF, YOU KNOW THEY WANT MONEY. PLEASE KEEP IN SIGHT WHAT MAKES YOU CARE. YOU HAVE IT ALWAYS. SPINNING AND SPINNING. DANCING IN PLASTIC, SHAKE-UP SNOW. DO YOU BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU WANT? YOUR CAMERA FLASH. ON US, MEANINGLESS. YOU CANNOT WASTE A SINGLE NIGHT. WHAT YOU IGNORE IS PRICELESS TO ME.


A SUNDAYON A SUNDAY I'LL THINK IT THROUGH. ON THE DRIVE BACK I'LL THINK IT THROUGH. WHAT YOU WISH FOR WON'T COME TRUE. LIVE WITH THAT. ON A SNDAY SHE THOUGHT IT THROUGH. NOW AS I DRIVE BACK, THERE'S THIRTY-SIX LESS HOURS I HAVE TO CHANGE THE COURSE I SEND MYSELF. LIVE WITH THAT. ON A SUNDAY GO ONCE AROUND. BECAUSE WHEN THE RIDE'S DONE, THE HOPES THAT YOU HAVE CARRIED, THEY FALL OUT FROM YOUR HANDS BACK TO THE GROUND. LIVE WITH THAT. LEARN AS THE DRUGS LEAVE. LEARN AS YOU LOOSE IT. YOU WILL. THE HAZE CLEARS FROM YOUR EYES ON A SUNDAY.
CRUSHFAINTEST SNOW KEEP FALLING. HANDS AROUND YOUR WAIST. NAMELESS, STANDING COLD. TAKE IN RESTRAINT LIKE A BREATH. MY LUNGS ARE SO NUMB FROM HOLDING BACK. WALK CLOSE TO THE FENCE. FEEL IT HIT YOUR CLOTHES. TURN AND SMILE NICE. SMILE SAY GOODNIGHT. SAY GOODNIGHT IN A BREATH. SIMPLE DISCOURSE BREAKS YOU CLEAN IN HALF. REGRET. DO TRY IT ONCE AND THEN YOU KNOW. YOUR MOVE. SETTLE FOR LESS AGAIN.
12.23.95DIDN'T MEAN TO LEAVE YOU HANGING ON, ALL ALONE. MERRY CHRISTMAS BABY.
TENWE LEFT BEHIND THE BUSY CROWD. SO IT SEEMS WE SLOW DOWN. MEET ME WITH A WAY OUT THROUGH THE LIES. NOWHERE, GOING NOWHERE IN THE FAKE YELLOW LIGHT. THE FEELINGS CHANGE SO FAST. SAFETY SCARES THEM AWAY. I CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO SAY IT'S MY OWN ADVICE I NEED. NOWHERE AND THEN NOWHERE. LIVING TRAPPED INSIDE THE CHASE. OUR WEAKNESS IS THE SAME. WE NEED POISON SOMETIMES. SO TAKE ANOTHER DRINK WITH ME. BLAME NO ONE. LOOK IN MY EYES AND BLAME NO ONE.
JUST WATCH THE FIREWORKSHERE YOU CAN BE ANYTHING. I THINK THAT SCARES YOU. I'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE BUT ONLY BY MYSELF. WHAT GIVING UP GIVES YOU AND WHERE GIVING UP TAKES YOU. I'VE HAD AND I'VE BEEN. HERE IN CENTER FRAME THERE'S ONLY AIR. JUST ENOUGH SPACE TO FIT. I SAID IT OUT LOUD OVER AND OVER BUT WHAT DO I KNOW. I SAID IT OUT LOUD BUT IT DID NOT HELP. I'LL STOP NOW. JUST SO I CAN HEAR YOU I STAY UP AS LATE AS IT TAKES, AS LONG AS IT TAKES. I PROMISED I'D SEE IT AGAIN. I PROMISED I'D SEE THIS WITH YOU NOW.
FOR ME THIS IS HEAVENTHE FIRST STAR I SEE MAY NOT BE A STAR. WE CAN'T DO A THING BUT WAIT. SO LET'S WAIT FOR ONE MORE. THE TIME SUCH CLUMSY TIME IN DECIDING IF IT'S TIME. I'M CAREFUL BUT NOT SURE HOW IT GOES. YOU CAN LOSE YOURSELF IN YOUR COURAGE. THE MINDLESS COMFORT GROWS WHEN I'M ALONE WITH MY "GREAT" PLANS. THIS IS WHAT SHE SAYS GETS HER THROUGH IT: "IF I DON'T LET MYSELF BE HAPPY NOW THEN WHEN?" IF NOT NOW WHEN? WHEN THE TIME WE HAVE NOW ENDS. WHEN THE BIG HAND GOES AROUND AGAIN. CAN YOU STILL FEEL THE BUTTERFLIES? CAN YOU STILL HEAR THE LAST GOODNIGHT? CLOSE MY EYES AND BELIEVE WHEREEVER YOU ARE, AN ANGEL FOR ME.
BLISTERTAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE TIMES, YOU SAID. YOU LET ME DOWN. IT HASEN'T BEEN THE FIRST TIME. AS I'M FALLING IN THE PIT OF FIRE MY MIND'S MADE UP. I'M NEVER COMING BACK HERE. HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE ME TO WALK ACROSS THE UNITED STATES ALL ALONE. THE WEST COAST HAS BEEN TRAUMATIZED. I THINK I'M THE ONLY ONE STILL ALIVE. IS IT JUST A COINCIDENCE TO SEE YOU BY YOURSELF WITH NO DIRECTION. NOW IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON. DON'T YOU KNOW THAT THINGS ARN'T GETTING BETTER. DON'T TRY AND STOP ME. BECAUSE I'M FALLING FAST INTO THIS PIT OF FIRE WHICH SURROUNDS US ALL. IN A BLANKET OF FEAR THAT I'VE BEEN WRAPPED IN FOR YEARS. YOU CAN'T STOP ME. WHEN THE WORLD CAVES IN WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO FOR ME.
CLARITYI'LL TAKE YOUR WORDS AS IF YOU WERE TALKING TO ME. SAY WHAT I KNOW YOU'LL SAY AND SAY IT THROUGH YOUR TEETH. WITH PRIDE KEEP EVERY FAILURE IN. AND WITH PRIDE HOLD ON TO THE SINKING. NOW IN THE DEEP AND DOWN YOUR HEART MOVES. NOW IN THE DEEP AND DOWN, I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT I KNOW I WANT OUT. WAIT FOR SOMETHING BETTER. WILL I KNOW WHEN IT CANBE US? MAYBE THAT DOESN'T MEAN US. WAIT FOR SOMETHING BETTER? I SHOULDN'T, IT'S NOT ENOUGH. PULL ONE EXCUSE FROM ANOTHER. JUST ONE EXCUSE FROM ANOTHER. THIS TIME IT MEANS US. STOP.
GOODBYE SKY HARBOR"IS TOMORROW JUST A DAY LIKE ALL THE REST". HOW COULD YOU KNOW JUST WHAT YOU DID? SO FULL OF FAITH YET FULL OF DOUBT I ASK. TIME AND TIME AGAIN YOU SAID DON'T BE AFRAID. "IF YOU BELIEVE THEN YOU CAN DO IT". THE ONLY VOICE I WANT TO HEAR IS YOURS. AGAIN. I SHALL ASK YOU THIS ONCE AGAIN. AND AGAIN. HE SAID: "I AM BUT ONE SMALL INSTRUMENT". DO YOU REMEMBER THAT? SO HERE I AM ABOVE PALM TREES SO STRAIGHT AND TALL. YOU ARE SMALLER, GETTING SMALLER. BUT I STILL SEE YOU.
