Sleep all day
Sleep all night
Will you wake
To a new dawn
You can fill
A brand new page
With any story you choose
Just as you thought
You would go on and on
You turn the last page
Crouch down low
Before you jump
And then you just lift up your wings
You tell your story
Write down the words
Sign your name in the water
No need to worry
Do not get upset
These are just things you shed
Just as you thought
You would go on and on
You turn the last page
Crouch down low
Before you jump
And then when you lift up your wings
You tell the story
You tell the story
You tell the story
You tell the story

Hungry Ghost

You better take good care
If you’re going out tonight
You might not notice me
Nothing’s going to save you
The wind that rustles your hair
The shiver moves right up your spine
A fleeting glimpse you just can’t catch
I’ve got my hungry eye on you
Cause I haunt these streets
I come here looking for a remedy
For the vacant space inside of me
And I’m hungry
I can’t remember
How I came to be here
Just want someone to notice me
Feels like I’m invisible
Perhaps you really don’t know
Maybe you just don’t care
I dwell in the shadows and shade
I’ve got my hungry eye on you
I come here with an attitude
I come here with an appetite
Now it’s my turn to turn on you
Now it’s my turn to feed on you
No, I’m not going quietly
Cause I’m hungry
Now all the light has gone
Try to find your way back home
You hear me call you from behind
Got my hungry eye on you
These city streets were built on my bones
This cityscape was weaned on my blood
So I haunt these streets
I come here looking for a remedy
I come here with an attitude
I come here with an appetite
Now it’s my turn to feed on you
I’m still hungry
And I’m hungry
And I’m hungry
And I’m hungry
And I’m hungry…

Late Night Motel

Late night motel
Where the paint is fading
Another traveler
Wanders through the door
Let the TV blare
Turn the lights down low
Something’s out there to collect
A debt long overdue
And the promise you made to yourself
All the chances you left unexplored
Now everything’s down in the dust
They come knocking
As the traffic dies down
Memories never rest
Another hungry soul
Looking for redemption
And the promise you made to yourself
All the chances you left unexplored
Now everything’s down in the dust
They come knocking
My ghost and me were talking
About the roads we chose
And he won’t let go
He won’t let go
Late night motel
Everyone’s long gone home
The man on the TV says
We might have snow tomorrow

Stay (Off the Grid)
04:05

We deal under the table tonight
Always a card up my sleeve
We fly in low
We kiss the skyline
We hug the trees
Stay off the grid
Stay off the grid
Our signals breaking up
We fly like ghosts
Immune to radar
Stay off the grid
They’ll try to catch us dead to rights
Prying eyes and satellites
The hum of drones is how they roll
Time to take back control
Stay off the grid
Stay
Stay
Stay
Stay off the grid
Stay off the grid
They’ll try to catch us dead to rights
Prying eyes and satellites
The hum of drones is how they roll
Time to take back control
They’ll try to catch us dead to rights
Prying eyes and satellites
The hum of drones is how they roll
Time to take back control
Stay off the grid
Stay off the grid
Stay
Stay
Stay
Stay off the grid
Stay
Stay off the grid
Stay
Stay
Stay off the grid
Stay off the grid
“It’s about liberty versus surveillance
Social influence right? Who is connected to whom?
These programs are about power”

Oikophobia (LYLLYL)

You’ve been wandering
Traveling north and south
Pack your things your leaving town
They tried to stop you on your way
First you’ll beg and then you’ll pray
Blind your eyes to make you stay
At high tide we set sail
Say your goodbyes
Renounce your past
It’s time to burn
Burn your
Burn your love
Burn your love
You’ve got a lot to learn
About the roses and the burns
And taking the wrong turns
Set your course to shifting stars
Changing now would only mar
Tied to the mast while sirens sing
Cast into the breeze
Finally land on distant shores
You’ve got to burn
Burn the ships
Burn the ships
Burn the ships
You’re never going home
You can go anywhere
You can go anywhere
You can go anywhere
You can go anywhere
Love your lover leave your lover
Love your lover leave your lover
Love your lover leave your lover
Love your lover leave your lover
Love your lover leave your lover
Love your lover leave your lover
Love your lover leave your lover
Love your lover leave your lover

Slowly wake from your sleep
Come back to me my love
Gently open your eyes
Look at me my love
Everyone’s at sea
And I don’t want to drift no more
Where have you been?
Think of me again
Find your way back from the deep
And I’ll sing for you
Everyone’s at sea
And I don’t want to drift
From your arms or your heart
From all the things that we started
From all that is coming into being
All fresh and new
I wake up to the morning
Where you run to me my love
And when that morning comes
Walk past the faded mirrors in the hall
Past all the helpless tears that were shed
We’ll walk past all the money in the world
Can you feel it now?
All that is coming into being
Everyone’s at sea
And I don’t want to drift
From your arms or your heart
From all the things that we started
I wake up to the morning...

SkinnyboneZ sounds like Big Star’s Chris Bell crashing his car into the Yes tour bus; witnessed by the Sound’s Adrian Borland as a gas station attendant on a lonely December night in the late seventies (or at least he hopes he sounds like that).
