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

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 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

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” (Edward Snowden, 2015)

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...

about

SkinnyboneZ

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).
