Rainbow Junction:
Meet me down by rainbow junction
Let the trip begin
I have no more homing instinct than the north wind
Bring along some brand new tidings
Leave what's hiding behind
There's no better tranquilizer
Than a free mind
We've become the heirss apparently
Inherent to the sun
Let's forget that vacant spotlight
Distant storm lights in this storm
Meanwhile back at rainbow junction
Celebrate the road
You'll become a new disciple of your own soul
We've become the heirss apparently
Inherent to the sun
Let's forget that vacant spotlight
Distant starlights in the swamp
Meanwhile back at rainbow junction
Celebrate the road
You'll become the new disciple of your own soul
Yes you have

In Anticipation:
In anticipation of another brand new day
I sit all alone and I play to the drone of the ice box
In a way, it's all I have to say
Many thoughts go through my head
But nothing seems to spark
Never quite through I coninute to view
The pieces in the dark, and do you believe
I see a glimpse of something beautiful
And whether it stays or goes, I'm sure
Only tomorrow knows, and whether it
Rises higher or catches fire and I desire it so
Getting back to where I am and what I have to do
I'm often a wrong man but always a song man
And if you want me to, I will sing one just for you
And often a wrong man but always a song man
And if you want me to, I will sing one just for you

Fairytale For Two:
Three…
Captured by the world she wanted
Fractured by the world she knew
Looking to the sky for something brighter
Day and night her heart would…
Flutter at the sight of children
Shutter at the sight of pain
I was always unaware that after
Laughter came there would remain
Just a fairytale for two
Wrapped in cellophane and glue
With the words enclosed for you
So filling in the cracks with tear dust
Following the signs that say
You can be the king of all the clowns
If you write down your tears this way
In a fairytale for two
Wrapped in cellophane and glue
With the words enclosed for you

Mr. Booth:
Mr. Booth, it’s the truth
You are not well
You’ve been seen harboring some southern belle
And that’s uncool Mr. Booth
But who, who could tell
The lass that you’ll be drowning in some fiery hell
All of your life you’ve been out on the stage
But now you’re the rage that you hold
And so your face found some space
Disgracing your time
But other fools will surely take your place in mind*
And so your face found some space
Disgracing your time
But other fools will surely take your place in mind
*He might actually be saying time instead of mind

Untitled (Possibly titled November):
One lover buys you a warm woolen coat
Nose drops for your sneezing
And one lover puts a knife to your throat
And asks it, if you're freezing
Well November is the hungriest month
Except for the three that will follow
And some people offer you food for a price
That is just too hard to swallow
A weatherman tells you the forecast is grim
Your mother tells you she loves you
Your savior puts himself out on a limb
And pretends that he doesn't love you
But November is the hungriest month
Except for the three that will follow
And some people offer you food for a price
That is just too hard to swallow
*Clarinet Solo*
A woefully weary October fly
Crashed to the floor of a bedroom
Crushing the creature with a hard leather sole
And then brushing it out with a new broom
Well November is the hungriest month
Except for the three that will follow
And some people offer you food for a price
That is just too hard to swallow
Well November is the hungriest month
Except for the three that will follow
And some people offer you food for a price
That is just too hard to swallow

Don’t Belong:
I won't deny it
I used to try it
Til' it went to my head
Now I just sit here singing these slow blues instead
Well some people want it
Some people fawn it
Some people taunt those that do
But I won't worry as long as I know that it's true
Don't belong you
Don't belong to me
Don't belong to the man on the barge
Who's revisions that keep revolving endlessly
And if my theory
Seems a bit dreary deary
Just put it down as a test
But I won't feel bad then, til I'm in with the rest

Untitled:
An afternoon another time, simpler disguises
Teachers requests, and children surmises
The world lay on another shore awaiting my pleasure
I stumble out blind in search of the treasure
The first thing on the path I found a seeming perfection
A girl in whose eyes I saw my reflection
But later down the road she found another direction
Left me in sections of stone
And when the dust had finally cleared, along with some seasons
A few tattered rhymes in this bag full of reasons
I moved a little farther on in spite of the dangers
The high cost of love and the low lives of strangers
I walk a little slower now in search of the lessons
A wise man can learn from dreamer's confessions
