You Should Have Been A Rock Star (new song)

 verse 1

(Izzy)
trapped in a whirlwind
no escaping it
you shaved your beard today
no faking it

five years, gone unnoticed
the flick of a cigarette
who's boasting it?
who's boasting it?

(B.)
a house in the country
a girl by the stove
but dinners are better
when you're frying the cloves

chorus
(Izzy)
you should have been a rock star
God knows your smile is a sin
and like a springing trapeze artist
your magnetic charm comes from within

(B. and Izzy)
you shoulda
shoulda
shoulda

been a rock star

verse 2
(Izzy)
your piano hands touch me the right way
and nights on the couch bring back memories
your awkwardness has me reeling in symphanies
and when your hands tremble I know it's just for me

and i tell ya...

(B. and Izzy)
you shoulda
shoulda
shoulda

been a rock star

chorus
(Izzy)
God knows your smile is a sin
and like a springing trapeze artist
your magnetic charm comes from within

bridge
(Izzy)
but how many women have you played?
i won't be your fiddle this coming May
i'm damn near excited
and it's okay
i'm going to marry you
one fine day

but i tell ya, tell ya, tell ya

(B. and Izzy)
you really shoulda shoulda shoula..

chorus
(Izzy)
you should have been a rock star
God knows your smile is a sin
and like a springing trapeze artist
your magnetic charm comes from within

Santa Clause Song (full)

what exactly can he provide you? 
Can he make you feel more beautiful 
than you already are? 
If you hate them...
will he hate them too?

is it more than loyalty?
more than fate stepping in 
more than consistency 
more than a constant need

and what if 
what if
what if
what if

and what if
what if
what if
what if

he died for you?
put that gun in his mouth
and just died for you?

yes,
heroin is bad
yes heroin is deadly
yes heroin will kill
YOU

when drugs are a coping mechanism
you.... flourish?
flourish
flourish
flourish

flourish into a flower
prick yourself with the thorn
she was in my very side

 and what if
what if 
what if
what if

and what if 
what if
what if
what if

pendulum by my side
shaking from side to side
say yes
say yes
say yes

no more hair color
no more eyes
just a walking zombie
by my side

true love
real love
great love

true love
real love
great love

can ya feel it?
can ya feel it?
can ya feel it?

he can feel it...
he can feel it...
he can feel it...

just another crack in the universe
my tears split open the wound
his spirit
singing
dancing
enchanting
around me he lingers
forever more
forever more
forever more

gimme back my vodka!
where's my vodka?
it all started with vodka!

low flying planes
subway trains
nothing to gain
but a bulging vain

stick your needle in me!
don't you dare!
you're the heroin junkie!
in despair! 

okay. so i lied.
he had blonde hair.
and bright blue eyes.
and when our worlds collide
we both ---

DIE.

(new song) Future Ex-Husband

Future Husband

(verse 1)

you are familiar as the ring on my finger
that you put there only yesterday
i watch you
when you don't know i'm watching you
and you bring out the electricity in the air
and your hands too soft to bear
and when you love me late at night
you hold me in your arms, so very tight

(chorus)

my future husband is
knockin' at the door (x3)
my future husband is
comin' back for more (x3)
my future husband
is playin' his guitar (x3)
my future husband
is crashin' all his cars (x3)

(verse 2)

he wears t-shirts and sneakers \
like they're goin' out of style
shaggy dark-haired man
playin' rhythms with a smile
and when the tears come pouring down
he knooooows he is home
no more lonliness, comtemplations
or spiking drinks to please a circle of friends he no longer knows

(chorus)


my future husband is
knockin' at the door (x3)
my future husband is
comin' back for more (x3)
my future husband
is playin' his guitar (x3)
my future husband
is crashin' all his cars (x3)

(bridge)

and the aliens come to take me away...
and the night sky turns a different shade of gray...
and the anti-christ is here
and so is god
and i wave good-by to my future ex-husband with a sob
he gives me a wink and says it'll be ok...
and i will see you again one fine rainy day

(chorus)


my future husband is
knockin' at the door (x3)
my future husband is
comin' back for more (x3)
my future husband
is playin' his guitar (x3)
my future husband
is crashin' all his cars (x3)

effortlessly (new song)

effortlessly (new song)

the church bells give me
no comfort to the
mp3 player ringing in my
disillusioned ears
light a cigarette backwards
turn it around again
smoke heavy
breath in smog filled air
L.A sanctuary
a joint grazing my
callus lips
breath in again
freeing sounds
drifting through my
disillusioned ears
our songs play
cigarette burning
you wait patiently
as I write
come back to me
effortlessly
put cigarette out
on shirt sleeves made of
flannel
did you wash them today?
effortless
songs blaring
headphones of quality
like your second song
you write
effortlessly
tug of earphone wires
as espresso grazes my
willful lips
blasting a song of L.A likliness
punk and ska
woeful entrances
blasting
effortlessly

from poem to a song...

reborn a star (new song)

i wanna be reincarnated into a star

a bright shining star in the sky

but only if

you are there shining next to me

i only look at the night sky

to talk to you

i was once asked if i look at the stars

i stated

only if you were there

when i see a shooting star
i think of how far i'd have to fall
to no longer be alive
to no longer shine like you
the wish that i make
on that star and that moment in time
is for that star to stop in its tracks
and stop falling.  stop shooting.
keep shining

i imagine you there now

and now i look at the stars

if you were reincarnated into a star

you would shine brighter than the rest

and you would shine so bright

all the other stars would lose their light

the contentment you would feel

in that night sky

shining so bright

brighter than you ever shined in life

put me next to you 

in that night sky

two twin shining stars

shining just as bright

together

we'd find our light

and we'd no longer feel pain

and we'd no longer be lost

from each other

when i see a shooting star
i think of how far i'd have to fall
to no longer be alive
to no longer shine like you
the wish that i make
on that star and that moment in time
is for that star to stop in its tracks
and stop falling.  stop shooting.
keep shining

i wanna be a star

just a bright star

drifting in the galaxy

reincarnated next to you

only you

drifting endlessly

for eternity.

From Seattle to Eternity (new song)

from seattle to eternity
the sicamore trees leave a scar
you ask, how far will i go?
heart beating wildly
i tell you, way down low
six feet under and i still. still, still
feel your soul

eternity bleeds red
with good intentions
an angel dried her wings
on your damp forehead
for you, always you
from seattle to eternity

the color of your hair
changes daily
the color of your eyes
true blue
and the sicamore leaves
scatter atop the hollow
ground
where your body once lay
your spirit strains to become
one with the air
you scream out, in constant
despair...

from seattle to eternity
two hearts beat as one
from seattle to eternity
two souls, under the sun
from seattle to eternity
i come undone

you are the one i think of
at night
you are the one, i see
when i lose my sight
you are the one
you are the one...

from seattle....to .... eternity
