hi, i'm dalton moon!
ahhh
there's a burger in the front of johnny's fry shack
there's a woman in my heart who will never come on back
we will hop in my car, we will drive really far
till we cant see the road, cuz the sky, its too dark
so lets hit up the squad, we'll see who wants to hang
but ill end up alone and ill cut off my own bangs
till i finally can see, what you really mean to me
and i'm done with all your bullshit ill just let you all be
so just go go go
run away and leave me alone
go go go, i cant stand to see you no more
well you left me to go hang out with your friends
now im stuck here sad with all these thoughts in my head
and i thot that you loved me but you do not love anyone
you just came to see me die
and i know that it sounds nuts but my life, its at stake
real men like me will know what is real and who is fake
so just walk out of here with your louis vuitton bag
oh just walk outta here dont you ever come on back
so just go go go
run away and leave me alone
go go go, i cant stand to see you no more
its funny how things can change with tender love and care
but you wouldnt know cuz you havent been there
so just go go go
run away and leave me alone
go go go, i cant stand to see you no more

Evening Rain
05:40
|

|
in your own little world, you can dream
but in reality you follow all the rest
in your own little dream, you exist
but your forced to kill the flame, i shouldve guessed
well, when your sitting on your sofa
on a sunday afternoon
in the middle of july
cuz you got nothing else to do, you can cry
when your living all alone, you can see
everything falls apart too fast
when your living on your own, you can breathe
though, the world your standing on tears up at last
well, when your staring out your window
to see what the day will bring
you will slowly slip away
into the water with a sting, and you'll cry
and so, stand away
cover your head, from the evening rain
and so, walk away
there aint no need to numb the pain
in a girl named jean-louise, you may find
someone else has wasted all your time
and if you plan like a mastermind, you will lie
but youve got to realize, its not your mind
well, when your covering your footsteps
after walking to my room
and you see my face in tulip colors,
wasting bodies too.
you will cry
and so,stand away
cover your head, from the evening rain
and so, walk away
there aint no need to numb the pain

mornin'
02:34
|

|
stand from the piano, musician of the day
hand me my drink and ill sit down and play
my fingers are numb
i cant feel my face
maybe im drunk
my drink could be laced
i fall on the floor
blood spills from my nose
the musicians collapsed
im the last one who goes
but ill be alright, ill be alright
i might just wake up in the morning
paint my door red, but i kicked over the can
i would ask for help but who'd lend a hand
pick it all up
buy some new paint
they think im insane
but i think i aint
but who knows for sure
i guess the MD
if they had the degree
to learn about me
to make me alright, to make me alright
to make me wake up in the morning
we study and learn about far away hills
when a child with a gun gets ready to kill
he looks down his scope
his safety is off
his gun is all filled
he cannot be stopped
we hide in the back
behind the book stacks
he pumps his shotgun
and we stand to run
we might be alright, we might be alright
we might just wake up in the morning
bang on the drum in the back of the club
cigs on my tom and sticks by my thumb
there go the light
the music turn off
the bullets go on
they flash in the dark
it hits my friend
it hits him again
that friend is dead
cuz he didnt like them
he wont be alright, he wont be alright
he wont be waking in the morning
there aint no judgement to pass through my mind
there are no secrets to conceal or to hide
you cannot feel
you cannot see
you are blinded
your blinded by me
you cant understand
the pain i go thru
you just pretend to
so no one judges you
but youll be alright, youll be alright
you might just wake up in the morning

Forgets Too Soon

its 7 in the morning and im falling in my pillow once again
i jolt up and i see that it is 2:12 in the afternoon my friend
the coffee in my mug is cold
the snow has winters future told
the shadows on my wall explain
that i must look at you again
and my mind forgets too soon
my mind forgets too soon....
i whisper to my eggs and toast, and memory fades as sunlight creeps on in
i see the dew on window panes as heat picks up on last nights rain, its here
and i know that you are gone my friend
but i must look at you again
well, i fear my ship is going down
and i fear my earth has stopped spinning round
and my mind forgets too soon
my mind forgets too soon
i feel the colors in my eyes will spill everytime i make a move on you
i feel the winds increasing speed, blowing on my ears when i feel blue
and i know that time is running out
and i feel my lungs blow when i shout
and i know the blue creates the sky
and i know the sound of a battle cry
and my mind forgets too soon
my mind forgets too soon
the daylight has been gone for hours, the shadows from the night before have come
and i turn over wearily, for theres no one lying next to me, i weep.
and i know today has started good
but now it will end as it should
with me in tears and brittle bones
today was good, but now its gone
and my mind forgets too soon
my mind forgets too soon

lonely river

lay me down, lonely river
soak my aching bones, and i
press my skin on your cold stones
lord i hear that wind and it cries
light me up, you yellow star
i grow tired of watching the sky
i grow weary of your blinding shame
i wonder how you get so high
tear me out, stubborn sorrow
take my strength, spread it in the air
burn my heart into ashes
sorrow i know, i must leave you there
lay me down, lonely river
wash my pain away
carry my dead body down
lonely river i know, i cannot stay
lay me down, lonely river
soak my aching bones, and i
press my skin on your cold stones
lord i hear that wind and it cries

its such a strange feeling to have power, aint it?
such a strange game to be cheated, so play it.
hes awoken when his kettle goes off
his woman rushes in from the park
she could not stand the songs of the lark
or the sounds in the dark
come on jules, get your keys out for the drive of our life
we got dinner with the butcher, the mayor, and the fireman's wife
turn the air on so we can breathe
the man put his gun on the rack
then, he packs in the back
cakes in a stack
oh the empty songs play loud, and the deaf man, cries at every note
the poet screams in shame, after reading every word that he had wrote
my mother writhes in pain after the show
the priest says its divine what does he know
besides, god plays us all
while were out there dying in the hall
oh the memoirs in the paper, they cut and they squeal thru my brain
and every word she yells out, pours into me just like rain
the birds and their tune are now cut short
the joker is now banished from my court
the king throws his crown upside down
his army goes to town
come on jules get your baby, the stiff men have come to take care of him
the blind man slipped and fell, cuz the lights they were all too dim for him
but what would he see without patience
he would not see the shape im in
go to him tomorrow, write his will
leave it on his sill
well my friend comes to talk to us, she splashes all the beer thats in her can
she rises way to gentle, she can now finally stand
she kicks the dog that waits by the stairs
she complains but no body cares
she grabs me by my hair
and asks about the wear and tares
oh the ghost and his julie, they walk and they climb to get to happiness
they never have to worry about thier bank safes ever being pennyless
they grow their hair way too long
they forget what is right, what is wrong
they sing to a different song
one thats way too long
oh, my julie

blue turns to black

blue turns to black
roses, they burn up my back
firey rains from the sun, they crack up my bed
as silly thoughts about you run thru my head
i wish i was dead
when i turn on my light
i cant see your face thru my window
but i know you watch me go on thru my day
i know you watch me go on my way
you know ill pay
what do you think?
about the early morning, got nothing to drink
i got no cells, oh i know my brain will shrink
all i hear is dripping from my sink
what do you think?
blue turns to black
roses, they burn up my back
firey rains from the sun, they crack up my bed
as silly thoughts about you run thru my head
i wish i was dead
nighttime's for me
i love the howling wind blowing thru my coat
i love that scratchy ache burning in my throat
i never wonder what the day will be
nighttimes for me
its scary to see
all the ones you love slowly falling asleep
all the sounds of war start turning to peace
all the rays of red lighting up the trees
its scary to see
blue turns to black
roses, they burn up my back
firey rains from the sun, they crack up my bed
as silly thoughts about you run thru my head
i wish i was dead

Haunted

watch all these people with ash on their face
and they say "my god, i gotta get outta this place"
i say "hold up there young pony, were alright together"
she weeps and puts her face in my jacket of leather, oh no
she did a quick U-Turn and she lost who followed
she got outta the car and walked on hollow ground
but she greets it with a smile
"dont worry about me, i will fine just let me be, oh babe"
i just sat there in the cafe with my horror genre book
and when the ghosts came out, i ran to the back
put my hands in the sink and splashed water on my face
i walked back into the cafe and i picked up my case, oh no
and i ran out of that dark room
couldnt stay where the dark souls would play
its cold out here, but at least its pure
i wonder if you will hear about my pain, oh babe
a changed dynamic, its something new
should stay at home, walk around my room
see whats on the TV
wipe a cloth around my face
spill my drugs, have a little taste
maybe i should OD
the frost is a blanket that covers up the hill
and the fog is like ghosts as they create the chill
and sparks up my spine and it shoots out my tounge
i may be hungry, but im hungry and young, oh no
and i know that your old and you think your immune
that your different from us cuz you dont use youtube
but your really just the same, just with grey hair and hearts
and you slip away gently before the battle here starts, oh babe
like a dog who knows hes been a bad boy for days
how can i give you my love if i dont love anyways?
how can i give you my pain if you dont have emotions?
your a traveler of faith with your wacky conning potions, oh no
yes i know your kind, so dont try to hide
you need sunglasses to cover your eyes
all you need is to rid, in the hatred in you
or you and your man will face imminent doom, oh babe
a changed dynamic, its something new
should stay at home, walk around my room
see whats on the TV
wipe a cloth around my face
spill my drugs, have a little taste
maybe i should OD

sweet resistance

|
theres a ghost car on the highway
i dont know where its going
yet still, i wonder where its been
wonderful existence, take over my body and my soul
i just need some of that sweet resistance to get me thru the day
theres a railroad over yonder
i see the coffee carts go by and i gotta get on that train
wonderful existence, take over my body and my soul
i just need some of that sweet resistance to get me thru the day
and on this day, the rooster claimed it was morning but i knew it would not wake you
and on this day, our time got caught in the cross fire but i did not let it die
wonderful existence, take over my body and my soul
i just need some of that sweet resistance to get me thru the day
