Lyrics
My Kingdom
words by Andrew Bond
I know what happens with best laid plans
They often go awry
Mice and men and common kin
are going to wonder why
we took "history repeats itself"
for granted all the time
Now we're reaping what we sow
if we fast forward or rewind
And I can't bare to share the news
with my family and friends
because I fear that we will hear
a sad song until the end
And part of me desperately
wants this all to turn
I wish that such simplicities
were not such big concerns
I can't scream and kick for long
I'll create a brand new song
One I'll sing with conviction
Until I start my own kingdom
Snowball effects are taking place
in such a drastic heat
Extending common courtesy
is such a drastic feat
And there have been a few
that we can learn from in a way
but our social education
has been cut short today
By arrogance and ignorance
which do go hand in hand
The more we writhe and kick
the more we're stuck in the quicksand
So, where's the hand to pull us
from this pit of desperation
when it seems that civility
has taken a vacation
Death and Taxes
words by Nick Malara and Andrew Bond
I live, I die, I walk the line
How do I decide what's worth my time?
Doing tightrope dances all day
All the taxes I have to pay
Take a risk and forget about standards
Expire and pay the toll
Stability looks after you
This concrete border holding true
Doing tightrope dances all day
All the taxes I have to pay
Give up the ghost, your tax is due
Expire and pay the toll
Who Knows this Time?
words by Andrew Bond
Fleeting glimpses fill our eyes
It's all we have in this life time
A few sparatic passage ways
to wander hoping through the days
Who knows this time?
Uncertainty steals my air
It's brutal and it does not care
I'll choke on truth and choke on lies
I'll pass on, time never dies
What's this? It might be over
I've drenched too many shoulders
Too many to stay sober
In this time
Living Beyond the Love
words by Andrew Bond
It's fascinating to feel these things
I've cried at the thought of them leaving
Such gifts are given at rare events
but the gratitude is permanent
And I'll try to find it again
and I'm sure that I'll come up short in the end
and I wish this were the last of my tries
but I'll just have to dry these weary eyes
and live
or I'll just exist
And I'll form
a life for myself
Just incase my time and efforts don't result in inner wealth
When it's late and I'm alone
I wonder what the future holds
I want security
I want to know that when I'm old
I'll have something to grab onto
when I don't feel like myself
I want an open heart to listen
when I'm crying out for help
I will save myself
Last Dance with Mary Jane
words by our buddy Tom Petty
She grew up in a Indiana town
Had a good lookin' mama who never was around
But she grew up tall and she grew up right
With them Indiana boys on an Indiana night
Then she moved down here at the age of eighteen
She blew the boys away ; was more than they'd seen
I was introduced and we both started groovin'
She said, "I dig you, baby, but I got to keep movin'"
...on, keep movin' on
Last dance with Mary Jane
One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm
Tired of this town again
Well I don't know but I've been told,
You never slow down, you never grow old
I'm tired of screwin' up, tired of goin' down,
Tired of myself, tired of this town,
Oh my, my, oh hell yes,
Honey put on that party dress
Buy me a drink, sing me a song,
Take me as I come 'cause I can't stay long
There's pidgeons down in Market Square,
She's standing in her underwear
Lookin' down from a hotel room,
Nightfall will be coming soon
Oh my, my, oh hell yes,
You've got to put on that party dress
It was too cold to cry, when I woke up alone
I hit the last number, I walked to the road
You're the Hitman
words by Andrew Bond
It seems you've been hired to kill me
and you're sure taking your time
just squeeze and end my misery
If you don't do it, I will
but it's no concern to you
You can't see through your anxiety
Don't fret, you're job is done soon
For I'm losing sight again
Just leave the shell and run away
You'll forget our paths ever crossed
I'll be dead but still hoping
that maybe I'll see you one day
