CHASING THREAD

I've been chasing thread,
I've been left for dead.
I've been doing time,
I do not know what's cruel or kind.

Another sun gone down,
my hands are out, my hands are bound.
I'm not supposed to make a sound,
the world spins around around around...

I've been chasing thread,
I just cant seem to get ahead,
How about you?

I know the world is mine,
I just cant seem to cross that line,
How about you?

The light can be the shadow too,
In x-rays that are overdue,
But I no longer worship you,
I'll do what I must do...

I've been chasing thread -
The warp the weft the weaver in my own head
I've been weaving threads -
So much better than the Emperor's tailor said...

The light can be the shadow too,
In X-rays that are overdue,
but... I no longer worship you,
Ill do what I must do.

I've been chasing thread..
You left me for dead...

I've been chasing thread,
I've been left for dead.
I've been doing time,
I do not know what's cruel or kind.

Another sun gone down,
My hands are out, my hands are bound.
I'm not supposed to make a sound,
The world spins around around around...

I've been chasing thread,
I just cant seem to get ahead,
How about you?

I know the world is mine,
I just cant seem to cross that line,
How about you?

The light can be the shadow too,
In x-rays that are overdue,
But I no longer worship you,
I'll do what I must do...

I've been chasing thread -
The warp the weft the weaver in my own head
I've been weaving threads -
So much better than the Emperor's tailor said...

The light can be the shadow too,
In X-rays that are overdue,
But... I no longer worship you,
Ill do what I must do.

I've been chasing thread..
You left me for dead...

1. CHASING THREAD

Somewhere someone is waking
Starting a new day,
Oh but here my heart is taking
An eclipse of some old way

Ohh, and city lights
Puncutate the night to come,
A self-generated eternal dawn, and
I try to smile while I know -
She has turned her shoulder
From the sun.
A gesture every night I hide by sleep
But not tonight...
Ohh 'cause tonight...tonight I'm
Dancing with my shadow

Oh lullaby of sunset..
Child afraid to dream
Won't you listen to my crying...
I'm so afraid of what I need.

And as the wheel of heaven
Shines on me
A million stars tell me
To laugh or bleed
And I try to smile while I know
They misdirect a misdirected flow
A gesture every night I hide by sleep
But not tonight,
Oh, 'cause tonight...tonight Im
Dancing with my shadow.

And your face... your face I miss your face.
And your face... your face, and I miss you...

2. DANCING WITH MY SHADOW

3. YOU (DOES ANYBODY KNOW?)

You... successful sole proprietor,
You... reading your tea leaves
You... you plant a garden every summer
You... you loook alot like me
You... with the spare time to be reading Carl Jung
You... can bench 185
You... with two beautiful happy children
You... standing there alive

Does anybody know-
Is life supposed to hurt this much?
Can anybody tell me
am I doing something wrong?
Does anybody know-
is my sanity at rish or something?
Can anybody tell me- am I weak or just too strong for...

You... with the obvious wall up just doing my job
You... Certified CPA
You... you go bowling every weekend
You... are you standing in myw
You... been on you own since age 16
You... just got your second Ph.D.
You...you seem to walk across this chaos
You... won't even look at me.

And some days I feel like a lucid dreamer,
but most days I feel like a misdemeanor...
and one of these days I may be one of these people
that I pass, and you..
you'll come up to me and ask - (you'll ask me...)

Today, I'm callin' in sick...
But that doesn't mean that I don't believe in it
Sunlight, so bright...
Do you you really wanna try to own the copyright?

Our love could be the best..
You don't need that knife in my chest
Our love could pass the test...
You don't need that boot on my neck

Remember nobody has to...Nobody has to... love you.

Broken.. do you want that?
Dying all alone in your cold hard facts?
My heart, ready to burst
You don't need to try and buy it first.

You'll win, all the pavement...
Your momma's gonna tell you its a life well spent
You'll win, all of the smiles,
Tell your momma that it's never gonna make it to trial.

Remember nobody has to...Nobody has to... love you.

You'll win all of the loss,
Do you really wanna know how much it cost?
You'll win all the contracts,
But they're phonin' it in, and no one calls you back.

At the end of the day its just a glass of red...
Mission accomplshed, they did what you said...

You'll win all the pavement,
Your momma's gonna tell you its a life well spent...
Youll win all of the smiles,
Yell your momma that it's never gonna make it to trial.

Oh but nobody has to...love you...

Nobody has to ...love you.

Today, don't you feel tired,

sleeping in late won't set your world on fire...
Today, maybe call in sick.

That might mean that you're saving it....

4. TODAY (NOBODY HAS TO LOVE YOU)

5. JAZZ JAM ANTHEM

Whatcha know whatcha know, not much
It's tough enough to send us back to school...
Whatcha know whatcha know

the shed no bread no bed no med; the golden rule.

Welcome to the circle-
Toot your own horn till you turn purple...
No one's listenin' till they finally hear the blues.
Well, I know its kinda rough,
because its never quite enough,
So buckle up... you'll only win after you lose...

Whatcha do whatcha do, the muscle memory
breaks through into the chords...
Whatcha do the Lions and the Birds
The Duke, the Chairman of the Board...

Welcome to the Square, we really hope to see you there-
In every time signature pocket that you can.
Bring your books and bring your charts
And most importantly your hearts, so
Come on up, yeah come on up lets hear your jam...

Welcome to the Square, we really hope to see you there
In every time signature pocket that you can...
Bring your books and bring your charts,
And most importantly your hearts, so
come on up, yeah, come on up lets hear your jam...

In loving memory Ritchie Cole (1948-2020) And all shut

down music joints world-wide.
