David Foster Wallace Song/Lyrics by: R. Egan Where we goin’? Are we guessin’? We find ourselves Right here again On a holiday. You’re heavy swimmin' With a shark bite sinkin’ in The television might Haunt my sleep tonight if I let it. You’re eatin’ roses Digesting beauty just because. Paid like a peasant Lost in love I got no money. Ahh where we goin’? Cos I’ve been wishin’ That chemically We’d fall asleep And never wake For the open curtain dream. There ain’t no show like the one I know get caught just listenin’ When I wake up I find it hard to walk away. Temptation is glowin’ Darlin we let it go Oh oh oh Too far to rewrite the wrong Put it down, little honey Get down. You think it’s push and shove Round here I think you try too much. You gotta get your fix Where your ambition is Will only bring you down. We used to think (think) We had it all controlled. Up to our necks (necks) We’re being sold. We used to think (think) Without a broken signal Lagging in the mud. What we go through Is no surprise I only fear where We’re headin’. No mystery No smoke screen Our demise Is the high we’ll be gettin'. CHORUS

Wasted On You Song/Lyrics by: R. Egan I could say that you’re right I could say that I love you wrong. You can step out of light Cos no matter how far you’ve gone I’d offer you my lonely call To come on home. I’m a year older than the man I left behind. Gettin' sick of the days That keep me up all night. But it’s something And that’s more than I could say A year ago. Everything that begins as mystery Ends in doubt. Yeah this place it hurts me too But we can work it out. But if not, then we’ll go To the hills, to the shore I don’t mind. Yeah I’d offer you my lonely call To come along. Wasted on you Because you are the only thing I could do. All things combined I'm up from the ground Skyscrapin' my mind. Wasted on you I can’t shake it off Or maybe I don’t want to. Oh baby you were right Oh baby you were right Our love it won’t let us down.

Under the Great Wave Song/Lyrics by: R. Egan I've been in and out the house of luck It's a cold machine where the lights are dull And the beds stay harder than stone. All my wishes, all my discontent Just swimming with the sediment in the current It's harder to row. Then you came when the morning closed in Through revolving doors, when they start to spin You around, all around. Oh let's leave this place and start again. Under the great wave I'm singing to you Woman I won't pass judgment on you. Shaped of the sweet clay A drink to my mouth No honey I won't be letting you down. In a moment how the world can lift Up its curtain and expose a gift. Were you watching to see when it’d come? I keep you close in my mind darling Cause you just can’t know Where the road of roads Will be winding and picking its slopes. So let’s leave this place And start again. CHORUS

Loosen Up 05:16
Loosen Up Lyrics by R. Egan; Song by J. Stasio/R. Egan Loosen up No one's expecting you No need to rush on up the line. Fall back in No time for suffering Count every passing string of light. Don't believe What everybody sees You got no business serving them. Hold the rope By the front of your teeth It's gotta give eventually. Spending time Inevitable light Will welcome you. No matter what you will go through. It welcomes you. Oh trouble you could cut it loose. Loosen up Find a friend Till every drink that's in the place Is at its end. You belong To no one And when you finally realize You're whole again. Whole. Spending time Inevitable light Will welcome you. No matter what you will go through. It welcomes you. Oh trouble you could cut it loose. You're workin' the beat After all And nothing comes easy. You will spend your life Burning for it. You were born and you'll die all worn out. I'm sure. CHORUS

Unraveling You Song/Lyrics by: R. Egan Come home late You’ve been making up stories About where you been. Listen, I’m not crazy. But who gets off thinking They can wander round Without a care for me. I know what you want And who you got it from. It’s because I haven’t made a decent living yet I made you turn to that. It’s from keeping myself locked up Oh there’s no excuse Worth seeking now. Your body is the proof That no one should do What you do. No matter how I look You seem unreal to me. Unraveling you. The play is on. The night is meltin’ Under your tongue. Oh how long Were you planning to run?
6.
Let's Sleep Around Song/Lyrics by: R. Egan Some see me wandering In and out of subtle dreams Cos I'm lost when I'm not with you Let's sleep around. I feel like a drum beat No liquor stains on my teeth But I say things I never would do Let's sleep around. Oooh. I come over but you got me running Oh it takes a bit of getting used to I'm gonna get to just what I need to do Let's sleep around. I believe I've been warned now Don't ever trust someone to have it figured out Ooh no other ooh had me good as you Let's sleep around. Oooh. Well I twist my heart off the vein Little honey I think it's something to do With the strange temptation I get just thinking of you. Because I never knew that you were shifting and changing out of your skin. And I guess it's time to move on but it never begins. I don't remember how it was before.. So I'll forget my love just like you Did with yours Oh oh oh!

Some Life 03:47
Some Life Song by J. Stasio; Lyrics by: R. Egan Just one more night and then I become older. When I climb Over that wall. Falling upwards It's indescribable lately Land of honey, I can't... Endure another Act of your white lies. Why am I always echo and you with no reply? ---The irreversible high Let me down and cut me from the vine. ---How to kill the light? I'll go blind. Now it's out and in the open you'll find me Don't deny me Peace of mind. Just one balloon and we could set it off But filled with water and concrete It can't carry me So I can't... Endure another Act of your white lies Why am I always echo and you with no reply? ---The irreversible high Let me down and cut me from the vine. ---How to kill the light? I'll go blind.

Last Evenings (Floating) Song/Lyrics by: R. Egan Early night moon wander Flooded road Watched the avenue unwind I nearly lost the time. Made a call, got answers But not from you Baby we are in end times I hope it's televised. You went off, found shelter Made your mind, now you gotta stay. Yeah. Everyone goes under While I know you're miles away. Floating to you I think I'll cut my anchor loose But I'll need a burning light To make it alive. Where could I go To leave the past in undertow? Would you write me and please guide me to your door? That first time When we just talked all night Interrupted by some sunlight No I didn't mind. But this ain't some fiction Story left open wide You make me shiver, I'll probably fry At the end of it all… Floating to you I think I'll cut my anchor loose But I'll need a burning light To make it alive. Where could I go To leave the past in undertow? Would you write me and please guide me To your door?

The Mountain 04:18
The Mountain Song/Lyrics by: R. Egan Waking up so cold and distant I forgot where I was Though you warmed me through the night. Soon enough when leaning on the porch The early morning Glad we left it all behind. I got news to share with you Oh my home is a body in the wind. Uh huh huh I stretch my arms to protect you. Vacancy can be so perfect when it’s what you hoped for. Fire burned on through the day. Walking through the courtyard festival Where the tents are lined up. It’s a wonder why we’ll turn away. I got news to share with you Oh my home is a body in the wind. Uh huh huh I stretch my arms to protect you. When the news came through the wire In the night. We drove down to the town. And though we tried to keep it quiet We couldn’t hide it from day light. And though the news to leave brought sadness Yeah the leaves had turned again. Nobody knew how long they’d had us Nobody here to call a friend. CHORUS

How Many Summers Do We Have Left? Song/Lyrics by R. Egan You'd better send me away Cos I'd never quit and it's just too late Some conversation melts in the rain I hope to see you again. Look how slow time seems to heal Either it's me or you don't even Feel it. I guess I'll wait 'til we float towards the ceiling. I hope to see you in my death. I am a beast You made so sure How long I've adored you Oh you're thicker than the bones That have built you Into space and there's nowhere else. Ooo When you sleep Do you dream reality? I wanna know. Ooo Because your life Is just so far from it. Ooo Bed of nails Couldn't keep me awake Once I'm gone. Ooo I'll go but there's nowhere else.
11.
You Belong To The Minutes Song/Lyrics by: R. Egan You're sorta stuck where you’re standing are ya? You added up and couldn’t let it go. You counted money, told your friends you're running. Uh huh. It's such a mystery trying to be a man You gotta leave but where oh I don't know. Oh and suddenly a rain is falling Uh huh Some words can start to dig a tunnel Kept under them they hardly ever know. But if you ever really needed something Well I could help you on. Ah, Here she left it like a painting No words could say just what you’re thinking Don’t know just how you feel But I’m here.
