I have got to make those damn videos! I have three days of vacation left, and I have to edit two three hour videos! Gah\u00f7 I don\u00cct know why I\u00ccm so lazy\u00f7 On the other hand I\u00ccm not really lazy. Today I wrote out the lyrics to three of the songs on the Long Beach Shortbus<\/A> album I mentioned yesterday. Yeah, the CD is still so rare the lyrics aren\u00cct written out anywhere.<\/P>

Here they are:<\/P>

\nBetter Than This<\/STRONG><\/FONT><\/I>

Well every man needs to get a little sleep
<\/FONT>We all need sanctuary from the trouble on the street
<\/FONT>Working hard and making money
<\/FONT>But I rather be dreaming underneath the shady tree
<\/FONT>
<\/FONT>And it\u00ccs six in the morning
<\/FONT>I\u00ccve been up all night
<\/FONT>Can\u00cct stop the wheels a turning
<\/FONT>And I\u00ccm fearing delight
<\/FONT>I\u00ccm so spun out but I think I know what we could do
<\/FONT>I\u00ccm exploding with ideas but I can\u00cct call you
<\/FONT>(Oh Lord)
<\/FONT>I hear people in the tree
<\/FONT>I\u00ccm going on a mission, unlock my ten-speed
<\/FONT>(Oh Lord)
<\/FONT>I hear the place is hot and swarming with police
<\/FONT>There\u00ccs a man on the corner with his camera on me

<\/FONT>Well I\u00ccd do anything to get a little rest
<\/FONT>I think a nightmare would be better than this
<\/FONT>I think a nightmare would be better than this
<\/FONT>There\u00ccs a house that says “haunted” up the street
<\/FONT>The last family that moved in evacuated in a week
<\/FONT>That voodoo lady always got to me
<\/FONT>But I\u00ccm searching for a spirit desperate for company
<\/FONT>
And it\u00ccs six in the morning
<\/FONT>I\u00ccve been up all night
<\/FONT>And I\u00ccm tossing and a turning
<\/FONT>And I\u00ccm fearing delight
<\/FONT>I\u00ccm so spun out but I think I know what we should do
<\/FONT>I\u00ccm exploding with ideas and I can\u00cct call you
<\/FONT>(Oh Lord)
<\/FONT>I hear people in the tree
<\/FONT>I got to take the world on a mission with me
<\/FONT>(Oh Lord)
<\/FONT>I had a close brush with forty-eyed destiny
<\/FONT>And I hope that you\u00ccre looking and you see right through me

<\/FONT>Well I\u00ccd do anything to get a little rest
<\/FONT>I think a nightmare would be better than this
<\/FONT>I think a nightmare would be better than this

<\/FONT>I think a nightmare would be better than this<\/FONT><\/P>

Stray With Me
<\/STRONG>
<\/FONT><\/I>I am not asking you for your heart or your hand
<\/FONT>And I not know what to do with your soul
<\/FONT>But to wake up beside you in the morning
<\/FONT>And to see you softly breathing
<\/FONT>And the movement of your eyes dreaming
<\/FONT>And to feel your flower softly bleeding
<\/FONT>Is all that I am needing

<\/FONT>Just stray with me awhile
<\/FONT>Stray beside your man awhile
<\/FONT>Stray with me awhile
<\/FONT>Stray beside your man awhile

<\/FONT>Stray beside your man awhile

<\/FONT>I am not searching for some perfect destination
<\/FONT>I don\u00cct know where I\u00ccm going at all
<\/FONT>But to unexpectedly find you in a mountain
<\/FONT>Or to get you out of the fountain
<\/FONT>And to know where this old roadway lead
<\/FONT>I know you\u00ccll truly miss me
<\/FONT>That\u00ccs all that I am needing

<\/FONT>So stray with me awhile
<\/FONT>Stray beside your man awhile
<\/FONT>Stray with me awhile
<\/FONT>Stray beside your man awhile
<\/FONT>
So stray with me awhile
<\/FONT>Stray beside your man awhile
<\/FONT>Stray with me awhile
<\/FONT>Stray beside your man awhile

<\/FONT>It\u00ccs all that I am needing<\/FONT><\/P>


So I guess it\u00ccs just that I am too lazy to start projects that I know will take me a long time. Or I’m probably just sick of making videos…<\/P><\/FONT><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
