The Tale of Moon Hollow
04:09
|
|||
|
Listen to the wilting night
And match her woeful sighs.
Rising from against the moon
And sinking with the tides.
There is only some good fortune
Lurking in the sand.
A message from the great beyond
for you to understand.
As your heart’s resounding through
The dreams you’ve come to know,
Gather all around to hear
The tale of Moon Hollow.
That is such a painful memory,
Forget it from your head.
Listen here and fill it with
Some sweeter dreams instead.
So, you’ve come to hear a ghost story
You’ll be begging and screaming for me to
Leave the lights on
Until its over and dead.
That rock n’ roll is in your head.
So, you’ve come to hear a ghost story
You’ll be begging and screaming for me to
Leave the lights on
Until its over and dead.
That rock n’ roll is in your head.
As your heart’s resounding through
The dreams you’ve come to know,
Gather all around to hear
The tale of Moon Hollow.
That is such a painful memory,
Forget it from your head.
Listen here and fill it with
Some sweeter dreams instead.

Verse 1
Got no reason,
Got no excuses to weigh me down.
I’ve got a thousand uses
For the lies you throw around.
We’re getting higher now.
Chorus
You got me stoned man.
Higher again.
You got me stoned man.
Higher again.
You got me stoned man.
Higher again.
Reaching out your hand and take me higher.
Verse 2
Don’t need money,
No, I don’t got no reservations,
I’ve paid my dues.
Oh yeah, she looks at me funny,
Every time I walk a mile
In another man’s shoes.
Chorus
You got me stoned man.
Higher again.
You got me stoned man.
Higher again.
You got me stoned man.
Higher again.
Reaching out your hand and take me higher
Than you can.
Come on now take me higher!
Verse 3
Got no reason,
I don’t got no reservations,
I’ve paid my dues.
Oh yeah, she says I’m a demon.
Every time I play guitar
and I sing my blues.
Chorus
You got me stoned man.
Higher again.
You got me stoned man.
Higher again.
You got me stoned man.
Higher again.
You got me stoned
You roll the bones
When you’ve got nothing to own.
You got me stoned man.
Higher again.
You got me stoned man.
Higher again.
You got me stoned man.
Higher again.
Reaching out your hand.

Waning Gibbous
02:44
|
|||
|
Verse 1
The moon is rising from the sun,
The morning sky is on the run,
Those heavy thoughts weigh on your mind.
Through lunar planetary shine.
And when it’s time to say goodnight,
The waning gibbous comes to light.
Verse 2
You hold a lotus in your hand,
Know time is just a grain of sand,
When there is nothing left to say,
I’ll take my leave and walk away.
And when it’s time to say goodnight,
The waning gibbous comes to light.
Bridge
And when she walks ahead
Through the valley of the dead.
I’ll be waiting by her side.
Verse 3
The interstellar gardens grow,
From fallen leaves to crystal snow.
Those solemn words from yesterday,
I’ll take my leave and walk away.
And when it’s time to say goodnight,
The waning gibbous comes to light.
The waning gibbous comes to light.
The waning gibbous comes to light.
The waning gibbous comes to light.
The waning gibbous comes to light.

The Doppelganger
03:20
|
|||
|
Verse 1
There is a story of a mythical man,
With crooked teeth and a hole in his chin.
Speaks in a language that you can’t understand,
A glint in his eye and a hook for a hand.
Chorus
Careful to wander the uncanny tread.
With all that confusion in your head,
The Doppelganger’s dead.
Verse 2
He is a menace to your sanity,
Cursed to what was an ungodly scene.
Could look like you and he could look like me,
His rule could mean the end of humanity.
Chorus
Careful to wander the uncanny tread.
With all that confusion in your head,
The Doppelganger’s dead.
Chorus
Careful to wander the uncanny tread.
With all that confusion in your head.
Careful to wander the uncanny tread.
With all that confusion in your head,
The Doppelganger’s dead.

Crooked Staircase
04:56
|
|||
|
Verse 1
Crooked staircase in my mind,
Must have seen it a thousand times.
Although its hard to climb,
Only made by your own design.
Chorus
You make, with all your mistakes,
Another take and you’re trying to run,
But you can’t escape
A hall with no end,
A hall with no end.
Verse 2
Crooked staircase in my mind,
In the maze you’re going to find
the shell where beauty shined.
Spirits walk the vanishing line.
Chorus
You make, with all your mistakes,
Another take and you’re trying to run,
But you can’t escape
A hall with no end,
A hall with no end.

Carolina Shade
03:02
|
|||
|
Verse 1
Carolina shade,
I want to stay.
In that same old place
Of yesterday.
I don’t want to say
I’ll never know.
To walk where dead men go.
Verse 2
Carolina shade,
Her evil ways
Tempt my guided fate
To disarray.
I don’t want to say
I’ll never know.
To walk where dead men go.
Verse 3
Carolina shade,
I’ll cross the line.
In a shaded cage
Of your design.
I don’t want to say
I’ll never know.
To walk where dead men go.

Same Old Song
02:20
|
|||
|
As your heart is beating soft and low,
There’s something that you can’t ignore.
When the night is gently sleeping
dim the lights and close the door.
Eyes alive and you know well, my love,
But no, you really can’t be sure.
When the wind was softly speaking,
Swear I’ve heard that song before.
Eyes alive and you know well, my love,
But no, you really can’t be sure.
When the wind was softly speaking,
Swear I’ve heard that song before.
Swear I’ve heard that song before.

Verse 1
Light unto a candle, the wick is within.
Burned up by the scandal of witches and men.
Say it in a whisper, tell it in a word.
Thrown out with the wicked, the ground is disturbed.
Fear of fallen angel, the innocent girl,
Call unto the darkness and shatter her world.
Heard it in the tall trees, felt it on the wind,
Diving to the bottom, her spirit descends.
Chorus
Haunting the days of evil begone,
Lost in the haze of her poisoning song.
Speaking in phrases of basilisk tongue.
Mildred Tuttle,
Save her from the dreaded fire and flame.
Verse 2
Sitting in wait for the demon’s return,
Killing of the cattle and fields he will burn.
Never needs a reason, to him it’s all a game,
He’ll leave you all twisted and screaming his name.
Chorus
Haunting the days of evil begone,
Lost in the haze of her poisoning song.
Speaking in phrases of basilisk tongue.
Mildred Tuttle,
Save her from the dreaded fire and flame.
Chorus
Haunting the days of evil begone,
Lost in the haze of her poisoning song.
Speaking in phrases of basilisk tongue.
Mildred Tuttle,
Save her from the dreaded fire and flame.

A Ghost in Bethlehem
02:27
|
|||
|
In my dreams,
Thought I had seen
The ghost of you
In Bethlehem,
Together we wake.
Eyes of God,
Faces have seen
The ghost of you
In Bethlehem,
Together we wake.
In my dreams,
Thought I had seen
The ghost of you
In Bethlehem,
Together we wake.

Dime a Dozen
03:22
|
|||
|
Verse 1
Time is all illusion now,
The great dividing signs.
All is rested in hiding wood,
The false concluding sound.
I’ve been taking the long way down,
Got a filtered sense in my blood.
And now there’s something wrong that I should know.
Chorus
Dime a dozen,
Sometimes it doesn’t
Make any sense.
Verse 2
Calling out in a timbred wind,
The moonlit colored shine.
My eyes have crossed, my bones they shake
with primal killing ties.
I’ve been taking the long way down,
Got a filtered sense in my blood.
And now there’s something wrong that I should know.
Chorus
Dime a dozen,
Sometimes it doesn’t
Make any sense.
