If you ran into me on a darker day
I suspect you may just walk away
Oh on a darker day when
I’ve forgotten what I’m suppose to say
Oh on a darker day

I’ve given up on giving up,
as it all seems so pointless now
Yes we will or won’t make it
through all this somehow
In the end you may or may not be called
upon to take a bow

It was so strange when you died on my front lawn
You were once so animated but now that part of you is gone
Yes you’re now in the suburban cemetery where apparently
you eternally belong as we know the forces of the universe
absolutely never do anything wrong
But still it was strange when you died on my front lawn

Like Winter Short Demo

It's starting to feel a little bit like winter
Yes it's starting to feel a little bit like winter
Why does it always feel a little bit like winter wherever I am
Maybe if I drink everything in this bottle
Maybe if I drank all this Jameson straight away
Yeah maybe it'll make winter go away
Even after I drank this whole bottle
Even after I drank all that Jameson straight away
Well you know it felt like winter the very next day

Kinda dark and primeval
It's just another necessary evil

Oh you love her but you really don’t
know why
Sometimes you want to live forever
and other times you just want to die
Sometimes you just want to give up
other times you really want to try
And then there are all those other
times you laugh and you cry
Yeah it all really* happens and you really don’t know why
Yeah it all really* happens and you really don’t know why
Oh you love her but you really don’t
know why
Sometimes you want to live forever
and other times you just want to die
Sometimes you just want to give up
other times you really want to try
Oh then there are all those other
times you laugh and you cry
Yeah it all really* happens and you really don’t know why
Yeah it all really* happens and you really don’t know why
Oh you love her but you really don’t know why
Sometimes you want to live forever
and other times you just want to die
Sometimes you just want to give up
other times you really want to try
Oh yeah then there are all those other
times you laugh and you cry
Yeah it all really* happens and you really don’t know why
Yeah it all really* happens and you really don’t know why

*The word really is left out in front of the word happens
in the demo performance. I assure you that's not going
to happen in any release performance. To me it is
absolutely critical for the maximum impact of the song
for the word really to come before the word happens.
P.S. The verses won't repeat in any release version the way
they do in the demo - MZ

Yes I'm always here at home
where I levitate in my bedroom all alone
and I contemplate if everything in life is just out
of reach for those who never learn
what they have to teach
Are we all just being consumed by our own little fires
Are we really only prisoners of our desires
Yes I'm always here at home
where I levitate in my bedroom all alone

I heard you were spending
all your time circling the drain
in Dresden as if someone would find
all your secrets out
When I get the time and the money
remind me to you what it’s all about,
oooh yes what it's all about
oh yes what it’s all about
I heard you were spending
all your time circling the drain
in Dresden

Driving endlessly west relentlessly towards the sun
except for of course when the moonlight was reflected
in your eyes
We were driving towards a land that we thought would have
the answer to all our whys where the people would speak
the truth and not in rambling lies
But somebody has got to go out there and tell them
we won
That we're the ones that get to dance all night
after our perfect work is done
That we're the ones that get to throw burning spears
at the moon and shards of glass at the sun
That we're the ones that took the oath
and swore we'd never run
Yes somebody has got to go out there and tell them that we
won

I knew there was something wrong
since the day that I was born
Into a shattered house where
the people were all ripped and torn
Yes out here on the edges of west Texas
it can certainly feel forlorn
And anyone with any sense
would get out before the storm
Yes I can’t remember did I take an oath
on the day I was born
To live the life to which everybody
acts as if I’m sworn
Yes I can’t remember did I take an oath
on the day I was born

Oh, ooh of course you don’t know
because you're the most useful,
useful idiot in the world
Oh, ooh of course you don’t know how
it’s going to go 'cause you’re most
useful, useful idiot in the world
Oh sometimes you may wonder
but you’ll never know
Because whoa, whoa, oh, ooh you're the most useful,
useful idiot in the world
Yes oh, ooh of course you don't know because you're
the most useful, useful idiot in the world

Michael Zenwarren Colorado
It all started with writing a few songs. Saying a few things in what I thought was an elegant and artful way. Soon it became obsession. Then I thought in this day and age obsession is meant to be shared with the world because the world is obsessed with obsession. Well here are ten brand new pre-production albums - for all of us to start obsessing over until the obsession is total. Thanks - MZ ... more
