In the footlight
He takes his seat
1 2 3 birds fly by
The sentence he was writing
Structure incomplete
Like a caterpillar / butterfly
In time
In space
In motion
Fluorescent lights
Covering the ocean
Soon we'll be airbound
One way
Up off the runway
Falling into the sun
Wingspan
Reason
Ready for the distance
Waiting for the run
In time
In space
In motion
Fluorescent lights
Covering the ocean
Soon we'll be airbound
Though the hallways
Left right up down
Finishing the sentence
While waiting in the lounge
It's one way
Through everyday
Snap out - snap out - snap out - snap out
In time
In space
In motion
Fluorescent lights
Covering the ocean
Soon we'll be airbound

Brand New
Try to find the sun. It's over the building
Through the walls. Do you see it sinking
With us this time. The street , the heat of an engine burning
Check your breath at the counter - drive through
It's all so new. All brand new
Those are mountains I've seen them on T.V.
These must be the real ones
Try to catch a minute
Stop your watch and see if you still move
Cast frozen from trying to save the time it takes to
Take the time to save it save it
Log the data through
These things are all brand new
Born within the wires
But we have lived without them
Can you call, can you call, can you call me
To die without a phone. Turn out the light.
Is the heat on? What's wrong - wrong with this T.V.
We haven't had it that long
How long will we have it? How long? Turn out the light
Try to save the time it takes to take the trime to save it
Unplug it when you through
These things are all brand new
Turn out the light and lay your eyes down in the darkness. Keep them warm
Despite what they have seen
Fight the wars for gasoline
Until we are without it
We're gonna
Burn burn burn burn burn
Cast frozen from trying to save the time it takes to
Take the time to save it save it
Smoke of red and blue
These things are all brand new
Try to find the sun
Its over the buildings through the walls
Do you see do you see do you see it
Sinking

As The Eagle Cries
There's a lantern on a branch
It glows against the sky
Fire sparks golden wings in the night
And the eagle cries
So we laid to rest our country down down down
People gazed as banners waved
Goodbye to every town
Down the stream on rocks
The moss still grows
Yet time will free the likes of thee
Who wait for the next snow
All ideals are lost the pride's all gone gone gone
Once proud to praise
Now who will raise our flag
Come the dawn
From coast to coast
And on throughout the land
Stories of our past
Were carried once again
The constitution
Faded with the years
Yet people longed to reunite
The states that disappeared
The mist shall rise
The lantern shall glow
As kindle creaks incentive speaks
To those who feel they know
And men who shall prevail over what's lost lost lost
And morning dew to wake the few
From slumber's softened frost

Born Tired
Words and Music by David Shepherd Grossman Ó 2005
Knew a lady a long time ago
We stayed awake for a week
Told her how I loved her so
She wrote me a receipt
There's a bird on the wire and a cat on the fence
They sit there all day long
If I could live at no expense
I'd probably be there too
Chorus
'cause I was born tired born tired born tired born tired born tired
Sleep all night and I rest all day
Take odd jobs in between
After work I eat my pay
Then I catch up on some dreams
People say I'm lazy
I wish they'd let me rest
They all do what they got to do
And I do most what I do best
Chorus
Late one day in the afternoon
The landlord woke me up
Said my rent was over due
And he wanted every buck
Now I'm down at the station waiting on a train
And I don't really care where it goes
Got a change of clothes and a walking cane
Hit the flask in the handle when the cold wind blows
Chorus

Your World
David Shepherd Grossman ã86/ 2001
I'm not drunk I was born this way
As lost as the sky is high
Reaching for love
Lord knows why
Your head ain't on your shoulders girl
You let it fall down on the floor
I know how it is
I've been there too
It's a constant space I still float through
In your world
I'm not cold just forgot how to feel
But this pain is bringing me back
You're love fits like a uniform
But it reads like an out of state map
It's such a shame that it's just a game
You seem so happy when you're bragging 'bout your blues
I know how it is
I've been there too
It's a constant space I still float through
In your world

Guitar String Tattoo

Its raining now on Powell sitting in doughnut shop
I only have a dollar and some change
And I'm working on an angle
That will put me in some dough
The next time that you see me I'll be changed
Babe it may have been forever If only half a year
The tears you shed were real enough I know
The day that I went down
I couldn't think too clear
And never new my love enough to show
Two months down I knew between my bunk, the bars, the floor
All I really had in life was you
I only told old Wally
A lifer off the row
And he made for me this guitar string tattoo
It took him several days we stayed in from the yard
And made it look like we were playing spades
In between the shuffling
And cutting of the cards
Your name upon my arm
Was permanently engraved
Now I'm out of money 'cept for change enough to call
Wondering in my coffee what to do
It's raining doubt and diamonds
With this pay-phone in my hand
And on my arm a guitar string tattoo
