TIME GOES FASTER
(words jeremy gluck music nikki sudden)
Some will say that the time goes faster
When we get older
But the sun is as bright
And the snow is a dazzling white
And nothing is anything but what it must be by nature be
Walking down the streets of an old city
Where the air has itself become gritty
And the walls are one kind of grey
Whatever you said sounds like a prayer
And then it seems like a way to be saved
Although when it stops you're still not there
It isn't too much to bear
But enough to make me smile
Even after all this time
Inside one body there's only as many stories
As the spring and the winter can tell
Inside that world of desires
What feeds the fires
Is what makes them die
In the morning the leaves are turning
And with them a whole river of time
And it's all gonna be all right
If you could only read between the lines
Don't think too unkindly of what others say
Don't hurry wherever you are bound
Because it's been there since long before you were born
And the waking dreams of your springtime
Will winter long and hard
And one day when the time is going faster
And the loneliness is too real to be denied
Remember that everything has been tried
And just let the pain rest inside
Where it will deliver your sleeping soul...
ONE MORE STORY
(words jeremy gluck music nikki sudden)
Out on the frontier
A hundred miles from anywhere
Without a heart
After a war that broke my will
Lookin' for an excuse
To go cut somethin' loose
Somethin' I wouldn't ever wanna kill
But along came you
And it made me chill
I moved away, down the hill
You talked about yourself as if you really mattered
And your eyes they filled with love
But I knew I didn't matter and I never would
And you said it, I never had been any good
You talked about me and laughed at my mistakes
Maybe it was true
Maybe I should've listened to you
But before you were through
Instead I shot you down
I smiled at the people from the city
As they came and took me away
It was crazy I suppose to meet fate grinnin'
But it always my way
I remembered your kind words
All your blind faith
But everythin' added up the same
And in that game you always woulda been the one
To end up with the bullets
So now I'm doin' time and it's not something you can really
do
It's eating me and I don't much care
I never was much of anything and less than that and some
Just driftwood washed up on a shore that didn't know my name
Still and all it makes me wonder
What did I do wrong?
Nothin', except to kill a man...
And anyhow we all die
So wasn't he just as good as dead?
And if you don't believe in a God - and I don't
Then you know it was up to me just to go and see
Y'know, just what you were worth.
EPISODE IN A TOWN
(words jeremy gluck music nikki sudden)
Riding both sides of a razor
Sharp as the edge of town
Worth 99 cents marked down to 59
Drink that bottle down boys, drink that bottle down
Oh, the things I could've done...
