In Exile Part 1 of 3
"the plunge from grace"
Banished & alienated... a computer technician finds himself mercilessly alone, as he is forced into exile to confront a foreign world of nature.  His journey leads thru a cast of passionate souls & demons, as he eventually finds himself at the extremity of lhis own life.

verse 1
Innocence has kept you on the fence
your soul still reelin'
From undone, and now you're on the run
from a loaded past
Oooh, they say the squeaky wheel gets all the grease
Oooh, I guess its just our hearts learnin' how to reach
while, lookin' out for something real

verse 2
Love extends, to some it mends
but owes us nothin'
And if I had my way, you'd be free to chase
your hearts desire
Oooh, sometimes a kindred soul is all we need
Oooh, and sometimes the truth we seek is so far between
(when there's nothing left to cling to...)

Calico Rose, you're inline for something better
By keeping it real, without hurting your pride
Still, how'm I supposed to worry 'bout forever?

(break)
You can't go home
And I can't keep from travellin' alone
Wherever this road leads us
we'll weather the storm
Or certainly die tryin'

verse 3
You've been prayin', when you should be
takin' all of this to heart
You've been sayin' "true love is waitin'"
so go on backout thee and try again
Oooh, they say the squeaky wheel gets all the grease
Oooh, and sometimes a helping hand is all we ever really need
(when there's noone there to lean to...)

Calico Rose, we're in line for so much better
By keeping it real, without losing our minds
Still, how'm I supposed to worry 'bout forever?


Marooned
Bearin' down off the beaten path
Attentions run aground, but I can't look back... and I like it
Met a Riot Grrrl from Abilene
Lookin' for a break from her old man's dream
"C'mon little lady, we got nothin' to lose
You've paid your debts, and I've paid my dues"

"You smile too much!"
"You can tell me anything that you want to, honey
just don't drag me thru the mud"
Terminus... lost in time
Party bus done left us behind
"C'mon little lady, we got somethin' to do
Lets bid this night a fond adieu"

Out of the blue.. not a minute too soon
Nothings presumed, but I think we're marooned


(Pneuma) Just A Thought
I will bring you Light
hours before the dawn
I will be the one who buries
your instincts until they're gone I will bring you reasons
not to trust yourself
I can justify each action
just like someone else
I can make life easy
or I can break your heart
I can sense perception
to keep you on your guard
I can do so many things
Still, I am only in your mind
Here in the dark
Here in the darkness
I am just a thought
Here in the dark
Here in this darkness
I am your train of thought
I can do most anything you want me to
I can leave your past behind
You consider it adventure to stand for love & truth
But, its only in your mind
Who feels the shame when all our intentions fail?
Who feels the pain when sorrows hand prevails?
Here in the dark
Here in this darkness
I am just a thought
Here in the dark
Here in this darkness
I am your train of thought
