You think you’re walking down a dead end street Your ego’s talking but you can’t compete A hunter stalking for his winter meat But it’s just a bone You heard the story how the west was won The second coming of the favorite son He’s counting down the ending three two one On a microphone No wrong answers You’re stuck in your mind On questions meant to keep you under Woke from a daydream Starting to...

I’ve been thinking about this place we call the old US of A A beautiful experiment gone horribly astray United ain’t the first word that comes to mind today While we’re on the brink of throwing it all away And lately you might say we got ourselves into a jam Some might argue it’s the track that we’ve been on since vietnam So I’m typin out a letter to my dear old uncle Sam With a new American anthe...

Clouds go slowly by my window This summer nearly every day I’ll sit and watch em pass Forget about the hourglass Just kinda dream the day away Some days I don’t even leave the house No one comes knocking on my door It’s the perfect alibi In case you ever wonder why I don’t really see you anymore Time goes on but clouds are Never really gone The forecast has no bearing on the sky above I only want...

The winds are whining Soft and low To a static hum On the radio Last day on earth Last day on earth The screens are dark The birds are flown A black cat crosses The street alone Last day on earth While echoes slow At different speeds Shadows blow through Like tumbleweeds Last day on earth Last day on earth When no one’s left To play pretend That the whole world’s not About to end Last day on earth...

They told you how it’s gotta be But old friend you never asked me You can paint inside the lines Obey all the traffic signs Blink twice if you want to break free They told you if you want to advance You’ve gotta put on your tap shoes and dance Put on a little show Sing to the back row Only then they just might give you a chance You don’t want to be stuck Spinning wheels in the muck With your armch...

You don’t know me But I know you A weed in the garden You reluctantly grew You took to the stage And we stuck like glue A turning the page A new golden age And I had no way to tell you What you meant to me How you gave my soul One good shot at getting free So I’m writing it down But you’ll never see And it’s alright It’s alright with me And every town We traveled through On a quest for the perfect...

Peripheral Vision Blues (live) by Adam Dunetz

The odds were stacked against us Ever making it this far Like m&m’s in a jar We were one in a million I always figured in the end It would just be me and my guitar On a stool in some bar Or the occasional pavilion Some dreams went unexpressed But we never could have guessed How we ended here From where we were back then Think once Think twice Think three times It would be so nice If we could find...

Nothing new just taking in the view from the underground Time to kill in a hole to fill sit still don’t make a sound Old friends turned to loose ends they don’t ever come around When you’re underground It’s cold down here when the ghosts appear through an open door They’re a lot like you they just walk right through and settle on the easy score Two ton casket no sympathy can mask it anymore When y...

Living in the same town forever and a day We used to run into each other a little more around the way When anything was possible And we didn’t need quite all these new protections I only see you at the crosswalk now We go in opposite directions There was a time when our peripheries were close enough to touch When getting past go was easy as pushing in a clutch We’d meet on common ground And laugh...

Nothing matters like it used to No one’s waiting by the door There ain’t nothing new between us That wasn’t there before I’m gonna need some information I’ve got a pocket full of change Tell me everything you know now Soon I might be out of range And the future’s like a freight train Rolling blind into a wreck And the past is like a hammer Hanging tight around my neck Burn the letters that I wrote...
