She's perched up on a patio in some exotic European town She trod Camino Santiago her feet hardly ever once touched the ground With her computer and her camera a sangria in her hand She took a photo of her supper post her blog it says catch me if you can Buenos tardes eh senor Un vino blanco por favor She said this travel life's her passion she couldn't live life any other way I say she's searching for the Wizard of Oz but Tin Man's said he's gone away It's genuinely superficial,or maybe she's just trying to hide But the demons they still haunt her the ghosts tag along for the ride She's going down to Barcelona She's going down to Montreal Buenos tardes eh senior Un vino blanco por favor I have to hurry and catch my train It's my last flight We'll meet again...

Chandail 04:41
Un hiver so long ago J'ai recu un beau cadeau Bien emballer Decorer de rose papier et de ruban bleu Quand je l'ai ouvert Qu'ai je vue Une bonne surprise C'etait pour moi Un chandail violet et creme avec des losanges et un eclair You're just skin and bones Sticks and stones won't hurt me A year has passes so it goes I miss it so Quand il faisait un peu froid I'd put it on to keep me warm I'd zip it up it held me tight Chandail d'amout it felt so right Your just skin and bones Sticks and stones won't hurt me Skin and bones Sticks and stones won't hurt me Mon chandail Mon chandail que j'ai eu longtemps Mais je me suis laisse trompee One day I packed it up Mon chandail, I gave it back

When I was younger The world revolved around me When I was younger I just did what I pleased Toward the Insignificant I am coming closer Toward the insignificant I walk outside With my cappucino My cat Brushes against my leg I sit down on my rock Do status update Gino posts malady Doctor says the Big C HIs life has changed Toward the Insignificant I am coming closer Toward the insignificant I learned some lessons Did it really matter I'm just one life among billions On a little green (blue) ball I used to be so big but then I grew small

It's May15 and the weather's cold and wet Can't hardly hold my pen inside my hand I'm a melancholic, neurotic, whatchacallit This red wine headache starts my whole day off Well I'm 48 life coulda passed me by When the curtains closed I got on my bike to ride I hit the wall fell flat down on the ground I hit that wall Now I'm gonna kick it down I fell so far down I hit rock bottom I broke my back I was feelin' rotten I had no choice I took a stance I made that change I took the chance It's been six months still I feel a little sting What was a great big gash is now a teeny scab healing I had to push the pain and drag myself right through When push comes to shove only assholes get the blues I fell so far down I hit rock bottom I broke my back I was feelin' rotten I had no choice I took a stance I made that change I took the chance

ASTRID 03:45
When I was a girl I rode all over town You always came with me sun up to sun down We travelled the world within Saskatoon Went up on the train bridge we couldn't look down There was me and my cousins feelin' so proud In abandoned houses but we were so loud Randy went up those stairs no light in the lair I stayed at the bottom cause I was too scared Astrid, let's run away Astrid We have no master We can go faster and faster Astrid Let's fill up your basket We can go faster We can go We rode to my gran's on the west side of town Eating tomato sandwiches fresh from the vine With a grin she told me she went to confession Cause she bought hot coffee she's now in heaven Then we'd stop to see Shirley on Avenue G On the steps of the bingo she would tell me of boys she liked, then she'd steal a smoke Then onward we went destination unknown Chorus.. Astrid Under streetlights I'd sing to you like Stevie Nicks Dreams amidst Autumn Leaves having our kicks Then the snow'd start to fall and I'd put you away' And wait for next summer to do it again

What happened We've got nowhere to go Time quickens It used to pass so slow A hundred years ago A thousand of us strong March to the treeline Where our children born I once was one among so many... Recall the lichen Green fresh sweet Now air is acrid Quickens my heartbeat Skip to the present We're fragile as glass Wild rushing waters Fragmented our past Once was one among so many Once was one among so many I once was one among so many Now I'm one among the few One among the few One among the few

My Street 03:15
I got to watch my step as I'm walking down my street Can't seem to get it all together, no matter what I do I lost my keys as I'm walking down my street No doubt, Locked out, psyched out deja vu The bottom of line of you misunderstanding Results in my crash landing I'm only 10 minutes late for me it really means I'm early You'll be waiting by the Kaffe Looking at your watch Then I stop to breath cause I like to take my time and smell the flowers then the 10 turns to 20 turns to 30 Jack pot I better run better run better run better late than never I better run better run better run I'm running out of time Don't want to let down everyone still its better late than never I better run better run better run I'm running out of time. You're flatlining as I'm bouncing down my street Then you hook me round the collar and try to haul me back I go up I go down I go sideways down my street You say that I've been lost, believe me I've been found The bottom line of you misunderstanding results in my crash landing

Shell shocked shell shocked you'll never be the same you will fact this grim reality It'll never go away You thought when you came home Life would be the same You'd close your eyes and you would sleep Back in her arms again But the images they haunt you You can smell the blood You can see your brother laying face down in the mud Chorus Freezing cold's the least of it Digging holes Hauling shit Power lines are hanging Life like hangs by a thread There's a steady dose of casualties Bombs explode to near me Sweat skin blood bone You're not ever going home Chorus He falls backwards down his hole She reach to grasp his wrist but can't take hold Shell Shocked

What happened We've got nowhere to go Time quickens It used to pass so slow A hundred years ago A thousand of us strong March to the treeline Where our children born I once was one among so many... Recall the lichen Green - fresh - sweet Now air is acrid Quickens my heartbeat Skip to the present We're fragile as glass Wild rushing waters Fragmented our past Once was one among so many Once was one among so many I once was one among so many Now I'm one among the few One among the few

40 Foot Shadow at 4 in the afternoon It's the 2nd of November Now I'll have some room On my shoulders, they're still tired I hauled a heavy load But it's the 2nd of November and it's 48 feet high I got no house I took a loss I gave it all away I still give away my money I live day to day Head's barely above water Sometimes I still can't breathe Yet I feel a litter lighter I feel peace and ease Cause it's the 2nd of November Winter's coming soon I got a 48 foot shadow at 4 in the afternoon First think I look upward Sky's deep azure blue touching Hemlock and the balsam Grounds me keeps me true Through it all I kept my soul I even kept some pride Now and then I'm shaky In this life that is our ride It's the 2nd of November I can say I'm feeling fine I got a 48 foot shadow It's the 2nd of November I used to feel so low I got a 48 foot shadow A 48 foot shadow It's the 2nd of November I used to feel so small I got a 48 foot shadow I'm 48 feet tall

Aloner Alone 02:20
Here is sit inside my room 10 000 miles from home My friends drink beer upon the beach Why do I feel so alone The sun beats down on glistening sand Reflects upon the sea I exit quiet sneak into my room I sigh, oh poor me I'm a loner Always alone I'm aloner Leave me alone I climb my rock high on the cliff Watch the waves crash in I taste salt upon my cheek Tears drip to my chin I'm a loner Always alone Aloner Leave me alone You leave me here all by myself I don't feel surprised My friends tell me don't waste your time They hope that I soon get wise
