Postcards From Chelsea

Mystery

It's in your head no one else can see
From the words on a page in a book
I'm a cover to cover necessity
If you think it's so clear just look
When emotions run high there is heat
From your eyes down to your feet
You're thinking it's all so sweet
I'm lurking around I'm your mystery

The voice in the phone is deep
And you don't suspect a thing
The help operator is so obscene
He's napping and redirecting phone rings
When the cat starts to dance there's heat
From your eyes down to your feet
Your thinking it's all so sweet
I'm lurking around I'm your mystery

Pagey novels that makes you quiver
Don't know who dun it till the final page
I'm not your book you don't know me
I'm right beside you I'm your mystery

When emotions run high there is heat
From your eyes down to your feet
You're thinking it's all so sweet
I'm lurking around I'm your mystery

Stepped outside of that living book
I am your mystery
Stepped outside of that living book
I am your mystery
Yea, Oh, I am your, I am Your
I am your Mystery

I Don't Know Where Love Is

I don't know where love is
I saw her step out of the door
She said, " don't let love turn complacent"
This is how we are fading
We got smiling pictures for proving
We got cars clothes clutter and junk
Till you can't see the vision you came for
I hope she's hasn't strayed far

East meets west somewhere in the middle
When were really giving our best

I don't know where love is
Did I ever touch your soul
We got everything we wanted
Somehow we're still wanting more
When were all through with the waiting
And there's nothing left to ignore
You better get back to the real stuff
The love that lives down deep in your soul

East meets west somewhere in the middle
When we're really giving our best
Nobody wins with their hands in their pockets
In life everything's moving so fast
I don't know where love is

You have your head all up in the stars
I guess we're like Venus and Mars
Love turns on love blows up
What about us, is it not enough

Jacobs Ladder

Streets of New York are like the war
I think the Feds want to madden me more
A fatal experiment,I don't think it wise
Fire of guns we're killing our guys
I can see why no one talks to me
I know strange cause my head is disarranged
A person can't believe what my eyes can see
This synthetic ladder like a dose of LSD

Gabe- I'm on the route to your Lord
My Sarah - My wife before
I said Jezebel, Jezebel - fight which war?
World - Watch for more

Drafted for service the jungle Saigon
They thought we were soft or mentally numb
A ladder to madness a drop chute to hell
Always top secret and never to tell
Now I have no family a lover I find
Don't know if she loves me or if she's just in my mind
No you won't believe what my eyes can see
This synthetic ladder has disabled me

Money

Here in our house we always know who we are
We take the lessons that seem to fall from her heart
Out there in the mist we must compete to get by
We're children, We're learning, we grab what we need to survive

She said, I know you’re hurting, And you're depending on me
I brought you here and I'll give you what you need
But if you try to help yourself, I'll never leave you alone
You want more, you take more, how much do you need

Money and everything that you want
Money and every thing that you need
Money money will kill a rising star
Oh and how important you are

It’s anybody’s guess if you’re still inside you
In every life there's a mess but we will get through 

You've got your friends they got money to burn
They're alway's one step ahead of you it's more than you can ever earn
So you pawn your happiness and look like someone you’re not
Trading the lessons that once fell from her heart

Once Again

It took years to decide
To call on your brothers
Time can divide
And leave you standing alone
Life is like a tailspin
No one knows just where it's been
Brother won't you let us in
We just want to be your friend
Once again

The band takes it's pride
Performs like no other
Memories are clear
Boys became brothers
Life is like a tailspin
No one knows just where it's been
Brother won't you let us in
We just want to be your friend
Once again

Drive all night through memories in time
No way to forget
Songs that take individual lives
Keeps them intertwined
Harmony reunites
Once again

Once again
Once again...
