lyrics

Joseph can you hear me
i believe a car is pulling up outside
the static guns have tracked us down
and these chips have left us no place else to hide
remember years ago, we shared a moment,
far from all this silicon and space
it's those simple acts of kindness that I miss
way back when rhythm left no trace

but now my century is crashing on the airwaves
and though ashamed, I must admit that these were my days
so now I walk without a soul, because the century I've known
is blowing away...

Joseph can you hear me
I believe the voodoo lights have tracked us down
so hide those books and records, all those love songs
well I bet you're glad you wrote 'em down
well it really was a thing of beauty
back before the satellite's control
we'd buy bread on the weekends,
watch the old folks dance,
and listen to the thunder roll...

but now my century is crashing on the airwaves
and though ashamed, I must admit that these were my days
so now I walk without a soul, because the century I've known
is blowing away...

and I feel destiny upon me like a golden ship with burned out sails
and every time I try to reach inside myself and find the man that's there
I just find a man who's scared

Joseph can you hear me
I believe the stars are falling from the sky
all this communication makes me feel so cheap
like we never could see eye to eye
so tell them when they slip inside the airlock
that I've headed on my way
to justify my life here on this planet
and to try and live one perfect day

but now my century is crashing on the airwaves
and though ashamed, I must admit that these were my days
so now I walk without a soul, because the century I've known
is blowing away...

Thanks for visiting us online. Managing songs is like herding cats...old revisions, new revisions, added a solo here, a backing vocal there, blah blah blah. Hoping to update this as we finish the songs...always a few in progress. Look for some country'ish stuff over the next few months. Yee-Haw.
Thanks.
