Roost Lyrics
Moonlight vapors - Lyrics by Bert Macdonald
“I’ve got a friend,” she explained to me.
“Who walks a line like you.”
You walk the line that you choose
And I’ll see you tomorrow when it rains
Breathe out before breathing in,
It’s a silent desperation
Day broken sunlight tangled
with the moonlight vapors,
curse the ground with a preaching sound,
who will be your savoir?
And I’ll see you tomorrow
When it rains.
Taller than the tail she tells,
Are the stinging shadows that still shine.
Perfect illusions all raised high,
And I’ll see you tomorrow when it rains.
Clockwork - Lyrics by Bert Macdonald
Clara Cocker,
Say hello,
Hello, hello
You’re now my friend.
It’s just like clockwork,
The time has come,
Has come, has come
Around the sun
Think ten years,
And go along
Along, a long
Time it’s been.
It’s getting harder,
Hard to find
a way, away
away she sails
Never run a way,
just to come back home
I wish this moment,
never had come
I know you like, hanging around…
… and I’ll be there too.
I’ve heard of strangers,
And stranger things
Strange things, strange things
Before my eyes
Clara Cocker,
She is not strange
Not strange, not strange
To find her here
The Door - Lyrics by Jeff Cutler
Gave us the slip out on our own,
Lost in the past, can’t find the phone.
Don’t know why, don’t know when
want to cry, but they say it’s a sin.
Get a voice, learn to speak
Listen well before you eat.
Rhyme and reason out the door,
Now I’m lying on the floor.
Cause I’m going round in circles headed no where but down.
The kids are all out playing running wild through the town.
I don’t know where he’s going, I really can’t be sure…
Johnny’s on the front porch and he’s headed for the door.
Watch the show for a while,
Don’t be afraid to wear a smile.
Reasons why, escape my brain,
Now it’s driving me insane.
Come with me, I’ll watch your back
I’ll sooth your wounds, we’ll be on track
Maybe short, might take long…
Nothing’s right and nothings wrong.
Take a picture of the scene
Have a flag, red, white, or green.
Run along, run with the bulls
Eat me up until you’re full.
Keep a moment from your day,
Rewind, pause, and then hit play.
Have a bourbon, on the rocks,
Hey old man, wash your socks.
If you’re ever down in
Don’t look me up.
Cause I was there a while,
And I got fed up.
I can’t say she’s done me wrong,
Cause she was fun.
But now I’m hangin’ out with whisky
On the run
If you’re gonna play the nice guy,
don’t come around here.
She’s always on the prowl,
This time of year
If your gonna play the nice guy,
Stick to your own.
Cause she’ll eat you up,
Chew you down to the bone.
If you’re ever down in
Pass on through,
Cause when she gets to know you,
She’ll like you too.
But only for a while,
She’ll kick you out,
Leave you there with nothing,
Except your sorry self doubt.
If you’re gonna play the nice guy,
Don’t come around here.
She’s always on the prowl,
This time of year
If your gonna play the nice guy,
Stick to your own.
Cause she’ll eat you up,
Chew you down to the bone.
Well, I was down in
And it broke my heart.
She wanted to save the world,
I said “I’m the place you should start”
We went our separate ways,
No hard feelings but she’s gone,
She’s gone to
In my heart and in this song
Hindsight - Lyrics by Bert Macdonald
I know I waste my time,
And I blow my mind on hindsight.
I shoulda, coulda done a lot of things,
to change my rings,
but I know that its not right
to paint a picture of a brighter day
with thoughts of grey,
change the dusk to dawn
I can’t figure this hypocrisy with democracy
and wonder what went wrong.
Try not to think about
The screams and shouts that go singing through my veins
Just understand that its hard to care, when I pull the hair that is growing from my brains.
Face to face, no points in lying, tears in crying,
Just a fall-out from within
I know its hard and the past is blinding,
There is no re-winding
Can’t live our lives again
Peek - Lyrics by Bert Macdonald
Perhaps I’ll climb to the top of this here tree,
To get a peek
Of what it is you’re looking at
If I could climb the clouds
I’d look on down
Sample in the array of sounds of
What it is you’re looking at
It’s been one of those days
That slips on by,
Burns my time…
Leads my mind astray
Wonder if that limb
Is a little to slim
To carry all the weight I bring
I bet it would all go crashing down.
And I’m down.
Down,
And I’m down.
A Little Behind - Lyrics by Jeff Cutler
Went out to a field
To get some wine
Worked all day
But I was feeling fine.
I was feeling fine,
Oh so fine
The sun was shining
But I was feeling fine
I was feeling oh so fine,
Just got a little behind.
Stepped outside
To get some air,
I was wondering if,
If you care
And if you do,
Yeah if you do,
I’ll send it back to you,
Put it all on you,
You were all mine,
Just got a little behind
Went out to a field
To get my wine
Worked all damn day
But I was feeling fine,
I was feeling fine
Oh so fine
The sun was shining
But I was feeling fine
I was feeling oh so fine,
Just got a little behind.
Tracks - Lyrics by Bert Macdonald
Followed tracks off a west coast island,
14 acres is not enough for me.
What can be said about liquid highlands, sinking?
Better learn to swim
Wrote you up in a feathered ballpoint pen, I say
Time is pending.
No use reading mis-spelled letters out loud, no
Times worth spending
Too many times,
You can’t talk about freedom of a life,
with or with out clues
Too many lies,
Involved with freedom of an eye,
watching every move
Honest curtains obstruct softly, blinding is the
Escaping light from my
Open windows, locked in winter, begging
Oh, won’t you come on in-
To the section I call loosing? no confusing
Always with never.
I thought “sometimes” seldom slid to slightly missing
Definite risk
Pechulie Julie - Lyrics by Bert Macdonald
Lost my car keys and I can’t find my left shoe.
My bike is busted, how am I to move?
Ooo, ooo
I Gotta canoe!
Pechulie Julie has fancy pants, hair dos
When her beats are boppin, makes me spill my juice
Ooo, ooo
She can bust a move!
Its been a sultry morning
The sun has yet to speak.
But she will give fair warning
And put the bargain out of reach.
Yes I said its morn, and my thoughts have gone array
She left me standing there three years ago today.
Yes I said its morn when she left me standing there
I grabbed that scent of hers, as it vanished in the air
Yes It’s morning now and my thought has gone array
She left me standing there three years ago today.
