Anthony:
My mother called me Anthony
I haven’t changed much since then
I’ve smoked since I was a teen
Everybody seemed to agree
I call it my other identity
I borrowed my look from old greats
Those character men, those privates who offend:
When Jake gets the girl before she disappears again down those L.A. Streets
In the final scene
But its time to change my ways : quit my crying at the movies
Pearly white sticks and a candy craze
I filled up my hours with trees
It was easier than being alone with my thoughts and dreams , and no company
Scared I was Empty, nothing to say
Everything I can do has been done
So where is that voice, and the one who has a choice
To push through the plain, then let go of it again
What will it say, when I’m afraid?
“Oh Anthony, be brave, and find a different way to operate”
“Wind in the saucer
sick in the roster
Call the saints
Go to the alter
Bronx and Gilbraltor
all the saints
If in the skin is
Harder to live in
Call your saints
Poor or the rich will
Healing the sick will
All the saints”
My old friends through me a stag party
They called everyone in my phone
The usuals came around
And then each in turn , went out to burn
Something has shifted, and clouds have changed
But i still will miss the old me
Where sweaters and scarves go missing in the dark
I'll take in a breadth , and then let go of it again
I’ll hear the way it oscillates.
“Oh Anthony , be brave, and find a different way to operate”

Terrence
And Terrence Lands on labor day, that humid summer
How could I forget how the record spins, his hair was longer
When he met that boy from the neighborhood, I can just see his face
And the picture slows down
His life as the man from Bensonhurst was merely over
And that neighborhood kid, and the dance they did at the crops car wash
While the nosy set from the neighborhood, they saw us at the pizza place
But nothing slowed them down
While the children played in hydrant spray, when we laid down……
Chorus:
“Ain’t it fierce how from sun to ground, it’s a trade?
Ain’t it fierce how from night to day, it’s a trade?”
Ao hard to get the tourniquet with the Irish Catholic
When the Body Wants in the back seat of cars, the kiss is frigid
With his mustang drone , and the eyes that shine
So Heavy Through the Ginzo Parade, he knew he loved him then.
With his leather tan, those jeans so tight
And Then it Came, when peril set , that humid summer
Cuz when he was asked, the kid denied it all to their faces
Terrence said “what gives, all this love we did,?
In a basement we carved out a space, but you blew it up to waste”
Then the final kiss, like mouthpiece spit, when we laid down…..
We lay wasted, on labor day, 8 years later
Out came the beers, and the plastic lawn chairs and, Terrence Came
We went separate ways, he lived in Spain, we never saw each other again, and the record spins
When the record spins, the band plugs in, when we laid down…
Another summer that we bought then, when we laid down….
“Ain’t it fierce how from sun to ground, it’s a trade?
Ain’t it fierce how from night to day, it’s a trade?”

Expose:
It's my friday night, so if you’re going nowhere
Is it right now?
Take me outta here, if it’s to your car…
Yes I’m willing to, yes I’m hoping to let go of something
Going on inside of me
Once and for all
A beach rat, a kool kat
I play on TV, I play it for you, you play one for me too,
While your talking
Chorus:
And i hear music..
Does that mean you wanna dance with me?
So lets not lose it if we can
If you want, you should dance with me?
Here with you,
I will be
Unafraid (you’ll help me be not afraid)
In your arms, and alone
Expose
There’s no moon tonight
And you’ve got a face I like
I’m feeling myself,
Are you feeling you?
Sure hope you are..
I think the moments right
to undo knots to tight
The tension is fierce
Let down your guard,
I’ll let down mine too.
You touch me, and kiss me
Then touch my body, and do it again
I feel a release, come in for landing
And i hear music….
And i hear music..
Does that mean you wanna dance with me?
So lets not lose it if we can
If you want, you should dance with me?
Here with you
I will be
Unafraid (you’ll help me be not afraid)
In your arms
In the zone
Expose (you’ll help me be not afraid)
In your arms
And alone
expose...

The Great Summit- (Cherry Decides whether or not they should go the fuck home.)
I call you late
In a panic heavy state
My trusted friend should know the way.
And when she would call,
(she generally would call)
I wouldn’t always know,
Know what to say
To comfort you
Somehow you’d put your hand on it
All those time , you’d just get it
This time you say you know what you wanna do
You know how loves looks good on you
You ask what you want from the universe
So I ask it then from the universe
I ask it then from the universe
I put that out into the universe
And when I put that out into the universe ….it goes, …………
From east to west
You called me once like that
That worry that you gave a name
Inspector Grey is on the case
And the floodlights were on
And you were driving shitfaced
But you called me then
At 95 and highway 10
You turned left and never looked back again
You said “there was this anvil in my bed,
He generally slept with his head on my chest”
(So I packed up my heart to the universe
And I drove it through to highway 10
And I never looked back again)”
Thats what I heard from the universe
When I asked this thing to the universe
I put that into the universe
And When I put that out into the universe, it gave me…….
In pounds , in droves
(now while driving, Cherry sees many fields, many exits where he could have turned off i-95, but didn’t)
“Thanks for chatting “ then I say
I feel better anyway
You drove it to the great summit
And I can face my things
Name them if I’ve a mind to.
You drove it to the great summit
95 and highway 10
And didn’t looked back again
So after we hang up
We go searching for my keys
And in my heart is inspector Grey,
Only this time , he isn’t grey
There are plaids and the evergreens
They’re staring right back at him
He takes the Ingot from a swim
He says, where you go, yes the forests will sing
(there is wind, rain and sunshower, Cherry keeps driving regardless)
He’s asking for me to the universe
Ask what you want from the universe
you put that out into the universe
And when you put that out into the universe it goes……
Where you will go.
