Lyrics by Brad Pogue

Art work by Olivia Mager

I've walked these streets on blistered feet, miles and miles away from home.

I've slept on floors on distant shores cold and rattled to the bone.

Open my heart, come on in, stay a day or two.  I'll do my part by listening and singing songs to you.  I'm making room.    I'm making room.  I'm making room for you.

I built these walls, ignored your calls.  Tried everything to keep you out.  I dreamed that my self esteem would conquer any of my doubts.

Open my heart...

Lost inside my empty room no one comes for me.   Patiently in drifting gloom I call out for relief.   Help me, help me please, help me.

Lyrics by Brad Pogue

I miss the southern breeze, moss hanging from the trees, crickets calling my name.      I've got these LA lights, staring at me in the night, pointing fingers of blame.     Then there's you - one more reason to leave.

I miss my hunting dog, fishing at the old creek log, staring at the moon.  I've got these clubs and bars, loud music and fancy cars - a picture of you.   And it's true there's no reason to stay.

            I'm a fish out of water and I'm dying on the rocks.                             I'm a fish out of water, a bull in a china shop                           I'm a fish out of water I'm just trying to get back home.                     I'm a fish out of water, a square peg in a round hole.             Caught between love and gold.

I love the spotlight coming at me from stage right.  I love the roar of the crowd.  I hate the arguments we always seem to get whenever I'm not around.  And it's true,  my hearts missing you.

Fame is a fools fortune and it's not worth the chase.  When all I ever needed was your embrace.

There was a father and a daughter now.  Walking hand in hand.  Now they're trying find how it ended in quicksand.  Sometimes I feel like the whole world's falling apart.   Sometimes I feel like the whole world's breaking my heart.

She tells me that she's gonna be fine, she'll be okay.  She's gonna step on land mine cause she's lost her way.      Trying to read what the signs are telling me.  Pleading my case on both of my knees.

Feel like I'm losing you, feel like I'm choosing to cry.         Inside I'm bruising that's why I have to prove it or die.              So you can see it with your own eyes this chapter in our lives.

So I'm sitting here wrestling for words that will get through.    I don't know about anything except I love you.        Sometimes I feel like the whole world's falling apart.     Sometimes I feel like the whole world's  breaking my heart.  Sometimes I feel like the whole world's killing me.

Round and round I keep running . I hear the sound of my own feet hitting the ground.  Click clack clickety clack.                      Up and down I keep pushing I think I found my own beat starting to pound - boom, boom, snappety snap.                    See the little girl with the smile on her face?  I'm the only pony in this carnival race.   Look at all the memories that we're going to make when the music starts to  play.

All the lights, they keep flashing.  In the mirror I look dashing and proud.  Look, look, look at me now.                                      The  air tastes like cotton candy.  Don't waste this prancing I've found.  Look, look, look at me now.                                          See the little girl with the smile on her face?  I'm the only pony in this carnival race.  Look at all the memories that we're going to make when the music starts to play.

On this Carousel, dreams are what we sell.  On this Carousel, spinning round and round and round.                                            On this Carousel, Life's just a fairy tale.  Casting magic spells.  Spinning round and round and round.

Lyrics by Makenna Olson and Brad Pogue

I've been dreaming bout the Great Big Road and I'm longing to go there.  I need it to take me home, cause I feel so lost here.  Feels like the ghost of myself is walking these streets alone.

On the way to that Great Big Road, I'll smell all the roses.  Say thank you to all of those who lent me their voices.                 When I sit on that Great Big Road  I'll hear you calling.  Singing that song so low like the Mississippi crawling.        Feels like the ghost of myself is singing these notes alone.

Now what do you call that?   It ain't misbehaving.  Why do you say that I' ve lost my mind.  And how do you know that my soul's worth saving?  When you can see that it's me that is lost most of the time.

I see the road signs go outside of my window.  Every inch of my skin is beginning to electrify.  Cause I know that this journey I'm on can only be mine.

At the end of that Great Big Road all my friends will be there.  Mama and Papa and all my dogs.  All the love that we shared.   Feels like the ghost of myself has finally made it back home.

Lyrics by Brad Pogue

Even in the quietest moments I spend with you.  Feels like my heart is racing, like I'm running through a ring of fire - a tunnel of love.  With lighting bolts striking from above.        Even in the darkest hours I can see your light.  Feels like my eyes are blinded when I'm in your sight.  Like the heart of the sun, from a loaded gun shooting stars at my love.

I'll run to you when my cup is empty.                                               I'll run to you when I'm feeling blue.                                                   I'll run to you and you hold me gently.  When  I think my life is through, I'll run to you.

Even when the tears are falling you make me smile.  Out of breath and tired of calling your name into the wild.  Like a howling wind you lift me up again to the heights that nobody else can.

I'm alive again - I'm alive again - I'm alive again.                      And it's all because of you.

 

 

Lyrics by Paul Branton and Brad Pogue

Up the hill and down the road, steeper and deeper I go.  No expectations, shrugging my shoulders, it'll never happen I know.  Well I know that I belong below.                                         Well way up high  I pretend it's mine, I do it all the time.  Leave the valley behind I climb and climb into my fantasy life.  I can crack a smile and forget who I am for a while.

Pacifica - I want you in my life.                                                    Pacifica - Dancing in my dreams at night - crashing waves in the pale moonlight.  Pacifica!

In touch with my soul, there's no potholes to break up my reverie.   The higher I go more sparkle and show I can see the shining sea.  Doesn't matter who you are, rich or poor we all have scars.

There's no place left to go, the City told me so.                        There's a hollow wishing well at the top of the hill.
