Vicious Circle 04:42
lyrics

VICIOUS CIRCLE Twenty dollars over the limit It's trouble, see? We're living in a vicious circle And we must get free The power of a pyramid Hasn't done a thing for me A dog on a raft in the ocean Is not a 'cur to sea' But you've got your best face on When you clean the floor You had your nest egg won It's not true anymore America the beautiful Where have you gone? We put you in a pretty package Sold you for a song Here comes suit and tie A measure of success He's selling out all of main street Your momma could be next But you've got your yes face on Knock upon the door Tell you "it's the best place" Then "give a little more" Riding on an ocean liner All your blessed goods A brand new logo to die for In the neighborhood Here comes man with gun He's coming for your shoes It's not how you play the game now It's what you've got to lose But you've got your flag pin on What a patriot It all looks so damn good From a private jet

Step Away 04:36
lyrics

STEP AWAY Is it just another day Living in a state of tension Racing through your mind Everything that you can't mention Don't spend another day In the hands of oppression Go and find the key Drop it in, start the engine Life doesn't give any iou Or tickets to the temples of cash It's time to form a brand new line And step away from disaster There's more than meets the eye In the face of a stranger Don't you ever wonder why You feel your life's in danger So we could live without walls In one great mansion Built on solid ground Far away from the canyon We can share our daily bread With the people who lack attention Or leave them there for dead In the gutters and the trenches Life doesn't give any iou Or tickets to the temples of cash It's time to form a brand new line And step away from disaster copyright registered 2015 edward layne philipp

Sea Is Raging 04:47
lyrics
buy track
SEA IS RAGING The sea is raging And the sky is grey The sea is raging Now it's time to pray Misfortune found us On the rocks with the waves and the wind And that same old feeling Is coming back to haunt us again See the black tide rising Headed straight for the northern shore Now the coast is dying With the ones who will fly no more Because the sea is raging And the sky is grey Yeah the sea is raging Who could hold back all of the waves? You say: "in a hundred years none of this will matter much" It's just another symptom Of a generation out of touch See…a lack of indiscretion Has led you to a narrow way Standing on the rooftop That overlooks the entire bay The sea is raging And the sky is grey The sea is raging Do we have the time to change our ways? Yeah the sea is raging And the sky is grey The sea is raging Can you ride the wave? copyright registered 2015 edward layne philipp

Requiem 04:39
lyrics

Requiem I've seen you in my dreams Sometimes a great bird on the rolling sea Flying here from lands unseen You light up all of my darkest dreams I've heard you on the radio Sometimes a passing note or one that's ringing on Sounding out from worlds unheard Where all the things that kill are cured They've seen you gliding high and free So far over the hill with the family Lighting in a windswept field Where all good things have been revealed I can feel you in the summer rain I know I'll see you again when I catch my train Thunder rolling stationwide Conductors calling all to ride Hush…..Hush….. copyright registered 2015 edward layne philipp

Maple Street 06:14
lyrics
buy track
Maple Street Bright lights in your eyes When you look up to the skies The mystery of who are we Comes as no surprise But is this all for real? Is there still time to kill? The rabbits run as it blocks the sun While the world is standing still So you're driving home all alone The black night chills you to the bone The car swerves on an icy curve As you're reaching for that phone You see the red lights flashing But all the facts are clashing That thing up there with the glassy stare Is not the town police Another race from outer space Listen in to everything we say Their so amused to see us confused And how much time we waste The mothership is landing where the monolith is standing The thunder sound shakes the very ground Like in tales from the ancient days So the years have passed And did you laugh? At the ones who had seen the craft Passed by, left high and dry just another one of the outcast And now you stand in line As they search your mind Hope they've come to live in peace And not to 'serve' mankind copyright registered 2015 edward layne philipp

So Good 03:23
lyrics
buy track
So Good It's five o'clock and the day is done Traffic begins to crawl It's a shame, it's a death defying game Your back's against the wall It's all a mess, with all the stress "Make dollar bills" "take two more pills" All day you run It's not enough When the whip comes down You must get tough I don't want to see the paper It's all the same old news I see you when the day goes wrong And then we turn it loose And you're so good Yes you are You dance so well You are a star So when we're home Leave us alone If the place is rocking Don't bother knocking She just wants to get out tonight It's been so hot downtown The summer nights always feel so right She has become the sound And you're so good Yes you are You dance so well You are a star So let's go home To be alone You say you're aching To do some shaking copyright registered 2015 edward layne philipp

Center Of Attention 03:47
lyrics
buy track
Center of Attention It happens every time You take over the conversation I stand on the side Since I lost my reservation Do you always have to be At the center attention? Only a fool can't see That you think in one dimension You know how to pick your friends It's a system of criteria: "Must be a means to an end" And: "insistent need to always be near you" Some got left outside In the rain at the station They were guilty of some crime That posed a threat to your imagination copyright registered 2015 edward layne philipp

Keep On Rolling 06:09

Keep On Rolling You say I haven’t tried... Put our love back together And all those tears you’ve cried Were for something better I hear the thunder now Feel the rain that's falling I see the open road And for me, it’s calling Got to keep on, keep on Keep on rollin’ I’d always thought this love Would stand up against time One day all that changed When you changed your mind I thought a time would come We'd look back through the years How we'd stood side by side and not how we got here Keep on, keep on Keep on rollin’ Not long ago I knew That tomorrow would bring Good things for me and you And for you, I would sing I know you just can’t see That I am a good man My things are packed to go For the wide open land Keep on, keep on Keep on rollin’ Just like a wheel Got to keep on rollin' Just like a wheel Got to keep on rollin'……….. copyright registered 2015 edward layne philipp

Five Days From Home 06:07

Five Days From Home There is one thing That you should know Take it with you Down every road If you got love then you're never alone Even when you're five days from home Setting sail for the West Coast No more days spent staring Through frozen windows We've stayed together Cause love always wins And yet we're searching For home again Here we go One more time Once again It's time to fly All our dreams Will come true Cheer up darling Don't you be so blue Home to me is wherever you are Keep this always within your heart It doesn't matter how far we roam We are never five days from home Driving on through mountain passes Playing the role That life has cast us You've stood beside me Through fear and pain You helped me stand up And walk again Here we go One more time Once again It's time to fly All our dreams Will come true Cheer up darling Don't you be so blue Waking up to a brighter day And all the kindness Of your ways There ahead Lies the great unknown And thanks to you I won't face it alone Walking on, into the morning See the new sunrise See our new life dawning We've stayed together "Cause love alway wins And now we're back home Once again copyright registered 2015 edward layne philipp

River's End 05:56
lyrics

River's End I've played the captive here So many days untold The mountains call my name Somewhere in my soul Offer all the free air I can breathe From the waves that shine On the deep blue sea……. All I see below Is colored blue and green Nothing scars the view No artificial things You know I've dreamed of Making this my home Under the silver trees Next to the golden road I shall return again This place at the river's end High above where eagles cry Far from the darkened skies up ahead in the forest underneath the trees may be the last chance to live in peace Going to leave an illusion Of money and time Going to trade it in for Life sublime All the rivers end At the deep blue sea They turn to rain again So wild and free Love without end Is all that's worth to find Inside every heart Outside every mind I shall return again This place at the river's end High above where eagles cry Far from the darkened skies Down below in the city Only one thing is clear Just another newsday Selling lies and fear Going to leave the fast race Far behind Going to find a good place On the mountainside copyright registered 2015 edward layne philipp
