I'm in the dog house again
Feeding my incantations
All of my trials and tribulations
Bleed into my food
Is it my ego again?
As big as the sky is blue
The melody always plays
inside my head of you
Oh my love runs down like a river from all the great stories
But you take the glory, yes you take the glory
Lay me down in a bed
Of confusion, disorientation
I'm taking my heart away now
And locking it up
It's like the endless dripping
From a dirty motel ceiling
The bucket is overflowing
But we watch T.V.
Oh my love runs down like a river from all the great stories
But you take the glory, yes you take the glory
Ohhhs
Will you love me till the end till the end till the end of time?
We can talk about it, we can talk about it

Don't Drift Away

You've been on my mind
I've been livin' blind
But please stay, baby stay
Love can be unkind
With the devil on your mind
But I'll stay, yes I'll stay
And it's not the only way
Check it one more time
My body's here but not my mind
It's not ok, it's not ok
Turn the pages down
If I'm not here, destroy my crown
The only way, the only way
I'll hear from them when I damn well please
They're not the keepers of time, can't grow the grass and the trees
It's a long slow burn when you look at me
And I feel myself sinking down to my knees
You've been on my mind
I've been livin' blind
But please stay, baby stay
Don't drift away

Mighty hand

It's bittersweet that we've come to the end
You held my heart and you took my hand
You took my feet across the burning sand
It's bittersweet that we've come to the end
I came to you when I was young
A hurting soul and a sharp tongue
I struggled through my everyday
But you held my heart and you showed me the way
So here I stand against the wind
These roots run deeper than I planned
Feel impermanence the Mighty Hand
These roots run deeper than I planned
An empty bowl is not bad luck
If you open your heart it'll fill right up
The broken parts will fill with gold
Go and live your life, stand up, be bold
So here I stand against the wind
These roots run deeper than I planned
Feel impermanence the Mighty Hand
These roots run deeper than I planned
Go into the world and spread your light
Help those souls through their darkest night
I'll always keep you in my heart
See you in the skies and in all the stars
So here I stand against the wind
These roots run deeper than I planned
Feel impermanence the Mighty Hand
These roots run deeper than I planned

She's a sovereign body
Never mind what you think
What is left on the windows
Can drain her soul down the sink
When she wakes up tomorrow
Before her feet hit the floor
Don't be surprised if she's anxious
To close that goddamn lonely door
What is this all telling her, telling me?
What is this all telling her, telling me?
Well she stepped on the sidewalk
Melted right in her place
She'd grown tired of the small talk
Running into the rat race
What is this all telling her, telling me?
What is this all telling her, telling me?
She's never been alone a day in her life
Everybody's watching her, everybody's watching her
She'll go about her day in the greediest of worlds
She's got nothing left to say, she's got nothing left to say
And when she meets her end what will she leave behind?
All the things she couldn't take, all the things she couldn't take

Fire

Fire, oh fire
Sing it loud so I can hear
Rock and roll it is my song
Helps me steer my heart along
Covered train to anywhere
Stars above just stop and stare
Fire in the baby's breath
Fire in the belly of your eyes
Fire in the tallest tales
Fire in the deepest swells
Rock and roll it is my song
Helps me steer my heart along
Fire, oh fire
Sing it loud so I can hear

American Dream

He told me he couldn't call this in
It was just a little ding
He got down and he begged for me
To pay in cash and forget the whole thing
On your knees for the American dream
On your knees for the American dream
On your knees for the American dream
On your knees
She walked into that dusty old dive
Pushed herself onto the stage
She breathed in all the love and hate
Cause she wasn't what they all liked
On your knees for the American dream
On your knees for the American dream
On your knees for the American dream
On your knees
He was just down the corner street
When he stopped in for a fix
He swore this was the last damn time
But we never saw him again
On your knees for the American dream
On your knees for the American dream
On your knees for the American dream
On your knees
She broke the record for caring so much
Lived her life for you and I
She put the poison in her veins
To see the world one more night
On your knees for the American Dream
On your knees for the American Dream
On your knees for the American Dream
On your knees

Let It Rain
05:04

She parted the seas they crashed down and I was alone
I was alone
She asked for me to let it bleed let it go
Let it go
She'll dance in stars she'll shine brightly under the scars
Under the scars
She'll travel through space twists along in the galaxy race
Galaxy race
Ohhh let it rain
Ohh let it rain
Ohhh let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain
A speck is all we are to be so small can be so hard
Be so hard
Blow desert wind turn the earth over again
Over again
She's the ghost you see when you listen to tales not for thee
Not for thee
She's mining your heart digging for who you really are
Really are
Ohhh let it rain
Ohhh let it rain
Ohhh let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain

Take me to the ocean
Hide me in your undertow
Show me what I'm wanting
Break the rules and let it go
Ohhh I want it but I'm not supposed to
Take me to the flowers
Let it blossom let it grow
Heart is in a blender
Turn it on watch me explode
Ohhh I want it but I'm not supposed to
Tuck me in a blanket
Full of you and full of scars
Body is a canvas
Paint a story with your arms
Ohhh I want it but I'm not supposed to
All these rules
All these rules
All these rules are making me crazy
Take me over take me under
Twist the sheets and let me know
Love is in our corner
Love is what I'm feeling baby
Ohhh I want it but I'm not supposed to

Swim In The Stars

I met you a long time ago
You sang to me but I didn't know
That you'd be the one that I'd love forever
I miss you honey but I'll see you again
Let's swim in the stars
Follow the lightening
You'll give me the moon
We'll have one more night dear
I'm telling you, you've been gone for a while
It's been 152 days since I last smiled
And I prayed for rain and I prayed for a tear
But they never came, no they've dried up my dear
Let's swim in the stars
Follow the lightening
You'll give me the moon
We'll have one more night dear
Ohhh swim in the stars
Ohhh swim in the stars
Ohhh swim in the stars
Ohhh swim in the stars
Our life together was one wild ride
For 68 years I had you by my side
Never Bonnie and Clyde more like Johnny and June
I still sing to you a sweet dream lullaby tune
Let's swim in the stars
Follow the lightening
You'll give me the moon
We'll have one more night dear
Let's swim in the stars
Follow the lightening
I'll give you the moon
Then I'll say goodnight dear

I Am The Space

I hang on their words
Hang on their lies
Hang on their obstacles
Hang on their breath
Hang on illusion
Hang on their death
The flowers are dead
My mind is in bloom
My body is infinite
To hold is to die
A little inside
Don't put out my light just yet
I am the space I am the love I am the pure divine
I am the space I am awareness and I won't fall in line
Believe what you will
Believe what I must
So I can draw the line
I am not worthy
I am so worthy
I'm not enough
I deserve love
From little old me
What are you waiting for?
The pot called me black
But I'm not the kettle
I am the tea
I am the space I am the love I am the pure divine
I am the space I am awareness and I won't fall in line

Breathe For Me

Friend
Friend steal time
Friend
Are you yours or are you mine?
Black
It's looking dark in there
Attack
Right through my tender heart
Breathe for me
Breathe for me again
Breathe for me
I guess you were my friend
Control
That's all you ever do
I wish I could say
I never needed you
It's me
Who's always in the wrong
Your a curse
That's why I'm writing you this song
Drop a quarter in the wishing well
If it came true I can't tell
You're still here and I'm still stuck in my glass house
Breathe for me
Breathe for me again
Breathe for me
I guess you were my friend

The Ordinary Things Albuquerque, New Mexico
The Ordinary Things is an indie rock trio from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Creamy vocals layer over edgy guitar riffs and unique bass lines. The band's name was inspired by the concept of wabi-sabi, the acceptance of transience and imperfection. Our music aims to capture this concept and all of the ordinary, but beautiful things experienced in day-to-day life. ... more
