brad@140-seconds.com — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 22:43:04 -0400

it's true, so true that I'm down and I'm wondering how how I got to now how I got to know how it feels to drown and what I have to go through to feel like you do you know, you know how hard I've tried but you're curious why why my hands are tied why my eyes are wide why I can't decide who is on my side and why I can't define what this is

brad@140-seconds.com — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 22:04:15 -0500

Well, here we ago, once again another year of shit hitting the fan Spilled the sundae and dropped the pan tripped on the root and split open the hand Reached for the gold, settled for green pumped the stomach and found only caffeine Such a fine time to wait in line! Make your wish, don't let it fade guesstimation is a science now, they say Keep the faith in what you read if you get off on watching markets bleed 'cause cycles come and cycles go and every loudmouth wants to let you know... that it's a fine time to wait in line such a fine time to wait in line! (lyrics written by Pat Wescott)

15 Cease Fire

brad@140-seconds.com — Wed, 06 May 2009 19:49:43 -0400

(lyrics by Pat Wescott) It'd been a long time since you'd seen the setting sun seemed liked the sky was gray for days and I guess that's why you slowly came undone you couldn't shake that humid haze Let's hope calmer heads prevail seems like there's a hurricane that's coming down this trail Next time I saw you, you'd lost that wicked smile the one that'd used to charm for days Those hollow eyes had lost that friendly fire I hate to see it fade away You're slowly falling out of tune and you're singing songs that keep you locked inside your room Your friends keep ringing at your door but you can't hear the laughter coming through the floor The rain is leaking through your ceiling and you haven't even tried to catch a drop everyone wonders what you're feeling but you already sold it without a thought Let's hope calmer heads prevail seems like there's a hurricane that's coming down this trail and I wish that you'd call me a liar before you have to cease fire

11 Pushing The Cart

brad@140-seconds.com — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 22:28:27 -0400

(Lyrics by Jeff Sawyer) pushing the cart you're sweet when you push the cart in the parking lot. you knock on the door with your fishing pole; you came by to say hello again. you nice man. you nice friend. they cleaned out the major highway; the main thorofare. they cleaned it down. they took away the cars blocking there. so wait. wait by the corner. just wait for the corner time again. i'm there. i'm standing on the corner. i'm there. i'm in the parking lot. i'm pushing the cart.
