JT
words and music by steve meko
Broken, stoned, and lonesome..he was
Trapped in New Orleans
Just a shell remained from what they'd
Thought he might have been
Sharkskin Suit and Glasses...'58 Les Paul
Midnight...It's on a Max's
We came to watch the fall
chorus:
No matter how he tried his past was just a step behind him
No matter where he'd hide, he could not avoid himself
As fast as he'd ride he could not outrun those appetites
Eventually we knew he was going to destroy himself.
Seventy-two at Mercer, Too young to own the town
Too Soon to see the pitfalls, too fast to slow it down
Then in came trash.. Junk and Filthy Rooms
Bright Lights, Dirty Spoons - They swallowed him down
repeat chorus
Spiraling Down, Johnny Left Town
It Swallowed him down, Johnny left town for good
repeat chorus

True Rumor
words and msuic by tom wright
There's a true rumor goin' around, rumors flyin' all over town
What you hear isn't clear, twisted premise is sounding queer
Allegations coming on strong
Don't know if they're right or wrong, Can't tell if it's weak or too strong
Distortion changes everything, another take on what you said
The storyline has been turned around.
I can't believe what you said and I heard
Spin what you want, it's so absurd
I ain't got time for all of these lies, There is no patsy, no alibis
I said it all, big and small - short and tall
You do as you please, you flirt and tease
Just don't believe what you see
So sick of what I hear, when it's so damn insincere
Your honor went out the door, justice went just before
Integrity is way long gone
Believe what you want to hear, the facts are what you fear
God forbid you accept the truth, all the logic has been removed
Changed by Tall Tales
I hear it all from the long and the tall, to the short and the tall
It's all words that is all
Say what you will, spin it around with your skills
Do with it what you will, it's the truth that you kill
Paint up the town, get your story all around
Make 'em happy, make 'em sad, make 'em smile and make 'em glad
Confuse and deceive with the words that will please
Something we hold dear, something we will hold dear
Tell us what to trust, it's a goal - it's a must
Twist 'round for some greed, until you get what you need

Imperfect Circle
words and music by steve meko
That little house with its lights shut
Untended garden, lawns uncut
chorus
One day the curtain dropped, they swore that they'd surrender
Cold war had gone on for as long as they'd remember, I see....
High hopes sent falling to the ground
Imperfect Circle promises to tear both of them down.
They'd smile and wave, betray no signs
For sale on posterboard that's planted along the battle lines, because..
repeat chorus
No maps or compass for the lost
They navigate away alone, it's such a bitter loss, because...
repeat chorus twice
