lyrics

Oh sing out!

Broken and lonely, the crowds are not enough
camped out and blacked out, so tired of calling your bluff
his preaching and drinking never did a bit of good
never liked being told what he shouldn’t or should.
struck down in young manhood, setting the tone
the fear of scarcity and of being alone
pressured and tempted and fed to the lambs
crafted and planted, with a list of demands in his hand

Oh sing out!

how can i reconcile the devil inside?
with the light and the pretense, with out breaking my stride
I’ve never held out my tin cup, I’ll never drop to my knees
I'm only holding onto kisses ... and letting go of belief

reach out, i’m your neighborhood sinner.
(oh, sing out!)
freak out, no, i’m not some beginner
(oh, sing out!)
reach out, i’m your neighborhood sinner.
(oh, sing out!)
freak out, know, i’m not some beginner
(oh, sing out!)

light up your window, stand there, wait for me
the sign placed above you , says you aren't for free
but temptation and patience hardly ever agree
and the price of admittance... is hollow and fleeting and cheap..... fleeting and cheap, fleeting and cheap

(oh sing out!)
reach out, i’m your neighborhood sinner.
(oh, sing out!)
freak out, no, i’m not some beginner
(oh, sing out!)
reach out, i’m your neighborhood sinner.
(oh, sing out!)
freak out, know, i’m not some beginner
(oh, sing out!)

The Way We Were in 1989 image

The Way We Were in 1989 Seattle, Washington

"... the sort of music that might be best appreciated in a Parisian coffeehouse for American ex-pats...stream-of- consciousness, observational fare. Existential, from both a musical and lyrical standpoint….The sort of twisty, understated album that probably would drive most folks mad. Find some patience, however, and you ought to find something wonderful..." www.aidabet.com ... more
