I like work and I like people
I like waking up on Sundays
My parents, cultured people
They taught me how to read between the lines
And the paint
Afternoons in the bookstore
Building worlds inside my mind
Tear 'em down and build another
By flashlight under covers
The power's out and we've got time
So let me work in your bookstore this year
I wanna pass down all I've learned unto my younger peers
Ooh ooh ooh

Sunday Follies
04:42
|
|||
|
I'm on a sugar bend
For my third night in
My new home
Little Alamo, a better fitting skin
I've got a window show
And an afterglow
All night long
Bamboo shadow song, treehouse temple wind
It's just my age
I'm writing off the page
And losing money
Somewhere in the race
I must've found the way
To Heaven
I know
That everything you're waiting for
Will come and go
And on
(Strange laughing moon)
They go
(Angel clowns in the room)
And on
(Strange laughing)
Under the sky parade
And my yesterdays
You say low
"Love you tomorrow, love you 'til Tuesday"
I'm always late
Projecting love and hate
When God is calling
And she kneels to say
"I've got another day
Where Sunday Follies
Can go
And live between the marble arch and gazebo"
And on
(Strange laughing moon)
They go
(Angel clowns in the room)
And on
(Strange laughing)
(Strange laughing
Strange laughing
Strange laughing moon)

U Look Like a Princess
04:29
|
|||
|
The harmony is broken
The fire has cried
The windows are all shattered
With families inside
I'm clinging to the patterns
Just to stay alive
But U
Look
Like a Princess
Like an Angel
I'm a baby
A ferris wheel is spinnin'
Seasons of dismay
Not everyone will make it
To see another day
But together we can take it
And U will hear me say
U
Look
Like a Princess
Like an Angel
I'm a baby
Take it Charlie
A feather came and told me
How this story ends
The last page is the only
Place our love begins
So waltz me where the holy
River lets us in
Cos U
Look
Like a Princess
Like an Angel
I'm a baby

Long Way Down
03:17
|
|||
|
Hit the street
You got a mind for roller coasters
Melodies
From other times are in the open
And it's open
Harmony
You got a mind for ceremony
Destiny
You left the wine out in the study
It's a long way
It's a long way down
It's a long way down
'Til your heart is open
And you hit the ground
You get in trouble sometimes
Your heart goes blind
You'll never know the ocean
'Til you get in trouble sometimes
And your heart goes blind
It's a long way down, uh huh uh
Tumbleweeds
Rollin' on radio survival
Architects
Never knew how their horse would travel
It's a long way
It's a long way down
It's a long way down
'Til your heart is open
And you hit the ground
You get in trouble sometimes
Your heart goes blind
You'll never know the ocean
'Til you get in trouble sometimes
And your heart goes blind
It's a long way down, uh huh uh

Behind your worries
Between your eyes
Inside of everything
There is to find
Lies an answer
You've always known
Lost in the Million Moon
A million years ago
A million years ago
A million eyes
Looked at one soul
And multiplied
And thru the fire
A radio
Lost in the Million Moon
A million years ago
Hang in Heaven
Where it all begins
Do you wanna get married
In the snow again?
Do you remember
What we've always been?
I've said it before, but now I will say it again
A million years ago
A million eyes
Looked at one soul
And multiplied
And thru the fire
A radio
Lost in the Million Moon
A million years ago
And now the sky rail's riding
Around a city of blue
As I keep waiting on and on for you
And I'll be wasting my time
Breaking the clouds of my mind
Another million years I don't have you
Another story
Another sky
Another glory
To be glorified
A million years ago
A million eyes
Looked at one soul
And multiplied
And thru the fire
A radio
Lost in the Million Moon
A million years ago

Blue Moon
Look what you did
It's too soon
I'm just a kid, moon
You're not a trick, moon
Look what you did
Look what you did
La, da da
Many moons ago, Penny Mucho and me stood together in the line
Many moons ago, Penny Mucho and me stood together in the line

Greenhouse Toybox
04:59
|
|||
|
A monkey on a ferris wheel
Pink all purpose flour
Tigers looking for lemongrass
And a choir every hour
I can't get back there
The House is in flames tonight
Holy motors bustling
A junkyard full of cars
Engines often hustled, but
They don't lose their charm
They sing at night
Songs for an empty park
The Greenhouse is gone
You ain't getting it back
Look around
This family is love
Memory spills down the Matriarch's back
Like blood
Cookie monster crumbling
A thousand cookie jars
Eleven cousins circling
Rollie Pollies in the yard
They can't get back there
The House is in flames tonight
The Greenhouse is gone
You ain't getting it back
Look around
This family is love
Memory spills down the Matriarch's back
Like blood

Havaduvaday

It's alive and tells me to say
Havaduvaday
Havaduvaday
In armored eyes, they say
Havaduvaday
Havaduvaday
In Heaven's sky, they say
Havaduvaday
Havaduvaday
In dusty eyes, they say
Havaduvaday
Havaduvaday
Bathing hands
And willow pies
Havaduvacry
Franklin, Anne and Jimmy died
Havaduvacry
In Heaven's eyes, they say
Havaduvaday
Havaduvaday
In armored cries, they say
Havaduvaday
Havaduvaday

Nick Walton Houston, Texas
Hey! My name is Nick Walton and I'm a singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer born and raised in Houston, Texas. Shifting between working alone and with a full band, my records are a little all over the place, but they've always got hooks, they sometimes rock, and they rarely take themselves too seriously. As the masters say, "Don't bore us, get to the chorus!" ... more
