Verse 1: investigating under every rock and crevasse scrutinizing each tree chasing all the bunny trails that I find looking for something new to see Chorus: I'm ready for a new thing I'm ready for the next new thing hope it's not a temporary fling cause I’m ready for the next new thing Verse 2: my hair is gray and thin on the top my eyebrows are sprouting like a weed my knees have given up, they groan and creak time has crept up on me Bridge: while the view from here is a site to see, I think it's getting time for a change of scenery

Verse 1: Ruby red body, fat mag wheels You'd think I paid a fortune, but I got a steal It was an old clunker, but now it's a racer... I drive a Pacer. Verse 2: When I’m drivin’ down the road people stare at me I know they're jealous 'cause of what they see I cut through the traffic like a, a sharpened razor... I drive a Pacer. Verse 3: I listen to some pumpin’ tunes on my 8-track While cruisin' in my double-wide fishbowl Cadillac The sun is shining through as hot as a laser... I drive a Pacer.

Verse 1: Monday morning in my car, on the highway Man, that sun is really bright It’s only Monday but I wish that it was Friday I'm gonna do nothing but sleep tonight Chorus: I got a beautiful headache I got a beautiful headache getting up was a big mistake I got a beautiful headache, ow, ow Verse 2: ibuprofen in my hand, and a glass of water hopefully they'll kick in soon in another half an hour, still a little sweet and sour I think I might be immune Bridge: There’s some consequences makin me feel numb a big boom in my brain like a big bass drum

was contemplating all the chores i needed to do and then it hit me, that's work i have ta do so i made an itty bitty mechanical chum to do my laundry and to clean my room Verse 2: he’s a mechanical marvel all electricity intermediate coding floating in his body but his most amazing feature is his personality he hates to do chores just as much as me Chorus: where's my robot now I think he's hiding again, it's a possibility, oh where's my robot now I think he's hiding, I think he's hiding from me, oh yeah Verse 3: i think he's creeping round the corner, think he's turning off his fan i think he just discovered that he's workin for the Man I think he’s shut down all his boring functionality cause just like me he hates responsibility Bridge: when i go to sleep, is he underneath my bed? will he turn on me and kick me in the head? i can't get any rest, my bot is fillin me with dread if i make him do the vacuuming, i think I might just end up dead

You Shine 02:55
Verse 1: I’m walking along a dead end road It’s my fault I’m here ‘cause I didn’t know where to go shadows creepin round my mind reminding me that I’ll find Chorus: Even in the blackest night Your brightness blinds And even in my darkest hour you shine Verse 2: I don’t believe what’s in my mind it’s outta hand, and it’s wasting all my time I realize I crossed a line can you cut through this and shine? Bridge: when I’m hiding from the light in the blackest night you shine
6.
Eternity 02:43
Verse 1: longer than a highway, winding around wider than a Kansas thunder cloud faster than an airplane, up in the sky with it’s jet engines screamin out Chorus 1: It’s just eternity Verse 2: thinkin ‘bout my rocky history thinkin’ ‘bout my eyes and what they see I think I’m ok, think I’ll be alright but I hope I don’t die tonight Chorus 2: Cause It’s eternity, just eternity feels a bit like fantasy but it’s got a date with me just eternity Bridge: right now it’s so hard to see feels a little far away but I know it’s my destiny
7.
Eraser 02:53
Verse 1: Buildings disappearing all around I see eraser fallout on the ground I wonder what’ll happen to the city where I work I wonder what’ll happen when it’s erased down to the dirt Chorus: It’s the day Kansas City was erased by the hand of God Verse 2: Cars are driving slowly, drivers wear a frown They’re having trouble getting to downtown I wonder what’ll happen to those miserable jerks I wonder what’ll happen when they’re erased down to the dirt Verse 3: Everything is disappearing, fading fast I see a big eraser smudging past I wonder what’ll happen, will it happen to me I wonder what’ll happen, it’s such a mystery
8.
Don't Get It 03:01
Verse 1: hangin out at one a.m. everybody’s havin fun Singin' Bon Jovi karaoke so bad I wanna run Verse 2: They think they're amazing, cool as an arctic breeze but their off-key drunken singing makes me wanna scream Chorus: I don’t get it, I don’t get it I don’t understand what’s really happenin’? I don't get it Verse 3: dude at the dinner table sharing his thoughts on God and morality I look around, and once again I’m in the minority Bridge: everyone is different, everyone can change but I don’t understand why everyone’s insane!
9.
In My Head 02:27
Verse 1: I got a melody on my tongue It's quite oblique, never been sung still a mystery, can't quite see But I'm pretty sure that I'm gonna set it free Chorus: I wanna write the songs in my head I wanna write the songs in my head I wanna write the songs that keep me outta bed at night I wanna write the songs … in my head Verse 2: Harmonies and rhythms skipping in my brain Pounding on the pavement driving me insane Gotta corner those notes and make a melody Open up the floodgates and set them free
10.
Dry Road 04:09
Verse 1: Dusty clouds around my head burn my eyes, and turn them red hot wind blowin in my face pushin me back the way I came Chorus: I’m on a dry road and I really need some rain on a dry road and I really need some rain I think I drifted a bit too far away I’m on a dry road and I really need some rain Verse 2: sand has slowly filled my soul It's weight has started to take a toll I planned to find a shorter way now I’m stuck here today Bridge: God guide me out today How did I get so far away When I really should have stayed God show me the way
11.
Verse 1: My body’s gonna fall apart some day My mind will waste away The house I live in will tumble down My memories will fade like an evaporating cloud Pre-chorus: I know all this is true And I want to be with you… cause Chorus: Everything’s temporary Everything under the sun Everything’s temporary But your love Verse 2: These feelings I have will disappear My hopes, my hurts, my fears There’s nothing I sing that’s gonna stay This guitar I play will turn to dust and float away

about

I release David's Deep Thoughts 2 years ago (you can find it in my Bandcamp account). The mix wasn't the best ... so I decided to remix the entire album and re-release it. I think there's a HUGE improvement - enjoy!
