I’m alive
do or dive
or it’s all over for me tonight
You and me
soft and free
by the morning light we’ll see
Flashing scenes
on silver screens
of beauty queens in skinny jeans
she said…
Woe is me
Can’t you see?
I’m alone always it seems
she said…
Fair thee well
Hot as hell
The look you gave done rung my bell
Have a seat
Whiskey neat
Keep talking and sweep me off my feet
Philistine
Labyrinthine
I can be so goddamn mean
She said…
Hold me
Give me
All of your lips, openly
I’m the king of no remorse
and I feel it’s getting worse
she said…
Come again?
What’d you say?
I get lost in the way you sway
Brown bags
Skin and bones
Don’t throw stones in my glass homes
she said…
Free me
Be me
You really don’t have to tell me
and I do believe you left me
with my hands all tied in knots
then swam away

To Live To Roam

Long ago I was born
Far away I will die
Of other certains, this is love
Stick a needle in my eye
Won’t someone come and rescue me?
Too much talk of the economy
Great forests they must sometimes burn
And raindrops sometimes fall on me
Pardon me, my love
Can you just turn upside down?
I need you more than light
I was born to live to roam
And whatever you’re ever wearing is my home
Do you think these times are crushing us?
All sharp corners veiled with foam
And you look like New York when you smile
And the truth depends, how heavy was his tongue?
My subconscious lips are taut too young
I wanna be with you for the rest of the while
Pardon me, my love
Can you just turn upside down, and face the other way?
I need you more than light

Bat Your Lips

Bat your lips and purse your eyes
it shouldn’t come as no surprise
that I want in your gaze
to reflect in you always
Disappointing point of view
point at me, I’ll point at you
I’m aiming for your heart
the perfect place to start
Don’t you want to see it all?
our summer sex and then our fall
changing with the leaves
no longer thick as thieves
Time will tell what hell befell
such a caring ne’er do well
I just want you to know
I don’t want you to go
I was a back-talkin’, street-walkin’, latter-day fool
You were lipstick leather jacket, lookin’ saturday cool
I was just another cog in the wheel
Mr. Misfortune, boy, how does it feel?
Well, you know…
Yes, I know…
Share your chi with little ‘ol me
then we’ll awake to find
silence is our way
of watching what we say
It’s already half past two
and I don’t wanna talk to you
yeah, whatever, so?
so many years ago
I was a back-talkin’, street-walkin’, latter-day fool
You were lipstick leather jacket, lookin’ saturday cool
I was just another cog in the wheel
Mr. Misfortune, boy, how does it feel?
Well, you know…
Yes, I know…

So now I let you know
that time is on our side
and there’s no space or place to hide
Sarcastic Mr. Know-Nothing
exposed as such
I know you’re leaving me alone
and it’s okay
So now I let you know
that I am on your trail
so very close to no avail
I do believe, I do believe
that we were meant to be
at least for now
until you’re meant to leave
Sod you all, sod you all, sod you all
Can you dig it?
Something sexual
My so divine, peace of mind, Caroline
Can you dig?
So now she limps to me
and let’s me in her heart
of which I’ve been so far apart
Sarcastic Mr. Know-Nothing
exposed too much
if you give me love…don’t give me love
come on, girl
don’t lie to me
My so divine, peace of mind, Caroline
Can you dig it?
Something sexual
My so divine, piece of mine, Caroline
Can you dig?

Jim From The Moon Los Angeles, California
At times Jim from the Moon plays acoustic tunes about girls, the devil, and similar distractions. They flow in the vein of Loudon Wainwright III and Neil Young, sung with a voice soaked in years of Irish storytelling. Other times he expels far-out electric rock that is primal and space-ward, with heavy, psychedelic sounds. Both sides are focused, catchy, and ready to be eaten by your ears... ... more
