Came out to my show tonight
And brought your brand-new lover
Playin' nice and cool, you know
Not tryin' to blow your cover
You're clean as a whistle
But that don't make you fine
You think any game's a good one
Long as the trains run on time
Standing in the front row
Makin' sure that I could see
Pointin' at the set list
Sayin', "That one's about me."
Yeah, you're clean as a whistle
But that don't make you fine
You think any game's a good one
Long as the trains run on time
Some days you was red
And some days you was black
Some days you was Johnny
And some days you was Jack
Took the tickets at the door
In your conductor's hat
Told your buddies at the bar
"I had me some of that"
And now you're clean as a whistle
But that don't make you fine
You think any game's a good one
Long as the trains run on time
You're clean as a whistle
But that don't make you fine
You think any game's a good one
Long as the trains run on time

Acres of hopeless spin out from the city
The traffic lights don't work to blink
Three generations of lead poison crazy
Too undernourished to think
Armchair messiahs
Too scared to drive through here
Somebody's got some
Explaining to do here
(Oh how they burn) Who put the stars in my eyes?
(Oh how they burn) Who put the stars in my eyes?
(Oh how they burn) How they burn
Don't sweat the grand, 'cause they lie on the stand
And it's only your word against his
Serving, protecting, extortion collecting
But try calling that what it is
Safe in a system
That pays by the hour
Who's gonna miss some
Abuses of power?
(Oh how they burn) Who put the stars in my eyes?
(Oh how they burn) Who put the stars in my eyes?
(Oh how they burn) How they burn
Out on the town tonight cursing my name
Or home alone wondering why
Searching in vain for a shoulder to blame
And hoping that you're not the guy
Losing to win
The survivors prevail
Here in the world
Of constructive betrayal
(Oh how they burn) You put the stars in my eyes
(Oh how they burn) You put the stars in my eyes
(Oh how they burn) How they burn

Lemonade (LIVE)

I've had a bumper crop of lemons in my life
I've had a hurricane of citrus-flavored strife
But I got a half an hour, and a juicer, and a carving knife
I've seen the future and it looks like Lemonade
Yes, I've seen the future and it looks like Lemonade
Mix an ocean of a potion, make you wish you never stayed
I'm gonna sugar-coat the sour things I say
I'm gonna water down my wicked, worldly way
I'm gonna sell it by the roadside every sunny Summer day
I've seen the future and it looks like Lemonade
Yes, I've seen the future and it looks like Lemonade
Mix an ocean of a potion, make you wish you never stayed

Val Yumm

When this came out in 2003 I played the CD 'til it BROKE. Smart, catchy, beautifully rendered alt-rock goodness. Singer/songwriter/guitarist Val Yumm made me feel seen AND rocked my socks off.
