LYRICS:

Wonders never breathe
And I can’t feel the pressure over me

Oh I’ve
sunk down another league
and still
This faithless crew believes me
They’ve come along in case I find
a desert island
a desert island

There’s no treasure map
No folks that I could ask
down here

The only lights I see
are captains who are passing me
on the way to where they want to be.
They’ll come around the day I find
a desert island

So it only goes to show
that I exist alone
until I find that paradise
and then the story changes

We… did it as a team
I will just agree
because I’d like to stay there
crowded on my desert island

I’m sure to give up hope
if I should raise the periscope.
Oh luck, please find me soon
or I’ll disappoint this whole platoon
They’ve come around in case I find
a desert island

And if we don’t succeed
It all comes down to me
So it only goes to show
that I exist alone
until I find that paradise
and then the story changes

We… did it as a team
I will just agree
because I’d like to stay there
crowded on my desert island

Out there on my desert island
Crowded on the desert island
Out there on a desert island
Crowded on a desert island


Coming Around Soon

Drums: Corey Hobin

LYRICS:

Lately, I'm wishing all too hard
I hope my face won't stay this way
I squint to see the stars and then
I wipe the fog away
Flash myself a smile
I'm counting down the days
til I'm...

Everyone's favorite in this town
All at once the coolest guy around
my time is coming around soon
coming around soon

Progress...where do I begin
I can't make up my mind
These walls are paper thin
and they are keeping me defined
Until I'm

Everyone's favorite in this town
All at once the coolest guy around
Everyone's favorite in this town
All at once the coolest guy around

I just wanna be the best
the sun's gone down
I think my time for thinking
has gone by
Tomorrow I'll know what to do
a psychological break-through
is all I need for

Everyone to love me in this town
All at once the coolest guy around
Everyone's favorite in this town
All at once the coolest guy around
Just wanna be everyone's favorite in this town
All at once is coming around soon
is coming around soon
is coming around

Drums: Corey Hobin

LYRICS:

I take it your happy now
Cuz I haven’t got the call
I guess there’s nothing left for me to fix at all

I take it your happy now
You really must be doing fine
Cuz I haven’t seen your number on this phone of mine

Another job well done
Its time to celebrate!
Who’d a thought that I could please them all
One less thing for me to do means
One more night to hope that you will call
Cuz baby I’m all right

I take it your happy now
Cuz my shoulders awfully dry
Or is someone else’s sleeve saving those tears you cry
I take it your happy now
The truth is I don’t have a clue
I guess its what I’ll tell myself til I hear from you

Another job well done its time to celebrate
Everybody raise your glass to me
I taught her how to laugh again
And open up her eyes for him to see
But baby that’s all right


The credit screen is empty
The ticket has been torn
You couldn’t even tempt me
This storyline is worn

I take your happy (6x)
I take it you’re gone
So long.
I pray that you’re all right.

One last thing for me to do
means one more night to hope that you will call
Baby I’m all right
So don’t call
Cuz baby I’m all right

LYRICS:

You say you’ve got the magic touch
I might believe you do
Is the voodoo that you promise really strong enough
To make me need you to

Come back with me to my place
So you can cast a spell over my pillowcase

Sorceress (4x)

That watch-piece rhythm when you dance
Tends to hypnotize
I’ve never been a lover in this circumstance
Who says magic is lie

Come back with me to my place
We can pull your habit from my pillowcase

I can tell you’re ready looking at your face
Show me all those tricks you do in private space

Sorceress (4x)

Now we’re here
Levitating – nothing left to fear
Now I know all the details you made clear
You are proving so well you’re not a liar
We are pushing through pushing rings of fire

(say you’re going to be my sorceress
tell me that you’re gonna be my sorceress)

You said you have the magic touch and proved it here
Maybe you could make yourself disappear

Sorceress (4x)


Just Another Little Thing
Songwriting: Timothy Daniel (ASCAP)
Electric Guitar: Rob Lauzon
Acoustic Guitar, Vocals: Timothy Daniel
Bass Guitar: Brett Hobin
Drums: Corey Hobin

LYRICS:

I’ve been working on
Being more of a man
I’ve gotta tell ya baby, you’re not part of the plan
I’ve got ambition and
You’ve got it too
But what you’re wishing is too good to be true

That’s just another little thing you do
To try to make me fall in love with you
It’s just another little thing you do
You’re gonna make me fall in love with you

Something’s telling me
your wont play fair
You know I’m bluffing when I tell you that I don’t care
You say you won’t stop
Til’ I’m all yours
I’ve tried running but my feet aren’t touching the floor

That’s just another little thing you do
To try to make me fall in love with you
It’s just another little thing you do
You’re gonna make me fall in love with you

and here’s no room
Distraction’s
breaking through
why cant it wait?

You should go away
And leave me to my own devices
I’m trying to downplay
The way I feel or if I feel at all
You should go away
Your giving me my only crisis
What’s the use… I’m yours

That’s just another little thing you do
To try to make me fall in love with you
Its’s just another little thing you do
I think I’m going to fall in love with you
It’s just another thing you do
All right already I’m in love with you
Please not another thing you do
You’ll make it harder to get over you


California
Songwriting: Timothy Daniel (ASCAP)
Acoustic Guitar, Vocals, Programming: Timothy Daniel
Bass Guitar: Brett Hobin

LYRICS:

We packed up our cars with twenty odd years;
said goodbye to the people we love

We drove and we drove
and we stopped with the roads
in California

With our paychecks and ties,
we thought we had it made.
We smiled at blue skies
From our desks in the shade

Friends on our own
We had made it our home

California

Two year of windowed complacency
Makes an eye need a new change in scenery
I guess I just found a new place to be…

California

Now and again I see you online
The distance is wires
And three hours time

You stuck to your dreams
And I followed mine
from California

California
