Penny Your Eyes

http://tommyvonmusic.bandcamp.com/track/penny-your-eyes























Her knee caps were scruffy and tattered her dress 
But she was too busy to notice the rest 
To notice the dirt that clung to here soul 
Like a monkey on a music box - no brains or control 
She's fetching a cold now 'cause they won't take her in 
And the heart that she mended is tearing again 
Tearing apart like a web in the wind 
And she's like to let you know of it, but where to begin? 
And if her deep demons you can't exorcise 
Young child be wise and penny your eyes 
Well the tale that she fashions is frightful and dark 
But the bite of her living is worse than her bark 
It's wonder and worry and sleep in between 
And if it all works out right you might come out clean 
And if her deep demons you can't exorcise 
Young child be wise and penny your eyes 
Well she made you an offer you just can't refuse 
Some bread for your coffer and wine you could use 
She won't preach salvation or redemption from sin 
Just look in here weary eyes to know where she's been 
And if her deep demons you can't exorcise 
Young child be wise and penny your eyes 
And if your deep demons you can't exorcise 
Young child be wise and penny your eyes

Killing the Mime

https://tommyvonmusic.bandcamp.com/track/killing-the-mime





















You awake and lime green laughter sips you
Children take the advice they often give you
Stand in place for medications we will issue
I was downing a coffee in an old town cafe
There was nothing to give me a sign of the time of the day
When the waiter said "look here - you'll have to settle the bill"
And his shadow as he spoke to me crept down the street
I said "well this must be Compton or a place as equally cold"
Then a scene from Dante began to unfold
Hot hot - you better call out the ice man
Cool down baby - we are we are we are we are American
Can't you feel it down in your soul?
Nursery rhymes and delicate crimes
Form a line - we're killing the mime
Well, did you think that the pinnacle of your success
Would lead you to places of wonder?
And who did you figure would clean up this mess
After you were six feet under?
Well mister McKinney down in his shop is
Shaking his head for your soul
And he wouldn't give a Guinea to be in your shoes
And suffer your loss of control
As you slip out of the fold
As you slip out of control
Out of control

Cosmic Sunrise (LP version)

http://tommyvon.bandcamp.com/track/cosmic-sunrise-lp-version





















There are thirteen signs to go by 
Thirteen signs to know by 
When the sun begins to rise in the dark rift 
Be aware you serpent bearer 
Beware the constant starer 
When the sun begins to rise in the dark rift 
In the dark rift, in the dark rift 
When the sun begins to rise in the dark rift 
History’s illusion, the masters cause confusion 
When the sun begins to rise in the dark rift 
13 thousand heart aches, the time at which the clock breaks 
When the sun begins to rise in the dark rift 
In the dark rift, in the dark rift 
When the sun begins to rise in the dark rift 
That’s why I’m so Sirius - the dog star 
Super heavy Sirius B 
That’s why I’m so Sirius - the dog star 
Super heavy Sirius B 
That’s why I’m so, That’s why I’m so 
That’s why I’m so Sirius - the dog star 
Super heavy Sirius B 
When the sun begins to rise 
When the sun begins to rise in the dark 
When the sun begins to rise in the dark rift 
That’s why I’m so Sirius
