Sitting at a Red Light Kent Agee There’s a laughing girl behind the wheel in my peripheral vision The radio is dancing through her hair There’s a black man on the corner yelling like he’s on a mission With his head back and his arms up in the air The lights crawl through their cycles, everybody talks to no-one And the anger’s barely sleeping in their hands All this movement sitting still would surely stop if looks could kill The light is green, I think she’s seen me, here’s my chance Hey you, in the rusted out Nova with “just do it” stuck on the glass Hey I think that maybe I know ya but its hard to tell, cause everything’s changing so fast There’s a rattle in the trunk and there’s a trash-truck up ahead And I’m not really sure how I got here at all I can remember getting in, I turned the key and took a left It’s automatic now, I just hold on and fall Her car’s another kind of blue, it prob’ly isn’t safe to drive But everybody knows there are no accidents It’s way to warm for late October, I think she’s pulling over Maybe this is where the trip starts making sense (chorus) there’s a face in every back seat there’s a wasp on every dashboard Let me out, let me in, let me out let me in There’s no street just intersections, the illusion of connections There you are, here I am, where’ve you been... (chorus)

Tear Gas (You’re Like Mine) Kent Agee You’re like tear gas, every time you fall somebody cries You’re like night-court, full of wicked thoughts and alibis You’re like gold dust, you glitter for a while and then blow away You’re like a pop song, I can’t believe a pretty thing you say But you’re like something else That I let fool me every time When you’re sleeping next to me at night…. You’re like mine, if I close my eyes You’re like mine, if I change your mind You’re like mine, if I live with lies You’re like mine, if I turn back time You’re like an Earthquake, when you’re shakin’ there’s nowhere to hide You’re like a mobile home, I never know what’s going on inside We both see what’s coming You’ll be leaving me behind But for now when I turn out the light…. You’re like mine, if I close my eyes You’re like mine, if I change your mind You’re like mine, if I live with lies You’re like mine, if I turn back time Someone’s getting hurt, and someone’s gonna be just fine Who is who, well I think we both know So I just tell myself that love’s imperfect by design And make believe we’ve got it ’til it goes You’re like moonlight, the darker that it gets the more you shine You’re like everything, and I keep pretending You’re like mine, if I close my eyes You’re like mine, if I change your mind You’re like mine, if I live with lies You’re like mine, if I turn back time

The Meteorite Kent Agee She can’t complain, her life’s too beautiful for that Her home’s too big, her closet’s full, her bank account is way too fat Her husband’s cute, and all he touches turns to gold Except his heart, except her hand, except a world grown too cold She wonders how she got so far away Wasn’t there a time just yesterday she was at the Black Crows concert singing Didn’t give a damn then who could hear happy just to be alive and now Staring at the empty too-blue sky, feeling like her face might crack and thinking Maybe this will be her lucky night and God will send a meteorite The light is green, has she been sitting here too long It might have changed, she isn’t sure, is someone shoutin, what’s gone wrong Her hands won’t drive, she thinks of biting through the wheel Or through her arm, or through this smile, how would it taste how would it feel All she wants to do is drive away Wasn’t there a time just yesterday she was at the Coldplay concert singing Didn’t give a damn then who could hear happy just to be alive and now Staring at the empty too-blue sky, feeling like her face might crack and thinking Maybe this will be her lucky night and God will send a meteorite Just one innocent disaster, one brilliant ball of flame Out of her control, no-one has to know Just erase and start again Wasn’t there a time just yesterday she was at the White Stripes concert singing Didn’t give a damn then who could hear happy just to be alive and now Staring at the empty too-blue sky, feeling like her face might crack and thinking Maybe this will be her lucky night and God will send a meteorite

Too Late To Leave Her Alone Kent Agee/Ben Glover She wears the Sun in her hair when it’s raining She wears the rain like some women wear pearls When she smiles my hands shake, when she laughs hearts will break But she cries like the end of the world She says I’m a fool to believe her When she whispers she loves me at night But when she’s in my bed, there’s a voice in my head That says “people don’t change ...but she might” She’s got a wild streak that shines in the moonlight Got some high cards I know she ain’t shown And if there’s scars I can’t see...well that’s alright with me It’s too late to leave her alone it’s too late to leave her alone I know she don’t want to be needed She just needs to be wanted so bad She swears I’ll get hurt, truth is I’m using her Cause she gives me what I’ve never had She gives me that light in the distance She gives me a place to be strong And if I give her just two hands she can trust Tell me how that can be wrong She’s got a wild streak that shines in the moonlight Got some high cards I know she ain’t shown And if there’s scars I can’t see...well that’s alright with me It’s too late to leave her alone it’s too late to leave her alone

Disintegrate 03:59
Disintegrate Kent Agee Fall apart if you want to and I’ll pick you up piece by piece I’ll get down on my hands and knees and put you back together Go on and leave if you’re going to but I’ll tear the dark out of the sky I’ll use the Moon’s unblinking eye to reach you...so you better… Disappear without a trace, into the air, disintegrate Change the past and then erase my mind too Run out tonight, it’s not enough, do anything you’re thinking of But if you leave a breath of love behind you I can close my eyes and find you Tell me that you don’t need me and I’ll shine the truth into your soul I’ll hold you and I won’t let go until the night surrenders Rip my heart out completely or I’ll whisper through these bleeding lips I’ll make you want just one more kiss forever…so you better... Disappear without a trace, into the air, disintegrate Change the past and then erase my mind too Run out tonight, it’s not enough, do anything you’re thinking of But if you leave a breath of love behind you I can close my eyes and find you

I’ve Been There Kent Agee She’s riding down lover’s lane the wrong way Singing Sgt. Pepper’s while Sinatra plays Looking in her rearview, messing with her hair She’s holding hands with a man she doesn’t know She tries to tell herself it’s love but it’s not so If you’re cold enough it doesn’t matter what you wear But oh the lights look pretty as you’re flying by From so very high I’ve been there, broken blue, anything to hang on to Who needs right, real will do when you’re floating in thin air I’ve been there, so far gone, giving up is holding on Hoping Chance will have some change to spare I’ve been there Another morning sneaking through the curtain crack Another mirror asking who is looking back Wondering if you’re waking from another sad affair Trying to read the future in a coffee cup Checking if your ringtone’s loud enough Wishing they would call or that you didn’t care The world ends at 10:30 but another face Will take it’s place I’ve been there, broken blue, anything to hang on to Who needs right, real will do when you’re floating in thin air I’ve been there, so far gone, giving up is holding on Hoping Chance will have some change to spare I’ve been there You laugh in ultra-violet though you’ve seen it all before Dancing madly backwards toward an accidental door The World seems well rehearsed but no-one gave a script to you And hurting is so easy when there’s nothing else to do I’ve been there, too far down, looking up to see the ground in my head the siren sound of dreams too big to dare I’ve been there, broken blue held together just like you Looking for an answer anywhere Hoping Chance will have some change to spare I’ve been there
