Bed of roses on the floor
Bed of roses
I can see
Everyone has something to hide
Everyone has something to hide
Dead and dreaming of the stars
Dead and dreaming
I can see
Everyone has something to hide
Everyone has something to hide
Bed of roses on the floor
Bed of roses
I can see
Everyone has something to hide
Everyone has something to hide
Everyone has something to hide
Everyone has something to hide

Unchanged
02:19
|

|
The world is going insane
Everything in flames
But I still remain
Unchanged
Unchanged
One last step to take
One more heart to break
Everything you make
Unchanged
Unchanged
When everything is a fucking joke
All you can do is laugh
And if you have a question
Don’t be afraid to ask
I don’t want to see you today
Wish you’d go away
Impossible to stay
Unchanged
Unchanged
Unchanged
Unchanged

I Think I'm In Love
02:35
|

Oh baby the man you’re with
Right now he ain’t no good
And if you’d let me
I can love you like he should
I think I’m in love
I think I’m in love
With a girl I know
She’s so beautiful
I love her
She’s my angel
Oh baby stay with me
I’ll wrap you in my arms
Together here forever
Doesn’t seem that long
I think I’m in love
I think I’m in love
With a girl I know
She’s so beautiful
I love her
She’s my angel
You know I promise
To hold you tight
All through the night
You know I promise
To hold you tight
All through the night and
If you leave me girl
You know that I’ll be blue
‘Cause I don’t care about
Anything on this Earth
Except for you
I think I’m in love
I think I’m in love
With a girl I know
She’s so beautiful
I love her
She’s my angel

That Ol' Magic River
01:58
|
|||
|
I take cover in that magic river
Where the sun is starting now to shine
All these years
I’ve traveled by my lonesome self
When you’re different
The world is so unkind
I found shelter deep in my reflection
Where the smell of roses still remains
I can beat
These demons if I know myself
I can break
The silence of these chains
I walk blind yet have no fears or worries
Ghosts of love are screaming at my door
Oh I wish
That I could mend my broken heart
Or just have you
In my bed once more
Underwater but somehow still breathing
Lay your life into my lungs
Promise me
Just swear before you leave this Earth
That you’ll find a way
To get your song sung
So take cover in that magic river
Where the sun is starting now to shine
All these years
You’ve traveled by your lonesome self
Come with me
And spend a little time

September
O September
Goodbye has come at least
Until we meet again next year
I hope that you had fun
With your mistress in the sun
Until we meet again next year
Don’t let the man get you down
He ain’t nothing but a frown
You’re everything he wishes he could be
When oblivion awaits
Go and meet it at the gates
Strength is just believing in yourself
September
O September
Your words are fading fast
Until we meet again next year
I know that you are blue
But there’s nothing I can do
Until we meet again next year
Young blood is on it’s way out
I’m drinking water in a drought
Perhaps it’s time for a change
Hope you don’t mind another man
I could lend a helping hand
Do you believe me, Mr Blue?
September
O September
The rain has finally come
Until we meet again next year
My hat goes off to you
There ain’t nothing you can’t do
Until we meet again next year
Bluebird sitting on my shoulder
The air’s a boulder getting colder
Late nights, early mornings mmm
When your head begins to spin
Find comfort in a friend
Your best I swear it’s good enough
September
O September
You haunt me like a curse
Until we meet again next year
I swear I’m going to change
Reassess and rearrange
Until we meet again next year

May I Cut In
02:03
|
|||
|
The sun, the stars, and the moon
They can’t compare to you
With arrows in our hearts
May I cut in
They want you for your body
For bragging rights to friends
I want you for your mind
May I cut in
The dance floor
Is full
And there’s forty people in your arms
Please please please
Let me in your heart
Remember when I told you
That you remind me of heaven
I lied
You’re more beautiful
May I cut in
The dance floor
Is full
And there’s forty people in your arms
Please please please
Let me in your heart
And I will never leave you
I swear I’ll be there for you
Forever is never enough
May I cut
In sickness and in health
May I cut in

In the Middle of a Wave
02:20
|
|||
|
Looking through the glass that keeps you in
Soft and gentle breezes from the wind
There is nothing left for you to save
In the middle of a wave
Surfacemen shoot flares into the night
Phone booth operators board your flight
You are getting back what you once gave
In the middle of a wave
Let go of your air so you can fall
See the hungry eyes stare through the wall
Many golden roads for you to pave
In the middle of a wave
Over the horizon and the stars
This is where our journey now will start
There is nothing left for us to save
In the middle of a wave

Come save me
My dying heart’s a-bleeding
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah (yeah)
Yeah (yeah)
Yeah (yeah)
Yeah (yeah)
Oh baby
It’s time for us to live
And maybe we’ve got something to give
Oh, oh, oh
The world is spinning
Above our heads tonight
The world is spinning
Above our heads tonight
Oh
Yeah (yeah)
Yeah (yeah)
Yeah (yeah)
Yeah (yeah)
Oh baby
Here’s a souvenir
Of my love
Please hold it to you dear
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah (yeah)
Yeah (yeah)
Yeah (yeah)
Yeah (yeah)
Yeah (yeah)
Yeah (no)
Yeah (maybe)
Yeah (I don’t know)
Yeah (possibly)
Yeah (could be)

Staring In the Sun
02:49
|

|
Do you really believe
In life
‘Cause I’m not so sure
All the memories
Of times
Passed me by
But I see someone
I never saw before
Staring in the sun
Take a picture now
In time
You will look back
And your memories
Of life
Shine like broken glass
But I see someone
I never saw before
Staring in the sun
And I know I’m not the only one
Living off of dreams
Dreams
I know I’m not the only one
Living off of dreams
Dreams
But I see someone
I never saw before
Staring in the sun
But I see someone
I never saw before
Staring in the sun

You're Just Like Me
02:31
|

I can’t even look in the mirror
It’s getting hard to see myself
The clock is burning
And I can’t stop myself from doing
The little things I shouldn’t do
The clock is burning and I can’t stop
All these feelings that I can’t drop
Nobody wants you when you’re lonely
Nobody wants you when you’re just like me
You’re just like me
You’re just like me
You’re just like me
Oh I wish that you could see
I can’t even open up my curtains
You know I’d rather be alone
The clock is burning
And I can’t stop myself from thinking
It won’t always be this good
The clock is burning and I can’t stop
All these feelings that I can’t drop
Nobody wants you when you’re lonely
Nobody wants you when you’re just like me
You’re just like me
You’re just like me
You’re just like me
Oh I wish that you could see
The clock is burning and I can’t stop
All these feelings that I can’t drop
Nobody wants you when you’re lonely
Nobody wants you when you’re just like me
You’re just like me
You’re just like me
You’re just like me
Oh I wish that you could see

New York City Dream
02:25
|
|||
|
Started out on 72nd Street
I didn’t even know
Where to go
To find a friend
Moving to the center
Of this old town
Taking the subway
Heading down
New York City
I’m dreaming of you tonight
It’s a New York City Dream
The butcher, the baker
And the candlestick maker
I’m snapping pretty pictures
Of sights I’ve never seen
Unicorns fly fast
Through the air
Maybe someday
I’ll come and meet you there
New York City
I’m dreaming of you tonight
It’s a New York City Dream
Which of these trains
Will take me home
I’ve got a few things to finish
Before I roam
Watch me
As I wave goodbye
Everything about me
Is a lie
New York City
I’m dreaming of you tonight
It’s a New York City Dream

Honey, I Have To Go
02:16
|
|||
|
Sometimes I get a feeling
A feeling I can’t understand
A feeling of guilt
That should never be brought on a man
I’m leaving here tomorrow
I’m bound for another road
You know I hate to leave you in sorrow
But honey I have to go
Sometimes I have a vision
A vision I can’t understand
A vision of us together
Holding different hands
I’m leaving here tomorrow
I’m bound for another road
You know I hate to leave you in sorrow
But honey I have to go
Sometimes I get to dreaming
Dreaming about your eyes
Dreaming about your perfect smile
Stay with me tonight
I’m leaving here tomorrow
I’m bound for another road
You know I hate to leave you in sorrow
But honey I have to go
Honey I have to go

Joe Dickinson Chicago, Illinois
Hi, I’m Joe Dickinson.
I'm a DIY singer/songwriter from Chicago,
IL.
It's not easy, balancing the external demands of work/life with the internal demands of creativity, but I'm working toward a set of sustainable internal systems that will allow me to continue to write, record, and release songs. Hopefully for the rest of my life.
I appreciate you taking the time to listen.
