1. STRANGE MAN

All of my love
And most of my fears
Been comin’ on strong
For most of my
Years add up
And end up in a song

Cellophane tweeds
And revenue streams
Blockin’ my shots
And killin’ my
Dreams that showed me
How to be the cause

It’s the lifetime of a strange man
It’s a longtime for me, I see
She’s wants to belong and
I want to be free
Excommunicated
‘Cause there ain’t no guarantee

All of my friends
And enemies near
Were part of this dance
That put me right
Here we go
So glad I got this chance

Better know plans
And lesser known schemes
Were all about love
And less about
Me, I’d have to say
She wore the pants

It’s the lifetime of a strange man
It’s a longtime for me, I see
She’s wants to belong and
I want to be free
Excommunicated
‘Cause there ain’t no guarantee

It’s the lifetime of a strange man
It’s a longtime for me, I see
She’s wants to belong and
I want to be free
Excommunicated
‘Cause there ain’t no guarantee

It’s the lifetime of a strange man
It’s a long time for me
She wants to be rich
And I want to be free
Keep your plans elastic
‘Cause there ain’t no guarantee


2. LONG PROGRESSION

Smile
When I’m shy in ways
But I love
Everything of first impressions
Sweet successions

Been around for quite a while
I see you kept in versatile
Motivated to combine
Even when it’s bad it’s fine
Did she say something
That made you cry
Have you lost it all
The big fall
Oh so slowly
Comes back holy

Bishop takes a knight
But I will put up quite a fight
Here is your ham on rye
Elementary the chemistry
Means everything to me
The long progression’s why

Set it off to collect knowledge
Quit a job
And go to college
All about the aftershock
Swedish latin super funk
Moses of Manhattan
Made it great
Pain we celebrate
And I love
The long progression

In between the reasons
Are the psychedelic seasons
Simple as your stride
Information intimated
Elegant and integrated
Sweep your floors with pride

Smile
‘Cause it’s all a ride
All supplied
And I love
Everything about this session
And this long progression
