The Catcher In The Rye

I. The Darkening
Here we are again,
fading lights sink in our eyes
One by one the stars catch fire,
shivering voices in a choir
over and over again
over and over again
over and over again
II. Chew The Rag
What if I twist and turn away?
Would you just see me off or follow?
What if I sneak into your place?
Would you take me with you or frown your face?
What if I’m the catcher in the rye?
The one who stops the kids from falling
Would you still say that I’m a liar
or would you shut your mouth and vanish?
III. Last Train To Penn Station
instrumental
IV. I Don’t Know
Is it true that life’s a never-ending flow?
...Oh, I don’t know
Icy cold Christmastime, do I feel fine or low?
...Oh, I don’t know
Why these poems in green ink on a baseball glove?
...Oh, I don’t know
And when the pond’s frozen where do the ducks go?
...Oh, I don’t know
Is it true that I like nothing in this world?
...Oh, I don’t know
I do love my own company, but is that all?
...Oh, I don’t know
Why do I happily nod in whatsoever lexicon?
...Oh, I don’t know
I guess it’s foolish, but what I really own
Oh, I don’t know
V. Allie's Theme
instrumental
VI. Even Stars Die
I dreamt of you , Allie, last night
I sat on the bed but I didn’t cry
I smashed the windows instead
and broke the bones in my hands
I slept in the garage the day you died,
didn’t quite feel like saying goodbye
Even stars die - you said,
heaven knows I miss you ginger-head
I dreamt of you, Allie, you know
…was it December? I fail to remember
sure it was cold the day you died,
sure much too soon to say goodbye
sure much too drunk and far from sight,
God wasn’t there to spare your life
Even stars die - you said,
heaven knows I miss you ginger-head
VII. Sweet Relief
Round and round with nowhere to get,
a quicksand zone,
lovesick and trapped
clearly lost and silly
with a bullet in the belly
never the right move,
never the right pace,
never the right word,
never the right face
a bitter grief, a domino eclipse of all stars
never the right move,
never the right pace,
never the right word,
never the right face
a bitter grief, a domino eclipse of all stars
If you could see my little sis you’d like her
she’s only 10 years old yet, she understands
It’s not the movement,
it’s how you do that,
it’s not the mere word,
it’s how you say that
I was looking for the wrong thing
and in the wrong place,
with the wrong kin
and on the wrong trace
Then on a black horse,
I saw her on that joyride
It’s not the same game
the way she plays that,
it’s not the same tune
the way she dance that
a sweet relief,
so deep and swift,
so magical
If you could see my little sis you’d like her
she’s really just a little girl, she understands
It’s not the movement,
it’s how you do that,
it’s not the mere word,
it’s how you say that
I was looking for the wrong thing
and in the wrong place,
with the wrong kin
and on the wrong trace
Then on a black horse,
I saw her on that joyride
It’s not the same game
the way she plays that,
it’s not the same tune
the way she dance that
a sweet relief,
so deep and swift,
so magical
VIII. Fading Lights
Here we are again,
fading lights sink in our eyes
One by one the stars catch fire,
shivering voices in a choir
over and over again
over and over again
over and over again

Is it true that life’s a never-ending flow?...Oh, I don’t know
Icy cold Xtime, do I feel fine or low?...Oh, I don’t know

And when the pond’s frozen where do the ducks go?...Oh, I don’t know
