lyrics

Dead Brown Leaves (nuvocoke@gmail.com)

(intro) did you bring the chiva? I've got
the outfit... let's do it right now...

a cool breeze blows the dead brown leaves
as they gather at my feet... with them go
my hopes and dreams, around & around &
around, in endless circles on the ground...

it seems that the dead brown leaves are like
the souls of the ones who went before me...
whirling endlessly, in deathly defeat, they
scatter on the floor forevermore, before me...

standing at a payphone, alone, in the dark,
waiting for the "tricks" that life will play
taking care of business every day, every night
you try to "fix" what's wrong, but the fix is
never right...

smoke comes from the ashes, the ashes turn to dust,
you hang out at the bus stop doing what you must,
sometimes you think it's over and everything's
alright... then you start to feel the urge again,
it happens every night...

dead brown leaves I'm calling to you, my call is
so loud, but too soft to get through, don't you
know the path is hidden from me... lost in a
concrete jungle, I cannot see, I cannot see
through the dead brown leaves, the dead brown leaves...

(close) can we do it again? do we have enough?
let's go get some more...

a cool breeze blows the dead brown leaves
as they gather at my feet... with them go
my hopes and dreams, around & around &
around, in endless circles on the ground...
around & around & around, in endless circles
on the ground... around & around & around, in
endless circles on the ground... around & around
& around, in endless circles on the ground...

oh please, let's do it just one more time...
