Tinted Eyes

Music/Lyrics by David Hull (BMI)

 

Song available on Itunes, Rhapsody, Napster & CD Baby

 

I'm sorry I was staring

I swear, there's nothing wrong

I was just wondering

what could be happening beyond,

Energizer batteries

and a blood pump make you go

But your heart is saying something

in a language I don't know,

 

Could it be "How's my makeup"?

Could it be "Wish you were mine",

Could it be "Thanks but no thanks,

I've got something better on my mind"?

 

Your sign language is failing

What can I say I tried,

But your Rosetta Stone is in those lips

now, please do confide

I don't want the world

I just want to know

What's behind those Tinted Eyes?

 

Finally I'm ready

to make the jump into you,

Will you be a safety net

or the cause for black and blue?

I'm asking for a kiss

and for you to show me your mind

Pictures can say a thousand words

but not when I am blind

 

Could it be "How's my makeup"?

Could it be "Wish you were mine"?

Could it be "Thanks but no thanks

I've got something better on my mind"?

Could it be "How is Wall Street"?

Could it be "I'm a Monet"

Could it be "You're a drawing

that Picasso did when he was 3"?

We'll Turn the Red Water Blue

I like walking down the street

Smart famous people I will meet

to tell me who they need to beat

by popular demand

I like washing my hands clean

Book of matches, Gasoline

Always heard but never seen

Rowing upstream

 

I like drawing in the lines

Party favors all the time

Favorite tree to hug is pine

It smells so nice

Bumper stickers, Cardboard signs

Old men that are past their prime

Red balloons, there are 99

ways to skin a man alive

 

I'll let my pet elephant play in your yard

and we'll see just who's the smarter of the two

I'll let my pet donkey swim in your pool

and We'll Turn the Red Water Blue

Life With Suicide

David Hull; Vocals, Keyboard, Bass

Tony Montanez; Drums

Engineer; Dustin Medeiros @ Pilot Records

Music/Lyrics by David Hull (BMI)

 

Song available on Itunes, Rhapsody, Napster & CD Baby

 

The water's getting high

The storm has passed

but there's nowhere left that's dry

Just let the violence subside

and underneath the sea

there are bones to find

 

Just let go, just let go and cry

Embrace the very pain you try to hide

 

An eight pound living toy

The heir to the throne of the pleasures

and the pain we so enjoy

He sleeps and he doesn't know

Just how much he will grow

A dime and three pennies

is what he pays for a quarter's worth of candy

It's poisoned with anxiety

and he doesn't know,

no, he doesn't know

 

Just let go, just let go and cry

Embrace the very pain you try to hide

Just let go, just let go and cry

Shed a tear for this Life With Suicide

 

Brother can you spare a dime?

I've come up short, but I'm eager to fly

Now we all laugh, and we all cry

But since when did a little bad weather mean

Life With Suicide...

Music/Lyrics by David Hull (BMI)

 

Song available on Itunes, Rhapsody, Napster & CD Baby

 

My greasy fingers stretch for you...

They shoot out rays of light to suck you in

From your summer home in Timbuctoo

You take a taxi to the gym

 

You don't know what it's like

to live a hard knock life,

Another scoop should do you in

Another cannonball

into a public pool

While your brother's in Bolivia

bleeding on a bible

 

An icee cream awaits you

and a beggar is streaking your windo

Your icee cream drips on your shoe

and a ticker reads

"Down, down, down the stock markets go"

Your car is drenched in gasoline

and through the fumes you hear a woman scream

Your child is in the back seat

and your fine leather interior

is sucked into oblivion

 

You love your country, yes you do...

T.N.T.V.

(Youtube video version)

David Hull; Vocals, Keyboard, Bass, Whistling and Live Loops

Music/Lyrics by David Hull (BMI)

 

 

You may be happy in your nervousness

You never did seem to want to be here

And you may relish your cowardice

But time moves on just like a tick, tick, ticking bomb

 

The power's out and the phones are down

There ain't a thing left in this whole damn town

The bomb in the locker just followed you like a stalker

Did you get the message now?

 

The world is happy once again

We've recovered from the blazing heat of you

The people return from where they've been

But the hustle bustle gets your muscles a little tense

 

You tell yourself to breathe

The world doesn't mean to be this way

Just step back and see

That I could blow this world away

 

The power's out and the phones are down

There ain't a thing left in this whole damn town

The bomb in the locker just followed you like a stalker

Did you get the message now?

Everyone is looking and everyone can see

And everyone knows 'cause I'm on T.V.

The pain and destruction and the explosive attention

Did you get the message now?
