Here are lyrics to three of the songs from Houston Tuesday. Please correct or add the rest at your leisure.

the wary stalk

there was a lot of bad boys out there
they thought they could overpower me
with their clubs and dogs
they didn't know I was from the 21st century
with fireballs flung from my fingers
I shot across the cold earth
they scattered and their dogs went howling
I gazed from side to side
all was clear and still
I could enter this paradise
without any shackles in my mind
I thought I was here, but I was there
then I was everywhere
slaying disturbances
it was quiet, now I knew
there would be no trouble
I didn't need to go stalking wary
I could float on gentle breezes
I could bask in the noonday sun
and all that wily weariness
would have to wait for another day
there was no trudge nor scuffle
yes, it was all good today

In All the Days

in all the days
I do nothing but cry
no way around it
tear after tear
I look over to you
your mind is far away
reminiscing about drudgery you once loved
it's not here now where did it go
it went to play and then your life changed
at one point it was everything
years later pretending it was nothing
you missed that shoebox
that five-times-a-week affair
go back to it now
even if only in your mind
in all the days
you're safer there
it's a breath-taking experience
as you are being lied to


Absent Minded

I'm absent minded
I'm absent minded
I'm absent minded
I lose my mind
and I can't find it
I'm absent minded
they put a name
I don't remember
they said some things
I didn't hear
I'm absent minded
I forgot who you are
I'm absent minded
I forgot who I am
I'm absent minded
please forgive me
I'm absent minded
I didn't know
I'm so absent minded
absent minded
I'm absent minded
my brain has gone for a walk
I'm not here
I don't care what's in the air
I'm absent minded
I don't know what this is for
I'm absent minded
I don't know what I did
I don't know what I said
I'm absent minded
