No Sense At All--Words & Music Brian Murray

I need a map, so I can find you when I want to
I can find you when I want to
You fight me back, and I pretend that I don't notice
I pretend that I don't notice

I try to shun my eyes away from you
Although I never do
And I'm feeling so tight inside
Turn me on to you
Turn me on to you...

A wave of psyche, comes through the air and into my head
Through the air and into my head
Received it well, but it's no use, cause you can't lie to me
You can't cry with you inside of me

I try to shun my eyes away from you
Although I never do
And I'm feeling so tired inside
Turn me on to you
Turn me on to you

But what you say I never know
so what price do I have to hear it
All those thoughts ideas and phrases make no sense at all
Make no sense at all.....



You Ride Up There (Mansion On The Hill)--Words & Music Brian Murray

When you first walked thru the door unseen
Hearing someone else's name
With your heart wrapped tight in a silver steel glass chain

WIth a gamblers luck you took your place
in a home of hope and fear
Where young souls tend to lose their state of mind

At a quick glance down I caught my reflection
In a dirty pool of rain
Can a crowded hall carry one mans lonely name?

At the beggar's ball my echoed call
was taken faithfully in hand
Always knowing that God's love was in your plan

You ride up there with the clouds all passing by
You ride up there with the stars in the desert sky
Yeah, you ride up there with the flowers on the sill
You ride up there with a mansion on the hill

When I came back home I could not be sure
of where I was tonight
I could only see a shearing strain of light

In an angel's dance I watched you glance
across the sky in front of me
Let the plane fly out where no one else can see

You ride up there with the clouds all passing by
You ride up there with the clouds in the desert sky
Yeah You ride up there with the flowers on the sill
You ride up there with a mansion on the hill



Spider Season--Words Heather Frigge-Music Sotiri Karlis/George Kapitanellis


It's spider season, when they come creeping
Like those bad feelings sneakin up on you
When the leaves start changing and rearranging
The wind starts blowin cold on you

It's spider sason in the cracks
Oh so clever climbin on your back
Before you know it settling
Oh so quickly under your skin..

Creepin, crawlin, biting you,
They start fight, and the deeper they dig in
They grip so tight, you can't fight them, until you give in...

Need a soul now to make you smile
Protect and guard you for awhile
Save your spirit from decay
Make this shit just fade away

Ugly thoughts they carry with them
Memories you don't care to keep
Those buzzing disconcerning flies
They plague you when you try to sleep

It almost hurts to much to breath
Heavy hearts bring you to your knees
Spiders know their webs will keep you
It's their way to make you stay

Creepin, crawlin, biting you,
They start fight, and the deeper they dig in
They grip so tight, you can't fight them, until you give in...

You let them have their way with you
And when the moonless night is thru
You gather strength to break away
And slowly crawl back to the day



Only Time It Will Tell---Words & Music George Kapitanellis

 When you laid next to me
I felt the beat of your heart
We traveled the roads between
The near and the far

 You know when I met you girl
You gave me all of your charms
You'd look into my eyes
(and), said you'd do me no wrong

You're loving was so good now baby
No words cannot tell
You promised me heaven
So How'd I wind up in hell


 Oh when you looked at me
I couldn't see thru your eyes
You stood there so silently
As I laid down to die

Dying & Crying
They don't mean a thing
I could cry you a river
Would you remember my name?

 You're loving was so good now baby
No words cannot tell
You soared like an angel
So How'd I wind up in hell

How'd I wind up in hell....

I truly believed in you
Lord knows I was wrong
The years have passed and each day
I got to carry my cross

Don't take it the wrong way
I only wish you fairwell
Just trying to forget all of my blues...
But only time it will tell..
Onlly time it will tell...
Only time it will tell...


Til The End Of My Days--Words & Music George Kapitanellis

Til the end of my days
I'll be lovin you
and nothing has changed, all alone and so blue

You left me behind
Like a dog a dog in the dirt
I wrote you some songs
just to tell you the truth

No you never wanted
to hear all my words
instead you ran out
and filled me with a-hurt

Til the end of my days
I'll be holding on
To the love that we made underneath those bright stars

Now that your gone
I'm traveling the world
singing these songs
that I wrote just for you

When my ramblings done
and the ground takes my blues
I'll tell the angels in heaven
That I always loved you

Til the end of my days
I'll be holding on
to the love that we made underneath those bright stars

Til the end of my days
I'll be lovin you
and nothing has changed, all alone and so blue .

Lonely--Words & Music Joe Wilkinson

Lonely, stoned out and I'm cold
Wasted time and left it to unfold
It's a mystery about a life that's just been told
Got my shirt on my back, got my small stack
And I'm ready to break the mold
Of a life that's been sold

Listen, not much more to give
Wasted mind, and strung out on a limb
It's a mystery about a life in constant spin
Got my shirt on my back, got my small stack
And I'm ready to break the mold, of a life that's been sold

Aint no telling what's inside
Aint no reason you should cry
If we can just keep it together
I said one more time for fun
One more before the damage is done
But are you lonely??

Well I wake up, too much sun in my eyes
Drifting away and startin to realize
It's a mystery about a life of compromise
I got my shirt on my back,
Got my small stack and I'm ready to break the mold
All my life has been sold


Now I Stand--Words & Music Joe Wilkinson

Times Marching on, and it won't seem to slow
Try to recapture the things we once knew, without words
And we all seem to know what it's for..

Faith coming round and it won't be denied
With warmth in our hearts and love by our side
We'll share in that joy, hold your head high and move on

Now I stand feeling the wind and it's change
Now I stand were oldest of friends laughing again..


Why'd You Leave Me?  Words Latoya Williams, Music George Kapitanellis

How could you walk away from me?
How could you leave me standin cold?
So long I waited just to see you
My darling never came home

Ooh baby, why'd you leave me?
How could you leave me standing cold?

Thought I'd given you my everything
But your lonely heart I guess couldn't console
I tried my very best to please you
I guess my best wasn't good enough

Baby, Baby, why'd you leave me?
How could you leave me all alone?

The love you'd given me was something special
I remember the nights we used to talk
You'd take my hand and lead me so slowly
To a place that I'd never been before..

Darling if you should ever need me, all you have to do is just call
Don't you know I'll be right there when you'd call
Don't you know that I would never go, anytime you need me
All you have to do is just call me
Cause I will be right there to sing you home
I'll be right there to take you home...


Blue River--Words & Music Joe Wilkinson

I had a dream
Filled with mysteries of blues and greens and things
Would it be the same, a different daydream

Need some time to make some sense
To see beyond thoses fences
Lay down in fields of green
With a lie that's so obscene

When you finally find some friends
All depends on where your lookin
Just think before you see
WIth a life so obscene

I have walked forty miles
Up around the bend
Silver rainbows will call for you
Blue river feels the same
Blue river feels the same
Blue river feels the pain
Blue river feels the same

Need some time to make some sense
To see beyond thoses fences
Lay down in fields of green
With a lie that's so obscene



I Refuse--Words Latoya William Music Cosmic American Derelicts

The sun's been shinin all day, shinin brightly all over my face
So they said tomorrow's gonna rain and don't you know when it rains
It pours so hard...

 But I refuse to let it bring me down

I said you get no justice with pain, lord only time will tell the tale
You go through all your sorrows and your pain, so all your answers will be game

Don't mistake my words, lord I said for preachin ..
no for preachin

Everythings going to be alright.
Everythings gotta work out right

Come on baby..

The sun's been shinin all day, shinin brightly all over my face
Somone said tomorrow's gonna rain and don't you know when it rains
It pours so hard...

Don't you know everything will be alright,
Yes, everythings got to work out fine

Come on baby..Lord it's gonna be alright

Everythings going to be alright.
Everythings gotta work out fine
Yes everything




Whore Girl--Words & Music George Kapitanellis


Whore Girl
Runnin wild
Don't you know
She's just a little child

Poor girl
She's just standing by
All those pimp daddy's
Been gettin her high

Whore girl
She's runnin 'round
All those sleepin pills
Been bringing her down/way down

Whore Girl
Runnin wild
Don't you know
She's just a little child

Cause you know her life is so unreal
So she gets high, so she can feel
That is why, she's just out on the street
Getting high all the time and turnin tricks..

I want to tell you bout this whore girl, she's just gettin high...
She's just gettin high all the time...

Songs From The Homestead 2008

Lyrics "Songs From The Homestead." released 2008

Bedside--Words & Music Scott Lauro

All alone by the bedside where you lay
The doctor said you only got 20 minutes to stay
I hold your hand while the angels take you away
All alone by the bedside where you lay..Where you lay

The angels keep on taking you farther away
So many things I want to ask and so many I want to say
And why does this have to be your dying day..
And why am I all alone....by the bedside where you lay...

What will I do with you so far away?
I guess I'll never make it on my knees to pray
I guess I'll have to take it day by day
All alone by the bedside where you lay..where you lay

The angels keep on taking you farther away
So many things I want to ask and so many I want to say
And why does this have to be your dying day..
And why am I all alone....by the bedside where you lay...



Drink You Off My Mind--Words George Kapitanellis Music Scott Lauro

Since you left it seemed so easy
Have a few drinks to ease my mind
Now you're gone, you are my prison
And I'm sittin here doing time...

All my friends have off and left me
Alone with this jug of wine
And the time passes oh so slowly
But my wounds won't heal with time...

I tried to drink you off my mind
Got too much time and no more wine
Gettin harder and harder each day
Cause your memory never seems to fade...

Scars are what's left of your memory
On my soul and deep inside
Many years have gone and past me
Trapped inside these walls of time

So I sit here sad and lonesome
Listening to songs that were true
All the love that you ever gave me
Left me nothing but the blues...

I tried to drink you off my mind
Got too much time and no more wine
Gettin harder and harder each day
Cause your memory never seems to fade...



Last Words--Words Scott Lauro Music Lauro, Kapitanelis, Rainey, Karlis

This lonesome road , lord has got me by the hand
I don't know where I'll stop or where I'll stand
I like torture,
I like pain, and I love rain
Thoughts running thru my brain of ending it all...

But I see you all alone..
Readin the last words I wrote
Just a single tear from your eye
Keeps me from saying goodbye..

I tried running far away, you made me stay
I'm glad I did, cause I'd be dead by now
Thoughts of being aroundnforever don't come to me
I just sit here and wish'd I'd fly away..

But I see you all alone..
Readin the last words I wrote
Just a single tear from your eye
Keeps me from saying goodbye..



Sleep Walking Killer--Words Scott Lauro Music Lauro, Rainey, Kapitanellis, Karlis

Just before he goes to bed, he wishes he was dead, and clears his head of all the thoughts he's thinking..
And around twelve o'clock, he puts on his killing smile, with his eyes clothes he feels the he's been dreamin
Then he drives twenty miles just to see her pretty smile, and cut you ear to ear with his knife
Yeah, he'll cut you ear to ear with his knife

Sleep walkin killer roams through the night
Come the morning he's starin at the light
Sleep walkin killers keeps his eyes closed tight
Come the morning he says good night
Come the morning he says good night

Well he thinks somethings wrong, he'd been dreamin all year long, of killing people just because he can
Well he'd never hurt a fly or make a baby cry, but only when he's out again
Well it's off to bed again, let the prisoner out the pen, and count to ten and off he goes again
Count to ten and off he goes again

Sleep walkin killer roams through the night
Come the morning he's starin at the light
Sleep walkin killers keeps his eyes closed tight
Come the morning he says good night
Come the morning he says good night

Next morning he woke up, filled up his coffee cup, and saw them blue and red lights a-flashin
Well he wondered where'd he'd gone wrong, I'd been sleepin all night long, they got there guns drawn, starin straight at me..
Well I held up my hands and just as they planned, they shot me right between the eyes, yeah they shot me right between the eyes..




Same Old (Same Old)--Words George Kapitanellis Music Lauro, Rainey, Kapitanellis, Karlis

I aint never been to Denver, but it sure beats sittin home
Waitin round this Jersey town, drinkin beer and getting stoned
Aint got no wife to tell of, just pills and a-hanging rope
I been hanging on so long man, that I just lost all hope

But day in and day out, the same old, same old

Well there's got to be more to this life, but I just can't sell my soul

I aint never been to Portland, but I'd like to find the time
Velcroed to this easy chair, Get a nickle for my dime
Aint no children to tell of, just ulcers and achin bones
So many friends surrounding me why do I feel alone?

But day in and day out the same old, same old

I aint never been to London, but I'd like to find the way
Get my ass on a plane, fly through the break of day
All my buddies have been drinkin, so long it's hard to tell
But through the years and grinding gears, I'm drowning at the bottom of a well

But day in and day out, the same old, same old





Barbed Wire Bed--Words & Music--Scott Lauro

Well she locked me out the house
And I aint got no key
I guess she ran off with a man with a doctor's degree
Well I work out in the dirt and that's just what I do
I spit and scream all day and the I come back home to you

Well I'm sleeping in this barbed wire bed
Must've been the things that I said
And I aint got no where to run
But I'm sure feeling cold and numb

Well I sat out on the front porch, waiting here for you
It's been three days or more and there's nothing I can do
So I wrote a couple of songs about all that I'd done wrong
I even got the neighborhood kids to dance and sing along

Well I'm sleeping in this barbed wire bed
Must've been the things that I said
And I aint got no where to run
But I'm sure feeling cold and numb

I got home late from work one night, and saw somethings wrong
I opened up the front door and all my stuff was gone
She took the pictures off the wall, the rug out of the hall
And all I gots this barbed wire bed for me to call my home..

Well I'm sleeping in this barbed wire bed
Must've been the things that I said
And I aint got no where to run
But I'm sure feeling cold and numb



I Only Steal Things When I'm Drunk--Words George Kapitanellis Music Scott Lauro, Ed Rainey, George Kapitanellis, Sotiri Karlis

Well working all week lord it just aint easy
Hearing that boss man hollerin at me
He want to dock a weeks pay from you
There's nothing I can say or I can do

I only steal things when I'm drunk
That's how I got this pickup truck
I know it's only Friday night, but I'd rather steal from you
Than start a fight

Livin the life styles of musicians
Is living hard and dying fast
But I don't feel much like dying
So I'll just empty up my glass

I only steal things when I'm drunk
I got this deer head in my truck
I know it's only Saturday night
But I'd rather steal with you
Than start a fight

I only steal things when I'm drunk
That's how I crashed this pickup truck
I know its's finally Sunday nighgt
And I'll sleep it all off, In jail tonight
In jail tonight
In jail tonight..







Cosmic American Derelicts Eponymous Debut

You Say These Things--Words Brian Murray  Music Murray, Rainey, Kapitanellis, Karlis

In a city of despair and heartache
With a high rate of the blind
She was staring out the cafe' window
Then walked at double time

Did anyone even notice?
Did anyone report the crime?
That was perpetrated on her Sunday
By a man who swore "You'll be mine"

Did anyone even notice?
Could anyone afford the time?
You say these things sound always from your mind
No I never heard your words before
Familiar snd sublime
You say these things sound always from you mind

As the train pulled from the station
He had to scream a bit
"That's simply the way that life goes,
and your simply gonna deal with it"

Then I rose to be recognized
As the lights flickered off and quit
As the train pulled into station
Station fifty fifth

Has anyone had their chance to say
And explain life undefined?
You say these things sound always from your mind
For I might have a point to make
But for now I will decline
You say these things sound always from your mind
You say these things sound always from your mind

Has anyone ever heard you say
That can leave me paralyzed
You say these things sound always from your mind
Though I've never heard the words flow thru
Like an ancient poets rhyme
You say these things sound always from your mind


Eastern Bound--Words & Music Brian Murray

My eyes are getting rusty, like daddy's cast iron plow
Many fields of wheat he's taken, from mother Earth's fallow ground
Wash your hands remove the dirt that keeps a shy man down

I've heard about you New York
I've heard about you brother PA
You're light casts a shadow that stretches through my room each day
Want to see you in your glory, want to see you in reality

I'm eastern bound, eastern bound
I'm eastern bound, eastern bound
Want to see you in your alley, boy, and hear you on the street
Feel the ground beneathe my feet

It seems I've had it with the country, there's only so much a man can take
When your down sheds and falters, and your wings stretch across the bay
It's leavin time baby, cause tomorrow may be too late

It seems I've walked to far for some folks, to a sun gleaming eastern shore
With people walkin steady, In and out of countless Bible stores
Tryin to pay with money, For those things they cannot afford

I'm Eastern Bound
I'm Eastern Bound
Wanna see you in your alley
In an alley dark and blind
Take the time to take my time

Well it's just the same back home, where the movie's always shown
Where we all want to live our lives differently
At the theatre down on Main St, I see the city burn straight
Like Chicago, Detroit, East LA, It's a beauty on your market
For your urban blossom cabaret...




AInt It Good To Lie--Words Brian Murray--Music--Murray, Kapitanellis, Rainey, & Karlis

Sun may rise tomorrow
And it may rise tonight
When all around is brokendown
Aint it good to lie?

Aint it good to lie
Aint it good to lie
If heaven hangs above me baby
You're here beside my side

Message received and taken
Placed in memory banks
You want me for awhile
If even more I can thank
Creatures crawling out my face
Let me draw the blinds
What does it matter?
I know it's good to lie..

Aint it good to lie
Aint it good to lie
If hell arrives tomorrow morning
Your here beside my side




Annie Walks--Words & Music Brian Murray

I don't know about you
But I'm on the run from the ghost of starvation
Do you think it's true?
Or is it some strange fascination

Pack it in and sleep
Is that what he did to get what he's after?
So we cry and complain
And say our only excuse is laughter

But it just makes me feel, right at home
To think of things that I could not say
This is what I spotted long ago

Annie walks and she walks
Strange and disillusioned as she talks
Annie walks and Annie walks alone

Just follow the signs
And wait until you feel vibration
Coming down from the sky
And meet me by the old plantation

Where we'll sit right down, talk about
Things that someday could have been
This is what I spotted long ago

But I don't know how, you could feel
All happy and yet so sad
This is what I started long ago


Aren't We--Words & Music Brian Murray

You talk about your other girls
You talk about your other boys
And which one will it be?

I just got home
You just got home
Face this town alone
Are you kidding me?

Aren't we, in love?
Aren't we, in love?
Aren't we, in love?

Sixty grand I spent on you
I hope I get my money too
Is that all I really need

My heart is set to rhyme and time
Let music be my only crime
My vice be only you

Aren't we, in love?
Aren't we, in love?
Aren't we, in love?

Simon's in the water
And he's checking out your daughter
And is that all he really sees?
He's calling me I've got to jump
But I don't think I'll have the luck
To land on my feet...


Miss Raunchy--Words Brian Murray  Music George Kapitanelis

Miss Raunchy, you haunt me
But I never want to live without you
Even when I'm on my dying bed
I live and die for love
But I'll trade'em all for you instead

Miss Raunchy You stronged me
Took me down in the water
But I'll never want to breathe without you
Even when the air is fresh and green
I've told my tales to tell
And now I'll find my lonely ax to clean

Miss Raunchy you haunt me
I have to dry in the rain
But I'll never say bad words about you
Whenever you do me wrong
It's a small price to pay
When you stretch me out like your thong..


Karyline--Words & Music Brian Murray

No I am not destruction, no I am not an evil man
When the end comes around the bend, you'll know exactly who I am
But night after night and struggle after struggle
The show will start real late once again
Wherever we end up, there is where we'll be
And it only goes to show it's where we've been
Standing at the edge of a canyon rim
Where day is dark and night seems ever bright
I know it's right, Hey Karyline

Planetary supplements and a bagpipe on a broken hand
Angels in the eyes of birds and the devil's in the son of Sam
But night after night, heartbeat after heartbeat
I'm a Chinese dragon that walks in front of you
And when there's a chance of rain, it's three A.M. on a swtichin train
That wakes you up in the middle of a dream
Like a dark scary movie with Martin Sheen
Deliver me with the rays of the Holy light
I know it's right, Hey Karyline


In A Dream (I Was A Monkee)--Words & Music Brian Murray

In a dream I was a monkee
Married to the serpant and hawk
In a dream I was a monkee
Who carried the mark on his heart

Would you believe that I would be thinking
That I could climb the tallest tree
In a world where everything worked right
It very well might set me free

On the ride the song I'd write
And in a dream I'd come back home
Maybe I could live my life
In a world I create on my own

Mr Man deep in the shadows
Out to get the better of you
Felt the wrath of the energy being
The power of monkee wushu

Mr Flight the darkest Knight
Have risen far and few in between
Change your face within the light
Things are not as sure as they seem


It's Too Far--Words & Music Brian Murray

It's too far to be where you are
It's too long of a ride
Around a mountain
Around a star
It's too far

A million miles
from where you are
It's just a shame now we're apart
And that's bad
Now your just for me to think
You walk away when my eyes blink
And that's sad, so sad..

It's too far to be where you are
It's too long of a ride
Around a mountain
Around a star
It's too far

Well I'm the actor on the stage
Reading from an empty page
And that's bad
Now you're just for me to think
And walk away when my eyes blink
And that's sad, so sad..


Mainline--Words Brian Murray  Music Murray, Rainey, Kapitanelis, Karlis

Black man, white man
While the poor demand
A way to rise above the tide

Down right fields of grain
Standing in the rain
Enough to hold us for awhile

On the station Mainline
Right before your eyes
On a road eroded by lies
On the station Mainline
Drifting off in space
Climb aboard and take your place

Red girl, yellow sun
Was she the only one
Who could make the valley rise?

Here the silent crowd
Crying way too loud
See shadows rise above the ground

On the station Mainline
Right before your eyes
On a road eroded by lies
On the station Mainline
Drifting off in space
Climb aboard and take your place

But what's wrong with you, those in denial
Whose gain and pain through human trial
If honesty is what we need, what's wrong with you
Who refuse to see?
What's wrong with you who refuse to see?

On the station Mainline
Burning down in flames
With no one bold enough to blame
On the station Mainline
Haunted by your ghost
Sittin down to be your host

But what's wrong with you, those in denial
Whose gain and pain through human trial
If honesty is what we need, what's wrong with you
Who refuse to see?
What's wrong with you who refuse to see?



Crazy--Words by Brian Murray  Music by Murray, Rainey Kapitanellis, Karlis


You sleep tonight
And I'll watch my lady
I like the light
Would you call me crazy?
Would you call me crazy?
Would you call me crazy?

Let a crazy lady deal out my hand
Lying and a waiting in a bed of sand
But she doesn't know my future
She doesn't know my past
A threatening spectre that came creepin on me fast

Any amount of money,she was sent by him
Father of deceiver and concocter of all sin
But a river had divided
So easily it's passed
Sailing like an eagle
Over smoothe as mirrored glass

You sleep tonight
And I'll watch my lady
I like the light
Would you call me crazy?
Would you call me crazy?
Would you call me crazy?

I rest in the arms of the one I know
The shocking dreams that seem to show
That no one's there behind you
No, no one's there at all
But someone's there behind you, well in case you got to fall

Every band's making their muted sound
Lying in a jungle and they're crying out loud
But a river half divided
So easily it's grown
Sailing like an eagle
And I think I'm going home

You sleep tonight
And I'll watch my lady
I like the light
Would you call me crazy?
Would you call me crazy?
Would you call me crazy?
