Fear of Heights I took you to a bridge But you had a fear of heights So you told me to leave And I wanted to cry What’s in the sky? You said “The moon baby!” What’s on your mind? You said “You baby!” Never mind my fear of heights Never mind my fear of heights You said you’d love me If I was dressed in white When I showed up in black You felt abandoned all night What’s in the sky? You said, “The moon baby!” What’s on your mind? You said, “You baby.” Never mind my fear of heights Never mind my fear of heights We’re naked and hidden And alone every night We couldn’t touch So our fingers said goodbye What’s in the sky? You said, “The moon baby!” What’s on your mind? You said, “You baby!” Never mind my fear of heights Never mind my fear of heights Never mind my fear of heights Words and music ©2005 C.A. Beier

Party 04:52
Party The Chauffeur comes for you at midnight Takes you to the party And vanishes from sight The hostess is an automated machine And it’s the best party you’ve ever seen Swimming pools, disco lights, cocaine Empty rooms, plastic flowers, champagne Your friends won’t ask you where you’ve been It’s the best party you’ve ever seen The living mingle with the dead Or you can lie down to sleep instead If you dream too long, You’ll be crowned a queen It’s the best party you’ve ever seen Seems like years since you had so much fun Seems so long since you left home without a gun You waited too long, and you’ve been living clean It’s the best party you’ve ever seen The carpet turns from red to white The chauffeur gives you back your life You see the past through a TV screen It’s the best party you’ve ever seen ©2010 Words by C.A.

Marjory 03:58
Marjory On the brink of jealousy I see you and you see me The look from you I can’t forget Sucking on your cigarette Amnesia in lips and tongue Tell me Margie where I went wrong You look so good in the fluorescent light Can I take you home tonight? I don’t think I’ll ever sleep Until I take you home with me Marjory, Marjory My head spins, my dreams slip My shoes are gone, My coat is ripped If I could only touch you hair If I could only see you naked there If I could touch and not just dream I might dance and I might scream You look so good in the disco lights Can I take you home tonight? I don’t think I’ll ever sleep Until I take you home with me Marjory, Marjory When I don’t see you for a while You change your hair, You change your style Give me a drag of your cigarette I’ll give you one from before we met Why can’t I ever learn? Another night I toss and turn Every morning I see the sun rise I’d rather be looking in your eyes Can I take you home with me? Can I take you home with me? Marjory, Marjory Words and music ©2009 C.A.

Safe to Sleep She was emancipated and young Doomed to crawl on the floor Looking for coins She smelled like the blood of the moon The blood of the moon If she won’t come back No, she won’t come back She was the dedication to salvation Doomed to never love No, to never love She shone like the light of the muse The light of the muse If she won’t come back No, she won’t come back I see a scar on her wrist And nowhere safe to sleep Nowhere safe to sleep She danced with the shades in my head The shades in my head If she won’t come back No, she won’t come back Words and music © 2005 C.A.

Lucky Break 04:39
Lucky Break Tell me a secret, Tell me a lie, Blow smoke rings over my watery eyes Whatever I did to you, I promised that I would never do Part my hair with the tip of your tongue I’ll miss you when you’re gone What can we do when what’s done is done? I don’t watch TV, so tell me the news Tell me you love me, I don’t’ have to believe you Credit comes where credit’s due I wouldn’t have made it if it wasn’t’ for you You’re hungry and there’s nothing to eat So walk on my back with your dainty feet What can we do when what’s done is done? No one sees When I kiss your lips Now my lips are sealed But my tongue might have slipped Tell me a secret, tell me a lie Blow smoke rings over my bloodshot eyes You’re the impossible, I’m the hard-to-find Don’t you like it When I speak my mind? Thanks for the money That’s all I’ll take Thanks for the cigar and the lucky break Words and Music © 2009 C.A. Beier

The Concave Convecular Contraption I look like you, You can count on me You don’t have to steal I’ll give it for free Don’t wash your body Just for me Don’t let me undo Your misery Pride tastes good And so does revenge Sobriety is good Let’s go on a binge If I could be you And you’d look like me We’d be one-of-a-kind Public property Two cats who share the same face A mirror that waits for an embrace Do you need a witness, Or will you leave it to fate? Come forward now, Before it’s too late Looters comes With lynch mobs Unemployment come With too many jobs Look at my face Can you guess my age? Let me calm your anger With my rage When your dreams die, Take the time to grieve Come to visit me And never leave I look like you, You look like me Don’t tie me up, Just let me be Are you ready for love?

Secrets 04:54
SECRETS Hey are you lost my child Sorry I forgot your name Don’t forget to bring the rent When you come around again Well did I say Something you should know? You’ll never confide In me anymore Hey, don’t panic my son If there’s nothing left for you You’ll know as soon as I’m gone I did my best, it’s true Well have you seen What happened to my friend Joe? He’ll never confide In me anymore Hey I woke up today Missing all desire But guilty I don’t feel Not for opening my eyes What have you done That I should know? You’ll never confide In me anymore Words and Music ©2012 C.A. Beier

Lose Me Now 03:43
Lose Me Now Be patient The chance is coming again Don’t you love to wait? Don’t you have the time? Can’t you bury me? Would you even try? I feel rage Like someone’s kicking me I turn around But there’s no-one there I wanna fade, Vanish in the air and be free Grab the nearest cage Draw the best, then lose Can’t count on me At least not all the way Have you been to war, Or did you stay at home? I feel rage Like someone’s kicking me I turn around But there’s no-one there I wanna fade, Vanish in the air and be free Lose me now But don’t try again Pretend you’re good Is that what you deserve? You can’t surrender After you’ve given in I feel rage Like someone’s kicking me I turn around But there’s no-one there I wanna fade, Vanish in the air and be free Words and Music ©2010 C.A. Beier

NEGATIVE SPACE Thanks for the applause That affects the cause I look for your face Lost in negative space Baby, can I hear you sing? I long for everything A little change would be nice To live without your advice Buying endlessly ‘til there’s nothing left of me I struggle to perceive What exactly you need from me When it comes down to you Tell me what to do Thinking is a curse Every summer in reverse Untouched by love or light I watched you all night You won’t break or bend You were never my friend I have no reason to hide ‘cause I’m on the losing side Army boots on my feet Marching to defeat Baby, you came too late You missed me meet my fate When it comes down to you Tell me what to do Words and Music ©2011 C.A. Beier
