RESPLENDENT by bill mallonee yeah i remember the dark clouds raining dust for days on end blew all the earth out to california and just left us here with the wind in desperate times you know everybody's part but it's your own lines you're like to forget 'til what you were meets what you've now become grins and says "hey, haven't we met" lost my firstborn that winter and my wife on the first day of spring and so i poured my sweat into the earth yeah to see what that harvest would bring and i remember howling fury just like a plague of locusts egypt's punishment for sins of pride is that now what has come over us how much of this was meant to be how much the work of the devil how far can one man's eyes really see in these days of toil and trouble honey we're all resplendent yeah honey we are all thrift store i'm like a wino with a twenty dollar bill yeah forever and eternally yours i can make you promises if you don't expect too much yes and i will run the distance if you'll please please excuse my crutch how much of this is failing flesh how much the course of retribution my my how loudly we plead our innocence long after we've made our contribution

Black Cloud O'er Me Run Time: 3:27 Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI) ©2000 well i've got things in this suitcase i'm carrying well i've got things some of them you can't see and the others let's pretend they're of no consequence yeah i've always had this black cloud over me when the ground you stood upon is giving way under the rip tide and flood of a cold sea yeah and your heart keeps making tracks to where it shouldn't be going back yeah i've always had this black cloud over me yeah and pride she's a pit of many snakes and reason well she's still the devil's whore though the cannon ball may fly and the sabres baptize well turn the eyes of faith upon the Lord and some will shake off the sloth of faithlessness while others simply languish in their sleep me i just fight to stay awake yeah i've always had this black cloud over me

Solar System 03:40
Solar System Run Time: 3:39 Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI) ©2000 come in here and have a taste yeah what's one more hopeless case when your short wave dies and there's no one to listen and the stars going cold in your solar system well her lips were red and her hair was brown yeah feeling like the luckiest kids in town she said "i'll follow you boy to the ends of the earth" said "i'm not going that far for what it's worth" and i really love to see you like this the moonlight dripping off your fingertips off your fingertips well put all your love where it hurts the most expect a little visit from the Holy Ghost but when your short wave dies and there's no one to listen the stars going cold in your solar system

It's Not Bothering Me Run Time: 4:17 Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI) ©2000 tone of voice it's your choice it's as plain as all the words your eyes betray that's ok it's not bothering me i understand catch your drift it's not exactly like it's something you could miss as hollow as the sea inside your (my) heart there's a gate there's a fence i tried twice but there's no getting over it i thought the grass (cash) was greener there it's not i hope your boat rides the storm i hope you sleep where it is eternally warm upon the waves of hollow seas inside your heart in your heart that's the place where you must answer the phone for every word yeah that you speak that leaves someone else alone don't feel bad hey i don't first you say you will and then you say you won't i'm still your friend it's not bothering me i plug in this guitar (air guitars) and the chords are just a prayer up past the stars like the spray (waves) from hollow seas inside your (my) heart sure it's trippy sure it's sweet it's as plain as all the words your eyes betray that's ok it's not bothering me worn out suit no doubt borrowed scent of old cologne railroads and sorrow God's love shines through a prism i'm so confused by calvinism (television) honey meet me at my house kiss me long (full) upon the mouth like they do in san francisco
