C-90

Track 11 from the album C-90 by Dave EganLyrics:To Watch and WonderTo watch and wonder is such a weight on my mind and INever realised you could Cry with anger and wield your pain like a knife and INeed a little time to be freeThe sacred slaughter of all that’s good in your life is fineSo long as you can find in yourSearch for water, to tame the fire and to taste the wineAnd find a little time to be free

Track 10 from the album C-90 by Dave EganLyrics:SomeoneSomewhere there’s a place I can go, so that everybody knows I am somewhereSometimes I can hide from the me that I don’t need to be even sometimesSomedays I am scared I might find that I’m not in your mind even somedaysSomething makes me say what I fear so that everyone can hear me say somethingForever young, forever hot, forever not, forever pacifiedForever young, forever hot, forever not, forever pacifiedSomeone somewhere’s following me so everyone can see I am someoneSomehow I have opened the door to live forever more, maybe somehowForever young, forever hot, forever not, forever pacified(Forever believe its true)Forever young, forever hot, forever not, forever pacified(You know we believe it too)

Track 9 from the album C-90 by Dave EganLyrics:Fire and SteamShe draws me in with siren’s thrallShe wraps me up to seal my fallShe knows my longings as she grows my fearsShe feeds on lust washed down with tearsShe casts emotion (she reels me in)No competition (fools seldom win)Spews ammunition (and so death begins)Of rage and deceptionWith fire and steam she has brought us to extremesShe has torn out our hearts. Now we’re worlds apart… we are worlds apart.She tracks my footsteps and my every keyShe sits on (watches) every page I seeShe gives me comfort in echoic roomAs she tells her master of his doomShe leaves me wrestling (she feels me writhe)In spun threads of emotion (to its source she climbs)With slow evisceration (she bleeds me dry)   She bleeds me for her potionWith fire and steam she has brought us to our kneesYet we still feel the need to be hirelings at her feet

Track 8 from the album C-90 by Dave EganLyrics:Don'tJulie needs a friend to helpBut those who can she cannot tellJulies home aloneSuffocating in its loveDon’t shut me off from you don’t say that you’re not mineDon’t cut my heart in two don’t tell me you are fineJulie glides on steelJust to prove the cold is realShe skates a frozen Baysville poolI pray to god she won’t fall throughDon’t shut me off from you don’t say that you’re not mineDon’t cut my heart in two don’t tell me you are fineIf you could hear what would I say?D’you recall the time we had when stupid games we’d play?And could you answer if I prayed?Give it up, give it up, give it up, pleaseDon’t shut me off from you don’t say that you’re not mineDon’t cut my heart in two don’t tell me you are fineDon’t shut me off from you don’t say that you’re not mineDon’t cut my heart in two don’t tell me you are fineYou're not fine

Track 7 from the Album C-90 by Dave EganLyrics Shining Like the SunToo many dreams had come & gone for us to say this was the oneSo many lights had died yet through the darkest clouds we saw you comeShining like the sun, shining like the sun.Too many times we talked of war with only battles others wonSo many times we have been blinded to this perfect light you’ve shoneShining like the sun, shining like the sun.After all we’re just shadows of the ones we used to beWhen I close my eyes our past is sometimes all that I can seeBut open wide and futurelight comes pouring over meOver me, over meShining like the sun, shining like the sun

Track 6 from the Album C-90 by Dave EganLyrics:Beautiful MonsterJulie had a dream about a monsterIt had tracked her down for a year or twoShe’d hide for a while and he’d hunt down to find,And every time she’d run, he’d follow afterJulie was so scared she cared for nothingBroke down and cried with a friend who knewOf all her fractious fears and while washing off her tearsShe told her about her stupid monster:“Hey Julie, there’s just hope in his headYou’ll see the hunger in his eyes is just to be with youAnd the claws of his fingertips are to protect you from your foeSo don’t run, take his handHe’s beautiful”Julie knew she had to face the monsterI guess she knew she’d nothing left to loseAnd if he ripped and heavedTo take the final breath she breathedAt least she knew she wouldn’t have to“Hey Julie, there’s just hope in his headYou’ll see the hunger in his eyes is just to be with youAnd the claws of his fingertips are to protect you from your foeSo don’t run, take his handHe’s beautiful”
