Feel It (Can You)
03:44
|

The drink, that's never full
It's empty and lonely
That's okay
We're safe inside
Left alone in an empty place
(Just a feeling)
(Just a feeling)
Left alone in an empty place
Just a box of chocolates
Whole time thinking about this place
Left alone in an empty place
Just a paintbrush (box of chocolates)
And a day alright to be friendly and sadly la, la, la, la
That was all I think
(Left alone in an empty place)
(Just a feeling)
Left alone in an empty place
Something feeling
I've been waiting all night and day
Can't you feel it?

Maybe I'm Late
04:10
|
|||
I've never been lost
like myself was
on that day
That day you
took me out
with all those
places to see
You showed me
where the whizz was
and I did not
believe in me
I did not believe in me
Did not really believe
You took me out that day, I was a terrible mess, babe
I didn't what to see them things was written inside of my face
Would I ever want of what I could not even say?
Maybe I'm just wrong from the getting day
Maybe I'm just wrong from original me
No one ever told me that I would stray
Maybe I'm just wrong
Maybe I'm late
Maybe I'm late
Maybe I'm late
I'm late
Maybe I'm not wrong, maybe I'm just late
Maybe sad day songs was never too late

Could I ask you did you feel it?
Feel it's time
I maybe ask you did you feel it?
This time

The Chord
02:52
|
|||
I wish I would play something natural
So my eyes could get around it
And I wouldn't be so lost and confused
And I'd have something to say about it
Except for all of these empty times
Waiting for the ends coming up and about
But it never seems to come because I'm waiting around now.
But the chord never comes in
Didn't know the way
But you still, I'm still, waiting here singing this same old silly song out.
Said I'm waiting for the chord now
Think, I think I'm coming in now
I don't know what I would have said now
I would, hey, I said what you think now?
Now here's a chord now
You'd like the chord now
Well play it on down
Every night, every day every last sound
Heres the chord again
You like the chord now
I want to play it now
Did you hear it now?
Well there the chord now
I hope you're lying down
Well there they goes now what I haven't didn't even know what you was caring about
There's the chord now
Yeah
There's the chord now
There he is, that chord now
In goes it down, down

This Way

Where did you see
The light coming in, again?
Did you see?
I see
I didn't know
Where did you see
The light coming in?
I didn't know
I didn't see

I'm sorted
Brush my teeth
Stare into the mirror
While I'm talking to myself
And I'm telling me I look like a doctor
And I'm thinking fables
And I said well, I'm afraid it's cancer, laugh and say:
Nah, too serious, oh:
I'm afraid it's chickenpox
I'm too young: I'm afraid it's twisted ankle
It's nothing too serious
Would you like to come to bar with me? Yes? Good
Would you like to come to the bar with me?
Man, you're so beautiful
And I think I'm talking to myself and I say
God! Fuck! You are beautiful, you are beautiful
Well, well, well!
Then I walk to bed
Master fate
Over pictures
Of great importance
But soon
I get tired again and a fever till I'm almost of heart
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I've stoned souls
And I wash my teeth and
I stare into the mirror
While I'm talking to myself
And I'm telling me
I should be a doctor
But I think I forget
I'm afraid they said it was
What it was when it was
I couldn't tell when it was
But I knew what it was
I knew what it was
I knew what it

Stable
06:14
|

When I was living in a house
Was very nice
Was something else, round my side
You were something else
You were something else
Living in a house
Keys on the table
Never wanted nothing
Except for a stable
But it's something else now
And I don't know what it is
Living in a house now
Don't know where it is
Could be round the corner
Could be on the street
Don't know where it is now
But I really like that place
People come around now
Talk to my face
Looking for a stable
Somewhere to go
Something nice and dry now
Out of the snow and
Somewhere to rely on
Somewhere to call my own
But I keep bouncing
Back into this zone
Looking for a stable
Haven't found it yet
What I'm going to get now
Thinking about something else
Listen to you all now
Don't know what you mean
But you mean something
This is the stable
We live inside
Never wanted nothing
Except for a life to live
And if we live it
Can we also die it?
But inside this stable
There is no room for doubt
Welcome to the stable
Hope you enjoy
Stay for a while now
Sit inside
There's room for plenty
Especially for you
If you don't want to
You don't have to do

Sunglasses on a very very dark street
Sunglasses on a very very dark street
Sunglasses on a very very dark street
Sunglasses on a very very dark street
Sunglasses on a very very dark street
Sunglasses on a very very dark street
Sunglasses on a very very dark street
Sunglasses on a very very dark street
I didn't know your name but
I knew the way you looked, oh
Your silver eyes are shining
Just like thunder
Sunglasses on a very very dark day
Sunglasses on a very very dark day
Sunglasses on a very very dark day
Sunglasses on a very very dark day
Could it have been the ether in the air
Could there be something?
I didn't recognize it much before, but
I'm feeling
Sunglasses on a very very dark day
Sunglasses on a very very dark day
Sunglasses on a very very dark day
On a very dark day
Your shadows like a mystery to me
I cannot figure it out
All the impressions that you left for me
Are left here in my mouth
I wear sunglasses on a very very dark day
Sunglasses on a very very dark day
Sunglasses on a very very dark day
On a very dark day

Old Man Mike San Juan, Puerto Rico
Music for just after the after party
Hi, I'm Mike, I've been making music as "Old Man Mike"
since 2009 after a friend jokingly called me that when I was listening to some nice morose (in the best possible way) Nick Cave music. I thought it was funny in my 20's, because everyone else was tiny and lil and baby. And those will get old quick. But Old Man Mike is ready made history: timeless
