"The Art of War"
words and music by phil valencia
through the walls tonight
feel the system hum to life - it's on
hills to the marrow
hills that stand to rise against us all
tonight 'til dawn
halfway to the stars
six feet underground
breathing soil
miles to climb
freed in time, oh
the fierce survive
it's a culture of reasons why
the hounds have found the peaceful site
ruby fluid soil in the sun
tonight 'til dawn
tomorrow tomorrow will soon be gone
and the fierce survive
it's a culture of reasons why - it's dawn
the hill's to the marrow
bullets bring a balance to us all
tonight 'til dawn
halfway to the stars
six feet underground
breathing soil
miles to climb
freed in time
freed in time
miles to climb
freed in time
freed in time... - Track Name: New York

"New York"
words and music by phil valencia
i'd cross the world for you
who fields of oceans the red tide shallows
just to be with you
( i want to )
and show you what i know
( i'm alright )
in old new york
see the city moving
broadway won't let me down
daylight swallowed
i'd love to see the view
( i want to )
and show you what i know
( i'm alright )
i'll show you what i know
in old new york
i'd take a 747
with creature comforts
the red-eye soho
just to be with you
( i want to )
and show you what i know
( i'm alright )
i'll show you what i know
in old new york
i'd cross the world for you
who the yieldless quotient of red lights stall out
just to be with you
( i want to )
and show you what i know
( i'm alright )
i'll show you what i know
and if we make it there
we'll make it anywhere

"Touched"
words and music by phil valencia
she can recall it well
excellent times filled with love but
they're so far now
and you know it's a shame
and in no way did chance just leave it to itself
a high school love
impossible to challenge
always together
always a gift left to give
lady luck got her chance
drew a ticket to the dance
a high suit card
impossible to manage
and she knows what she gets
she knows what she gives
but it's old
when she gets down
he's got the only touch she knows
he's got the only touch she longs to know
to know
to know
whatcha gonna do with it once you find it?
how are you gonna know where it comes from
once you find it?
at four o'clock in the morning
when she gets home from the horror story
and there's so much to say
but the sun's on its way
and it's cold
when she gets down
he's got the only touch she knows
he's got the only touch she longs to know
to know
to know
whatcha gonna do with it once you find it?
how are you gonna know where it comes from
once you find it?
ooh it's your chance
it's your chance to know
it's your chance to glow
high school's over
and though we've grown
it's all gone to chance in those arms
when she gets down
he's got the only touch she knows
he's got the only touch she longs to know
to know
to know - Track Name: Flat

"Flat"
words and music by phil valencia
sweet love have you lost your mind?
sober up and say goodnight
cheap love is not hard to find
he sold you what you'd never buy
( do it like that, do it like that )
you don't have to go
you don't have to leave me flat
( do it like that, do it like that )
you don't have to go
you don't have to leave
beaten up
have we crossed the line?
the line between your alibis? oh
kid gloves
suckered from behind
i'm cold and out
you take the prize
( do it like that, do it like that )
you don't have to go
you don't have to leave me flat
( do it like that, do it like that )
you don't have to go
you don't have to leave me flat
but nothing feels as good...
( do it like that, do it like that )
you don't have to go
you don't have to leave me flat
( do it like that, do it like that )
sweetness can we just rewind?
you said you were forever mine
good love is so hard to find
so close your mouth and change your mind!
( do it like that, do it like that )
you don't have to go
you don't have to leave me flat
( do it like that, do it like that )
you don't have to go
you don't have to leave me flat
flat..flat...flat......oh....

"If You Want To See Love"
words and music by phil valencia
the good times we never had
have got you somber and feeling down
and i don't know why
it seems so clear to me
that
if you want to see love
if you want to
look around
here we go
a shoulder to lean on when times are too intense
i'm back in my bottle when i walk this fence and
all this time and i don't know why
this thought just came to me
if you want to see love
if you want to see love
if you want to see love
if you want to, yeah, see love
look around
( come on, come on, come along, come on )
look around - it's love...
good times are never had
it's got you somber and feeling down
and i don't know why
it seems so clear to me
if you want to see love
if you want to see love
if you want to see love - if you, if you
if you want to, yeah, see love
come on
come along
here we go
come on
come one and all
here we go
i wanna see love
i wanna see love
i wanna see love
i wanna see love - Track Name: Drove Her Out

"Drove Her Out"
words and music by phil valencia
i saw the day
i saw the night
i blessed my head in blinded rite
you asked me how
i could believe
you were the one i saw in the vision of blue
i saw in a vision of blue
you sought me out
you taught me power
you'd twist my arm
you'd take me in
and you showed me how
showed me how i'd never be anything again
i drove around
drove her out
i drove her out
i drove around
drove her out
i didn't mean what i said
and it's not like i planned to deceive her
it's only fair that i should want her now
she looked the same
in urban gown
blowing cityskirt
dressed in the round
i stole the power
you showed me how
i didn't leave anything in return
i drove around
drove her out
i drove her out
i drove around
drove her out
i didn't mean what i said
and it's not like i planned to deceive her
it's only fair that i should want her now
( can we get it back? can we get it back? )
i drove around
drove her out
i drove her out
i drove around
drove her out
i didn't mean what i said
and it's not like i planned to deceive her
and in the end it turned out i freed her
it's only fair that i should want her now - Track Name: In A Note

"In A Note"
words and music by phil valencia
no tale to tell ..

i don't want to aggravate
i don't want to fight again
know if there's any way
note: take care love, bye bye sweetie pie..
well, right on yeah
she gets going on time
i woke up too late, yeah
i woke to a dull tapping all around me
turned the other cheek and
rolled around in pain
ain't no tale to tell and all i have to say, yeah
what you want
what you think this is
you've got another thing coming
what you want
and what you think this is
you've got another thing coming, baby
yeah yeah
no tale to tell...
my lover left me a note
it's over
and i'm afraid
i don't want to aggravate
don't want to fight again
truth, unsigned, don't make a lie

give me something to write on, yeah!
what you want
what you think this is
you've got another thing coming

"The Speed of Love"
words and music by phil valencia
she got in me
moved that dirt into me, yeah
and with a backlit smile, oh
moved right in me just like caffeine
when she got ahold of blood
she'd make me feel the speed of love
now i'm so inclined
it's such a good ride
and when we do the do
it's such a good time
oh, right there
you make me feel the speed of love
watch her go
watch her glide by, yeah - but hold on!
she got at me
fused that skin with discrete amphetamine desire
moved right through me without talking to me
without care or design or refinement laid me
hard on the ground with a sound that made me
feel like the rush of the gods
relayed me straight into her arms
she got ahold of blood
she'd make me feel the speed of love
she got ahold of blood
she'd make me feel the speed of love - Track Name: Word Merchant

"Word Merchant"
words and music by phil valencia
what's in a love song
and how are we going to live now?
words on the throat floor
how are we going to live now?
words under lights, for sale, i'll buy
will she loan or lease her love?
no matter how i buy i still owe her
if she knows i need her love
no matter how i buy...
what's in a word's art-alphabetical plough?
what's in the third song?
how we gonna live now?
words under lights, for sale, i'll buy
will she loan or lease her love?
no matter how i buy i still owe her
if she knows i need her love
no matter how i buy...
what's in a life's song?
occam's razor dulled down
what's in a word's art?
and how we going to live now
were only love for sale i'd buy
i know words impossible to speak
but i know
that words can break through without sound
and i know
you're the only word i want to say
when i get through the day
and i'm downstairs
dreaming
away
will she loan or lease her love?
no matter how i buy i still owe her
if she knows i need her love
no matter how i buy...
how i buy
how i buy
how i buy
how i buy
