Carried Away
(A.Ruffcorn)
summer to fall, and to no avail
you say please call, please send me mail
you're wanting me to come home
you're carrying on, and carrying off
I'm carried away from hearing you scoff
you're wanting me to come home
you're never gonna make it, living on your own
I'll try my best to make it, to your lovely home
just seems that you just can't take it, living on your own
we'll meet beneath the blanket, of your lovely home
fall down to winter, and to no avail
goodbye to sweet autumn's veil
you're wanting me to come home
blistering cold and frozen faced
I'm trying to make it to your warmest place
you're wanting me to come home
you're never gonna make it, living on your own
I'll try my best to make it, to your lovely home
just seems that you just can't take it, living on your own
we'll meet beneath the blanket, of your lovely home
spring's coming on, winter's long gone dead
I'm still on my way, so don't worry your head
you're wanting me to come home
I'm carried away, and to no avail
you say I'm here, the pace of a snail
you're wanting me to come home

The Noise
(A.Ruffcorn)
the noise wears on the source
and a choice to give in to need's force
as I ponder alone, plans underfoot
take to the sky, give in to what?
what makes you happy?
everything around me
what
drives you crazy?
it's on teevee
what makes you happy?
everyone around me
what drives you crazy?
it's on teevee
quiet, in effect of ear's ring
it's wisdom bullets just grazing
the purities catch my eye
walking by, heartfelt, but why?
'cause it makes me happy
everything around me
what drives you crazy?
it's on teevee
what makes me happy?
everything around me
what drives me crazy?
you know it's teevee
we killed the teevee today
and we got to grinning
we killed the teevee today
and we've got a beginning
yeah, we killed the teevee today
it's time to celebrate
yeah, we killed the teevee today
we've got time to celebrate
we killed the teevee
we killed the teevee
we killed the teevee
the noise wore on the source
and the chores are easier than before
as I ponder alone, plans underfoot
take to the sky, give in to what?
what makes you happy?
everything around me
what
drives you crazy?
it's on teevee
what makes you happy?
everyone around me
a return to reality
as we killed the teevee

Smiley
(A.Ruffcorn)
fear of death
pursuit of money
why am I the only one
who thinks it's funny
here I sit
without much money
why am I the only one
who thinks he's happy
and so it goes
so it goes away
frozen are my toes
and the pain has gone away
fear of failure
pursuit of passion
why am I the only one
who's out of fashion
here I sit
without much clothing
why am I the only one
who seems to be smiling
and so it goes
so it goes away
frozen are my toes
and the pain has gone away

Shoes
(A.Ruffcorn)

but I am going to

I've got you
but what would it be to want
but not to have you

but what would it be to seek
but not to find you
I want you
so hurry home
and grab your shoes
it's time to run away
from our blues
I understand

but I am going to
I want you

Photographic Memory
(A.Ruffcorn)
I’ve got a photographic memory, I use it all the time
helps me to get by the board, I swear it aint no crime
smarter than the rest of ants a climbing up the hill
I’ve gotta see it first or else I’m sitting standing still
gotta find a way home, looking for the right stone
digging up the smart bones, checking construction zones
gotta find the right she, photographic memory
digging for the right year, checking all the light years
gotta find a free zone, running from the weightroom
pulling it along some, bringing all the grocery home
gotta find a mouse-trap, photographic artifact
digging for the right year, chugging all the light beer
I’ve got a photographic memory I use it all the time
helps me to remember you, forget your name just fine
smarter than the malcontents just sitting on the hill
I’ve gotta see it first or else I’m standing sitting still
gotta find a way home, looking for the right stone
digging up the smart bones, checking construction zones
gotta find the right she, photographic memory
digging for the right year, checking all the light years
gotta find a free zone, running from the microphone
pulling it along some, bringing all the grocery home
gotta find a mousetrap, photographic artifact
I’ve got a photographic memory
I’ve got a photographic memory
I’ve got your photo right in front of me
for my photographic memory

Stuck in Memphis
(A.Ruffcorn)
long distance information, get me a girl named Carey
help me find the pretty thing trying to get in touch with me
Lyders is her last name and I know she placed a call
I'm trying to get back to her, I like her best of all
help me information, to get in touch with my Carey
she's the only one who'd phone me here from channel ten t.v.
her home is on the southside, in the German Village
just a half mile from the Olentangy bridge
help me information, more than that I cannot add
only that I miss her and all the fun that we had
but we were pulled apart 'cause the way things are
torn apart our first full year, but in love near or far
the last time that I saw Carey, she was waving me goodbye
with hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
Carey's only twenty-five, information please
try to put me through, I'm stuck in Memphis, Tennessee

Tale of the One-Stringed Guitar
(A.Ruffcorn)
he woke up
the morning yester
and felt he needed something
he walked down
to the local pawn
bought a guitar with one string
I love you so
I love you so
he set out
to correct it
in pursuit of some more strings
in the end
he found that
he was happy with the one string

No Ma'am That's Who I Am
(A.Ruffcorn)
and so you change the range
assaulting the environment
trapped in salt mines
for tomorrow
so your pain will reign
flee the strain of it all
escape the rage
until tomorrow, so
I'm wondering just how salty
your tears for me will be
sitting up in a tree
kissing the queen bee
so you change the range
assaulting the environment
trapped in salt mines
for tomorrow

Smarter than Last
(A.Ruffcorn)
this year I think I'm smarter than last
next year I'll think this year was disaster
of my mind, it's getting harder to find
a way to make this brain work better each time
come on, boy and girls
you're not smart
until you are dead!
come on, boy and girls
you're not smart
until you're dead!
next year I'll think I'm smarter than now
therefore I"ll rhyme now with now, now
speaking too soon, yeah, doomed to resume
agressive regressive, the name of our tune
come on, boys and girls
you're not smart
until you are dead!
come on, boy and girls
you're not smart
until you're dead!
losing my mind more with each coming year
logic leaking out my mouth, ringing your ears
counting the inverse, we think we're so smart
but we're not, so please do your part
come on, boy and girls
you're not smart
until you are dead!
come on, boy and girls
you're not smart
until you're dead!
come on, boy and girls
you're not smart!

Kissing Your Face
(A.Ruffcorn)
if you'd ever see me
called to what I gotta do
you won't be seeing me
seems that it might free me
for all that I might do
still I'll be loving you
going to the war today
join up, join up, right away
polish up my sharpness, love
just know
if I should die
I will return
from above
I'll be kissing your face
at dinner, sitting in my place
grace be told, napkins unfold
simple loves in our arms we hold
I'll be kissing your face
an embrace without a trace
your tears come down, to the ground
to where my body is buried now
if you'd ever see me
called to what I gotta do
you won't be seeing me

Little Snail
(A.Ruffcorn)
little snail

I know that in/on the end, a victory will do us in
we've got find another rhyme, and got to find a probably
got to find another right, and bleach and steam and find the light
got to find another sister, brother, father, mother, lover
kissing bride, you'll find the time, you gotta go to vegas light
see the Danny Ganz, fine, and finally see the funny guy
little snail
where is your tail
where is your tail
little snail
where is your tail

Be My Best Friend
(A.Ruffcorn)
I know I'll never meet a girl like you
I don't even want to look, it's true
but reciprocal is typical, suffice it to say
be my best friend, take me all the way
you're telling me, you're yelling me
you're pleading me, but bleeding me
the animosity in me, is freed each time you're mean to me
approaching me, you're coaching me
you're teaching me, but bleaching me
the quiet seams might not be seen, this steam building inside of me

Nothing to Do With
(A.Ruffcorn)
I want what you got
you want, but I'm not
I got, but you want
nothing to do with
me

unless you're giving it to me

Love You So
(A.Ruffcorn)
hit in the head so hard
every day we are together
Mike Davis said it'd be sunny
what's with the stormy weather?
first you say it'll be high
then you say it'll low
I've gotta go with barometer
along with all that she knows
sugar smacked and candy panted
power packed and dandy canted
love you so
love you so
sugar smacked and candy panted
power packed and dandy canted
love you so
love you so
hit in the head so hard
every day we are together
water down the significance of
breaking the neck of nature
at first you think that they're friends
some hoods breaking it down
I've gotta go with Old Man this time
and along with his frown
sugar smacked and candy panted
power packed and dandy canted
love you so
love you so
sugar smacked and candy panted
power packed and dandy canted
love you so
love you so

Prime Meridian
(A.Ruffcorn)
see sixty moons, I will be strange
and Prime Meridian starts the days
superior subordinate, and rightfully so
betwixt anchor-death and beautiful beau
for sail, and drown
for fly, fall down
for try, and burn
for fail, you learn
for sail, and drown
for fly, fall down
for try, and burn
for fail, you learn
see sixty moons, I will be bathed
and Prime Meridian paves the way
stray nautically across oblivion's sea
betwixt anchor-death and beautiful me
for sail, and drown
for fly, fall down
for try, and burn
for fail, you learn
for sail, and drown
for fly, fall down
for try, and burn
for fail, you learn
see sixty moons, I will be astray
and Prime Meridian times the day
mathematically eliminated, as it goes
betwixt anchor-death and bloodied nose
for sail, and drown
for fly, fall down
for try, and burn
for fail, you learn
for sail, and drown
for fly, fall down
for try, and burn
for fail, you learn
