Dog
I'm following the boy, running by the church
chasing his dog for all hes worth
sitting there a man
catching the sun
Say "there goes me when I was young"
Lady in the park
Painted like a bird
Comatose lust of a rented girl
she lost something nameless
hes losing his friend
that dog will run like the world has no end
Down by the willow tree
we all hide under the willow tree
see her aching to kiss his red face
Dont let it get you down
an act of human kindness
somehow got behind us
Dark clouds around
you just keep on smiling
at the silver lining
boy crowing at the sky,
unintelligible words
sense of helplessness we watch
crop circle sensations
white crayon in mud
somebody somewhere sees what we have done
down by the willow tree
we all hide under the willow tree
no i dont understand
but im ready to lend you my hand
Dont let it get you down
an act of human kindness
is coming back to bite us
you turn your jacket inside out
its made of un-stitched bindings
and a silver lining
its all about the timing

Pretty Little Things

these are the broken lights
these are the traffic signs
these are the pretty little things this is what they bring,
there is a silence here
these are the folks you know
they'll watch you as you grow,
they will see you standing
standing tall
these are the books I've read
be careful what you put in your head
it stays around til your back in the ground
And it's a weight around my neck
im wearing it like a crown chemicals do there rounds
dangerous close to insane
But there is a hook there is a line
one inch in my eye so stay here by my side
and listen to the driving rain
im really glad you came
these are hard fought lows
this is an ill got good
there is a ladder on the wall
i been on every rung
im shaking my fist as i fall
counting every hair on your head
trying make a tally of what is left
cause all the rest
up and left
and it's a weight around my neck
wearing it like a crown
hope it dont bring you down
dangerously close to insane
but there's a hole there is a line
one inch in my eye so stay here by my side
listen to the driving rain
im really glad you came
and you wake in the dark of a dream
keep your head, but you cant find your feet
and you know, you could tell all your friends that were all gonna die
on the way to the grave you could set them all on fire
my love i will wait for you like a dog at the gate
these are the broken lights
these are the traffic signs
losing my feeling
like falling asleep in the snow
these are the books that ive read
be careful what you put in your head
it stays around til your back in the ground
and its a weight around my neck
wearing it like a crown
hope it dont bring you down
dangerously close to insane
there is a hole there is a line
one inch from my eye so stay here by my side
listen to the driving rain
im really glad you came

Night Map

On my third attempt of walking through the wall
got my nose out of joint
theres a lesson here I'm sure
I want to love you but its getting hard
Hard.... following our night maps in the dark
Someones pulling our strings
Im jumping all the time
you dont blink at nothing
a plastic hand thats clutching ice
dont want to hurt you but I think I might try
trying is always half the fun
(The fun the fun the fun)
somewhere in my mind its already done
how my mind bullets fizz
and they hit their mark
your plastics melting and your tears they will run
I am your father now I am no longer your son
I can feel it inside your weakness
I touched your heart
Our night maps are redrawn....

White Weapon

white weapon
another year has come
a year has gone
another trip survived around the sun
keep me together with a paperweight
a folded man afraid to drift away
im happy here in my electric chair
fumbling in the dark
one hand on my heart and that
white weapon
took a long time to make only a moment to break
every year i try to shake it off
the fear i'll lose the things my father lost
setting fire to his paper planes
he always destroys the things he makes
happy their in his upholstery chair
he is never gonna put it down
fingers tight around that
white weapon
took a long time to make only a moment to break
that white weapon

Total Control

getting diamonds out of stones
woman I can hardly wait
for the edges to erode
were making our escape
my mouth is raw its been talking so long
hesitating on the edge
Were looking through the looking glass
just let the hours come and pass
love is a terrible truth
gotta let it go
total control
getting closer as we go
woman you are out of your mind
is that how you got untied
can you unravel mine
my heart is sore its been pounding so long
stuttering like a horse at the gates
were looking through the looking glass
just let the hours come and pass
love is a terrible truth
gotta let it go
total control
Im watching the sky im letting it go let it pass me by
shes letting it lie shes already gone
just let sleeping dogs

Michael Mooney Montréal, Québec
"Michael Mooney manages to echo Brian Wilson, The Beatles at their most psychedelic and Radiohead, all the while carving his
own sonic identity amongst those apparent influences. [...] The four songs (and interlude) that make up Another World’s Sun are uniformly fantastic, leaving us eager to hear what’s next for this guy." ****
