Monday Train 03:40

MONDAY TRAIN BRENT BRANIFF AND CHAD WHEELING I took the pill and kissed your photograph You think Im stupid so I had to laugh This is all I have of you And this is what I have to do I picked the day and found this number And you know I waiting for the train You ride the Monday...Ride the Monday train Don't you know I'd wait a month of Sundays To ride a train that only runs on Mondays Most boys never look good in red They'd rather wear blue instead It's a part of me that can't get through to you... But every pill I take...Won't stop the night Won't keep the dream away....Won't trick the light Half way to heaven There's a little place I know I like to stop there...I like to feel What it's like to let go. And you know I'm waiting for the train Ride the Monday....Ride the Monday Train. Copyright 2017 Brent Braniff and Chad Wheeling

Red Star 02:25

RED STAR Brent Braniff Chad Wheeling I see apartments I see the road I hear the voice of a child alone As I sleep under a bright star A call from the hillside A call of the wild A voice from the distance, the voice of a child As I sleep under a bright star Sleep under a bright star And I’m letting it out. Letting it out again I’m letting it out. Letting it out again Please let me ride on your shoulders Held so tightly by your hands I’m so tall now. Don’t want this over Don’t want this to end. So bring back the heart beat you knew as a boy When time was a plaything And life was a toy So sound asleep under a bright star Now I grab for the wonder of wide open skies And see all the splendor with wide open eyes And I dance under a bright star Dance under a bright star Dance under a bright star Copyright 2017 Brent Braniff and Chad Wheeling

Holding Down The Fort 04:19

HOLDING DOWN THE FORT BRENT BRANIFF AND CHAD WHEELING Everything is over We're holding down the fort Once again Everyone is over We're burning down all hope Once again We're making this a refuge We're living off the cuff We're looking mighty happy But feeling mighty rough Everything is over We'll turn the tide and march Up that hill Stealing all the wonder We're holding tight 'Cause we ain't got our fill We stripped away the panic And laid to rest the fear We broadside every motion And wiped away the tears It's the sound of shadows It's the sound of living here. It's the sound of living here. Copyright 2017 Brent Braniff and Chad Wheeling

One Is You 03:07
lyrics

ONE IS YOU BRENT BRANIFF AND CHAD WHEELING I call it erotic You call it profane I say it's exotic You say I'm insane But what about us? Is that what I made you do? What about us? How can I convince you That one is two? You pray for redemption And walk into the light Take others opinion For what you do at night But what about us? Tell me what I should do? What about us? So far I can't convince you That one is two. Makes me want to run away Run away and hide Can't tell you anything I can't confide. Whispers in darkness Double means and lies Secret admissions To our desires in life Give it all up Tell me to walk away Give it all up And if I don't stay Then one is you Then one is you Then one is you Then one is you Copyright 2017 Brent Braniff and Chad Wheeling

TICKET TO MOSCOW BRENT BRANIFF AND CHAD WHEELING Starting over came to soon From right away to the seventh of June But life's a bitch and there you are Can't fly away so I'll use the car And I'll roll the window down and say goodbye to this Northern town. Buy me a ticket to Moscow I parked the car so you wouldn't wait forever Kicked up the radio...ooo I'm acting so clever So I'll wish you o so well While I'm drowning in this hell Buy me a ticket to Moscow It sent you the keys to come right home I'm cold and lonely and dying alone I'll buy you a ticket to Moscow.

Kick The Day Over 02:55

KICK THE DAY OVER BRENT BRANIFF AND CHAD WHEELING How many times must be dance together Around the same words All of this time it seems absurd We've given it more than the best of shots Are we wasting our time? Home many times do we say we're sorry Before we feel fine? I'm out of the blue And into the night I'm having the feeling That I just might Kick the Day over. I'm shaking my head Trying to feel okay Nothings worse than today I started with sunshine but came home gray. Can't help but feel I'm second rate Cause I see it in your face Talking about it would be fine But I'd still loose the race. Give me a glass and pour me a drink and I'll be on my way I've fallen before and I'll get up again So why should I stay? I'm taking on everyone That told me I'm free I'm leading on Everyone Consequently. I'm into the blue and turned on the light Still having the feeling That I just might Kick the day over.

MY SWEET INGENUE BRENT BRANIFF AND CHAD WHEELING Wanna drive to the city Land of the cheap and pretty Wanna stay in a dirt motel Wanna cover you in kisses Wanna smell your cheap cologne Want you to fuck me The leave me alone My sweet ingenue What are you gonna do My sweet ingenue What are you gonna do ooo My sweet ingenue I bought you a postcard From the local arcade To say that I'm sorry For the debt that you paid I wrote you a letter With my very own pen But I chickened out And I signed it John Glenn Ooo Not tonight Not tonight Baby not tonight You took all my letters And you threw them away Gave all the postcards To a local DJ And said you'll find all your kisses Being sold for a buck 'Cause baby you're the one Thats a dirty cheap fuck.

I'm Not Your Favorite 02:20

I'M NOT YOUR FAVORITE BRENT BRANIFF AND CHAD WHEELING Ten minutes more and I'd have had you...for sure But every word I spoke came out....a blur. I know I'm not your favorite That I figured out. I know I'm not your favorite Ooo Without a doubt. So I would drive alone on this...country road And pass your parent's house in a sorry stealthy mode. I know you're not this lonely You have boys galore But I keep hoping there'd be room...for one more Here's to the lonely Here's to the one and only The one and only Please give a passing thought to those...old and poor Maybe a little wink could you think of anymore Falling in love is for losers That's a sorry fact It's just I need the action But that's another act....

Northern Lights 04:03

NORTHERN LIGHTS BRENT BRANIFF AND CHAD WHEELING Is this a sign I'm going To where I always came To a road I've taken But I'm not the same The trees are shaking winter The boys are having fun Their eyes are filled with wonder I wish could be one Oh I wish I could be one. I've got my hopes I've got a window And every reason for my escape When the sun greets every morning I expect the world to change it's shape. In silence I may find That I can't set behind And I'll just stay here in bed The life I seem to lack Is the life I'll never get back So I'll just stay here instead.

SAVING THE WORLD BRENT BRANIFF AND CHAD WHEELING Standing on the rooftops Listening to the gunshots Falling apart at the seems Nothing is never like dreams You never knew how much I wanted To hold you near that night But I don't understand it anymore No, I don't understand it anymore If you only just open that door 'Cause I don't understand it anymore Now you wanted to save the world But no one's saving me Now you wanted to save the world Please save it for me. Please save it for me. Falling apart at the seems Nothing is ever like dreams But, I don't understand it anymore No I don't understand it anymore If only just open that door 'Cause I don't understand.

Superboy 03:22

SUPERBOY BRENT BRANIFF AND CHAD WHEELING There are few ways I can sing in praise of shirtless boys On summer days Kissed by the sun You were lead astray Running down and open road But you knew you'd pay for it in the end. Gone is the seas and the sky Don't know if I should laugh or if I should cry I'm hanging on But it won't last long 'Cause I'm superboy I'm letting go Like the setting sun I've fallen short 'Cause I'm not your son And I'm not your toy So who has lost and who has won. These long nights are weighing me down These long days are coming after Copyright 2017 Brent Braniff and Chad Wheeling

Today 04:04

TODAY BRENT BRANIFF AND CHAD WHEELING It's easy to say To the soldier in the sun That things will never go that way It's better to know That the fight is never won Than to worry about it day after day. If you never grow up Than you'll never get down When down is only here to stay You've got to see That you're the light of my world Today I'm following an emotion I've set this free right on time I'm shutting out the commotion And saying all this right on the line Somehow I never gave up Some how I never let down Cause down is nowhere I should stay If you never give up In your heart you'll know There's no silence in the world Copyright 2017 Brent Braniff and Chad Wheeling

Texting The Ex 03:48

TEXTING THE EX BRENT BRANIFF AND CHAD WHEELING We sat on a dirt road And drove in the night We said we were lovers But we weren't to bright We came into promise But we were foolish wrecks Oh sweetheart, don't text the ex You can let him know later, just don't text the ex. We broke up that morning Went are separate ways It must have meant something to me 'Cause I cried for days Was a sweeter love Or an excuse for all that sex Oh baby don't text the ex He can read about it later, just don't text the ex Oh it'll can tell you nothing Nothing I'd say or do turned out right I'm king of the highway, king of the night If my hands weren't shaking Praying for the light King of the highway, king of the night. Saw the morning sun It's what I want but never expect Oh baby, just don't text the ex He can read about it later, oh, don't text the ex Copyright 2017 Brent Braniff and Chad Wheeling

WE'LL GET YOU DOWN BRENT BRANIFF AND CHAD WHEELING You always made a hellish sound When you left the lost and found You cage me looks that it was over once again. And this time I could set you free 'Cause this is a prison door to me The panic in my word is over once again Yest it's over I can feel like getting around Yes it's over One way or not We'll get ya down You gotta pay for the hours You gotta pay for the days Just gather up your superpowers You might get your way. So make your distance dear from me From sea to shining crystal sea 'Cause I'll bet this night's not over once again So it's over And I can hear your hellish sound Yes it's over One way or not I'm climbing down Copyright 2017 Brent Braniff and Chad Wheeling
