Pastiche

My name is Carla. This is my shop.
Part my heart and most my time.
My name is Carla.

My name is Todd. I am around.
Maybe you’ve seen me walk downtown.
My name is Todd.

With Pastiche design your home.
With fun new toys for boys and girls.
A stylish world. Affordable.

Plates and cups and Freitag bags.
And fun bright colored tags.
That move and swing.
This is real art. Pastiche.

Space

I like you. You are mine.
All the time. All the time.
There are things I need to do.
And though alone, I still need you.

And sometimes I need to draw.
I need to paint. I need my space.
And I know you need the same.
And then we meet and dance and change.

Dandelions Field

I am the winner and incidentally, the most amazing.
Stare at the sky if you will.

Knick-knack paddywhack.
Send the best that you have right on back.
Days go by.

I am the winner and incidentally, the most amazing.
Stare at the sky if you will.

There are no crumbs in my milk.
Before the tigers came,
This was a dandelions field.

Knick-knack paddywhack.
Send the best that you have right on back.
Knick-knack paddywhack.
Send the best that you have right on back.

Days go by. Like a kite in the sky.
Way up high. I close my eyes.
I close my eyes. Close my eyes.

I am the winner and incidentally, the most amazing.
Stare at the sky if you will.
It was a dandelions field.

Rare Red Rainbow

We were laughing and singing.
We were dancing and singing.
While rain was coming down.
We knew it was there though we never had seen it.
The sun behind the clouds.

Like a rare red rainbow.
Like a rare red rainbow.

I was crying and waiting.
I was praying and waiting.
For love to come around.
Words tried to explain it.
Images tried to relate it.
But they didn’t know it no how.

It’s like a rare red rainbow.

Zero Field

Read about it with observations.
Don’t forget to fulfill those expectations.
The ones you feel are justified.

We’re bogged down with obligations.
All the people in our situations.
All those things we said that day were real.

Hallelujah, (Something stirs inside of me).
Hallelujah, (With every rule I break).
When God says it’s not good enough (Something stirs inside of me).
Hallelujah (When I see the pages blank).

Recover codes through conversation.
What’s the purpose in our renovations.
All those things you said to me were true.
