As my country drifted away
As my country drifted away
I got Stoned!
Stoned!
And then the world just melted away
then the world just melted away
We were alone
alone
People Talk
They Should scream
about the incredible Horrors
while coke machines
beg and plead
for you to try the original taste
The storm has become out of control
The storm has become out of control
we must go
go!
Oh no!

Rookie

You never we’re supposed to meet me
When I was a young rookie
big eyes on an open see
Salvations out of reach
Surfs up on a sinking beach
too deaf to hear the speech
no room for questions when you feel like a bother
and voices they don’t mean anything
learning these lessons get hard and harder
waiting for the day to begin
learning the same ones all over again
learning them all over again
you never got a chance to meet me
when I was a young Rookie
sly drunk and selfishly
took a ride on The great highway
for one more get away
packed up my yesterdays
growing up, I felt like a bother
my life could become anything
now in the mornings I just sound like my father
And look at my life in the sink
learning these lessons getting hard and harder
waiting for the night to begin
and learning the same ones all over again
learning them all over again

Reno Nights

Feeling philosophic as I’m sitting by the window pane
roses sit and drink the rain
He drove and el camino and they met in a casino
they quickly fell in love and they got married there in reno
the future was bright, they stayed up all night
Are you scared?
Are you lonely?
Is being all grown up what you wanted to be?
Listen to me!
Are you tired?
Are you worried?
Is is hard growing distant from family?
I know it can be
Tequila, limes, a few hard lines
working at the counter
getting out of middle age still looking for her power
fluorescents were bright
she loved those Reno nights
Are you scared?
Are you lonely?
Is being all grown up what you wanted to be?
Listen to me!
Are you tired?
Are you worried?
Is is hard growing distant from family?
I know it can be
They stayed away thinking what the world would be when they woke up
decided they don’t give a fuck
Feeling philosophic as I’m sitting by the window pane
roses sit and drink the rain

I’m losing touch with my creator
I’m losing touch with everybody I see
I’m losing touch with my creator
All my sense of reality
I’m calling out from 15 million miles away
If you can’t keep the faith then somebodies gonna take your place
I’m losing touch with my creator
I’m losing touch with everybody I see
I’m losing touch with my creator
All my sense of reality
If it ain’t too much
tell me why I’m losing touch

Living In Your Mind

I never got to say goodbye
warned you more than a thousand times
Any time or any day
I wanna call you up and say
that I hope that your ok I hope you’re doing fine
Living in your mind
Sitting on your shoulders when we dance
Shaking all the fringe on your pants
Now I can’t comprehend
This wasn’t part of the plan
I don’t understand yours ways I don’t get your whys
Living in your mind
All the while it still hurts
Echoes of the voice of a crying nurse
Don’t ever be afraid
To leave the good for the great
And don’t you forget to appreciate the time
Living in your mind
So i guess it seems
You’re living in a castle in you’re dreams
you went on ahead
and we stayed behind
Living in your mind

Eric Silverman Oakland, California
Eric Silverman conjures high desert spirits on his latest LP. Stay In It feels equally at home in 2022 as it might in 1972, evidenced by nods to After The Gold Rush-era Neil Young, Jonathan Wilson, and The War on Drugs. The singer-songwriter trucked Jerry Garcia’s old console to the desert to embrace the analog. ... more

Entire album is excellent. As is the rest of the catalog. Go back to 1970...take the Dead and Floyd and roll them up. Yet completely different. Just plain old GOOD MUSIC.
