“3000 Stories”
(Music and lyrics by Brian López)
Voices tangled up together
Speak in tongues, and pray for better
John and Jane dance before us
On and on, into the chorus
3000 stories before us
Now buried in the sand
Voices tangled up together
Miles across Sonoron desert
Whisper wind, whisper for us
Jane is here, she wanna show us
3000 stories before us
Now married to the land
And Magdalene
She knows your name
Sweet Magdalene
She knows the
3000 stories before us
Now buried in the sand
She knows the…
3000 stories before us now
(tres mil vidas ya)
3000 faces lost in the crowd
(en la arena)
3000 stories before us now
(tres mil ya)
Buried in the sand..
Sweet Magdalene
(Sweet Magdalene)
She knows your name
(She knows your name)
She knows your name

“Like A Virus”
(Music and lyrics by Brian López)
Kiss me
Like a virus
And taste my
Languid tongue
My lover
My destroyer
Come now
Don’t be long
I found a way
To lose Myself
Tangled in your wires
I thirst for you
And no one else
A host to your desires
So kiss me
Like a virus
And sing my
Sanguine song
My lover
Oh, my killer
What have
We become?
I found a way
To lose Myself
Tangled in your wires
I thirst for you
And no one else
A host to your desires
Now I fall into your spell
Oooh, you know you move so well
Here in my cell

“Road To Avalon”
(Music and lyrics by Brian López)
Night is a savage bird of prey
Lost in the rays that arm the day
Where have all the shadows gone?
Weeping willow, lay
Ghosts that haunt and whither to
Flowers on your grave
There will be trouble on the way
I see a great big tidal wave
Pack your things and move along
Shame we cannot stay
Take the road to Avalon
Plan a great escape
Love: but a distant memory
Night is a savage bird of prey
Lost in the rays that arm the day
Oh, where have all the shadows gone?
Weeping willow, lay
Ghosts that haunt and whither to
Flowers on your grave
We can move to Avalon
Dip in Nowhere, Spain
We can keep the engine on
Plan our great escape

“Black Mountain”
(Music and lyrics by Brian López)
When I was young boy
I played with my brother
Hiding G.I Joes
In the Santa Cruz River
I look in their eyes
As I drown them
Drown them in sand
And now I’m a man
And I play with my sorrow
Masking affection
As if there’s no tomorrow, boy
Look in my eyes
And tell me
What have I done?
I’ve seen a lot of faces
I’ve seen a lot of places
The images come and they go
It’s this Black Mountain memory
I recall most
Well, I’ve seen a lot of faces
I’ve seen a lot of places
The images come and they go
It’s this Black Mountain memory
I recall most
So build up a wall
So big, and so tall
Keep them all out
Until it should fall
Just like toy figurines
Baked in the sand
Grasping for breath
So just lend us a hand
Then you look in my eyes
And tell me
What have we done?
Well, I’ve seen a lot of faces
I’ve seen a lot of places
The images come and they go
It’s this Black Mountain memory
This Black Mountain memory
That I recall most

“Margot Kidder”
(Music and lyrics by Brian López)
I’ll be your Superman
And you, my Lois Lane
Shield you from what is bad
And take away the pain
There is a shadow
Down that road
Where all the voices
Come and go
I’ll get you out of town
Where no one knows your name
No one to drag us down
Just me, and Lois Lane
There is a sadness
In her eyes
A secret language
Deep inside
I feel you all around
But now it’s not the same
I was your Superman
And you, my Lois Lane
You, my Lois Lane
You, my Lois Lane

“Looking Glass”
(Music and Lyrics by Brian López)
I could have been a prophet
Of your love
I should have been a profit
Of your love
The way your eyes declared me
You swore I hung the moon
And light was at our mercy
In the gloom
There’s a shadow hanging over me
Can’t find the man I used to be
The thrilll behind the grin
A kiss into the wind
Beyond the looking glass
I could have been a prophet
Of your love
You were the only lifeblood
Of our love
Your body echoes through me
And time, she was a fool
Now I am at her mercy
In the gloom
And I feel as if I can't go on
Lost the breath to word my favorite song
A fool behind the grin
A kiss into the Wind
Beyond the looking glass
The way her eyes declared me
She swore I hung the moon
Now light is at our mercy
In the gloom
There’s a shadow hanging over me
Can’t find the man I used to be
The thrilll behind the grin
A kiss into the wind
Beyond the looking glass
And I feel as if I can't go on
Lost the breath to word my favorite song
A man behind the grin
A kiss into the Wind
Beyond the looking glass

“Face To Face”
(Music and lyrics by Brian López)
Go fall in love while you can
This is the best thing you have
Then tell the wind
To spread the word
Be a face-to-face telegram
An ancient verse buried in the sand
The time is now
Have you heard?
Izzy was a timid spaceman
Spinning out into a place he’d never been
‘Til he caught that breeze
Closed his eyes in disbelief
Don’t it feel good this time?
So go fall in love while you can
May it be the best thing that you’ve ever had
You’ve played it cool
So make your move
Be a face-to-face telegram
A faded line scribbled on your hand
You've read the book
But do you know the words?
Sarah was a model/actress
Learning lines to forget the life she left
‘Til she caught that breeze
Closed her eyes in disbelief
Don't it feel real this time?
Alex was a racecar driver
Cutting corners to avoid his fatal crash
‘Til he caught that breeze, boy
Closed his eyes in disbelief
Don’t it feel good this time?

“Magic”
(Music and lyrics by Brian López)
Maybe it's magic
The way you make me feel
Maybe it’s magic
But it feels so real
You can pull my love out a hat
Or saw my heart and put it back
But its magic
The way you make me feel
Maybe it's Magic
The way that I love you
Maybe it’s magic
But it feels so true
You can pick my card anytime
Or stop a speeding bullet
On a dime
But it’s magic
The way that I love you
And I have seen the darkest days
Now fall behind me
Now that I’ve surrendered to your love
Life had always been so rather tragic
Without the magic
I’m speaking of
(solo)
Ahhhh, Magía
So maybe it's magic
The way you make me feel
Ya baby, it’s magic
But it seems so real
You can pull my love out a hat
Or saw my heart and put it back
But its magic
The way you make me feel

“All Souls”
(Music and lyrics by Brian López)
Knock on the wall
Inside the head
Of a laughing madman
Left there for dead
By his king and his queen
Who mutter some words
So laugh and lose your mind
Thoughts gather on
Through empty synapsis
Electrical currents
Pass through the ashes
It’s a wasteland, man
Now I can see
The laughing man is me
So I call on your name
Tell me, where have you been?
And the feeling, it strays
To the All Soul Parade
Shadows enhance
Fleeting the turn
Like an ambulance dance
Or a firework burst
Will I smell all its fury
All through the night?
Or will I just give into the fight?
The sun has now lost
Gave in to the moon
I can taste all his mercy
I’m coming down, too
It’s a battle here, man
Dark is the fear
And I don’t want to be alone
So I call on your name
Tell me, where have you been?
And the feeling, it strays
To the All Soul Parade
So I call on your name
Yes, I call on your name
Again

“Psilocybin Dream”
(Music and lyrics by Brian López)
Feels like I’m floating out to sea
A psilocybin dream
Come and crash into me
My mind absorbs the energy
The greatest tidal wave
That is what I will be
I will be
I can see you in the garden
Plotting with the Holy Ghost
What is it you're whispering now?
Lord, I feel so very close
Feels like I’m floating out to sea
The greatest tidal wave
That is what I will be
My arms embrace eternity
A psilocybin dream
Come and care
Carry me
To a place up in your garden
Where your flowers are in bloom
There is no escape for me now
Lord, I’m coming home to you
Feels like I’m floating out to sea
On the greatest tidal wave
My arms embrace eternity
And where I want to go
That is where I will be
I will be
‘Cause I can see you in my garden
Talking to my Holy Ghost
There is no escape for me now
Lord, I feel so very close
