Hey up there / do you see me? / way down here / at my rock bottom / took the bad road / avoided the signs / ...and the advice / now I'm growing my fingernails long / to dig my way out / now I'm growing my fingernails long / to dig my way out / and everyone is angry / that I've nothing to give / talk behind my back / bout how stupid I've been / ... and for every winner / theres gonna be / someone / to lose it all / oh it's a pity / you're so ashamed / just look away / I've heard enough / I told you so's / it is what it is / lets call it consequence
2.
Sacrifices / that you've made / caused by a / selfless agenda / so I've been told ... you can't escape what is home / just so you know / it's never too late to hope / I've never felt so alive / I've never felt so deprived / when your mistakes become mine apologies can never compete / with respect you're owed and have yet to recieve / I'm aware that I was ignorant / what I wouldn't give to go back / so many harmful thoughts to retract
3.
Fill me in / I wanna know / fill me in / I wanna know / whats making you so sure that you can say forever you and I both know / people's feelings change / so how can you / be so sure to say forever / to claim forever don't get me wrong / I'm so happy / for you both don't get me wrong / but fill me in / I gotta know Whats making you / so sure / I think... / I think you're brave and Optimistic / Todays the Day / I think you're brave

Backslider 02:36
Bended knee / nine years old / waitin' for.../ just one word! I was thinkin' of all the things / my daddy told me of sin and salvation and / manhood and dignity... all that time / in the dark / just one word...backslider! I remember the day I stepped / into the water my daddy held me in his hands / and pushed my head under / and said... son I am / so proud. / just one word...backslider! well I opened my eyes / and my daddy held me in his hands I looked up through the water / and thought I saw Jesus, and then... well I threw up my hands! and I heard, Amen! / and I prayed, sweet Jesus don't let me become a backslider!
5.
Wondering if you thought twice / about anything in your life wondering if you thought twice / about anything in your life did you think news wouldnt' reach my ears? i'm educated and my resources / are nearly unlimited you said you've got yourself a ghost far fetched imagination you must have / to think that I'd be had I'm amused / it's clear! .. neglect was a factor in the courtroom's decision making process I ... I wont deny / I ... I dropped the dime and if I had a dollar / I'd do it ten more times drop off the face of the earth / I wont lose sleep at night (Originally performed by GERALDO! now Foreign Theaters)

the last time i checked i was in over my head looking for the shore now with dicipline, and direction. ... i'm finding hope in what i love this is all i think about coz this is all i care about but i can only speak for me. i despise being seated with a point of pride whats yours and mine in the falling sands.. I'm drawing the line with the sun and the moon. in our eyes when the book is closed is it just how we spent our time? is it the sweat? is it the Drives? I think its the people we meet that get us by get us by point of pride whats yours and mine the falling sands drawing the line get us by is it the sweat is it the drives this is all i think about coz this is all i care about. i care about

Bob Farley 03:17
The fact that your heart is in this is enough for me to give my everything if only for your respect stuck in a rut filled with things tossed in to hold me back you were my strength pulling me into the sun where their light can shine through me and with some guidance this just may begin to build up and we'll keep taking the steps striding long enough for the both of us and in doing so slowly reaping what you've sown because all Progression is is LOVE + Intention its the passion that leads us in your direction we're not making a difference just making music lets start etching the statements to end all the nonsense hard work / dedication changing whats respected what seperates us from those people is a distance from art and these motives a displacement from standard viewpoints and a knowledge of whats real

Braindart 00:52
just look at what it's come to I cannot believe my eyes and ears I know just what they're up to and it's taking them years to put us where they want us cowering in fear not enough of us pay attention and we won't and we won't (b.iowa) and we won't and we won't (b.iowa) we won't believe the truth
9.
and just like it was yesterday I remember everything oh we were young and so care free but thats just how it used to be. and when you felt it become routine I watched the end of our team a break is what we think we need to start this day new start this day clean all by ourselves no more chains just one hand tied behind destiny it's what we think we need.

Step 3 02:32
will you choke when you get called to the top of the list will you choke when you get called to the top of the list will it be too much will you choke when its' your turn when you are next will you be ready? what you don't know is that they're watching your everymove waiting for you to fuck up because they are next in line no one cares if you succeed not in this cutthroat world where everyones out for themselves and i'm wondering when you'll learn that no one cares no one cares lifes too short to be afraid why don't you stand on your two feet no one cares

about

Our RUFUS SESSIONS
happened in two recording sessions
the SINGLE
"are you there God it's me Rufus?"
which was new at the time.
and two b sides and two covers
then went back and recorded 5 songs that followed
for the rest of the RUFUS writing session
Present Day
RUFUS is now available on 10"
containing the songs that we're of the Era.
along with the GERALDO! cover "A QUESTION OF ETHICS"

also as the first release on THE GHOST IS CLEAR RECORDS
this finding its way to a 10" is serendipitous.
Thank you.
