"CITIES OF GOLD"
by Brandon Garcia
adapted from work by Haim Saban and Shuki Levy
I can take you to the cities of gold
Back to arcadia
Back to the memory
of the one that got away
I can take you to the yellow brick road
Way back in time immemoria
A former glory or
Another story that they told us
Is there an answer to the mystery
Am I buried in the past
if I'm holding on to history?
(on the path of Viracocha)
I keep believing what I don't see
(I can feel it, yeah I know we're getting closer)
Someday we will find the cities of gold
Children of the sun
Someday soon you're going to find
That your destiny
holds the secret
holds the key
I can take you to the cities of gold
Back to arcadia
Back to the memory
the one that got away
I can take you to the yellow brick road
Back to arcadia
Back to the memory
the one that got away
I can take you to the legends of old
Back to arcadia
You know you won't escape from the
Cities of gold

BARBARIANS
Words and music by Brandon Garcia
Head in a box (http://www.themonitor.com/articles/martha-43546-hernandez-mexican.html)
Head in the sand
that’s live and dying on a borderland
Head in a box
Head in the sand
say a word and you’re a dead man
Head in a box
A crack in the dam
It’s spilling over the Rio Grande
Don't want your head in a box?
Just stick it back in the sand
safe and secure in the home sweet homeland
Head in a box
Head in the sand
(blood on my hands)
Blood money for
the name brands
A man of the law
A foe or my friend
Everybody's a barbarian
Deport the alien
and confiscate
the contraband
and call it a day
Now look who you got knocking at the gate
knock knock knock
knocking at the gate
Paid to parade
Pretend to patrol
Protect the border by remote control
Debate and detain
you lie and deny
you point your rifle at the wrong guy
Head like a hole
I’m selling my soul
Smoke a bowl and
Forget what I know
Law of demand
Demand and supply
People die so
I can get high
Law of supply
Supply and demand
has made me a barbarian

FREEWAY
Music and lyrics by Brandon R. Garcia
I was driving home one night
and I came across the little road
andI wondered: What's down there?
What would I find?'
I know
I know I don't belong out here
I know that I should turn around
But I ain't switching gears
No no no
CHORUS
The right way
is always the highway
Drive straight, follow the signs
Tonight I'll take my chance on the freeway
Leaving wrong and right behind
I know
I know I could be home by now
I know I'm wasting precious gas
but life's too fast to
take it slow
SPOKEN:
There's something I've been looking for my whole life
And I don't know what it is
Or what it's called
or how to find it
But when I do find it
I'll know
I'll know
CHORUS
My way
may be the wrong way
too late to see the light
you can change your lane on the freeway
lay it all on the center line
(BREAK)
the right way
is always the highway
Drive straight, follow the signs
Tonight I'll roll my dice on the freeway
Leaving win or lose behind
One way
Running on empty
Headlights losin' the fight
You always know when you on the freeway
when they ain't no guiding light
You ain't alone when you on a freeway
when they ain't no sign of life

PHIL ATIO
Words and music by Brandon Garcia
I've been looking for Phil Atio
at a supersonic ratio
I've been looking for Phil Atio
at a supersonic ratio
Cockblocking my kilo
Speedo
Blueballing my libido
Hard hippie in a hollow
Swallow
Tough act for you to follow
Lock and load in my limo
Bimbo
Do a line, do a limbo
'Cause the grass grows
for the gringo
and the blood runs
like a rio
I've been looking for Phil Atio
at a supersonic ratio
I've been looking for Phil Atio
at a supersonic ratio
Pop a top and my cherry-o
White gold
Daddy-o blow a mother lode
Broke back in the rodeo
Dogie-o
Buck bare like a bronco
My love is a glove
My kitten is a mitten
And if your fist don't fit
I'm-a have to acquit ya
I've been looking for Phil Atio
If you see his face
you better let me know

LOVE IN HIGH DEFINITION
Words and music by Brandon R. Garcia
Love in high definition
Can give you a cardiac condition
But it gets my satellite in position
And it puts my right heart back in remission
Re-activate
My plug and play mate
Trolling for tricks late I
chomp at the bit rate
And palpitate
like Pontius Pilate
insert the update
and program the penetrate
Blind date
So why wait
And my phone is set on vibrate
Let's migrate upstate
to truncate
your tailgate
Commisserate
Scrape the plate
Vacate
Sedating my soul
and my heart rate
My soul and my heart rate
Love in high definition
Can give you a cardiac condition
But it gets my satellite in position
And it puts my right heart back in remission
Love in high definition
Can give you countdown to ignition
You never know what you'll find
in transmission

A Shadow World
Words and music by Rebecca Hayley-Zamudio
Additional lyrics by Brandon R. Garcia
Just the other day
Your shadow came turned to me and said
Look the other way
What you see as wrong
Feels so right to me
So long as no one tells
Chorus
We’re livin’ in a strange world
A shamed world
A world of shadow truths
We just keep walkin’ blind
Behind the lies
Afraid of what we’ll find
Living in a strange world….
Living in a shamed world…
Living in a strange world
Living in a shamed world
Living in a shadow world.
Chorus
We’re livin’ in a strange world
A shamed world
A world of shadow truths
We just keep walkin’ blind
Behind the lies
Afraid of what we’ll find
Living in a strange world….
Living in a shamed world…
Living in a strange world
Living in a shamed world
Living in a… shadow world.
What had been built for two
Was now torn in three.
Three hollow lives
Where no one ever tells ever tells
My life’s no longer mine
There’s nothing left to divide.
What had been built for two
Was now torn in three
Three hollow lives
Chorus
We’re livin’ in a strange world
A shamed world
A world of shadow truths
We just keep walkin’ blind
Behind the lies
Afraid of what we’ll find
Living in a strange world….
Living in a shamed world…
Living in a strange world
Living in a shamed world
Living in a shadow world.

Second Chances
02:48
|

When the lord came back
on that third day
he told us sinners led astray
"Let's go, let's go"
Yeah you fucked up
but I ain't mad
Just remember who to thank for second chances
When Jesus said the next Friday
you never hear a word I say
"Oh no, not so"
Yeah Satan's got me by the balls
but I remember who to thank
for second chances
(CHORUS)
He gives me mercy
I give him hell
He's stuck with my court fees
No matter how high
they set the bail
he won't abandon me
The when the sun went down on Saturday
I knew I couldn't stay away
Oh no stay home
The lord is going to flip a shit
but I never could resist
the devil's dances
When Sunday morning rolled around
he picked my face up off the ground
he's pissed I know
He'll whip my sorry ass this time
Leave me lying here like this
without glance back
(CHORUS 1X)

STARING AT THE SEA
(Words and music by Brandon Garcia)
You're watching from the wasteland, you're
Staring at the sea
You want to be a real man
Then come with me
You're looking for a reason
A day without a doubt
You're ship is running late
You want out
Out of here
Without a care
This ain't a home
I've got nowhere
Battle here
Battle there
Rather die than live so scared
CHORUS:
They call
The blind we must lead
Stand tall
So they may see
Been standing on the same sand
Since you and me were young
Let's grab our shit and go, man
The last bell's rung
If living in the real world
means standing on this shore
How will we ever know
what we stand for?
Set the lure
Cast the reel
I'll take the bait
if that's the deal
Sink or swim
I am aware
But it's a burden
I must bear
CHORUS
They call
The blind we must lead
Stand tall
So they may see
BRIDGE:
I'll be staring at the sea
Till you come back, you come back home
to me
The tide will turn
We shall be
(PIANO SOLO)
We shall be free
(They call, the blind we must lead)
You fall and I will lead
(They fall, the blind we must lead)
Under the sea
Come back
Come back
Come back home
The light will lead you
back home
I believe
So small
the lives that we lead
Breathe deep
It's meant to be

"SOONER THAN YOU THINK"
Words and music by Brandon Garcia
Adapted from guitar arrangement by Tyler Ward of "E.T." by Katy Perry, Lukasz Gottwald, Max Martin and Joshua Coleman
Sooner than you think
I'll be going far
I won't always be looking for change in my car
I'll be roaming the range
Instead of wasting my days at the same bar
Sooner than you think
I'll have had enough
Won't let you off so easy if you treat me rough
Won't let you get your way just 'cause you're talking tough
I'm going to be showing you I'm made of the right stuff
CHORUS:
Sooner than you think
Things are going to change
A change is going to come and sweep me away
(How long do I have to wait? How long can I really wait?)
Sooner than you think
Sooner or later
Better than nothing is better than never
Leave the pain in the past
(Wash it out with the rain)
Lay down the blame
Sooner than you think
Miss it if you blink
There's water everywhere
Not a drop to drink
Hope floats
Don't be drowning when your boat sinks
Little king
Lost your crown back on the brink
(You gotta get up, man up, stay up)
I gotta get
(get over my hang-up)
Every time I think
I start to have a clue
I do a lot of damage that I don't mean to
(And yet there's so much)
So much that I won't get around to
(What about my dreams?)
What will they amount to?
Don't care about the gold
Don't care about the glory
I just want the guts to tell my story
(How long do I have to wait?)
How long can you make me wait?
(CHORUS 1X)
