Wicked Wind-#scarysongs for #halloween (feat. #indieartist @jimmy_image )

The Sonic Dream Believers 2025-10-17 | #horrorsong #tornado #hurricane #storm #indiemusic #wind

An #indierock Halloween song about the arch-nemesis of humanity, Wicked Wind. Who will save us when the Wicked Wind spins her sickening sins?

Written by Kevin Troutman and James Zito 2018/2025, Wicked Wind is an adaptation of a Troutman lyric poem titled "Sharp Wind"

Lyrics:

Wicked Wind knows

that she runs the show

blows apart your life

before you even know;

unattached to Time,

Wicked Wind always blows -

searching for a killing season...

don't give Wicked Wind any reason

Wicked Wind blows through choking dust dunes

on the dark side of a werewolf's moon...

baby, if you open the windows

you'll let Wicked Wind in the room

Wicked Wind sees

you're weak and she follows

blows into your mind

on a tornado

anytime you move,

Wicked Wind also blows -

seizin' on a soul that's freezin'...

sees your life as just an act of treason

Wicked Wind croons the whirlpool swoon

of a back porch voodoo blues tune

baby, if you open the front door

she'll blow in stale as a tomb

Wicked Wind knows the ways to en- tice,

her blade is so sharp, it will slice you up good;

Wicked Wind's cloaked in a cape that is so nice,

the ones who are smart know what's under her hood...

Wicked Wind comes

and your fingers numb

and you can't form the chords

when you sit and strum;

swirlin' toxic dust,

Wicked Wind hurls a gust

with a force there is no appeasin'...

She'll hurt you, and she'll find it pleasin'

Wicked Wind blows through water ice-cold,

quickening the quiet Undertow...

baby, if you go out swimmin'

she lurks in the darkness below

Wicked Wind came

and fanned the flames

pushed you right up to

the cusp of greater pain;

down regretful roads,

Wicked Wind blows and blows -

lookin' for woods to burn trees in...

those burnin' woods are not safe to be in

Wicked Wind blows the tumbleweeds past

dead stores in dusty ghost towns

I bet your Daddy met Wicked Wind

before his world broke down

Wicked Wind flirts with old fools

on stools at the Deja Vu Saloon...

baby, don't tell her your memories

Wicked Wind wields a brutal broom

we'll always know the Wicked Wind

When she spins her sickening sins

we'll always know the Wicked Wind

there she blows Wicked Wind

Flesh Blood and Bone - #indiemusic (Featuring #indieartist @jimmy_image )

The Sonic Dream Believers 2025-09-26 | #songtember #humanity #rockmusic #creation #lyrical #existentialism #biblical

Written by Kevin Troutman and James Zito 2021, 2025

"Flesh Blood and Bone" is an adaptation of a Kevin Troutman lyric poem called "Our Flesh Our Blood Our Bone" to a song and story that ponders the ascendance of humanity and it's eventual legacy.

Prologue:

Alone, I Am
Contract, Expand
Light, Matter, Microbes, Man
There's a woman in the garden and a serpent at hand

coursing through outer space
and through our chromosomes
our choice, our chance, our chase
our flesh, our blood, our bone;

blended through what will be
and all that we have known
our land, our sky, our sea
our flesh, our blood, our bone

in the dark of the night
there's danger when we're alone
our fears, our fist, our fight
our flesh, our blood, our bone;

at the heart of all light
under a heart of stone
are seeds, are needs, our deeds
our flesh, our blood, our bone

Bridge:

Will our progeny be sown
Into galaxies unknown?
Or will our dust be blown
Away, always disowned?

chasing the universe
as if it's ours to own
our fate, our curse, or worse
our flesh, our blood, our bone;

watching the planets fly
as if on their way home
our trick, our trek, our try
our flesh, our blood, our bone

Outro

Our Heart Our Soul are honed
in Our Flesh Blood and Bone
Our Flesh Blood and Bone
Our Flesh Blood and Bone

Memories of St Clair Shores

The Sonic Dream Believers 2025-08-24 | Memories of St. Clair Shores - Sung to Green River, words by Jim Zito

This is a video I put together to celebrate my 8th grade, class of '68, reunion at St Isaac Jogues grade school - Sept 2025

Take me back home to St. Clair Shores
Let me remember the things that I love
Walking to the Dairy Queen at night
Shoo fly fish flies swarming under street lights
Take a lick as you slip on the slimy bug slick

At St. Isaac Jogues I spent my school days
Trying to flirt with those girls in brown skirts
Sister Janine wasn't as mean
as it seemed when she'd lean on her flock of pre-teens
But you might want to pray that you get away with that horseplay

I can hear my mother calling me
It's time for dinner aren't you getting hungry
Playing with Danny, Davey and Jerry
Go out long and I'll throw a Hail Mary
And if I'm late just leave it on a cold plate

We sure were immature those days on Bon Heur
While sitting 'neath a maple at the picnic table
A bird takes flight from the telephone cable
Davey's Daisy was accidently fatal
To savor your lore some more, come on home St. Clair Shores

Nothing Hurts a Man - (Featuring Jimmy Image)

The Sonic Dream Believers 2025-04-25 | Nothing Hurts a Man- Troutman/Zito 2021/2025

He's been a silent Tsunami of tears
He's been folded origami for many a year
Twist tied in a sack of torturous fears
Blinking from a blind spot that his eyes didn't clear

Well, nothing hurts a man
nothing wrecks his plans
nothing hurts a man
like losing a lover can

He's a gleaming World Tower knocked down
crumbled concrete that the jackhammers pound
A pretzeled piece of melted metal downtown
lying in piles in the burial grounds

Well, She hurts ya' man
Knowing that she ran
nothing feels as damned
as losing a lover can
nothing hurts a man
nothing hurts a man
nothing hurts a man
like losing a lover can (nothing Feels as damned)

He's a romantic warrior full of scars
Hung on the hooks of diminishing stars
lost to the physics of galaxies charred
in a black hole of pain down where the homeless are

And nothing burns your hands
turns good soil to sand
scorches all your land
like losing a lover can

He's a planet wildly off it's course
turbulence ahead of a gathering force
he's got sad eyes like children of divorce
He's a beast on his side like a wounded horse

she deserves ya' man
and it hurts to stand
nothin' hurts a man
as losing a lover can
nothing hurts a man
nothing hurts a man
nothing hurts a man
like losing a lover can (nothing wrecks his plans)

Well, nothing hurts a man
but that's what love demands
nothing hurts a man
like losing a lover can
nothing hurts a man
nothing hurts a man
nothing hurts a man
like losing a lover can (knowing that she ran)
nothing hurts a man
nothing hurts a man
nothing hurts a man
like losing a lover can (nothing hurts a man
like losing a lover can)

-Troutman/Zito 2014/2025

Lyrics
Will we need to talk when I see you again?
Will we fly or walk when I see you again?
Will our eyes be there when I see you again?
Will we be just air when I see you again?

All that I know is that I will
and it helps to keep me living
coming and going, reaping and sowing
and praying to the one
in the business of forgiving

Greetings, Greetings, Greetings to the ones I love
Greetings, Greetings, Greetings to the ones I love
Sweet heavenly meetings in the sky above
Sweet heavenly meetings in the sky above

Will our auras glow when I see you again?
Will we just know when I see you again?
Will your hair be blonde when I see you again?
Will my beard be gone when I see you again?

All that I know is that I will
Until then, I'm drifting
Going and coming
Joyously running
and praying to the one
in the business of uplifting.

Greetings, Greetings, Greetings to the ones I love
Greetings, Greetings, Greetings to the ones I love
Sweet heavenly meetings in the sky above
Sweet heavenly meetings in the sky above

All that I know is that I will
and it helps to keep me living
coming and going, reaping and sowing
and praying to the one
in the business of forgiving

Greetings, Greetings, Greetings to the ones I love
Greetings, Greetings, Greetings to the ones I love
Sweet heavenly meetings in the sky above
Sweet heavenly meetings in the sky above

All the Way to Bethlehem - The Sonic Dream Believers featuring Tom Zito

The Sonic Dream Believers 2024-12-15 | All the Way to Bethlehem- Zito/Troutman 2015

He put down the hammer
and put away the saw
tonight's the night we travel
due to Herod's law

Mary waits and smiles
As I walk across the straw
and Kneel for her with child
rise and set my jaw

and I will carry blessed Mary all the way to Bethlehem
carry for this righteous man

The journey seems so distant
Caught at any instant
by a king persistent
so we conceal this infant

I pull hard for my master
I climb these jagged hills
the king's horses are faster
and they come to kill

and I will carry blessed Mary all across this Holy Land
all the way to Bethlehem.

Look there in the sky
Well it's a guiding star
I see it in his eyes
As it shines afa-----r

Tonight we're free from danger
for this precious load
There lies a manger
along the moonlit road

In the morning there's a presence
Born in the night
The first Christmas present
it is He, The Christ

and I carried Mother Mary all the way from Nazereth
to the savior's house of bread
and warm the baby with my breathe.

Santas Magic Closet - The Sonic Dream Believers (featuring Kevin Troutman)

The Sonic Dream Believers 2024-12-13 | Santa's Magic Closet - Troutman/Zito 2016/2024

Somewhere behind the bright red suits
and above the shiny black boots
lies a secret magic closet
with all the Christmas loot

you'll find rows and rows of Christmas toys
and they're all arranged by group
there's some for girls and some for boys
dolls that laugh and horns that toot

Santa's Closet
Santa's Closet
Santa's Magic Closet

Santa's elves have stocked the shelves
with toys from ceiling to floor
and when you think you've seen them all
blink your eyes, there's ten times more

there's a tall tower of teddy bears
that's so high you can't see the top
they're piled high in Santa's shop
where the toys will never stop

Santa's Closet
Santa's Closet
Santa's Magic Closet

only Santa has the key
and all the toys there are free
he sorts them all so carefully
brings yours to you and mine to me

the toy's are gift wrapped in the back
so they all look so nice
Santa's magic closet
underneath the snow and ice

there's soccer balls and baseball bats
all waiting for a game
Santa's magic closet
near the snowdrift with no name

Santa's Closet
Santa's Closet
Santa's Magic Closet

Santa's Closet
Santa's Closet
Santa's Magic Closet

when Santa takes his Christmas ride
he'll keep the children satisfied

Roll Over Santa - The Sonic Dream Believers featuring Jimmy Image

The Sonic Dream Believers 2024-12-06 | written by James L. Zito, 2013/2024 @jimmy_image

Chuck was in luck when Rudolf would run
'cause he knew that Christmas was so much fun
And Bing would sing about a Christmas of white

When Johnny sang War is Over
That was when Santa rolled over
roll over Santa, you have to fly to Atlanta

Brenda was rockin round the Christmas tree
leading the way for you and me
Elvis was singing about a Christmas of Blue

When Johnny proclaimed War is over
Santa exclaimed, "Rudolf! Roll over!
Up out of the clover.
Roll over rover."

Burl often sang about a Christmas so Jolly
While hanging up tinsel, stockings and holly
And Frank hung a star on the highest bough

When Johnny asked what have you done
Santa said Rudolf now run
Take off Rudolf
You have to fly over Dusseldorf

When the Little Saint Nick brought that little surprise
you should've seen the joy in their eyes
And Paul was having a wonderful time

But when Willie was dreamin' about pencils and paper
Santa appeared from out of the vapor
Roll over
Roll over Willie
Now we're headed for Philly

Bridge

Franky, Johnny, Brenda and Burl,
You all brought joy to the world
Willie, Elvis, Chuck as well
Singing like them ringing bells

Bobby started rocking them jingle bells
While Nat was singing Noel Noel
Chestnuts roasted on an open flame

Chorus 5:
When Johnny said shame
What have you done
Santa said we gotta head
for Boston
and Charleston

Outro:
Washington, Richmond, Jackson, Galveston
Houston, Madison, Liverpool, London
Bloomington, Hoboken, Princeton, Lincoln
Memphis, Scranton, Hamilton, Saskatoon
Ohio, Tokyo, Hawaii, East Lansing, Beijing

Santa Style - The Sonic Dream Believers featuring Penni Lane

The Sonic Dream Believers 2024-11-28 | Santa Style was written by James Zito 2024
as sung by Penni Lane

Santa's Style

Red hat, red suit
White trim and black boots
That's Santa's Style

With a twinkle when he peeks and a wrinkle in his cheeks
and a chuckle when he speaks
That's Santa's smile

Saint Nick knows all the tricks
and bestowing gifts is his bailiwick
he gets it done and does it quick
by the light of his candlestick

Green tree bright lights
all of us tonight
Doing Christmas in style

We've waited a whole year
Now Christmas is almost here
Still have to wait awhile

So let's gather round the fire
and sing some carols with our family choir
Pretty soon the kids'll get tired
And Santa will appear when they retire

with his team of bucks and does
the lead one has a red nose
Santa rides for miles

on the roof some hoofs
and then poof he's down the chute
that's Santa's guile

Saint Nick knows all the tricks
and bestowing gifts is his bailiwick
fix him a treat of candied figs
So he can ride off in his reindeer rig

Saint Nick will ride for miles
While flashing his guile smile
That's how Santa does Christmas in style

Yellowstone - Rip Wheeler, A Man Best Left Alone (feat. The Deadwood Outlaws)

The Sonic Dream Believers 2024-10-29 | Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 premiers Sunday Nov 10, 2024 @paramountpictures

A Man Best Left Alone - Troutman/Zito 2016/2020

watch out! stand back!
I can be one mean son-of-a-bitch
when my right eye right here starts to twitch;
if you ain't on my side, son, you had better switch
when this right eye right here starts to twitch

buddy, I'm the kind of man your kind has never known
I'm a man...best left alone

stand back! watch out!
my few needs appease a demon's seed
when this right eye right here starts to twitch;
I don't feel no pain, I don't care if I bleed
when this half-blind right eye starts to twitch

you'd best get on home, or to places unknown
I'm a man...best left alone

you puff out your little shaved chest,
wanna fight outside in the clear
hell, when you go through that door
you'll be on the floor
'cause I'll be draggin' your dead ass right outta here...

watch out! keep clear!
I came in here for a cold, quiet beer
and this right eye right here is startin' to twitch
for you, it's the morgue or a ditch or some stitches
'cause this left eye right here also itches

there's some unkind things your kind needs to be shown
I'm a man...best left alone

I love snap of the bone when a body is thrown
I'm a man...best left alone

Well, I don't like your tone
Or the smell of your cologne
You better git on home
And leave me alone

Stone Me Away - The Sonic Dream Believers (featuring @jimmy_image)

The Sonic Dream Believers 2024-10-22 | Stone Me Away - Troutman/Zito

bury me in dirt
right up to my shoulders
give all the people I've hurt
a big pile of boulders

turn me so I can see
the ones who are throwing
nothing hurts more than the wounds
that hurt from the knowing

stone me away
stone me today
'til my bones chip and fray
stone me away

beat me 'til I'm done
pick your rock for sharpness
'til my features are gone
and I see red darkness

leave me so all can see
the deserving loser
nothing hurts more than the wounds
from loving abusers

stone me away
stone me I say
'til my skin starts to flay
stone me away

(Bridge)
I live a lie
I should not preserve it
if there's a hole in the ground
it's mine and I reserve it;
gather 'round,
the stones and serve it.
I deserve it
I deserve it

it took me bein' lonely
to know I love you only
I said I didn't like
someone actin' like they own me
I walked away, and I wish someone would stone me
for what I did, please line on up and stone me

stone me away
stone me today
let the angry mob make hay
stone me away

stone me away
stone me for play
move my face 'round like clay
stone me away

stone me away
stone me I say
'til the price is paid
stone me away

Green and White (Featuring Jimmy Image)

The Sonic Dream Believers 2024-10-18 | This is an original song written for my Alma Mater, the Michigan State Spartans ,as a sports rally song. Images courtesy of the World Wide Web.

Green and White - (Written by Jim Zito MSU class of '76)

Let's go green, Let's go green
Let's go white, Let's go white
Let's go green, Let's go green
Let's go white, Let's go white

Well, Do you remember Spartans of yore
The legends live on in our folk lore
Playing mean and bleedin' green
Tradin' trash talk with Wolverines

Well let's go green
Let's go white
every day and every night

Dennard, Dantonio
and Bubba Smith
those are some Spartans
you don't mess with

Le'Veon Bell
Conklin and Cousins
and Lorenzo White
Got the stadium buzzin'

Well let's go green
Let's go white
from the brink of day
to the edge night

Put in Kirk Gibson
or Andre Rison
or Plaxico Burress
and the score will be risin'

Cook Stanton
Hoyer and Duckett
Made our rivals
wanna say chuck it

Let's go white
Let's go green
Prettiest sight
You've ever seen

Gregory Kelser
Mateen Cleeves
Magic Johnson
made our victims grieve

Charlie Bell
ran the floor like a gazelle
dish him the ball
and he'd sound the death knell

Well let's go green
Let's go white
every day and every night

Who's that steppin' out on the floor
It's none other than Kathy DeBoer
she was a gamer who'd even the score
Hit her in the paint she'd shut the door

Well let's go green
Let's go white
from the brink of day
to the edge night

There was George Perles
and Biggie Munn
and Duffy Daugherty
Getting the job done

In the huddle is Tom Izzo
the play he calls is his own
Spartan spirit is known
to be grown in his Izzone

Let's go white
Let's go green
Prettiest sight
You've ever seen

These are some heroes
from our past
And we're makin' sure
those memories last

When summer turns
into September
There is one thing
we all will remember

Well let's go green
Let's go white
Our lean machine
of Spartans will fight

Let's go green, Let's go green
Let's go white, Let's go white
Let's go green, Let's go green
Let's go white, Let's go white
Let's go green, Let's go green
Let's go white, Let's go white
Spartans will, Spartans will,
Spartans will, Spartans will,
Spartans will!

Sabotaged Heart - The Sonic Dream Believers

The Sonic Dream Believers 2024-04-12 | @thesonicdreambelievers

Sabotaged Heart-Troutman/Zito

Your heart started out pure,
Then somebody tricked it
You conquered being unsure,
and then somebody kicked it
the wolves began to lick it
the vultures waited to pick it
now you're waitin' to blow
well, here's the detonator, quick, now click it!

it's not like it's priceless art
you should just blast it apart
who needs to be dodgin' those darts?
who needs to be pullin' that cart?
Honey, it shows...you've got a sabotaged heart (sabotaged heart)

you don't have to tell me about it
I could tell, I had no doubts
it was a deep, deep, deep scar
that you camouflaged from the start
Honey, it shows...you've got a sabotaged heart (sabotaged heart)

I need a breeze and a West coast sun set
I need some time to forget
And try to prime my spirit
so my heart won't freeze when you get near it

your heart was beating so strong
and then somebody stopped it
you thought it couldn't go wrong
with malice - they dropped it
the boots stood in line to stomp it
and the photographers will crop it
now you're bubblin' below
well, here's your palpitating top, you can pop it!

why don't you just blast it to shards?
who needs a heart that's grown hard?
who wants to be on that chart?
you and that heart need to part
the damage shows...you've got a sabotaged heart (sabotaged heart)

don't you pretend it's all fine
I could see, you had the signs
and all those places still smart
that you camouflaged from the start
the damage shows...you've got a sabotaged heart (sabotaged heart)
the damage shows...you've got a sabotaged heart (sabotaged heart)

let it all blow apart
you need a change of heart
let it all blow apart
you need a change of heart

Hey Gary Cooper
We Need An Uber
Cause We seem to have drunken ourselves into a stupor
We didn't mean to be party poopers

We're at this beer bar
Don't want no K-Car
I need some fancy for romancing Uber
I'm thinking something flashy like Jaguar

Hey now Goober
We rode our scooters
So we'll need a bike rack up upon that Uber
Me and my girl need a fare for a twofer

Abe Zapruder
We need a straight shooter
Someone to drive us past that State Trooper
If you could do that, it really would be super

now Hans Gruber
Smokin' a dubber
Pulls up to the front door drivin' that Uber
I mean have you seen anything ruder

Now Gary Cooper
and Goober
with Abe Zapruder and Hans Gruber
Now we're all riding home in this Uber

We Need An Uber

Guitar Heart - The Sonic Dream Believers (featuring Jimmy Image)

The Sonic Dream Believers 2024-01-26 | Guitar Heart

Jimmy laments as his sweetheart leaves him for Nashville and never looks back.
Now reimagined with AI images.

Lyrics:

My girl moved to Nashville. I think about her still
Don't know when I'll see her again. If I do, maybe I will
Sing a corn-fed symphony, on bended knee
Cascading waves of melody in the memory

of her Guitar heart, guitar heart,
I just wanna be a part of her guitar heart

She was fingerpickin', fingerlickin' good.
lookin' like a long-haired model out in good ol' Hollywood
A humdinger of a singer a dead-ringer of Natalie Wood
standing here where we once stood but now i have no part

of her Guitar heart, guitar heart,
I knew it from the start she had a guitar heart

Like barefoot on glass
She left blood in her tracks
She never even looked back
I've gotta face the fact that

Fame and Fortune found her, She headlines the biggest shows
First time was a Rodeo and then the Radio
Saw her at the Ryman she didn't even know
I was standing in the balcony lookin' down below.

at her Guitar heart, guitar heart,
now she top's the charts with her guitar heart

How am I supposed to sleep at night when I dream of her all day
My feelings run deep but hurt a mite since she went away
Now she don't belong to me but my soul still soars
She was like a song to me but I didn't know the chords

to her Guitar heart, guitar heart,
I knew it from the start, she had a guitar heart.
guitar heart
I just wanna be a part of her guitar heart

River of Rain - The Sonic Dream Believers (featuring @jimmy_image )

The Sonic Dream Believers 2023-12-31 | @thesonicdreambelievers

River of Rain - Troutman/Zito

same old bit, different year

same salty taste of bitter tears
same sad eyes framed by fear
same as those who won't come near

Living life in vain

same old guy, greyer hair
same silly slacker who's not quite there
same old line, "I don't care"
same sad sack who's not quite aware

Living life in vain
On a river of rain
I'm goin' down the drain

memories of former flames
sometimes a spark doused in games
same old needs can't abstain
can't explain this same nameless pain

Living life in vain
On a river of rain
I'm goin' down the drain

Death stalks in the dark,
the shark fin's gettin' close
I sit at this bar
and give myself a dose

Living life in vain
On a river of rain
I'm goin' down the drain

Same road signs, different times
Lost my shine, walls to climb
Rewind, replay
Stumbling I'm on my knees to pray

for no more pain

can't explain
shivering pain
almost insane
can't abstain
from the same nameless pain
River of Rain

Santa said Rudolf now run
Take off Rudolf
You have to fly over Dusseldorf

When the Little Saint Nick brought that little surprise
you should've seen the joy in their eyes
And Paul was having a wonderful time

But when Willie was dreamin' about pencils and paper
Santa appeared from out of the vapor
Roll over
Roll over Willie
Now we're headed for Philly

Franky, Johnny, Brenda and Burl,
You all brought joy to the world
Willie, Elvis, Chuck as well
Singing like them ringing bells

Bobby started rocking them jingle bells
While Nat was singing Noel Noel
Chestnuts roasted on an open flame

When Johnny said shame
What have you done
Santa said we gotta head
for Boston
and Charleston

Washington, Richmond, Jackson, Galveston
Houston, Madison, Liverpool, London
Bloomington, Hoboken, Princeton, Lincoln
Memphis, Scranton, Hamilton, Saskatoon
Hoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo_oo oo
Ohio, Tokyo, Hawaii, East Lansing, Beijing
Hoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo_oo oo Hoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo_oo oo oo oo

The Best Place to Be - The Sonic Dream Believers (Featuring Kevin Troutman)

The Sonic Dream Believers 2023-03-03 | The Best Place To Be - Troutman/Zito

The best place to be is in the middle of nowhere
Watchin' TV screens 'till the crack of dawn
The best place to be is in the shadows of the morning
Having pop-star dreams with your guitar on

The worst place to be is
Working for some company
With your suit and your tie on
When you'd rather just fly on

The best place to be is in a brown sack six pack
Burpin' out your fears with the oldies loud
The best place to be is surfside in LaJolla
With your hair blowin' back and your smile burstin' through the clouds

The worst place to be is
Working for some company
When you'd rather just move on
When you'd rather just groove on

Interlude

Dun Dun Da Dun Dun Dun Dun I'm gonna run now
Dun Dun Da Dun Dun Dun Dun I'm gonna have fun now

The best place to be is crusin' up the west coast
Drivin' like a fiend 'till you're too far out
The best place for me is on the edge of existence
Hopin' to stay keen 'till I have no doubt

The worst place to be is
Working for some company
With your suit and your tie on
When you'd rather just fly on

The worst place to be is
Working for some company
When you'd rather just dream on
When you'd rather just be gone.

Outro:
So long, so long, I'm gone
(Dun Dun Da Dun Dun Dun Dun Dun Da Dun, I'm gone)
So long, so long, I'm gone
(Dun Dun Da Dun Dun Dun Dun Dun Da Dun, I'm gone)
So long

Intro

This is the story of Johnny and Lenny
When it came to trouble, we wrought plenty.

V1

we rode into town
and we headed for a bank
we helped ourselves to a loan
and forgot to say thanks

V2
we headed outta town
then we rode right back in
we had a time with some gals who wondered,
"where in the hell we been?"

Pre-Chorus 1
then he turned around
and he smiled a knowing smile
he said, "son, one thing you'll learn from me...
crooked men never walk a straight mile"

Chorus 1
crooked men never walk a straight mile
crooked men are watchin' their back
all the time, all the while
crooked men...never walk a straight mile

V3
well, they sent us to a prison
and they put us in a cell
those gals back there were Heaven
but it hadn't ended well

V4
we tunneled outta jail
and then we crawled our way back in
"we have to wait for the sun", he said,
"or the snow'll show 'em where we've been'

Pre-Chorus 2
then he turned around
and he smiled a patient smile
he said, 'son, one thing you'll learn is true...
crooked men never walk a straight mile

Chorus2
crooked men never walk a straight mile
crooked men will sizin' you up
With a crooked smile
crooked men...never walk a straight mile

Bridge
We were runnin' loose as a goose
hopped a train at the caboose
Johnny bumped a man, and he took a stand
pretty soon they both let loose
Johnny lost a tooth, but kept his juice
cause his head is hard as a moose,
he fought that man, but called a truce
'cause we gotta keep runnin' to escape the noose, and...

Chorus 3
crooked men never walk a straight mile
crooked men are watchin' their back
all the time, all the while
crooked men...never walk a straight mile

V5
well, we hit the dusty trail
with no map and with no horse
we came upon widow Sloan
and we charted a new course

V6
Johnny headed for her arms
and I headed for the barn
I stole two horses, we rode away
but then we rode right back to her farm

Pre-Chorus 3
then the morning came
and he smiled a new day's smile
he said, "kid, one thing will keep you free...
crooked men never walk a straight mile"

Chorus 4
crooked men never walk a straight mile
crooked men'll take some pain
to avoid standin' trial
crooked men...never walk a straight mile

Outro 1
well, here we are we're still goin'
I suppose it was well worth knowin'

Outro 2 (148-159)
crooked men never walk a straight mile
crooked men never walk a straight mile
crooked men never walk a straight mile

Cruel School - The Sonic Dream Believers (feat. Kevin Troutman)

The Sonic Dream Believers 2022-09-16 | #songtember #songtember2022

Cruel School- Troutman/Zito

well, I know it's insecurity
that makes you do the things that hurt me
but, baby, oh, baby, last night, ba-by,
was the very last time
you will laugh as you desert me

Cruel Schoo---ool where the students are the fools
Cruel Schoo---ool where the cruel makes the rules

you have a root impurity
that leaves a hole where you insert me
but, baby, oh, baby, that's right, ba-by,
you spent your last thin dime
just to forward, and reverse me

Cruel Schoo---ool where the heart is a tool
Cruel Schoo---ool where you'll never ever be cool

you practice lack of clarity,
spinning tales veiled and blur--ry
but, baby, oh, baby, last night, baby,
it was finally the time
to become your judge and ju----ry

Cruel Schoo---ool you'll be beaten like a mule
Cruel Schoo---ool sitting in a corner stool

I'm blinkin' my eyes
I'm thinkin' it through
I'm through with you
because you sent me to..

Cruel Schoo---ool where the students are the fools
Cruel Schoo---ool where the cruel makes the rules

baby, you shook me, so now I'm playin' hooky
baby, you shook me, so now I'm playin' hooky
baby, you shook me, now I want my milk and cookies
baby, you shook me, now I want my milk and cookies oo--ee

Show A Sign - The Sonic Dream Believers (feat. Kevin Troutman)

The Sonic Dream Believers 2022-06-30 | - The Sonic Dream Believers

Show a Sign
Troutman/Zito

Show a sign that you can feel it
Say the words and you can seal it
The things you do reveal a lot to me.

You had your chance, you didn't choose it.
You shouldn't wait your bound to lose it.
You want good news, but it won't come to you.

Tell me why, why I can't decide
if you tried or if you lied.

Use your hands or use your eyes now.
Just be sure to tell me why now.
Leave nothing out or I will ask you more.

Write it down, send a letter
You're blowing smoke through your tight sweater
I'm telling you, you better do it soon.

Tell me why, why you can't confide.
'cause if you tried, I'd smile wide.

Whoa oh oh, I don't know
Oh, oh, oh, I don't know, oh, woah, oh

Throw a mask on, put an act on.
Blur the words you base your facts on.
You'll never make a lover's pact with me.

Open up, no need to fence it.
Pour it our, girl, please dispense it.
Your silent spells make no sense to me.

Tell me why, why we can't collide.
Step out side your (little) world of lies.

Tell me why, why we can't collide.
Step out side your (little) world of lies.

We'd have love if you would spill it.
Love is life so don't you kill it.
You want me until I try for you.

Show a sign it glowing neon.
Give a speech that I'll be free on.
The things you are will be on every word.

Tell me why you can't override.
Why you hide, it's suicide.

You could be the one I'd die for.
You could be the one I cry for.
The way you sigh can really do me in.

Without love, you'll end up bitter.
You'll feel like some kind of human litter.
Don't bring out the quitter that you've been.

Tell me why, why I can't decide
if you tried or if you lied.

Whoa oh oh, I don't know
Oh, oh, oh, I don't know, oh, woah, oh

The Sonic Dream Believers 2022-05-27 | Your Beauty Shows
Words and Music: James Zito

This is the daughter that we raised.
The little child we loved and praised.
The one we held in younger days
And now she's movin' on
Pretty soon she will be gone

Through the years of work and play
You held your dreams along the way.
We always knew you couldn't stay.
May your dreams come true
We wish the best for you.

Now and then true love survives
When you answer to the call
Now your one true love arrives
Standing Handsome, proud and tall.

On this day your beauty shows
And in your heart it always glows
In God's love may both you grow
And though the road is long
May your roots grow strong.

Say You Care - The Sonic Dream Believers (feat. Kevin Troutman)

The Sonic Dream Believers 2022-05-13 | - The Sonic Dream Believers

Say You Care
Words and Music Troutman/Zito

You don't have to act so tough
I'm not going to play too rough
You don't have to show those stares
And you don't have to have any flair

You just have to say you care
You just have to say you care

You don't have to make those eyes
You don't need to tell those lies
You don't have to be right here
You don't have to be over there

Say you care to say you care
Say that you got caring to spare
Will you dare to say you care
Say that you got caring to share

In a dream we came to be
In a dream you came for me

You don't have to want to be free
'Cuz I won't make you want to be
You don't even have to be fair
And I don't have to be runnin' scared

Say you care to say you care
Say that you got caring to spare
Will you dare to say you care
Say that you got caring to bare

In a dream we'll always be
It's in your dreams I long to be

You just have to say you care
You just have to say you care

Pretty Blue - The Sonic Dream Believers (feat. Kevin Troutman)

The Sonic Dream Believers 2022-03-25 | The Sonic Dream Believers
Words and Music: Troutman/Zito

Pretty Blue (Troutman/Zito)

Verse 1:

There's something kind of rubbing me on this weekend
There's something kind of bugging me and a feeling sneaks in.

Verse 2:

There's nothing to be sad about no need for deep ends
There's something I feel bad about and a feeling creeps in

Chorus 1:

Like the sky I'm feeling pretty blue.
Don't know why I'm feelin' blue.
Like your eyes I'm feelin' pretty blue.
It's no lie I'm feeling pretty blue
And I don't know what to do

Verse 3:

There's no one really asking me if I'll be their friend
But somethings out there tasking me I wish it would end.

Verse 4:

There's something kind of eating me, but then again.
There's something that's defeating me before I begin.

Chorus 2:
Like the sea I'm feeling pretty blue.
Look at me I'm looking blue.
Can it be that I can't find a clue.
I should feel free with you looking pretty too
and I wonder what to do.

Bridge:

Here I lie starin' at the sky, I feel so blue
I need a girl just like you to help to see me through

Iterlude1

Verse 5:
There's something that's confounding me, it's under my skin
and nothing sounds profound to me, abov-a the din.

Interlude 2

Chorus 3:
Like the sky I'm feeling pretty blue.
Don't know why I'm feelin' blue.
Like your eyes I'm feelin' pretty blue.
It's no lie I'm feeling pretty blue
And I don't know what to do

Sleep Away - The Sonic Dream Believers

The Sonic Dream Believers 2022-02-18 | The Sonic Dream Believers
Written by Troutman/Zito

Sleep Away

phone calls that never come
planned for, like a date
little bits that never gather into sums
ah, let's go to bed; it's gettin' late

and sleep away
another minor pain
on another tiny day
sleep away, sleep away
on another tiny day
let's sleep away

faces I never see
planted in my mind
pleasant thoughts that never are reality
ah, let's check the windows and close the blinds

and sleep away
sleep away for years today
on another dreary day
sleep away, come what may
on another dreary day
let's sleep away

fresh as white sheets on the line
contented puppy curled to sleep
floating, soft, shimmering, warm
clouds billow in my pillow
clouds billow in my pillow

lovers in distant beds
longed for in sweet dreams
luscious lips are kissing someone else, instead
ah, just close the eyes and it's all unseen

and sleep away
an afternoon of rain
from a sky that seems to say
sleep away, sleep away
from a sky that seems to say
sleep away

and sleep away
another stormy scene
in yet another passion play
keep away, keep away
from yet another passion play
I'll sleep away

Nothing But Time For You - The Sonic Dream Believers (feat. Kevin Troutman)

The Sonic Dream Believers 2022-01-14 | The Sonic Dream Believers

Nothing But Time For You
Words and Music: Troutman/Zito 2021

My love will last at least as long
As the stars offer clues
I've told the stars to take their Time
Because we've got things to do...

A black hole takes it all
Everything just disappears
And even Time does, too
So I'm holding on to you

And now, my love,
I've got nothing but Time
Slow down, my love,
I've got nothing but Time
Nothing but Time for you

Nothing plus nothing is turning into something
That's making life fresh and new...
I've got nothing but, nothing but, nothing but Time
Nothing but Time for you

Theory and observation
Oh they very rarely agree
They're meant to prove each other,
But you can't prove that no
Oh, You can't prove that by me

To glimpse the night's bright sky
Is a look at Time gone by
It frames our point of view
On this midnight rendezvous

And so, my love,
I've got plenty of Time
Slow down, my love,
I've got nothing but Time
Nothing but Time for you

Nothing plus nothing is turning into something
That's making life fresh and new...
I've got nothing but, nothing but, nothing but Time
Nothing but Time for you

Nothing plus nothing is turning into something
That's making a dream come true
I've got nothing but, nothing but, nothing but Time
Nothing but Time for you

This whole world is sublime
Whenever I'm
Spending my time with you
Nothing but time for you

Our Christmas
Words and Music by James L. Zito
Copyright 2009/2020

I remember when I was young
and my life was still unsung
Christmas was so much fun
Yet I was longing to find someone

I was thinking 'bout when we met
it wasn't quite Christmas yet
it was snowing and we were getting wet
a winter we will never forget

Chorus:

This is our Christmas
Make the feeling last
And rejoice just like seasons past
This is our Christmas
Better hold on fast

On the night that I proposed
we were skating and we almost froze
went in to warm our toes
and betrothed underneath the mistletoe

The winter that we were wed
'twas the season of green and red
when reindeer pulled the sled
And this is what we said

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
The night was bright as we gazed beyond the stars
We embraced so tight I could feel your beating heart
And nothing could tear us apart

Remember that the child was born
and it happened on Christmas morn
there were chimes and bells and horns
and holly with snow adorned.

Repeat Chorus

Outro
Holly and snow and mistletoe
Trees are aglow Ho Hi Ho Hi
Ho Hi Ho Hi Ho Hi Ho Hi Ho Hi Ho Hi-i-i Ho

Seven Septembers - The Sonic Dream Believers (feat. Kevin Troutman)

The Sonic Dream Believers 2021-09-23 | Seven Septembers
The Sonic Dream Believers
written by Troutman/Zito 2017/2021

Lyrics:

Seven Septembers of blazing blue eyes
Seven Septembers they lit up the sky
Seven Septembers who can say why
They led to a December when everything died?

Two questions for two dancers
One a Virgo, one a Cancer
Who loved each other in a younger day;
(Seven Heavenly, Oh, Seven Heavenly)

Two questions for two dancers
Who danced away the answers,
And who never should have danced a night away

Seven Heavenly, oh
Seven Heavenly, oh
Seven Heavenly, Septembers

Seven Septembers, love became remote
Seven Septembers, only mirrors and smoke
Seven Septembers who could deny
That lovers, once tender, would soon say goodbye

More questions for two dancers
One a chooser, one a chancer
Who felt a rhythm locked in a playful sway
(Seven Heavenly, Oh, Seven Heavenly)

Two questions for two dancers
Who trampled on the answers
Who never learned the tango, anyway

Seven Heavenly,
Oh Seven Heavenly
Oh, Seven Heavenly Septembers

Bridge

What engulfs two fools to go
Swimming in
Bathtubs of gin
And ancient genetic pools?

Seven Septembers, the Galaxy guides
Seven Septembers, a girl and a guy
Seven Septembers, who remembers why
The dying of embers when love is thrown aside?

Seven Heavenly,
Oh Seven Heavenly
Oh, Seven Heavenly Septembers

Seven Heavenly,
Oh Seven Heavenly
Oh, Seven Heavenly Septembers

All These Lonely Years - The Sonic Dream Believers (feat. Kevin Troutman)

Weather the Sorrow - The Sonic Dream Believers (feat. Jimmy Image)

The Sonic Dream Believers 2021-04-11 | Troutman/Zito 2019/2021

here comes the rain
with a thunderstorm of pain
and I feel like a civil right
when the fire hoses came

here comes a cloud
over land too dry to plow
no moisture for the grass
that will feed my diseased cow

day after day
way after way
you'll have to weather the sorrow

here comes the wind
like a hurricane from Hell
I feel like I'm sheltering
from gunmen between shells;

here comes the end
of a season full of plague
no one left to pull out the fuses
from the powder kegs

come what slays
it comes to stay
you'll have to weather the sorrow

(Bridge)

you'll have to weather so much sorrow
so much grief will fall on your head
you'll look around for life to borrow
you can't keep on living half-dead...

here comes the ice
but the heat's a higher price
and I feel like a summer night
where the bullets are precise

here comes a crowd
with a knack for seein' red
Better keep my big mouth shut
or those pitchforks will be fed

layers of sleet
sheet after sheet
you'll have to weather the sorrow

here comes a month
with a message that will burn
I'll be nursing and relearning
hard truths when it re-turns;

here comes a mask
with a grimace so grotesque
I wonder what's under
a life so ar--ab---esque

sunlight strays
hair turns grey
you'll have to weather the sorrow

day after day
way after way
you'll have to weather the sorrow

it's a tender, many-splendored fender-bender...
sorry 'bout the sorrow
sorry 'bout the sorrow
sorry 'bout the sorrow

Troutman/Zito 1985/2011/2021

I saw a sad guitarist strumin'
I heard the tune that he was strummin'
So, I thought I'd write
for you a song
because you loved me
Oh so well and oh so long
Oh so well and oh so strong

The tempo rose like lover's making
It wasn't long and I was shaken
So I thought I'd dance
With you a dance
Because you took me
At a risk, with a glance
Took a look, and gave a chance

You took me further than the others
You took me further than my dreams
You gave me strength
You gave me cover
and changed the way
The cold world seems
You took me
You shook me
You took me.

Thingsll Kill - The Sonic Dream Believers (feat. Jimmy Image)

The Sonic Dream Believers 2021-01-20 | The Sonic Dream Believers

Things'll Kill - Troutman/Zito 2021

Hooks of love
barbs of pain
left his t-shirt
heavily stained;

drops of love
heavy rains
washed his top dirt
down a drain

things'll kill
things can, things will
things'll still need themselves new thrills
and things'll kill,
things'll kill

hounds of love
got too close
each new love
another bad dose;

hot loves turned
into ghosts
left him with a smile,
at most

things'll kill
as coffins fill
things'll know if you fit the bill
of things to kill, things'll kill

had to be
cooler than ice
left him sliced,
sautéed and diced;

drops of blood
for the mice
and his remains
for his Christ

ah, things'll kill
avoid a chill
things'll make you need poison pills
and things'll kill, things'll kill
Things'll make you push up daffodils
things'll kill, things'll kill
things'll kill with poise and skill
things'll kill, things'll kill

Its Fleeting - The Sonic Dream Believers (feat. Jimmy Image)

The Sonic Dream Believers 2020-11-14 | It's Fleeting - Troutman/Zito

I walked out tonight
There were no stars
Just grey and rows of rusting cars
I wondered and reasoned and questioned why
But I won't know no answers until I die

So I'm happy, just being
It's fleeting, it's fleeting

I walked out tonight
There was no moon
Just me whistling a Beatle tune
I checked out the shadow to make sure it's safe
But nowhere no how could I find a safe place

So, I'm Lucky, just being
It's fleeting, it's fleeting

Well I lost my dreams a long time ago
But I never expected this final blow
The promise held out was goodness and peace
But violence instead has and shall be released

I talked out tonight
There were no facts
Just air full of sickening acts
I reread what I almost forgot
The newspaper said John Lennon was shot

So I'm lucky just seeing
It's Fleeting, unseating
I'm happy, just being
Alive, Alive

Catch the Bullet - The Sonic Dream Believers (feat. Jimmy Image)

The Sonic Dream Believers 2020-11-14 | Catch the Bullet (Michael Zito & James Zito)

Steel and Glass.

Life is a game, gotta play by the rules
That's what they claimed when I went to that school
So I put on my hat, it was the color of red
And left Pency Prep and to New York I fled

Cause I wanna be that guy
the catcher in the rye
Oh, I want to try
To be the catcher in the rye.

Well in Central Park, down by the lake
The place was so stark, not even a drake
At the museum, oh, that's where I'll be
And nothin' has changed, you just wait and see.

Cause you won't get by
The catcher in the rye
Don't even try
I'm the catcher in the rye.

On the edge of a cliff, that's where I'm standin'
My main complaint is that life is demandin'
Who will be there, if I should fall?
Will it be you or no one at all?

Steel and glass.
Stealin' past

Standing on the corner, gun in his hand
He's got killin' on his mind, he's stalkin' that man
That's not what he wanted when he wrote that book
I wish I could catch the bullet he took.

John, oh, John
Come on, Come on.
John, oh, John
Come on, Come on.

Steel and Glass
His lot is cast
We stand aghast.
