MADHOUSE - Rob Wesley & David Schellhaas
(words- Rob 11/25/2002; music Rob & David 11/24/2002 live at home)
(Coturnix partridge & Bobwhite quail intro)
Whoo!
It's a madhouse!
"You hear something?" "UPS delivery."
New house, old house, keepin' them together,
Owned or rental you'll be wondering whether,
You'll be broke before they're finished,
Walls are crackin' and my brain diminished.
"Plumber."
Toilet's leaking where the guests are sleeping,
Floor is bare where we store our wares,
Shower leaked into the storage closet,
Walls all ugly cuz there's no pain on 'em.
It's a madhouse! Whooo!
"Electrician."
It's a madhouse! Whooo!
"Carpenter."
Whoo! It's a madhouse! Whooo!
"Painter."
"Aaaaagggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!"
Whooo!
My ears are ringing and my eyes are stinging,
I'm out of money and it's not that funny.
My hands are bleeding from the termites feeding,
The rats moved out since the fox moved in.
It's a madhouse! Whooo!
"Building Inspector."

BEAUTIFUL DAY - Rob Wesley & David Schellhaas
(music 2/21/2002 and 11/24/2002 Rob & David- jam at home; words- Rob 11/24/2002)
For Linda
VERSE 1:
I woke up smiling and the sun was shining,
I said "Honey what a beautiful day!"
The birds were flying, the flowers blooming,
all the beauty of the month of May.
CHORUS 1:
Peace and laughter, filled the fields and pasture,
What a lovely day, what a beautiful day!
VERSE 2:
We took a drive along a mountain stream and
she said, "Honey what a beautiful day!"
She held my hand, we took a walk in the land and
said a prayer for anyone in dismay.
(break)
CHORUS 1
(break)
CHORUS 2:
Fields and grassy meadows, birds are singing brightly,
Deer are feeding, and the sun in wonder,
What a beautiful day, what a lovely day!
(Beautiful beauty, what a beautiful lovely day) (x 5)
Tulips, daffodils and iris rising,
Air is filled with life and sounds of love and wonder,
What a lovely day! (x 4)
Beautiful beauty (x 3)
What a beautiful day!

END OF DAYS - Rob Wesley & David Schellhaas
(words- Rob 11/26/2002; music- Rob & David 11/24/2002 jam at home)
VERSE 1:
Like a cold wind, rips the skin of your face,
Like a broadsword tears your chest through the maze.
Like a steel lance, of a surgeon's fast pace.
Is a true love, ripped away in disgrace.
CHORUS:
Somebody knows, it's the end of my days.
Let the whole world know, it's the end of days.
VERSE 2:
When the moon turns, to a deep dark gray,
When a star burns, and then fades away,
When the tide's turn takes all water away,
Is a trust torn, sacred truths to betray.
REFRAIN:
It's the end of days, it's the end of days.
It's the end of days, it's the end, of my days.
VERSE 3:
When you're falling, and there's no rail to grasp,
When you exhale, and there's no air to gasp,
When your heart melts, then drips to the ground,
In the desert, when the buzzards abound.
CHORUS
REFRAIN
