You don't know What it means to me to be something you adore (or despise, at least I know I mean something to you) When you look down you can't see that I see something in you something you can't hide.......

I can't talk too loud because he might be at the door It's about this guys who lives next to me on this floor He's been up all night I don't think he ever sleeps Got in some trouble on the ugly side of town Busted him a rank, and they rode him out of town for being in the wrong place, wrong space, wrong time. He sits and watches the TV He smokes a cigarette, or three and waits to feel some new sensation He says that only time will tell He locks himself inside a shell Poor guy, he's the new crustacean

Look out your window on the town Look as the sun is going down I see the twilight in your eyes I see the moon hang in the sky Look out your window down the street Imagine you are standing there and looking back to where you were and understanding how it feels

When I was Napoleon and you were Josephine we'd sit and talk together of the places we had been You are a child, you cannot hope to understand this little corner of the world Oleander and her friends and a host of sixteen angels with their wings beating and horns blowing cannot wake you from your sleep I'm listening to the air conditioner and I'm dreaming I am gone. You are a child, you cannot hope to understand this little corner of the world

Ramsey Park 03:36
And we walk to Ramsey Park The sun is high, the air is cool the trees they rise their shadows fall like rain And every word is like a thought an instant passed, a spoken word a glimpse caught from the corner of her eye Would you like to take a walk down the way to Ramsey Park Would you like to take a thought and color it with Ramsey Park Winter days are always here and always there a lovers word spoken like a smoke ring in the wind and we are lying on the hill you are there I am here and forever it shall always be Would you like to take a walk down the way to Ramsey Park

It's such a Greenville state of mind it's such a Greenville state of mind I thought I'd left it far behind but it's a Greenville state of mind. What have you that I have not had what is there anyway what have you that I have not had come to me yesterday and say a feeling left so far behind that it's a greenville state of mind.

With the first breath you take on your way to find the outskirts of this town please be assured that your dream never dies I remember you. When the fire in your eyes burns so far away and the time slips through your hands in your one finest hour you will live always I remember you

about

Our second 'cassette only' release was recorded at the Fire Station in San Marcos, in the dog days of summer 1991, I still distinctly remember making the drive everyday in my old Benz which had no AC, Climbing the stairs in the back of the building and entering the cold, dark cavernous cutting room. Whatever the product of these sessions may lack in fidelity, Minaret more than makes up for in that intangible vibe that we were starting tap into. Doug Spinks had replaced Mike Brown a few months earlier solidifying the Coffee Sergeant lineup that would continue on for nearly 20 years. Although a few of these songs would later be redone for Moonlight Towers, there are still several old favorites here that can't be found anywhere else. Enjoy!
