Dweller on the Threshold
SEED- Angel Pam West (3:17) All life starts from a tiny seed/A gift of love, all that you'll ever need/Plant your seeds and watch them grow and grow/ For what you reap depends on what you sow. Sunshine, shine on me/Help me to grow my tiny seed/Send down your cosmic rays/To warm my heart and chase the clouds away. And the world keeps spinning round a circle of dreams/We're dancing with our shadows stepping in the beams, Of life . . . of Life! Father Blue Sky, and Mother Earth/You've held our hands through many births/Through the pulse of time/Our roots grow deep while we strive to climb. And the world keeps spinning round a circle of dreams/We're dancing with our shadows stepping in the beams, Of life . . . of Life! All life starts from a tiny seed/A gift of love, all that you'll ever need/Plant your seeds and watch them grow and grow/ For what you reap depends on what you sow. Chant and bang on the drums until you get tired.
LIVE TO SING-Angel Pam West (3:57) You wonder why you just can't die to end the pain/Beloved, I know you're blue, but I'd like for you to stay. So when your feet grow tired, and your head hangs low/Don't lose your way/Cause you know, oh, you know When you climb that hill, you'll live to sing another day...Sing another day/Live to sing another day. Dreams, they seem so far/You work so hard, still they run away/Beloved, hold to your truth/You just can't lose when you sing your say. So when your heart grows tired and the feeling's gone, don't lose your way/'Cause you know, oh you know when you win this war, You'll live to sing another day/Sing another day/Live to sing another day. Live to sing, live to sing, you gotta live, gotta live, gotta live to sing/you gotta live, gotta live, gotta live to sing/you gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, live to sing/You gotta live to sing.
LITTLE MIRACLES-Angel Pam West (5:06) When the stormy sea surrounds you/And the crashing waves begin to drown you/Close your eyes and swim to the depths inside of you/And whisper a prayer for your soul. I believe in worlds unseen/I know, I know what's waiting for me/I can be anything that I need/I can show you things that you might not think to perceive, Visions you have to believe to see/To see . . . little miracles. Little miracles. On a moonlit night your shadows stalk you/Magnifying fears that paralyze you/Let the fog embrace the darkness inside of you/And whisper a prayer for your soul. I believe in worlds unseen/I know, I know what's waiting for me/I can be anything that I need/I can show you things that you might not think to perceive, Visions you have to believe to see/To see . . . little miracles. Little miracles. Oh, to see the beauty in a summer rain, like a child again. I believe, I believe, I believe I can see the light of your soul. We are one, you know. We are love, you know. Oh, Little miracles. Little miracles. Little miracles. Little miracles.
CHAINS OF THE MODERN APE MAN-Angel Pam West (4:02) So many lemons I've been handed, sour doubt driving out the voice of inspiration. So many days tick away in fleeting years, ruled by fears of self-humiliation. O God, I've tried so hard to keep the faith that my sun is just beyond the horizon. I'll wait as long as it takes to live my bliss, I won't miss my chance at liberation. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. CHORUS: So I'll just wait another, wait another day. I'll just wait another, wait another day I'll just wait another, wait another day. I'll just wait another, wait another day. Wait another day. So many people that have fallen on hard times choose to climb, but towards the wrong destination. So many say that I am crazy 'cause I choose to be a muse. They hope I like starvation. O God, I surrender it all! Take my soul! Take control, you are my sole motivation. Patience is your lesson for me, I've got to learn to wait my turn for these manifestations. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. REPEAT CHORUS (lead into bridge) Wait another day, another dollar, 'nother wasted hour in the chains of the modern ape man, as the apples fall upon my head! Wait another day! REPEAT CHORUS
GOLDEN MEAN-Angel Pam West (3:28) I've been down,Oh, I've been so down before.I know just how low, low can be. I've been high,Oh, I've been so high before,I just grit my teeth and I hung on for the ride. CHORUS: But somewhere in between, Oh, there's a place I feel alive. Somewhere in between, Oh, I've got to find my Golden Mean. Oh, my Golden Mean. I've been here, Oh, and I've been there, searchin' for a place to call my home. And when I find it, Oh, this gypsy heart of mine starts burnin' with desire to roam. REPEAT CHORUS
SCREAM OF THE BUTTERFLY-Angel Pam West (7:05) I. Cocoon Spent so many lonely years building a cocoon/Forgot that I was meant to be more than just a worm. The thick, dark case kept me safe in a womb/Protected from the winters of my life. Found a few addictions to mask all my afflictions from the world/Made a string of bad decisions/Blamed them on my false derision. I thought I was going mad/Lost in all the losses, pain, and fears/Got so numb I couldn't cry the tears. CHORUS: It was the scream of the butterfly that grew the wings that made the angel fly. It's times like these that make the angels cry, As the rain against the lighthouse in the storm. II. Transformation Plunging down the darkened spiral, praying for my own survival/Grasping for a hand to stop my fall. I heard a voice deep inside me. He said that he would come to find me/After I'd spent my time in hell. I came face to face with the monsters of my mind and I battled with the demons for my soul-the war over my soul. REPEAT CHORUS III. Metamorphosis IV. Emergence My ship survived the transformation/I set a course for liberation as I freed the sails of my dreams. All at once I remembered the mission for which I'd been rendered/It was clear as the crystal sea. Beyond the storm, there is a light/A light that is Love pure white/Feel the peace as it pours through your soul.
FLOOD OF 1992-Angel Pam West (4:24) Here comes the rain again/Falling droplets from my head/Stinging moisture from the pain/Getting through, just let it rain CHORUS: 'Cause I'm trying to survive/But, you know, it's good to be alive/Live day by day, tomorrow is another one. Clouds might go away and bring back the sun/Bring back the sun. Ooooo. Floods come crashing in/Learn to swim or be consumed within/Rivers cutting through the heart/Changing shape and leaving scars. REPEAT CHORUS But ya know, every life needs some rain/Every life needs some pain/It makes us who we are. It makes us who we are. No rain makes shallow water (people). No rain makes wells go dry (the depths of our souls will go dry) without the rain, yeah. Rain, rain don't go away, I need you sometimes. Rain, rain wash the pain away and make me stronger, oh make me stronger, oh make me stronger day by day. Oh rain on me. Oh rain on me, I need some rain.
WHITE WOLF & THE KING OF WANDS -Angel Pam West & Elizabeth Howell (5:28) All of her life, she has felt the drumming of his heart upon the earth. Has he heard the cry of the White Wolf-The scream of the separate from the Central Sun? She sees the mirror of his face, she hears the whispers of his voice in her soul . . . always in her soul. King of Wands in a crystal cave/Glitter, gold and jewels abound for your name. There false love is always thrown at your feet As the White Wolf sings on. As the White Wolf sings on. Can you feel her truth in the fire of her song? Can you see her, King of Wands, through your prison door? Awaken from the dream, return to the One. All of her life she has waited while he played the game of fools. So long she has watched as he turned his vision downward/Away from the Sun. Beloved spirits, they walk beyond illusion, they dance in perfect union-violet flame consuming. King of Wands hears the echo of thunder from the not so distant split of time. Will he walk with her through the grail gateway? As the White Wolf sings on. As the White Wolf sings on. Can you hear her truth in the fire of her song? Can you see her, King of Wands, through your prison door?Awaken from the dream, return to the One . . .Return to the One
ONE OF THOSE DAYS-Angel Pam West (4:00) Please leave me alone. Just leave me alone. Woke up on the wrong side of bed/Nightmares still foggy in my head/I don't want to face the world today/Besides, they sky looks a little too gray for me. I guess it's going to be one of those days/A day when nothing seems to go my way/I wish I could just go back to bed, pull the covers over my head- Curl up into myself, forget the world exists/Please leave me alone. Just leave me alone. Think of all the things I have to do/It makes it hard when I feel so blue/I drink my tea and try to clear the haze/Then I step outside and it begins to, it begins to, It begins to rain. Why does it always seem to happen to me? Well, I guess . . . I guess it's going to be one of those days/A day when nothing seems to go my way/Slap a smile upon my face, pretend the human race/Cares I have a soul-forget that I can feel. Please leave me alone. Just leave me alone.

BARGAIN BINS OF LIFE-Angel Pam West, Chris Otto Frohring & Erik Diaz (3:47) You can't go window shopping and expect that you will find all the answers to the questions in your mind. You have to dig quite deeper to find the truth sometimes. It's always hiding, in the bargain bins of life. CHORUS: If you open up your mind and take a long hard look inside yourself. Ask and you might receive. Seek and you shall find. Knock and the door will be opened to you. Doo doot do. Some people just don't get it. They live on hate and greed. They don't know that the best things in life are always free. The spark that lives inside you is all that you will ever need, But just remember who made the blind man to see. Oh… REPEAT CHORUS
SHE WENT DOWN TO THE GARDEN -Chris Otto Frohring, Angel Pam West Dedicated to my grandfather, Anthony J. West, and my uncle, Lee West, who passed through the porthole during the past year. She went down to the garden and she pulled up all the flowers. The frost had come to quickly and she didn't have a chance to say goodbye. There's a time to run. There's a time to play. Don't wait, just say, what you need to say. One more sunset. One more light grows dim. She could wait for winter to come creeping in her bones, or she could wait for sunshine to bring warmth again, despite the hollow cold. There's a time to live, and there's a time to cry. Don't fight, just sigh, everything has to die. (Swingin' bassoon solo) There's a time to love, and there's a time to be. Just know that with the end of the snow, there comes another spring. One more sunset. One more light grows dim.
Special Bonus Track (straight from the Tascam hiss box in my basement) IT'S A DOG'S LIFE-Angel Pam West & Moses the Musical Wonder Dog I like to sleep all day after I howl at the moon. Then I chew a few shoes before scarfin some food, yeah. Oh, baby, you know. It's a dog's life. I like to get a little tail when I'm not chasin' my own. When I sniff your butt, I'm just sayin' hello! Ooo, baby, you know. It's a dog's life. Oh yeah, it's the good life. It's a dog's life. I run down the road just as free as a bird, now. People talk but I don't understand a word they say. I wag my tail and they give me a bone. Then I give 'em a little lick and Oooo they take me home!!! Oh, baby you know, it's a dog's life. Oh, it's the good life…it's a dog's life. My master, he says he's always jealous of me. When he dies he wants to come back to be, guess what, of course. It's a dog's life. So when you get the blues, take a tip from me! Roll in something dead and chase a cat up a tree, yeah! You'll feel better, I'm sure, 'cause it's a dog's life. Oh yeah, it's the good life…it's a dog's life. Uh huh.
