All my roads are paved in good intentions Good intentions pave the roads to hell Hell on Earth, it isn't what it could be Could be I don't know where I belong I'm right here 'Cause here is where I'm wanted I'm right here 'Cause here is where I want to Stay With me and forget all your troubles Trouble is, you're staying here with me Me, myself, I don't know what I'm after After this, I guess I'll come right back To right here 'Cause here is where I'm needed I'm right here 'Cause here is where I get to play I'm right here 'Cause here is where I'm needed I'm right here 'Because here is where I get it All My roads are paved in good intentions Good intentions pave the roads to hell

"Tortured Artist" There goes my disappointment, the fly in the ointment has -- flown I thought I had all the answers, it turned out that I was -- wrong I’m all thumbs, dropping the ball and locked out in the hall it’s too -- late I guess that I should start sooner, what can I do that’s my -- fate You think I should work through it, but I just keep loosing what’s -- mine You think I’m a bit angry, and I might be but that’s just -- fine I’m on-time…. I show up at the wrong place Just in-time for a pie in the face And I’ll be Happy Wallowing in messes that I’ve made It brings on Inspiration Molding all these troubles that I’ve saved I just want to be there when the shit hits the fan Catch it all in a bucket And then use what I can… Filthy… Happy… ©2010 Todd Leiter-Weintraub

C'mon Angel 02:20
1. C'mon Angel, come on down Oh yeah, I know why you left town I've come all this way to find you Won't you please just come on down? I've been thinking 'bout the monsters I've been thinking 'bout them hounds I've been thinking I can duck ‘em Won't you please just come on down? -c- Well it won't be like it has been Though I can't tell you why I can't promise I'll be perfect But I can promise that I'll try If you'll just come back home with me We'll start up from the ground And we can make it better Won't you please just come on down? 2. C'mon Angel, come on please At least come have a talk with me I've got a lot I’ve need to tell you C'mon Angel, come on please Now I'm coming to your door You know we've been through this before And I know that you will let me in So let's talk a little more -c2- It'll be just like it has been Because I know you love your man And you know that I love you, girl More than either of us can stand Now I'm waiting for your answer I’m gonna take you back hometown I'm the only one who loves you Won't you please just come on down? (solo) (repeat –c2-) 3. Well now Angel, you forced my hand And I am a violent man But I've never been mad like this before You'd better run while you still can...

I'm Pathetic 03:12
1. She draws me in and strings me out Gives me something to feel bad about But ooohhh... That's nothing new She ties me up and drags me down She's my Cathy, I'm her clown But oooohhh She does tricks too So I'll still follow her around 2. Every step I take causes bones to break I never knew my knees could quake so easy It makes me queasy But I'll still follow her around - c - BECAUSE SHE'S MAGNETIC, AND I'M PATHETIC I GAVE IT AWAY, BUT I WON'T REGRET IT IT'S NOT EVERY DAY YOU FIND THE PAIN THAT YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR -solo- 3. I fall at her feet and she breaks my back By stepping on, then stepping back around I love that cracking sound So I'll still follow her around - c - BECAUSE SHE'S MAGNETIC AND I'M PATHETIC I GAVE IT AWAY BUT I WON'T REGRET IT IT'S NOT EVERY DAY YOU FIND THE PAIN THAT YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR SHE TIES ME UP AND DRAGS ME DOWN SHE'S MY CATHY AND I'M HER CLOWN IT'S NOT EVERY DAY YOU FIND THE PAIN THAT YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR..... ©2005 Todd Leiter-Weintraub

Were we lonely? I forget But I can't forget the way you looked The night that we first met It was Tuesday It was late But not too late to play the flirt Or play the hand of fate A smile hello Come on, let’s go The bar’s about to close “Here’s a pen, “I’ll call you when…” Were we happy? I forget But I can't forget the words you said When you said it should end I was happy What did you expect? But I didn’t expect the way I felt When you stayed in my head The urge to phone Come on, let’s go The show’s about to start “Hey, why not?, Another shot… As much as things were meant to be This was meant to be As much as this was meant to be Things were meant to be As much as things were meant to be You were meant for me As much as you were meant for me… Now where are we? How could I forget? We’re on the road, come on, let’s go… ©2007 Todd Leiter-Weintraub

Happy Days 02:47
Happy days are mine And nighttime leaves a good impression Got nothing but time But no time to wallow in depression Feeling wide awake I've shaken off the effects of morning The days is mine to take No time to heed overcautious warninga -c- Picked myself up out of bed Kicked all the gloom out of my head Saw the sun shine through the trees Down on to me My friends look at me strange They've never seen me quite this happy Such a sudden change From the depths I'd dredged before But they've all become glad For the happiness I've found A thing I've never had And thought I'd never have in store -c- na na na na na... (etc.)

In the dark, pre-dawn morning We wait for the bus As the sun slowly comes Feelings overcome us I'll be oceans away But I'm always close by I'll be back in a year If I survive the fight I will do what I'm told Because I'm told that it's right But when "right" seems so wrong Then I know I ain’t right Now I'm going off to fight For the ones that I'll kill If I come home with blood On my hands that I've spilled Oh, please take them in your hands Because I'll love you still... Say you will Say you will © 2005 Todd Leiter-Weintraub

about

What is Chicken on a Bicycle?

This is the album that I’ve wanted to make since I first started making music. I have indulged every single little whim and odd thought that time and money has allowed me. Each song has been treated as its own entity; each has received the arrangement and production that I think that it asks for; be it electronic, country, punk, bluegrass, pop, or whatever… no matter what other songs surround it.
It’s been a lot of fun stretching out, doing some different things, and working with different people. I hope that you’ll enjoy listening to the album as much as we enjoyed making it. Hell, if you enjoy it even half that much, the project will have been a success!
-Todd
