The Sight 03:58
lyrics
buy track
I don’t have the sight The future is always closed to me Especially where you’re concerned Please let’s not fight I’ll forget all the things you said of me Maybe then we could work it out together I won’t force your hand The cause and effect of our words come back on me Use all your magic, put us back together What if I ran? Would you come chasing after me? And if you caught up would you hold on forever? Don’t listen if you don’t want to I see complacency in your eyes And life will go on cause it’s got to Maybe, after all, I have the sight… the sight Caught up in the night The feeling isn’t right Would you believe me if I promised you heaven You play it like a scene Spurious and mean Are you laughing inside at the things I’m saying It’s in the air like a wind across our open wound There’ll come a time when it will feel better If you just don’t care Please have the mercy to walk away from me We’ll part never having dealt heart on heart together

One Long Song Ago 04:17
lyrics
buy track
I'm all out of words now I've told all my tales to you We don't live in a sweet melody if we did, I'd have sailed to you One long song ago We bet on our wishes forever what do you do when wishes come true We threw our hearts to the wind together but I left the encores up to you One long song ago I'm not a star, and you're not a princess This isn't a song or a scene from a play No happy endings obscuring our senses I can't go on hoping blindly this way anymore Not anymore I'm not a star, and you're not a princess This isn't a song or a scene from a play No happy endings obscuring our senses I can't go on hoping blindly this way anymore Not anymore I'm all out of time now It's all too clear, I was waiting in vain I'm all out of rhymes I can use I was sure I could take the blame One long song ago Long, long ago

And She Wonders 04:20
lyrics
buy track
She wakes up early every morning and gets ready for her day The cat can keep her company, though there isn’t much to say A cup of coffee in her hand and a paper she half reads The coffee’s cold and the cup half full by the time she has to leave And she wonders, why she has to work so hard to smile Why every foot she walks at work feels in her heart like miles and miles And she wonders where the prince they promised her when she was young has gone And time just passes, and passes, her by She has a friend or two she sees, not often or for long And a sometimes lover far away, who visits, then he’s gone She’s been burned before and closed that door but the memories still creep in of the Cinderella promises of childhood might-have-beens And she wonders, why she has to work so hard to smile Why every foot she walks at work feels in her heart like miles and miles And she wonders where the prince they promised her when she was young has gone And time just passes, and passes, her by Our young dreams get buried ‘neath the plodding minutes of our lives All the dull routines we fall into just trying to survive Until one day we wake up and wonder where the wonder’s gone And it’s then we’ll hear the child inside who’s been there all along No woman’s heart has ever aged an instant passed 18 Though the years paint on the mask of time that makes it hard to see And that prince who never came still holds a place in that young heart And she holds him close because letting go would tear her hopes apart And she wonders, why she has to work so hard to smile Why every foot she walks at work feels in her heart like miles and miles And she wonders where the prince they promised her when she was young has gone And time just passes, and passes, her by Time just passes, and passes…

Silent Lover 03:20
lyrics
buy track
I’ve been through the whole trip before I gave all I had to a love who needed more than any three lovers could give, and that’s no way to live Well, I’ve seen the mask by the door When we first met, that’s the face that she wore And I didn’t know who was left, and I don’t like to guess So I’ll be a silent lover Just holding you in my mind And I’ll stay a silent lover, and you will stay kind And I won’t have to watch love die again I won’t have to watch love die Once or twice I fell head over heart But the lovers I left, were just tearing me apart They complained that I just wouldn’t change, and they weren’t the same So I’ll be a silent lover Just holding you in my mind And I’ll stay a silent lover, and you will stay kind And I won’t have to watch love die again Loneliness isn’t the best way to feel But chameleon lovers will turn into others all my daydreams seem much more real So I’ll be a silent lover Just holding you in my mind And I’ll stay a silent lover, and you will stay kind And I won’t have to watch love die again No, never again I won't have to watch I won’t have to watch love die

The Dark 03:39
lyrics
buy track
Sometimes I see a door that’s closed That walks around in human clothes and more and more, no one can find the key And I wonder as I walk on by, is anything behind their eyes? The painted, varnished wood is all I see And I’ve been traveling forever, and there’s no road back Oh, it feels like I may never get the things I lack And the music only helps to hold the silence back But the dark keeps closing in “Well, we’re here to help,” I hear them say But what they do says, “go away, you’ll never find the help you really need.” And the law just helps to turn the screws, unless, of course, you’re wealthy too, you’ll never find the space to simply be On, a drowning man may kill you reaching for the air And a few insane may kill you just because you’re dark or fair But I’ll never understand the ones with graphite knives and paper guns and red tape hearts that beat but just don’t care... And I’ve been traveling forever, and there’s no road back And it feels like I may never get the things I lack And the music only helps to hold the silence back But the dark keeps closing in The dark keeps closing in

First you hurt me, I cried Then you left me, I died But you could come back babe, I wish ‘cause you’re my special love dish I love you, it’s true And my heart’s bleeding, true blue But you could stop it, like this… (snap) With just one dose of your kiss ‘Cause I’ve got a reminder Right in front of my eyes wherever I go Please remember I’ve got Fuzzy dice, hanging from my mirror Fuzzy dice, wish our love was clearer, than the Fuzzy dice you gave me last year Don’tcha know it I’ve got… Fuzzy dice, hanging from my mirror Fuzzy dice, wish our love was clearer, than the Fuzzy dice you gave me last year Oo-wah, oo-wah, oo-wah, oo-wah Oo-wah, oo-wah, oo-wah, oo-wah Love was easy, black and white Just like my fuzzy dice But there were other fellas in your eyes And you were tellin’ love lies Then I opened my hand And you were spilling like sand Through my fingers now, I’m sad The pain I feel is so bad ‘Cause I’ve got a reminder Right in front of my eyes wherever I go Please remember I’ve got Fuzzy dice, hanging from my mirror Fuzzy dice, wish our love was clearer, than the Fuzzy dice you gave me last year Don’tcha know it I’ve got… Fuzzy dice, hanging from my mirror Fuzzy dice, wish our love was clearer, than the Fuzzy dice you gave me last year Oo-wah, oo-wah, oo-wah, oo-wah Oo-wah, oo-wah, oo-wah, oo-wah Fuzzy dice , oooo fuh, fuh, fuh Fuzzy dice, oooo Fuzzy dice, oooo fuh, fuh, fuh Fuzzy dice, oooo Fuzzy dice, right before my eyes (Rollin') Keeps you on my mind (Rockin' my fuzzy dice) For you, I would even trade away my fuzzy dice Dangling in my view wish I still had you Wah, wah, wah Please remember I’ve got Fuzzy dice, hanging from my mirror Fuzzy dice, wish our love was clearer, than the Fuzzy dice you gave me last year Don’tcha know it I’ve got… Fuzzy dice, hanging from my mirror Fuzzy dice, wish our love was clearer, than the Fuzzy dice you gave me last year Oo-wah, oo-wah, oo-wah, oo-wah Oo-wah, oo-wah, oo-wah, oo-wah oooo, Fuzzy dice

Fuzzy Nights Alone 04:22

She moved me so… How can I let her know I woke up this morning and I couldn’t find the floor Now I’m out with friends and I can’t think straight to save my life Just thinking about her turns my daytime into fuzzy nights I was driving up and down this boulevard Searching every face in every car My dice are swinging back and forth Like the ticking of a clock… tik tik tik I didn’t get a number or an address, I’m a fool That would be so desperate I thought I’d look uncool But I’d rather look uncool than be the fool that I am now But she’ll never even know it And I can’t tell her how… …fuzzy are my nights Think I forgot my name And nothing feels the same Just yesterday my future seemed so sure Now nights are fuzzy and obscure Fuzzy are my nights How clear I see her Didn’t know her, now I need her Fate is hiding her in the great unknown And now I spend my fuzzy nights alone Now I’ve searched the streets, and I’ve searched my heart, can’t shake this fear We’ll miss each other by seconds only and I’ll never hold her near Walking ‘neath the critical moon Praying to the stars for a sign or a clue The sound of my shoes in the dark Like the ticking of a clock… tik tik tik So sad I didn’t say a word when I knew I had the chance I let her walk away, like I was in a trance I’m no longer in a trance I’m just entranced and don’t know how to reinvent the moment so I can tell her now… …that fuzzy are my nights Think I forgot my name And nothing feels the same Just yesterday my future seemed so sure Now nights are fuzzy and obscure Fuzzy are my nights How clear I see her Didn’t know her, now I need her Fate is hiding her in the great unknown And now I spend my fuzzy nights alone Fuzz fuzz fuzzy fuzzy Fuzz fuzzy fuzzy fuzz Fuzzy fuzzy fuzzy fuzz Fuzzy is as fuzzy does Fuzz fuzz fuzzy fuzzy Fuzz fuzzy fuzzy fuzz Fuzzy fuzzy fuzzy fuzz Fuzzy was he was he fuzz are my fuzzy, fuzzy are my nights

Inward Looking Out 04:08
lyrics

We owe it to the children to shelter them from all the sadness We owe it to the hopeless to raise them up above the madness We owe it to ourselves to look for the happiness, do we, do we ever? We owe it to the sun to burn away the filth that hides it We owe it to the ocean to cleanse the refuse that defiles it We owe it to the Earth to look for an answer, are we, do we ever? We owe it to our past to heal the hateful and belligerent We owe it to our future to teach the frightened and the ignorant We owe it to ourselves to make a lasting effort, will we, will we ever? We owe it to the seasons now the summer seems too cold We owe it for the reason that because of us the Earth’s too old too soon We owe it to the children… we owe it to the truth We owe it to the sun… we owe it to the Earth (to save the world’s imperiled oceans) We owe it to our souls… (to wipe away the tear stains) We owe it to the seasons… we owe it for the reason… that we owe it to ourselves, to look… do we, will we ever

If She Breaks My Heart (will I die) 03:57
lyrics

We played like children till it was time to work or hide our secrets in our hands behind our backs We loved like dreamers It all seemed so forever, much more real than the remaining photographs Time never stumbles… not time I often stumble… unlike time We fought like lovers and barely scratched the surface, never hitting hard enough to really hurt Mother, if she breaks my heart… will I die? We quit like strangers The flower that we sowed and thought perennial lies dormant in the earth Time never stumbles… no, not time I often stumble… unlike time Mother, if she breaks my heart… will I die?

Hollow 04:41

She thinks what she needs most is a vacation She thinks that would cure her great fatigue I asked her what she’d do if she had all the time she wanted She said she’d sit at home and watch T.V. But that isn’t living, that’s just existing If that’s all you look for, that’s all you’ll find Sometimes you will lose It's a pain she's never faced ‘Cause she's brave enough to taste But she feels hollow Life is like meal And she’s taking little bites And she’s trying every dish But she don’t swallow She really does believe in ever after That someday she will meet her perfect prince But she’s running from the monsters that hide inside her walls And we who love her haven’t seen her since And that isn’t passion, that’s just pain If that’s what you look for, you’ll find the same She barely has a clue of who she has been So how can she know who she’s going to be She’s mixing tints & hues unaware she’s color blind But she knows lonely is a shade that you can breathe Sometimes you will lose It's a pain she's never faced ‘Cause she's brave enough to taste But she feels hollow Life is like meal And she’s taking little bites And she’s trying every dish Life is like meal And she’s taking little bites And she’s trying every dish But still feels hollow The less that you demand The more she’s got to give And she’ll touch you where you live But she don’t swallow No, she can’t swallow

about

Fuzzy Dice was going to be the second part of a "double album" with Random Magic, but I guess we don't need to do that anymore. So here it is as a standalone in all its glory.

Schweitzer Los Angeles, California

My brother started writing songs and that was the spark that started me on my own songwriting course that would last the rest of my life. I chose to use my surname, "Schweitzer," for practical reasons, realizing long ago that pronouncing "Richard Schweitzer" was difficult. "Schweitzer Projects" under the "tindog music & stuff" umbrella is producing songs in the Pop / Pop rock or folk categories ... more
