My Blues
....
The sweet smile on my face
Turned cheap, vile and out of place
My cheeks won’t change shape, go away
....
No sleep, that’s okay
Believing you’d stay awake
Just speak and that’d take away my pain
....
The sun’s a thief
He haunts my dreams
And leaves me with his grief
....
My blood is green
It’s Listerine
I bleed to clean my teeth
....
If I’m sick let me know
All the symptoms clearly show
I’m good as a coffin in a hole
....
Backpack, backyard, now I’m back to where I started
You’re good as a bullet in my heart
You’re good as a bullet in my heart
....
Stand back my dear
You don’t come near
Yeah you don’t want to hear
....
To hear my blues, my rage
My moods, my hate
That keeps me far away
....
Save a Cowboy, Ride a Horse
....
What a plan, got me stuck right where you want
Hit my head on the backside of your gun
Shit man, she’s got ways to make you talk
....
She shook me off, right off my course
So save a cowboy, ride a horse
....
Be my friend, tell me all you’ve got to say
Hold my hand and I’ll probably be okay
Shit man, she’s got ways to make you pay
....
She shook me off, right off my course
So save a cowboy, ride a horse
....
Give me love, honey, shake me to my core
Take a rich mans heart and give it to the poor
Shit mam’ please come back to me, amore
....
She shook me off, right off my course
So save a cowboy, ride a horse
She made me feel like nothing worse
So save a cowboy, ride a horse
....
Workin’ for the Law
....
Workin’ for the law, we never give up
We drink from our bold ancestor’s cup
A killing spree shook me to my teeth
Take pity on me, I’m sad and shocked
You could call it a war, you could call it protection
Point fingers at me, but I’m just doing my job
....
And they took my house
And they took my money
And they took my family on a killing spree
....
Give it all you’ve got, it’s worth your best shot
When you fall to the bottom gotta get back on top
I had a fleeting thought
That I too forgot
It was a steep steep drop but now’s no time to stop
Dust was blowing in my face
And kids were screaming in my ears
And all I felt was my tears and the weight of my loss
And the screams got so loud
When I fell to the ground and I prayed to God and my eyes
fell shut
....
And I wasn’t in hell and I wasn’t in heaven
I was so much higher than that, you can’t even imagine
I was free from the land, somehow I got away
Some people said that I left but I’d say I escaped
....
Workin’ for the law, we never give up
We take what we can until you’re gone
....
Suit and Tie
....
I wear a suit and tie now, I must look so smug
I’m sure it’s been a while since I gave you a hug
But I do love you, I do
....
We used to be so simple, we used to be in love
We used to sit around in my back yard catching bugs
Oh I do remember that, don’t you?
....
I always wore green pants and I always had a grin
You always had green plants growing out of your skin
I remember, I was afraid to pick them
....
In photographs and films I could not tell us apart
There were epitaphs and strings on the brinks of our hearts
But we loved that, oh we loved that
....
Yeah, we used to run everywhere, we would always run
We used to race each other and you always won
But I won all our dollhouse smash-em-ups
....
Now we lie to best friends and drive around in cars
We barely know each other, our interaction’s sparse
Oh my god, look where we are
....
I never found your secret, never cared enough to look
I never read the words at the end of your book
But I should
My lord I shook
My lord I shook
My lord I shook
....
Sunshine
....
Down in Mississippi…
....
Well I went to Californ I A
But I forgot my grocery list
So I stopped in the store for some lingerie
Everyone’s talkin’ bout magnets
....
There were chimps carving words in banana peels
Pimpslappin’ birds with their dirty heels, oh lord
....
There were lovebirds all the way from hell
We all got along quite well
....
Let the sun shine all night long
....
Met a mullet grunge trucker in a tricked out beamer
Opened his mouth and gave me his fever
It was the greatest story ever told on this winding grinding
bumpy road
....
Let the sun shine all night long
....
Drinking wine out a glass for beer
4 windows and 15 mirrors
....
Let the sun shine all night long
....
Apple of My Eye
....
Apple of my eye, I love the way you talk
I love the way you sing me to sleep every night
Straight into a mine-field on dreams
....
Apple of my eye, you’re heart is full of blue
That’s how I know it’s you
I’ll love and treat you right, there is nothing I’d rather
do
....
Please look at me, how you haunt my dreams
Please talk to me, have a heart
Let me see, see, see, see
....
Apple of my eye, I love the way you swing
I love the way you dance, girl, dance away the night
Oh it’s such a sight to be seen
....
I was all alone, I couldn’t see a thing
But then I saw your face
40 watts of light shot right through my eyes to my brain
....
This aint’ the first time that I’ve loved, don’t be blind
Don’t think yourself fine, though you are
Please look at me, how you haunt my dreams
Please talk to me, have a heart
Let me see, see, see, see
....
Please Don’t be Lonely
....
Please don’t be lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely,
lonely, low
Don’t be lonely, lonely, low
Don’t be lonely, lonely, low
Please don’t be lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely,
lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, low
Please don’t be lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely,
lonely, low
Please don’t be lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely,
lonely, lonely
....
David’s Interlude
....
Bodies tangled in a photo, social but removed
Highways stripping off their pavement, David’s Interlude
....
We know who you are and we don’t like you so far
We know who you are and we don’t like you so far
....
Oceans melting into forests drying into deserts
Angels listening to music, washing off their feathers
We all catch the bone, catch the bone, catch the bone
We all catch the bone, catch the bone, catch the bone
....
Hardships turning into starships turning into stars
Hardships turning into starships turning into stars
....
Spiderwebs
....
My poor body’s pumpin’, high force machines rustlin’
In drawers and under beds, my love, in spiderwebs
In jars, bottles and cans my heart can be at rest
In parks and widows beds my heart is home at last
Empty dark basements, my love
....
Second Best Lover
....
Morning pills through dollar bills, ecstasy and surgery
And being with me is better than weed, I’ll take you higher
than the highest tree
And the stars up above. I’m your second best lover, you told
me so
Second best lover, don’t let go
....
Afternoons in black balloons, cracks and dents and accidents
And plaque on your teeth, practice your two-step
Cause god is waiting for your dance
And he don’t look impressed, you’re too sober and dressed
Oh, go to hell
He wished you the best in a wishing well
....
Kiss my soul, stitch my shoe
Fix my heart, it’s torn apart by
Christmas and lust
Bitches like us always end up in a fucking cage
And we spit on the floor
Cause the man is a whore, my god he is
The man is a whore, my god he is
....
Whiskey on the Stones
....
I cut my lip sipping on the blood of god
From a broken China cup
The liquids mixed and the taste was strange enough
I knew that this would happen all along
What went wrong?
....
We had a fight in a broken down motel
The room we left was filled with mushroom clouds
You told me I was selfish, what the hell?
It was the strangest thing I’d ever felt
What the hell?
....
I’m spending all these nights in bed alone
Drinking whiskey on the stones
She’s at partys taking off her clothes
She told me I was selfish, I’m alone
....
You’re so cold
You’re so cold
You’re so cold
....
The clock was tick-tick-talkin’ on the phone
It’s tellin’ me to hit the fucking road
The trees and growing new leaves
The Moon is full
It’s such a beautiful day, I’m going home
Going home
Going home
Going home
Going home
Going home
Going home
Going home
....
Home
....
Don’t be a stranger, won’t you say hi
Watching the snowflakes float in the sky
They’ll be alright, you should just come inside
....
He was a child of sweetness and charm
Folding a broken wing in his arm
That’s how he’ll get there, that’s how he’ll fly to the
stars
....
Now you’re so old, you’re so grey, you’re so white
You’re so cold, you’re so brave, it’s alright
....
Come on inside
Come on inside
Come on inside
Come on inside
