American Spirit 04:15
lyrics
buy track
American spirit rising up now While the snow is falling down, Down, down, down I wash my hands in cold hot water Thinking the girl will get hotter and hotter and hotter Sunny girl, don't be gone in the morning It all melts away Into the bottom of a blueberry hill Swaying like your mother down on capital hill I know you think something will go wrong The smell of frankincense and murder Is dodging all it's worth, but I'm effervescent You lie there waiting for my ghost to absorb you And kiss your mouth, oh yes we're coming to get you! Sunny girl, don't be gone in the morning It all melts away Into the bottom of a blueberry hill Swaying like your mother down on capital hill I know you think something will go wrong And, see, this ain't your future or a cheap night thrill It's kind of like blessing that old man on the hill But you still want something to go wrong Our footprints are elusive We can just float over town Our madness turns to sadness And leaves you hanging upside down Sunny girl, don't be gone in the morning It all melts away

Lonely, Lonely, Lonely 05:59
lyrics

Sometimes, I go a little crazy With your over the edge antics And your voice belting at me Lately, every time I'm with you I think of how I'll kill you Without ruining my pants And I look in your eyes like I would a sunrise But you don't seem to look back at me The tumbleweed blew by in between our lives But you still never look back at me Lonely, lonely, lonely, that's what I am I know I've got you, but do you really need me? Well, I just want to be a man with a beard and a tan Instead I'm 5'4 and have trouble opening doors I drink whiskey everyday just to make a few chest hairs stay And say "I love you" just to stay warm Sometimes, I go a little crazy With your over the edge antics And your voice belting at me Lately, down in New York City I hear every single woman Is a bitch like you And I look in your eyes like I would a sunrise But you don't seem to look back at me The tumbleweed blew by in between our lives But you still never look back at me Lonely, lonely, lonely, that's what I am I know I've got you, but do you really need me? You mask wearing fool, I never asked for you I asked for that girl with the sun in her eyes And the one who stole my heart Well, I just want to be a man with a beard and a tan Instead I'm 5'4 and have trouble opening doors I drink whiskey everyday just to make a few chest hairs stay And say "I love you" just to stay warm Lonely, lonely, lonely, that's what I am I know I've got you, but do you really need me?

Backporch Dream 04:03
lyrics

Why is everyone smiling? Didn't they hear about me? I'm going through a minor depression over a girl in Mississippi The world is full of lovers and loving was our game We melted into one and now we cannot be the same Everyone's got the potential to believe in hypocrisy But no one can believe that there's virtue in mystery The autumn leaves are changing into a beautiful brown Soon they'll fall and hit the ground, but what happens after that? It's a Backporch dreaming, back porch dreaming day Backporch dreaming, back porch dreaming day Backporch dreaming, thoughtless gazing day Backporch dreaming, back porch dreaming day Come on hear the music! It's right in front of your eyes This is not about you, but it certainly is if you try I want a beautiful romance or maybe a brand new car Or maybe be a type C dead man so I can fix this broken heart Second to the right and straight on 'til the morning This is where the stars may hit you in the face and I was caught by a lady who had me at 'hello' This is not about me. It's about us... It's just a dream...

Jesus Wept 03:34
lyrics

I'm under the road You're driving alone It's the closest we've been Since God won a Grammy And Beatles please pleased me And smoking's a sin Don't bash all the schmucks You're pushing your luck You might just have to get up.... Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up And if you may need me I'll be on the TV Fake to your face And when you are swimming In pools of forgiveness Please don't breathe in And if you may see me Please don't believe me You might just have to get up.... Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up Don't call me by name! And if you may need me I'll be on the TV Smoking a cig

Soda Shop 05:39
lyrics

Janey suck your thumb 'til the morning comes You've been lying there waiting to become Beautiful again Why you moved the knife across your skin I grabbed a gin and tonic, and I coaxed you to stay still You're blue again Staring at the back of a soda shop Taking off your top for all the boys to see Let's do it again Maybe someday soon you'll grab my chin And kiss me on the mouth babe Oh, kiss me again Everyone's crawling away from this place Pale blue blanket is grabbing my shins Pull it off Come on and see my sin I'm dew drops! I'll disappear! Grab me by the hand while I act sincere! You're screaming again! Everyone's crawling away from this place Oh No, You did it Again, and Again, and Again, and Again

Chicago Night 03:58
lyrics
buy track
And if I go I might be cleaved Shut down by the mercy of the nunnery Dancing with the bears and grabbing at the seams Don't ask me why just sing with me Cause I'm groovin' low on the Audubon Seein' faxes flying through the air How can I die when I'm already there? Dancing with the dancing bears And the fishes ain't swimmin' with the Mississippi queen They're swimming away making tidal waves of dreams Grabbing their coats to protect from the wind The water's all gone, The water's all sin Cause I'm groovin' low on the Audubon Seein' faxes flying through the air How can I die when I'm already there? Dancing with the dancing bears And the Sousou'o is floating in the Chicago wind Break my back, Break it again And the Sousou'o is floating in the Chicago wind Break my back, Break it again And every chance I get I'll bottle up these pages! And every chance I get I'll bottle up this fight! And every chance I get I'll bottle up these pages! And every chance I get I'll bottle up this fight!

Don't Stop Me! 05:39
lyrics
buy track
Have your cheers And swallow your fears with mellow yellow Is it the worst to be confused? Stuck in two Today is golden, and you danced in the dark Your room is smoking, and you stoked the blaze Your trail is washed away, but you kept on moving Is it true? You choked truth Stuck in two? Screaming blue Your parade is screaming, "Throw me something, Mister!" Flashing lights, down in the west where the grass is greener Beat your chest, it's the dead of winter Come here faith you're running, and my feet are frozen Frozen, Frozen, Frozen, Frozen, Frozen, Frozen, Frozen The ocean is wild and moving And you feel the ghosts are soothing Straight to the knife you're running Splitting this painting! Is it true? You choked truth Stuck in two? Screaming blue Your parade is screaming, "Throw me something, Mister!" And you're stripping off clothes And you're running the road Screaming, "Someone please kick me!" And you're dancing alone And you're breaking your rope Begging someone to kiss you And when we're talkin' bout the War of the Ghosts! Someone stop me, Just try and stop me Don't Stop Me! Don't Stop Me! Don't Stop Me! Loving the moonlight on your breasts And the scent of your breath While you're begging for best and singing And singin', Singin', Singin'!, "AVE MARIA"! I'm skin and bones! I'm skin and bones! I'm skin and bones! I'm skin and bones! I'm skin and bones! I'm skin and bones! I'm skin and bones! I'm skin and bones! Bones!

Monster Town 04:05
lyrics
buy track
Johnnys on the front porch bringing in the weed His mind's on the apocalypse, He trembles at his knees Chokes on a cough drop and stumbles down the stairs Feeling the rush of the wind, the mad dog yells The monster stole my soul, Ain't it so I am my father's son, Don't it show Mary said aloud, "You oughta get that boy!" Put him in the yard and take away his toys But the law ain't lookin' cause he's got the right name The towns gone down since they shipped in all the cane Preachers in the TV breeding ignorance His mind's on the apocalypse collecting ten percent But the law ain't lookin' cause he's got the right name On the top left corner of a fat check It's a shame it stole my soul, Ain't it so I am my father's son, Don't it show The monster stole my soul, Don't it show? I am my father's son, Ain't it so, Don't it show Ain't it so
