Gust

Was a gust of wind
and it blew me off
like a snowflake
what the fuck

All we want is all we love
All we want is all we hate
All we know is all we know (x2)

Took my hat to the hills
So I swallowed my pills
Got the drift
Got the whiff
Be back in a jif

All we know is all we know

Gotta mess with the mix
See what I can fix

Get out of the bars
Get out of the cars
Get into the street
And lets make a mess
Target our enemies

Make em see

Where is the left

If they came around
Would you believe them?

The dems are hypocrites
they sold out to Wall Street

We need unity

We need to build from scratch
A new society

Too much armchair talk
Too much infighting

Too much pointing fingers

Fuck Supremacists
Fuck the Racists

Tiki Satanism

Tiki Satanism
American hedonism and the fall of Rome
Try to stop breathing
Fill your vessel with sand
Sigh in the sea wind
Lose sight of land

Take off your visor
Take off your vest
The drama you crave is
An infinite jest

You cannot see Him
But you’ll call him Man

And you’ll martyr yourself
For the promised land

Try to stop breathing
Fill your vessel with sand
Sigh in the sea wind
Lose sight of land

Take off your visor
Take off your vest
The drama you crave is
An infinite jest

Drink without meaning on the tiki veranda
Whiskey and sunburn and waterproof camera

Coladas and Christ in this new world you’re braving
Apocalypse tongue and nicotine craving

And nicotine craving
And nicotine craving
And nicotine craving

The birds in the trees
can see that we’re grieving

We sleep under skins
And falsify dreams

The birds in the trees
can see that we’re scheming

We sell out their skins
And fabricate dreams

No more lies

Pop the corks and gather in the hall
For the sum of all we've fought
Line those men against the fucking wall

Against the wall (You want it all)

Against the wall (You want it how?)

In my head is a ravaged place
Where spirits make the call
In my head is a wild place
Where the gods are blind and our limits die

Gather hearts of darkness

The Rest of Us Are Singing

I'd never written a song longer than 5 minutes.

Apocalypse brethren
The deal is done
The world shifted
Our world is undone

Apologist breath-men
The world has moved on
We sing to ourselves
With our guns drawn

Put a fork in it

The men of the world
have a settle to score

Look in the mirror
And see the lord and his domain
— Suzerain

Empty your pockets
Strip all the sockets
Hollow the bunkers
And fill them with lead

Points are hollowed
Lies are swallowed
Cowardice reeks like a rotten egg

And now they beg

To be heard and to be feared
To untaste the rainbow
To unfeel the moon dust
To unsee the curved horizon
To undo 500 years

The apocalypse brethren
Will defeat the dead
They sing to themselves
With their guns drawn

Sleep with the lights on

You mutter to yourself
With your gun drawn
A morning song
While the rest of us are singing

Our world is undone

Put a fork in it

High Beams

He watched them alive at the beach in the sun
As the waves crashed the shore he reloaded his gun
And he prayed, and he prayed for an answer

All night on the road as he drove for the pines
With his high beams

Alert looking out for a sign that might save him
That might make him feel
That might save him

He knew what he was
She knew what he is
He knew how to die
She knew how to live

They came from the town to the site where she passed
In a whirl of leaves in the tall autumn grass
They buried her there in the neck of the woods
Where the man was last seen as a shadow

He knew what he was
She knew what he is
He knew how to die
She knew how to live

Wet Cigarettes

Several strains of searching shape the signal
Mate or mingle test with feelers false or real

If there's a chance that things make sense
We will go to New Orleans
Wear some love beads and I'll ask you to dance

If you say no I'm sure you will, I'll put on a carnival mask
With rabbit ears and elephant tusks, and we'll dance

And the song will end and the dance will die
For those of us who never tried to see into the other. . .

I have found a heart I think, and maybe I'll buy you that bike
Green in color just your height
And in the car past LSU, we'll smoke a cigarette or two
Two packs later I'll tell you

I had a dream inside a store with windows gracing every floor
And in the lobby heated well, people shuffled through the door
And you and I were standing there, my fingers tangled in your hair
Skin so soft upon my cheek, I've found a heart I'd like to keep

But what is in a dream I tell you
Nothing in a dream could sell you
We'll just keep on driving till the sun sets off the night.

So I trashed the map

Haven’t said a word

With the lights off (baby)
With the lights off hey hey hey

If I had a choice
I’d listen every hour to your heart
If I had a choice

I heard what you said
With the lights off (baby)
With the lights off hey hey hey (x2)

I'm hearing your heart
Ticking off every hour
ticking off every hour (x2)

Listening to the sound of your heart (x 8)

Heap of Coal

Wrote a book last Saturday night
Heap a coal in my pocket
Wino with a brass locket
Wrote a book last Saturday night

Just a weekend fling
And the birds all sing (x 3)

Staple it to the net
Staple it to my head (x2)

Sex at the Bar

Ancient winos and wilderness men
Six rum runners with skin like ham
I’ll see you to hell for Uncle Sam
I’ll pay you for love but it’s a scam

Seeking salt and thyme
and hot sex at the bar
With a pickling jar

(Full of plastic crustaceans)

Words I Breathe

The tide swings out
The soft wet wind
It pulls me down
It drags me in

Sun shade suck
and blanket skin
Icy witch
and next of kin

You are / the word (x4)

The words I breathe

Boat Blind

Stop the press
Gotta fish on the line
He’s a roundabout boy
With a wobbly mind

He’s a waving at me
Boat Blind (x3)

As the boat spits foam
And the little boy moans
And the pressure drops
And there’s no way home

Boat Blind (x3)

Blue Light

On a blue black night
In the milk soft sun
On a moon black bus
In this sordid hour
On a blue black night

On this sun lit plain
I see your color drained
I taste the words I spit
On this sun lit plain

Smoke fills our charcoaled lungs

Doldrums

We can’t keep ‘em in line
But we’re better than fine
Got my jordache jeans
And a bottle of wine
It’s the blues tonight
But the morning will shine
Got an eye on the prize
And a pool hall smile
Taking all comers
March on down
to the accordion show
It’s a bummer
The lessons we burn
are the only ones we know
We can’t keep ‘em in line
But we’re better than fine
Got an eye on the prize
And a bottle of wine
It’s the blues tonight
But the morning will shine
Got my jordache jeans
And a pool hall smile

Not Cordial

I could have said no
I could have gone home
Cuz I get so tight,
 and I get all hazed
And the haunted streets are a wobbly maze

It’s crazy how I
Fell toward you

4001

4001
Gotta find my strength
Gonna hit up Wags
Gonna by a gun
Gonna watch the shit spill
At 4001
See their little eyes
See their Harvard smiles
See their tiny hands
See their soft tomorrows
Gonna buy a gun
Gonna settle the deal
Gonna make them one
At 4001
I love them so
They just don’t know

Birdlife

Can we figure out life at the age of five?
Do we have to deceive to keep love alive?
Is it part of the game to live without a name
It's a day in the life

November Rain rather November shame
Is it time to acquit playing Dec games?
When the cost is too much will we know it's enough
Or will April become another Grovian bluff

The scheme of the eve the equatorial scenes
of the past they remind me of a warm Hallow's eve
With love in the air and a shadowy stare
From the Capitol lights to the Dane County Fair

Again it is spring and the sparrows will sing
From the branches about their romanticist flings
I am living a lie and I'm leaving with grace
Why marry a girl when you can marry a place?

It's Birdlife

I see what you want me to be

It's Birdlife

The Stars At Noon

Summer was a psychic blast till autumn drew her fangs
Winter came all white like diamonds in a glitter range

Through all the losses we've known
Through all the cuts we've sewn

April washed off dust and kicked it toward the moon
Dusted off our shades at night and gazed upon the stars at noon

Safety Hawk at the Miranda

From the 608, to the 520, to the 928, to the 520
From the 305, to the 505, to the 666, to the 999

We started first we meant to last and put it to a song
And now we know the love we had we knew it all along

Barelas

Bright lights we move along
This is is a morning song
Catch her before she falls
Please lift her up before she's gone

My heart's an open plain
For things we can't explain
The bones are piling up
We hold our hearts and dig mass graves

Bright lights we move along
This is a morning song
Catch her before she falls
Please lift her up before she's gone

Autumn is here again the leaves fall down from up above
The flaming sun swings up as we bury the ones we love

My heart's an open plain
For things we can't explain
The mesa's coming up
We fill our cups at the B Café

We can't feel anything
We can't do anything

Some night but not tonight
Some day but not today

Nights of June

Plum night in this whiskey village
He knows right
Lots of worms and pillage

He'll ream tonight and scream
At their clawing on the walls

He'll dream tonight and waste
all the wicked in the halls

Hear them breathing in the cellar
Taste 'em on the harvest moon
Rhythm like the clutching daggers
Never kill the Knights of June (x2)

Plum night, in this whiskey village
He knows right and screams
at the clawing on the walls

Western Soft

Western soft

Western soft and now we're off somehow

The painted dawn is rarely wrong and how

Girls go west to find success
or fall unto an early death

The light that bleeds inside us leaves somehow

Trailers crash and flags half-mast

Stars in the Cave

Ride that bike
Don't look below
To the stars in the cave
and the buffalo
to the hearts you broke
and the things you know

Drink away the sins you lost
the Jackson Hole
and the Holocaust
the Indian Graves
and the things that rust

(you must)

Be brave, old man
Get saved, old man

Ride that bike
Down down down down down

Hey

Hey

You know what you want but it scares you
You live in a trap and it snares you
You'd head for the road if you could
But you can't so you won't and that's that

Hey

The world in your heart shouldn't scare you
Don't let the others control you
You know in your heart that its true
Yes you do

Hey

The wind will come and blow it down, take it all away
The winds will come, the house, the car
Sweep it all away
Wasted years, one thousand tears
Give it all away

Hey

Don't fear what you want cuz it scares you. . .

Mesa

I'm at the Pine Low
Not at the Mesa
Time and space surveys us
Never though obeys us

I'm at the High Cloud
Above the mesa
Life is ours and it saves us
Ephemeral in stasis

(Yes it is)

Till time erases us (x3)

Hey!
Hey!

High Beams

He watched them alive at the beach in the sun
As the waves crashed the shore he reloaded his gun
And he prayed, and he prayed for an answer

All night on the road as he drove for the pines
With his high beams

Alert looking out for a sign that might save him
That might make him feel
That might save him

He knew what he was
She knew what he is
He knew how to die
She knew how to live

They came from the town to the site where she passed
In a whirl of leaves in the tall autumn grass
They buried her there in the neck of the woods
Where the man was last seen as a shadow

He knew what he was
She knew what he is
He knew how to die
She knew how to live

Wet Cigarettes

Several strains of searching shape the signal
Mate or mingle test with feelers false or real

If there's a chance that things make sense
We will go to New Orleans
Wear some love beads and I'll ask you to dance

If you say no I'm sure you will, I'll put on a carnival mask
With rabbit ears and elephant tusks, and we'll dance

And the song will end and the dance will die
For those of us who never tried to see into the other. . . 

I have found a heart I think, and maybe I'll buy you that bike
Green in color just your height
And in the car past LSU, we'll smoke a cigarette or two
Two packs later I'll tell you

I had a dream inside a store with windows gracing every floor
And in the lobby heated well, people shuffled through the door
And you and I were standing there, my fingers tangled in your hair
Skin so soft upon my cheek, I've found a heart I'd like to keep

But what is in a dream I tell you
Nothing in a dream could sell you
We'll just keep on driving till the sun sets off the night.
