Pinyon Viscosity

Stark naked Judge passes camp
as he’s making the rounds
What he finds is what he’s found
Twenty heads with ears to the ground
Whoa ooh whoa
What’s your velocity?
What’s your trajectory?
Got a bag of slugs
Pinyon viscosity

Moon and Submoon

Tall lights on the route tonight
Neon strobes in the horse stalls
Men in greasy suits up against the wall
+ the wolves are screaming at the moon
I suppose the same
can be said for those
who are dead
But who the hell knows?

Straw Army

It’s a straw army, oh no
They’ve come to get us, put us in I suppose
Should we wait right here
Go find a cave to hide in
Or head on down to Old Mexico
A straw army
Coming on down the road

Ox Moscow

Gibberish and sibboleths
The war of which you speak
And all the words you seek
Fall on Deaf Ears
Gotta get a ride
to Ox Moscow
Gonna get a rise
in Ox Moscow (x 5)

Rattlesnake Master

Master of none
Gonna kill my son
If the end reveals
what the book done told
Human heads bought and sold

Execution Museum

The skin from scalps is sticky
The Judge, with hand on his . . .
turns sand to blood as he
smiles, spits he tells me
It’s the start of your death
And you know nothing yet
The light’s gone and wretched
Curl in a coil, their last rites
Howl of squalor
now relish your appetities
[and the rest of us
slouch and bear witness]
Execution Museum (x 3)

Lonesome Whistle

The sun is up and yet I see no sky
The zephyr scalds and the well is dry
Ants crawl into the eaves and sicken the settlers with their poisoning
We promised a tramp that we’d set up camp but we changed our minds
The answer to our prayers is the iron road

Colonel Cactus

Colonel Cactus lead his army
into Cochise Stronghold
Has one friend and one companion
But they don’t see his nose grow
He drinks like he knows it
He fights to expose its
His nose is burnt and his face glows red
A life well lived is better off dead
He’s my repository

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.

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!

End of the Road

Now Jon is gone
And the life to which we held on

Hold my head and cry
in this motel room, alone

Heaven, remake me
Please don’t forsake me
Never mistake me
for someone else

Policeman at the door
This is the end of the road

Heaven, remake me
Please don’t forsake me
Never mistake me
for someone else

Runnin' on Empty

They’re coming up fast
and we’re moving too slow
There is no place to go, Jon
And the suns goin’ down
We’ve run of road, when
push comes to shove
we’ve run out of luck
we’ve run out of love

We’re runnin’ on empty
Gotta keep runnin’
But we’re runnin’ on empty
Gotta keep runnin’
Runnin’ on empty
We gotta keep runnin’
Runnin’ on empty
We gotta keep runnin’

Jon started the car,
leaves K behind
As the cops move in
flashing lights on the motel sign

We’re runnin’ on empty
We’re runnin’ on empty
We gotta keep runnin’
Runnin’ on empty
We gotta keep runnin’
We gotta keep runnin’
Runnin’ on empty

Golden Grass

Baby baby baby please

Ode to St. Cloud

Take my hand
Give it up
We want it all
We’ve had enough

Hit the lights
Up all night
Find our love
Fuck our life

Fuck the future
Bury the past
We got each other
We’re built to last

O, Milwaukee
So unfair
Revolution

And the sirens blare
Where are you K?
Where are you K?

Johnny & Kay

Johnny & K lived in the suburbs till they got away
He stole a car, picked her up at White Hen, they were saved

They were searching for God
They were seeking adventure
They were searching for a way

Johnny tells K, your grand, you’re the one & we’ve got it made
K said to Jon, you better slow down, we’ve still a long way
They leave Illinois behind
A map line, tears in their eyes

And Johnny tells K, I cannot slow down, let’s make our own stakes
And K says to Jon, let’s put on the brake, we’ve made a mistake

Fear stakes us to the soil
Fear makes our skins a boil
Plot our steerage thru the toil
Fear stakes us to the soil

Go fast go far die forever
Go fast go far die unloyal
Go fast go far die forever
