Road Games

We got in a fight
You got short with me
So I trashed the map
At the Triple T

Haven’t said a word
Since we crossed the line

We’re doing fine
We’re doing time
We’re doing the cockroach
What’s yours is mine

Now it’s dark
But I can see
How these road games
Get us nowhere

Yarrow

In the winter
I see yarrow

In the prairie and briar
In the bush

A sorrow container
For these headaches

For the lessons
They failed to mention

Sickness

There’s a glow about you
And it ain’t all right
Silver cold has got you
Rather flee than fight
Take a risk, I’ll rout you (x 4)

Fragility

Hello
Do you hear?
The slow burn of the road

The yellow rape and soul
The hurt I hide so well

In the sightlines of your eyes
On the frontlines of my heart

Sad Birds

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

Madison went west with us
Grapefruit nights got the best of us

I see what you’ve read
Pynchon ain’t good to sleep on
Pynchon ain’t good hey hey hey

I’m holding your head
While the world is burning
While the world is hey hey hey

I hear your voice
In the heart of the night
And it keeps me calm (x2)

Madison went west with us
Grapefruit rides got the best of us

I heard what you said
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

Serendipitous Brass

Serendipitous Brass

Cue the violins () 

They say the lakes are heading north
Or south or east or west
Water flows where moneys best
Serendipitous Brass 

They say the desert’s drying up
The trees to sand and grass to dirt
It’s a pain in the ass 

With hearts on our sleeves
And bees in our heads 

Gotta get a jump on them (x 3)

Last Steps

Last Steps

I’ve been fucking around 

with a sonic spell
Got the wizard staff
Got the thrash guitar
In the neck of the woods
In the neck of the road
There’s a little house
Made of sonic gold
