Sugar
03:53
|
|||
Oh, oh, long river flow, take some cane way my ol' mind
Oh, oh, long river flow, take your time and I'll take mine
I can't believe that we forgot to blame ourselves
For putting all that sugar in your veins
Brothers, sister, mama, we're all the same
We're all just fight'n' to keep the sugar from our veins
We drown the difference, burn it, that's our name
Nothing's changed
Ooo
We broke your skin to rake the past away
Too many roots for us to bend and change
Uranium and crude to say it straight
On land where brothers used to graze
Sixty thousand working hands to blame
And damned to tame the way she ebbs and wanes
I can't see you from
All the heights that we have claimed
Pulpits, podiums and pills
With walls and falls and rules
And rules for making change
We all raged
Like the fire 'neath a falling winter's rain
That came to drown the sounding of our names
In tainted tales and seeds for shady change
Alone at night, the whispers keep you sane
Histories like symphonies in a presently deranged
Wet and wine and burn in holy names
'Til we all look the same

Vagabond
01:57
|
|||
Train go wahoo, train go wahoo
Train go wahoo, train go wahoo
Out of this town, out of this town
She's gotta get outta this town
Twenty-four years old with nothing on her back
She's got nowhere to go, she's not coming back
She longs to be a vagabond, she longs to be a vagabond
Train go wahoo, train go wahoo
Train go wahoo, train go wahoo
Out of this town, out of this town
She's gotta get outta this town

Hymn of Our Minds
02:17
|
|||
You were bound to a man who was bound to his bed
With a mouth full of hands and regrets made of lead
A litany of thoughts, not a leak of my lips
'Cause I buried your mum and I buried your pops
But I buried you first like the source of all crops
Rang a fast, rendered poem
You should hear the low godless growl
You should hear the low godless growl
The year you were born the year that you died
Relief on the face of stone when it shown
That dash is all we have known
When it shown, when it shown
Like the hymn of our minds
Let it shine let it shine
Our feet in the sand and the emerald tide
Some things you swallow them whole
The hymn of our minds
Let us shine let us shine
The miners they mine with the
Gem of a soul
But this here’s a mine for coal
So I’m told
Some things they’ll swallow you whole
Some things you swallow them whole

Walking Cane
01:44
|
|||
Hand me down my walking cane
Hand me down my walking cane
Hand me down my walking cane
I'm going to leave on the midnight train
'Cause all my sins are taken away
I got drunk and I got in jail
I got drunk and I got in jail
I got drunk and I got in jail
But I had no one to pay my bail
'Cause all my sins are taken away
Beans was tough and the meat was fat
Beans was tough and the meat was fat
Beans was tough and the meat was fat
Oh my Lord I couldn't eat that
'Cause all my sins are taken away
If I'd listened to what my mamma said
If I'd listened to what my mamma said
Oh if I'd listened to what my mamma said
I'd be sleeping on a feathered bed
'Cause all my sins are taken away

Scatter the Rain
01:34
|
|||
Scatter the rain, water the dark
It's easy for us to be apart
Glow in the day, roast in the night
All I know is all that's in sight
Baby on time, young hope expires
Bending over a bed of coals
Linen the train, cripple the cane
Break your candy trails home
Frosting the flower, restless for hours
Fall on the boat, and float away
Sad in the day, warm in the night
You know I'll never grow old
You had it all before
You let it fall, let it fall
We're a smear through time
Poignant when we shine

Patrick Swayze
02:48
|
|||
This is the day Patrick Swazy died
Oh this is the day, Patrick Swazy died
Low to your mama, by and by
Oh this is the day that Patrick Swazy died
Go tell your sister, dry your eyes
No more lifting baby in the sky
Swazy and Jackson catching fire flies
Cause these are days of Patrick Swazy’s eyes

Hopeful Future
01:40
|
|||
First sight of you when I awake in the morn', could not be better
Touch on my skin never wanting it to end, feeling the comfort
Morning to midnight whether here or there always on my mind
Looking in your eyes not a black hole but a sea, calming and wondrous
Silence we embrace true testament of us, comfort we share
Morning to midnight whether here or there always on my mind
Never a goodbye always see you later, hopeful future
Only a dream hauntingly realistic to be forgotten

Path Turning Woe
02:54
|
|||
Some broken, stay broken
Some shocks come real slow
What’s there to really do for you,
If it ain’t sharing, one can’t take no giving to
On a path turning woe
Sleeping in arcades with unholy ghosts,
Should have’s and gone
Combing molasses with a babies breath,
On a path turning woe
Just a shadow, if’n we push through
Looks like hell when you can’t move
We can name all the children, call-in the clouds
Never knew how much or for who.
Tuck in forever, tussle playful hair
And that’s the deal breaker
Oh, how I couldn’t bare
I can make you quit this
God I know how
A monument to labor and we ain’t working
And that’s a deal breaker

Great Captain
02:34
|
|||
To the wards of past time I implore
A request from captain's chair
The final Inquiry
As to the space ship of my desire
For this I have sought your council
I am the great captain famed of cape
And laser pistol
My hour, a thousand hours
My utterance a volume
Like all good captain's I bare the alms of a storied life
My song a cadence like mud and lightening
Not the first, but the first for each
More mud than lightning
Great gravity calls
Requesting captain's chair
My hour, a thousand hours
My utterance a volume
Like all, good captains
I bare the alms of a storied life
My song a cadence
Like mud and lighting

No Sympathy
02:58
|
|||
Mamma doesn't need our sympathy
Mamma doesn't need our sympathy
She sweeps she sweeps she cleans
She drifts she drifts she dreams
Her children all asleep
She cleans she cleans she cleans
Mamma doesn't need our sympathy
Mamma doesn't need our sympathy
She grows she grows she feeds
Her children are all pleased
She's taking none to eat
She feeds she feeds she feeds
Mamma doesn't need our sympathy
Mamma doesn't need our sympathy
Everything we throw in the river floats down stream
Straight into our mamma's mouth
And through her liver and spleen
She's filtering filtering
She cleans she clean she cleans
Mamma doesn't need our sympathy
Mamma doesn't need our sympathy

Oh My Darling
04:26
|
|||
Singing oh my darling, oh my dear
How the hell will love find us here?
Singing oh my darling, oh my dear
How will we make another year?
Tossing away all the old mystery
Collecting and keeping all the things we can see
Everything is real
The magic’s worn thin
You taught me to fight
But I learned how to win
Singing oh my darling, oh my dear
How the hell will love find us here?
Singing oh my darling, oh my dear
How will we make another year?
There’s a million gone heroes just a waving at me
Like the wind-licken grass in the soft summer’s breeze
We pushed till it broke, she’d laid us right down
Like the words in your head when there’s no one around
Singing oh my darling, oh my dear
How the hell will love find us here?
Singing oh my darling, oh my dear
How will we make another year?
Labor of love our muscles sure heave
I’d swear there were rocks in the hem of our dreams
I’d swear there were stones in the hem of our years
Singing oh my darling oh my dear
Singing oh my darling, oh my dear
How the hell will love find us here?
Singing oh my darling, oh my dear
How will we make another year?
There’s a million gone heroes just a look’n and wave’n at me
Like a land locked pirate forced to sail without the sea
