At the End of the Day 02:27
lyrics
buy track
Don’t you know it’s sad when you’re no body special Don’t you know it’s sad when you’re just who you is Don’t you know it’s bad when no one hears your story Forgotten like roads in the mist What’s a matter, dog – don’t you know what I mean? Even a killer can be trained to submit? Little goat, it’s fine when you don’t think about it Distracted by chasing fleeting bliss You’re bound and gagged by the people you serve You’re bound and gagged all the same You’re bound and gagged by the people you serve At the end of the day you’re a slave Can you feel a dull pain aching inside you Calling you to act or don’t act, it’s the same Have you heard Justice just exists for the victors? And the victims in this small town are tamed

Chapel Hill 02:56
lyrics

The marriage fell apart You needed a brand new start When life was feeling farily stark You was succumbing to the dark You said you was leavin’ on a lark Home to Chapel Hill Home to Chapel Hill There you met a wild flower In her late teens getting younger by the hour When she called my bluff When you said you couldn’t get enough And laughed when the whiskey made me pucker Had to pretend I wasn’t thrilled Down in Chapel Hill Down in Chapel Hill The whiskey plus a couple pills Her daughter died when she was three They said they were just warning me I wasn’t sure who I believed. Though I never would admit it I kind of think she maybe did it So I left Chapel Hill Oh, I left Chapel Hill Up to third street for a spill Is thinking of me still?

Squashed Frog 03:42
lyrics

Girl in a big cat in the hat hat sitting on her porch She’s nursing back by bottle feeding a very sick squirrel She said she got west nile just by sitting out here “what do you expect when you’re out so late this time of year?” So. Stay Close.. Stay Close To me if you stay. Remember that time when we was driving route 9 in the middle of the night The woods was dark and to match we got into a crazy fight It was raining heavy and there was frogs a hopping all over the road You slammed the breaks, you screamed and I can’t remember what the fight was about so Stay close.. stay close to me. And you say It’s not that big of a deal if the sauce sticks in the pot It’s not that big of a deal if the meat burns It’s not that big of a deal if we don’t get what we wanted It’s not that big of a deal what tape you put on. After all so Stay close, stay close to me and you say…

Danger Danger 03:48
lyrics

Did you ever feel that the moon was going to crash into the sun? Did you ever feel the show was over before it had begun? So we drink away the warning signs Time won’t catch us if we stay and dance all night Did you ever feel like you knew where you was headed and you was wrong? Did you ever feel there’s no words to express why it take so long?? Danger Danger, (C’mon) You’re in trouble now now Danger Danger, before you began Danger Danger, (back off) You’re in trouble now now Danger Danger, let’s see those hands Did you ever feel you were moving too fast for the soundtrack Did you ever feel that you got it right and then you took it back? The road to hell is pave w/ unbought stuffed dogs You’ll be fine if you ignore nature’s laws Danger Danger The red light flashing there’s no captain here Danger Danger we’re losing traction. there’s no one acting real

Dewan Do What You Want 02:29
lyrics
buy track
Take a tape into the graveyard Try to get it to make a sound Borrow the tape recorder from our dads It won’t work – and he’ll blame me Dewan Do What you want We’ll take our costumes to the bar we play We’ll stand there like we own the place Noone says a thing until we get to your car You blame me, well it probably was my fault Lets all got to the partial dock You know the one with the raft attached Somehow it got lost in the last storm How I wish it was me

Avalon 03:56
lyrics
buy track
Remember how we always said We’ll see each other again again It couldn’t be by the ocean wind We set sails on a broken ship again Remember how we always said Once like, twice, never again And the wind would blow And the curtains fall in your upstairs room And we could see the stars Always in Avalon Always in Avalon Always in Avalon Always in Avalon Remember the way it used to be We chased after the falling trees Ride still the same way I’ve always been Green like that. But then dark again Always in Avalon It couldn’t be the way it was supposed to be But life is short in New Jersey Collapsing branches in front of me A bitter sweet root of a memory Remember when we would pretend Me and you until the bitter end That’s not the way the tide came in And who am I to fight against the prevailing wind? Always in Avalon Always gone

Bombay 02:49
lyrics

I’ve never went to Bombay I never even been to India I’ve never seen outside of Canada So, Batten down the hatches Drop the weight out of the bomb bay doors Watch the town you grew up burn Is this vastness out of reach? In the middle east they look so sheikh Could I be another Sikh I’m sick of living on a leash There’s A hungry mouth for every peach I heard about it from a teacher I never touched a toucan You left to see the rain fall on the plains Two can play at that game I’ve never been to Pakistan I never even of heard of tabbouleh Pack you bags, we leavin today! Yeah I’ve never been to Bombay I’ve never even seen a crocodile It don’t take much to thrill You livin in your backyard smell the wash on a cold winter day they love you here, why not stay?

Half Dead #2 03:40
lyrics
buy track
Is it better to be someone to believe in? or better to be half damn dead and bleeding? You can’t win when you only been peace keepin’ When Sasha take both your halves when she leavin A hero to his own self ain’t much good, man. Who care if no one see you be the champion Precious pride is fine but where is the prize Gold shine brighter than respect in her eyes But are you getting older? Or are you turning over? A new leaf of the clover? Don’t you know it’s still wasteful if when you’re done your cup is full, you say Can you practice restraint in the moment? When you hear all the complaining and the moaning? Don’t it feel too good to clear the air out But Sasha milked the calves until they dried out, milks gone. Now no one know what’s going on. So are you getting older Or are you turning over? Or a new leaf of the clover? Don’t you know it’s still a sin, if there no one see you givin in you say Well are you getting older Or are you turning over? From new castle to Dover I’ll let you know how I feel about you when this trip is finally through Are you getting older Or are you turning over The keys to your land rover Because the lawyer sayin, half is hers, and if you cut it up it won’t still work

The Cornflakes Have Bugs 03:32
lyrics
buy track
Put it in chicken bones Tell me it’s yummy pie I eat by myself Is it feeding time – close my eyes. So, the mess that I left “Leave your station so clean” The pots all stack up There’s no one to complain. An empty bowl Here To the only way I eat – split the grain The puppy has a meal, first – I then With corn out of can, I pretend I am such an Indian I wasted away the wayward day Put it into the broth Any thing you can find You find.. The cornflakes have bugs I brush them aside An empty plate Here To the only time I have meat. Its blue The birds all forage too, for, you know Seeds and grains, and a stew I am such an Indian I wasted away the wayward day

Ye Must Be Born Again 02:16

A ruler once came to Jesus by night To ask Him the way to salvation and light; The Master made answer in words true and plain, You must be born again You must be born again You must be born again I verily say unto you You must be born again You children of men, attend to the word So solemnly uttered by Jesus the Lord And let not this message to you be in vain, You must be born again You must be born again You must be born again I verily say unto you You must be born again
