My life is not lemonade
Will my worry lines fade away?
Or am I down in a hole with the snake biting?
Am I down in a hole with the snake biting
No harm will come, you’ll be safe
No bees will sting in your parade
Am I down for the fancy brigade?
Am I down for the whole in this hole I made?
The Damage Has Been Done
LOL
My life is not lemonade
My money’s on being being saved
Am I down for the count or just counting wrong?
Am I down for the count of just counting wrong?

Baby doll
I brought it all coloring books and gin!
If you can, we’ll pretend we’re 17 again
Focused on signs, when i should have been focusing on you
If you look up, you can see all the same stars that i do!
Here i am
I close my eyes, i am my father’s son
I know you’re there, a deck of cards, a frozen root beer, and a gun
Tell your dad, he shot a look, i’m almost 21!
Everything i want
Everything at once
Everything i touch turns to dust…
Babydoll
I’ll tell you what, let’s not broadcast this again
That one time you said you’re sick of my stupid band
You kicked me out - of the house on - new year’s eve and then
We got soaked, we ran aground and then we got even…
Here i am
It’s 1996 again
An awkward laugh, knee high socks, a date in wilimington
Tell your mom, just like my dad, i’ll be journeyman
Everything i want
Everything at once
Everything i touch turns to dust…
Babydoll, my big mistake, was introducing you to my friends
It took you off your starry perch and made you one of them
You took a bus from trolley square to philadelphia
When you got back from france you changed,
You said you’d had enough
Here we are
On nights like this, he thinks of you the most
You moved on, and said he should too
You moved off the east coast
Don’t try to write, on second thought aren’t you married now?
No reunion at the ramada inn but i still love you, child
Everything i want
Everything at once
Everything i touch turns to dust

Untitled 77
03:43
|

The flowers are still there growing out of the Earth in the field where I rest
Like they were when I was just a boy I saw here gathering fireflies early in the evening
One by one
How can you say I was alone with the sound of the humming of the life all around me
I followed the path made in the dirt to the end of the trail and just kept going By the lake
The golden light of twilight just over the trees I was in the pasture of life The fruit falling overrippened, a town for the innocent The nights of summer’s past It was green and gold and perfect
I was a wild cat, resting under an outcropping of rock A silent stone statue A ferryboat drifting on the Mississippi That moment when the night and the day are one The smell of the honeysuckle A falling star
There’s a moment when you realize where you fit in expanse Where for a fleeting moment it all makes sense When gravity and time are just concepts and the legends of old blossom in front of you And you become the story
When I’m alone my mind retreats to the meadow and the girl and mossy earth under my head Clutching and laughing Knowing that the wild owes us nothing Shelter from the cold Water roaring over the rocks When time stands still
A place for you and I to run free, in our heads where the obligations we build fight for purchase The sounds of the lake echo across the green, and the first star of the evening fades into exisitence, You are the star
It was the year that I became aware of how deep the water is and that there is life teeming just below the surface of everyone The melancholy of dusk is happiness to others How can you blame them for hiding there? Thirsty for silence
In our heads ring so many things, our gentle creation, of the fire we built when the dark brought with it the evening and the howlin, fire and blistering cold Objects colliding with no regard for one another in our heads and in the sky Of bone and fire
The last blue moon of our youth when we believed in fairy tales Some say we still do The details differ but the plot remains the same Can we create the magic of the moment or do we wait for another perfect night like tonight? I can see your shadow

The Sound of Music
03:39

Why do I keep going?
I need crawl before I can stand
I have to fall before I can land
Why do I keep going?
Clocking time to pay the rent
But, when I’m done I don’t have a cent
Why do I keep doing this?
I gave my life so you could fly
I give my life, I give my time
Is there any reason
Is there any magic left
Was there any magic to begin with
Even though I gave it a shot
I never really gave it all that I’ve got
Even though I gave it a shot
I never really felt it.
I never really felt it.
Why do I keep doing this?
One door will slam, and the house collapsed
I’ve had a gift to keep under wraps
Why do I keep going?
When clearly I don’t have the will
I lined them up to never make the kill
I had a chance, but I’m too old
I had a hand, but chose to fold
I had to laugh or I would cry
I never told you
Just How much that you meant to me
I always thought I’d have another chance
Even though I gave it a shot
I never really gave it all that I’ve got
Even though I gave it a shot
I never really felt it.
Even though I gave it a shot
I never really gave it all that I’ve got
Even though I gave it a shot
I never really felt it.
I never really felt it

New Dolly
02:57
|
|||
At the turn of the century
Old bucky saw never say nothin’ like me
Ill have my turn at the steering wheel
You’ll never believe it’s real!
Oh….
(underneath the picture table)
I still believe in new dolly
I still believe in new dolly
It’s a brand new century
Old becky saw never saws nothing like me
As I claw with my table saw
I’ll wont stop until the whales make laws
I still believe in new dolly
I still believe in new dolly
As the nation raises up their choice
A tiny little rabbit voice
Cuts through all the other plans
He won’t stop until the whales make land!
Oh I won’t believe in anything unless Its fun
The page go down, the ink, create another one
He makes me nervous when I see that’s hes still around
He made it famous, even before they needed sound!

Avalanche (Lesson #17)
03:55
|
|||
Avalanche!
at first glance our paradigms are breaking
Avalanche!
a hive in the hand
(and an end/era in the making)
from the sand
a message from the sand
the hand of man goes through the sand
to the paw
to the beginnings of man
thundering an avalanche!
an olive branch
take it and try to advance
from the sky
a message from the sky
through the red and from the sky
a message from the sky to the face
and to the artifacts
Thunder and an Avalanche
a hive in our hands
shake it and see where it lands.

Oyster Mother
05:54
|
|||
Your mother's a cold fish
Your father's an odd duck
Make sure you're so very clean
Could it be why you're blue
don't mention that your abused
Even in your sleep
The only place out of reach
How much does the house your were born in determine
Who you are is that an excuse for you
To act like you are permanently hurt and
Lash out when someone gets close to you
Your mothers sister's a flake
Your only role model after all
You baked it in a very large cake
And hid the crumbs under the cabinets
Your mothers a plate of clams
Your father's got a dead handshake
Could I even tell you where I am
Would it matter?
Along came a snake and you baked it a cake for easter
You put the fruit it offered in a pie and
4 and 20 blackbirds were evicted
I still hear the song they sang, diane
Your grandfather is looking sort of ill
I took you behind the funeral home
Your sister belongs in a zoo
After all the aping she does of you
Your dad is bad egg
And youre a rotten dish of spoiled christmas ham
Make sure the neighbors never see
The secret stuffs that boiled in the pan
How much does the house your were born in determine
Who you are is that an excuse for you
To act like you are permanently hurt and
Lash out when someone gets close to you
Along came a snake and you baked it a cake for easter
You put the fruit it offered in a pie and
4 and 20 blackbirds were evicted
I still hear the song they sang, diane

Pub Crawl (Lesson #189)
02:57
|
|||
He wants to walk
But he wanted to crawl
Take all you want
But drink it all
No time to talk
Just to dance and sing
His head in a carpet
It ends in with a ring
It’s a pub crawl. Oh
It’s a pub crawl. Oh
He wanted to go
More than you know
He wants to atone
For hell, i don’t know
It's been a day
More than a week
Since he promised
That we won’t speak
It’s a pub crawl. Oh
It’s a pub crawl. Oh
So we agreed
Not to come back again
there’s safety in numbers
if you reach the end
She needed a night
To wash over the day
But she was sort of uptight
Why? She wouldn’t say
Another pub crawl
Another October
She put up a wall
He wanted it over
I feel the world
I feel the sea
I felt the breeze
I fell asleep
It’s a pub crawl. Oh
It’s a pub crawl. Oh
It’s a pub crawl. Oh
It’s a pub crawl. Oh
You only learn to walk once, and that day is over
your father took a video on his new camcorder
you can’t go back to the car seat, or ride in the stroller
You paid for their whole table just so they won’t deport her
It’s a pub crawl. Oh
He wants to walk
But he wanted to crawl
Take all you want
But drink it all
It’s a pub crawl. Oh

On The 409 (Lesson #63)
03:48
|
|||
Remember back in ‘94
When we all came get together
We were doing all we could to keep it together
Everybody everybody was doing their time
And everybody everybody everybody was standing in line
Remember back in William Penn when we didn’t give a damn
Every body everybody else was making’ plans
Walking on the Graves of our state without making a dime
Everybody everybody else was still looking to shine
Meanwhile in present day, we still don’t give a damn
Every single day of our live an hourglass without sand
Everyone recalling the days when they was lost in the time
Imprisoned by the strangers we are. Locked away in our minds
Lightning don’t strike twice on the 409
Lighting don’t strike twice when you’re borderline
it’s a distant shore but we forget how we’ve had to submit and we regret the crimes we'd commit then settle down and that settled it

The world that I once knew is gone and so are you
The wheels are off the wagon
Every thing that you fought for. Doesn’t matter anymore
There’s just scales now, no more dragons
It takes fight to breath fire
It takes an artist and an advertiser
Roll on you wounded tiger
It takes flight flight to inspire
All the women you ever loved occupy the stars above
There’s no one left to tend the cabin
It takes fight to breath fire
The artist is an advertiser
Roll on you wounded tiger
It takes flight flight to inspire
It’s been a rough weary road, you said
For 12 years you keeping’ down your head
You’re not sure if there’s anybody left
But you’re movin’ fast, you movin’ hard, the past is breathin' down your neck
It takes fight to fight an empire

The Weight of the W.
03:43
|
|||
The weight of the world is too much for me
The weight of the world is too much for me
I can see it take me and shake me and break me over it's knee
The weight of the world is too much for me
The strength of these dogs is too much to bear
The strength of these dogs is too much to bear
I can stand at the top and then stop and bark how it isn't fair
The strength of these dogs is too much to bear
The weight of the world is too much for me
The weight of the world is too much for me
I can see it take me and shake me and break me over it's knee
The weight of the world is too much for me

A Night Like Tonight
03:07
|
|||
The night was dark but her smile was light
Let's go somewhere , she said that we might
Or we could might stay dancing right here all night
The way she turned turned the music up right
We sang oh
This night wont stop til were through with it
And no one here looks ready to quit
Raise your hand if you think I'm right
And this beat moves our bodies all right
The dress she wore was a little to tight
A laughed and said i was being uptight
I almost drown in her swimming eyes
And it seems like we have been dancing all night
The colors dance at the edge our sight
And there's never been a night like tonight
Raise both your hand if you can agree
And if you don't you left too early
As we sang
