Bon Voyage 05:16
lyrics

Get up, wake up Time to get on your way Hello, come on No time to delay Très bon voyage See you later, alligator Très bon voyage Ride ‘em high, ride ‘em high Heads up, lights out Zero in on this frequency Buckle up, buckle down Come and run away with me Très bon voyage In a while crocodile Très bon voyage See you on the other side Turn on, turn off Can't stand it here Fade in, fade out Need to disappear

Shah Ram Bo 03:04
lyrics
buy track
He built a kingdom out of sticks With sweat and spit and dirty tricks Man he got his kicks He turned himself into the biggest of wheels With guts and piss and shady deals Or so his bio reveals He's a Shah Ram Bo He built a kingdom out of dust With grit and balls and plenty of lust He had himself some thrust He had a certain je ne sais quoi He lorded over the bourgeois Danced a mean cha-cha He had a lot of moxie He like girls tart and foxy He was so cool and calculated As he looked down on the world he created He built a kingdom out of junk With drive and will and tons of spunk He was no punk He pulled himself off of the skids With an unembarrassed jamboree of ids Man, he loved his kids

(Why Won't You) Carry Me 04:36
lyrics
buy track
I see who you are and I see what you do I hear how you talk And the way I talk right back to you It feels so good Shakes me to my bones When you’re not around I get a jones Would it be wrong To want a little bit more I know you think it’s bad But isn’t that what bad is for Carry me, why won’t you carry me I love your face Your scrunched-up brow The tension in your hips heaving like a prow If I had my way we'd burn and burn But I take what I can get The rest I yearn What is it about you Something in me understands Nobody, not even the rain Has such tiny hands I have a vision about you and me We are making love Under a myrtle tree I see you as you are and you see me Warts and all We bang like a timpani We cut off all ties We’re floating into space In our tiny cocoon In a forever embrace

Big Ol' Dummy 04:11
lyrics
buy track
Everything I do I do for you For all the good it does You say jump, I say, How high Why, why, because Just want to please ya Want your approbation You're my rock, my foundation I’m big ol’ dummy Dum-dum dummy Dum-dum dummy Dumb as a stick I’m big ol’ dummy Dum-dum dummy Dum-dum dummy Thick as a brick Everything I am I owe to you You’re my soul and my salvation I think about ya nearly all the time You’ve become my one fixation Just want to hold ya as tight as can be I am your devotee Yeah, I’m dumb Dumb as they come Everything I want revolves around you Don’t need for nothing more You are my heart, you are my soul You’re everything I adore Can I persuade you Is it so hard Won’t you let down your guard

You're in My Blood 05:22
lyrics
buy track
It’s dirty down here And it always smells moldy and rank And the windows The windows are lacquered with grime There’s no way out There’s no way in And the shadows move In a wicked pantomime You're in my blood You're in my heart and soul You're down deep in the deepest well You're in my blood You're in my dreams and desires Please release me from this hell Got a picture of Jesus And he’s flashing a lurid grin And I pray I pray that he will save me Whatever he does Whatever that is It’s much more More than you gave me Last night dreamed That you and I were making love And you bled You bled all over the covers You bit my flesh You smoked a cigar And I wondered if you did this With all your lovers

I O I O 04:36
lyrics

Woke up in the middle, woke up in the middle Woke up in the middle, in the middle of the night You were a million miles away Won't you come back, won't you come back Won't you come back Won't you come to bed with me I didn't know what else to say to make it OK Was it good for you, was it good for me Is that something we can ever know If it's good for you then it's good for me I O I O We had been, we had been We had been, we had been apart For a million years It felt strange just to touch your skin It was dark, it was dark It was dark, it was dark as pitch But we found a way We found a way to begin, to begin, to begin What do you do when the world falls away How do you find your way back home What do you do when the world falls away Where is that secret place you roam Got down to the nitty, got down to the nitty Got down to the nitty and the gritty Remembered how it felt to be inside you Got all hot, got all hot Got all hot and heavy Remembered what it's like to be just two

Never and a Day 05:32
lyrics
buy track
It was a lifetime ago But it seems like only yesterday Well I gave it all I had but then I Then I just had to get away I'm sorry if you are mad at me I didn't mean to bring you down But I just couldn't take it, no I just couldn't take it I just couldn't stick around It was a lifetime away but it feels just around the bend When I go to sleep at night It's into that world I descend I don't mean to get you all worked up I don't mean to raise your ire But I can't see me, see hanging 'round, no That's not my desire I won't be seeing you again Never and a day, never and a day I won't be seeing you again Won't come back this way It was a lifetime of pain One I can't seem to shake for the life of me Can't you see what I was going through Poke your head out of your canopy I know I said it a thousand times But I finally made good on my word Look out side your window my friend That's me, that there bird

Oh for the Love of Mike 05:03
lyrics
buy track
I know you mean well And you believe you mean well too But that doesn't mean that what you mean Resembles anything true I guess it makes you feel better It's almost like you care You say you are there for me Define for me "there" Oh for the love of Mike Won't you stop it with all your fake sincerity Oh for the love of Mike I swear it's gonna be, gonna be Gonna be the death of me I'd rather you just let me be We have not talked in ages We have such busy days At least that's how you say it is with you Me, I'm in a downward phase You might ask me how I am You might say I'm on your mind You might say how much I matter But nothing with you is clearly defined Let me do my own thing You do your own thing as well We won't bug each other We'll get along swell I won't lie to you If you don't lie to me It'll all be peachy-keen Like a partridge in a pear tree

Give It One More Try 04:03
lyrics
buy track
Maybe it ain't so bad Maybe I’ve over-exaggerated Maybe I got it wrong One or two things I’ve underestimated Better times are coming up ahead The blossoms are turning cherry red Think I’ll give it one more chance One more chance before I die There are always possibilities Gonna give it one more try Think I’ll give it one more chance One more chance before I die Gonna give it one more try Gonna give it one more try Maybe I’ve been being naive Maybe I overcomplicated Maybe I’m too neurotic Need not be aggravated Want to have a better attitude Turn up the ol’ amplitude I’m gonna try my very best Have all my hopes addressed Maybe I should pluck myself up Maybe I should flash a grin Maybe I should give me some thanks And play this mandolin Favor you with a sweet ol' tune Say nothing that might impugn

There Are No Words 03:18
lyrics
buy track
There are no words That explains this away There are no words that'll give you solace There are no words That will ever make this right Like expecting your life to be flawless I had to do what I had to do Didn’t see I had no choice So let me make one thing perfectly clear While I still have a voice There are no words That'll make you feel better There are no words that will change a thing There are no words That will justify my actions That will ever take out the sting Sorry for the hurt I’ve caused It's got nothing to do with you You see I got this rotten thing That colors my world blue There are no words That will make you not hate me There are no words that will bring me back This is gonna haunt you For the rest of your days The outlook is admittedly black I wish I had the will To turn it all around But I been laid so low I’m already underground

This Is How the Story Ends 04:11
lyrics
buy track
Right now we are on the brink Time for a long hard think A tide is rising, a change is coming People fighting for their rights People reaching for new heights Can you hear their voices humming This is how the world revolves And this is how the problem solves And this is how we make amends This is how we make our peace And this is how we find release And this is how the story ends Right now we are upside-down The spool is going ‘round and 'round And it all seems out of control There's too many believers There's too many deceivers And they got their mitts on the flagpole Right now we’re at critical mass They’re kicking our ass And we gotta kick ‘em right back The temperature’s rising Not all that surprising Gotta know the facts, jack

Horizon 06:27
lyrics
buy track
The light creeps in Illuminating And I can feel my body rise I am drawn By unknown forces And I am swimming In a tea-warm pool Under swampy skies Somewhere out there You will find me Living out the life I was meant to live Somewhere out there Beyond the horizon Passing by Like dust through a sieve I am unfolding A pack of cards opening Under a limitless sky I am dissolving into the air Wrote you a postcard But never sent it Had some things to get off my chest It is futile to weep over the mind It is enough to labor for it I am living in Djémila In a forest of stone The wind is whipping at me Like a mast

about

Wrote you a postcard
But never sent it
Had some things to get off my chest
It is futile to weep over the mind
It is enough to labor for it
