I'm the Same 04:41
lyrics

Are we so different You and me I drink coffee and you drink tea You love the night and I love the day But we're together Somehow, someway Just look at me I'm the same It has to be I'm the same Absitively I'm the same as you Well I'm a mess and you're so neat I am a vegan and you eat meat You read the classics and I read my junk You like folk singers and I like my punk They say this world is a melting pot Mixing the cold in with the hot We all try to find that one sweet, sweet spot Alls well that ends well I am the yin to your yang I got my thing and you got your thang Yeah we may argue and get out of control But in the end We're just two halves of a whole Well I'm the same The same as you I am a mirror I do what you do I am the same The same as you

Whatever way I'm coming Whatever way I'm going I am screwed I am screwed Nothing's gonna fix me Nothing's gonna help me Nothing's gonna make me feel good You put me in a box Sealed it with your locks I am screwed So screwed Whatever way I see it Whatever way I feel it I am screwed I am screwed Don't matter what I want Don't matter what I need Don't matter what I fucking think You stabbed in my guts No one wonder I've gone nuts I am screwed So screwed Whatever way I'm feeling it Whatever way I'm dealing with it I am screwed So screwed You don't wanna help me You don't wanna save me You don't really give a shit It's all some wicked game And you won't take the blame I am screwed So screwed

I Remember You 04:23
lyrics
buy track
How could I forget How could I be fooled You did what you always do You’d think that I’d be schooled To you we’re all patsies We are meant to be ruled Now I remember A bright light has come shining through Now I remember I remember you I remember you You are pretty clever You always get me going You deal in distraction So I have no way of knowing You can stem the tide And keep a river from flowing I remember what you said I remember all you done You can shine like a beacon But you are not the sun You can sound solemn And you can seem sincere You can instill trust And you can foment fear I just need to remind myself I just need to be clear

The Safe Space 04:27
lyrics
buy track
The wheat is blue In waves dispersing Like a willow in a whirlwind We carry on conversing We shed our skins 'Cross time and tide Traversing A book of secrets A murder of crows Not a hair out of place In this safe space Living in a state of grace In this safe space A taste of blood Is on our lips We swivel and bang 'Gainst each other’s hips We draw a breath Cash in our chips The sky’s the limit Till it’s not I pull your skin You yank my spirit I rest my hands on your belly I feel I am near it Your voice cries out And I want to hear it We tore it down And built it back

I Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way 04:51
lyrics
buy track
This is the way it’s always been And this is the way it’s always gonna be Don’t go rocking my boat, my man Don’t go messing with my reality I’m happy with the status quo Just wanna go with the flow This is how I always want it to be Don’t you go leading me astray This is how I always want it to be I wouldn’t have it any other way This is the way I always I like it Everything is right in its place I know all I need to know And the rest I can simply erase Don’t wanna change a single thing As I dance in these footsteps of spring Wrapped up all neat and tidy It is what it is god almighty This is the way that I like to think Don’t you go messing with my brain This is the way I wanna live Hermetically sealed in my domain You got yours and I got mine Don’t you go crossing where I lay down the line

I Can Feel the World 04:27
lyrics
buy track
Here it comes As big as day As glaring as the light in your eyes I reach out for it And I let it all in From perpendicular to lengthwise I can feel the world All around me I can feel it swallow me whole I can feel the world All around me Down to the depths of my soul Here it comes Like a force of nature Like a force not to be trifled with What part is real What part can I only imagine And what part soon becomes the myth And I get higher and higher Higher and higher Here it comes As brass as your aunt Sue As queer as your cousin Dick The only sense it makes Is the only sense it makes Once of course you’re in the thick

Gay Deceiver 05:10
lyrics
buy track
There was a time When I was oh so happy And nothing, no nothing ever got me down You could always see me Having a gay old time Having a gay old time all over town I was so bold I was unafraid I could make the whole world go 'round I was a gay deceiver, a gay deceiver I left a million broken hearts in my wake Yeah I was a gay deceiver, a gay deceiver Everything for me was always jake There was a time When I was king of the world And everything I touched turned to gold I made a ton of money The old American way I lied and I cheated and I stoled Nothing I couldn't have Nothing I didn't want 'Cause everything can be bought and sold So now is the time When I should feel a little humbled Not everything has worked out my way They took my ass And they hauled me off to jail After they chased me down on the freeway Now I stare at these walls Wonder where I went wrong While the rest of the world makes hay

Into the Great Unknown 04:18
lyrics
buy track
Been on this road for such a mighty long time That I don't know how it feels to be connected Been running every which way But which way I been running At the very least I am misdirected Where have I been I really can't say There's no direction known Where am I now And where am I going Into the great unknown Been on this road for what seems like forever And I can't seem to find my way Maybe there's a rest stop just around the bend Or maybe there is judgment day Where or where have you gone now Where have you gone sonny boy Where or where have you gone now Come on home, come on home Been on this road for my whole life long And I'm just about ready to pack it in When I finally make my old home I bet they'll be asking where I been

High On You 03:53
lyrics

How can I How can I deny How can I deny the high of you Can't let it go Cannot let you go What oh what can I do I get high High I get high on you What can I What can I do What can I do to change your mind Take a look Take a look at me Leave your fears behind In my head In my heart Together forever Never apart In my life In my dreams I'm a mess Ripping at the seams You fill me up Make it all real You turn me 'round and 'round And spin my wheel In my body Down in my soul Way beyond my control

My Little Cricket 05:01
lyrics
buy track
Out here in the canebreak I can hear you chirping You rub your wings together And my heart you are usurping You sing your little song And it guides me to your destination That's you in the Bermuda grass Wearing a pink carnation My little cricket Oh-oh, oh-oh My little cricket Oh-oh, oh-oh Sing for me Some might get annoyed By all the racket you make But me I'm drawn to you Like syrup to a hotcake I hear your song I feel your vibration It cranks up my libido It's not no simple flirtation It's not just your shape It's also your amplitude Let's get it together And cricket in the nude We'll make tiny crickets We'll build our own cricket nest We'll watch cricket TV Our cricket life will be blessed

Our Day Is Done 05:26
lyrics
buy track
What can you say, what can you do What can you make of all this It’s insanity Nothing more and nothing less What in the world is this world It don’t make no sense to me Up is down and down is up The end of history It’s the times we are living in Nowhere to run It’s the times we are living in Day is done, day is done How can you know what you know When the truth no longer is true It’s been co-opted Lost in a big old hullaballoo Holy Christ and holy shit This is not my country Right is wrong and wrong is right The end of history Try as I might and try as I may I can’t change a single thing It’s quite surreal The gods we’re worshipping What in the world is this world It don’t make no sense to me Up is down and down is up The end of history

about

What can you say
What can you do
What can you make of all this
It’s insanity
Nothing more and nothing less
