Rid me of my blues bring me chocolate in the morning,
No day begins too sweetly after dancing in the ache
Just wipe me from the corners of the mouth you spoke me out of
(bring me) sweet things in the morning
Tender are the days, I made wishes on a cake
tightly shut my eyes and whispered to a flame
All jellyfish and legs, all peanut butter prayered
Still wondering which days go where.
Just a pocket figurine, Just a small thin to a pea
when the world was a recital for my dreams
All pirouettes and light, all polka dots and stripes
unaware of how the day betrays the night…
Rid me of my blues bring me chocolate in the morning,
No day begins too sweetly after dancing in the ache
Just wipe me from the corners of the mouth you spoke me out of
(bring me) sweet things in the morning

No day begins too sweetly after dancing in the ache
Just wipe me from the corners of the mouth you spoke me out of

Honey bring me sweet things in the morning,

Honey bring me sweet things in the morning,
Honey bring me sweet things in the morning.

Can't Be Too Careful
04:58
|
|||
I mind my “P’s” and “Q’s”,
I dot my “i” ‘s and “j” ‘s
I cross my “t”’s I hold my tongue
Don’t call me mother by her name
Can’t be too careful
No, Can’t be too careful these days
I boil my water cold,
I keep my curtains closed,
when I see trouble, (I) turn around and I walk out that door.
Can’t be too careful
No, Can’t be too careful these days
But ain’t no safety coats,
raft or riverboats,
no parachutes, stop signs, or stop lights.
Just ain’t no savin’ you,
when it comes to the one you love.

Ain’t no holdin’ rope,

Chapter 3: The Hatchet
04:16
|
|||
Once a grassland, now a wasteland
barren by, a jealous tide
swept away a history
a genesis of memories
of you and I
Once a highway, now a dry lane
stretches beyond, the breaking dawn
traces of the pavement weigh
like pebbles underneath the lake
and we live on
in mere nursery songs...
I left roses in the garden
petals on the bed for you
we’ve lived a belly full
loved a many who,
couldn’t shield us from the arrows pointed to the truth.
I left roses in the garden
petals for the funeral
I pray we’ll meet again
I’d rather wait then say
that this is how this tale has got to end.
So, farewell for now, till then...
Where stood a gold mine, now a coal mine
a yellow glow, has turned to stone
Vibrant colored ruby eyes
are vacant in a new disguise of emperors clothes
Arms once open, since have caved in
rubble born, from mountain storms
patiently I still await
for comfort from in a warm embrace
but wind just blows
and it’s turned me cold…
I left roses in the garden
petals on the bed for you
we’ve lived a belly full
loved a many who,
couldn’t shield us from the arrows pointed to the truth.
I left roses in the garden
petals for the funeral
I pray we’ll meet again
I’d rather wait then say
that this is how this tale has got to end.
So, farewell for now, till then...

John Forbid
03:56
|
|||
I was just leaving town
didn’t think you’d come,
didn’t you’d come around.
Long legged coast “will call”
tickets to the shore
and the open road.
So
John For-bid I
say something,
I don’t mean.
What did, I know
of my heart at 17?
Crooked sermons
and 3 words that don’t mean nothing.
Wish I had known,
That we were too young to live this old.
That you were too young to live this old.
I’ve never been this stoned,
ever felt this grey,
never cured this cold.
So spare me the long goodbye
so long, I tried
but i’ll cheat this time.
So
John For-bid I
say something,
I don’t mean.
What did, I know
of my heart at 17?
Crooked sermons
and 3 words that don’t mean nothing.
Wish I had known,
That we were too young to live this old.
That you were too young to live this old.

3'59 (New York)
05:00
|

I’m gonna make me a home in New York,
Cause you’ve changed this western girl.
I’m gonna to trade my tree’s for building’s,
and paint my canvas on a curb.
I found me a place in Harlem,
Got my 8 x 10 and pen,
Cause this townie’s been upgraded,
I’ll leave the flowers in their beds.
There’s a train at the station
And it’s headed to Boston,
I’m not coming after you. (coming after you)
Told myself I was leaving,
Well I think I might change my mind,
Thinkin’ bout stayin’ for a while.
I’m gonna make me a home in New York,
Join the villages around.
Trade my carriages and cargo
For a downtown subway line.
I found a venue down in Brooklyn,
Serves me songs and booze ‘till morning,
Trade my hardened heart for bourbon
And a pretty new soul.
There’s a train at the station
And it’s headed to Boston,
I’m not coming after you. (coming after you...)
Told myself I was leaving,
Well I think I might change my mind,
Thinkin’ bout stayin’ for a while.

Been talkin’ bout strayin’ for a while now

Green & Blue
03:13
|
|||
I’m wrong and I’m right
and I’m both sometimes
I’m green and I’m blue
plenty of nights
Thought I couldn’t carry through this
for some time
But I’m strong when I’m weakest
And brave when I buckle my knees
I’m damned and I’m holy
on a pew
I’m good and I’m evil in front of you
I can be the best friend or worst
enemy to you
Cause I’m strong when I’m weakest
And brave when I buckle my knees
I’m silver and gold
in the underground
I’m copper and mold
in a country town
Oh I can be human or cold
from where you stand right now
Cause I’m strong when I’m weakest
And brave when I buckle my knees
I said I’m strong when I’m weakest
And brave when I buckle my knees
Cause I’m strong when I’m weakest
And brave when I buckle my knees

The Common Cold
03:12
|
|||
Uncommonly Cold, your
memory froze, to
the cigarette smoke married to my coat.
The “Bark of the Dog” is just a bar on the corner
then suddenly, your name’s caught in my throat.
Oh no, no, no…
no, no, no…
oh no, no, no…
Not again…
The rush of the sun, left
a sobering punch, and
your liquor still tastes heavy on my tongue.
Fore my body is fashioned,
to his limbs I am fastened,
to him, he’s every hand I’ll never hold.
Oh no, no, no…
no, no, no…
oh no, no, no…
Not again…
Wise up heart,
Wise up heart,
Wise up heart,
Why don’t you wise up heart?
Oh no, no, no…
no, no, no…
oh no, no, no…
Not again…

Everybody Likes To Party
05:16
|
|||
Please, pretty pretty please baby
It don’t make no sense to make me wait
Give me a reason and i’ll gladly stay
But for right now, I don’t got time to waste.
So i’m begging please, pretty pretty please sugar
Come on, don’t be such a tease now
You know your games are leading me ‘round
Cause in my mind I know there’s no doubt...
I know that everybody likes to party
And i’m just like everybody
Everybody likes to party
And i’m just like everybody
Wait now, let me set the record straight for ya
I need more than just the words, I
need a man whose got the nerve to
Really make them what they’re worth.
So i’m begging stay, but I haven’t got all day
We cannot fail when we’re together
In fact, we’ll only make it better,
And you and I can do whatever.
Cause I know that everybody likes to party
And i’m just like everybody
Everybody likes to party
And i’m just like everybody
*Musical Break*
I know that everybody likes to party
And i’m just like everybody
Everybody likes to party
And i’m just like everybody
Go on ask me, Everybody likes to party
Well i’ll tell you i’m just like everybody
Everybody likes to party
And i’m just like everybody.
i’m just like everybody
i’m just like every...
i’m just like everybody
i’m just like every…

Another Louisiana
04:05
|
|||
I can feel the well running dry
I can see new vices, filling’ up the spaces
it’s the middle of the afternoon
and my glass is empty, but my life is too…
Cause i’ve called him up before,
and i’m crawling back for more of his poison,
I drink up my whisky boy, and pour me
Another Louisiana
The clothes are sticking to my skin
tasting every inch of, water that i’m drenched in
I fear that i’m the only one
who doesn’t seem to cool down, drowning in the sun
Cause i’ve called him up before
and i’m crawling back for more of his poison
I drink up my whisky boy, and pour me
Another Louisiana
Now my circle dancing’s tired out
now the shape that i’m in, has no definition
I pity that i’m helpless when
I know I can help it, I’m just too damn selfish
Cause i’ve called him up before
and i’m crawling back for more of his poison
I drink up my whisky boy, and pour me
Another Louisiana
One more, one more, round
One more, one more, round Louisiana
One more, one more, round
One more, one more, round Louisiana
One more, one more, round
One more, one more, round Louisiana
One more, one more, round
One more, one more, round Louisiana

Love Is My Disease
03:59
|
|||
Love is My Disease,
and i’m suffering slow.
Too much care tends to,
irritate the bones.
Love is my Disease,
but you found a cure,
made it hurt so well,
I didn’t love anymore.
I asked my lover,
he said, “blame it on me.”
he said “I felt the same,
and then you came,
and love was my disease.”
Pain is my reprieve,
kill this transient glow.
Reach down in the dark,
liberate my soul.
Pain is my reprieve,
get down to the root of me.
Pull out all the stems,
replace them with weeds.
I asked my lover,
he said, “blame it on me.”
he said “I felt the same,
and then you came,
and love was my disease.”
Know there’s someone good,
I know there’s someone good for me.
So I keep telling that white light to shine,
on someone else’s grief.
Know there’s someone good,
I know there’s someone good for me.
So I keep telling that white light to shine,
on someone else’s grief.
I asked my lover,
he said, “blame it on me.”
he said “I felt the same,
and then you came,
and love was my disease.”
