Water down the dandelion leaves
Sell em by the pound

Water down the dandelion leaves

I feel love
But it comes and goes
Maybe I’m blessed or
Maybe I tried hard
When it’s good it’s so good
If you’re out you can take the window
Good Lord willing we’re all
Goin’ to State
Good Lord willing we’re all
Goin’ to State
Good Lord willing we’re all
Goin’ to State
Good Lord willing we’re all
Goin’ to State
The house red comes from a box
But it suits you enough
Looks red enough
Floats above your hand like the doves’ own ambrosia
Said ‘you reach the bottom when you stop digging’
Said ‘excuse me, I’ve been here too long’
I feel love
But it comes and goes
Maybe I’m blessed or
Maybe I tried hard
When it’s good it’s so good
If you’re out you can take the window
Good Lord willing we’re all
Goin’ to State
Good Lord willing we’re all
Goin’ to State
Good Lord willing we’re all
Goin’ to State
Good Lord willing we’re all
Goin’ to Stonehenge
I feel love
But it comes and goes
Maybe I’m blessed or
Maybe I tried hard
When it’s good it’s so good
If you’re out you can take the window
Good Lord willing we’re all
Goin’ to State
Good Lord willing we’re all
Goin’ to State
Good Lord willing we’re all
Goin’ to State
Good Lord willing we’re all
Goin’ to State
At this moment, I feel perfect
At this moment, I feel perfect
At this moment, I feel perfect

Fight the Good Fight
04:50
|

Just when I got out
Pulled me back in
Right now is all the time
We’re all the Me’s
We ever been
I done good
I’m getting it better
I go hard
I go righteous
I give
I give completely
If this is all we get
Might as well make it count
If this is all we get
Might as well make it cool
Fight the good fight
Fight the good fight
Fight the good fight
Fight the good fight
I’ve been low
Lost my faith, lost my direction
Lost my fire
Got my legs up on the river
If this is all we get
Might as well make it count
If this is all we get
Might as well make it cool
Fight the good fight
Fight the good fight
Fight the good fight
Fight the good fight
If this is all we get
Might as well make it count
If this is all we get
Might as well make it cool
Fight the good fight
Fight the good fight
Fight the good fight
Fight the good fight

Arms wide
Sails unfurled
Eyes uncovered
When it rises
Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra
Picard and Dathon at El-Adrel

Picard and Dathon at El-Adrel
Faces wet
Face black, eyes red
In the court of silence
Army with its fist closed

House across the street
Nobody lives there
Nobody lives there
Nobody lives there
Ain’t nobody lives there
No people, just cats
House across the street
Nobody lives there
Nobody lives there
Nobody lives there
Ain’t nobody lives there
No people, just cats
Cat House
Cat House
Cat House
Nobody lives there
No people, just cats
They’ll answer the door
If you go up and knock
Looks just like all the other
Houses on the block
Cept for more cats
No people, just cats
Maybe it’s owned by a bank
Or there’s cracks in the foundation
Maybe it’s tied up
Some school district tax litigation
Ain’t nobody lives there
No people, just cats
Cat House
Cat House
Cat House
Nobody lives there
No people, just cats
Aw, there’s twenty on the porch
Hanging out so perplexing
Keep the neighbors up all night
Freaky cat YEOWling
Crazy cats YEOWling in the house
Nobody lives there
No people, just cats
House across the street
It’s practically a given
It’s substantially larger
Than the apartment I live in
Maybe I ought to move in with them
Yeah, me and the cats
My house
Our house
Our house
It’s a very very very fine house

Me & God doing just fine
Rolling in the valley when the big moon shines
Making hay til the sun goes away
Me & God doing just fine
Me & God doing just fine
Early to bed, church by nine
Thankful for the day in store
Me & God doing just fine
Me & God doing just fine
Early to bed, work by nine
Earn my pay, and I call it a day
Me & God doing just fine
Me & God doing just fine
Rolling in the valley when the big moon shines
Making hay til the sun goes away
Me & God doing just fine
Me & God doing just fine
Bank lets me check my money online
All my money is on this card
Me & God doing just fine
Me & God doing just fine
Got a bigger house with a loan from the bank
Got a bigger car with a loan from the bank
Me & God doing just fine
Me & God doing just fine
Rolling in the valley when the big moon shines
Making hay til the sun goes away
Me & God doing just fine
Me & God doing just fine
Staying up late cause my job is gone
So much time for sacramental wine
Me & God doing just fine
Me & God doing just fine
I got a cough and a lump on my balls
Sold the house to pay the doctor
Me & God doing just fine
Me & God doing just fine
Rolling in the valley when the big moon shines
Making hay til the sun goes away
Me & God doing just fine
Me & God doing just fine
No more money. No more wine.
I got faith, but you can’t eat faith
Me & God doing just fine
Me & God doing just fine
All my friends I had are dead
I’m so old. Shucks, being old.
Me & God doing just fine
Me & God doing just fine
Rolling in the valley when the big moon shines
Making hay til the sun goes away
Me & God doing just fine

Summer Come Early
03:36
|
|||
Hand delivered on the weekend
Orange black haze
Race to the bottom
Stale bread for the blue jays
Bacon for breakfast
Grease up the pan
Summer come early
Plug in the box fan
I only bother with things that I want to
You only come round when I’m not home
But Emily
Likes me
Catholic submission
Protestant guilt
Waves slapping up her thighs
Toes in the silt
Camel left burning
Riesling on ice
Extra gold sugar
Pampasan spice
I only bother with things that I want to
You only come round when I’m not home
But Emily
Likes me
One bad inning
They take back the champagne
Pray for redemption
Pray for the rain
Steam down the television
King James in the drawer
Summer come early
I’ll come if you are
I only bother with things that I want to
You only come round when I’m not home
But Emily
Likes me

All of the Words

There’s some words I’d like to say to you
Some are sweet
Some are mean
I’m sorry when I’m mean
There’s some words I’d like to say to you
Some are soft
Some are softer
I miss you when you’re gone
I miss you when you’re here
There’s some words I’d like to say to you
But I won’t
I won’t
I’ll think about it but I won’t
All of the words to you
All of the words to you
I give all of the words to you

What would you do on the last day on Earth?
What would you do on the last day on Earth?
What would you do on the last day on Earth?
I wanna die in my sleep
Die in my sleep
Everybody wants to die in their sleep
On the last day
Last day on Earth
Last day
Last Day on Earth
Some people go crazy
Some people think they can fly
Some people bury their heads
In some other people’s thighs
And die in their sleep
Die in their sleep
On the last day on Earth
Everybody wants to die in their sleep
On the last day
Last day on Earth
On the last day
Last Day on Earth
Everybody wants to die in their sleep
Everybody wants to die in their sleep
Everybody wants to die in their sleep

Woke up this morning
You were gone
Just what I asked for
Everything this good boy wants
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Have a Happy New Year
Joy to the world
One stocking by the tree
I got the best gift
I got Me
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Have a Happy New Year
Was the perfect
Six inch snow
Not a footprint
So where’d you go?
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Have a Happy New Year
Was the first time
In such a long time
Felt like Ol Saint Nick come spreading cheer
Was the perfect
Six inch snow
Not a footprint
So where’d you go?
Merry Christmas

Trainwreck
03:38
|
|||
I need my ears and my eyes checked
You make me feel like a trainwreck
What I’ve come to expect
Is what I don’t already know
I don’t know how I got here
Everything seems so unclear
Who knows what’s out there
You better check below
You probably should’ve checked below
Below is where they always go to hide
Down inside where they can’t find
Below is where I never go
I keep dreaming of a world where I can find a better place for me and
Is this what took you so long
Waiting for us to be so strong
We never did nothing wrong
We could’ve just said hello
We probably should’ve said hello
Below is where they never go to hide
Down inside where they can’t find
Below is where I always go
I keep dreaming of a world where I can find a better place for me and you

I went back in time
Punched me in the face
I went back in time
Kicked my own ass
Said you slacker, you slacker
Could’ve worked harder
Could’ve been someone
I went back in time
Punched me in the face
I went back in time
Kicked my own ass
Said I really wouldn’t change anything
Even the sad parts because the sad parts just help you appreciate the good parts that much more
And anyway I gotta go, I can’t tell you much more, rules are rules…
And I looked at me
And looked at me looking at me
And I said
It’s gonna be OK
It’s gonna be OK
It’s gonna be OK
But you didn’t make it easy on us
It’s gonna be OK

Dutifully employed
Stuck in the rain
Down to one lane traffic
Lucky ones
Three bedroom house
Minimal debt
Double cheeseburger value meal
Lucky ones
Don’t think to think or remember
Don’t think to think or remember
Don’t think to think or remember
Lucky ones
You know what I want
Some shit I don’t got
You know what I want
Have you hugged your kid today
Do you know if you have kids
Some folks do, some folks don’t
Lucky ones
Twelve hundred dollar deductible
Bionicly grafted smart phone
Fake plastic vagina
Lucky ones
You know what I want
A newer feel good
You know what I want
All the people you look up to
Are on TV
Some play sports
Some aren’t even real
Your role models aren’t real people
Your role models aren’t real people
Actors reading lines someone else wrote
Actors reading lines someone else wrote
Actors reading lines someone else wrote
Actors reading lines someone else wrote
Lucky ones
You can do what you want
Do nothing at all
You can do what you want
Do nothing at all
Take a shower
Clean yourself off
Put on a coat
It’s cold outside
Lucky ones
I’ve not escaped
But I’ve not failed at trying
I’ve not escaped
But I’ve not failed at trying
Got no money but I keep getting drinks
Got no smoke but I still get high
We are the best and the worst of them all
Lucky ones
We are the best and the worst of them all
We are the best and the worst of them all
We are the best and the worst of them all

Someday
I’ll lay down
For a long time
Someday
Someday
I’ll lay down
For a long time
For a real long time
Someday
Someday
I’ll lay down
For a long time
So I drink it up
Each and every day
I drink it up
Each and every day
Of my life
Touch the sunset from the beach
Stars in the ocean within reach
Washing over me waves go by
Lying on my back staring up at the sky
This is where I wanna be when I die
This is where I wanna be when I die
Little pumpkin pie
If I don’t see you again
This is goodbye
If I don’t see you again
This is goodbye
All my stuff
You can leave outside
You’re the last thing important to me
Little pumpkin pie
Little pumpkin pie
You’re the last thing important to me
Little pumpkin pie
Touch the sunset from the beach
Stars in the ocean within reach
Washing over me waves go by
Lying on my back staring up at the sky
This is where I wanna be when I die
This is where I wanna be when I die
You by my side
You by my side
You’re the last thing important to me
Little pumpkin pie
If I don’t see you again
This is goodbye
If I don’t see you again
