Baby please come home Baby please come home Baby please come home Back to me My sun sets when you rise You open up your eyes N meet a brand new day far at sea With my clothes all torn Face down to the floor Waiting for your knock upon my door Chorus Climb your wooden boat Take your time to float Let the winds carry you to shore I've become the host Of a red headed ghost Though we often argue we have grown quiet close Chorus Waiting on my porch To see your golden torch I'm tired and I'm down to my last roach My arms are open wide Come lay by my side Let's build a fort of pillows and hide chorus

Lydia 02:53
Lydia, oh girl Just take some time n let me into your world I'm a fool, don't be so cruel Lydia Lydia, you're so fine I'm going blind, can't get you out of my mind You are my sun, my only one Lydia Lydia Why do you lead me on? Why don't you lead me home tonight? Lydia Lydia, take my hand And together we will both understand It's meant to be, just you and me Lydia Lydia, close your eyes Let's share this moment floatin' into the skies One little kiss, let's take the risk Lydia Lydia Why do you lead me on? Why don't you lead me home tonight? Lydia

Canned Beef 04:24
They said, son if you don't know You probably shouldn't go But I think that if you blink You're bound to sink so low And everybody's going to be there Yes, everybody's going to be there A horse giving head To some guy named Fred And Topsy the elephant, too And the paper man, Memphis Dan Screaming at the top of his lungs I'm a big girl I'm a big girl now! The gypsy lady on the Ferris wheel She's calling you to kneel And then, once you're in a trance You'll answer to her will And everybody's going to be there Yes, everybody's going to be there The belly dancing fairies With their bellies full of cherries Dancing round the three eyed goat The taxidermist looking up N peeing in a paper cup Stuffing Big Bill Broonzy records down his throat And then you see him float It ain't over till it's over Once you're done you've just begun You realize the Russian spies Are trying to steal the sun And everybody's going to be dead Yes, everybody's going to be dead Lady luck She made a buck At a blackjack table dual But it ain't worth a dime She's running out of time Escapes the fire on a wooden mule And Raja the puck He just wanted to fuck Lil Peggy, the peg leg pig They're in his pick up truck Along with lady luck She's setting fire to his golden wig Oh my darling, can you dig? You see their bodies lying dead neath the misty twilight of the morn The horse still giving head, you wish you never had been born And everybody's going to be there…

When the night time moves too slow N your rooster, he don't crow You feel hell burnin' from below Confide in me When your spaceship doesn't float There's a big hole in your boat Feel the noose tight around your throat I don't want to let you go In the end you'll never know, no no no And your tears they fall like rain N it's clogging up the drain N it's dryin' up your brain Confide in me A black raven's at your door Faintly whispering nevermore I've seen this movie before Confide in me I don't want to let you go In the end you'll never know, no no no When the night time moves too slow N your rooster, he don't crow You feel hell burnin' from below Confide in me

Deceived 02:19
I’ve been deceived by the colors on my telly By the radioactive fumes of my microwave jelly Deceived by the first dime I earned Deceived by the first girl I yearned Deceived by hail n snow n rain Deceived by the left side of my brain Deceived by nymphs’ seductive melodies Deceived by magic remedies Deceived by headlines Deceived by red lines Deceived by the stars Deceived by crystal balls Deceived by brick walls Deceived by pale tradition Deceived by swamp religion Deceived by urine scented allies Deceived by pantomime rallies Deceived by facial hair Deceived by gummy bears Deceived by ladders Deceived by kites Deceived by days Deceived by nights Deceived by cupid’s lonesome arrows Deceived by the flight paths of the sparrows Deceived by feathered pillows Deceived by spit shined mirrors Deceived by windmills Deceived by fire drills Deceived by earthquakes Deceived by cornflakes Deceived by wet cement highways Deceived by bubblegum hairsprays Deceived by garage sales Deceived by wagging tails Deceived by marching bands Deceived by sweating hands Deceived by graveyards Deceived by leotards Deceived by eye of newt Deceived tannis root Deceived by forbidden fruit Deceived by the pied piper's flute Deceived by my two lungs Deceived by my two tongues Deceived by hard ons And so on and so on Don’t even remember what it was I was lookin for That hidden door In an old wooden chest Long lost since I quit sucking on my mama’s breast N digging earth for worms N collectin snakeskins n feathers N had different kinds of moods for different kinds of weathers N my mama she said to me Baby darling don’t you cry Baby don’t you cry

I was climbin' on a mountain, hangin' my face down Taking it easy, slowing my pace down Staring at the rocks growing under my feet The grass is green and the skies are yellow You're a gal and I'm a fellow Why don't you come mountain climbin' with me? As I was climbin' that dusty stair Wind was a-blowin' through my rusty hair Blowin my mind, crackin my will I was sittin at the roadside, eating my dinner Deep inside I know I'm no sinner I packed my belongings and I carried on up The grass is green and the skies are yellow You're a gal and I'm a fellow Why don't you come mountain climbin' with me? As I was crawlin' that snakelike trail Sand was a-piling neath my broken nails I stumbled on the ground and I started to cry My tears formed a river deep and wide You were standing on the other side Still as a rock, gazin' at me I jumped in the river but the stream was too strong Took me to the place I truly belong Guess I done wrong Guess I done wrong The grass is green and the skies are yellow You're a gal and I'm a fellow Why don't you come mountain climbin' with me?

If 04:01
If you see me don't believe your eyes Cos I'm wearing a disguise And my heart is full of lies Lonely as I am I feel so calm You can't do me no harm My face is growing numb Find a new best friend This is the end Another passing trend And anyway, it's time for bed Fare thee well my love It's been real nice But the winds r turning ice N I just can't afford the price ------------------------------------------------ If I see you on some winter day I'll turn my head away My bones ain't made of clay

I was born on a Tuesday at sundown On the year of the ape You were barely conceived at the hoedown Your mama said it was rape Girl, don't you lie to me Don't you lie to me Your hands are soft like your heart, girl Your eyes damp, blood in your ears Your shadow's been broken to pieces By the light of your fears Girl, don't you lie to me Don't you lie to me Girl, don't you lie to me Lie with me Even Eve set a better example For Able n Cain Than the one that you set to my heart, girl You've turned it into my brain Girl, don't you lie to me Don't you lie to me Girl, don't you lie to me Lie with me The sky's turning black Can't tell your face from back And your spastic plastic wings Just take a sip of this wine N rest your cards down by mine Your jokers n your kings Girl, don't you lie to me Don't you lie to me Girl, don't you lie to me Lie with me Your gentle roar echoes clearly Thru your lyin lion's den Even my hair is starting to grow weary Think I’ll go practice my Zen Girl, don't you lie to me Don't you lie to me Girl, don't you lie to me Lie with me I made up the bed for the night, girl Feather pillows n milk white sheets You made up your head, that's alright, girl Let's make up, we're on the same side of the street Girl, don't you lie to me Don't you lie to me Girl, don't you lie to me Lie with me

Baby, don't you understand Yes, I wanna be your man Ooh baby, don't you understand Ooh, I wanna be you man I said it several times before Eleven times n maybe more My lonesome words are on a suicide mission But my biscuit roller, she don't even listen I look up to the yellow moon Poke my eye with a silver spoon 2 nuns walk by, I ask em what's the time The older one says twelve as the other throws me a dime Your father, he's an architect Your brother knows the alphabet Your mother, she's long gone And me, well, I ain't nobody's son Baby, don't you understand Yes, I wanna be your man Ooh baby, don't you understand Ooh, I wanna be you man

The devil gave her food stamps for her soul She drank her soup n then she ate the bowl She has no past, no future too An eternal present, rare n true Her eyes reflect the burnin of the coal Her long black braids lay heavy on her breast She's followin the sundown goin west A monument, can't help but love it No argument, she's high above it You'll leave your crib n go out on the quest When you're low n lonesome n you don't know what to do She will make you feel as good as new Her silent gestures make you wanna hide Free spirit in a troubled mind She'll greet you with a rose of red N bite you on your shoulder blade You've searched for gold, diamonds you have found The birds they sing in unison tonight Tomorrow morning they'll set out for flight The whistlin winds in harmony Will lift their wings over the sea While she'll put on her coat n fly her kite When you're low n lonesome n you don't know what to do She will make you feel as good as new With laughter in her cheeks she whispers yessss As she slips on a wedding dress Her parents n her brothers Her past time friends n lovers Carry you n place you in your nest A Prairie home carved in heavy rock On the fireplace an untuned mantel clock Long mornings in your bed of tar There is no life outside there are No windows n the doors they're all locked When you're low n lonesome n you don't know what to do She will make you feel as good as new She never looks you in the eye straight As she lays down your dinner plate With smoke in mouth n heavy breath She sings a song of wrath till death Do you apart before it gets too late From better to good from good to bad to worse The way you look, you need a nurse As accurate as π You're getting ready for to die She'll follow your hearse n cast her blissful curse When you're low n lonesome n you don't know what to do She will make you feel as good as new If you're goin down to Germany Say hello to the most beautiful damsel I ever did see A moment of reality Will last you for eternity The bitter sweetness of her memory When you're low n lonesome n you don't know what to do She will make you feel as good as new

She's so young young young N I'm so old old old Getting tired tired tired Think I'll fold fold fold When I lay lay lay Down on my face face face She's windin up the lace around her brace She's so high high high N I'm so low low low Gonna cry cry cry Let it go go go Feel the pain pain pain Down to my soul soul soul Hear the cardboard trombones playin rock n roll She's so pink pink pink N I'm so gray gray gray I don't think think think That I should stay stay stay Like the wind wind wind She blew my brain brain brain Gonna pack my bag n take the next train She's so young young young N I'm so old old old Getting tired tired tired Think I'll fold fold fold Like the wind wind wind She blew my brain brain brain Gonna pack my bag n take the next train

Oh Me Oh My 04:10
Hey baby, where were you last night As the moon was turning red Couldn't get no sleep, I was so uptight Rolling in my king size bed I heard you've been out with the boys Toys to your feminine poise With a suitcase full of neckties And those poison cherry eyes Hey baby, how could you do such a thing You make me wanna cry Oh me oh my oh me oh my Oh me oh my my my Hey baby, my strange desire You've set a storm over my fire You strung up your barbed wire N made me a flat tire N I ain't got no spare Just floating in mid air As if you'd really care And if that ain't enough You cut off my hair Hey baby, how could you do such a thing My my my Hey baby, queen of the street Take off your ear wax crown You never did really feel complete You're a pleaser of the crowds I heard you sing of liberty N freedom of the mind But can you feed a hungry monkey With both hands tied? N I heard that you've been drinkin bourbon On your mama's grave Rumor is you've been drinking bourbon On your mama's grave Say baby, what's the time? Have I been sleepin for so long? Just had a strange dream but never mind I'll put it into the next song I had to take this out on you But you weren't around So I sucked it straight into my bone I'll take it with me to the ground

I met a girl She said to me I am a Capricorn N I let her blow my horn Secrets of the zodiac yak yak yak I met a girl She said to me I am a cancer Oh lord, I just didn't answer Secrets of the zodiac yak yak yak I met a girl She said to me I am an aquarius She got me so delirious Secrets of the zodiac yak yak yak I met a girl She said to me I am a scorpio Never thought i'd think so low Secrets of the zodiac yak yak I met a girl She said to me I am a virgo She was into Edgar Allan Poe And so was I Secrets of the zodiac yak yak yak

Tombstoned 04:34
The sliced up sun through my morning window Opens up my eyes to an empty room The taste of spider web dreams still fillin my mouth up Today is the shadow of yesterday's tomb A wingless bird crawlin on untrampled ground I pour myself out of bed and into the kitchen Black coffee to wash my throat down Mmmm Sad news sad news in the papers Last night Marie was shot cold by her man He said it was a case of too much lovin He said that only she could understand And I couldn't keep myself from cryin For loneliness can be so hard to kill Put on my jeans n went to see my mother She lives up on a cloud on blueberry hill And if you read these words tomorrow Please know that I did not mean no wrong I just had to go out for a while Cos life is brief and the road is long The cold breeze is blowin on my knees The sunshine is burnin up my eyes Tomorrow all life might cease Today I'm lookin for shadows in the sky The sliced up sun through my morning window Opens up my eyes to an empty womb The taste of spider web dreams still fillin my mouth up Today is the shadow of yesterday's tomb

Lullabye 04:24
Sweet sweet dreams Bath in crystal streams Carpet of gold wall to wall Arms spread backwards fall Reverse your blood stream flow Neath the bright moon river glow Climb your thoroughbred/ All saddled up painted red Let the soft winds caress you As they slowly undress you Ridin nude through cotton plains In the distance the whistling of the trains ------------------------------ Stretched by your side Lovin on my mind Dry lips crack Against your silky back Sponge eyed I stare At your golden flakey hair Moon hangin low Hear that rooster crow First light meets the dawn N the roses in the graveyard lawn
