"I Want Everything"

"I Want Everything"


I'm standing in your corridor
I wonder what I'm waiting for
The Leaves are drifting out to sea
I'm waiting for you desperately

All things beautiful
All things beautiful
I want everything
I want everything

You call us with your silent seas
You call us in our tiny boats
Gather us up with the storm
And cast us out upon the shore

All things beautiful
All things beautiful
I want everything
I want everything
I want everything
I want everything

You're deep inside this fecund swamp
Or let it be your beating heart
You're deep inside this fecund swamp
You call us in our tiny boats

All things beautiful
All things beautiful
I want everything
I want everything
I want everything
I want everything
I want everything
I want everything
I want everything
I want everything

"I Want Out Of The Circus"

"I Want Out Of The Circus"


Now I, I want out of the circus
Since the girl in the blue sparkly dress
On one knee, I confessed
Put an end to that exchange of glances
Now I, I want out of the circus
That old gang of dwarves
Sometimes, they're downright feral
When they, they've been around that old beer barrel
The old lion's teeth
Seems like a smile to me
With some sweet relief
I just stick my head in
Now my tale, it's too ordinary
For anyone to care at all
Not like the man repeatedly struck by lightning
When he bears his scars, we all know
When he bears his scars, he's a star

"I'm A Good Old Rebel"

"I'm A Good Old Rebel"


Well I'm a good old rebel, yes that's just what I am
And on this land of freedom I does not give a damn
Well I'm glad we fought against it, I only wish I'd won
And I don't want no party for anything I done

Well I hates the slighty? banter in everything they do
I hates the declaration of independence too

But I'm glad we fought against it, I only wish we'd won
And got 300 million instead of what we done

I won't be reconstructed, I'm better now than then
For this good land of freedom I does not give a damn
Three hundred-thousand yankees are stiff in southern dust
And I don't want no party for anything I done

"I'm A Little Rocket Ship"

"I'm A Little Rocket Ship"


I'm a little rocket ship
I'll take you on a little trip
We'll leave this planet far behind

I'm a little tired of it
And you're a little weary
I can tell, yeah yeah

Well, I'm a little rocket ship
And you are Queen Andromeda
Of all the stars, those with names
And those in clusters
You are on account of me
Infinite, so can't you see that
I'm a little rocket ship

I'm a little rocket ship
I'll take you on a little trip
And leave this planet far behind

Do you suppose that they've been here?
I don't know, but I've been there
Do you want to come along?

I'm a little rocket ship and
You are crowned the Femme Magnificent
Of the stars, those with names
And those in dingy drag bars
They plead with you not to go
To Pleiades or Scorpio and
I'm a little rocket ship

"I'm So Glad She Ain't Never Coming Back"

"I'm So Glad She Ain't Never Coming Back"


Saw my baby at the autumn dance
Dancing with her new boyfriend
Saw my baby in her new beau's car
She's the pride of any man
Now I don't mind and I don't cry
Cause I'm living on a mountain top
The wind might blow through the cracks at night
And I know she ain't never coming back
I don't mind and I don't cry
I'm living in a log pine shack
My shotgun keeps me warm at night
And I know she ain't never coming back
Saw my baby at the autumn dance
She was dancing with a big ring on
Saw my baby in her new beau's car
She's the pride of any man
Saw my baby at the bridal shop
She was looking for a wedding dress
Saw my baby at the dry goods store
I'm so glad she ain't never coming back
Now I don't mind and I don't cry
Cause I'm living on a mountain top
The wind might blow through the cracks at night
And I know she ain't never coming back
I don't mind and I don't cry
I'm living in a log pine shack
My shotgun keeps me warm at night
And I know she ain't never coming back

"James River"

"James River"


You come across the James River
For a needle and a spoon
Would you come across the James River
To be my woman again
To be my woman again
You come across the old lee bridge
For a dollar fifty in change
Would you come across the James River
For this heart of gold
For this heart of gold
You go and work for Ms. Kitty
For a decent rate of pay
Would you come across the James (River)
To be my woman again
To be my woman again
You keep a pistol in your left boot
A brush and comb in your purse
Would you come across the James (River)
To be my woman again
To be my woman again

"Kerosene Hat"

"Kerosene Hat"


How can I fly with these old doggy wings
While the magpie sings some shiny song
Old corn face row of teeth, she says sweetly to me
In the elevator

Everything seems like a dream
And life's a scream

Here come old Kerosene Hat
With his ear flaps waxed, a courting his girl
Come clattering in here on your old cloven skates
With that devilish spoon

Everything seems like a dream
And life's a scream
When you're submarine

So don't you bother me, death, with your leathery ways
And your old chaise lounge
Wickerman's fence of leathery tires
And the cook's gone mad, started several fires

Everything seems like a dream
When you're submarine

Head like a stream she says softly to me
From the rattling chair
Bring me a steak and my old pair of crows
My medicine lamp

Everything seems like a dream
So life's a scream

"King Of Bakersfield"

"King Of Bakersfield"


I got a double wide in my own merlot vineyard
I got plenty of space to park my dually truck
I never have to deal with LA traffic
life is good they call me the king of Bakersfield
I work from dusk to dawn for paramount pictures
set carpenter and all around handy man
back in Bakersfield I got a sinaloan beauty
Life is good they call me king of bakersfield
We got wide open spaces
for my friends to come drink beer
we got a stage in the back with band
two stepping all night long
I got some motorcycle riding neighbors
we never have no trouble round here
all my friends say I live like a king in Bakersfield
Do what you want if you ain't hurting no one
Ain't nobody’s business how you live your life
I'm a red state union man from California
Life is good they call me king of Bakersfield

"Let's All Be Someone Else"

"Let's All Be Someone Else"


Previously known as 'miss santa cruz county'
So let's all be someone else
I'm tired of being myself
Let's all be someone else

You could be someone else
I know you're tired of yourself
You say you're so bored you could cry
Well let me tell you, so am I

Well, lola came from (the sea?)
She sometimes called herself anita
But no-one ever knew why
But things just seemed to work out right, right, right

So let's all be someone else (do do do doo do do do)
I'm tired of being myself (do do do doo do do do)
Let's all be someone else

The blue ladies rode the bikes
A-what they were, we assumed rhymed with bikes
But them one day one did not get out of bed
She was dead, and a guy, that's what the paramedic said

So let's all be someone else (do do do doo do do do)
I'm tired of being myself (do do do doo do do do)

Let's all be someone else

So come on down miss santa cruz county
Won't you come on down from you daddy's hydroponic farm?
'cause there's no shame in being seen as the artichoke festival queen
You know we like what you've become
You know we like what you've become

So let's all be someone else (do do do doo do do do)
I'm tired of being myself (do do do doo do do do)
So let's all be someone else

So let's all be someone else (do do do doo do do do)
I'm tired of being myself (do do do doo do do do)
Let's all be someone else
Let's all be someone else

So let's all be someone else (do do do doo do do do)
I'm tired of being myself (do do do doo do do do)
So let's all be someone else

Let's all be someone else
Let's all be someone else
Let's all be someone else
Let's all be someone else
Someone else

"Let's Go For A Ride"

"Let's Go For A Ride"


Oh, yeah I feel alright tonight
Oh, man the stars are bright tonight
Like we could reach right out
And help yourself to them
Cause what we want and what we need
Will one day bring us to our knees
Well, I am over it
You know that I've accepted it
Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Go for a ride
So, drive real fast through the underpass
And if we die or if we crash
Well I'd be flattered to
Be buried right next to you
Cause what's yours is yours
What's mine is mine
In the summertime
Under the blackened sky
The world belongs to us
Baby lets use it up.
Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Go for a ride
Go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Go for a ride
