"1 2 3"

"1 2 3"


From the bowery to the brimstone, I tried to find your heart.
With drugs of initiation, bottom of the barrel that drops.
I understand your causes, sympathize the motivation.
But all the details of this war are just self-infatuation.

Pick up the sticks and go home.
Manic blood runs thick my friend, are you looking for a clean escape?
What's left when the locks have all been broken, young children of authority?
How long can you be agile, dancing between the alter and the mercy seat?
Here's a chance to make a choice, are you aware of the fire beneath your feet?

Pick up the sticks and go home.
The basement lies within us, the fear comes through the door
There's nothing left between us, the fear becomes a roar.
Once that wheel is in motion, don't you lose what you have found.
I'm talking about that burning wheel of tongues, everything that makes it go around.
We're all born in the devils scorn, they want to see you die.
Are you true? Everything they say is a lie.

"Able To Sing"

"Able To Sing"


I went to a wedding, I brought a song
I folded it up like a list of thanks at a Praisathon
The bride was Snow White, the groom was strong
Trailers as endless as the day is long

Some days are fairy tales, some days belie
The four and twenty black birds baked in a pie
Could open up their sweet throats to serenade a king
That's a lot of heat to take and still be able to sing, sing, sing

It's not been proven hard to bring unending start
And even easier to die from a broken heart
Oh, was a blind force trauma from the fireworks
That someone is celebrating while another gets hurt

Some days are fairy tales, some days belie
The four and twenty black birds baked in a pie
Could open up their sweet throats to serenade a king
That's a lot of heat to take and still be able to sing

Still I see them in the night
With their blood red wings alike
While the rocket's red glare
Gives proof through the night

If some things not right
Some things not right

In the book of Steven there is no prophecy
'Cause there was no need for God in the way things came to be
Some live by faith, some live by proof
They don't meet up on a friendly road or live under the same roof

Some days are fairy tales, some days belie
Four and twenty black birds baked in a pie
Could open up their sweet throats to serenade a king
That's a lot of heat to take and still be able to sing, sing, sing
Sing, sing, sing

And the birds fall hard like black rain
Jerking the earth with a portent stain
Beat like drums, they beat like a wings
Are we looking? Are we listening?

Sing, sing, sing, sing
Sing, sing, sing

"Alberta"

"Alberta"


It seems like a long time,
But it's been no time
In the course of a lifetime
Since you're gone

The crack in the window
Is that how you got through?
Dogs howl, is that you?
The setting sun

You took a wild rose, from Alberta
Brought it East to press upon this yellow page
One lost day

Once by a coal mine
A terrible landslide
Crushed the hopes of the incline
Engraved their bones

As hard as I try
I just can't let it lie
The feeling you haven't quite made it home

You took a wild rose, from Alberta
Brought it East to press upon this yellow page
One lost day

Can't call it sorry
Can't call it sad
Maybe just the same as how a song can take it back
More like that

Heirlooms and stories
Pieces of jewelry
Snapshots of a revelry,
A lullaby

The journey out West
Full of secrets, I guess
Never since been addressed
The hurricane eye

You took a wild rose, from Alberta
Brought it east to press upon this yellow page
One lost day

"All That We Let In"

"All That We Let In"


Oooooooo
Oooooooo
Oooooooo

Dust in our eyes our own boots kicked up
Heartsick we nursed along the way we picked up
You may not see it when it's sticking to your skin
But we're better off for all that we let in

Lost friends and loved ones much too young
So much promises and work left undone
When all that guards us is a single centerline
And the brutal crossing over when it's time

Oooooooo
(I don't know where it all begins)
Oooooooo
(And I don't know where it all will end)
Oooooooo
(We're better off for all that we let in)

One day those toughies will be withered up and bent
The father son the holy warriors and the president
With glory days of put up dukes for all the world to see
Beaten into submission in the name of the free

We're in a nevolution I have heard it said
Everyone's so busy now but do we move ahead
The planets hurting and atoms splitting
And a sweater for your love you sit there knitting

Oooooooo
(I don't know where it all begins)
Oooooooo
(And I don't know where it all will end)
Oooooooo
(We're better off for all that we let in)

See those crosses on the side of the road
Tied with ribbons in the medium
They make me grateful I can go this far
Lay me down and never wake me up again

Kat writes a poem and she sticks it on my truck
We don't believe in war and we don't believe in luck
The birds were calling to her what were they saying
As the gate blew open the tops of the trees were swaying

I've passed the cemetery walk my dog down there
I read the names in stone and say a silent prayer
When I get home you're cooking supper on the stove
And the greatest gift of life is to know love

Oooooooo
(I don't know where it all begins)
Oooooooo
(And I don't know where it all will end)
Oooooooo
(We're better off for all that we let in)

"All The Way"

"All The Way"


I wasn't looking ot shift my direction
My eyes straight ahead hands ten and two
The gravity of our first connection
Veering off the road and into you
All the people drive by slowly gawking at the scene
Of the smoldering inevitable spark and gasoline
All the way I met you head on full speed
At the heart the blue flame burns
All the way I took the crash course impact
But have I learned all that I'm supposed to learn
No amount of playing safe could save me from this day
The heat seeking path of my trajectory
Didn't we cooly divest of predestination
Slamming into futures we can't see
I know what can happen when there's more than meets the eye
But there's no way to avoid it just get in the car and drive
All the way I met you head on full speed
At the heart the blue flame burns
All the way I took the crash course impact
But have I learned all that I'm supposed to learn
It makes me laugh talking over tea
When I can still smell the smoke on my sleeve
Steaming like gunsmoke the wreckage of our past
The scene of a crime I still can't leave
Oh you and me, we should let well enough be
But each revisitation points to clues
There's the oilslick of uncertainty
And warning signs back there we didn't use
At least we laugh about it now how we escaped alive
It's remarkable the mess we make and what we can survive
All the way I met you head on full speed
At the heart the blue flame burns
All the way I took the crash course impact
But have I learned all that I'm supposed to learn

"Andy"

"Andy"


Andy do you love me do you think about it will you say
Turning brushwood into blazes turning summer grass into hay
Turning sharply past the graveyard to the lakefront with the black waves licking up the stones
To the swayed back screened in front porch who could ever stay the weight of flesh and bones

Andy aren't you tired from the sun and rain and river soaking you
From the beer cans on your dashboard and the bullet hole glass spiderweb staining your rear view
I have watched you watch an empty road is it only her upon which all of you's depending
To fill your twenty hour work day while all the fences in this county still need mending

And in the night I do my checking and fix the broken part with visions of rare beauty
But in my heart I know I'm second forever fixed in your pursuit it is my duty

Andy will you toss me a little scrap of something I can taste
Instead of dust from all the leaving and the smell of summer lying here to waste
Under the burnt pyre of all the cast away the tiny shoots will spring like questions will you take me
Out to the fenced field sprinkled with horses, wild in resistance to the taming will you break me
Will you break me

"Back Together Again"

"Back Together Again"


Leaving ain't fair you know
Parting ain't just
People got to move on
People got to do what they must
And we're back together again
And I'm never gonna lose you as a friend
Growing up free
Growing up wild
If you want to know the secret behind the smile
You got to ask a Tuesday's child
And we're back together again
And I'm never gonna lose you as a friend
Well I guess that highway got a hold of me
Thinking crazy thoughts like it was going to set me free
This ain't my place you know
This ain't my home
And I'm not going to feel right
Till you get us back behind the microphones
And we're back together again
And I'm never gonna lose you as a friend
No I'm never gonna lose you as a friend
No I'm never gonna lose you as a friend

"Beauty Queen Sister"

"Beauty Queen Sister"


Everybody loves the beauty queen sister
But she always got the broken heart
'Cause she work hard to keep what God gave her
But the devil he's just pulling it apart
Hang on tight
Hang on tight now
Mama's got a friend name Monkeyman
With a two-seater bike
And a tattoo stand
He's gonna take me for that ride
He knows I've been losing ground most of my life
Hang on tight
Hang on tight now
Daddy prayed so hard
That Jesus came down and took him
Left me speaking in tongues
And hungry for something
So I fed the family, I changed out the sparks
But every day I gained, another fell apart
Hang on tight now
Hey little sister, I dig it okay
Looking for the fountain of love
Where the wild heart reigns
And the knife draws blood
And beauty is redeemed
But Cherry and Dallas won't ever be the same
Pony watched Johnny die
nothing gold can stay
And those street kids and beauty queens
They don't stand a chance
So hang on tight...
Monkeyman says draw your picture
Give it some ink, hear the needle whisper
For all the broken hearts and the passing fancies
Pull the inside out, when you can
Hang on tight
Hang on tight now
