bone song
if you can catch a star
throw it in the stream
and ride it to the end
when you reach the end
throw it in a hole
and jump into the stream
there you'll find a girl
put her in your hair
and crawl into the hole
there you'll find a bone
put it in her hair
and leave her there alone
and while she is alone
if she can find a star
and throw it in the stream
and ride it to the end
you'll be waiting there
to take the bone from her hair
and throw it in the stream
and ride it to the end
again and again

Go Down

go down
lately i can hear them call
stretching necks and bent and all
dragging through an empty hall
go down, go down
sliding through a midnight scene
rarely the urge to prove anything
lately i can hear then sing
go down, go down
go down to the battle
go down to your age
go down to the races
go down with your rage
go down for a season
go down for a change
lately i can hear them all
they've been singing all along
bodies lean beginning to fall
go down, go down
lately i can hear them sing
a shout in the street in everything
lately i hear everything sing
go down
go down to the battle
go down to your age
to down to the races
go down with your rage
go down for a season
go down for a change

Vengeance Day

vengeance day
the birds of prey are praying for a weaker man to come
to try and overthrow the overlords and overcome
and fall right where they stand
into my hungry hands
every single day is vengeance day
who will try and break the spell that's cast upon the lot
and who will try and tell this awful tale without as plot
and who will say that single word to loosen all the tongues
every single day is vengeance day
and who will put this thing apart
seam by seam and heart by heart
who can show us how to never need to kill again
with every single day a vengeance day
and who will stand amongst you
and who will stand unshown
the hand with which you kill is the hand with which you hold
and i have hands and i have held and i have seen the signs
every single day is vengeance day
and who will show this thing it's heart
sewn in seams and torn apart
we will wear the weight of every wicked war we wage
every single day is vengeance day

Wind To Rise

wind to rise
i haven't the wind to rise today
let's go where we go when we're going somewhere
we can grow little wings that get clipped in the air
and our ears will be flapping, but they won't help you lift
that cute little elephant has crashed to the bottom of a pit
and we're shoveling it's bits into piles in the floor
where we've laid together before
and i haven't the wind to rise today
you picked the wrong pot to piss in
when you picked this to piss on
it was over before you smothered it
my beach is too big for your fish
now i'm shoveling your bits into piles on the floor
where we've laid together before
and i haven't the wind to rise today

Call To Arms
02:42

call to arms
a call to arms is a bell in the hand
a bell in the hand is a sword for the king
so won't you make a sound
oh you can make a sound
these boots were made for walking
and that's just what they'll do
one of these days these boots are gonna
walk right off of you
and rise and riot
for the arms that wave the banners
are scarred from stern to neck
and everything is fixed upon what must be broken next
so may we pin your focus on the ground you're standing on
for if fresh air were a thing
that money could buy
the rich would live and the poor
would rise and riot
and rise and ride

all blues
plant me a garden of sun
sing me a vision of you
i need a way to get over
ennui and boredom and blues
i guess i missed out on the spring
on good times and riches and bliss
the world is now filled with the rubble
of echoes of calling for this
i need you to bring me to good things
i'll even get down on my knees
i hear every year there's a spring time
make me one with he birds and the bees
please

wings on a girl
wings on a girl hurrah hurrah
wings on a girl and a bird is a pearl, hurrah
pain's in the bag, hurrah hurrah
goin' out west with the pain in the bag hurrah
and i hear your ears ring
i see your eyes fail
and when your arms flail
will you cheer?
saints blow air hurrah, hurrah
and you blow air where there wasn't none there, hurrah
so hold it in hurrah hurrah
hold it in and blow it down hurrah
stars are stars hurrah hurrah
constellations are stars again hurrah

kudzu
you cut your heart out of quiet
and fools throw stones right through it
and sorrow's agreed to hold back its dust
that's a courtesy sorrow owes us
when tomorrow reveals its catch as catch can
bluff on every ridiculous hand
and if you are content to just talk in your sleep
then my voice as it is is for dreaming
and up comes the earth as down goes the day
the corner is cracked and the bridge is on fire
we had build them with every last stone
but if you are content to just stand and admire
then we will rebuild them forever
i had a vision of building hundreds of stairs
while porchlights tortured the insects
and sword fights were clanging, pretending to speak
and the hole in the walls were for peeking
and up came the earth, as down went the day
and sorrow's agreed
to hold back its dust
that's a courtesy sorrow owes us

Sometimes the Water
02:38

sometimes the water
sometimes the road is lifted
sometimes the road is chic
sometimes the road is water
a polluted little creek
sometimes the water is alcohol
sometimes the water is clean
sometimes the water is empty and if you know me
you know what i mean
sometimes the rats are petrified
sometimes the rats are brave
sometimes the rats are children
hilarious and grave
sometimes the road is lifted
sometimes a curtain is air
sometimes the roses are gifted
erected or impaired
can't you recall the trumpet call
when it's foraging your borders
and you're breathing it all
sometimes you are free my friends
sometimes you are jailed
sometimes you are me and
sometimes we have failed
sometimes you are rich my friends
sometimes you are just poor
sometimes you are me
but most of the time you're more

Riches and Grief
04:12

riches and grief
she said there's something out to kill
everything she wonders
and a light came through the window
she said a wind is in her mind
and a stone is in her body
it's way too easy to sleep
she said you must remember me
we danced from leaf to leaf
you must remember this
everything is filled with riches
and everything is filled with grief
and the curtains seem to close
down upon her fingers
as she sets them on the table
she said i had a love to give
and every curtain opened
from her eyelid to her eyelid
she said a little doesn't hurt
and a lot don't hurt a bit
and she twisted off a headfull
she said a wind is in her mind
and a stone is in her body
and she crept towards the window
she said there's something out to kill
everything she is
and a light smashed through the window

Black Eyed Suzy

black eyed suzy
it's a tired old notion
i wish i'd forgot
but my body still thinks that it wants you
the sun shines directly
over your skin
it burns in the love that it forces
but oh, by the by
blackeyed suzy, she can't die
queen of the valley
when the mountains too high
alone you will stand
when the stars take the sky
and they do
and that's why
we found money and blood
and some more in the room]
where a bed used to lay itself wholly
gallons and gallons of whiskey and burgundy
strewn in the aisles of your longing

it's a sag (when you lift the world)
it's a sag when you lift the world
and you are an angel
i am a flame
i have more pleasure simply
reciting your name
it's a sag when you lift the world
and i am of the earth
and you are of the sky
if you come here you burn
if i go there i die
it's so sad that you left the world
it's a sad and beautiful world
