I LIKE MY GIRL IN BLACK LEATHER BOOTS
I LIKE MY GIRL IN GOLDEN EARRING HOOPS
YOU SHOULDA SEEN HER YESTERDAY
WALKIN ROUND THE GARDEN IN LINGERIE
SAID HER MIDDLE NAME WAS INFAMY
NOW I THINK SHES GOT IT IN FOR ME
FAIRY TALES AND AESOP FABLES
COULDNT WARN ME OF THIS
TRIED TO REWRITE WHAT WAS
BUT SHES TOO CONTAGIOUS
STOPPED AND ASKED HER WHY SHE CAME
BUT SHE CAME OUT WRONG
TRIED TO DIAL BACK/EXPLAIN
BUT I SOUND SO DUMB
I LIKE MY GIRL IN ANCIENT RITUALS
I LIKE MY GIRL WHEN SHES DRESSED FOR FUNERALS
SHES GOT A COFFIN THATS FIVE FOOT FOUR
ONE ABOUT FIVE FOOT NINE
SAYS WE’RE GONNA BE TOGETHER
I SAY THATS ALRIGHT/I SAY THATS ALRIGHT

All you wanted was a cup of sympathy
Down there things are slow the way they meant to be
Sunlight fades away after several years
Heroin makes you feel i havent aged a day
And all this time
You were my friend
And all this time
Has found its end
Streetlights passing through like former relatives
Disowned at the first sight of trouble
You had a kingdom fit for a thousand kings and gods
All thats left is your pile of dust
And no more time
To ask us why
And no more time
To entertain your mind
These streets don’t love you like you think they do
Ego has sent you back to the very start
Ill see you somewhere at the end of time
Til then think of sun water moon and sky

Spring Water

I see through the wind and the willows
But I don't see through the smoke
I hear the bar down the road
But I don't hear you at all
Spring Water
Couldn't make me
Remember your name
Swinging on barbed wire fence
You remember to forget to learn regret
Running on some borrowed time
Tires screechin
Officer this shit aint mine
Spring Water
Couldn't make me
Come home again
Suns going down my heads on the ground
Tell me a story ill think of a joke
Don't look me up don't call me back
I left you some money under the weeping brook
Spring Water
Couldn't make me
Remember your name
Spring Water
Couldn't make me
Come home again
Spring Water
Couldn't make me
Remember my name

Dragonfly

Sun is up but you're gone
I know you'll be back but it's always too long
Falling in love was so easy
We're squeezing the lemons
Driving up breezy
Playing in sand kissin' in the shade
Makin' out swimming out in the bay
Playing barefoot runnin' like werewolves
When you kiss my neck I forget where I came
You're like a Dragonfly
Never the same damn thing
You say you don't like to sing
It's all I hear when you say my name
Piece of the puzzle you make me make sense
Might be forgetful but i'll never forget
The night you found me and made me sweat
We fell in love over and over again
You're like a Dragonfly
Never the same damn thing
You say you don't like to sing
It's all I hear when you say my name
Haven't you heard that I'm gonna love you
Til the suns final burn
Until we hit that super nova
It's heaven beside you
You're like a Dragonfly
Never the same damn thing
You say you don't like to sing
It's all I hear when you say my name

Bullet Holes

Shes’ a dominatrix/OCD
Diet mountain dew cans hanging from a tree
Her kids don’t talk they speak in code
The backdoors locked you can see the bullet holes
Jesus Einstein Bush has his office in the kitchen
I just wanna know the state of my condition
He haggles and gambles and gives me a pill
Says come back next week we’ll see how you feel
My Lawyer tells me I’m out of money
The girl at the pharmacy just stares right at me
Been callin my father but he don’t answer
Been dead for a year now, dead for a year now
Shes’ a dominatrix/OCD
Diet mountain dew cans hanging from a tree
Her kids don’t talk they speak in code
The backdoors locked you can see the bullet holes

Going away tonight
Things will never feel just right
She woke and said to me
Lock the door and throw away your key
Over the bridge somewhere
Beyond the pawn shop county fair
She never learned from being broke
Always trippin but she never choked
Sleepin in the junkyard pits
Hawkin hub caps for graveyard shifts
Over the bridge somewhere
Beyond the pawn shop county fair
You never kept me warm at night
Spillin oil on my dynamite
Drippin in catastrophe
Met on the corner of fate and blasphemy
Over the bridge somewhere
Beyond the pawn shop county fair
Solo (D-E-D-E-D-E-C/B)
Going away tonight
Things will never feel just right
She woke and said to me
Lock the door and throw away your key
Over the bridge somewhere
Beyond the pawn shop county fair
