A few sunsets as a crow flys, crow flys, crow flys
a few sunsets as a crow flys, crow flys, crow flys

A couple moon and both tides, I'll drive she said, I'll drive
a couple moon and both tides, I'll drive she said, I'll drive

A hundred sidewalks stepped on no cracks, no cracks didn't want to break my Mama's back
a hundred sidewalks stepped on no cracks, no cracks didn't want to break my Mama's back

Fifty states but one bridge, don't jump the sign read, the sign read
fifty states but one bridge, don't jump the sign read, the sign read

The cool glow illumanated, yellow, newspaper faded, light
crawls, up the walls, shapes change, shadows crawl
an ashtray, nearly full, rests atop a cinder block, desk she made
it didnt cost much, but boy it weighed an awful lot

Her green forest colored eyes, with yellow aspen leaves inside
they change color, like the sunrise, look at me but don't say hi
my two seas, too long troubled, calm now when they look upon
green forest colored eyes, with yellow aspen leaves inside

She reached for a cigarette, gently brought it to her lips
lit a match against the wind, cupped the flame that danced within
she leaned down, took a breath, on her unlit cigarette
it came to life when flame met it, she blew out smoke and asked
where you been?

She didn't wait for an answer, instead she talked about whether
truth is just a pretty flower, that is wilting by the hour
her cigarette, she breathed on it, she smiled before she said
sometimes truths an accident, and times the only remedy for it

The silance of a shooting star, lights up a purple sky
and I don't have to wonder, where you are tonight

As the moment passed, I asked for another round, a glass
ice clinking, tinkling
brandy sifters too sweet for me, but sure why not, you bought this round, I'll get the next one
what's your name, she asked, I told her and she put it in her phone
then texted me a smile, followed by a name, a town
a population, sewage education, two bars and seventeen churches
she preaches, a sermon, tore the scripture a new one
and talks of the one son, father still guilt ridden, tore up
for his failure to pay the ransom, for his only son
like a poster, tacked to the wall, it fell free like a feather
it floated slow like that, silent like as death, not a sound
till a dog, a mutt, walked right on it, leaving wet spots, and brown dots
the wet from the mud made the paper soft, it tore apart
that dog, that mutt, just curled into a ball
no worries, no concerns
no danger, sleep, lets sleep, no danger
no danger, sleep, lets sleep, no danger

Drip drops from the ceiling, the stains they leave, sure are interesting
Lucy dog, you mutt, come over her, come eat this stuff
she swollowed, a flea fell to the floor, stayed there and waited

Maybe you could help me find this product, I just shook my head, no
nodded high on herion, itchy, itchy, scratching to the bone
skin bleeding, skin bleeding, eat your vegatables, I ate them all
my ass, bet you fed them to that dog

She's barking, she's barking, anticipating rainfall
it darkened, delivered, Lucy dog she's hiding in the pantry
surrounded by cans of chef b R dee spegetios, and chili
all canned goods really

Salt water tears, they fell, as you shook I held you gently
like a baby bird, a wren, who fell from it's nest located right above me
startled me awful, sometimes when I'm alone, I can hear you talking to me
I wonder what you'd say, if you were here, right before me
spehetgetti, really? I got plenty in the pantry!

Don't ask or I'll put truth to reason, adding and subtracting, as it says to
devisions hard for me to do, so
stay together, it's easier, got a problem, look at all these ears for you
need a hug, how many?

Look into my ears, we love you, no lie
we love you, we love you
we love you, we love you
we love you.

Did you ever play, basketball, you're so tall, you're so tall
did you ever play, basketball, you're so tall, you're so tall

Lets play twiser, I'll be the spinner, I'll be the spinner
lets play twister, I'll be the spinner, I'll be the spinner

Did you ever play baskteball, you're so tall?

I've been out all night again, like a knucklehead, knucklehead
hangover cure, pop an adderall, get you right again, right again
now spin her on your knees, spin her on your knees, set her down gently
watch her laugh, watch her puke, even when she shits she's really cute

Bee carpenter bee, be a friend of me, not an enemy, not an enemy
Bee carpenter bee, be a friend of me, you can't sting me, sting me

Barbwire fence, good defence, electic wire fence, be an idiot, pee on it
barbwire fence, good defence,
but I got a key,
to
Eternity,

you got a buck you could lend me?

Cause I've been,
down on luck, and oversexed,
smoking crack again with my second cousin in a bar in Post, Texas.
Eternity,
why you blushing girl, it's just me?
Eternity,
now get down on your knees
and be a carpenter, be a carpenter,
be a friend to me, not an enemy,
be a carpenter, be a carpenter
you can't sting me,
sting me.

Dry wedding, you kidding me?
dry wedding, you kidding me

I packed my bags, got in the car, had to get away
get out ahead my reputation, didn't want it to precede me anyway
a pretty girl I knew, begged me to stay
and I did one last night, before I drove away

Dry wedding, you kidding me?
dry wedding, you kidding me

Loneliness, like a veil, dropped to the ground in front of me
and with my solitude, I walked into a bar, next to the cheap motel I had found
and I ate, and I drank, and I danced, all night long
man, I closed that opperation down

Dry wedding, you kidding me?
dry wedding, you kidding me

In the rearview, the past, and the horizen
one I'd like to leave behind, the other, guide the way
seasons change now, all the time
I'm used to hot and hotter, I don't mind

Dry wedding, you kidding me?
dry wedding, you kidding me.

Roses are a dime a dozen
yeah, roses are a dime a dozen
and I want dandilions, or nothing
dandilions, or nothing
dandilions

My mouth has always caused me trouble
yeah, my mouth has always caused me trouble
speaking, truth, no sugur
just truth, no sugar
truth, no sugar

When the suns gone and the dark clouds roll in
yeah, when the suns gone and the dark clouds roll in
they bring, nothing but sorrow
nothing but sorrown
they bring, nothing but sorrow

Never hit back, I was taught
never hit back,
but I do, I do

Roses are a dime a dozen
yeah, roses are a dime a dozen
and I want,
dandilions, or nothing,
dandilions, or nothing
dandilions.

Smell of coffee, its morning here in Boise and in Santa Fe
and the traffic in L.A makes it hard to navigate, and I can't wait to get back to Texas
back to New Orleans

Memories, they follow me like smoke, from a fire my breath stokes
memories, the dessert in October, Colorado in September
the concrete quality of water, I truly wish you had stayed longer

First fall, of snow that morning I recall, an angel
a bluff of snow we all rolled down, crab apples falling in the creek
were much to sour for to eat, the berrys picked in Ireland, filled the cups we put them in

Treat me, like water in free fall
last call at the bar, sand beneathe your feet, ever touch an imprint leaves
falling in the fall from trees, the moment just before you sneeze

Sober, I'm jacked up all the time
sober, examination of your fear, makes it more than crystal clear
that at best you're unprepared, this ain't a test, boy, you're just here

Wake up, my friend here comes the sun
till it goes, than comes the moon, the stars twilight
a fire cracker celebration

dreaming, a way to get to you
dreaming, a thought surrounds a cloudy day
heres an umbrella, to get you through the rain

Insane, the way you drive, your green eyes lit like fire flys
you're lucky, I'm an avalanche of fortune
you're lucky, I'm an avalanch of fortune
you're lucky, I'm an avalanch of fortune
I'm an avalanch of fortune, I'm an avalanch of fortune
I'm an avalanche of fortune

From the tree tops, crab apples do fall
break the water, scare the fish off

Into the creek, breach, small toes and small feet
if you look up, you'll see a cloud passing

Tree tops, we rest upon them
hold on tighter, as the breeze comes, breeze comes
and swing, just like they do
if I let go, what would you do?

Homeruns, I never hit one
stole some bases, nobody missed them
I ain't dreaming, man, I'm woke up

don't look down from this height you might throw up
I ain't dreaming, man, I'm woke up
don't look down from this height you might throw up

Theres the moon, the moon, how you doin, how you doin?
theres the moon, the moon, how you doin, how you doin?

I still hope theres time, don't you hope, don't you hope?
I still hope theres time, don't you hope, don't you hope?
but I've been wrong so many times before, I don't keep score, I don't keep score

Theres the sun, the sun, get a tan, get a tan
theres the sun, the sun, get a tan, get a tan
theres the sun, warming everyone, get a tan, get tan

I ain't scared, watch it man, watch it man
I ain't scared, watch it man, watch it man
of any living man, watch it man, watch it man
but you, you, you, I want you girl, I want you girl
you, you, you, I want you girl, I want you girl
but you must do whatevers right for you
and I would too, and I would too
you must do whatevers right for you
I want you girl, I want you girl

Theres the moon, the moon, how you doin, how you doin?

Who's the ghost in your brain
the one that remains, that time cannot change
who's the ghost in your brain?

I hope you dance, at every chance
and I hope your ghost, leaves you at last

I wear a mask like you
cause my brain is haunted, too
and there's no vacency, till all these ghosts leave
till all these ghosts leave, I wear a mask like you

Come out with me, it's halloween
and we can be, anything we want to be
I'll be your ghost, if you'll be my host
if you'll be my host, I'll be your ghost

Come out with me, it's halloween
and we can be, anything we want to be
