See the waves rolling
over and over again
smell the salty water
on her bare skin
and hear the repition
of waves the crashing

Tell me again
what you're thinking
tell me again
what you're dreaming

I'm going to live in Albuerque
for at least a day
I want to hear what Albuerque
has to say

See the waves rolling
over and over again
smell the salty water
on her bare skin
and hear the repition
of waves crashing

Bello, low long and sweet
play a song for the river
Bello, low long and sweet
play a song for the river

Feather from a dead bird
smotherd by rubber wheels
feather from a dead bird
smothered by rubber wheels

Weight of the river rests on mud
weight of the river rests on mud
weight of the river rests on mud
mud must rest on something harder
something harder, something harder
the weight of the river rests on mud

Bello, bello

Smell of mud, stench of the death
dont bother nodbody, dont bother nobody
the smell of mud, stench of death
dont bother nobody, dont bother nobody

Cilo filled with seed, gold straw waves at me
cilo filled with seed, gold straw waves at me

The sound of paper torn in half
smell of mud, stench of death
don't bother nodbody, don't bother nobody

Bello, low long and sweet
play a song for the river

You seem to think I've got something you need
well I'll breathe for you my dear if you need

Pull down your hat, really low
if they see your eyes they'll pluck them out for gold

Wait here, don't you leave
I can barely hear and hardly see

I hear you sing notes of blood
on to pages white stacked a mile high

You cut your teeth on images you saw
black and white old photographs
and yellow stained U.S. maps

What were your thoughts
just before the drop
the noose looked comfortable
and seemed to work just fine

You seem to think
I got something you need
Well I'll breathe for you my dear
if you need

Theres a place where the wind blows
where all the wind blows, where all the wind blows
tought her soft cheek

Theres a place where I go
where all the wind blows, where all the wind blows
touch her soft cheek

Her fiery smoking cargo
that private payload, that private payload
she don't unload on no one

I''m a red flag fire
just smoke and mirrors
just smoke and mirrrors
just smoke and mirrors
didnt want to hust no one

Light bounce back to me
light bounce back to me
off the water
off the sea
off her green eyes in memories

Theres a place where the wind blows
where all the wind blows
where all the wind blows
touch her soft cheek

I'm going to go
where all the wind goes
where all the wind goes
touch her soft cheek

Gasoconade Rivers, Gasconade blue

In the bluffs shade
eyes of a snake
its slithering body
breaks the reflection
of clouds and crow
surrounded by

The Gasconade River, a Gasconade blue

Trees wove by vine
intricate and fine
locusts and frogs
turtles all the way down
suffer the heat, the temperature

The Gasconade River, a Gasconade blue

Bargaining always
one way or another
the trifling smell of death in the summer

Oh, Lordy, Lordy thee
Oh, Lordy, Lordy me

How the poor girls body went
when God turned water to cement
and when they met
her reason wasnt sufficient
it shattered in that instant

Oh, Lordy, Lordy thee

Oh, Lordy, Lordy thee
Oh, Lordy, Lordy me

Oh, how the water it breached
the levee made for it to keep
like some prisoner out of reach
a mute grown a tongue to speak
once blind now they see
the awful strength of gravity

Oh, Lordy, Lordy me
Oh, the levee it did break

Learn to suffer
another
Learn to love
one another

Raising Cain
whatever there is left, whatever there is left

Silance, cricket

Raising Cain

raising Cain
whatever there is left, whatever there is left

Wont you wake be up when we get half way
wont you wake me up when we get half way
tie me down when I'm ready to jump
tie me down when I'm ready to jump
lift me up when I cant get up
lift me up when I can't get up

Hello red head Tennesse girl
shooting up beside me at her kitchen table
goodbye stranger if you need a thing

Wont you wake be up when we get half way
wont you wake me up when we get half way
tie me down when I'm ready to jump
tie me down when I'm ready to jump
lift me up when I cant get up
lift me up when I can't get up

She called him Adam
he called her Eve
and together they laid
in the willow tree shade

And she made a garden
she planted the seed
and he made a plow
said hey babe, we can do it quicker this way

He tamed the beasts
and when the beasts met the plow
you should of seen the tears fall from Eves face

They flooded the streams
they flooded the rivers
welled up the ocean into a whole tear
looked like a dew drop
hung from a blade
mornings green grass
and just before they drowned
God said enough

The weight of river rest upon mud
the weight of the river rests upon mud

Wont you bear with me got a heavy load
wont you bear with me got a heavy load
Its dark down here but the moons aglow
its dark down here but the moons aglow
air is thick and sticky and her drawl is slow

Wont you bear with me got a heavy load
wont you bear with me got a heavy load

All her cherry stems tied in knots
all her cherry stems tied in knots
the neon bulb hot to the touch

Wont you bear with me got a heavy load
wont you bear with me got a heavy load

Memory, a poor adhesive
memory, a poor adhesive
a shallow cut, draws the most blood

Wont you bear with me got a heavy load
wont you bear with me got a heavy load

Hear the birds, see the rising sun
hear the birds, see the rising sun
didn't sleep, not a wink

Wont you bear with me got a heavy load
wont you bear with me got a heavy load

Pinch yourself this is not a dream
pinch yourself this is not a dream

In the bluffs shade
eyes of a snake
its slithering body
breaks the reflection

Gasconade River, Gasconade blue
the eyes of the snake they're looking at you

My dog died, had to put it down today
and the whole time it did not take its eyes off me

Who are you going to be now?
who are you going to be now?

Sarah dont know no one in Texas or in New Orleans
and the salty water she heard of she never seen
and sail boats don't sail without wind

God is dead, in fact her never really did exist
Sarah smiled, man split the atom but he can't split God and I

Who are you going to be now?
who are you going to be now?

I who am, the beginging and the end
Sarah smiled, deju vu all over again
deju vu all over again

And when you're around
my blood pressure goes down
yeah, when you're around
by judgement is more sound
is more sound
is more sound

I'm want to mine your brain
its natural resouces are unexplained
I want to dig your soul
watch you dance to rock and roll
watch you dance to rock and roll

The sky was clinging to the sea
the birds were singing peacefully
hear the bees, hear the bees
hear the bees buzzing
busy bodies, busy bodies
busy bodies

Sarah please, come climb this tree with me
Sarah please, come clime this tree with me

By the top sap covered both of us
and the breeze made the trees sway
we swayed, we all swayed, we all swayed
the breeze made the trees sway
we swayed, we all swayed all swayed

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 come, breeze comes
and swing just like they do
if I let go, what would you do?

Home runs, I never hit one
stole some bases, nobody missed them
I aint dreaming man I'm woke up
dont look down from this height you might throw up
I aint dreaming man I'm woke up
don't look down from this height you might throw up

Hair of the dog, no skin off my back
I know you very well, I know you very well

Oceans so deep, a wonder of sorrow
blue sky goes up but stops after while
black holes they're ulcers, is there no doctor?
I know you very well, I know you very well

From breathe of life
infinity thrives
seed of corn
seed of vine
was it spring
in the begining?
I know you very well, I know you very well

Look up and down
look all around
terrified by the content
your purpose towards it
I know you very well, I know you very well

All come equiped
at birth with death
only and instant
sure dont feel like it
I know you very well, I know you very well

Send down and angel
send down a saint
promise I'll behave
not like last time
reason my friend left you only excuses
I know you very well, I know you very well

God answers prey
like me duel
reletivity
or shall we murder each other
is it so hard to put your shoes in another?
I know you very well, I know you very well

Gods womb concieved
whose agency
under strict order
eternity
whos gravit brought us togethr

Was it like spring
in the begining?

Out in the dessert
for wisdom you yearn
one beetle bug spoke
with the voice of an angel
Devil you taunt me for what reason?
tender your prayers
and your faith in nothing
high on reason did without question
whos gravity pulls us apart?
I know you very well, I know you very well

Was it like spring, in the begining?
or blood on the ceiling
he shot from his needle
eternitys clinging
hangs by a thread

While I watched the sunset
you ate a bullet
gravitys too strong for some to live on
gravitys too strong for some to live on

Honey maker, honey maker
bees sting, bees sting
honey maker, honey maker
bees sting, bees sting

It aint winter here without you
what was hard now is easy to do
when you left my pain left to
and for that I sincerely thank you

It aint dark and romantic
smiling like I do
wont get me laid I get it
but getting laid aint hard to do

To good at getting laid and calling it love
to strong a stomach for all those drugs
to good at luck to ever get shot
but I've hit rock bottom too damn much

I know here every inch by touch
and when I lick her she screams and moans my name
when I lick her she screams and moans my name

That was till I woke up, that was till I woke up Saturday
out of that dream, out of that dream
that was till I woke up
for a good fighter knows when hes took too much blows
and mans up and walks out the ring
and I'm a good fighter
best you probably seen
I'm a good fighter
cant hurt what you cant see

Oh Mary, please tell me

They're are lambs in Dublin
with red haired maidens
in dark, dark nights

There is yellow mustard in Carolina

There is ettouffee and jazz to play

There is you and me and love to see
through this dark, dark night

Hammer that nail, hammer that nail

You can stand on my shoulders

She rolls time
she rolls her cigarettes
strikes on up
takes a breath

Fresh morning scent
frost clings to everything
till the sun comes up
to open up the day and close down the night

Call on dark when its dark
dont waste the sunshine girl and boy
call on dark when its dark
dont waste the sunshine boy and girl

This home so quiet it will make you cry
where voices used to laugh and talk
greets now only silance
red bird
on the window ledge
quiet and still
everything comes in a million forms

Call on dark when its dark
dont waste the sunshine girl and boy
call on dark when its dark
dont waste the sunshine boy and girl

Every night through the winter
fire dances in the fireplace
coming from the cold
remember when
Mom would zip you up
and send you back out again

Go on run, boy and girl
dont be shy jump into the deep end of the pool
go on run, girl and boy
dont be shy eventually everything settles at the bottom

Gods are rolling dice
out in outer space
playing in a smoke lounge fifteen light years away
gambling planets, stars and souls the same
drink up friend were gonna die
the gods are rolling dice out in outer space tonight

Call on dark when its dark
dont waste the sunshine girl and boy
call on dark when its dark
dont waste the sunshine boy and girl

Hit the gas
light a smoke
check out the horizen
I need to go
just get
momentum for momentum sake
momentum for momentum sake

Go on run, boy and girl
dont be shy jump into the deep end of the pool
go on run, girl and boy
dont be shy eventually everything settles at the bottom

She rolls time
rolls here cigarettes
strikes a match, takes a breath

She been with every type from Bejing to Tennessee
found the one she liked
sadly, he told her to take a hike
so she did, all the ranges
valleys and salt flat and swamp
spent enough time in the dessert
to know what shes got
so she did, all the ranges
humbled by the passing years
mind sharp as spear
her soul
clear blue water
clear blue water

Two hands cant turn coal to diamond
but go on son I wont stop you trying
two hands cant turn coal to diamond
but go on sun I wont stop you trying

Bird song, bird song

I'm an old tree four hundred years at least
breath so you can breath, you breath so I can too
bird song, bird song
you been atop my branch and twig
I gave you all I got
bird song, bird song
green grass grows at my toe and limb
bird song, bird song
you been atop my branch and twig

Clock, what is you talk?
clock, what is you talk?
bird song, bird song

She rolls time
she rolls her cigarettes
chewed cherrry red tongue tied stems
float in a puddle
of motor oil, water and blood
see the colors, they glisten
shimmering rainbow like fish scales
motor oil, water and blood
shimmering rainbow like fish scales

Boat man row

Call on night when its night

Trouble, you may follow me
follow anywhere I go
trouble you may follow
anywhere, oh me oh my I go
like my shadow a new life companion
trouble, follow me anywhere I go
anywhere I go, down to hell
all alone
surrounded
with souls whose face had been erased mouth sowed shut in their eye empty sockets
I reached for mine and they gone

Glistening water splash, glistening water splash
bubbling brooke, bubbling brooke
gurguling water splash
gurlgling water splash
bubbling brooke, bubbling brooke
gurguling water splash
gurlgling water splash
bubbling brooke, bubbling brooke
honey maker, honey maker
bees sting, bees sting

still alone
with souls whose face had been earased
mouths sowed up eyes empty sockets

Call on night when its night

A mountain perch
with pretty perch fog
pretty perch bird song
each and every morning
la, la, la
la, la, la, la
do, doo, do do, doo
his eyes blue and are in the shape of almonds
green collard greens
uneaten on a plate by his side
words words words
words words words
tongue song to paper
words words words
words words words
a Sunday morning church organ hymn
words words words
enjoy the same as a flower when you feed it
Son,
that tongue song
is forbidden
your penalty is death
by fire squad
five guns, five men, one bullet guarented in your skull
and they said fire and they did
guns held and pointed at his head
and they said fire and they did

Call on night when its night
dont waste the sunshine girl and boy
call on night when its night
dont waste the sunshine boy and girl
She rolls time
she rolls her cigarettes
strikes a match
takes a breath
