My Last Roll
01:09
|
|||
I ate my last roll
So there's nothing for me now
I'll just wait for my passing angel
One final touch
Now it's perfect so I'll just
let it go to my passing angel
And leave my body
Then reconvene below
Your lips I never kissed
Is what I'm leaving for you now

Simple Quiet Little Town
04:38
|

This thing that we got goin
When it started it was flowin
But now I see it goin
To places ain't worth knowin
Let's take this circus tent down
Let's make it easy
On this simple, quiet, little town
When I met you at the station
You let your imagination
Run wild and I got on with you
Careening round the bend I see the steeple and the wheels slow down
Let's make it easy
On this simple, quiet, little town
Disappointment standing at the front of the classroom
Tells my head to stand in the corner
My heart is thumpin faster and faster
Knowin it can't hide any longer
This thing now that it's over
It plays over and over
You know that it was short and to the point
As we gaze down from this hill
Let's not make a sound
Let's make it easy On this simple, quiet, little town

It Wasn't Me
02:03
|
|||
It wasn't me
Who ate your dinner
Beneath your eyes
It wasn't me
Who forked away your fries
It wasn't me
Who kissed you while you ate alone
Who drank your wine so you could drive back home
It wasn't me
It wasn't me

Backup Plan
04:28
|
|||
I'm your backup plan
I'll make him fall in love with you
I'm your backup plan
I'll be your compost pile too
Break my home and my heart
Til I'm less than the sum of my parts
I'm your backup plan
Sex will make you drink and gamble
Love's been wrongly accused
Sex will make you stink and dangle
Love's been wrongly accused
Sex will drive love away
While you're gearing up to lose
But on the other hand sex will feed the soul
No need to bring love into it
Sex will give to you my soul
No need to push love into it
Love is everywhere you turn
It's there when you sit down take a shit

The Lovers Nest
02:10
|

The one I feared the most
Climbed up my tree
She pulled my hair
She poked my breast and pulled me near
And then undressed
My wrinkled heart
And then she left
The lovers nest
Was never meant
To keep me safe
I burned it then that very night
Before its owner came back home
Is that someone behind that tree
Looking for my heart
Still beating

To the Bones
03:29
|

Put your hands on the ground
Put your hands on the ground
Dig deeper and deeper
Dig Deeper and deeper
Til you reach the bones
Til you reach the bones
In your hands
Put that stake in your heart
Put that stake in your heart
Push it deeper and deeper
Push it deeper and deeper
Til you reach the bones
Til you reach the bones
Take me home
Take me home
The roots are growin'
All through me
The bugs are crawlin'
It's almost like they knew me
Then the rains come down
Wash me down
Wash me down
To the Bones

Thank God I'm Alive

Thank God I’m Alive and I Die
I died when I lost my laptop
I died when I lost my mom
And I died when I lost your precious love
Thank God I’m alive
Thank God I’m alive and I die
Thank God I’m alive
Thank God I’m alive and I die
I died when I lost my erection
I died when I lost my home
Then I lost the election
Thank God I’m alive
Thank God I’m alive and I die
I died when I lost everything I believed
When the rivers of hatred filled up my seas
I waited for love that I could not receive
So I waited for death
And now I can breath
Now I die between every inhale and exhale
Every gift I give and I get
And I die when you give me your precious love
Thank God I’m alive
Thank God I’m alive and I die
Thank God I’m alive
Thank God I’m alive and I die
Thank God I'm alive

Mountain Love
02:54
|
|||
You were a mountain so far away
Didn't think I'd reach you
Certainly didn't think that I would reach you today
Didn't know your grasslands gave life its very home
Didn't think I'd lie there
Certainly didn't think that I would never lie alone
Didn't know your secrets were my secrets too
Certainly didn't know that I would love you like I do
Your mountain peaks rise above breathable air
Didn't think I'd climb them
Certainly didn't think that I could make it up there
Didn't know your streams led to rivers deep and long
Didn't think I'd walk them
Certainly didn't think that I would follow one back home
Didn't know your secrets were my secrets too
Certainly didn't know that I would fall in love with you
You are a mountain so far away

My First Christmas Song
03:52
|
|||
And on this wintry eve the air is warm
Outside dad leaning on his horn
But all I hear is the beating of my heart
As the world slowly falls apart
All my life I’ve waited patiently
For God to give to me my due
But now my beating heart is telling me
That long ago he gave it all to you
The gift with my name under the tree
It’s not for me
The gifts with my name under the tree
They’re all for me
To give to you
So I hope the snow will stick around
And cover all the gifts strewn across the ground
And the one wrapped in my broken heart
While the world slowly falls apart
The gift with my name under the tree
It’s not for me
I’m hanging by a thread to the gift with my name
My very life depends on the gift with my name
Wrapped in my heart
Under the tree
So now I hope the snow will stick around
And help to soften that blaring sound
Of the angels blowing on their horns celebrating your birth
And now they’re singing with me
the song I’ve been singing all my life
The gift with my name under the tree
It’s not for me
The gifts with my name under the tree
They’re not for me
The gifts with my name under the tree
They’re all for me
To give to you

I'm a tree hugger baby
I been tree huggin since I was three
I'm a tree hugger baby
I been tree huggin since I was three
Last night tree huggin made a fool of me

Sometimes I take tree huggin too far

Sometimes I take tree huggin too far
Last night cop caught me tree huggin in my car

But I think my tree huggin days are through
I was a tree hugger baby
But I think my tree huggin days are through
Last night I saw my tree huggin you

I want you to hold
Please hold me
Hold me in your lovin’ arms
I want you to lift me
From this road lord
That’s been wearin’ down my soul too long
Ford’s got a better idea
A better idea than you
When the devil wants to hold you
Lucite’ll turn you lose
Ford’s got a better idea
A better idea than me
Lord I want you to lift me than I’ll fall into the Gap
Go back to Starbucks get a latte
Go back to Starbucks get another
Go back to Starbucks get a latte
Go back to Starbucks get another
Go back to Starbucks get a latte
Go back to Starbucks get another
Go back to Starbucks get a latte
And then we’ll fall into the Gap

Who Am I
03:07
|

Who am I?
You ask me who am I?
I'm your hand on your belly
Cells dividing in the jelly
I'm the alpha the omega
On a photon all the way from Vega
Who am I?
I ask you who am I?
I'm the birds in the trees
Lookin down at me I'm Columbus on his knees
Crying at the gates of hell
I am all that he can smell
Who am I?
I'm the mountains in the distance
Here in your throat I'm death's insistence
I'm your glassy clouded eyes
Looking through the book of lies
I am you you are me
I'm in prison you are free
