98 Years
Cigerettes, Weed and Beer
That's all I need until I get me out of here
We've all been stranded here
for quite some time
the woman down the street
has got a name too
She's got a name too
Jumpin off the roof 4 feet of snow
Jumpin off the roof 5 feet of snow
Jumpin off the roof 6 feet of snow
I'm jumpin off the roof there's 7 feet outside my window
Is this ever gonna end 'cuz I can't wait 98 years until I see this again
Schools closed down and I'm around all my friends
I was told tonight "It's just a hundred miles
One days walk and then you put your feet up."
Well that's a long hard walk for a brush with my maker
where's my chalkboard and my candlestick maker
98 degrees or years, it's all a long hot climb from here
I'm givin up on all my fears
and I'm ready for those 98 years
Cigerettes, Weed and Beer
That's all I need until I get me out of here
We've all been stranded here
for quite some time
the woman down the street
has got a name too
She's got a name too
not just a woman with a dog named Blue
She's got a name too

Soiled Dove
The year is 1926, my house is strong it's made of stone
over the hills I see the mountain tops, they're covered but melting fast
Summer is coming the chill is leaving the air
The wind howls thru the valley, thru the aspen and pine
rattles my window pane
makes me feel sorrow again
Wondering when you'll ride this way again
It's been a long, lonely winter
Only strangers in my bed
You're the one I feel I really know
Though it might be in my head
I've dreamt up something I can't have, I can't have again
I'm a Soiled Dove
but I can fly, in my mind
I'm a Soiled Dove, I'm a Soiled Dove, I'm a Soiled Dove
There I sit waiting, by the stone fireplace
nothing but waiting for empty love to come
I've got more for this world but I can't unleash it
Come over I'll be your friend isn't that what you pay for
No need to worry I won't bite you when your pants are down
There down, down to your knees I'm a Dove
There I sit waiting, by the stone fireplace
nothing but waiting for that empty love to come
I've got more for this world but I can't unleash it
Come over I'll be your friend isn't that what you pay for
No need to worry I won't bite you when your pants are down
There down, down to the ground
I'm a Dove but I can fly in my mind
I'm a Soiled Dove

Lazy From Booze
Give me a minute, maybe and hour
I need a little more time just to wake up
I can't remember what I told you
Was today the day that we would get together
The phone is ringing my head is pounding
the punch-in hour always hits me all of a sudden
Woa woa woa
Lazy From Booze
I'm down like a clown how low can I go
I'm draggin my feet through the streets of my own armegeden
Lookin down to the ground how low can I go
Draggin my tail through the streets of my own armegeden

No Lawn Mowers
I always wanted to live in the past no lawn mowers a time of tall grass
but I don't know how I'd live without you modern day woman
come over and see me some time your man won't know ya know he's blind
I'll leave the back door open like I do every time for you my only woman
What makes history who tells the story where does the truth lie who gets the glory
the truth lies in the eyes of the beholder lend me your shoulder
Where does the time go all those years I haven't seen my sister since I don't know
lets raise our glasses to the sister dears where are the years
I always wanted to live in the past trade and barter a time without cash
but I don't know how I'd live without you modern day woman
The bills come in the mail there paper in a basket they don't get open stay
sealed like a casket
I don't even know what I owe further in debt I go
|
Too good for me
Moves with the slightest defection she's filled with grace
makes me say the wrong thing when I look into her innocent face
she could straighten me out with those blue eyes soakin in mine
Makes my heart beat like a drum my mind makes music music to my heart
|
You've Got me in a bind
You've got me in a bind I don't know what to do I'm gonna hide
You say I'm playing with your mind but it's trouble inside of mine
all inside of mine
We've been at two far ends of the line I can't pull I can't find
I guess I'll stay away
I'll stay away for a day see how it goes I'm sure I won't be back tomorrow
- sure I won't be back tomorrow
I feel a tidal wave comin' but I just don't know what to do
I want to end all this trouble

New Land New Life
On a ship for a new land barely enough room for all
fighting off the smell of the sickness the smell of disease
little torture than left behind say goodbye to the old life of mine
A new land a new life a new land a new life
Some bring their clothes some bring their jewels
some bring their precious wine for the glorious time on the other side
A new land a new life a new land a new life
I've just got my little brother by one year I preceed
not very old but old enough for our hearts to bleed
new land a new life a new land a new life

Red,
White
and
Blue
Lend me your arms in this time of need
I used to feel that life was free
we used to thrive with a pulse of good luck
now there's a rot down in my gut
I'm not the only one you feel that way too
now we fight for the Red, White and Blue
When my freedoms and lifestyles are threatened with force
and the winds of distruction try to extinguish our torch
bliss turns to shock then fear then rage
let the lion out of the cage
Here we are all crippled with hate
are we all just slippin away
give me your hungry your tired and poor
who do we turn from our door
are your arms outstreched as we were for you
how 'bout some love for the Red, White and Blue

Three Dead Mice in my Trap
There you are on your back
lookin up at me like we were friend
well I'll tell you what
we were never friends
I just put up with you 'cuz
I thought you had nowhere to go
I wouldn't put you out
I'm not that kind of man
So I set you up
stood by and watched you go for it
watched your eyes bulge
and you tail flutter
as I was questioning my intentions
and my morals
by my foot with my dinner
ran his brother
now there's three dead mice in my trap
I'm a peaceful man but I can't stand-
Three Dead Mice in my trap
shit on the shelf holes in the walls
Three dead mice in my trap
Manifest Destiny
I can't get your religion
I have no faith
I'm goin' down for the last time
I got a foot on my backA
and the dirt up against my face
CHORUS
I've been told where to go and what to do
but still I can't seem to satisfy you
Why's it so hard just to let me be
O.K. you let me be
but you locked me up in your penitentiaries
and still you don't see
how you treat the natives of your country
how you treat the natives of the land
CHORUS
To civilize and colonize
was all that your eyes could see
said it was Manifest Destiny
Granted land west of the Mississippi
How much more can they take?
CHORUS
