1. _ Shoe Money
This hole it has a bottom
Of that i have no doubt
If i could only smarten up
And figure my way out
But what would i do then?
Probably find i hate it there
And want to crawl back in
Well i swear upon my mother
And i believe with all my heart
That i could rule the world
If i could get my car to start
But what would i do then?
With the tires around the flower beds
We'll have to ride the rims
That would be funny
We'll take everything we have
The shoe money
And the birds
Will gather around our heads
And they'll peck at our corn-like teeth
The wall around the graveyard
Says that satin lives in hell
Though they may love the devil
His disciples sure can't spell
So what do i do then?
I guess i'll put the a in there
And show |
2. _ Hagged
The night terrors are upon you
Pressing on your chest
Don't worry, i believe you
You were hagged last night
A girl without a face
From her cold embrace
You sat bolt upright
The night terrors won't forget you
They will come again
When you're sleeping and when they do
You'll be hagged that night
A girl without a face
From her cold embrace
You'll sit bolt upright

3. _ And She Drowned
The girl paused at the doorway looking in
Her past was in there somewhere
It was hiding in the rafters
For the chance to drop and get her
The girl paused at the doorway looking in
She could smell it as she entered
On the curtains, in the cupboards
It was hanging in the air
And all around
The floor fell out from under
The ceiling coming down
The memories piled up on her
And she drowned
The girl paused at the doorway looking in
She decided to forget it
Because she knew it wasn't worth it
And that her best was yet to come

5. _ Redway
Your parrot, he mocks me
You better shut him up
Or else he's had it
I swear it, i'll kill it
And throw it down the basement stairs
You watch me
Redway, redway
My name is
Hey barkeep, i'm hungry
So pass me down those pickled eggs
And hurry
You tell me they'll kill me
Well if i die then i can't say
You didn't warn me
Redway, redway
My name is
You're coming to see me
To lay some flowers on my grave
And to mourn me
You ask me a question

6. _ It's Summer Here
There are thirteen headless turtles
Hanging on a line
Their severed heads would snap a stick
And break your finger pretty quick
The blood is draining from their necks
And out into the grass
The flies are buzzing all around
A hatchet sticking in the ground
The river looks like chocolate milk
It's foaming at the banks
The snakes come out to sun themselves
You think you've died and gone to hell
I found one in the yard
So i gave it to the dog
She barked and got it by the head
And flung it |
7. _ Blow Oskar
It's oskar and he's blowing his horn
And revving up his engine
All the way through rabbittown
The devil comes out on the proch
And says, |
8. _ Some Kind Of Fun
The quiet one, the one named steven
Listens to the voice of reason
They miss him at the kitchen
Where he's given daily bread
Another one, the one named harry
Vegetable or visionary
Said he had a dream with steven
Flying overhead
He watched him until he lost him in the sun
He must be having some kind of fun
A thousand miles, a world away
A woman starts another day
She drinks her mud and draws a tub
And waits for it to fill
A box arrives with nothing in it
Setting off her head a spin
It goes round and round and round
Until it all begins to spill
Before she knows another day is done
She must be having some kind of fun
And she says, |
9. _ God Tells Me To
I'm gonna walk around the yard
Until i find a hill of ants
Take a magnifying glass
Heat |
10. _ Dead Fly The Birds
She bolts the door
To shield us from the storm
All the windows locked
All the curtains drawn
Too afraid to look
Too scared for words
Out in the night sky
Dead fly the birds
She speaks of ghosts
That she alone can see
Out in the rain
Invisible to me

11. _ Cancer Show
Hey jen
It's me again
Tell me, how ya doin'
I know
It's been a year or so
It's like i died or somethin'
The weekend just went by so quickly
And now it's incredibly slow
We're savin' it up for the cancer show
I guess
I'm suited to this mess
To life among the ruins
Call it fate
My call was much too late
Call me good for nothin'
The weekend just went by so quickly
And now it's incredibly slow
If i hadn't acted so badly
You wouldn't have reason to go
We're savin' it up for the cancer show

12. _ John Boat
So they found your brother's john boat
And they filled it up with fish
And your brother didn't find it for a week
And you said that you could smell it
From a hundred yards away
And that you helped him dump it in the creek
So you came upon a raven
And you thought that it was dead
But it was moving so you poked it with a stick
And you found that there were maggots
Crawling underneath the skin
And thinking of it always makes you sick
That's the biggest bug i've ever seen
And jesus, here it comes this way
I can feel it crawling over me today

13. _ Under Cedars And Stars
Passing shadows
When love is strong
The ruby cross
The rose of the world
Constant flow
The deep heart
Fat man's daughter
Christian mother
Future life
Glories of the sacred
In god's country
Man from nowhere
Dear friends
Forgive and forget
For better for worse
In god's country
The turn of the tide
Passing shadows
When love is strong
The ruby cross
The rose of the world
Best foot forward
Hearts of gold
Dear friends
Mysterious doorway
Future life
For better for worse
Life's blessings
In heaven we know
Our own glories
Glories of the sacred
In the wonder days
The wonder gifts
The wonder story
Christian mother
Fat man's daughter
Passing shadows
Shadows lifted
Forgive and forget
For better for worse
In god's country
Under cedars and stars
Under cedars and stars
Under cedars and stars
The future life
And wonder days
