Waking Up On Coney Island 03:40
lyrics
buy track
Waking up on Coney Island Where the F train goes to die I nodded off and blew threw Brooklyn Woke up on the other side of an unholy night I only half remember but I can’t quite forget I would do it different somehow If I knew what I know now Once I slip out of this old skin Close my eyes and count to ten And do it all again If the weekend lasts till Wednesday And I hit the wall at the end of the line And who I am in the morning Meets what I turn into at night I stepped on my ass downtown Everybody’s laughing When I wake up I’m alone I would do it different somehow If I knew what I know now If the sun forgets to shine Should I take it as a sign That the world is moving on Baby you should too cause you know I’m near I’m nearly gone Waking up on Coney Island For the hundred millionth time I missed my stop at Church Street And I hit bottom at the end of the line

Seven Shades of Grey 03:01
lyrics
buy track
Picking up speed on Old New Hope She Lives back in the hills where the air is thin and the rain is filled with the holy ghost The nightmare fades away Seven Shades of Gray Sour milk bath and a sacrifice she uses gasoline and chain Set me free from this blue devil’s freaky appetites Set me free Seven Shades of Gray I burn out she takes me in let’s me lay my half-assed hustle down I’m on the mend Supernatural Open your doors my friend I know you will I’m under the spell again of technology and pills I burn out she takes me in let’s me lay my half-assed hustle down I’m on the mend Supernatural I lost control of the house we built it all just fades away I’ve grown cold in the shadows of Seven Shades of Gray Your healing hands peel the spook away I’m free at last of Seven Shades Seven Shades of Gray…..

Dear Danielle 04:12
lyrics

Dear Danielle tell me all about prison I don’t know why I haven’t written my dear Danielle I ain’t been myself since they sent you up and there ain’t no way I can wrap my head around one-thousand days Do you walk around in circles every morning? Do you talk to the sun as if it was your friend? I guess we never had a chance never had a chance in hell and I miss you now my dear Danielle Dear Danielle some kind of survivor like a deep sea diver in the dark before the dawn It’s in the blood glass on glass moving way too fast with your warped idea of fun and I hope it’s not too much for you to carry See how it sugars out before you jump in You know it’s never too late never too late to get back what you lose Ain’t that the truth ain’t that the truth I heard that you found God it figures that’s where he’s been hiding If you could put in a good word for me Chowchilla I hope you have gone easy on Danielle Dear Danielle yeah it’s a hell of a thing and there ain’t no way I can wrap my head around one-thousand days Dear Danielle tell me all about prison I don’t know why I haven’t written my dear Danielle…..

If I've Been Insulting 03:12
lyrics
buy track
If I’ve been insulting I hope you know it was only out of fear Fear of being found out I carried a torch all my life For some misguided drunken teenage dream Signifying nothing I know I know I know there’s a paradise somewhere Gotta believe there’s a way back in I don’t know the answer I don’t know the answer Why won’t you release me Why won’t you release me If I have been violent I hope you know I fell asleep at the wheel I been playing chicken with myself Raise the flag to zero You know I would if I could These feet run to evil Overgrown commitment-phobe looking for a way back in Partied too hard and lost his way I don’t know the answer I don’t know the answer Why won’t you release me Why won’t you forgive me

Work (Chronically Full of Desire) 03:40
lyrics
buy track
When I went to school I was all confused At the drone and the drain of fluorescent light Hide out in bathroom stalls Sleepwalk down Yellow halls I’se weird like the horns of a snail Through a tunnel with a bend Hang-gliding in the idiot wind Chronically full of desire Lord loves the working man What does all he can Lord I’m paralyzed Hell is other people I’m happy when I’m sleeping Tell me did I sleep too long Bring the world to focus in a dying brain Bear trap with metal teeth When ever left to my own devices I drink myself to sleep My brain is waterlogged Can’t do no normal job Why am alive What did I expect Dreamed when I should of slept I just wanna die Like a dog that runs in space I dream of Cherry’s face Chronically full of desire It’s breakfast 1993 Transformers Tang and Shredded Wheat Hey Mom do you feel down today Are we OK When I went to school I was all confused At The drone and the drain of fluorescent light Hide out in bathroom stalls Sleepwalk down Yellow halls Why am I alive Through a tunnel with a bend Hang-gliding in the idiot wind Chronically full of desire

Pop Song 03:47
lyrics

Do you remember my first pair of boots Can you recall where we were cuz I sure do I tried to match your giant’s stride and I slipped in the snow Cherokee North Carolina so long ago I don’t know if I’ll be able to go on without you Father can’t you stay Without you how will I be brave Nothing has changed Pop I still take my measure from you How many times has your example shown me what to do These days I ask this old photograph of you and a dog Say what would you do if you were me Poppa I feel lost I don’t know if I’ll be able to go on without you Father can’t you stay Without you how will I be brave I remember you with a chainsaw in the sun When I asked you why you said son cuz it’s gotta get done As your body betrays you your mind’s got power to burn Your still teaching me lessons that I’ll never learn Who will I make proud now there’ll be nobody left to impress Could you please not leave me here Life is no fun without your love I don’t know if I’ll be able to go on without you Father can’t you stay Without you how will I be brave

I Count the Bricks 03:01
lyrics
buy track
I count the bricks behind the bar And I take off like an F-15 When I reach the highest star There’s an angel waiting there to welcome me In the blurry headed morning The angel’s painted face is passed away Out the ashes find me at these glass controls Moving forward out of fear of something on it’s way I dream of money I dream of girls I dream a beating heart at the center of the world I dream a home I have never known I count the bricks behind the bar And I take off like an F-15 When I reach that highest star There’s an angel waiting there to welcome me Angel, I can hear you talking in your sleep Soft voice of every leaf on every tree Whispers that the world was built for me

Shockwaves 03:06
lyrics

Can you see my ribs? Cuz they’ll be disappearing soon From now on I’m living like a king Now that I’ve found you now that you’ve found me I’d walk a million miles to see your face and sideways smile The shape of things to come I love our love our love has just begun These eyes have opened as the sky begins to turn Two hearts in motion and we won’t stop now Shockwaves again my love Shockwaves and everything has changed It’s a mystery what you do to me Our love grows and pushes out beyond the edges of a shadow of a doubt Do you remember when we stole a kiss under the bridge you whispered me your secret name like a bolt from the blue sky straightens out a twisted mind I was alone I was lost in the dark Baby take me home cuz once I get my hands on you Shockwaves again my love Shockwaves Shockwaves and everything has changed it’s a mystery what you do to me…….

GH&F 04:19
lyrics

I can hear the rain inside your head as you lay where we came on your magic bed Like a tired child under a broken spell like an exposed nerve in a diving bell Get high and fucking all this snorting and sucking feels right I dreamt of these kinds of wild nights Doing new things making new friends in the city where I was born again If I wake up dead I’ll have to sleep late I am not made of rocks I’m made of chocolate cake So eat me up you tiny girl eat me up Into all your throats I bring a load of love to pour Single tear white knuckle fist is this the edge of experience? Probably not but it’s all that make sense and I’m just so innocent through all of this Get high and fucking all this snorting and sucking feels right I dreamt of these kinds of wild nights Doing new things making new friends in the city where I was born again I close my eyes and see color I have not cried in 13 years Since my daddy left my mother I do my crying with someone else’s tears……

Beggars' Law 06:59
lyrics
buy track
Shadows that fly in the night bathed in religious light Colored feathers of a giant bird scattered on the ground where the crime occurred If someone disappears you know that where they go is worse than where they were or they would let you know Colored feathers blonde brunette End of the world weather black and red The dying the wounded and the walking dead Naked as psalm with shiny skin to hell and gone on and off again Wake me up and turn the tide gone past forever in the blink of an eye Maybe I’ll never get out of bed this pillow’s not coming off my head Spokes of light across the wheeling sky left to right like the sky’s on fire By degrees we reach the sea I need a Beggar’s Law the one we got was never really meant for me Systems will all break down giant bird’s dreaming of the underground A lonely ego lost in space locked inside a rusty cage A burned out bus a war torn state in a galaxy that can’t be far enough away I was time traveling north You were time traveling south A mirror in a mirror with a mirror in it’s mouth Passing though (it doesn’t) matter off falls the rust up goes the hammer Forgetting place where we feel no pain pull the bolt and slide the chain One by one my fears are gone Science says there’s nothing wrong with me I need a Beggar’s Law the one we got was never really meant for me I don’t know what it means Systems will all break down giant bird’s dreaming of the underground Take me to your holy man I want to destroy everything I don’t understand Wax and leather wind and foam I never knew there was a voice in my head until it was gone I need a Beggar’s Law the one we got was never really meant for me Systems will all break down giant bird’s dreaming of the underground….
