lyrics

When the clouds have vanquished and the sun, it rests so deep and the mountains, they come to life when you reach the highest peak There's so much sky to see There's so much sky to see so much sky will be so much sky Just rub your eyes, and stabilize the best is yet to come this is your day so touch the ray the spectrum of our lives Under this dome we call our home the living grow and thrive I look above, I feel the love it's great to be alive There's so much sky to see there's so much sky to see so much sky will be so much sky When the clouds have vanquished and the sun, it rests so deep and the mountains, they come to life when you reach the highest peak Just rub those eyes, and stabilize the best is yet to come this is your day so touch the ray the spectrum of our lives There's so much sky to see there's so much sky to see so much sky will be so much sky so much sky

Hey, Simon! 03:56
lyrics

Hey there Simon go help Jesus with his cross I can't be bothered when there's whiskey in my jar I told my mother that a girl had done me wrong bottle my liver, someone please show me the door High octane blood aglow my porcelain hyde my lips are purple pressin' grapes out of their skin Somebody cried and their tears got into my eyes the ring inside my coffee mug, the rings around my eyes I poured some water and the sun came splashin' down it dropped into my glass and dried me up and burned me out my mind evaporated, friends came into town I consumed my evenings, but my days were never found Buffalo snow my insides warm from all the coal pot belly stoves and gravel, kickin' up some road Somebody cried and their tears got into my eyes the ring inside my coffee mug, the rings around my eyes

Steady I Go 02:57
lyrics
buy track
Every time I walk I think I'm talking to a piece of the ground You told me something then and yet again I wish you'd say something now My drinking hand is steady when it's empty then I'm ready for more I keep the cup up to my lips and point my eyes upon the floor If you think I didn't notice, then there's something wrong with you The situation isn't hopeless, if all the lies you say are true If you think I didn't notice, then there's something wrong with you Yesterday my girl gave me flowers and I'm not the same Every year my birthday comes I want to change my name New clothes mask the shame for all the gin that I put away Perhaps I will be able to get along with someone today If you think I didn't notice, then there's something wrong with you The situation isn't hopeless, if all the lies you say are true If you think I didn't notice, then there's something wrong with you

My Mind 02:24
lyrics

I don't like the weather do do do do I've seen better days ah ah Trade for a new one whatever it pays I found a new lover do do do do She's stuck in her ways ah ah Trade for a new one no matter the lay Days pass and they leave me far behind Grains of sand amass and occupy my mind All in time I glance at my watch do do do do And study my face ah ah Reflection always puts me back into my place I'm light as a feather do do do do Floating in space ah ah How can you run if you don't know the pace? Days pass and they leave me far behind Grains of sand amass and occupy my mind Over time Days pass and they leave me far behind Grains of sand amass and occupy my mind All in time I don't like the weather do do do do I've seen better days ah ah Trade for a new one whatever it pays Get rid of your watch do do do do Forget about age ah ah Read what you write before turning the page

I Am Folk 01:46
lyrics
buy track
I love to drink I love to smoke I sometimes make love to the devil I am folk If you hear the music calling, don't you follow me I'm sailing with my guitar out to see No one strums or picks one just like me I'll burn some hay Drink loud mouth soup I'll pluck and grill the fattest chicken in the coup When my head falls to the pillow, all worries evade me I'm dreaming of poached eggs and black coffee No one cooks a breakfast quite like me Fuck with my shrubs And I'll fuck you My fist will make your face all black and blue I can build a blazing fire with some twigs and a couple of leaves Everything I sing you gotta believe No one's quite the folk I claim to be

Masthead 04:06
lyrics

Sight for stars, the masthead gave thee through fog or frost or rain, the ability to see hoist your food, with a tackle old Stylite die where you lived your post, ere never short of sight Rather lifeless, these men are made of stone face out another gale, or lose your home trust what you see, for we will trust in you steer clear of rocks and lust, when sea maidens ensue Masthead, help me find my home Masthead, it's good to be alone From the rise till the set of the sun, alone it may endear be you a dreamer, then dream with eyes that peer no news or worries, only battles with your mind the crow's nest will keep you warm, through all that you might find Sight for stars, the masthead gave thee through fog or frost or rain, the ability to see depend upon your weather eye, watch for a white whale harpoon the pit where your heart sits for when you sail Masthead, help me find my home masthead, it's good to be alone Masthead, help me find my home masthead, it's good to be alone

Severance Packages 02:37

Severance packages Unemployment checks What are these silly things Bestowed upon me I didn't quite expect... The crash to come so soon nobody banks the way I do now my stocks have left a bruise it reminds me of you financially abused and my pants they fit too loose idle pockets have no use a money mattress makes no dreams cause it's torn at the seams They say my money's bad cause now it's less than I had so many payments overdue and yet i still spend on you

Tree Is Far Away 03:47
lyrics

The tree is far away 'Cause you didn't hear me say But it seems as though we understand And all will be okay It was silly anyway I love you anyway Ah Ah Ah Ah And if you didn't hear me We'll throw my words away And start on something different You know I'm here to stay It was silly anyway I love you everyday Ah Ah Ah Ah Our perfect intonation Has always been a tell While others left me dead and flat You found me sharp and well I really ought to tell It hurts to be in hell Ah Ah Ah Ah Sun shines into your room Drinking beers and eating fruit Short stories and Mexican food It is you, only you Sun shines into your room Drinking beers and eating fruit Short stories and Mexican food It is you, only you, that I see The tree is in the woods My heart is in your hands It hurts to breath and when you squeeze Love seeps into your glands I hope you understand I want to be your man Ah Ah Ah Ah

There You Go Again 03:12
lyrics
buy track
Snow flakes drop from space onto your face, as I brush the hair from your eyes Your train is running late, I guess our fate remains as certain as a sunrise The times you try to leave are poorly planned and half conceived, you'd rather fail than seek what you deem true That grin can stretch for miles, cause when you smile, the open road will travel you You'd rather lose than win as long as someones, feeling sorry, just for you And when you get to win one you forget that certain someone, who was there when it was bad to see you through

Your Mirrored Self 04:52
lyrics
buy track
Sometimes I think I should be talking The words are buried in my head The things I view are skewed so I think I'll keep my eyes closed My thoughts make all the difference everyday Sometimes I think I should be talking The words are buried in my head The things I view are skewed so I think I'll keep my eyes closed My thoughts make all the difference to me It's your turn to ask a question Your mirrored self is all you see I guess you didn't get a chance to finish talking Go talk to someone else, don't bother me It's your turn to ask a question Your mirrored self is all you see I guess you didn't get a chance to finish talking Go talk to someone else, don't bother me
