We have no real secret
Everybody knows
We have all been abandoned and
I'm out of my sheep's clothes
Baby, you got needs
That must be met
We all bleed
Yeah, we're all in debt
I just need weed, sucker
Keeps me out of trouble
I ain't got time
I'm a flatbed trucker
Haven't been home in weeks
Shaving in the truck while I'm driving
Shaving in the rear view mirror
Ain't been asleep for days
Maybe you can spare some kindness
I just want to feel ancient and timeless
For a few moments of frozen silence
Sometimes I'm scared to death you'll really get to know me and
You'll walk right out that door
Sometimes I eat potato chips in bed
Sometimes I sleep right on that damn floor
Just need weed, sucker
Keeps me out of trouble
I ain't got time
I'm a flatbed trucker and I ain't been home in weeks
I just want to feel ancient and timeless for one golden moment of silence
I just need some weed, sucker...
I just want some weed...
I just want one moment of frozen golden silence...

1918

One October night with a raging flu
Sarah Jane says, "If I got Covid19, you got Covid19, too"
She dropped the twins right into the basket
Headed northeast to see the undertaker
Left one in a casket
Eleanor survived
Augusta faded black
Two angels go to the forest and
Only one comes back
One October night with a raging flu,
Sarah Jane says, "If I got Covid19, you got Covid19, too"
Suddenly 1918 rings all too familiar
There's a triller in Manilla who's got a tripbox for a liver
They say, "shit happens"
Well, it's happening, again
You put your left Covid19 out
You put your right Covid19 back in
One October night with a raging flu,
Sarah Jane says, "If I got Covid19, you got Covid19, too"
You know, when this thing opens up and
The deal goes down
You can bet I'll be at the racehorse track
Putting all my money down on the crazy horse
Who is that masked man...

27 Years

If it takes 27 years just to show you how much I love you, how much I do
If it takes 27 years just to pay it all back, then, I guess that’s just what I’ll do
Was a time and a place you wouldn’t talk to me that way
Honey, I just can’t believe the things we do and the things we say
If it takes 27 years just to show you how much I love you, how much I do
If it takes 27 years just to pay it all back, then, I guess that’s just what I’ll do
Said you needed more time to take a break by the shore
There was a time when you were mine and I wanted nothing more
Pandemic cancellations
Qwik Stops and Flying Js
Trouble and tribulations
If you want to go out just stay out and go away
Tough times try to make the best of each situation
But you said that I had to leave so here I am down at the station
If it takes 27 years just to show you how much I love you, how much I do
If it takes 27 years just to pay it all back, then, I guess that’s just what I’ll do

I never thought the boat would sail
You said the check was in the mail
Your eyes were fixed into a far off gaze
Ever since the world went sideways
On your sacred shores where the deal is finally going to go down
Let your spirits soar when the world goes sideways
What is the meaning of all of this
All of the poetry pacing and to do lists
Don’t do me in or let me out
That’s someone else’s dream to win
If danger could grow wings and fly
Would you ask her out and tell me why
Would you go down down down down down just for anyone
On your sacred shores where the deal is finally going to go down
Ever since the world went sideways
Let us not worry
Don’t pay it any mind for now
Ever since the world went sideways
I never thought that boat would sail
You said the check was in the mail
My eyes were fixed into a far off place
Ever since the world went sideways
What is the meaning of this place
All of the poetry pacing and to do lists
Won’t do me in
That’s someone else’s dream to win
If danger could grow wings
Would you let her take you and fly away
If the world goes sideways
Ever since the world went sideways

Where's My Check
02:30
|
|||
Sprung from magic mountain like a
Filthy new Babylon
My hypno-quantum lying baby
My lying baby
I’m moving on
Where’s my check
Said you got tangled in the old spot
Said nobody was gonna give you a new shot
Does shivering in the cold cold wind make you stronger my old friend
Where’s my check
Cash, money
Where's my check
It’s not like it's our last chance
No one should ever make you feel like a runaway
No one should ever make you feel like a runaway
I had a grave affiliation with a troubled man down at the railroad station and
I burnt up all your Federalist papers
The night they drove Old Dixie down
My saxophonist mad man
When do we activate the new plan
What if I can’t hear you anymore or
Hear the clouds rolling in
Where’s my check

No Pariah
02:42
|

Angry and defeated like the old man versus cloud
The old man and the sea and me make three
It’s twelve o’clock on Wednesday
You’re the first to hear the sirens play
I’m always the last one to know
What the hell is going on
I put my bread into the basket
No pariah, no more outcast
No pariah, no more casket
X2
When all of my systems are failing me
When all of my sisters are ailing me
I hope your memory lasts
I hope you have a past
How do you know who you love
If you see no one all day
Well you can talk them on the phone
You can hide your love hide your love hide your love away
What the hell is going on
I put my bread into the basket
No pariah no more outcast
No pariah no more casket
X2

IPA Isolation
01:59
|

Nobody follows the rules
We’re all gonna die
Don’t be a slave to your depression
The splintered wine will help you find you
IPA isolation is sweeping the nation
I will go to the gallows with Mad Dog just like a bride
Unconscious Dad says, “I’m still alive”
IPA isolation...
Is sweeping the nation
Let me out of the house

Masked Man
03:38
|

Who was that masked man
Who’s the guy without the mask
Looking danger in the face or
Is he looking right past it
Somewhere high above the enormous void
Lies all the love you seek and destroy
Where the songs will rise and
The fire never dies
Somewhere beyond his cybernetic home
The inside and the outside of fear is overgrown
With a mad rush of power and sensibility
Somewhere high above the siren and the storm where
The lonely city sighs and
The town crier heads home
Lying on your sacred shores
When the deal goes down
Won’t have to fear no more
Somewhere high above the enormous void
Lies all the love you seek and avoid
Where the songs will rise and
The fighter never dies
A brilliant mind will slowly decompose
Under the stress of non-stop booze and
The wild Irish rose
Baby give yourself a rest
Maybe give it all a rest
Maybe give it all a rest

Amnesia Kings
03:30
|

Wake up, wake up, wake up to
Find yourself stretched thin
Along every point of the time and space continuum
Get out, get out, get out
Before you disappear
You can put your faith in love
You can hide your head in fear
Amnesia King
This is my thing:
I think you find it intolerable to walk the earth and not be a beast
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Let's make love tonight
You got to get up get up 'cos
Only you can do it right
Get out, get out, get out
Before you disappear
You can put your faith in love
You can hide your head in fear
Amnesia Kings
This is my thing:
I think you find it intolerable to walk the earth and not be a beast

Aberdeen

Busted down in Aberdeen
Big flatbed truck ran out of steam and so did I
That’s how I met you and
To think that I thought I was just passing through Aberdeen
Aberdeen…
To think that I thought I was just passing through Aberdeen
When the fever spiked and your face grew pale
Thought my limbs had died when you held my hand at
Stewart Trail, in Aberdeen
When the children were just babies
Couldn’t hear them splashing in the swimming pool
Through the upstairs screen window as I lay dying in Aberdeen
Aberdeen…
As I lay dying in Aberdeen
I have at least 360 reasons not to be tempting fate with you
Surely, if hubris were contagious, then I guess we’d all be fools
In Aberdeen…
I guess we’d all be fools to stop in Aberdeen
Aberdeen...

Barefeet/Bron-Yr-Aur

Sitting in a laundromat chewing on a pizza from Hell
Figuring I’ll call Juliet, but, I sunk my last dime in the wishing well
I prayed for the rain only to get the heat
There’s no ozone layer anymore and the sidewalk burns my bare feet
You could be crying and I could be grinning
I could be flying my head might be spinning
I could be dying we could be winning
You could be faithful and I could be sinning
You do the dishes and I’ll dry the linen
I am willing to do anything
Looks like a new beginning…
