Alamo
Alamo
heard all about your fandango
begged on my knees on your back door
only to wake you to blues on the way
blues on the way
blues on the way
embarcadero, figures you'll see me as older
twenty-three hours til the border
Don't think I'll be going as fast as I came.
fast as I came
fast as I came
the tears on my pillow, of course they're not mine
alter that altar
make it a play
somebody invent the telephone line
I'll take my chances
Alamo
wish I could do what God does
heard that the stars were in order
got yourself dealt a hand
with two queen of spades
and blues on the way
blues on the way
tears on my pillow
of course they're not mine
alter that altar
make it a play
somebody just
somebody invent the telephone line
I'll take my chances
Black Swan
Ride on, ride on
friends of the black swan
ride on, ride on
do you know where she's gone
Gumdrops and saturdays
did Eric call, by the way
he knew, he knew
and he knew where the pillow goes
Ride on, ride on
friends of the black swan
ride on, ride on
do you know where she's gone
Buttercups and fishing flies
the biggest thickest ever sky
I know they know something I know
Ride on, ride on now
friends of the black swan
ride on, ride on
do you know where she's gone
Little green men do ok,
it's the fairies revenge they say
and gumdrops and saturdays
did Eric call by the way
Ride on, ride on
friends of the black swan
Ride on, ride on
do you know where she's gone
ride on
ride on
ride on
To the Top.
Blue Skies
With Brian Transeau.
yeah he-ah he-ah he-ah
those blue skies are ahead
blue skies in my head
All the town clocks
and marching soldiers (socks?)
i say let's go let's go let's go
to this magic wonder show
and i`m walking and
crawling and
so tired i'm insane
so tour-on and sing
High high eye I
High eye I see
Blue skies are in my head
Said blue skies are up ahead
Said blue skies are in my head
Said blue skies are up ahead
Beach wood
says he`d like you-in-the-street
Said like you-in-the-street
in the lullabies
Just when she thinks it`s
like-you-in-the-street
Said like-you-in-the-street
in the lullabies
You can go just where she`s going
Blue skies are in my head
said blue skies are up ahead
said blue skies are in my head
said blue skies are up ahead
Blue skies
Blue skies are up ahead
Butterfly
Stinky soul get a little lost in my own
Hey General, need a little love in that hole of yours
So one ways now and Saturdays now and our kittens
all wrapped in cement
From cradle to gumdrop
got me running girl as fast as I can
and is it right Butterfly
they like you better framed and dried
Daddy dear, if I can kill one man why not two?
well, nurses smile when you got iron veins
you can't stain their pretty shoes
and pompoms and cherry blondes
and their kittens still wrapped in cement
from God's saviors to gumdrops
got me running girl as fast as I can and
is it right Butterfly
they like you better framed and dried
got a pretty pretty garden
pretty garden, yes
got me a pretty pretty garden
a pretty garden, yes
got me a pretty pretty garden
a pretty garden
Cooling
Maybe I didn't like to hear
But I still can't believe Speed Racer is dead
So then i thought I'd make some plans
The fire thought she'd really rather be water instead
And Piggy got a message for me
from Jesus
And I heard every word that she was saying
And I know I have been
driven like the snow
This is cooling
This is cooling
This is cooling
Faster than I can
This is cooling
Faster than I can
So then I tried to make some plans
The fire thought she'd really rather be water instead
This ocean is wrapped around that pinapple tree
And is your place in heaven Worth giving up these kisses
These kisses
And Piggy got a message for me
From Jesus
And I heard every word that she had said
And I know I have been
driven like the snow
This is cooling
This is cooling
Faster than I can
This is cooling
Faster than I can
Yes, this is cooling
This is cooling
Daisy dead Petals
Daisy dead petals, that is her name
she's in the phone booth phase so
underneath the shade of a peppermint tray
she can turn it out with a heal on
she just rides into town
knowing what they'll say
knowing they're around the corner
got a crack in
got a crack in some strange places
Daisy dead petals, that is her name
so maybe she tastes like a hamburger maid, well
these dead petals, honey, brought me here
she said, these dead petals, honey, brought me here
Dancing on a dime
hearing mother cry
maybe she's a-round the corner
got a crack in
got a crack in some strange places
on my back with
on my back with some dirty dishes
Falling down, falling down
all over the river
falling down, falling down, falling down
wish what I'm feeling could go on like this forever
falling down, falling down, falling down
And since we're down might as well stay
might as well fry some eggs
and wave to the shade of the peppermint tray
she's a new friend not a skeleton
to ride into town knowing what they'll say
knowing she tastes like a hamburger made but
these dead petals, honey, brought me here
She said, these dead petals, honey, brought me here
said these dead petals, honey, brought me here
Flying Dutchman
Hey kid, I've got a ride for you
they say your brain is a comic book tattoo
and you'll never be anything
what will you do with your life
oh, that's all you hear from noon till night
Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
where the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
and he's out of sight
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman
Straight suits, they don't understand
she tried that one with the alligator boots
but the other side drew her in
heart falling fast when she left
even the milky way was dressed in black
Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
and he's out of sight
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman
'cause they can't see what you're born to be
they can't see me
they can't be what they can't believe
they can't see what you see
They keep the boys spinning in their own little world
tie him up and so he won't say a word
They keep the boys spinning in their own little world
so afraid he'll be what they never were
Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
and he's out of sight
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman
'cause they can't see
'cause they can't see
'cause they can't see
are you still out there?
They can't feel me |
They can't see What I've found out |
They can't see They can't see You know You know You know You're jumping from a high jump |
Are you still Out there? 'Cause they can't see |
They can't see I just move this Mountain |
Hide your love Hide your lov So many know you know But them, oh they can't see |
Frog On My Toe
Poppa I know
there's a frog on my toe
maybe I'll call him Jethro.
maybe I'll grow up to be quite as good as he
and maybe you'll come back after you're long gone.
and Poppa I'm sure the worms have eaten you now
and Jethro's been on some Frenchy's plate long ago
and now I'm pretty sure that I listened to every word
cause I still hear you telling me still
slap them boys when they're naughty
make them crawl, make you haughty
make you strong little girl
you paint them toes that reddish color
and you know one day you're gonna be bigger than a flea
you're gonna be bigger than that old poison ivy tree
now I'm pretty sure that I think you come and visit
and talk sometimes kind of like Gidget and
in funny little chants like an Indian Brave
you said we all grew fat when the white men came
but one day girl
you're gonna learn to make 'em crawl
make them grow tall but have the grace
to be a lady with disgrace
you fry them 'taters and you make them with lady's hands and all
you're my poppy's baby
Graveyard
Here I said
don't even let this go
and it's hey
to that old man
I'm coming in the graveyard
with my little tune
it's june
I said she's gone but I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm coming in the graveyard to
sing you to sleep
now
Here.In my head
In my head I found you there
and running around and following me
boy you don't dare now
but i find that i have now
more than i ever wanted to
So maybe Thomas Jefferson
wasn't born in your backyard
like you have said, and
maybe i'm just the horizon you run to
when she has left you
There you are here in my head
and running around and calling me
come back
I'll show you the roses and brush off the snow
and open their petals again and again
and you know that apple green ice cream
can melt in your hands I can't
so I, I held your hand at the fair
and even forgot what time it was
and even Thomas Jefferson
wasn't born in your backyard
like you have said and
maybe i'm just the horizon you run to
when she has left you
and me here alone on the floor
you're counting my feathers as the bells toll
you see the bow and the belt
and the girl from the south
all favorites of mine, you know them all well
and spring brings fresh little puddles
that makes it all clear makes it all...
HEY
do you know?
Hey
Do you know
What this is doing to me?
Ooh here
Here
Here
Here in my head
Honey
A little dust never stopped me none
he liked my shoes I kept them on
sometimes I can hold my tongue
sometimes not when you just
skip-to-loo my darlin
and you know what you're doin' so don't even
You're just to used to my honey now
you're just to used to my honey
And I think I could leave your world
if she was the better girl
so when we died I tried to bribe the undertaker
cause I'm not sure
what you're doin or the reasons why
You're just too used to my honey now
you're just too used to my honey
Don't bother coming down
I made a friend of the western sky
don't bother coming down
you always like your babies tight
Turn back one last time
love to watch those cowboys ride
but cowboys know cowgirls ride
on the Indian side
And you know what you're doing
so don't even
Home On The Range (Cherokee Edition)
Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam
where the deer and the antelope play
where seldom is heard a discouraging word
and the skies are not cloudy all day
Home, home on the range
where the deer and the antelope play
where seldom is heard a discouraging word
and skies are not cloudy all day
Well Jackson made deals
a thief down to his heels
had a long trail of tears
the Smokies could hide Cherokee bride
her brave was shot yesterday
Home on the range
where the deer and the antelope play
where seldom is heard a discouraging word
and skies are not cloudy all day
Mmm, We know it's not Caroline
your home is your home
the range may be fine
for some but not in my eyes
Home on the range
the Smokies always hide
Cherokee bride but in her eyes
we know it's not Caroline
yeah, America
hey, America
oh, who discovered your ass?
The white man came
"This land is MY Land
this is your land" they sang
Home on the range
where the deer and the antelope play
where seldom is heard a discouraging word
and the skies are not cloudy all day
and the skies are not cloudy all day
and the skies are not cloudy all day
