Old-Timey Halos
03:24
|
|||
I don't care if it rains or freezes
As long as I've got my plastic Jesus
Sittin on the dashboard of my car
It comes in colors that are pink and pleasant
It glows in the dark 'cause it's iridescent
And I'll take it with me whenever I go far
So bring me my lady Madonna
Dressed in rhinestones, sittin' on a
Pedestal of abalone shells
Drivin' ninety but I'm not scary
Just as long as I got that virgin Mary
Assuring me that I will never go to hell
So let's drive drive drive
Aint it good to be alive
Right here at the same place about the same time
Well I never seen the northern lights
Although I expect to before I die
So let's drive, drive all day, drive all night
With these halos, old-timey halos
With these halos upon our head
With these halos, good-timey halos
With these halos upon our head
Well the TVs broke, we got no batteries to make it
Theres a banjo in the corner you could learn how to pick it
Got a song in your heart you could take it out and sing it
Got a bell in your pocket you could take it out and ring it
With these halos, old-timey halos
With these halos upon our head
With these halos, good-timey halos
With these halos upon our head
One fine morning when this life is over
I'll fly away
To my home on god's celestial shore
I'll fly away
I'll fly away oh glory, I'll fly away in the morning
When I die hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away
With these halos, old-timey halos
I'll fly away
With these halos, good-timey halos
I'll fly away

More of Everything
03:18
|

More of everything
Everything so much
We got so much more of everything
Everything so much
Everything oh well
Fill my house with more of everything
Help yourself 'cause we got so much
Our cup is overflowing
We have everything
But we want more of
When will we be content with anything?
People got so much but you know what
They're still looking for more of everything
If you get sick I'll send you a letter
That says I hope you feel better
I was floating on my back
When thunder came and lighting struck
And It was so overwhelming
It woke me up!
Everything oh well
Everything so much
Fill my house with more of everything
What we got no is so much so much
What we need now is more of everything
If I get sick please send me a letter
That says we hope you feel better
I just hope that all these things
That I want in hot pursuit of
In the end
Just don't mess me up
Old mule carry my things over the mountain
Highway seventeen, carry my things
Old mule carry my things over the mountain
You poor old mule, poor old mule

All Fools Day
03:16
|
|||
We're not all good
We're not all bad
We had our times
We lived through that
Stuck in our ways
Some bad habits
Project ourselves into the past
Where we got burned
Where we messed up
Got confused
And flipped the truck
Now every time I see the road
I'm upside down
Out of control
When logic fails
Like it always does
We're emotional
There's too much to know
To figure out
How it adds up
To hold it all in a plastic cup
Drink it down
Smoke it up
Deal with the impossible
Still we act to please ourselves
In secret lives
Invisible

Dirt In My Teeth
01:58
|
|||
See that train a-coming
It's gonna crash into your station
It's gonna hit you hard
It's gonna mess you right up
Hear that whistle blowing
It's trying to send you a warning
Might want to turn around
Might want to suck it right up
The less I am who I was
The better I felt
The more I serve the same old ground
The less I was
The more I fall on my face
And taste that dirt in my teeth
The better I am
The less I think about myself
The better I am
The more I try to figure out
The less I know
The more I fall upon my face
And taste that dirt in my teeth
The better I am
Smell those brakes a-burning
I thought I learned my lesson
But I fell back in that hole without a rope

Moonwalk
03:47
|

My darlin' do
I love you
And I want to go for a
Moonwalk with you
My darlin' do
Yes I love you
And I want to go
For a moonwalk
Yes I want to go
For a moonwalk
Stars they shine from a-far
They tell us something
About who we are
My darlin' do
I love you
And I want to go for a
Moonwalk with you
My darlin' do
Yes I love you
And I want to go
For a moonwalk
Moonlight follows our walk around
Such a sweet invitation
We'd be fools not to take it
My darlin' do
I love you
And I want to go
For a moonwalk with you
My darlin' do
Yes I love you
And I want to go
For a moonwalk

Lost & Found
04:20
|
|||
Get lost and found in our own way
With our old friends that keep us around
Get lost and found in our own way
In our own time we come around
Turned twenty-one in the city
With no money and too much time on my hands
We tripped around, thew our axes in the ground
Backed into walls and pissed ourselves away
Good times yeah but we looked for peace in it
Woke up in saffron and grey
Counting beads in rhyme
Looking for a perfect way to pass our time
In a room of mirrors
And the cat chased us away
Get lost and found in our own way
With our old friends that keep us around
Get lost and found in our own way
In our own time we come around
Back then I know something changed in us
More than the smoke that we put in ourselves
It's a force thats irritable
Like that old song that gets stuck in my head
Don't take him plain, he's emotional
He wears his heart on his sleeve
We come and go, complain and grow
See something shine and we're caught and released
Our names don't change, but we barely stay the same
We take our bad habits to the grave
In the mirror I see a man that I used to know
He looked like someone I knew when I was a kid
Get lost and found in our own way
With our old friends that keep us around
Get lost and found in our own way
In our own time we come around

I only go to church for to drink
I only drink to get drunk
The drunker I get
The more I can understand you
Some people they love to drink
Some people get drunk everyday
The drunker they get
The more they are on the tv
I saw the sunrise this morning
I only hope that I live to see the sunrise again
Some people I can't understand
Other folks, they'll never get me
Just to get along these days
It takes a great deal of sympathy
Sympathy! Yes it does!
Some they think the past is behind us
And you can read about it in a book
Others know the past it's alive and well
It's all around us
Can't you feel that pressure cooker cookin'
Man it's getting hotter everyday
The hotter it gets
Makes me want to go to church and drink
I saw the sunrise this morning
I only hope that I live to see the sunrise again

Bunker Hill
04:22
|
|||
Bodies lay out bleeding about on the bunker hill
Some hearts releasing, some repeating, some hanging on still
We battled in our bodies and we fought it out in our mind
Till that lucid current came and took us in the nick of time
You started singing a song I was singing in my head
I wasn't even looking back when you started up to sing
If there ever was a true believer it was me I felt a fool
To believe a system of ideas that was real and true
You have done some bad things
I know I've done some bad things too
If you can forgive me, I will try and forgive you too
You started singing a song I was singing in my head
I was half asleep but it woke me up to hear you sing
We admit we don't understand the premise anymore
But we keep acting like we wrote the book, we know the score
Bodies lay out bleeding and stinking up on bunker hill
Some hearts conceded, some releasing, some hanging on still
We battled in our bodies and we fought it out in our mind
I always hoped we'd figure it out just in time
If there ever was a true believer it was me but this is true
What's real is real is the love that I have for you

All Wrong/All Right!
03:43
|
|||
We all die, die, die
Basically the same way
We all take our blues, blues with us too
We all try, try, try
Just to create something
It's the most meaningful thing we can do
I believe, I believe, I believe I'll dust my broom
I believe I'll stay awake until the day
There's a part of me wants to get to know that part of you
If you invite me in I just might stay
We all die, die, die
Basically the same way
We all take our blues, blues with us too
We all try, try, try
Just to create something
It's the most beautiful thing we can do
I'm alive, I'm alive, I think that you are alive too
We aint bit the dust yet and man that's ok
That puts a feather in my cap,
That puts a spring in my step,
That puts a lightness of touch in my day
Well you're wrong and you're right and you're wrong
Well you're wrong and you're right, so right
We all die, die, die
We all try, try, try

The Unwinding
03:35
|
|||
Don't be a martyr for joy
No one will come to your rescue
It's all top hats, it's all elephants
It's a circus
It's a mind game down a black hole
It's not worth it
ooh now blow out the candle
ooh on your concept of time
How am I not myself?
Driving home again, waking up again,
Go to sleep again, pull those sheets again
Making up again, breaking up again,
Sitting out front of my house in your car again
Moment by moment . . .
ooh I saw it so clearly
ooh I forgot who I am
How I am not myself?
The unwinding
Moment by moment

Charley

Charley, I miss you in my heart
Wish I could call you up
And we could talk about the game
Now these pictures make me sad
I think of all the times we had
Won't ever be the same
You were the foundation
We'd go on and on
You taught me how to shave
We'd talk some politics
Joe Montana to Jerry Rice
And a walk off homer keeps the Giants hope alive
We would play the Beatles, Boss,
Rolling Stones and Neil Young
Music was our religion
If that is religion I don't know
Here we all are for you howling
at the full moon, yeah
saying you were a good man
Charley, I miss you in my heart
Wish I could call you up
Cause I got some things to say
I'm just glad we never missed
A chance to say I love you
I love you, I miss you
