You say you wanna play roshambo
You bring the shovel, I’ll dig the hole
You say you wanna play dead instead,
You bring the wine, I’ll break the bread
You say you wanna play roshambo,
Meet me by the creek in palmetto

Abalone

She’s walking down wind from the magic
Stalking wild cats through an alley of silhouettes
A blue tattoo of a shape that goes forever,
She circles round the room with a shell of abalone
She’s digging up the roots of my limit
And scattering the seeds to the wind,
A cigarette hangs low from her lips,
She can make it last forever,
She circles round the room with a shell of abalone

Midnight Jewelry
04:16
|

I was passing through the bluebonnets,
With teenage rattlesnakes all around me
Everybody drunk on the sunshine,
With a desperate need to be nowhere at all
I felt a rusted band of gold
Like a tourniquet wrapped around my soul,
Caught in the spirit of the times
I was on my way to paradise,
But I’m staying right here, right here with you
I’m out to buy some wind from John Domingo,
He pulls it from the sky so high and strange
“The moon is in the man” he always told me,
So dust it off, that midnight jewelry
I felt a rusted band of gold
Like a tourniquet wrapped around my soul,
Caught in the spirit of the times
I was on my way to paradise,
But I’m going all in, all in for you

Cedar Perfume

Cedar perfume, hangs in the room
Cedar perfume, I feel like I do
I think I’ll go for a ride
With a disembodied spirit in the night
Shadow and shade,
What’s left of my name
I’m stoking the embers
Of all that remains,
I couldn’t give you what you need,
It’s a pointless divination to believe…
But our love is evergreen
Yeah, our love is evergreen
Because our love is evergreen
Yeah, our love is evergreen
Trouble in mind,
All of the time
You can look through the window
But you can’t see inside
I am stag with seven tines,
And I’m caught between the clearing and the blind
And I’m leaving LA
I’m on my way,
I’m the bloom of an Iris
Crying for rain,
I burn through the years like gasoline,
But I won’t mistake the ashes for the trees
Because our love is evergreen

Raindance #11

Well its summertime and I think I might be losing my mind
And the thunderstorms roll in but they never begin, oh I swear
That the endless sun burns down a door in my head, still, I know this
Is the life that I’ve always wanted
So I fill the air with smoke
And we’ll go out tonight and we will
Dance out in the street
All, all of my friends have died
From the inside out to the beauty that surrounds them
And the silence that reminds us to get along,
Well I aint been gettin along to well
But soon we’ll all come to understand that one day will be
Left undone and there’s nothing we can do but get along
So lets go out tonight and we will
Dance out in the street
It never rains, never rains in July
Why does it never rain in July
And why does a lie feel just like the truth when you tell it just right
Looks like rain,
Looks like rain,
Looks like rain.

Dublin, Texas

I met you when I was out of my mind,
Faking the Virginia Reel
I should’ve seen we were flying blind
That midnight oil burning at my heels
Then walked in good Mother Mary
Wearing her dancing boots
Sooner or later you’ll find out
Who you are, who you ain’t, and which is true
You’ll find out which is true
I’m mending hats that my father wore
Changing my chambray blood
I hung my heart on a Celtic Cross
High upon a neon palm
Then Walked in good Mother Mary
Wearing her dancing boots
Sooner or later you’ll find out
She’s bound to get the best of you
She’ll get the best of you (repeat)
It gets the best of you (repeat)

Casinos In The Wild
04:03
|

Salt dime in my left boot, jack vine in my hand
And I spin like a wheel in a wheel
Just to see if I can
On a Carolina mountain, in a Carolina spring
I was falling through the water, feeling everything
In some old casino, out in the wild
I was betting on a full moon every night
Closer to the bottom
Than I am to the ledge
And it cuts like a blade to the bone
When the light has an edge
Salt dime in my left boot, jack vine in my hand
And I spin like a wheel in a wheel
You know I can
In some old casino, out in the wild
I was betting on a full moon every night

So Down Low
04:33
|
|||
So long Magnolia, so long Navidad
Leaving the crossroads,
Tried to cut a deal, but I broke the whole thing off
Just four ways to get lost
Thinking in cursive, riding in a Chevrolet
I am returning
I am the returning, I am the returning maze
I am the holiday
And I’m so down low, honey,
So down low
Been so down low, honey,
So down low
But I’m coming round, I’m coming round, I’m coming round to you
I’m coming round, I’m coming round always to you
I am the Shepard
Sleeping through a thunderstorm
Past lives in the weather
Weeping through the willow, weeping through the willow tree
So cover me up in green
I’m so down low, honey,
So down low
Been so down low, honey,
So down low
But I’m coming round, I’m coming round, I’m coming round to you
I’m coming round, I’m coming round always to you

Heathen Nights
05:46

I’ve got some time to kill
But you know I’ve never been the killing kind
I take it in stride, although my mind
Is stray like a roan on a muddy bank
Sometimes it feels a lot like hell,
I loved you but I lost myself
Break off a little peace of mind
Take shelter in the falling sky
Heathen Nights
Everybody’s killing time
Heathen Nights
A sickle in the western sky…
Heathen Nights
I’m leaning on a mood
I’m light as a feather with an alibi
This halo ain’t cheap,
But the wings came free
It’s getting even harder not to sell your soul
Man, you know it feels like hell
I loved you but I lost myself
Break off a little peace of mind,
Take shelter in the falling sky
Heathen Nights,
Everybody’s killing time
Heathen Nights,
A sickle in the western sky
A sickle in the western sky…
Heathen Nights
