Wasteland
Satan
Spray Tan
Dawn on the beat
Down in the street
Tapped it out to play it with my band
I know there’s got to be
Some shitty little place reserved for me
Over yonder in the promised land.
I laughed, and wept, and I slept and
I laughed, and wept, and I slept
And I crashed and wept and I slept until I
Woke alone
I know the masterpiece
Can never be complete
So light me up to play a game with Sam
Though some found belief
I find no relief
Because I know the kingdom cannot stand
I laughed, and wept, and I slept until I
Woke up, grown up
I laughed and wept and I
Leapt into the show
Wasteland

My Medicine

My medicine, light of my days
This medicine, hey! light my way
The message in the wires in my mind
This dirt and spit, drop the scales from my eyes
A time will come, and now it is here
In what next world? This is the next world
The Walrus and the wild unbound
I was not then, but I am now
My medicine, light of my days
This medicine, hey light my way
The message in the wires in my mind
This dirt and spit, drop!!!

Buddy Holly where’d you go?
In the airplane down to Hell
Lifted from a tree
Where everyone can see
Waiting on my hair to grow
Listening for the telephone
Mysteries on TV
Now everyone get free
***
Buddy Holly where’d you go?
In the airplane down to Hell
But you come in through my feet
In through my feet…
But then I get away…
Run, fly, away…
In through my feet…
In though my feet…
***
Guide me gentle
And ride the rental
As the insane burn the harvest
Dining with them
The blind and wicked
As the insane turn the volume
But front and center
And guide me gentler
As the springtime turns to kindness
As the springtime turns to violence
As the springtime turns to…

I’ve seen those dudes roll by
I don’t need anyone to tell me
I should go
Highway to Hell and I
Think I need somebody to drive me
Right home
And you’re slaves
To your bellies and your balls
Or rather not your balls
That would be an improvement
Insane
The devil take you all
They kick me in the stall
But I get used to it
When you do it
To me
Bitch on Abilify
So righteous on her telephone
Whoa
Wake up every morning shaking and afraid
Driven from my bed by the Accuser
To start the day
Hey, hey
Although you’re saved
Everyone and all
But breakfast for St. Paul
It’s got that blues to it
So much pain
When he emptied out my mind
And cast them in the swine
And they ran to the pit
Like they were glued to it
From me

Holy Ghost
05:13

You drive me home late at night
On a backroad
And tell me that you’re gonna drive
With your eyes closed
And assume that the road is straight
Until I tell you otherwise
But I ain’t saying a word to you tonight.
Canopy awake and bright
Driving towards a naked lightbulb
And now it’s too late
For promises and prayers
And I don’t need them, because I’m not scared
The Holy Ghost is whistling
And it’s got me listening
To some old tune
That I knew
All along
You used to tell me that I was a church
To be worshipped in
And now you tell me that I am the source
Of something else
Cussing me out about the wreck
The guilt you think I ought to bear
But I don’t care
The Holy Ghost is singing
And my ears are ringing
You don’t know what to do now
You don’t know what to do now
You better fix my fears
Because they’re falling down
All around
Like snow
And covering the road

Family Tree
04:31

I was listening
When your story
Showed itself to me
It was you, the Holy Ghost, and me
Our only family
***
Leaves fall from a tree
On and on they fall on me
Here comes my favorite part
Brothers, sisters part
In a way enemies
You were holding onto me
Lets go to sleep
Before we’re seen
Before we set fire to this mystery
I won my belief
Won’t be long, it won’t be long
Leaves fall from a tree
On and on and onto me
Today is the day we gotta leave
Sunlight coming through the trees
We are one, but we are also three
On and on eternally
Here comes my favorite part
Brothers, sisters part
In a way enemies
You and the Holy Ghost and me
Let’s go and see
Before we’re asleep
Before we set fire to our misery
I know I want to
I know I need to
I’ll come and haunt you
I’ll run and haunt you
I know I want you
I know I need you
I’ll come and haunt you
I’ll run and haunt you
Na na na na
Na na na na
Two dissonant notes
In the song
Sing along

Wait all night out in the Boulevard
High and wide over the din of the cars
Hanging life chiming just like a guitar
High and bright
Ride alone
And dine alone
The night is long
And the light is wrong in here
Ride alone
And finally gone
To California
The lights all on you now
Light my way out of the boulevard
Night bird stay I don’t know who you are
Through the air chiming just like a guitar
Night bird stay
Nightbird hey I can see very far
(Ride on)
Light my way I don’t need them anymore
(Ride on)
Guide me on out of here
Find a door
(Ride on)
Nightbird stay
Night comes on all wrong
(1234)
Fight alone
Fly alone
The night long and
The light is gone from here
Died alone
Finally gone
Guide me home and
I’ll be honest with you
The night is long
There’s fire on
The light is gone
Guide me on
The night is long
There’s fire on
The light is gone
Guide me on
Ba ba ba ba ba

Witness
04:20
|

Somebody put me in the picture
From wherever I was prior, before
To walk among the whispers
Through a memory, a corridor
Where I see that I want something
That I didn’t want before
I’ve seen it wanted by another
And that made me want it more
Ah ha to be the witness
To the secret and the memory
I was staring at the action
Now the action is a part of me
I swear I didn’t do nothing
But there ain’t nobody accusing you
Of the crime you’re witness to
Somebody call another witness
And put his hand over the Bible
Vividly they saw forgiveness
Quietly they chose survival
Tried to look at the big picture
But it just keeps on getting bigger
And now soon love will hide us all

Six Year Waste of Time

It’s such a shame the rider on the run
With the pain of never loving truly
And the way I feel undone
With the shame of never loving truly
Now the race is run
That was set before us
(One and lone, and all alone)
And now the race is done
So go the way
And look the way
And show the way
There is no way
And I know, and I know,
How it goes when it goes, but
When I get back, we’re gonna be bad
When I get back, we’re gonna be bad
Don’t forget your gun and keep it loaded
(One and lone, and all alone)
And turn your face and run
(Yeah, get along)
All is one
And one and done
So run the track
We can’t go back
And I know, and I know
How it goes when it goes but
When I get back, we’re gonna be bad
When I get back, we’re gonna be bad
I don’t react running the track but
When I get back, we’re gonna be bad

Providence
03:54

Summer days are falling by the wayside
You miss them if you blink
Or stop to take a drink
The armory has been empty now for years
There’s no violence in the air
The wind is cool and clear
And empty now for years
Can’t you see it?
Can’t you see it?
Providence?
Providence?
And now it’s done
The lifting of the curse
Or did you just make it much worse?
Some backward savior coming
Turning wine into nothing?
Nothing?
Can’t you see it?
Can’t you see it?
Providence?
Providence?
