Thunder In A Jar
02:01
|
|||
|
I feel a new day dawning
it cuts my words low and lean
and I don’t wanna be a prisoner
I know you know what I mean
It’s in a box of spirits yawning
power chords and rougher stuff
a part of us lives in a record
before the rain before the rust
so did I change? I do
but I remain under a blue sky
with an eighteen year old you
and a heart full of wonder
like thunder in a jar
so look inside at two dogs fighting
who’s to say which one is real
And when you see me they surrender
I know you know how I feel
so did I change? I do
but I remain under a blue sky
with an eighteen year old you
and a hear full of wonder
like thunder in a jar

Funny

I was feeling like a man dug up
and your voice said honey
I could say so brave so what
your heart was running away with me
It was an ocean in a dream
we were sitting in the sand
and sleeping in the afternoon
I think about you out there and can’t
help but feel blue
when you hear that song do you feel funny?
I do
we were tripping on the real good stuff
and your soul looked golden and green
I could say so brave so what or so long
but come one
you’re running away with me right?
we were sitting in the kitchen
you were holding my hand
we were sinking like a bucket of mud
now I think about you out there in that
strangerland picking that garden
I hope your not sorry
I am
I was feeling like a hard night’s day
and I couldn’t be what you needed
now I ain’t got much to say
I just let it be time is
running away on me
now I don’t understand this
goddamn wasteland this
broken young thing beautiful you
but I take it with me everywhere
and I put it in the groove
when you hear that song do you feel funny?
I do
It’s like a heavy old train
on a rolling plain
you got me rattling the sun and moon
now I think about you out there under
skies of pale blue
and get soaked in rain
I feel it in the wanderin’
i feel it in the lost road running
I feel it when I knew ya
i feel it in a hallelujah
I feel it when I face it
I feel it in a bar straight wasted
I feel it in the lost isle of T-rex sized tears in exile
I feel it in the bomb light
I feel it in the morphine midnight
I feel it in the ringing
I feel it in the siren singing
I feel it in the crazy LSD Kamikaze
I feel it when I look up

Melanie
03:45
|

|
dreamboat baby I’m out the door
wishing in the wind and
fishing on a stone floor two stall garage
building a bong 17 summers long
Jose man can you see me
I’m as young as ill ever be
but am I just a mirage?
an odd collage of settling debris?
oh Melanie
I lose my cool when I look at you
there’s no melody no rhythm
I'm stuck there I'm frozen
oh Melanie
oh Melanie
stone dead black nights
if I dig down deep to where the roots are alive
I see someone else cop my pose only 9 summers ago
Joe felt good but kind of strange
standing under all that rain
but was she just a mirage?
an odd collage of static and red shame?
oh Melanie
I lose my cool when I look at you
there’s no melody no rhythm
I'm stuck there I'm frozen
oh Melanie
oh Melanie
shine my brightest days
sunshine don’t go away
want you in the worst way
sunshine don’t go
dreamboat baby I’m a live wire
lemonade whiskey frisky by the fire
plucked out seeds shrugged off time 17 summers am I
Joe felt strange but kinda blue
standing under her bright moon
but was she just a mirage in a two stall garage?
in a fishbowl in her room?
oh Melanie
I lose my cool when I look at you
there’s no melody no rhythm
I'm stuck there I'm frozen
oh Melanie
oh Melanie

Mustang '69
03:20
|
|||
|
momma sky reach down and hold
this worn out heart of man
walking out on that ledge of metal
hammer in a worn out hand
used to drive to suzy’s meadow
smoke that mary jane
she went home to god
god help me
I just ain’t the same
I remember that cold tap water
dripping like a dead drum line
I didn’t wanna see those weary eyes cry
my sorrow is a black fire breathing mustang '69
just burning down summer in the back roads of my mind
leaning on the steely rivets
heavens window sill
walking out on that ledge I shiver
higher and higher still
I used to bleed all over
I used to rock and roll
I used to dance with suzy in the backyard of my soul
and i remember those baby blues
looking at me like a child
sayin’ come on lemme in, I’m something wild
my sorrow is a black fire breathing mustang '69
just burning down summer in the back roads of my mind
morning comes and bowls me over
like it always does
up here welding towers
with the angels and the rust
I like to think of suzy in that mustang '69
sitting shotgun
tearing down the backroads of my mind
and now that bird of truth is perched
upon my bolts and beams
and when she crows I wake up from a dream
my sorrow is a black fire breathing mustang '69
just burning down summer in the back roads of my mind
just burning down summer in the back roads of my mind

Gunshot Snare
04:27
|

|
driven
to your destination
with a bag of green
sunglasses on
it’s a sunlit scene
black caddy
surfer on a wave goodbye
and you don’t know it yet
but just up ahead
good god there’s angels
in the street
they say that your stardust
is used up
gunshot snare you broke my world up
turn hurricane look at me now
you were one grave morning one Saturday
only a wave away
driven
to your destination
mercury’s burning side
sunglasses on
your gonna need em
green crickets on thirsty lawns
want money and here money is god
gunshot snare you broke my world up
turn hurricane look at me now
you were one grave morning one Saturday
you were only a wave away
and now I am a ghost train rider
trying let go
of an echo an echo an echo
it sounded like a gunshot snare
a time machine
rattling tambourine
gunshot snare had to call her up
and she died on the telephone a million times
hollowed in the crash light
shaking off a million days
he was only a wave she’d say
a ghost train rider
trying to let go
of an echo an echo an echo
it sounded like a gunshot snare
time machine
rattling tambourine
I ride those rails at night
and I pass by what looks like heaven
I ride those rails at night
and I pass by what looks like heaven
I touch the ghost train window glass
as it glows like heaven
and it makes me want to cry
cause it feels like heaven

Prisoner
04:56
|
|||
|
born on a petal
a new earth wildflower
home is a bright maze of space and time
no scars in a stone tomb
skulls in the bedroom
or grey night visions who said goodbye
hard luck, cold sweat, bye bye wonder
the far off thunder the blood of melody
I don’t want to be a prisoner
We are torn in the middle
the sly teeth in the garden
I wanna play something pretty but all I do is slam
on the banks of an ocean
the bare soul of a black drum
where the eight eye lion and eight eye ram
climb through windows
stand in corners
cry like mourners the blood of melody
I don’t wanna be a prisoner
hard luck, cold sweat, bye bye wonder
the far off thunder the blood of melody
I don’t wanna be a prisoner
(come on freedom light my love,
shine a light and just wait up for me
the freedom light my love,
shine a light and don’t give up on me)

Dark Honey
04:51
|
|||
|
I look out at you from the darkness of our room
crickets swarming the gas pumps in south Texas
part of me is always there
calling to the future for redemption
I see you through their spinning clouds
through a crawlspace constricting like a boa
and in my short of breath blankness I choke to warn you
I look out at you from the emerald scales
of a fish my mother saw in a dream once
you know that part of me is always there
writhing with the worms she saw between them
I look for you on breaking waves
in the belly of the universe expanding
and in my loss for words stammering
I break down because I love you
so
I look up at you on my knees in the rain
I see god peer from curves beneath a sun dress
but part of me the man not there is pacing in a windowless basement
go dig for me in red clay
until the lace and frills and thrills have all gone muddy
I dive into your lakes of tar I vanish in your dark honey
sex in amber acid skies of ragged wonder
lay you down in saturated technicolor
bite your lower lip and thunder through your shadows
like a voyeur in a porno that’s what you said from your meadow
in my head my ms. distort
you my queen of all that blooms
against that wild vine covered wall
your door that hides in thorns shake haunted in the night
crack rattle down my hollow halls
I know what hurts you I would kill it if I could
I swear to god I would
honey
I look out at you from the darkness of our room
part of me is always there
kneeling in the grass beside the highway
look for you underwater
in my heart and in my mind and in my pocket
until everything within me sighs aloud and sings your name
it’s so dark honey
across the highway through the sawgrass like an ocean
I was running down the shoulder in slow motion I was no one
I was panic stricken fading with the stars in a tomb
there were spiders on the nightstand in the darkness of our room
and I was rippling the air as I reached out to feel for you
your eyes as old as time your heart a flower blooming blue
I said there’s nowhere I won’t go
nothing I won’t do
for you my dark honey

Chameleon Lights
04:52
|

|
dazed knotting up my nerve nervous as a hummingbird
I don’t know the words I’m just a muddy worm
and your a butterfly you caught me looking at you
and it made me wanna die
leaning on the wall watching you shine
sinking like a submarine shrinking like time
It's gotta be a dream walking up to me
I think I better run I think I better freeze
because all of my love was ragged and longing
crush me and set me free
everything froze up all of the sudden
that’s when you said to me
dance with me in the chameleon lights
hold me in the midnight glow
stone me numb in the slow down drum
don’t let me go
maybe all we ever have is one more song
move me til the end
tell me that you love me
do it again and again
arms see a million stars with you in a snow globe
spinning in a mirror ball flutter like a hummingbird
I don’t know the moves
show me where forever goes riding on a groove
because all of my love is ragged and waiting for ya
crush me and set me free
I like how you move me fearless and truly
I like how you say to me
dance with me in the chameleon lights
hold me in the midnight glow
stone me numb in the slow down drum
don’t let me go
maybe all we ever have is one more song
move me until the end
tell me that you love me do it again and again

Turning Strange
03:34
|

|
I’m turning strange rearrange me
the rain falls up and I turn young again
we must have been I know we were
stoned or blurred out of a picture
a longing blue note bend
too damn high to steady and drive
but I’m ready to drive all night
I’m too damn scared to love you
but I’m ready to hold you tight
and I’m not sure if it’s worth the hurt
a wish on a dried up well
I’m hungover and burned from searching
but I’m ready to run through hell for you
I’m turning strange and I can’t forget her
my junk projector’s bright eyed movie stars
I know we are I guess we were
stoned or blurred out of a picture
a longing blue note bend
too damn high to steady and drive
but I’m ready to drive all night
I’m too damn scared to love you
but I’m ready to hold you tight
and I’m not sure if it’s worth the hurt
a wish on a dried up well
I’m hungover and burned from searching
but I’m ready to run through hell for you
where the roll gets slow let’s go let’s go
all you lost girls, lost boys
maybe too much but stick around I like ya
lost girls, lost boys

Miami
03:11
|

|
pink pastel motel crasher
the one behind the eyes with the old guitar
long drag yeah
grave smasher
1999 with a broken heart
all she left me is Miami
and an XO on the window of a fancy memory
pro low grade cocaine stasher
two inside my shoe she’s a blonde on speed
like madness
like laughter
an alligator swimming through the bones and reeds
at midnight we die for pennies
on a black stage
like a shark cage in a deep sea of memories
pink pastel motel crasher
the one behind the eyes with her hair in the wind
I’m a bad tattoo black blue thrasher
motor in a dark alley rumbling
singing, all she left me is Miami
all she left me is Miami
all she left me is Miami
and an XO on the window of a fancy memory

Why Don't We Drive
02:07
|

|
murder murder marijuana
sweet summer oh six
we were throwin’ sound into the woods
and chasing after it
my younger brother took a hit
and started playing drums
he left his mom at sixteen
and now he can’t get home
ninety miles an hour in a pontiac GT
the words my father said to me
cut deep enough to bleed
it looked like time would just collapse
and everything would stop
till Danny hit the three with just two seconds on the clock
why don’t we drive
why don’t we drive and not look back
why don’t we fly away
why don’t we fly away

New Mexico Blanket
04:47
|
|||
|
I have the vision of a salmon colored dawn
sometime somewhere very far
you stand before me in tyrannosaurus footprints
a storm forever in your eyes
and I keep on dragging this New Mexico blanket around
I don’t know how to put it down
and you are the colors you are frayed out of your mind
You are six strings buzzing dancing in a line
she’s your sky a bruise dressed in lightning
you’re her night black rainbow
I have the wisdom of the terror in the hall
junkies in their labyrinths and late night phone calls
I slept in Santa Fe tyrannosaurus footprints
I heard my little sister say
she’s your brand new day pirouette plie
you’re her night black rainbow
I have the vision of an infinite plain
sometime somewhere very strange
you sit beside me in the firelight
ending just where it began
and I lay down my New Mexico blanket for the view
of sleeping mesas of me and of you
of dinosaurs fossilized in 1989
cowboy chords buzzing just walking on a line
I’m your sky a bruise dressed in lightning
you’re my night black rainbow

Rare Feathers
04:07
|
|||
|
let it all dissolve in you
there is nothing more to do
sit awhile and play the chords
from down on your bedroom floor
constellating love and war, oh god
then a bird flies overhead
and it takes away your breath
rare feathers
and barbed wire fences are circling
barefoot runners swinging at
impossible sinkers and looking way back when
the stage is made itʼs happening
ballerina in the wing
do you love me when I sing?
can you save me from wanting?
even if itʼs everything? oh god
then a bird flies overhead
and it takes away my breath
rare feathers
and barbed wire fences circling
trains of silver and passengers
freaks and losers jumbled up
misfit numbers mothers homeless children
fathers broken wagon the wanderers
Eve and Adam the painters of loveʼs asylum
boxed wine and psilocybin offenders
yellow reptiles brothers and lost loud music
red barns roaring engines
sisters fretboard blisters
the footprints of barefoot runners
swinging at impossible sinkers
looking way back when
