Little wolf men
it's up the ladder
the way a snake coils
whistles its tongue
at all you young boys
trying to get on top
of anything
if anything
it's a situation
for all you rock stars
rock stars
You were kneeling on your knees
peeing in the streets
you even lit cigarettes
cos you thought you were dying
you thought you were dying
when you tried to hail a cab
at some impossible junction
you found out everything's so organized
that you can barely function
i just thought about that...

have you thought about that?

I can't play this game for you. Your vowels are all gone and Scrabble's left only consonants for you. I can't say if it's right or if it's the wrong thing to do.
Are you calling from a pay phone this time? The lines aren't clear. Is everything okay on your side?
No one needs to know. No one needs to know right now. Take a deep breath in don't let em break you down. No one needs to know. No one needs to know right now. Take a deep breath in don't let em break you down.
Who has the say on how the way things should be? Who will take you home when the lights go on and your glass is empty? Who will hold your breath when you're diving off the deep end?

All the coniferous trees.
They bend in the wind
If I could I’d run around and put it all together again
All the deciduous trees, they’re blowing in the wind.
Why would you ever grow leaves, just to watch them
fall off again?
All that was discouraging me
I did not know when it begin
I would drive in to town each day
but not do a thing.
But I did not complain,
And I will not today
Cause I got my little hurricane
I did not know what to believe.
I did not know where to begin
I went outside,
But I just did…..not much of anything
But I did not complain,
and I will not today,
Cause I got my little hurricane
But I will not complain
Oh no not today…
And all the people I’d see
Blowing in the wind
They’d never wanna stand up
I did not know what to believe
And I did not know when to begin
I would drive into town,
But never really do a thing
Cause they’ll just sit right back down again
Why would you ever grow leaves,
Just to watch them fall off again.

I’m at a loss for words but not determination •
I’ve got a plan and spirit, and sense of direction •
When you are finished fighting with yourself notice we have reached a tie, two for two •
The cards we dealt are waiting for our next move •
What we must do might not be what follows through, but I’m guilty of falling through •
Changing the calendar to the month that triggers shivers •
On that long dark road through all the foggy blizzards •
Imagining you to be impatiently longing for me •
What we must do might not be what follows
through, but I’m guilty of envying our memory •
Digging deep to revive the feeling •
You aren’t helping by fucking around with your living

I’ll trace your goodbyes
Let me down in your salt
I’ll sing the sorrows
I took from your heart
I know that you’re broken
Your face is worn
Green eyes and crows feet
Shall they never part
Where are my children now
Where are my lovers found
They walk on water
Swallow their dreams
The doors in the freezer
And glass in this steak
Half finished cigarettes
Line bedside plates
It’s often a gamble
When pockets are deep
And quarterly returns
Are when families meet
Where are my children now
Where are my lovers found
They walk on water and swallow their dreams
They walk on water and forfeit their needs

Ron Leary - That Guy
03:49

|

you know that guy
in the town
who plays those songs
it seems like
he don’t do much at all
just hangin around
every town
so familiar
just like those hounds
who’ll drag you down
sewn into
the life
of the downtown most nights
ain’t got a friend
but you can count on him
the familiar face
to spill your life
every town
so familiar
just like those hounds
who’ll drag you down
every town
so familiar
just look around
your town

John Shade - Lullaby
04:10

There is nothing worse than
Stealing someone’s purse
And finding out, without a doubt
It’s not what you thought
There is nothing worse than
Being reimbursed
And, like a bum, collecting from
What you never bought
And no one ever sees the silent breeze
But it is there we all believe
Should we agree to disagree?
The is no tomorrow
For a child of sorrow
Just a hopeless ploy to rope
This one to the rest
And there is no tomorrow
For every babe we borrow
Single file, just for a while
From its mother’s breast
As long as it’s in faith we all relate
But even Jesus wouldn’t take that bait
We live in debt
Forgive, forget
There is no solution
For a revolution
Stemming from a single drum
That chokes on its wealth
And there is no solution
When the institution
Diagnoses while it boasts
A clean bill of health
And what is there to say that’s not been said?
A lullaby will work instead
We go to sleep
We go to sleep

Even if I said so, and even though I don't know,
here it's so familiar and I'd much prefer to stay at home
Oh, this will drag us down
Better to leave it behind
Is there news I should know? I'll stick it to my window
Did you say you'll miss me? Well then, shout it down my chimney
Even if I said so (what a funny fellow)
I think I'll have to cancel (look at what he's missing)
when here, it's so familiar (the sun is bright and yellow)
and I'd much prefer to stay at home
And I know this day will wait for me because I'm happy

America, is that you down there?
I see you on my TV and I smell you in my air.
And sometimes I think you might be calling me.
From across the river I hear those factories, going:
Doo wha diddy, dum diddy do
Doo wha diddy, dum diddy do,
Yeah.
America, is that you down there?
Sometimes you make me so fucking scared.
Will the levees break?
Will the bankers drown?
Can an old heavyweight go one more round?
I've got a picture of the Ambassador Bridge
I've got visa papers taped to my fridge.
Doo wha diddy, dum diddy do
Doo wha diddy, dum diddy do,
Yeah.
America, is that you down there?
Do you sound the same as on my radio?
Do you still look like old Hollywood?
Would you play my record if it sounds any good?
I've got a picture of the Ambassador Bridge
I've got my tattoos hid. I've got my hair combed straight.
Doo wha diddy, dum diddy do
Doo wha diddy, dum diddy do,
Yeah.
America, is that you down there?
I can feel you close to me, like my old guitar.
So if I file those papers, will you let me in?
So I can play a little club in Hoboken.
I've got a picture of the Ambassador Bridge.
Now the guy at the border says 'Where to kid?'
Doo wha diddy, dum diddy do
Doo wha diddy, dum diddy do,
Yeah!

Banditas - Fighting Girl
03:27

Used to be the fighting girl
Always on the brink
I fought all a I could find
looking harder and harder
Always holding down my bile
Keeping it ready to release
I knew when it was time
Even thought the clues changed
Never mattered when or where
That all changed too
Staying beautiful that's the difficult part
I don't care about wrinkles or love poems
Want to be strong because I am so weak
I fight to batter myself away from decadence
Lazy self-indulgent little girl
Lazy self-indulgent little girl
