Texas Desert Rose
Amarillo, you armored armadillo
muy tranquillo rollin down the window
in the drivin sun
texas desert plain
where do we go when we gots nowhere to be?
how free is easy?
how easy is free?
when the nights get ugly
and your money's gone again
simplify, let love die
simply fly out of sight
slow it grows
texas desert rose
Amarillo, you armored armadillo
estoy contento wherever we go
in the drivin sun
texas desert pain
simplify, let love die
simply fly out of sight
slow it grows
texas desert rose

Waxy Moon Pie
you have left your light on
I can see inside
where has your family gone?
have they up and died?
died
is there any food to speak of
behind your cupboard door?
I have brought sweet plum and olive
if you should want for more
lies
you have just got to roll it for your lovely sake
letting go of all you know of a heavenly ache
pride
oh, letting go
we all have a hard-on
for the sacred path
will you cum inside me
witness the aftermath?
flies
sweet mothers of mercy
your shredded mule awaits
where has your ability gone
to separate what you mean from the shit that you say?
try
why?
be surprised
you have just got to roll it for your lovely sake
grabbing hold of all you know of a healthy escape
you have got to know your own strength for that of an ox
hidden in the wastebasket 'neath the waxy moon pie
hi
bye
hi and bye

No Rival
how do you do?
why are you here?
will you ever come to know
the reason being and being reasonable?
like he who hath no rival in his town
throw it away, throw it away
throw it away for me honey babe
seventeen dreams and the secrets i keep for you
from he who think he hath no rival in his town
plain as the day
dark as the dawn
some lovers are clearly gone
yet live on in haunted memory
memory, memory
feel free to fail me this time
leave me be
lonesome as a loathsome sound
like he who hath no rival in his town
but always with that rival in his mind
jealousy and envy by his side
long in love, faith has gone away
long in love, faith will come again
and how do you choose who to be near to
when you're so far away?
makin faces at the water in your summer gown
now is now and never is questionable
will you ever come to know
how to keep your actions from coming into question again?
be he who hath no rival in his town
holding in the dimmest din around
bleeding for your joy and lying down

Lay With Love
I wanna cry
I wanna die
I want to lay with love
I wanna wake
without the ache
I wanna take your drug
not some radical new-agey sebbatical
cant we try and keep it simple?
as a matter of etiquette im not letting it
bring down any other people
yeah, in light of our mistakes
lets make it right
whatever it takes
I wanna long
I wanna pine
though you will not be mine
and if I am wrong
I do not mind
I want to lay with love
oh, in the morn
when you are gone
well I could lay for days
but I am torn
for there is light
pouring through the haze
light
aw yeah thats right
I know you've heard it before
but im singin it tonight
yeah, in light of our mistakes
lets make it right
whatever it takes
I want to lay with love

All Rise
we have wanted for the day to come
a morning more for everyone
it is in your hands it is on your tongue
it is in your eyes how bad it stung
the feces he flung, a bee that hum
an accordion ringin like your darkened lung
yeah the air you're breathin it aint never been in season
but tell me you are teasin with your turnin to run
all rise
we have wanted more than our meager sum
a mourning more for those who have gone
it is in our hands it is on our tongue
it is in the mind how bad it stung
the feces he flung, that shit talkin man
how he could say them things i can't understand
cause the love i'm feelin i dont ever need a reason
so tell me you are teasin with your turnin to run
all rise
hold tight
backseat lover, nothin permanent
is that the way you treat her?
soon you'll wind up under water
all rise

Shock n Awe
you are a princess
that is your complex
behold the duchess
a hag in a white dress
growing old, giving in
turn your back on everything that could have been
turn your back and leave me here
in shock n awe
you ride the blue line
to get to your art career
I search for returnables
in return for a ride with you
huffing mold, swishing gin
lash my back with everything that could have been
lash my back and bleed-out here
in shock n awe
I taste your aged tongue
I spy your eye
wander from man to man
wondering, "why"?
pools in the river
my crystalline Caroline
coos from the hayloft
making me fever blind
marscapone, lemon skin
all the bitterness we are holding in
all the tenderness you once showed me then
we're here for nothing but
to blow the line
cut up before our time
made for to waste away
cement the border babe
paint all your language grey
you may do it or not
regret it either way

Make it Sweeter
wanna pick a little delicate flower
one that come up after rain
don't you know you give me the feeling?
so good you know I can't complain
midnight fallin, sky is cryin
everytime you go away
wanna lick a little candied apple
pick it up when it fall from the tree
and even if our fruit goes sour
we can always add a little more sugar
make it sweeter
midnight fallin, skies wide open
ever-changin troubled feelin
all the sweetness in this weakness
every time you go away

Do You? (I Do)
06:06

Do You? (I do)
wade into the golden rye
fade into your final sigh
and don't forget the names
of the people here who came to say goodbye
giving chase to higher highs
leaving space for all surprise
oh, and don't forget the names
of the people who became what they despise
lies
leave alone the Texas Rose
stay at home and let it close
oh, and don't forget the names
and the days we threw away exchanging blows
find from where the nectar flows
drink until your breathing slows
oh, and don't forget the names
of the people here who drank that fatal dose
lows, lows, lows
lies, lies, lies
do you?
I do
I killed a blackbird and cut out the heart
spilled its blood upon some grim withholdings
I didn't want it to hurt, you didn't need it to cry
I held a raw flaw up to the light
threw its brood into the fire unfolding
what a wondrous spit what a wonderful sight
in the beginning it was singin' and ease
we pleased each other even in the morning
I didn't want it to change I didn't want it to die
we live to give in to the meatier parts
the ones that weigh upon your backbone moanin'
I didn't want it to hurt but I was too late to try

Monica
are you showing me your best side?
only lonely when you don't get sunlight in your eye
only lonely when you won't try
to show it all to me
and do it all the time
stick your tongue out, say "ah"
am I skilled enough to be your doctor 'tra la la'
am I built enough to be your builder
and give ya shelter
for all kinds of weather
don't leave me all alone
too terrified to move
tell me can you lead me to the light?
now that you have gone
I won't know what to do
but buy into goodbye and cry out for you
the truth you leave behind
a shadow by your side
together we will wade into the light

Bottle o Wine

Bottle o Wine
covered in rind
callin out from the inside
nothin to chase
but a bottle o wine
bottle o wine
cruel shape of the grapevine
I can escape through a bottle o wine
covered in lye
stayin in callin out, "why oh why"?
everything tastes
like a bottle o wine
bottle o wine
cruel shape of the grapevine
hiding your face 'hind
losing your grace with the passing of time
I been wonderin' why
why shouldn't I?
I see a look in your eye
I see a serious side
covered in slime
but cleanin' up in my down-time
Puffy and Mase
and a bottle o wine
bottle o wine
token ironic punchline
and a casual decline
deaf, dumb and just fine
piggin' out at the poverty line
forever afford
another bottle o wine
bottle o wine
dig an infinite outline and end-line and byline
and this time
bury the good times for a change
and let the rest go
