THE NATURAL ALARM

All this panic would be fine
If it turned out like a daydream
Often gentle mostly kind
And locked away like a great scheme
To always love you too
The end of the bedlam comes today
A calm for the natural alarm
repeat the whole thing, substituting "love you true" for "love you too"

COOLER JOCKS This has the same chords as "Crunch Pillow", am I right?

Broken link in a long chain
Bottom of the line for the pupil
Can only mean one thing
To waiting hordes and takers
Who hadn't had enough
This really sucks
I had to run to defend
Oh what shame can do
Ducking out of sight
What a painful view
Run & find some prescription
To bring back a peace
And grant us a party of five
An entourage of three
A game before eventually you lose

E'S NAVY BLUE

A witness of innocent doctors
Of your wound
I stitched up your broken ego
Like an ego round
Is e navy blue
A bluster of faith
A carnivore of taste and witness
A doctor said "your wounds!"
And stitched up your broken ego
E's navy blue

A witness of innocent doctors
Was your wound
too much for your broken ego?
Like an ego round
Is e navy blue
A bluster of faith
A carnivore of taste and witness
A doctor set your wounds
And stitched up your broken ego
E's navy blue

THE BONE YARD



CARNIVAL BOY

Where are you going boy
Off to find your life
Travel throughout the world
You got dreamers sight

Chorus:
Then away tonight
Burn another wall
Actions wait in state
You won't have to bother

Where's your beginning boy
Off to find an end
Travel around the world
Till you find love

Chorus

Where are you going boy
Lost to find your way
Travel throughout the world
You got dreamers sight

Chorus

MARTIN'S MOUNTED HEAD

A wire on the back
for hanging Martin's mounted head
And who had the perfect life
And who had your delightful ways about him
Not dim of life
Insight to the things of well-being
Saving

Delightful ways about him
Not dim of life
Insight to the things of well-being
Saving
Saving

GAS DADDY GAS

Such a fuss about such a story
Standing in the punch line
Scratch the back of some strange emotions
But I can feel your devotion

Gas daddy gas
Customize the border the edge
Is guarded by choice
Gas daddy gas
Customize the border the edge

Can't you see the way I want to live?
It's not hard
Can't you see the winds I want to sail?
It's not important

Gas daddy gas
Customize the border the edge
Is guarded by choice
Customize the border the edge
Gas daddy gas daddy gas
Gas daddy gas daddy gas

TO MY BELOVED MARTHA

Fly like a bird
Black feet that never get shocked
Fried fish
Pluck the hen
Skin the rabbit
Mount the head
All of the rabbits that don't get your scent
Get shot
Or hide like a beast in the forest down
Underground
In a world that's safe
There's the gift you gave

Chorus:
To my beloved Martha
A shiny gold plaque
With a small brass tack
Hold the wire on the back

Chorus again

WHITE FLYER

Blue black lizard and blue black flies
Tiny gila monsters and segmented eyes
I fell asleep on your doorstep
I pushed a rock beneath
My burning heart that needs to stay
Cause everybody needs to stay
In a quiet town
Fingers fly
I put a song in my car deck
I felt a pulling on my
Burning heart that need to stay
Everybody needs to stay
In a quiet town
Fingers fly
In a quiet town
Fingers fly ya!

I DIDN'T KNOW

If you had something on your mind
Well I, I didn't know
If you left something behind
Well I, I didn't know

I never knew
The places you knew
Understand this
strange demand to
see your facing
Traces fading

If you somehow slipped behind
Well I, I didn't know
Understanding ever time I
Break the spell that
You had held for me

If you had something on your mind
Well I, I didn't know
If you left something behind
Well I, I didn't know

I never knew
The places you knew
Understand this
strange demand to
see your facing
Traces fading

GALLANT MEN


IT'S LIKE SOUL MAN

I never liked you till I took a good look at myself
And when I saw you there I saw the best part of me was yourself
It's like soul man

HERMIT STEW

Come to my city
Population barely for one
I can fill this voiding
Of limited housing
Cool and safe

Chorus:
Cool and safe
Every single day
Watch me come and go
I could leave today
but then I'd just have something on my mind

I can be a party of one
Listen to me talking
I frown on sorrow
Cool and safe

Chorus

Shangrila wrecker
Everyone wants to be kingpin
