I was walking through the mountains with nothing on my feet i was looking for a fountain i was too afraid to speak oh, how you once came to me and told me what to do you said to go get everything and give it all to you so i did yes, i did. so i went to the city with all of its lights and its smoke i got dolled up real pretty just so i wouldn't have to be alone forty days & forty nights you come to me and smile you call me on the telephone just to talk a while about sin about sin. so when i saw what was coming the famine, the death, and the shakes you said they were but birth pangs and that i did not have to be afraid. but late at night you come to me and you grab me by the arm. i don't know what it means when you say "do not be alarmed". but i am. yeah, i am.

Champ Night 02:27
my imagination's been working overtime but my thoughts always lag behind. and i drove thru a snowstorm just to wind up at yr door. but you know i only know how it used to be i don't know how it is 2 / 3 / 4~!!! and i've been watching way too much tv and i wonder what is has been doing to me well this FUCKING microphone has been chipping all my teeth and you are like a shipwreck buried somewhere under the sea. but you know i don't know how i'm supposed to be i just know what i am. but you know i don't know what i'm supposed to be. i just know that i am.

and I've been spending all of my money on a whole bunch of things that I don't really need. and I don't wanna wake you up and I don't wanna piss you off I just gotta get out of this hotel room so that I can breathe. Oh dear if you're worried we can dig up all the courage that's out in the yard. and I've been working way way too much lately and separating myself from those who really c-c-care about me. and I don't wanna fuck shit up but I kinda wanna kill my boss. I just gotta get out of this restaurant so that I can breathe. and Oh dear if you're worried i've got a big ol' bag of courage out and its out in the car. out in the car. and Oh mama if you're worried we can kill everybody in the stars.

Shoestrings 05:18
the movie was shown on a screen out in the courtyard. the audience just yawned and stared down into their coffees. and i was a boy with a champagne glass on my head. all of my friends: up to our old tricks again and again and again and again and again. they call the shots so i call my mother on thursday. my friends will all laugh when they see my name in the newsreel. and i'm not a boy, i'm a god with a gun to my head. and all these loose ends. i'm tying shoestrings again and again and again and again and again. on a donkey you came you were drunk on a chalice of boxed wine. the streets are not paved but they'll run red when we are done. and i'm not a boy i'm a slob with an unending mess. so what of the rest? i'm starting over again and again and again and again and again. detectives all run to see the world i've created. nowhere to be found i escape under cover of nightfall. and i'm not a boy i'm a dog with a chance to play dead. if you'd just take my hand we'd haunt those hallways again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again again and again and again and again and again

I Saw A Sign 02:30
I once knew a balding child who was never understood when he spoke. His name was known back in the east but out west he went broke. And I would never tell you this so don’t say that I would, but I heard he quit words altogether but he played that guitar good. When my life was on the line I saw a sign. If the truth is out there you know it cannot be spoke. I thought I heard it once when I was out back for a toke. And I don’t know why I tell you this ‘cause it’s never done me any good but the late night flings and mosquito wings are the most misunderstood. When my life was on the line I saw a sign. Took my time to my way on the top of the mount but I sped on the way down. This cop he pulled us over and he looked just like a clown Said, “I don’t know what to make of this, looks like you boys’ been making wine.” Well We hung his guts from the rearview mirror and we sped off right in time. be cause my Life was on the line When my life was on the line i saw a sign
