Keep Time 02:55
lyrics
Where we go Participate Crawl in low Have it your way There's no stopping the juice, that's what's keeping it loose Swish it ‘round in your mind and wind and wind and wind.... Keep the time, my friend no, don't call it in Play it dirty so you'll never get clean again You and I Since we are friends All i got Is confidence Start speaking French: Parlons francais Ne peut pas jouer Can't play these games (What are you, dense?) Bitches blow like balloons, and as the serum expands see we can see to these wounds, and your condition is bad but we can treat it with moonshine, i mean it i need it too Keep the time, my friend no, don't call it in Play it dirty so you'll never get clean again

Pickering Bridge 01:41
lyrics
I jumped into the creek off of the Pickering Bridge I knew there was nothing that would break my fall Mary kicked off both her shoes off of the Pickering Bridge I knew there was nothing that would bring her back Early Fall, the leaves just turned off of the Pickering Bridge The water it was cold, but I couldn't feel so I floated down, I don't know where, she went away she went away, and left me there, so I floated down off of the Pickering Bridge

I'm In Doubt 02:32
lyrics
Stop playing 'possum Anything is possible I'm trapped inside a bottle Can't find my exit wound No problem, oxycotin That pill is really small It's life that's hard to swallow Here comes Jameson to chase it down I'm in doubt, like a cloud Full of stormy weather raining down I'm in doubt, now hear the sound of thunder Just don't ask me why or how I'm completely blinded What's real is real until we find out what's behind it life is a ferris wheel I'm high as Frankie Lymon as far as I can feel our fate has been decided Bring firewater wash it down I'm in doubt, like a cloud Full of stormy weather raining down I'm in doubt, now hear the sound of thunder Just don't ask me why or how I'm nervous for tomorrow I'm not quite sure exactly why I'm filled with sorrow I don't remember you I'm stuck at Sleepy Hollow Stuck with this ghastly food I begged for Now to borrow A sip of some strong brew, and now I'm in doubt, like a cloud Full of stormy weather raining down I'm in doubt, now hear the sound of thunder Just don't ask me why or how

Gentle Woman 02:53
lyrics
Who is this gentle woman there standing by the fan Her dress it moves so lightly i cannot understand I want to pose a question But don't know what to ask yet in my mind's direction there is no other path You're not with the Program, are you? you don't look like a robot that's good. who is this gentle woman I saw her Monday past I saw her walking slowly I saw her walking fast How do I phrase the question When i know not what to ask But in my mind's direction there is no other path there is no other path: How could I let her pass me by? you should have seen her How could I let her pass me by You're not with the Program, are you? you don't look like a robot that's cool. You're not with the Program, are you? you don't look like a robot that's good.

Why I Love You 04:53
lyrics
You want to know why I love you, ask the sky that's above you You can speak and you can act too, but it don't matter what you say or do Ask the strangers that surround you, all the people that died for you You sacred wave of sound you, you chemical compound you You ask me for a reason That's like asking why I'm breathing I love you just to please you, I love you ‘cause I need you too To sum up my affections leads in the wrong directions For we are just reflections of the stars up in heaven So long as I live so live you So long as you live I live too That's why you look a little like me, your black hair streaked with lightning The way your screws could use some tightening, to read your thoughts can be quite frightening In our bible full of private jokes, I found the drafty of a suicide note I couldn't tell if if it was you or I who wrote, the letters fading while the feelings float Past the fence in the back yard, above the street lights into the night Are we shrinking while your leaving, every angle is deceiving So long as I live so live you So long as you live I live too

Real Goodbye 03:00
lyrics
It's been cold Been a real hard winter Don't know which one's the real goodbye Some are teary-eyed and sometimes there's no emotion at all It's been cold Been a real hard winter Don't know which one's the real goodbye You won't find my poems for years to come I hid them everywhere in every room I told you once oh lady light I told you twice a night It's been cold Been a real hard winter Don't know which one's the real goodbye

Middle Ground 03:03
lyrics
Our bodies are a part of the room we're sitting in to stay is not an option, and leaving is a sin I left home 15 years ago, now I'm 32 can't seem to find the heart to leave the home I built with you Sometimes I close my eyes and try to find a Middle Ground but something always ends up landing upside down I loved you when I told you that I loved you, that was then but something's come between us, and we can't go there again I never lied to you, and you never lied to me but sometimes it seems the truth is worse than letting something be Let's meet again tonight, for the first time, here and now Forget, forget forgiveness, and remember how

Now Yr Here 04:33
lyrics
Baby, baby where you going I don't want you to go nowhere baby, can't you see it's snowing I don't want to you to go out there you been asking jealous questions I've got no secrets i need to tell How can you expect to love me When all you do is put me through hell. but i want you to know: Now yr here and it feels alright Baby can't you see me walking slowly down this lonely road Baby can't you hear me talking Bout when and where and how'd it go? but you been asking jealous questions and I got no secrets left to tell See how can you expect to love me when all you do is put me through hell. but i want you to know: Now yr here and it feels alright

Your Time 02:09
lyrics
The sun's sinking down, but I believe it'll rise on the other side The last time I saw you, or the last time you saw me it brought light to my eyes Sometimes I feel like I'm still around maybe none of us ever leaves, anyhow but it's your time now We left with words not taken back we both know we never were ones to confess what we lack there's no need to explain Sometime it feels like I'm still around maybe none of us ever leaves, anyhow The weeks are months, and the months are years so move on, cause it's your time now

Dragon Blues 03:59
lyrics
In California 'bout a bottle a day I can hear those footsteps From a mile away Shit, I said 'now please, don't break me tomorrow' next day, I'm saying, 'please don't wake me tomorrow' Ice in my veins, when you call my name... Knee deep in free weed never pay to play You better pay attention to every word i say Before i hear you saying, 'Please don't break me tomorrow' next day yr saying, 'Please don't wake me tomorrow' Ice in your veins, when you call my name... Honey, please You can do what ever you want cuz you know that yr by yourself Just like everyone else Oh, honey bee I love you, do whatever you want cuz you know that yr by yourself Just like everybody else

Ghost Witness 03:32
lyrics
with all you ghosts as witnesses we break this bread and bow our heads saving our souls every night the Spirit life is angel bound then you kneel down and kiss the ground begging for strength from above oh ancient wind come back again and blow our minds to another time when things did not seem so dead wrong when we did not feel so dead wrong the angels were singing their songs and we listened We're born again in innocence the fathers sins they wont return again we've cleared all those rocks from this road may have to walk great distances to find our home and rest these weary bones beneath that old tree in the garden when we have passed beyond this life through open space and endless night the silence as deep as the sea when we become one with the tree the songs will spring from you and me who will listen
