BLACK CADILLACS
And it's true we named our children after towns that we've never been to.  
And it's true that the clouds just hung around 
like Black Cadillacs outside a  funeral. 
And we're done, done, done with all the fuck, fuck, fuckin' around. 
You were so true to yourself. 
You were true to no one n' that's why I should  put you in the ground. 
I've got the time, I got the hours, I got the days, I got  the weeks. 
I could say to myself I've got the words but I can't speak. 
Well, I was done, done, done with all the circ, circ, circlin' round. 
I didn't  die and I ain't complainin'. 
I ain't blamin' you. 
I didn't know that the words you said to me meant more to me 
than they ever could you? 
I didn't lie and I ain't sayin' I told the whole truth. 
I didn't know that this game we were  playin' even had a set of rules. 
We named our children after towns that  we've never been to. 
And it's true that the clouds just hung around 
like Black Cadillacs outside a funeral. 
And we were laughing at the stars while our feet clung tight to the ground. 
So pleased with ourselves for using so many verbs and nouns. 
But we were all still just dumb, dumb, 
dumber than the dirt, dirt, dirt on the ground. 
Well wings on flames, kings with no names, 
well this place just ain't got right air right now. 
You were so all over town but still so Crayola brown. 
Well you should run 'round yourself right now. 
And we were done,  done, done with all the fuck, fuck, fuckin' around. 
Circlin' round 


BLAME IT ON THE TETONS
Blame it on the Tetons. Yeah, I need a scapegoat now. 
No my dog won't  bite you, though it had the right to.
You oughta give her credit cuz she knows I would've let it happen. 
Blame it on the weekends. God, I need a cola  now. 
Oh we mumble loudly, wear our shame so proudly. 
Wore our blank  expressions, trying to look interesting. 
Blame it all on me cuz God I need a  cold one now. 
All them eager actors gladly taking credit for the lines 
created by people tucked away from sight is just a window 
from the room we're bound to. 
If you find a way out, oh would you just let me know how? 
Would you just let me know how? 
Blame it on the web but the spider's your problem now.  
Language is for liquid that we're all dissolved in. 
Great for solving problems,  after it creates a problem. 
Blame it on the Tetons. God, I need a scapegoat now.  
Everyone's a building burning with no one to put the fire out. 
Standing at the  window looking out, waiting for time to burn us down. Everyone's an ocean  drowning with no on really to show how. 
They might get a little better air if they turned themselves into a cloud. 


BUKOWSKI
Woke up this morning, it seemed to me
that every night turns out to be
a little bit more like bukowski
and yeah, i know he's a pretty good read but
god who'd want to be
god who'd want to be such an asshole
god who'd want to be
god who'd want to be such an asshole

so tell me now why, you'll tell me never
who would want to be
who would want to be such a control freak
well who would want to be
who would want to be such a control freak
well see what you want to see
you should see it all
well take what you want from me
you deserve it all
nine times out of ten
our hearts just get dissolved
well i want a better place
or just a better way to fall
but one time out of ten
everything is perfect for us all
well i want a better place
or just a better way to fall
here we go
if god controls the land and disease
and keeps a watchful eye on me
if he's really so damn mighty
well my problem is i can't see
well who would want to be
who would want to be such a control freak
well who would want to be
who would want to be such a control freak
evil home stereo

a little bit more like bukowski
and yeah, i know he's a pretty good read
but god who'd want to be
god who'd want to be such an asshole

THE DEVIL'S WORK DAY
All those people that you know. 
All those people that you know. 
All those  people that you know, floatin' in the river are logs. 
I could buy myself a  reason. I could sell myself a job. 
I could hang myself on treason. All the folks I know are gone. 
All the people that you know. All the people that you know.  
All the people that you know, floatin' in the river are logs. 
So I ate  the wedding cake 'til the whole damn thing was gone. 
And I'm gonna drown the  ocean. Now ain't none o' that so wrong? 
All the people that you know. All  those people that you know. 
All those people that you know, floatin' in the  river are gone. 
Gonna take this sack of puppies. Gonna set it out to  freeze. 
Gonna climb around on all fours 'til all the blood falls out my knees. 
All the people that you know. All the people that you know. 
All those people  that you know, floatin' in the river are logs. 
Well let's take this potted  plant to the woods and set it free.

I could buy myself a reason. I could sell myself a job. 
I could  hang myself on treason. 
For I am my own damn god! HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA,  HA

It was worth it just to learn some sleight of hand 
Bad news comes don't you worry even when it lands 
Good news will work its way to all them plans 
We both got fired on sadly the same day, that we were going to quit it anyways 
And wešll all float on OK. 
And we'll all float on OK

Alright already, wešll all float on alright. 
Donšt you worry, wešll all float on. 
Wešll all float on. 


THE GOOD TIMES ARE KILLING ME
The good times are killing me. Here we go!
Got dirt, got air, got water and I know you can carry on. 
Shrug off  shortsighted false excitement and oh what can I say? 
Have one, have twenty  more "one mores" and oh it does not relent. 
The good times are killing  me. 
Kick butt buzz-cut dickheads who didn't like what I said. 
The  good times are killing me. 
Jaws clenching tight we talked all night, oh but what  the hell did we say? 
The good times are killing me. 
Fed up with all that LSD. 
Need more sleep than coke or methamphetamines. 
Late nights with warm,  warm whiskey. 
I guess the good times they were all just killing me. 
Got dirt, got air, got water and I know you can carry on. 
The good  times are killing me. 
Enough hair of the dog to make myself an entire rug. 
The good times are killing me. 
Have one, have twenty more "one mores"  and oh it does not relent. 
The good times are killing me. 
Shit-kicker  city slickers who all wanted me dead. 
The good times are killing me. 
Get  sucked in and stuck in late nights with more folks that I don't know. 
The good times are killing me. 
The good times are killing me. 


BURY ME WITH IT
We were shooting at a mountain of dirt
Well nothing was broken and nothing was hurt
But i probably really should have been at work
But in my free times gone would you promise me this
That you will
Please bury me with it 
Please bury me with it
Well sure as planets come I know that they end
And if I'm here when that happens just promise me this my friend just
Please bury me with it
I just don't need none of that Mad Max bullshit
Well the suit got tight and split at the seams
But i kept it out of habit and I kept it real clean
But if its gettin faded if its running out of thread
Could you do this for me my friend
And please just 
Please bury me with it
Please bury me with it
Well we moved to the left and we moved to the right
And sure as hell we stayed out almost every single night
But if the party's over if the fun has to end
Could you do this for me my friend
Would you just
Please bury me with it
Please bury me with it
Good news for people who love bad news
We've lost the plot and we just can't choose
We are hummingbirds who are just not willing to move
and there's good news for people who love bad news
We are hummingbirds who lost the plot and we will not move
We have good news for anyone who loves bad news
We were aiming at the moon we were shooting at the stars
But the kids were just shooting at the buses and cars
So don't drink the water, don't you breathe the air
And if it's going back home then I just have to declare
That you can
Please bury me with it
Please bury me with it
Well as they come and as they go
And god i love the rock and roll
Well the point was fast but it was too blunt to miss
Life handed us a paycheck and we said "we worked harder than this"
Please bury me with it
Please bury me with it
We are hummingbirds who are just not willing to move
and there's good news for people who love bad news
We are hummingbirds who lost the plot and we will not move
We have good news for anyone who loves bad news

Just heading back out again 
And Go Off sinkin'

Didn't mean to laugh 
Didn't know i had 
Didn't know  the better part of what you said 'cause

SATIN IN A COFFIN
You were laying on the carpet just 
like your satin in a coffin. 
You  said do you belive what your saying? 
Yeah right now, but not that  often. 
Are you dead or are you sleeping? x3 
God I sure hope you are  dead. 
Well you dissapeared so often, 
like you dissolved into  coffee. 
Are you here right now? 
Or are you there possibly fossils under  your meat? 
Are you dead or are you sleeping? x3 
God i sure hope you  are dead. 
Now the blows been softened, 
since the air we breath's our  coffin. 
Well now the blows been softened, 
since the ocean is our  coffin. 
Time to know all laughter 
is your coffin ever after. 
You know  now the blows been softened, 
since the world is our coffin. 
Now the blows  been softened 
since we are our own damn coffin. 
Everyone's talking about  their short lists, 
and everyone's talking about death 
You were laying  on the carpet 
just like your satin in a coffin. 
You said do you belive  what your saying? 
Yeah right now, but not that often. 
Are you dead  or are you sleeping? x3 
God i sure hope you are dead. 


THE VIEW
your gun went off

and yeah i hope it put plenty on you
well i hope mine did too 
as life gets longer awful feels softer
well it feels pretty soft to me
and if it takes shit to make bliss
then i feel pretty blissfully
your gun went off

shouts from both sides
"well we've got the land but they've got the view"
well now here's the clue

as life gets longer awful feels softer
well it feels pretty soft to me
and if it takes shit to make bliss
well i feel pretty blissfully
for every invention made
how much time did we save
we're not much farther than we were in the cave
as life gets longer awful feels softer
and it feels pretty soft to me
and if it takes shit to make bliss
well i feel pretty blissfully
if life's not beautiful without the pain 
well i'd just rather never ever even see beauty again
well as life gets longer awful feels softer
and it feels pretty soft to me

and if it takes shit to make bliss
well i feel pretty blissfully

we are fixed right where we stand

 
WORLD AT LARGE
Ice age, heat wave, can't complain
If the world's at large why should i remain
Walked away to another plan
Gonna find another place, maybe one i can stand
i move on to another day
to a whole new town with a whole new way
went to the porch to have a thought
got to the door, and again i couldn't stop
you don't know where and you don't know when
but you've still got your words and you've got your friends
walk along to another day
work a little harder, work another way
well uh-uh, baby, i ain't got no plan
well i'll float on, maybe would you understand
gonna float on, maybe would you understand
well i'll float on, maybe would you understand
the days get shorter and the nights get cold
i like the autumn but this place is getting old
i pack up my belongings and i head for the coast
it might not be a lot but i feel like i'm making the most
the days get longer and the nights smell green
i guess it's not surprising but it's spring and i should leave
i like songs about drifters, books about the same
they both seem to make me feel a little less insane
walked on off to another spot
i still haven't gotten anywhere that i want
did i want love, did i need to know
why does it always feel like i'm caught in an undertow
the moths beat themselves to death against the lights
adding their breeze to the summer nights
outside, water like air was great
i didn't know what i had that day
walk a little farther to another plan
you said that you did but you didn't understand
i know that starting over is not what life's about
but my thoughts were so loud i couldn't hear my mouth
my thoughts were so loud i couldn't hear my mouth
my thoughts were so loud
I know that starting over's not what life's about
But my thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth
My thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth
My thoughts were so loud
