Backbone
03:29
|
|||
I’m a woman on a war path
Eyes open wide
Taking a first breath
Of a new life
I’m a woman on a warpath
Shouting at the clouds
And my whole damn body
Follows aloud
I won’t let you stop me or shout me down
I’m fueled by my own rage
And now I’ve found
I’ve got my backbone back
You stole it I took it back
I got my backbone back and I’m lifting up

Atmosphere

|

Float me into the atmosphere
and I’ll come back down with stardust veneer
like a firefly
Push me over the ship deck side
And I’ll cut right up through the salty tide glistening
Do you see me climbing higher
Wake up the sun below
Got another row to sow
Let the fire fill the whole
Swelling up from the depths of my soul
Fear not the burning pace
Nor the scalding in my face
Let the worry incinerate
Smolder out under each step I take
Push my face in the dirty ground
And I’ll come back up with a daisy crown smiling
Do you see me climbing higher
Wake up the sun below
Got another row to sow
Let the fire fill the whole
Swelling up from the depths of my soul
Fear not the burning pace
Nor the scalding in my face
Let the worry incinerate
Smolder out under each step I take

Poof

Poof now she’s gone like a riddle in a song
All the way to M.I.A. where she thinks that she belongs
Hey sister where you headed, suitcase in hand
Hair pinned back
Him in your head
Hey sister better watch out, danger ahead
If you don’t look at what you’re doing you’re gonna end up dead
Poof now she’s gone like a riddle in a song
All the way to M.I.A. where she thinks that she belongs
Hey sister better book your train ticket back
Hope your hat’s still hanging there
Hey sister better watch out
Tattoos and booze and men are more than temporary once you let them in
Poof now she’s gone like a riddle in a song
All the way to M.I.A. where she thinks that she belongs

Lady by the Lake
04:59
|
|||
In Alabama there’s a lady by the lake
Dressed in Weeping Willows and moss on her face
She screams in the light of the pouring rain
And in the bottom of the bayou she says
Come to me children come to me sweetly
Come to me ladies and hear my song
Pray for your men in the far away lands
The river is rising up
Here comes the rushing water
Here comes the rising sun
Here comes the roaring wind to bring you back home
Sun down some relief in the chill of the night your soul to keep cause
Sun up it’s time to go gotta move those bloody boots on down the road
Choking on the dust kicked up from below
Ahead in the distance the thunder rolls
Back home in the shanty lying in her sweat
Baby at her feet no breeze for her breast
Here comes the rushing water
Here comes the rising sun
Here comes the roaring wind to bring you back home
Way down in the bottom of the lake
Rising from the mud calm and steady face
Eyes softly shut, foam swirls around, wind picks up heaving from the ground
Her forehead breaks the water under Willow trees
Hair a striking silver, glow of erie green
She turns to the east and opens her eyes
A pale sort of gray now, hands to the sky
She’s pulling down the rain clouds, waving in the wind
All around the water rise to clean the sin
Mama’s still praying down on her knees
They’ll never hear it coming
Eyes will never see
Here comes the rushing water
Here comes the rising sun
Here comes the roaring wind to bring you back home

Cedar Rose among dead neighbors
Your beauty never asks for favors no
Escaping in your words your voice brings me to my knees
When you fell from the tree I’ll be
I’ll be the one to take you home
Cedar Rose you’re talking to me
I hear it all means everything to me
Escaping in your words your voice brings me to my knees
When you’re free from the tree I’ll be
I’ll be the one to take you home
Escaping in your words your voice brings me to my knees
Cedar Rose
Don't you ever let go

Rats and Eels
03:57
|

Walking out the door, I can’t recall when I felt golden
Trashing out my mind they sell a world unmarred emboldened
I’m the lucky one who’s never gonna change
Locking all the world out of my own sane
Rats in ears that talk a real good game but I’m not playing
And all the love I’ve made all faded now
I’m choking order
I’m the lucky one who’s never gonna, who’s never gonna change
I can feel the vile in your familiar face
I was wrong before but now I’ve got this place
Now I’m free
(Rats and Eels)
I hear, I see, I need, I feed, I love
I’m the lucky one who’s never gonna, never gonna change
Locking all the world out of my own sane
I was wrong before but now I’ve got this place
I’m finally free
Rats and Eels

Trust Me
02:27
|
|||
I wanna sink down slowly into your arms
Let me hold you close for warmth
Let us linger the way you always want
Instead of rushing out of here
I’m gonna let you talk me into it again
Let me love you in to it again
Trust me and take your word for what you said
And fall in
“Trust me” is what you said
“Trust me” is what you said
And I might do it, I might just because you said

Silent Roads
04:47
|

Tell your secrets to me
I will hold them in sleep
Under heavy sighing stars
Give your wishes to me
It won't cost you a thing
To hold them in my well
Find your way back home
Find your way back home
Find your way back home
Living on, Living on Silent Roads
Tell your hopes and dreams to me
I won't laugh honestly
I'll make them my hopes too
Give your kisses to me
I'll protect you in sleep
Under dark and stormy skies
Find your way back home
Find your way back home
Find your way back home
Circle around
Your head in the clouds
Keep on moving faster
Keep on flying higher
And I'll keep you right here
Find your way back home
Find your way back home
Find your way back home
Living on, Living on

Baby I came home last night
Worked all day doin’ it right
Hoping to get lovin’ through the door
But when I walked in you were gone
Left me with your dog alone
Just Jack and Johnny to keep me warm
‘Member all those good old times
When we used to play all night
Used to lock ourselves inside for days
Now you leave me for the bar and I can’t take it anymore
I can’t drink this whole damn bottle by myself
Baby I came home last night
Worked all day doin’ it right
Hoping to get lovin’ through the door
But when I walked in you were gone
Left me with your dog alone
Just Jack and Johnny to keep me warm
Oh, won’t you come back to me
I’m leavin’ out the key I’ll even leave you that sweet whiskey

Too Lazy
03:14
|
|||
I’ll never drive to your house
You can cook me dinner anytime I’ll keep my feet up the whole time
Though you live like five minutes away
my place is just so comfy I’ll stay
and I got Netflix on
I’m too lazy
I’m too lazy
I’m too lazy to love you
Don’t wanna go to your mom’s latest affair
I couldn’t be bothered to wash my hair
It’s only been, oh, five or six whole days
And, this old dress will do
Guess I don’t care as much as you do
Clearly
I’m too lazy
I’m too lazy
I’m too lazy to love you

Fingers down the fretboard
Writhing up the neck
Shivers down my backbone then coming up again
The way you play
Has got me in a daze
And I wish that you were playing me in the same way
And I know that I’ll be coming soon, I’m coming soon
And I know that you’d be coming too, you’d be coming too
Softly swaying up there
Sweat trickles through your hair
Throw your head back with abandon
Don’t care who’s there
And I can’t stop staring
Except to close my eyes
Bite my lip, throw my head sideways, and sigh
And I know that I’ll be coming soon, I’m coming soon
And I know that you’d be coming too, you’d be coming too
Fingers down the fretboard
Writhing up the neck
Shivers down my backbone then coming up again

Toast
04:11
|

I can’t get you out of my head
Making up silly things you never said
Just to make me see red
So I wouldn’t want to stay
Saw a sign on a church, it said
Forbidden fruit makes many jams
Well, I like jam on my toast
I want jam in the morning
I want you in the morning
I can’t get you out of my head
Making up silly things you never said
Just to make me see red
So I wouldn’t want to stay
Oh, I just wanna stay
Please just let me stay
