music, dear music
i’ve got a dirty little secret
you’ve got a dirty little secret
let’s see what trouble we can find
dear music, dear music
dear rock and roll blues
i’ll bring the bottle if you bring the beers
we’ll drink til nothing’s clear
and see what trouble we can find
dear music, dear music
dear soul and good country
i’ll bring the bag if you bring the papers
we’ll get silly on smoke and vapors
and see what trouble we can find

Winter Flowers

it’s gonna take some time to say i’m sorry
when my heart is saying tie a rope to the back of the bus
it’s gonna take some time to say i’m sorry when my canteen is lying
it’s lying shattered on the ground
i climbed to the top of the water tower
just to write your name next to mine and parch our thirst
had to climb back up and erase those words and get more water
when you stole my food and totally ditched me
i picked you some winter flowers i held them in my hands
i tried to teach you to make a bow
but you stole my wool blanket leaving me so cold

Wicked Bad Air

when i was a kid i used to sing to trees
and late at night was when they sing back
and when i was a kid i used to talk to my cats
and all day long they would speak back
but then i went to church and i went to school
and that’s where i learned
that trees and cats don’t talk
and that’s where i learned about the golden rule:
those with the gold they fucking rule and not in a good way
and now i’m having dreams about dams exploding
and now i’m having dreams about skyscrapers tumbling
and now i’m having dreams about salmon returning
and now i’m having dreams that civilization is ending
wicked bad air

Dragons Awoke

dragons awoke and took to the sky
spit fire and smoke and we cried:
are they our friends? or enemies?
dragons awoke
we thought them good as they burned zombies
but they littered the land with the bones of our beloved
dragons awoke
dragons awoke and took to the sky
we were in awe of their flight
we kissed the ground, we hid in caves
when dragons awoke
dragons awoke

i know it’s going to take awhile
four years and sixteen hundred miles
but when you say it like that it seems so far away
and long distance love is so cliche
but i can’t put my finger on it
but somehow my dreams came true
you’ll be flying in from omaha
i’ll be flying down to omaha
i’m just your average lonely man
perpetually a one-night-stand
but that night last new year’s eve
we kissed til 3 am
and now this broken heart is beginning to end
i can’t put my finger on it
but somehow my dreams came true
you’ll be flying in from omaha
i’ll be flying down to omaha
i can’t put my finger on it
but somehow my dreams came true
you’ll be flying in from omaha
i’ll be flying down to omaha

i was sorry to see drones over our skyline
i was sorry to hear nuclear bombs as they fell
through the roof where we once stood
i was sorry to feel the steel bridge as it fell
so sorry to see
so sorry to see

i was standing by the ocean on a cold and cloudy day
when i saw that hearse come rolling to carry my mother away
will the circle be unbroken? by and by y’all by and by
there’s no better home awaiting in the sky y’all in the sky
well, i told that undertaker : “undertaker, please drive slow. for that body you are hauling, oh, i hate to see it go.” will the circle be awoken? by and by y’all by and by there’s no better home awaiting in the sky no in the sky
i went home, y’all, home was lonesome
for my mother she was gone
all my brothers, sisters crying:
“what a home so sad and alone.”
will the circle be awoken? by and by y’all by and by there’s no heaven no home awaiting
in the sky no in the sky

Zombie Sibling Song

i was thinking of when i saw your face after all those years
in that alley out west
you poked your head above the dumpster
with a moldy loaf of bread and grinned ear to ear
as stenches surrounded us you took my hand and we ran all night
in the morning we were alive
we found a tree fort and built a fire
it turned into a funeral pyre for all our past grudges
we smoked two joints and drank a beer
ate rancid bacon the sky was clear
the stars came out and you said:
if we’re all dying i’m so fucking glad i got to see this world with you
