1.Last Night It Snowed
Last night it snowed
Powdered sugar cedars lined the road
They looked good enough to eat
But i don't think i would
I can't imagine that they'd taste too good
A blanket white
At least it was when it came down last night
The morning brings the rain
The blanket's washed away
Now everything turns back to grey
And now you're there
The rain is falling, wetting down your hair
I hate to be the one to say i told you so
But i believe i might have told you so
So live and learn
The snow is melting, never to return
Cross your t's and dot your i's
And write 'the end,'
Maybe someday it'll snow again
Last night it snowed
2.Kung Fu Reference
Poor old john carradine
Before he met his maker
He got to play a part
That stands the test of time
Shouting he held aloft
The miracle elixir
The townspeople ran him off
And the sunlight took his eyes
If you ever gave a damn for sunny jim
I'm sure you must remember him
Fresh out of paper plates
Guess i'll do the dishes
Instead of washing off
Only one plate at a time
Big evening up ahead
Wide array of choices
Bladerunner, robocop,
Or the bride of frankenstein
If you ever gave a damn for sunny jim
I'm sure you must remember him
Dead soldiers line the road
Along the coffee table
Bladerunner's at the part
Where rutger hauer dies
I don't know anything
Why do i pretend to
If i did i'd be the one
Who's living with you now
If you ever gave a damn for sunny jim
I'm sure you must remember him
3.Donald Sutherland
When the moment finally comes
I could be the trigger
You could be the gun
That blows out the back
Of my skull
When a better day arrives
I could be the winner
You could be the prize
That i can't pretend to have won
Twilight is falling
The locusts are calling your name
When the devil's on the prowl
I can be the mortar
You can be the trowel
We could patch up
The cracks in our hearts
Twilight is falling
The locusts are calling your name
4.Back Dot
Black dot on the horizon
All i know is it's a pretty long walk
Keep a-goin pea, keep a-goin
Don't wait for me, just keep a-goin
Sunburn your skin is peeling
All i know is that it's pretty damned hot
Listen the dogs are barking
All i know is he's a pretty good dog
5.Dried Up
Hang dog you sitting and counting nameless stars
And when you look down you're beginning to fall away
You dried up like an august creekbed
I mounted in an album
With some photos of your summer friends
I can't tell what the note on the back said
You're moving like a poem
And it hurts to see you going
I recall the smell of summer on your skin
We were seventeen
And everything was pounding and it wouldn't stop
It's hard to put to words what i was thinking then
I don't know, we were alive or something
Browned off sitting amidst the endless cars
And when you stall out
They're beginning to pull away
You dried up like an august creekbed
I mounted in an album
With some photos of your summer friends
I can't tell what the note on the back said
You're moving like a poem
And it hurts to see you going
I remember licking ice cream off your chin
We were seventeen
And everything was pounding and it wouldn't stop
It's hard to put to words what i was thinking then
I don't know, we were in love or something
I recall the smell of summer on your skin
We were seventeen
And everything was pounding and it wouldn't stop
It's hard to put to words what i was thinking then
I don't know, we were alive or something
6.Only
I can be your supersize
You can be my only
Onion rings or curly fries
Quarter pounder skip the salad bar
Please don't kick my busted heart too far
I can be your oppenheim
You can be my only
Trying to think of words that rhyme
Find a notebook meet me at the car
Please don't kick my busted heart too far
I can be your soft machine
You could be my only
Cultivate obscurity
Save your tonsils in a mason jar
Please don't kick my busted heart too far
I can be your frankenstein
You could be my only
Tie me down with baler twine
Run your forked tongue along my scar
Please don't kick my busted heart too far
7.Fire In The Hole
We were burning leaded gasoline
Rather fight than switch
Found a stack of dirty magazines
Hidden in the ditch
Making fun of nearly everything
That lined up in our sights
I remember you used to come around
You came around, you'd come around
You came around, you came around
Fire in the hole
Pop the clutch and holler rabbits feet
Roll the windows down
Take a drink to find the strength you need
Then pass the bottle 'round
I remember we used to ride around
We rode around, we'd ride around
We rode around, we rode around
Fire in the hole
8.Baby
They removed the 81 per cent
What about the 19 they didn't get
She comes to give me something for the pain
Slaps my arm to help her find a vein
I love you, i love you
As my habit forms the morphine drips
Lean on over here and read my lips
The shot that burns before it numbs it all
Preceded by the smell of alcohol
I love you, i love you
As my habit forms the morphine drips
Lean on over here and read my lips
I love you, i love you
9.Calender Days
When hope is gone
We drag the pond
And try to look beyond
The dead end of summer
There's a haze hanging over the town
So hide your eyes
Ignore the flies
And try to act surprised
It's the dead end of summer
When all of the grass has gone brown
Oh, i've been x'ing out calendar days
There's a pattern to our time apart
Do i still exist
In the bottomless pit of your heart
Thrown or fell
It's hard to tell
The baby's in the well
At the dead end of summer
You better prime the divining rod
We'll drink unitl
We drink our fill
There's all this time to kill
At the dead end of summer
With the bugs singing louder than god
10.Baby In A Jar
Bless me jesus buddy i have sinned
Whatever does the trick
Odds are even that i'll fall again
So you better make it stick
What the psychic on the tv said
It kind of makes you think
I can tell you where your mood ring is
You left it on the sink
They were walking down crawdad creek
Found a baby in a jar
Tried their best to make it spring a leak
But they couldn't throw a rock 'at far
I don't remember where the blind girl was
When she foretold the quake
I couldn't tell you what a king snake does
Because i'm not a snake
Bless me jesus buddy i have sinned
11.Dollar A Day
Your brother got bird lice
From a feather he fixed with a bobby pin
That's a small price to pay
For the privilege of being the indian
He said i'll be your friend
If you give me a dollar a day
In the picture she posed
On the car hood in lipstick and underpants
The very same evening that she
Was crowned queen of the harvest dance
She said i'll make you king
If you give me a dollar a day
Lonesome sinner lonesome saint
Make me a winner or is it too late
In the bright light she looks
Like a girl you remember from summer camp
Who reached through your rib cage and
Tore out your heart with a postage stamp
She said i was your girl
When you gave me a dollar a day
12.Butterfly
Hey man you wanna be the pilot
Of a kamikaze aeroplane
Instead i bet you're gonna add it to
A list of things you never tried
You're a fifth wheel, a fourth class
Third string second rate kind of guy
And sometimes you feel like
A pot lick limp dick butterfly
Hey man you wanna jump a canyon
On a rocket powered motor bike
Instead i bet you're gonna add it
To a list of things you never tried
'coz you're a fifth wheel, a fourth class
Third string second rate kind of guy
And sometimes you feel like
A pot lick limp dick butterfly
Sometimes you feel like
A pot lick limp dick butterfly
Sometimes you feel like
A pot lick limp dick butterfly
Hey man you wanna be the pilot
Of a kamikaze aeroplane
Instead i bet you're gonna add it to
A list of things you never tried
You're a fifth wheel, a fourth class
Third string second rate kind of guy
And sometimes you feel like
A pot lick limp dick butterfly
Gimme gimme some love
Sometimes you feel like
A pot lick limp dick butterfly
Sometimes i feel like
A pot lick limp dick butterfly
13.Nothing Stars Today
I know damn well the weeds are growing
In the yard
I realize that it need mowing
But it's too hard
No matter what they say
Nothing starts today
Last week your cyber girl went missing
From her room
Befriending her's a lot like pissing
At the moon
You're drowning either way
But nothing starts today
I'd like to write about the color
Of her hair
But every time i try to find it
It isn't there
I'm always pressing play
But nothing starts today
You're drowning either way
But nothing starts today
No matter what they say
Nothing starts today
