Okemah And The Melody Of Riot

Son Volt Okemah And The Melody Of Riot Lyrics
1.Who

A mobile means to make the time
A whirlwind half mast the senses

Shaking your own brand of rhyme
Shaking your own brand of rhyme

On wide avenues the air moves the sound
Cruising around

Who makes the minutes move
The postmeridian new

Who
Who else but you

With gypsy scarf and an old world mouth
A mojo hand brought up from the south

Shaking in your own brand of rhyme
Shaking in your own brand of rhyme

On wide avenues the air moves the sound
Cruising around

Who makes the minutes move
The postmeridian new

Eye level with Goliath's shoes
Spitting out these well worn blues
Eye level with Goliath's shoes
Spitting out these well worn blues


2.Medication

Songwriters:Farrar, Jay

Living on medication
Don't wanna know what I've done
Place to place, on the run
Living on medication

Living on medication
Wanted to slow the world down

Make a break concentrate on
Different solution
Realization waves of the soon to learn
Walking oil spill

Living on medication
Nothing can stop us now
Headed for the stratosphere
Living on medication

Destination set, engines on
Drop a to un jetstream

Make a break concentrate on
Different solution
Realization waves of the soon to learn
Pollution restitution


3.Ipecac

Songwriters:Farrar, Jay

Happy hair with fashion eye
Climbed up the Ivory Tower
Just forgot what the game was for
Just forgot what the game was for

Sing the streets of silence
Have to fight the way
From the bone cook up the morning glue
From the bone cook up the morning glue

Find a way to make it work
Leave old bags behind
This ride is a scream
Happy hour turns hearts to dust

Watch out for love like Ipecac
A strange brew we're looking at
Watch out for love like Ipecac

Great buildings of majesty
Made by the rat race whore
Backed by the graves of the laborer's toil
Backed by the graves of the laborer's toil
