DOGS OF PERFECTION
the killer is the only thing
that's in your heart
the wings are all in your teeth
my jaw is cash
look at me i am hollow
your step is in behind the night
it leans on my mind
the battle axe swings from your eyes
and into mine
look at me i am hollow
did you watch me from a far
how could you feel that i held heart
what ties us all is life
we never roll away
what ties us all is life
we never roll away
the only thing we ever had
came from our heart
everything is on my side
till i meet you cold
what ties us all is life
we never roll away
what ties us all is life
we never roll away.

READY TO DIE
well if it's true what they say about ya
you got me and i'm down for what ever now
if you dance like a Paris heart
i'll go and find the funk and i'll come right back.
oh girl i'm ready to die
fly like inside a tiger
you got me and i'm down for what ever now
when the wind comes tan i'll surprise you
i follow every moon way down off the track
oh girl i'm ready to die
i know the things that you do
it makes me hurt
i know the things that you say
it makes me
i know the things that you want to do to me
i know you think it's okay
you in high river style
the only way is blue on the borderline
when the stars come on high beam halo
the boys are coming in to enslave your brain
oh girl i'm ready to die.

BLACK FROG
if you know what you want
and you know what you need
but you say what they want
then be free
I'm going to tell it to them
see how it feels
and now your words are on wheels
they will just push you along
so what you're gonna kill it for me?
do you want to get by with us
do you want to get high with us
every night when we get home
we get drunk and we get stoned
the fight is never far away
you make it good
you may get saved
if you go it alone
their going to say that you're not
when they don't let you know its too much
you will end up working on it
know what you want
know what you need
but you say what they want
then be free
you gonna kill it for me?
do you wanna get by with us
do you want to get by with us
every night when we get home
we get drunk and we get stoned
the fight is never far away
you make it good
you may get saved
look at the sun
it sits there for me
but i just want to fire.

ONE SOCK
All the others
kiss my brother
on his head
i was wishing
i was kissing you instead
so i wanted summer
and i cut that rope
i went to the room
and i locked that door
she told me to loud knock
on her door
you know you're really one soul
she told my brothers
that i was trouble
and i was
i started thinking
i was sinking in my beer
so i reached for the light
but the light was low
so you know about your gun
but not from the floor
she told me to loud knock
on her door
you know you're really one soul

WINTER SUN
you don't lean back on anyone
you disappear but i don't mind
you're waiting for the winter sun to change
you hollow out and see the light
real freedom is hard to find
you're waiting for the winter sun to change
if i was the radio and you were truth
you know you couldn't trust me
i really couldn't trust in you
underneath the denim sky
you disappear but i'm just shy
you're waiting for the winter sun to change
you're lying by the river side
every lie goes with its tide
both waiting for the winter sun to change
i am the radio and i am the truth
you know you shouldn't trust me
i really wouldn't trust in you
i want to be the one
in the morning by the setting sun
waiting for the winter sun to change
if i was the radio and you were truth
you know you couldn't trust me
i really wouldn't trust in you

SPIDERS
there are spiders inside your neck
but you won't admit to it
there are crows up inside your head
but you won't understand or give a damn
well its getting late
but i will wait
there are crows up inside of your feet
but you won't admit to it
there are spiders in your hair
but you don't even care
who put them there
well its getting late but i will wait
on and on we roll like death in a can
comfort in silence love and violence
and its getting late
but i will wait
there is ink up inside of your brain
but it all looks the same
on and on we roll like death in a can
comfort in silence
love and violence
ink in your eyelids
crows and spiders

CANDYMAN SHIMMER
candyman shimmer
candyman turn
look at the sun
it's in a honey jar
we spin for the people

the highway is in my
blue over coat
blue turtle neck
pulled way above my blue eyes
we spin for the people
we spin for the people
oh oh yeah I shimmer
I shimmer oh x4
shimmer in the rain
the car is on fire
with evergreen ghosts
the dreams i had
when i hit the coast
we spin for the people
we spin for the people
candyman shimmer
candyman turn
look at the sun
it's in a honey jar
we spin for the people
we spin for the people
shimmer in the rain
we are heading into the stars tonight
it's alright
we are heading into the storm tonight
it's alright

MY BROTHER
my brother
he won't be home to father
he sold his dope on the streets of Rome
now that is where his ashes are blown
now my mother works in the fields alone
my father, he cried to the moon
i took my brothers book a bound
i put my brothers words to sound
every word it rang well
in the name of isabella estelle
i am alone on the moor
the arrows and bows
flow free through thy blood
he won't be home to father
he swung his axe through the fields of Rome
now that is where his ashes are blown.
