Herself 03:23
lyrics
buy track
she hears with her eyes feels her way through the stars with her head in the clouds she knows who you are she’s a timepiece of fate calling your name and I always think I’m to blame she gives no clues of sacrificial detail her beauty is your penance like blood inside the grail she has seven santos candles lighting the way and I forgot how to pray she runs like a deer with her feet by her side her only companions along for the ride the sound of her smile echos in the rain and I’m searching for her again she always remains on her own separate shelf she keeps all her refreshments strictly to herself if you ask for sip you’ll only get a wink and I’m always begging for a drink she never gives away a single crust of bread her own appetites are safe in her head they only satisfy her need for restraint and I’m just a prisoner of complaint she walks the fine line between security and doubt her desires remain imprisoned straining to get out her fortitude continues completly intact and I’m just a matter of fact

Insanity 03:33
lyrics
buy track
She’d never know I was alive unless I died in her arms And texted the news to her Blackberry She’d never hear my screaming heart if it was calling on the line Speed dialing her continually Oh insanity That’s what it must be What she does to me To me She’s tall enough to notice, pretty hard to miss Bright enough to see right through me Sharp as a knife her beauty cuts like an axe Swinging straight for the family tree She’d never recognize my name if it was written in the stars And I stole the dark from the night Send an instant message to her myspace page And signed it Emperor Dynamit

Closing Time 03:59
lyrics
buy track
Well it’s late and I’m drowning in the corner With a half-empty bottle in my hand Talking trash and making threats to linoleum Tee shirts torn and a mouth full of sand When midnight rolls around you’ll find me up town ‘Neath the glow of a Miller Highlife sign Right up until last call I’ll be arguing with the wall And counting the drinks ‘til closing time Since she’s gone I’m spending bottom dollars Seeing the world through the bottom of a glass It’s a grand tour of booze from A to Z Walking down lonely streets of my past Blurry faces glaring back from the mirror Behind bottles standing guard at the bar Rolling eyes and clinching teeth in celebration Like those pickled eggs they keep in a jar She’s not only gone she’s forgotten Every time I lift a glass and curse her name It’s good riddance to bad rubbish that’s for certain Another round and I’ll forget her again When midnight rolls around you’ll find me up town ‘Neath the glow of a Miller Highlife sign Right up until last call I’ll be arguing with the wall And counting the drinks til closing time Yeah I’ll be right here ‘til closing time

The Last To Know 06:17
lyrics
buy track
The walls get closer every morning Closing in ‘til I lay me down to sleep The stones collect the breath of angels Steel bars my soul to keep Everytime we’d come to town She was always hanging around At first it was a wink and a smile But that memory stayed with me for a while They told me long ago Time passes so slow And although love needs room to grow When lovers leave you’ll be the last to know Even though we courted off and on I could never seem to hold her for long But my need for her was to dear To let another man come near So I followed her footprints from town Leading through the snow on the ground I heard a moan in the barn Her flesh was melting in his arms A deep winters cold had chilled the land But not as cold as the blade in my hand Steam rose from the blood in her chest As I yanked my knife from her breast Now from my cell window I can see The short walk to my eternity A new scaffold for me to climb aboard And a hangman’s noose for my reward

Happiness 04:10
lyrics
buy track
Busy lives happy hands Current styles making plans Washing clothes and wearing skin Breathing out and breathing in Happiness waits for no one Comes and goes takes its time Somewhere between joy and sorrow Satisfaction draws a line Making friends paying rent Dinner dates money spent Eagles fly spirits soar Can we just have a little more Socrates and his mom TV dinners on the lawn Rituals in paradise It’s such a chore being nice Oh, you can’t hold a memory Without reflective history The remainder of a smile Only lingers for a while

Don't Ask The Wind 04:27
lyrics
buy track
(chorus) Don’t ask the wind to remember your name Don’t ask it when it’s coming back again Just let it go you’ll never hold it anyway Goes where it will with nothing to say Memories moving time All desires left behind But golden years slip away Into the arms of yesterday (chorus) Tomorrow’s face turns away With no advice for today But the howling wind whispers by Spreading lies across the sky (chorus) On it’s way to nowhere No need for joy or despair Only time and sheer force of will Restive dreams never standing still (chorus)

Beauty 04:27
lyrics
buy track
A beacon of beauty that’s what you are Shining from heaven my guiding star Light up my night time and all day through Til kingdom come I’ll be loving you You whisper my name so sweet in my ear Saying those things I long to hear Just tell me you love me like I know you do Through all this world’s troubles our love will stay true When you hold my hand I feel so at home And when I’m away I’m never alone With you by my side I’m 20 feet tall Walk with me darling til the master calls Dreams of perfection as good as can be Just like the love you give to me The face of an angel no man can deny I never worry or wonder why

Disappear 04:45
lyrics
buy track
the invisible man has hit the ground but no one saw him fall he’s taken his 99 bottles of beer and put them back on the wall his collection of stamps and postcards somehow remain intact although his friends and relatives want their birthday presents back he wasn’t always like this but somehow through the years he learned the art of transparency watch him disappear the invisible man bides his time waiting to reappear 14 journalists stand on guard watching his career reporting imaginary tales cause they can’t see him at all he knows they strain to catch a glimpse hoping that he’ll fall he’s coveting his collection of shiny silver stars attached to his collar along with all the scars from countless nights in service to the teaming mass of sinners and redeemers emptying their glass invisible to everyone are his own desires including his addiction of nearness to the fire burning with a passion consuming flames of light shining through his shadow as bright as any night

Bacon 02:30
lyrics
buy track
You can take him for a walk you can take him to the show You can take him anywhere he might wanna go Take him to the vet and bring him home again Bacon is a dog’s best friend You can feed him burger you can feed him spam You can feed him science diet made with chicken and lamb Purina dog chow again and again Bacon is a dog’s best friend Ask what he wants and he’ll only wag his tail Maybe bark out loud at the man that brings the mail Milkbones come and go but through thick and thin Bacon is a dog’s best friend Take a random survey at the Dog Town dance A fried chicken leg or a sniffing romance Dog of the Rings at the mansion again Bacon is a dog’s best friend
