- a drinking song
Let’s all sing a song
A song along while we drink
A thinking song, a drinking song
For the ship we’re on sinks
Lo life is short and life is sad
So let’s carouse – we’ll pretend we’re glad
What so care we of some woe and hurt?
Girls let us come raise our skirts!
- Arrival, a Rival
In Texas, many places for a love to roam
Without a trace
So this is Texas, so this is ache
So this is Texas on your knees now don’t you break
Always knew I’d knew I’d roam
Slip out in the night, get my things and go
- Atheists Have Songs Too
Since my soul cannot be saved,
I guess ill go in to my grave,
And wake up in a world of flame,
And wake up in world of flame.
Fire and brimstone, thistle and thorn,
I never believed since the day I was born.
Come sit beside me under any old tree,
- Darwin's Little Darling
Sundew, the thing about you is:
You do what you do to live.
Change is slow out on the mire.
Where you can get caught up in the briar.
How you and I have seen some things.
We take and leave what we might need.
See, you've gotta hold truth to the light.
- Lonesome Place
They took me out to some lonesome place
They asked: "do you believe in the great white race?"
I said: "Mister, to tell you the truth,
I'd believe in anything if you if just turn me loose".
Turn, turn, turn me loose.
The white man said "boy, can it be-
You're standing there slandering me?"
- My Spirit Lives In Shadows
My Spirit Lives in Shadows
Midnight, midnight
It’s not right
What I do
Be untrue, I be untrue
To a love like you
It’s just what I do
- No Sir
You and I used to meet on the crowded street
High on absinthe and all distilled so sweet
Under a doorway lit by a single bulb
You asked me if I could give you my love
Sir I cannot give what I do not feel
So don’t ask and ask you wax me ill
Yet I should think there a girl who might take pity on you
- The Ruin and the Change
At long last the sorrow fades
At long last they've come to call
Come take our souls away
They ain't good to no one at all
My beautiful friend has a name
And sleeps underneath a stone engraved
I don't know why he gone away
