This is Not the Country

Ain't no moon not worth chasing,
Ain't no reason why.
The cows have been overturned,
I said I would not cry.
Look at me in the face and
Tell me how you let me down.
This is not the country,
You can't act that way.
This is not the country,
You can't act that way.
Ain't no moon not worth chasing,
That's what I say.
The cows have been overturned,
I said I would not cry.
Look at me in the face or the car
And tell me why.
This is not the country,
You cant act that way.
I'm a stirrup and spur boy, I'm a cattleprod lasso little boy.

The Meridian (demo 1)

It's coming back, here it comes again.
I'm afriad of the meridian.
Send me a helping hand, my friend.
I'll do my best although I cannot pretend.
You can keep your self
I want to tell too often
(all this you already know well).
Thanks for paradise,
I think of you and often wish you well.
Its coming back, here it comes again.
Its hum lingers in my electromagnetic circadian.
She's a reincarnated Charlie Chaplin
and it's happening to me now.
But the clock has time and hasn't much too tell
To your sweet smiling face today.
Thanks for paradise. I think of you and often wish you well.

Carrot Phlegm
01:55
|
|

Haven't had any alcohol at all in awhile;
It dampers the dimples in my smile.
Feeling better for now, it's been a while
So I smoke and stare blankly at the mosaic kitchen tiles.
Now I'm walking down the street spitting carrot juice
And even my teeth are orange
So I drink carrot juice to stay in a good mood
No matter if it's of any good use.
I drink carrot juice, I drink the carrot juice
For a particularly not as hairy girlfriend-friendly half as scary
Figuratively on the prarie
Moreso it's a comparatively care-free kind of mood.
I drink the carrot juice.

Dreams in Ice
03:01

There's a place in your eyes
Where white snow falls
On the faces of those that aren't your own.
Your life is a wondrous fairytale and it's not that tall.
If you bend down to pick up the quarter on the ice of the pond
You just might fall
Into places only known
By skeletons and fish with frozen bones.
I heard you say 'expect bad weather, I'll be home drinking gin'.
It's just that kind of night tonight.
On the pond so slippery and worn
There are dreams preserved like the window in your favorite store.
The mannequin's holding all the fish bones.
It's only dreams,
It's only dreams,
It's only dreams in ice
and we'll find them.
It's only dreams in ice.

Thin Branches

There's a branch that you're hanging from.
The birds and bears won't catch you.
Keep your feet on the ground, keep your feet on the ground now.
Back in town they will never stop to help you out but
Don't let it bring you down.
Don't let it bring you down.
Don't let it bring you down.
