Hate & Greed 03:45
lyrics
buy track
Bathed in a stream On a mountain of greed Lies a man Shaking, to his knees If we are here by some great chance Damn we're lucky, for song and dance If there's really no one above Who should I thank for giving me love? If this planet has all that we need Why do we grace it with hate & greed? Hate and greed Bathed in a cove In a river of love Stands a man Singing, now I'm free If we are here by some great chance Damn we are lucky, for song and dance If there's really no one above Who should I thank for giving me love? If this planet has all that we need Why do we grace it with hate & greed? Hate and greed

Cast A Spell 04:22
lyrics

I cast a spell on you girl They gonna burn us at the stake You cast a spell on me girl They gonna burn us at the stake, burn us at the stake They think I am a sorcerer They think you are a witch They don’t know this could heal us No they will not listen I see them gathering up wood now I see them gathering round the pit I cast a spell on you girl They gonna burn us at the stake You cast a spell on me girl They gonna burn us at the stake, burn us at the stake Well we better run away now Better fade into the night Cuz in a few short moments They’ll deface our whole lives They’ll cast us as heretics For putting our love before them I cast a spell on you boy They gonna burn us at the stake You cast a spell on me boy They gonna burn us at the stake, burn us at the stake OoooOoooooh

Foreign Town 03:25
lyrics
buy track
I couldn’t wait to feel your warmth Winter without you was a little harsh We shouldn’t ever be this far apart We haven’t been perfect, but you got my heart I was flying high when the wheels touched down Hadn’t seen her face in so damn long Had to catch a train just to get around To see my love in a foreign town Foreign Town Mama I ain’t coming home After sitting in the street for an hour or two She came to me looking all cute I was so relieved ‘til she changed her tune Where’s my lady she don’t talk like you? Foreign Town Mama I am far from home On day one of this paradise Said she wanted to run solo for some time After I crossed over oceans for her eyes I don’t think it even crossed her mind Foreign Town Mama I don’t know where to run Why’d I fly on over for you to blow me up? (2x) Oh can’t you tell me my sweet love? Foreign town I guess it just got lost along the way

Who Else Do You Got Kid? 04:40
lyrics
buy track
Oh love there’s a lyric in, my heart that goes like this The groundhog doesn’t see his shadow, and I don’t see mine Won’t look behind me, cuz now I’m blind If I keep walking, then I’m still alive Even if I’m rolling blind, through the cold winter night And if I fall into a pit of snakes, Lord knows I probably will Won’t expect to see your hand waiting on, top of a flowery hill So you might as well be the best that you can, Cuz who else do you got now kid? Cuz who else do you got now kid? And oh love there’s a lyric in, my head that goes like this The worker ant will carry his weight, and I will carry mine We could carry more for long long days, not for all of time There will come a day when we lighten the load, we will roll on home The welcome we’ll receive will be, greater than any gold But for now it will be, a fantasy left untold And I will be a lonesome maverick, cutting through this goddamn cold So you might as well be the best that you can, Cuz who else do you got now kid? Cuz who else do you got now kid? Who else do you got now, kid?

Smoke A Joint 04:30
lyrics

I don’t want to forget this, but I do right now I don’t want forget you, but I do right now For the love of God, can’t we all just smoke a joint? Pretend like today didn’t happen for the night Cuz I’m too damn tired of this way of life With the blind leading blind away from the sky Gonna save those deep thoughts for some other time Cuz I’m a twisted up slinky looking to unwind (Waiting to unwind) I could live without you, but not right now I’ll be fine without you, but not right now For the love of God, can’t we all just smoke a joint? Pretend like today didn’t happen for the night Cuz I’m too damn tired of this way of life With the blind leading blind away from the sky Gonna save those deep thoughts for some other time Cuz I’m a twisted up slinky looking to unwind (Cuz I’m a twisted up slinky waiting to unwind)

Fergus Falls 02:32
lyrics
buy track
The blood of my brothers, the scent of a lover A big fucking otter, and the care of my mother Something tells me I am home The ignorant man doesn’t wash his dirty hands But you better be a fan, cuz gossip rules the land Oh something, tells me I am home Home, something tells me I am home The sleep in my eyes, seems now to imply I’ve been sleeping alright, but they’re always telling lies Burning a hole in the ceiling to escape that funny feeling To crawl through with my mind I could go anywhere with it, if you weren’t like secretariat Running on it like you got it, But there’s no pretty bouquet, easy way, or finish line on this That’s the thing about this place Open up the gates to a familiar face Sometimes you can’t escape, but you see… This could be a resting place for a restless mind Cuz the sky sure does shine on the prairie at night I can’t hate too much, this is where I learned to love I can’t relate too much, but this is where I’m from If you’ve got to be from somewhere, It might as well be the middle of nowhere The blood of my brothers, the scent of a lover A big fucking otter, and the care of my mother Something, tells me I am home The ignorant man doesn’t wash his dirty hands But you better be a fan, cuz gossip rules the land Oh something, tells me I am home Home, something tells me I am home Oh something, tells me I am home

Strawberry Farmer 03:16

Took a walk through mystical trees We were feeling alright Had on your strawberry hat Hell, we danced all night Hidden in the crowd Under shadows of moonlight Take that trail your feet don’t touch Hell, I’ll be there tonight Do whatever you gotta do, to find me Ooh, you better saddle up girl This train is running There’s still room for you though Take that trail your feet don’t touch Hell, I could see you tonight

Euphoric Swim 03:53
lyrics
buy track
I need something real, as full of wonder As poignant as the sky Well you think it’s a fantasy Have you even looked up at night? Lets all go for a swim, before this ship sinks in And we’re left floating, in shit up to our chins Shh, don’t you tell anyone Shh, don’t you tell anyone Been staring at the sun Looking for someone Burning my eyes Stumbling through the night But you think it’s a lie I’m willing to wager it all I’d roll it on my life Roll it on my life

Papa, I Seen A Ghost 03:31
lyrics

When I was a young young lad I had me ooh quite a scare I said papa I swear I seen a ghost out there Tell me I ain’t insane She appeared from the freeze Talked like she knew me Tell me I ain’t crazy Papa glanced and he laughed at me Said I been there once or twice before Don’t you worry son You’ll be just fine She’s a part of your memory Before you know it She’ll be gone with the freeze But, with tricks still up her sleeve She might find a way to sneak into your dreams Don’t you worry son You’ll be fine When I was around 21 I had me ooh quite a scare I said papa I swear I seen a ghost out there Tell me I ain’t insane She appeared from the freeze Talked like she knew me Tell me I ain’t crazy Papa coughed and he laughed at me Said I been there once or twice before She don’t mean no harm You just miss her arm Clinging to her good luck charm There’s plenty of fish in the sea And you’ve been blessed with your daddy’s genes And I don’t know much, but I know one thing Don’t you worry son You’ll be fine

Bum Bum Badda Dun 04:31
lyrics

When you woke up this morning Put on your flowery dress Headed out the door To give the rest of the world, a test You’re so, Bum bum badda dun, badda dun Well the world did smile Her broken smelly teeth And you danced all the while To your own crazy, funky little beat You’re so, Bum bum badda dun, badda dun When you woke up this morning You planted a beanstalk To see how high You could climb, today You’re so, Bum bum badda dun, badda dun Well, the world reared his ugly head So you laughed at his expense Been a lazy kid for a little while But you're far, far, far from dead You’re so, Bum bum badda dun, badda dun

Her mama asked her to fetch a pail of water Said he’s acting like a sailor, you shouldn’t be around your father Go run along, and play among the daffodil hills Where the air is light, and tears from the heavens spill Among the daffodil hills Among the daffodil hills

Goof Troop's Wedding 02:34
lyrics

I've been searching now for awhile Traveling on some dark miles Waiting on your old smile To take your hand now, down the aisle To hold you down Don't you worry through the night I'll be lying there by your side And I'll always have your back But, I'll never hold you back I will hold you down Small town kids now on a mission Can't you hear this young heart singing? Full of love, come have a listen Can't you hear the church bells ringing? Going.. I will hold you down, won't you hold me down? I will hold you down, won't you hold me down? I will hold you down

No Time For Sleep 03:57
lyrics
buy track
Hibernating inside to avoid the cold With a cup full of drink, and a pipe full of smoke Always been a dreamer, imagine growing old With a dame on your arm, youth under your coat And a little bit of love Sailing your boat This ain’t no time to go to sleep You still got some life in your feet This ain’t no time to rely on your dreams You still got love blowing in the breeze Growing in the trees, frozen in the freeze Thawing out for the hungry summer bees This ain’t no time, to go to sleep Seem to be colored in a shade of blue Crashing nightly before the evening news Bitter not better, and it’s wearing on you Rather just float on, escape with a snooze To the nest you had built Before, that old bird flew This ain’t no time to go to sleep You still got some life in your feet This ain’t no time to rely on your dreams You still got love blowing in the breeze Growing in the trees, Frozen in the freeze, Thawing out for the hungry summer bees This ain’t no time. to go to sleep This ain't no time, to go to sleep
