Just A Five 01:45
She said I was just a five Thought that I was higher, but her chart don't lie Guess I'll spend another day inside How long will it be before our worlds collide? Am I going mad or calming down? She says that it's love but never comes around She's holed up out there in that other town Shuts the cellar door and I can't hear a sound She said double five is ten What's the formula for when we meet again? Drive through the night past the state line Arrive here with the sun in the morning time But you might make me sick if you come here tonight Yeah you might Mallory, it's alright

Short Song 01:09
short song it's been so long haven't you no shame aren't you to blame for the years that we've gone so wrong hate and disdain is what's in a name or were you insane all along? i never dreamed it could get worse than going to war in the name of a whore pressure could cause anyone to burst if you're living in fear of damnation in hell from that long lost forgotten bible verse there's no denying this is weird who wears a mask and who is a beard the islands always taking the last stand kneeling on the naval of the promised land deplorables reaching out their hands short song it's been too long home of the brave jail of the slave land of the free short song

sail this vignette out in sea where the mermaids are even more sensitive than you and me tell them it was no mistake as we break through the wake past the never, major forever in sea you know the weight of the air ride out the tide of despair losing that weight as you wade past the breakers the horizon's in sea major there

I want to go where you don't know my name Away from here where you all look the same If I get lost it's my own self to blame New York City, I'm coming home Do you deserve to hold my only heart? I'm so unnerved you always start and stop You run so cold but now you're running hot Beneath the steep canyons we'll roam Because she always waits for me But it's not cheap to live so free From 1st and 1st to Thompson Street and South Across the bridge is where I had my doubts If I'm in love with you, they can never count me out New York City I'm coming home But she never waits for me I can feel her moving underneath my feet That unwashed train that took me home to you September sun you always told the truth Where else can I go to start anew? I'm coming home Steal away my skin and bones

Spring Thang 00:53

At the toll plaza they don't take my money, gonna lay my honey down At the courthouse the verdict is a virtual farce, gonna lay me on the ground When I was younger and full of wonder, gonna lay my money down Older turned'er into wooden soldiers, now my honey's not around Been alone, cashed out that loan What do you own when you can't take a chance? Found a stone to call my own, until the sea has it's final dance Maybe fear is gonna raise our children, gonna lay my honey down What they're marching for is what we're building, as the world keeps spinning round. It's worth the wait, it's heaven sent Residence of precendents You made it big baby, can't you see? Everyone's talking bout what you mean to me Wooden soldiers marching proud and tall we can rise and fall we can change
