Hannah Ray 03:49
lyrics

Well I saw you standin' there With those ribbons in your hair and what looked like a chopstick I only have one trick, to knock you off your feet A long walk is all that I need Hannah ray let me take the big books Hannah ray, it's gettin really dark Hannah Ray you had me beat at the first look I just want to talk and do my part Saw you standin there with a chopstick holdin up your hair You were a beautiful sight to behold Don't turn away baby I've been sold I think you're beautiful Come on baby don’t stand so far away I know it doesn't need to be this way What's right is right I've written all the lines Now we can be together for all time I'll take you away with me Teach you to stay with me It's my chance to say I think you're beautiful I find this beautiful Saw you standing there With a chopstick holding up your hair You’re a beautiful site to behold Oh Hannah Ray I think you’re beautiful On Hannah Ray I think we’re beautiful

Phaedra's Candle 03:23
lyrics

Start off with a yawn What else could go wrong When you find yourself a hopeless pawn Can search no more Candle light is alright I have nothing left to fight There’s nothing left to light the fire in your eyes So pretty little sore This yawn is yours These household chores, they are a bore Sign off at dawn When everyone is gone And write a new folk song in the sun Well sunlight is alright Savor it all through the night Then light, yeah light the fire in your eyes Candle flickers and lights no more

Fight This War 04:04
lyrics

We're punch drunk yeah we're delirious Been left outside for all the rust to eat Hands down you're a killer my dear For love is pride, I'll make one thing clear I come alone I come alone Through the bunker and out past the fence Downtown in a little trench we fight this war We fight this war There's one thing to say 10 paces and draw Let's fight this war There's one thing to say These shadows have run Let's fight this war I tripped over a line in the sand Looked down at the symbols at hand I remember when we had something free I come alone I come alone There's one thing to say 10 paces and draw Let's fight this war The last hands been played These shadows have run Let's fight this war Let's fight this war We fight this war Through the bunker and out past the fence Downtown in a little trench We fight this war We fight this war Let's end this war We fight this war

On A Roll 04:42
lyrics

When I'm in the fountain, alright When I'm in the mountains, I feel alright Give me the river Give me the streams You can keep your nasty city-life dreams I got my fishing pole Mothers, I'm on a roll for the country Take your smog And take your dog Move into a little hole in the wall The city life it's not quite right I can't quite breathe and I don't know why I ain't felt right And you'll find me It's where you'll find me City life Stairs in 15 flights Smog beating down your life You take me out to the country And give me the life I need I smell the pine trees in the summer And this incense bleeds You take me out to the country And give me the life I need I smell the pine trees in the summer And this incense bleeds I got my fishing pole Mothers, I'm on a roll for the country Take your smog And keep your dogs Move into a little hole in the wall The city life, it's not quite right I can't quite breathe and I don't know why

Mexico 03:42
lyrics
buy track
When was the last time You fed yourself on a bitter line All truth's on hold The aftertaste of the blind is bold All truth be told, I lost myself in the mirror Got a bottle of wine I'm headed down to Mexico Got a bottle of wine Well I'm headed down to Mexico Mexico Just cleared the past crimes Lost evidence on the lips of mimes Who dropped the dime? Sold me to Kronos at harvest time Me llamo es mar Espio Hyde in the mirror This is the last time That I will go, down to Mexico Down to Mexico

People of the Universe 02:57
lyrics

People of the universe I wanna be your friend If we make a way past the moon Maybe we'll see you then People of the universe Will you hear us out We know that you're not so far way Gotta see what you're all about You can't hide the other side We look to the planets with a daring eye Up in the sky, too bright to hide Time goes by at the speed of light People of the universe Nothing can hold us up Wanna get into your black hole face We want to dig that funky stuff People of the universe Do you feel spaced out? We hear the call cross the way Gonna help a brother out We will rise to the skies You can see us coming with your almond eyes You can't hide the other side Gonna rain down on the 4th of July People of the universe Our ship's outside your door We've got our guns and they're loaded up And we've come to settle scores People of the universe Did you feel left out? Well, let it be known that we've come to kill We're gonna turn this mother out

YCHIFT 05:17
lyrics

The flesh is weak, the lonely stay alone Come eternity, the soulful take a turn Turn it up Then lay me down, and fill my cup Send me off to play When I wake up What kind of day will it be? Come to me Come to me Will it run away from me Time runs away from me Day breaks and the night falls like a puddle of mud It makes a thud, and you can hear it from there When I spin you around Will you come back down? What still remains? You won't let em play You don't You won't let em play Don't, don't, you don't, you don't, you don't, you don't You don't let em play Set em up and I'll knock em down Leave em there on a rickety chair Where you sit there and contemplate I won't be, I can't be, I won't say No I won't say, And I can't wait I'm asking what it means I'm asking what you'd say But you won't speak And I can't take What you won't say For your own sake For your own sake You won't say And I can't take And you won't play And you don't say that you can't make For your own sake You won't say for your own sake what you can't make You don't say, you won't say Sit and contemplate

Signed 04:21
lyrics

I'm trippin' over my words What is left that you've never heard? Just sit back Give it up Jack Season of the pillow My hands upon the chillum my friends I'm sittin' in the corner with my mouth over grown It's gone, never comin' back, Said Jack, I'm never comin' back All you girls out on the streets of Paris I don't know none of your words I skipped those classes You can call it the culprit You can call it a treat I've got the goods to make you shake your feet The ancient Romans thought they could find All those gods that made the wine They wrote the Poetics to the ascetics It's a similar thing to what you would find Just before you go out on a limb But it's twisted metal that's on my mind We ain't been signed We ain't been signed So make up your mind We ain't been signed Fallin' behind the times Gettin' loftier with our rhymes We got twice the heart & shakers to start And the beats, they don't get better So don't show nothin' any better We ain't been signed

Alright, slap me out of site Alright, slap me out of site Now I'm with you and then I'm on my way I'm looking back on school days To get an occupation all we gotta do is pass I've had enough now of this save the best for last We're at a late hour, schools calling Where’ve the summers gone baby? I know I would if you could Alright now! Something silly must be happening here I'm not quite sure why i'm breaking in dear I thought I lived here but now I'm in the middle of your home Something crazy's going on in this little tomb we call home We're hanging out all night Looking at what's good in advice What are you talking about? We cried these tears out - hey now Looking back on school days
