Death of Rock 'n' Roll 04:09
lyrics
buy track
I saw the death of rock ‘n’ roll On my birthday this year The money’s all dried up And the limousines have all disappeared The lead singer’s livin’ off the Steady job his husband chose Guitar player’s got a second gig Writing jingles for some guy he knows This isn’t how we thought it’d turn out in school The rebels don’t always win I felt my spirit float away In an average song We got the sounds all right But the chorus was so wrong What happens when the thing that moved you all your life grows cold? What happens when you get a feeling it’s because you’re old? This isn’t how we thought it’d turn out in school The rebels don’t always win I had a drink I had a drink I had a drink I put a record on I had another Flipped it over Had another Put a record on I had a drink I had a drink I had a drink I put a record on I had another Flipped it over Had another Put a record on

Lifer 04:28
lyrics

Spinnin’ records and blowin’ smoke And my hair is a total joke Made some music and some good friends along the way So save your pity for my wife I’ve been a lifer all my life Save your charity for my daughter’s graduation day I was the life of the party I was the king of the scene I never left much on the table if you know what I mean And when the reaper comes a knockin’ I’ll get up and open the door I never ran from him and really couldn’t live much more Here’s some medicine to take You were old at 28 And you’re only as young as you can try to be So say a prayer for what you’re after And you’ll always have the laughter And if you miss your shot come hang with the guys and me I was the life of the party I was the king of the scene I never left much on the table if you know what I mean And when the reaper comes a knockin’ I’ll get up and open the door I never ran from him and really couldn’t live much more Don’t want to be a pop co-writer Don’t need mention in the liner Notes that stretch out the bottom of the screen My music never made much money And thing that’s kinda funny Is I think I really like it better that way I was the life of the party I was the king of the scene I never left much on the table if you know what I mean And when the reaper comes a knockin’ I’ll get up and open the door I never ran from him and really couldn’t live much more Can’t buy the things I have Those who gave em long have passed Those I’ll give em to have barely just been born You can call it helter skelter Or you can bury your head in shelter Cause the young ones will just burn it down anyway Hail, hail rock n’ roll Let Shaun William Ryder save my mortal soul Let Jennifer Herrema decide the streaming rates And let the biggest goon from Berghain man the gates Just let an MF DOOM imposter man the gates

Birdsong 03:33
lyrics
buy track
The things I used to care about They blew my mind They made me half insane Bogus competition, man My job was more important Than my name Got back to the music Back before they even banged skin with a bone Keeping my sound primitive Keeping it rosetta tone I’ve been schooling myself in birdsong I’ve been moving myself along I’ve been having big conversations Singing with my dog And making records with the possum in the yard Once I got back into it I dusted off the tools of my trade Threw out all my pedals, man I only need a little bit of gain Gotta keep it simple, man A couple chords A little turn of phrase 22 turned 45 I’m older but I’m still unsane UNSANE I’ve been schooling myself in birdsong I’ve been moving myself along I’ve been having big conversations Singing with my dog And making records with the possum in the yard Singing with my dog And making records with the possum in the yard

Warm souls We’re diggin round in Warm holes We’re sleepin four to a bed Some day we’ll all be dead In cold holes Wet flesh We don’t breathe the Same breaths Hold my neck in your beak Squeeze me hard till I can’t speak In deep depths Cool ghosts Mop feverish brows most Lead the sick by the hand To V.I.P. promised lands They’re great hosts Face to face Fang to fang Beast to beast And girl to man We can’t all fly But we all can learn to lay and die Face to face Fang to fang Beast to beast And girl to man We can’t all fly But we all can learn to lay and die Warm souls We’re diggin round in Warm holes We’re sleepin for to a bed Some day we’ll all be dead In cold holes Face to face Fang to fang Beast to beast And girl to man We can’t all fly But we all can learn to lay and die Face to face Fang to fang Beast to beast And girl to man We can’t all fly But we all can learn to lay and die

Cross Country Driver 05:14

Hey, cross country driver Won't you carry me back home? Piper on the Badlands Peter sittin' at the Skyway toll At the Skyway toll Won't take my soul Jacob, Johns and Gabriel and new apostle, Graeme Pass the wheel from man to man Twelve days, deep and long Inside the Northern zone They're coming home God save their tones Chase your vision outwards Won't you find me a new home? Watch the signs around you Pointing straight through desert storms To die is to be born Let me blow my horn Entity reunion We're all going to meet again Violent transportation Creation raise your head Won't you raise your head? We'll raise the dead Hey, cross country driver Won't you carry me back home? Piper on the Badlands Peter sittin at the Skyway toll At the Skyway toll At the Skyway toll Won't take my soul

Floating 03:02
lyrics
buy track
Have you ever danced And gone floating? Have you ever sung And got lifted? Back into the mists Back into dissolve No future No past No problems to be solved Have you ever kissed And just drifted? Have you ever swayed To the music? Back into the mists Back into dissolve No future No past No problems to be solved So please forget me Don’t memorialize I’m chilling here In this cool dark place And I’m having a great time Have you ever danced And gone floating?

Rake Flowers 03:37
lyrics

Faded to the west side of L.A. Lost a job I found a job My troubles burned away A bunch of uptight people fakin’ chill But if they irritate you man The palm trees never will It’s a whitewash of the mind Stare too long and you’ll go blind I used to kick dead leaves Now I rake flowers I’m workin’ as I’m soaking up these rays I should probably put a shirt on man It’s been a couple days The oceans on the breeze I know that smell The seasons just hit different here They never make you feel like hell But your lunch date will always flake And your waiter will make you wait I used to shake off snow Now I rake flowers I rake flowers I rake flowers I can scoot across town In only a couple hours I rake flowers I rake flowers I used to fight off thieves now I rake flowers Je me souviens Bonhomme Maintenant adieu La vida is so bella here My corazon is tuned To the petals falling down into my yard They pile up real quick these days But the cleanup isn’t hard Cause the jasmine’s in full bloom You’ll be comin’ out here soon Quit scrapin’ off your car and rake some flowers I rake flowers I rake flowers It’s a beautiful way to kill a couple hours I rake flowers I rake flowers I used to worry but now I just rake flowers I rake flowers I rake flowers I rake flowers I rake flowers I rake flowers I rake flowers I used to wring my hands now I rake flowers

Call On Me 04:35
lyrics

How are you gonna spend your days? They’re entirely up to you Your options are not infinite But you certainly got a few Call on me Sing me home Watch the river float away Call on me Sing me home Don’t be long Who’re gonna let rule your town? Who will set it to burn? Like the fuzz on a tennis ball spins Crazy world just takes a turn Call on me Sing me home Watch the river float away Call on me Sing me home Don’t be long Don’t be jealous of that everlasting life Screenburned sun stuck in the east Once consumed by the mouth of the sword You’ll find everlasting peace Call on me Sing me home Watch the river float away Call on me Sing me home Watch the river float away Call on me Sing me home Watch the river float away Call on me Sing me home Don’t belong

Death Is Certain 03:12
lyrics
buy track
Your deepest fear Late at night On a Tuesday afternoon When the feeling’s just not right No matter what you buy No matter what you use Death is certain And so are your blues So are your blues So are your blues You’ll fade away Right out of sight Soon to be forgotten No matter how you fight Brand new dress Brand new shoes Death is certain And so are your blues So are your blues So are your blues You struggle and your fight To reach the highest heights And when you reach the top The wind begins to bite So drain your drink Turn off the news Death is certain And so are your blues So are your blues So are your blues

My love Tend my tomb My love Tend my tomb May my last dying breath Be your sweetest perfume My love Tend my tomb My love Scatter my ashes My love Scatter my ashes Watch my life blow away In a million grey flashes Scatter my ashes My love Dance on my grave My love Dance on my grave Kick the headstone down Tap your toes on my name My love Dance on my grave My love Please don’t cry My love Please don’t cry I’m watching you now Through our daughter’s blue eyes My love Please don’t cry
