Banana Bag
Shine my shoes
Brush my hair
Brush my teeth
Pick out a suit
Pick out a tie
Pick out another tie
Pick out another tie
Shine my shoes
Brush my hair
Shine my shoes
Shine my shoes
Run downstairs
Everybody’s waiting for me
Run outside
Gotta catch a flight
Gotta catch a flight
Gotta catch a flight
Tonight

Chain Rainy Day
Night of freezing rain
Night of sparkling chains
Night of deadly jewels crunching ‘neath your heels
Beneath your heels
Deep inside your ice-bound heart
You know what it’s like to go too far
To go too far
To fall apart

I Remember Everything

I Remember Everything
Slipped in a room
Thousand plus volts
Spark to the brain
Memory jolts
You thought "lms were great
Hey I’m all alone
And I’m self contained
Just me me me, my old brain
Smells and feels#
Remembering
A soul to see
Not a soul to need
Need no food#
Just memory
Screens so dead
Light bulbs on
All in our rooms
All in the dark
I remember everything
Baseball game and a broken swing
A leap from a building
Second !oor
Save my soul my souls to keep
Bought it online
Pretty damn cheap
Remember it all
Remember last week
Remember the friends
That used to speak
(Yeah I remember it all, especially now)
Memories are waking dreams
And dreams are sleeping memories
And dreams are slipping memories
And dreams are steeped in memory
And dreams are seeping memories
Remember???
Here’s how it goes
What will it mean what will it say
When thoughts are sparked to life one day
Movies will play, they’ll play in our head
Like novels and banjos that play in our beds
I’ll play with yours and you’ll play mine
I’ll crawl in your past, you’ll laugh at mine
I’ll say yours is better than mine
The past is not past, we’ll laugh at time.

Ohio
I asked my love to go with me
To take a drive just a little way
And as we drove and drove and talked
Thankful we didn’t have to walk
We drove along till the road ran out
We stopped the car
And you began to shout
Down beside where the waters flow
By the banks of the Ohio
I was "fine I was even happy
Feeling fabulous and looking snappy
Then you had to go dig up all that muck
Stuff from long ago back in Ohio
I had a hammer had a spade
In the glove box I had a grenade
I had a tire iron I had a gun
I think I did pretty well using my tongue
I think I did pretty well using my tongue
Hey babe you know things change
This is where I drive away
There you stood where the waters flow
By the banks of the Ohio
There you stood where the waters flow
By the banks of the Ohio

Not Soon Enough
We bones, we roll, we break we bowl
We only know our own
We set the tone we throw the stones
No mercy do we show
We’re in your homes
We’re garden gnomes
We’re posing on the bedposts
We bones, we roll, we break we bowl
We only know the cold
Your immediate attention
Is not soon enough
2:30 yesterday is not soon enough
Still, we grow closer
Than we’ve ever been before
We snakes, we writhe
We slide we glide
We’ve beady little eyes
We have arrived we are inside
We’re sliding up your thigh
We snakes, we writhe
We slide we glide
We have all got inside
We have arrived we are inside
We’re sliding up your thigh
We have arrived we are inside
We’re sliding up your mind
Your immediate attention
Is not soon enough
2:30 yesterday is not soon enough
If you stop right now, well
That’s not soon enough
You walked out last Sunday
That was not soon enough
Still, we draw closer
Than we’ve ever been before
Still, that’s a long ways away
Still, that’s a long ways away
Your immediate attention
Is not soon enough
2:30 yesterday is not soon enough
If you stop right now
It’s not soon enough
You walked out last Sunday
But that was not soon enough
Your immediate attention
Is not soon enough
2:30 yesterday is not soon enough
If you stop right now
It’s not soon enough

When The Saints
And when the saints
And when they do
And when the saints
And you know who
Well, when they do
I want to be in that number
But don’t tell anyone I called
I want to be in that number
But don’t tell anyone I called
And when the sinners
No, not just the beginners
I want the true winners
Yeah, the sinners
Well if they do
Will you-know-who be there?
Will you-know-who be there?
Will you-know-who be there?
If he is please tell him I don’t care
Will you-know-who be there?
Well, if he is, don’t tell him that I asked
When the saints
And when they do
When all the saints come in
And they’re looking for you
They’re looking for you
They’re looking for you
I want to be in that number
But don’t tell anyone I called
I want to be in that number
But don’t tell anyone I called

Made on Earth
Made on earth
The stuff of life
Muscle and bone
Fire and strife
Made on earth
A god’s embrace
Electric touch
Flesh and grace
Don’t you see
Between the earth and the sky
I thought I heard you cry
Made on earth
Flesh and bone
A !ash of lace
A delicate face
Made on earth
Made of life
Fire and wind
A !icker of light
Don’t you see, don’t you see
Between the earth and the sky
I thought I heard you cry
I thought I heard you laughing

Life of a Lifetime
There ain’t no cane on the Brazos
They done turned it all to sap
My captain he been crying
It got so cold his face is cracked
Captain, you’ve been dying since 1999
Keep on shouting no one hears you
Ninety-nine years I’m jumping long
Been here rolling and I can’t go home
There ain’t no cane on the Brazos
They done turned it all to sap
My baby he been crying
It got so cold his face he crack
Wake up dead man and help me drive my car
Help me drive my car to the Border
Wake up dead man and help me !y my plane
Help me !y my plane across the border
Wake up dead man and help me drive my car
Help me drive this truck across the Border
You spent your life of a lifetime
You spent it holed up in your head
You might get a pardon
Then again you might drop dead

Power Off
Damn cold hot
Wires in a car lot
Tales on the evening news
Hold wheel still
Battle for the up hill
Frozen solid view
Power off
Bang for your landlord
Power off
Pray for your daughters
Power off
Trees to the slaughter
Power off
Ice coat
Glazed like a sprayed throat
Shining back on me
Snap branch
Fires made your face blanch
This night’s too long for me
Power off
Power off
Power off
Power off
HEY
Power off
Night shining through you
Power off
Moons shining through too
Power off
Tunes for the we two
Power off
Before the lights on
HEY!

We Get Nothing
We get nothing
Just like Robinson Crusoe
When Friday said,
“Monday, I’m gonna leave”
Oh yeah, Friday’s gonna leave
And when Monday comes
It’ll be a whole new shipwreck
It’ll be a whole new shipwreck
Ships sail by
Far away
Planes !y overhead
They never stop
Planes let people off
But elsewhere, never here
We get nothing
Planes f!y overhead
They never land
Ships sail slowly by
They never say why
Nobody ever gets off here
They never come see us
We get nothing

Last Train
The lady across the aisle from me is wearing long gloves
She spilled her coffee on my new blue jeans
The lady across the aisle from me is looking so sad
Not me, I’m glad I made it on the last train out
The lines were long and it took forever
But at last I’m in my seat
All aboard with all my stuff
On the last train out
The crowd was crowded
There was push and shoving
And we barely made it on
We barely made it but it’s alright now
We’re on the last train out
The lady across the aisle from me has got a cat box
I think it’s empty or the cat’s away
The cat’s away the mice do play
I busy myself counting sheep
The lady across the aisle from me is wearing long gloves
We made it on the last train
