"Shooter's Hill"
~~~~~~
Like grains of gold in sand
Something that's just not so seen
Sign the cross my sister-of-mercy
So you now know where I've been
Shooter’s Hill
Fill the still
I am down
To be around
Such avenues, with their folkways, and their rituals, it’s not a game
Ride two hounds,
Road agents,
On the roll again
~~~~~~
Living, Loving‐ not a possibility
Great horror, mad terror‐ a start to the bad dream
So wrapping oneself in the threadbare flag
Is not dissimilar to the man lying there in drag
I am alone, but not lonely‐ searching for a sign
They have comfort, but ain’t comforted‐ as they bide their time
I, I'm, I am
~~~~~~
Seeing, believing- are not one and the same
Kesey and Camus- we're freaks on the same train
It's oh so quiet
I'll have you know noize is made- only by the people
He is gone, but not forgotten- as they took to pieces of sky
Changing seasons, but no change- my oh how they lie
I, I'm, I am
~~~~~~
Like a foxhound fed on fables
Something that just will not last
Till you find mysterious agency
In the song and dance of past
Shooter’s Hill
Fill the still
I am down
To be around
When the clock strikes 13, you will know what they mean
Ride two hounds,
Road agents,
On the roll again
~~~~~~
It's oh so quiet

"How can you be so Sure"

I saw the baby see the lights
and though she did not have the frights
She cried, "Mama, my ma oh i dont know what to do"
I saw the child walk on by
and though she may have had to cry
She declared, "Papa, my pa won't you help me see it through"
-----
When Im coming down
feel like no ones listening
And if they say they are
its towards the wind they're pissing
Oh, all ive got to do
is call on you
If I come around
in transport of rapture
You know'll i bring a frown
a smile is so hard to capture
So all ive got to do,
is look in your mirror babe and ill see me there too
--------
And as the grownup slept on by,
she finally felt the need to cry
She yelled, "Oh Lord, my Lord, wheres the point in what we do"
So now she's pushing up the daises
while her whole life was so lazy
I say people, my friends,
if I do not see you in the end
wont you help me see it through

"Burnt Sienna Brown"
Intro
Say what you say when you said it was maybe ( Repeat 3x)
Say what you say what you say (4x)
~~~~
Verse 1
I don't need it and I don't want it, but it'll sure feed the fight
When it comes down surely I'mma be 'round, Christ I sure love the night
Sailing sadly, got me going gladly- where the time falls like snow
Got me running so fast, am I even going last- how sweetly we'll let it go
~~~
Chorus 1 & 2
But the chorus left without me
And I remain on center stage
So now the starling states finally I see, you
I shoulda left that bird in its cage
~~~~~
Verse 2
Will I conceive it or will I believe it, where the truth is bought and sold
If I ever had a mission would the porter even listen, Lord it's gettin' cold
I dont see and hear it, but it sure blows my mind
If the hammer comes down you know the painter's goin' frown- dontcha know I feel like cryin
~~~~~~
Bridge
Burnt Sienna Brown
Further through the fields it takes you down
Oh boy, the portrait paints we were clowns that day
~~
Last Verse
Sailing sadly, got me going gladly- where the time falls like snow
Got me running so fast, am I even going last- how sweetly we'll let it go
I don't need it and I don't want it, but it'll sure feed the fight
If the hammer comes down you know the painter's goin' frown- dontcha know I feel like cryin
~~~
Outro
Whoa- Whoa- Whoa Oooh
Say what you say when you said it was maybe

"Station Talkin"
Intro
Verse 1-A
I saw my man in days of awe,
There was no rhyme or reason to his just cause
Verse 1-B
There's none of this comfort, that you seek through death,
I will lay you down, and bear witness: yer last breath
But the sound and the fury kept the strength in...
his bones, his bones, his bones, his boooones
~~~~~
Verse 2
You are an enemy of this earth
And I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you to ready for blood
Still the sound of my fury puts the rattle in
your bones, your bones, your bones, your boooones
~~~~~~
Verse 3
I talk to the station and what do I hear,
It says yonder stands the sinner, in this life no winners, but his end is drawing near
~~~~~
Outro
But the sound of the fury, Oooooh
Yes, the sound of my fury, Woo Hooo
The sound and the fury- ......Puts a rattle to
MY BONES, MY BMONES, MY BONES, MY BOOOONES (etc.)
