"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

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.)
