First and 10, do it again.
B-E positive.
Montana to rice and everything nice
and everything's right.
First and 10, do it cardigan.
Faux-paux fall collection.
I'm a Goodwill find in February
you're still wearing, you're still wearing.
It's about time, all time.

Carillon Belles

Lois and lovers lane
oh, the glory of it all.
Honey and full moon
Oh, the love I have for you.
Needy me needs you,
Carillon belles.
Everyday a thankful parade
keeping me traditional.
Everyday of my life
a sailor’s wife.

Grace Killey

Keep it simple,
scrambled eggs and toast for two.
One and one my heart beats for you.
You're Grace Kelly killin’ it tonight
and I can't stop Fred-a-staring at you.

Choo-Choo-Choose You

I'm pro-life choices
I choo-choo-choose you.
Perfection asleep, work waits,
I breathe you in.
Every morning I pray the car won't start.

Christmas Tree
01:59
|

|
Finally killed Christmas Eve.
My heart’s on fire like a Christmas tree.
If you're afraid you shouldn't be.
Coffee stained like lipstick collars.
Our green book is filling up.
Donut days on every page.
Skull and crossbones arm.
I knew right from the start
anything that's real is real easy.
Stuffy nose Saturday
changing sides to stay as you say cozy
Superhero museum, treasure island, bookshelf lonely.
Singing miss me, yeah miss me.

Cusack
03:15
|

|
Restless stomach, idle hands
Only one thing can fix these things.
The sky is blue, the bluest blue reflecting off you
Pale perfect skin, a hiccup now and then.
Only one thing that I need.
All at once John Cusack seemed a bit more normal.
You're #1 through #5 on my Top Five.
All at once you and me seemed a little bit crazy,
that's bliss defined.

For Awesome
02:14
|

|
Starting this song sandpaper.
Another rough take on tape.
Blue birds, vultures, shoulders shrugged upside down.
Older and older, round and round.
P.S.S-oh-S.S.S, candlelight don't lie to me.
Will we be, we are meant to be.
Tomorrow I will love you
today, yesterday, always.
For awesome and awesome and awesome, Amen

Farewell Fifth St.

Farewell Fifth St.
and all those nights you spent with me.
You had me believe you were the gem of this city.
From Bob’s block to The Trolley Stop
I moved like homeless poetry.
In fixed wheel coffee shops
I hung posters and shrugged it off.
Year in and year out
I watched Tod play his heart out.
Farewell Fifth St.
you’re not who you used to be.
Your bricks need relaid since before the Elbo’s days.
And I need repaid for all those unpaid nights I played
to an audience that my acoustic could not compete with.
Year in and year out
I watched Don describe the sounds.
Farewell Oregon
will you miss me when I'm gone?
This year and from now on I wont sing another song.
Count me absent
from Halloween and the DMF,
annual holiday show with all the bands that I know.
Year in year out I watched Mark pack that place out.
Year in and year out I met all my friends downtown.

Pacific Blue
03:00
|
|||
|
Lone star, letting go, big easy.
Leaving Las Vegas for the Gem City.
Blue grass, bitterness, betting the line.
Anchors, daggers, out of time.
Pacific blue, blood red, white flag overhead.
The Alamo forgets and forgives.
Twin cities, Milwaukee, you can blame me.
Grand Canyon friendship, sunk and sinking.
Golden Gate, the Lower 48
a statue sans liberty.
Arlington we rest with purple hearted chests.
Big sky, Midwest regrets.

Tallboys to Lincoln

Tallboys to Lincoln
The couples stopped skating.
You're pyramid smoking.
Brooklyn's still broken.
What I miss most is your friendship toast
your heart of gold, the stories you told.
Tallboys to Dayton
The place you thought of leaving
Your old best friend in a kitchen misconnection.
What I wouldn't do to sit down with you
over guitars and a well stocked bar.
The ancient age is empty, prayers on repeat.
It's Christmas in Kettering
My heart is sinking, sinking.
