1. In the Winter (Iowa/Canada)
Took a drive down to Iowa
Bought myself a new t-shirt
Took a drive back up to Canada
So me and pals can get drunk,
Legally.
I heard him walk down the stairs
He said, "Four more minutes then I'll be out,
I'll be out in four more.
Just wait by the door."
And in the winter...
Four more minutes until.
2. Cornbread
That's right,
Mama's in the kitchen...
Papa's in the garage...
Brother's watchin' TV...
Sister's downstairs gettin' ready for a big date...
Mama's in the kitchen cookin' some cornbread,
(Cuz we gotta eat.)
Papa's in the garage, he's fixin' up the car,
(Cuz we gotta drive down the mother fuckin' street.)
3. Cornfield
If that's what you meant...
I met a dog halfway through a cornfield
What a way...
4. Jesus Stopped Me at the Door
It's floodin' up from the basement
It's leakin' down from the attic
An' I turned around to go,
but I was stopped there at the door
Jesus stopped me at the door,
He said, "Son we gotta talk.
Like I was your pa,
Like you were supposed to listen to me."
I said, "Okay,"
and, "I'll take a seat,
I'll listen to the spiel
A long time no,
I'll give you 5 minutes."
That's about how long you got.
You see,
They're floodin' up from your basement
An' I'm leakin' down from your attic, ya dick.
I got no choice but I gotta leave.
5. Xylophone Tent
Here they come...
One by one, here they come.
Again and again and they don't stop.
Here they come again,
No, gone once again,
On the road:
The same one you left on,
But you didn't turn around
and forgot the direction you came in.
6. Lost 'em
Swalled 'em
Lost 'em
7. Washed Up
Time to know when you left out that door.
People left you on the outside with a glass in your hand.
Nobody knows where you went to.
Everybody's down by the docks
Everybody's lookin' for your body to wash up
like the rest of them.
Lost 'em
8. Small Town Time Machine
I came out that time machine,
Man, I was high as I'd ever be.
I was down on my two knees,
I was prayin' to some guy named Jesus.
He was sayin' stuff to me,
You see, he was speakin' things.
In the general sense,
I mean, he told me how to be.
If you know what that means,
Well then, I know.
It was all written before: I took it off the page and said that's what he said.
'Cuz no one believes me: I can't write my own.
Marchin' down the street it's only me,
And a heard of goats-
You see, they've been followin' close.
They came off the side of the mountain
from the countryside-
You see, I was out there late at night.
Took me all day just to get in the city,
and it's night again,
but those stars I don't see.
How am I supposed to direct these streets?
They're labeled east and west, north and south,
But that don't mean I know where it leads.
9. Thin White Skin
Oh-
Let me get it,
No-
Let me hit it.
In your father's pickup bed,
Spread the hay out.
And we'll spend the day,
Just layin' out.
In the Sun or in the barn,
Slide off your cut-offs.
I'll take it slow,
If you want me to.
Just please baby, tell me this is new to you.
An' when your parents get back,
We'll have our warning sign.
The crunch of the gravel road.
The howl of your ol' dog.
Just hope your not too loud,
but I really hope you are.
An' late at night,
We can view the stars.
Just starin' out dreamin',
like we're stuck in the sky,
like we're floatin' past the moon,
floatin' deep into...
Gravity can't hold us down,
We've achieved much more.
An' I can't taste that pig shit.
No, I've forgotten where we are.
The torn off roof
In the dilapidated barn.
On your father's pickup bed,
We were layin' in the hay.
That's all there was to our night and day.
An' I can feel your hate,
Feels so perfect.
Just makin' it way past second base.
An' on the drive home,
I'm feelin' like a man.
I could die, I could flip this car
Land right on a privileged child
An' I won't feel bad for crushin him.
'Cuz my head's in the nebula and I'm lovin' it.
Wishful memory of your thin white skin.
..And we've lain in the hay.
That's all there was to our night and day.
That's all there is to my night and day.
10. Rapid Fire Thunder
People come runnin' at the sound of a drum,
They're all mowed down by a man with a gun.
It was a while, before they could calm down.
But the path he took was a righteous one.
After all, he was born to Jesus Christ.
He consented to the crime,
Glorified life taken out to die.
The dissipation ate my country alive.
Mad fucks on them gravel roads:
They're crunchin' munchin' on some human bones.
They took comfort, then they sold the soul
Time to go, Time to eat
Time to organize life's defeat.
20 minutes left to tic off the clock.
With each minute that passes, there's a boat that docks.
Space ain't got no port- you see,
I need a portal hole from this icey sea.
Time wouldn't believe,
I'm goin' under at the sound of thunder.
10. The Rain Will Wash Your Feet
Oh baby,
Never wanna see all those Russian pretty feet,
Just a-comin' down the street.
Bleedin' through the cracks in your feet,
On the street, pourin' up through the concrete.
Oh, bloody bloody feet,
Where's it comin' from?
Bloody bloody shoes,
I didn't go to school today.
Found somethin' better to do,
An' I went and saw you.
Skippin' down the street,
Runnin' from the police.
Blood drippin' down your feet.
Had to do the whole thing,
Sorry didn't save any.
Actually, it's quite impossible
to feel sorry.
'Cuz I'm fucked up back on Tuesday.
An' I'm layin' on the lawn,
Tryin' to find my phone.
Oh no,
I hear it comin' from the ground.
Had to do the whole thing,
Sorry I didn't save it for you.
12. Time to Sleep
Time to go.
An' there's a time to eat,
But right now its time to leave.
Like you were given a choice of what to do.
You didn't know what to do.
Took it what it was,
Brought it down,
Told your family it was now yours.
Time to go.
An' there's a time to eat,
But right now, it's time to sleep.
