I’m thinking of two girls, one far away one just down the road. one’s about my age, one thinks I’m sort of old. One understands everything I say, one hangs on every word. one wants to settle down, one wants to see the world. I wish I could follow my heart two ways ’cause I…

Big Lights
Don’t tell anything in the sky I’m down here, I’ll hide beneath the trees. Down, by the water but don’t tell the waves I don’t want ’em to know I can sea. CHORUS The big lights are hardly worth knowin cant touch em it just hurts to see ’em shine the big lights have always…
Back in 15 Minutes
I got a strange feeling. One that won’t let me go. That the sky’s about to open. Steal me away and close. CHORUS Back in 15 minutes, write a letter. Back in 15 minutes, write a song. Back in 15 minutes, write a novel. Back in 15 minutes, right or wrong. Where there’s smoke, there’s…

O Miss Already
It’s a holey bucket that holds the holy water. It’s a gutter that brings it to me. It’s a teaspoon that I use to carry. Now it’s a small pond, but I swim in it for free. All my clothes are tattered and torn like a flag from the revolution. O Miss Already, I’ll be…

I Can Dance
Out here the closest thing to a piece of ass Is the bottle’s bottom. Well my dog pours me another glass. He’s a good boy, Just like I taught him. CHORUS I’m the man that never stood a chance But I can dance, oh can I dance I can dance, oh can I dance, I…
Town to Town
Can’t go to Yale, doesn’t mean I’d fail, It’s just one thing I can’t afford. Sheriff’s not on my trail. I can’t even go to jail. What have I found this New Haven for? You can know yourself too well, til you got nothing to say, No one to tell …..town to town. Found myself…
Butcher Girl
The city’s swept under a carpet of lights. The boys in the band are drained into sight. There’s a sigh in the sidewalk as the opens close and one man’s garbage is a couple warm rolls. I feel like a spring flower surprised by the cold. Come on too strong. Come on too bold. I…
Don’t Need Water
Don’t need water to drown around here. Don’t need water to drown around here. I don’t even understand. How could something so clear be falling for the lines of a fisherman? If I could learn to juggle, does that mean I could learn to paint? If I could learn to juggle, does that mean I…
