LYRICS:
Aw it's dark outside
I’ve been trying to get a ride
(While) my body waits, my body waits
America warm my face
I've been trying to turn the page
Once i was a little boy, staring at my shoes
You came along and found me in the chicken coop
But time takes over, i can't say when
Time takes over, may we do it again
Take me to the beachhead let’s go over
All of those rocks at the end of the road
Take me down to main street with no clothes on with our bare feet on the
Painted yellow lines with our shadows far behind us
Broke into that summer school and fooled around on the infirmary cot
And we can be like all those fairies making their rain angels in the eddies
And I have no expectation just an adolescent heart
Take me to the beachhead let’s go over
All of those rocks at the end of the road
Help me down the seawall let's find Marci
See if she got that
Invitation to the movie, the one where the kids break out of juvie
And then by their own admission they go and turn themselves all in
Just as they get there to the station,
The young one wheels and begs the pavement
For brother speed to make arrangements with the spirits of the night
Take me to the race track let's go bet on
Aw the one that no one expects to win and
Let's bet on the skinny horse he will surely try the hardest to come in first
I bet you for the winner they put on some kind of fancy dinner
Let’s be like those Philadelphia sisters
That have prayed straight for a hundred years
I have no expectation, just to be here in the present
And behold you for a second before it all goes away

LYRICS:
Hold up the firing line hold up the fire
Walk away counting backwards from nine
Hold up the firing line hold steady on the triggers time
Walk away counting backwards from nine
Holding his breath so to start his own dying
Time time served to the ones that left you here
No people here only names soon to be put to numbers so its one in the same
Its anyones game as long as the fire flickers
The throat stickers they place their bet the trouble is that no ones added it up quite yet
Cause when they do when they do when they do when they do
Itll be a riot and the wire is down
Hold up for the fury to sound hold up your head from the ground or theyll keep you on it
Your time time served to the ones who left you here
From tower to wall to guard to guard to wall
Ever ready for the fire to fall
The confines havent seen the sun since the lifers let go of their irrelevant innocence
But long before a single round was shot word spread from block to block to cell block
Theyre going to take him and make an example of him for the escapees to fear
The incoming of the incoming of the gun oncoming another year
You either die on the inside or trying to get out the choice is yours the choice is here
Time time served to the ones who left you here
Time time served to the ones who left you here")

LYRICS:
staring at the pen and ink drawings
there’s a crow who’s starting to bleed
I go to the bookshelf, myself and a picture of a girl in a bikini
jumping off a dock falls out of page 43
I think it’s my brother’s old girlfriend who’s married to a woman now
my father walks like he’s run out of oil
he lurches and jerks his way around the farm
my mother walks towards him the same way she led her last horse away from the barn
we’d just built a fire to soften up the ground
you could see her saying through her tears its okay boy, come follow me one last time
maybe, don’t know, can’t tell, if it’s so good
so good, so good, to be living right now
my kids are still young, barely weigh anything
I can carry them easy on each arm,
but I told them I wouldn’t be able to do that forever
and sometimes when I’m carrying them both
the older one says, hey look dad, you can still carry me
maybe, don’t know, can’t tell
yeah but it’s so good, so good to be living right now
so good, so good, it’s so good to be living right now
maybe, don’t know, can’t tell
yeah but it’s so good, so good to be living right now
yeah but its so good, so good, it’s so good to be living right now")

LYRICS:
It’s time to wake up
We’re already underway
See the moon in the river, she chases the train so close
To where we want to be
Keep it tight
Hold your head in
There are eyes on the road that’ll do us in
(and I can’t go back again)
We don’t even need rice, like we don’t need water,
We don’t even need eyes, we don’t even need God
We don’t even need peace, like we don’t need laughter,
We don’t even need guns, we don’t even need war
Are you ok?
That was a rough one you had the other day
Do you care for a cup of tea
It’ll get you high
And where you want to be
Keep it tight
Hold your head in
There are eyes on the road that’ll do us in
Keep it tight
Hold your head in
There are eyes on the road that’ll do us in
(and I can’t go back again)
We don’t even need rice, like we don’t need water,
We don’t even need eyes, we don’t even need God
We don’t even need peace, like we don’t need laughter,
We don’t even need guns but they love their war
Pull me up hard like, like I was your last friend in the world
Let me down easy, hurt my arm trying to save that girl
You think that she’s alright, you think someone grabbed her knees
You think she can make it, 2 days to go ‘til the river please
Keep it tight Hold your head in
There are eyes on the road that’ll do us in
Keep it tight
Hold your head in
There are eyes on the road that’ll do us in
(and I can’t go back again)
We don’t even need rice, like we don’t need water,
We don’t even need eyes, we don’t even need God
We don’t even need peace, like we don’t need laughter,
We don’t even need guns but they love their war
We don’t even need flags, like we don’t need color,
We don’t even need lies, but the lie’s alright
We don’t even need roads,
I’ll see you there after,
Faster than the highest wall they’ll build")
