So you think you know what you prefer
You, that deep and ancient aquifer
Bubblin' puddles, pooling up, spilling into beds
An easy path to follow
The ground there is soft and wet
It can forgive, it won't forget
Spent all its life on a spinning plate
And can't get off until it's all hollow
You only give as good as you get
You get to giving up it feels good
Lead me straight into the well
But be damned if I'ma drink and tell
With rivers running all down my chest
The excess I couldn't swallow
You only give as good as you get
You get to giving up it feels good
Meet me there, I'm in the lake
Valley calls us to escape
Where we can all disseminate
Our one prayer is to be ocean bound
Might only get to give it one try
And payment's due at time of death
Once you've done your best it gets good

Now that's really playing my tune
My dear we couldn't of had a fuller afternoon
And tonight I'm fixing to bear my soul
But when I put it into words
Well it came out more like rock n roll
Whose it gonna be now?
Whose it gonna be now?
Whose it gonna be now?
Whose it gonna be now?
Who do I get to know now?
Who do I get to know now?
Who do I get to know now?
Who do I get to know?
Yes it's true, they're building a temple in heaven
They're putting all their hopes and prayers
In the almighty hands of the living
When's it gonna come down?
When's it gonna come down?
When's it gonna come down?
When's it gonna come down?
and
Who do I get to know now?
Who do I get to know now?
Who do I get to know now?
Who do I get to know?
Tell me, whose got the know how?

You love to be the definitive one
But "before we put it to bed"
Is actually called a night cap
In-between sealing the deal and keeping it real
Is not being too proud to try and keep sex away
You love to be just the definition of
"I got too loud, can't even give myself away"
In-between sealing the deal and keeping it real
I said "Before we put it to bed lets have a night cap"
That panther loves to bite
And lives to get its claws in deep
Prone to attack on site
And then its all
"Put your hands on me"
(repeat)
And I got time for one more
Before you take me home
Please, someone take me home
Andre, it's just a night cat
That purrs in the dark of night
Must be there's something
Going wrong with me
'Cause later in the light
It had died from curiosity

I'm just an ordinary woman
Whose never had visions
But if there's one thing that I know
Baby its you want snow
We're moving the whole town
Electing the higher ground
But the air kept getting thin
When it should have been pregnant
It's not ordinary for me
To change position lightly
But God damn give us what we're owed
Can't you see we want snow?

Been getting confused again
And getting stuck in the middle
Not knowing which way's the end or beginning
And as that straight path
Started curving 'round as time passed
I saw you and filled up with sexual tension
That's cause I want to take you out
And lay under the sky
Heard the moon was full
But it was just aligned
Yeah, I've got flaws
But no, not to hear you tell
Still, they're paving my way to some distant perfection
Where I love you
And when I can let you know about it
Yeah you're right
I'm so fucking filled up with love and affection
I want to take you out
And lay under the sky
But the man in the moon
That was your other guy
Been having that dream again
Where I can't get it out of reverse
And a new one
The bite on my hip grew a red square around it
And you know me
It was really scary
In fact, it woke me right up
But with no one there I had to keep it to myself
So I kept it for me
I kept it for me

This song is a dedication
So dance
Step back, back down
Easy now, even if
I wanted, I wanted, I wanted
I wanted to much
Breathe deep, clear the air
Now take account, do you care
For me at all, care for me, care for me
Care for me at all?
That's when the lamb said
"Now its done, now its finished"
But the hog just can't let it go
He hangs 'round the parlor
And sets his gaze
Here's to our wasted days
Ten years, that's what you said
High and low, what happened to
The other five there's still time
But you threw all that away
Ain't it funny how living together
Can drive lovers apart?
And apart from your reasons, excuse me
Did you know right from the start?
You started life over I know it
You're in some little town
Left me without a doubt
A lambhog ran you out
Heart ache, heart break
For God's sake
Won't you remember on your porch
Boneyards at five a.m.
Digging through ashes to ashes
To dust, no remorse
Then the lamb said
"Now its done, now its finished"
But the hog just can't let it go
He hangs 'round the parlor
And sets his gaze
Here's to our wasted days
Ain't it funny how living together
Can drive lovers apart?
And apart from your reasons, excuse me
Did you know right from the start?
You started life over I know it
You're in some little town
Left me without a doubt
A lambhog ran you out

Back in 2010 I was enchanted indeed
A chance meeting outstripped the lot of them
PSR 730
Not quite gold or carved of wood but
By the grace of God the cross of Saint Andrew stood
And B is stands for you
To rest in peace old friend
Fly away from this wretched land
Where its given, no one understood
They call it living
And you wouldn't change it if you could
That's why you and me got on so well
So RIP old friend
Coy and stubborn up till the end
You've seen me through
The joys of loving
Love's still a mystery
Then again, you never once gave up on me
B H Jackson hit me with some action
With that passion babe
You got it burning inside, burning, cause a reaction
B H Jackson hit me with some action
Won't you call be baby?
Call be baby baby baby...
Please please me in your prefab fashion
Brickhouse Jackson
Won't you please play my hands from beyond the grave?

Afraid my name was growing dim
Went racing down an empty hall
Another song to sing, another drink
Must be I'm too sentimental
My heart went from tremble to quake
Replaying every conversation
But when I slipped into your bed
You were already naked
Well ok
I'm not trying to be vain
But my tongue tip got tangled up
And no one would call my bluff
An acorn has a funny little hat
His cover's about to be blown
I want to live like that
Dozing with your weight on my arm
You cut it off to count my rings
Icarus or icky sex
Now who wouldn't give the cripple wings?
There's now way
I'll come to know true desire
Don't want it to feel the same
Or feed some enteral flame
An acorn has a funny little hat
His cover's about to be blown
I want to live like that
I want to live
I want to love you
I want to give
I want to stay cute
I want to live
I want to live with you
But you say something's got to give
Well baby here I come bearing fruit
So you want to bury it now
Put the stone in the cold ground
But surprise I'll take root
In the backyard I came up brand new
And now I want to live
I want to live

Her face was framed so well
She paused a moment so y'all could dwell
That was too kind, felt sorry for myself
Her face was framed so well
I was having maybe a heart attack
And you didn't care
Baby's such a class act
Her furs were solid proof
They hit the floor and turned into a noose
I hung around till I was no more use
Her furs were solid proof
When I was going dumb and blind a spell
And you wouldn't help
Baby's such a class act
Filling gold in every crack

Waiting for a sign
Four white vans
Sixteen rows of boys
Omen or choice
Two by two they roll by
What purpose on this sight?
Bad feeling
And I'm feeling bad all this year
What purpose turns the gears?
What's come over you?
What's going on?
So you wanna act like nothing's happening here?
Fool me once, mock me twice
Hide it in plain sight like you don't care
Fading light, or just night?
In the sky
I drew a square
If something's amiss
All the lines are there
By the place I crashed my car
What use but to herald harm?
A black cloud
Or crowd of birds, ten thousand strong
What purpose keeps them calm?
What's come over them?
What's going on?
So you wanna act like nothing's happening here?
Fool me once, mock me twice
Hide it in plain sight like you don't care
One thing I'm sure:
In this life there are boys
And black birds
What should I care?
Hands contort with no design
No purpose
Fair is fair
Well now
Fair is fair
