1.	Vampires at Sea 04:37	lyrics	buy track
Morning ring out, church bells in C Throwin’ sticks at my heart like stones at the sea On the day Moses comes, don’t you worry ‘bout me I’ll be drinking the blood of a sailor I do what I have to for love to survive I get through the night Get through the night My world formed from a void, born bearin’ light I can still taste your skin when your impulse is kind Eating fruit from the hand that carried the vine Maybe now I’m meeting my maker I do what I have to for love to survive I get through the night Get through the night I would love you to death, be your last sin Then die at your neck for still taking you in So close to you now and the rush of your gin I want love but I settle for Poison I do what I have to for love to survive I get through the night Get through the night I want Love but I'd settle for Poison
2.	SheBang! 03:52	lyrics	buy track
I've come to see the alchemist For a potion and her chocolates “What do you want?”, she says to me I want my sisters here with me I turn it up the dark and dry And chase her with a sweet goodbye Delinquent men who pace the world Feel inside the Warrior Yes, I do believe in them I feel a hero deep within SheBang! blow ur mind out SheBang! bang ur drum Flying south and taking home A hand drum and a carry-on A bag of souvenirs for sale The Wizards’ mysteries reveal And the Tin Man he is here with me Can you hear his shallow beat? SheBang! blow ur mind out SheBang! bang ur drum She gives you ideas that will not leave your brain She's got surprises that will test your sustain Voo-doo drum, beat, bass - SheBang! “We are not alone”, she says, “The waves speak of an Infinite.” It’s sinkin’ in, it comes to me... I am just a conduit And the shaman she is here with me Oh, can you taste her sweet relief? SheBang! She blow yo mind out SheBang! She bang yo drum
3.	Neighbors Front Porch 04:13	lyrics	buy track
Boys are laughing in the night Neighbor’s front porch, Christmas lights In the middle of June, maybe July Singin’ goodtimes won’t let laughter die My shadow cast me to the draught Drinkin’ dirty water from the south Oh, you left my head a cloudy mind Singin’ goodtimes won’t let laughter die Oh they might be wrong, might be right Smokin’ psychedelics, lettin’ love fly by But the neighbor’s porch was hot and breathin’ fire Singin’ goodtimes won’t let laughter die aye yu aye yu My hasty mouth been pushin’ air— Your swingin’ hips they rub me rare— Oh, if we got it baby, yeh Let it shine, shine, shine Singin’ goodtimes won’t let laughter die aye yu aye yu <instr. break> I need your mercy, need your love I need you to remember words If I ever seem to forget my lines Tell me goodtimes, tell me goodti—imes Tell me goodtimes won’t let laughter die aye yu aye yuaye
4.	Wreck Was My Heart 03:45	lyrics	buy track
You went back on your word today Led us both astray Back to your reckless ways I know, Love is amusing There’s no place like the home you make or the plates you break its the way you play the game Dodging the bully I kiss your barking mouth to shut you up Turn the car around, kick me out Feels so, damn, so sane in the dark You could of caused a wreck but the wreck was my heart the wreck was my heart Bells will ring when the land line burns or the romance turns tell your wicked tongue to stay Say something worth me Break or fade, you take the longer way on down the path you raised you can have your say I know, Love is amusing I kiss your barking mouth to shut you up Turn the car around, kick me out Feels so, damn, so sane in the dark You could of caused a wreck but the wreck was my heart the wreck was my heart
5.	Our Story 03:45	lyrics	buy track
The storm behind you (hold on, we’re waiting it out) You walk outside to (be there chasing the clouds) I take it your a tough one I get you can brave it If I give you just enough love to have you believe it Our story still revealing I drew your profile (between music and maps) Made you a sundial (to guide your silhouette back) Remembering the subtle shape of your shadow discovering the thousand things I do not know Our story still revealing The winter’s cold without your face Spring rushes in and brings familiar rain I take it your a tough one I get you can brave it If I give you just enough love to have you believe it Our story still revealing
6.	Baby Bird 03:59	lyrics	buy track
I know you, so familiar Pretty fruit on your finger Are you sewn to that silver, Are you down with common law? A heart is bold when you wake it, but its loud when you break it Keep your wings in your pockets or we’re gonna make some noise Holler out if you want me, baby Holler out, baby bird I’ll bite off a melody and then feed you the words! From the top of the tree line, hear the sound of the slow grind Build a nest on a fault line, it shakes you to the ground Keep your cool, keep your distance Disregard my insistence Mother nature’s persistance commits us to the sky Come for tea, come for coffee, baby Be my guest, be my doll But you’ll leave before morning Mama sleeps here alone
7.	Dream of Myself 05:15	lyrics	buy track
Moving within me like opening wings, A butterfly landing, A hummingbird sings. Inside of this wasteland, I find a rose, Follow the wild call, The sound of my word. As soon as I said it, You had me declare it. And the weight of my promise Brought sweat to my brow Been lost in a dream of myself as someone who would let you down Some speak about a freedom in dazzling frames In awe of the shimmer and rattle of chains. But there’s a hook in the worm dear And no sign of release, I can choose to be scared now or choose to be free I'm not looking for trouble That’s too close for comfort Or for a new darlin' with an old idea Been lost in a dream of myself as someone with nothing to give Separate from the rest like a bird from the nest, fill the space in my chest with desire. As I fall through the air, Every breath is a prayer, No occasion for fear of the flight, In a dream of myself as someone who will save a life No room for regrets here, My eyes are a new clear. I have what it takes, dear, to serve my own needs In a a dream of myself as someone who will take the lead
8.	Landscaping 03:40	lyrics	buy track
Where the world ends your skin begins Where the world ends your skin begins Keep me wide eyed and churning I’m changing the lines Drowning or burning Your landscape divides Give me time to feel like you're missing me Give me time to feel you're alive in the heart Tender body between us, a breath in a bell split open the mountain that screams to exhale Give me time to feel like you're missing me Give me time to feel you're alive in the heart
9.	Holy Train 10:41	lyrics	buy track
Woke up walking that crooked line Covering footprints left behind I gotta keep moving, I'm doing fine Force of the flood carry me in time Carry me in time I'm a man with no worries I'm sleeping good Dreaming of the peace I know I should All the summer trees are bearing fruit If you got love, you got enough to lose Like sand through my hands my youth is ghosting away So I laugh and I cry til I ride that holy train Oh, I ride that train I've been sinner, mama, I have sin Keep a little cool air coming in Take me back to where it ends Pushing on the bruise, Let the pain begin
