I'm falling off the barstool mama in this old ghost town saloon Where sunlight moves like sadness across the room Oh my sweet mama if you could only see me Now drunk as a skunk falling out of this rundown lacy gown This blue ink this blue ink this blue ink A...

I will not have a child, I will be wild And not produce meat for your slaughter No more cannon fodder Company whip cracks at the break of dawn Back break work the whole day long They're coming for my daughter Innocent cannon fodder Every war is brutal, stup...

Breathe life to the street from the mouth Those ruby red lips have much to give Pull life from the land with your capable hands Those life loving beautiful broken hands Oh, I'll stand with you and marvel At the cosmos pink and bright All the pages flipping bac...

I’m a chimney sweeping man You see the black lines On the backs of my hands I planted all the gardens I sent off all the hand-typed letters To the empty shells on high How i want to make things better Maybe you thought i’d be president With my cheshire grin,...

Cool water… I want to fly like a scroll unfolding Float to a stone ledge Wait for a moment 'fore spilling Words to a hedge And going away Like a poem closed in a dresser drawer You could say that's what they're for You want to melt like bullion in a golden f...

I was walking through the snow When I saw a distant glow Of a farmhouse nestled down beneath the trees With a guitar on my back I thought it sure can't hurt to ask If I could stay the night And sing a pretty song for free I walked up to the house And then I k...
