American Dream Town

Got yer membership card to the high mighty
Unwritten rule above the door says nur whitey
Shake a hand and feel real special
Walk around, eat chocolate-covered pretzels
Next morning wake up, it's all like a dream
Nothing is never more quite what it seems
in this town
this American town
this dream town
this American dream town
Don't hate me cuz I'm beautiful
Don't go lookin' for my long lost soul
Some time and money is all you need
They'll give ya a shot and start to kneed
Yer face like dough, there's no need to know
Yer true light within, just spin spin spin
Slap a logo on yer chest
Don't worry about the rest

Black Eye'd Kind of Love
04:49

The moon is on the rise, the sun set long ago
I sit on the hood of our Chevy drinking rum and Co’
I’d cry if daddy hadn’t removed my ability when I was 10
I’d hit something hard if it weren’t for that broken bone already in my hand
The waves washed away our castles long ago this morning
And we packed up our things and headed back to the hotel, laid around being boring
We had some dinner and you said you were leaving
And you were taking the kids and moving in with your mother in Cleveland
This is a black eyed kinda love
This is a black eyed kinda love
And it obviously doesn’t matter to no God above
Cuz this is a black eyed kinda love
Well your love was dead and gone since last Christmas
Mine being a mule stuck around for a much longer amount of time
But now the moon and the people are making their way down south
And when you turned one last time these are the words that came out of your mouth
It was 10 years ago to the day, just 18 years of age
You knew about my temper, I knew your dad was a leper
He passed out at the reception, put the ire in my predilection
I broke that bottle of Maddog 20/20 and said “Let this be a lesson.”

Closed for the Year

I've been tired from wasting all this time
I've been tired from never ever stoppin'
But I will just cut another line
There will never be an end to all this poppin'
These pills that come in red, white and blue
They're made to keep folks like me and you
From thinkin' too much about the way
They never mean a goddamn thing they say
Come and get me Uncle Sam
Come and get me big blue
Come and get me Little Bo Peep
I've lost my tail feathers, too
Hey, sorry, we're closed for the year
It's winter now and there's nobody here
Check back in six months my dear
Cuz sorry but we're closed for the year
I was feeling a bit moby that day
What I really needed was a good night's sleep
But I climbed out of bed climbed into my Toy-o-tay
Started the engine and pulled into the street
Lit up a smoke, took a drag, felt suddenly young
Lit up down the road towards the setting sun
Next morning pulled up to this store
Read the words no one could ever ignore
