Lyrics
01. Be Gone

Come down low to the ground

Let the mother breathe you down
All the spirits swirling away
Hard to tell the form that they take

Up your arms
Find your heart
Does it know what you’ll do?

Come and stand
Side by side
Woman, man and the battles at night
Boil that bark
Braid my hair
See that smoke, hell if I care

To write all my lost brothers
Only to burn the letters
So they reach you somewhere

Be gone, be gone, be gone
Said the little one to the bad ways
Be gone, be gone, be gone
Let the fight be for another day

Dare to write all of my lost brothers
Only to burn the letters
So they reach you somewhere

Be gone, be gone, be gone
Said the little one to the bad ways
Be gone, be gone, be gone
Let the fight be for another day

And I thought that my mind was folding in
And I hoped that it wasn’t the rain, but just the wind
And he spoke of holy rollers, how they glide across the hall
And he pictured them in carousels when they were two feet tall
And he wakes up in the eye of the watchmaker's dirty glass
And he swims for all the decoys and the lives that they pass

Be gone, be gone, be gone
Said the little one to the bad ways
Be gone, be gone, be gone
Let the fight be for another day

Be gone, be gone, be gone
Said the little one to the bad ways
Be gone, be gone, be gone
Let the fight be for another day
Be gone, be gone, be gone
Said the little one to the bad ways
Be gone for long, till you riddle my tongue
Let the fight be for another day

02. Only The Wild Ones

Long hair and longer stride
Skateboard affair with a primal tribe 
and your cut off painter pants
Chargin down the craggy mountains with our thrift store friends
who you find so... so in love with the falling earth
Oh you wake in the middle of the falling night with summer playing coy

In the attics of the city night
we talked Corso and the MC5
You could dance like
We were all all right

Only the wild ones, give you something and never want it back
Oh the riot and the rush of the warm night air
Only the wild ones, are the ones you can never catch
Stars are up now no place to go... but everywhere

One I met in the green mountain state
I dropped out, and he moved away
Heard he got some land down south
Changed his name to a name the birds could pronounce

Only the wild ones, give you something and never want it back
Oh the riot and the rush of the warm night air
Only the wild ones, are the ones you can never catch
Stars are up now no place to go but everywhere... no place to go but everywhere

And in the city the mayor said
those who dance are all mislead
So you packed your things and moved to the other coast
Said you gonna be like Charlie Rose

Only the wild ones, give you something and never want it back
Oh the riot and rush of the warm night air
Only the wild ones, are the ones you can never catch
Stars are up now no place to go... but everywhere

Only the wild ones, give you something and never want it back
Oh the riot and rush of the warm night air
Only the wild ones, are the ones you can never catch

03. Curse + Crush

We try to understand

The right to life like fire to the arson
You got it right at last, but then the world
Had a different plan and it took it all away

Years and years you fought
To try to light your darkness with a reason
Maybe a woman someday, maybe even a child
To hold and help and start over again

And we run and we gun and we die young
And we curse and we crush and we hide
And we fight and we fuck and we make up
And we love and we shove it aside

Years and years you fought
To try to light your darkness with a reason
Maybe a woman someday, maybe even a child
To hold and help and start over again

And we run and we gun and we die young And we curse and we crush and we hide
And we fight and we fuck and we make up
And we love and we shove it aside

Your eyes they shine, they shine from somewhere else
I’m going in and out, I gotta lie down
Never seen a light like that myself


And we run and we gun and we die young
And we curse and we crush and we hide
And we fight and we fuck and we make up
And we love and we shove it aside

Your eyes they shine, they shine from somewhere else
I’m going in and out, I got to lie down
Never seen a light like that myself

Your eyes they shine, they shine from somewhere else

04. Painted Yellow Lines

Aw it's dark outside
I’ve been trying to get a ride

While my body waits, my body waitsAmerica 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

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
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
And I have no expectation, just to be here in the present
And behold you for a second before it all goes away
Before it all goes away


On those 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

05. Skin The Rabbit

Aw we recognize, see it in your eyes

See it in your eyes, all the lies of the megaphone

We know who you are, we’re not very far
We’re not very far, we’re the cop and the criminal

Aw we recognize, aw we recognize
See it in your eyes, all the lies of the megaphone

We know who you are, we know who you are
We’re not very far, we’re the cop and the criminal

Skin the rabbit, skin skin the rabbit
There’s a lot of people saying that we’re grieving
About the track that we’re on
Skin the rabbit, skin skin the rabbit
Makes you wonder about the faces and the aces that have crawled up the arm
Skin the rabbit, can you turn my gold to wine
Stone to stone, the needle and the eye

Oil in the sand, a gun in every hand
A gun in every hand and we die like the buffalo


Feel it in the dawn, won't be very long
Won't be very long, in the age of the methadone

Oil in the sand, oil in the sand
A gun in every hand and we die like the buffalo

Feel it in the dawn, feel it in the dawn
Won't be very long, in the age of the methadone

Skin the rabbit, skin skin the rabbit
There’s a lot of people saying that we’re grieving
About the track that we’re on
Skin the rabbit, skin skin the rabbit
Makes you wonder about the faces and the aces that have crawled up the arm
Skin the rabbit, can you turn my gold to wine
Stone to stone, the needle and the eye

Is there anyone else?
Is there anyone else?

Is there anyone else, who can, who can read my mind
Who can read my mind
Who can read my mind ‘cause it’s no longer mine


Skin the rabbit, skin skin the rabbit
There’s a lot of people saying that we’re grieving
About the track that we’re on
Skin the rabbit, skin skin the rabbit
Makes you wonder about the faces and the aces that have crawled up the arm
Skin the rabbit, can you turn my gold to wine
Stone to stone, the needle and the eye

Skin the rabbit, skin skin the rabbit
There’s a lot of people saying that we’re grieving
About the track that we’re on
Skin the rabbit, skin skin the rabbit
Makes you wonder about the faces and the aces that have crawled up the arm
Skin the rabbit, can you turn my gold to wine
Stone to stone, the needle and the eye

06. Midnight Lorry

I walk down the road looking for my tribunal

Like tom and huck stumbling down the aisle of their own funeral
Please goddess of the road, get me on my way
You see my love just left me so I’m on my own
And my heart’s banged up looking for a foster home
The highway moon is getting me dizzy
I see a mirage of medusa
A top of an Appaloosa
What I wouldn’t do to be with you and your caboosa
Whispering to Mr. Beck now who’s the real loser

Here come again the midnight Lorry
I think I might be moving along
There’s a lot of places I got to get to
I know you’re out there but I never even met you
Take me to the land of no worry and then I‘ll just keep playing this song
Mr. Driver I hear the music playin’ and I see the lights
Will you throw me a ride?

A pretty young thing ushers me back to the rear
I haven’t been many places and I definitely haven’t been here
To think I was just a lonely soul in the cold with my thumb out
Now I’m rolling a smoke and being told to stick my tongue out
We bounced and blared and so did the Lorry
She teased my hair and held me close with a story
Of ragtag visions as the moonlight poured in
Second star to the right and straight on til’ morning


Here come again the midnight Lorry
I think I might be moving along
There’s a lot of places I got to get to
I know you’re out there but I never even met you
Take me to the land of no worry and then
I‘ll just keep playing this song
Mr. Driver I hear the music playin’ and I see the lights
Will you throw me a ride?

Looking at her face was like looking at the sun
She said you can’t ask of everybody what you don’t ask of one
Either way, we got today and that’s all we may be allowed
I know that if we hold it together
There’s real love we can bring about

Here come again the midnight Lorry
I think I might be moving along
There’s a lot of places I got to get to
I know you’re out there but I never even met you
Take me to the land of no worry and then I’ll just keep playing this song
Mr. Driver I hear the music playing and I see the lights
Will you throw me a ride?


Here come again the midnight Lorry
I think I might be moving along
There’s a lot of places I got to get to
I know you’re out there but I never even met you
Take me to the land of no worry and then I’ll just keep playing this song
Mr. Driver I hear the music playing and I see the lights
Will you throw me a ride?

Here comes
Here comes
Here comes
Here comes
Here comes
Here comes

07. Begin Again

Night after night with the sound and the light
That comes from down below
The street sweepers clean St Augustine
And tired they head for home

You can begin again
Honey you can begin again

Holding it all with her hat and her shawl
She sways in the hall above
Combing the room for a piece of the moon
She braces against the wall

Night after night with the sound and the light
She sings and whispers please
Day after day he lies in the way
Of his life that was meant to be

You can begin again
Honey you can begin again
You can begin again
Honey you can begin again

She breaks into his dreams
And finds his colors on the floor
Says don’t you disappear
Stay awake my dear

You can begin again
Honey you can begin again
You can begin again
Honey you can begin again
You can begin again
Honey you can begin again
You can begin again
Honey you can begin again
You can begin again
Honey you can begin again
You can begin again
Honey you can begin again

08. Rice Water

It's time to wake up

We're all already on the way
See the moon and the river
Chases the train so close to where
We wanna be

But keep it tight
Hold your head and
There are rice on the road
That I don't even see
And I can't go back again

Cause 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 okay?
How was the rough one you had the other day?
Do you care for a cup of tea?
It'll get you high and where
You wanna be

But keep it tight
Hold your head and
There are rice on the road
That I don't want to see
But keep it tight
Hold your head and
There are rice on the road
That I don't want to see
And I can't go back again

Cause 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

So hold me up high like
Like I was your last friend in the world
And let me down easily
Or I might tryna save that girl
You think she's alright?
You think someone grabbed her knees?
You think she gonna make it
Two days ago to the river?

But keep it tight
Hold your head and
There are rice on the road
That I don't [?]
But keep it tight
Hold your head and
There are rice on the road
That I don't [?]
That I don't [?]
And I can't go back again

Cause 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 lights
Like we don't need colors
We don't even need lives
But the lives are [?]
We don't even need roads
I see you thereafter, faster
Than the higher [?]


Do you care for a cup of tea?
It'll get you high
High

09. Windylike

You’ll never believe what I heard just now
Carried by the rain
It was the wind from where all the willows grow
She was yelling your name

Like a bird caught in a curtain
This temporary entanglement may lead to an open sky
Oh you’re looking for the perfect pardon
But there ain't gonna be any man anymore

Cuz if it’s windy like in the morning
And we are all just lost at sea
We're gonna fight
For in the end our only right
Is to live and love and work and be

Tell me once again
Said the wind to the fleeing boy
She told him a tale of a man gone wrong
Said keep on running child
Keep on running boy

Like a bird caught in a curtain
Like a bird caught in a curtain
She was always more than certain
That this temporary entanglement may lead to an open sky
Oh you’re looking for the perfect pardon
But there ain't gonna be any man anymore

Cuz if it’s windy like in the morning
And we are all just lost at sea
We're gonna fight
For in the end our only right
Is to live and love and work and be

But if it’s all the same
I’d like to go on
And leave the missing mountains to themselves
All the cards that you opened up
Will only tell you which way to not go
Oh you’re looking for the perfect pardon
That man that told you that, the man he done died
And there ain’t gonna be any man anymore

Cuz if it’s windy like in the morning
And we are all just lost at sea
We're gonna fight
For in the end our only right
Is to live and love and work and be

10. Ghost Town

Hard times, wages, gone with the ages
See factory walls are crumbling
Now all the coins missing from the fountain
Old brick, old pine, hewed from trees from another time
Used to hang out at the depot when they came in
Freight trains full of lumber from the mountain

Now we’re living in a ghost town
Now we’re living in a ghost town, see
Now we’re living in a ghost town
Now we’re living in a ghost town, see, see, see, see

My dad, since 18, steel plant, near main street
Savin’ money so he can ask the young waitress
The one with the red hair who's always anxious
Clocked in, 4 kids, piled up on the horse hair mattress
30 years at the forgery working
Got a notice that the factory was closing

And now we’re living in a ghost town
And now we’re living in a ghost town, see
Now we’re living in a ghost town, see the money all but left now
Now we’re living in a ghost town, see, see, see, see
See, see, see, see
See, see, see, see
See, see, see, see

But I'm still here, most of us are
There's no happiness here, except for the kind you can score
Now folks my age dropping like flies
Can’t stop once they get a hit of the good life

Now we’re living in a ghost town
Now we’re living in a ghost town, see, see, see, see
Now we’re living in a ghost town, see the money all but left now
Now we’re living in a ghost town, see, see, see, see

Now we’re living in a ghost town
Now we’re living in a ghost town, see
Now we’re living in a ghost town, see, see, see, see
Now we’re living in a ghost town, see the money all but left now
Now we’re living in a ghost town, see, see, see, see
See, see, see, see
See, see, see, see
See, see, see, see
See, see, see, see
See, see, see, see
See, see, see, see
See, see, see, see

11. Atticus Cobain

I never been to London
You never been to Spain
I never been to war, you never been to prison
But we never been the same

After all is said and done
There was so much more to relate
Now the world will never know
Just what it lost that day

Give me some hotdamn
Give me some birdman
Give me some Proud Mary
The one with Claudia Lennear
Give me that mixtape
Give me those school days
Give me some hard cider, the one we did not mean to make

I was never beaten down like you were
I got to grow up in your wake
Momma always protected you
And dad was my ticket away

And after all that was said and done
There was so much more to relate
Now the world will never know
Just what it lost that day

Give me some hotdamn
Give me some birdman
Give me some Proud Mary, the one with Claudia Lennear
Give me that mixtape
Give me those school days
Give me some hard cider, the one we did not mean to make

In prison there was more drugs than I ever seen
And they let me stay out all night and trip the starlight 'til my soul was clean
And when I got out, I began my journey to the east
As they were filling you up with pills

Give me some hotdamn
Give me some birdman
Give me some Proud Mary
The one with Claudia Lennear
Give me that mixtape
Give me those school days
Give me some hard cider, the one we did not mean to make

Give me that long skate
Give me that heartache
Give me some Proud Mary the one with Claudia Lennear
Give me that penalty kill
Give me some big chill
Oh, you be Dignan Redding and I’ll be Atticus Cobain
