Valley of a Dying Breed
Bye Bye Rain
Don't come again
Only now and then
Forge what you want to be
See what you want to see
Through me
Kiss my neck
Bite my soul
That's your goal
To cry on my wedding
Say what you want to say
Anyway
I should of dropped you a line
I should of wrote you a letter
From the Valley of a Dying Breed
From the Valley of a Dying Breed
With love from me
Be who you want to be
I don't mind
Way out here
Every hour
A desert flower
Drifts on a dying breeze
You remember days like these
Don't you?
Hanging there
Between the notes
Casting votes
That's where you want to be
Swinging on a melody
Fancy Free
Now they say
Change is good
and it should
be I guess
but it takes a little time
The people
came and went and we spent all
our money
down to the last dime
So bye bye rain
Don't come again
Just count to ten
Before you blow my hopes away
Save it for a another day
Baby

County Fair
This land was made for you and me
We pay for things that should be free
A cool drink of water or a breath of air
A soapbox stranger at the county fair
He said "gather 'round me children a story I must tell"
"Twas a bright and sunny day"
"when all our hopes were washed away"
"we'll get them back some day"
He said the devil's in us all
We must resist when he comes to call
The crowd slipped back and I tried to run
Last man standing on a dying sun

Waterside
I was born by the waterside
then the levees faded
and the lights melted down into the ground
Didn't want to believe at first
then we were persuaded
into thinking we had no choice
You gotta leave
You gotta leave
tonight I'm gonna keep the peace
Just move on and I'll catch up with you.
I once had a mojo pin
but it was a safety
had to keep from using it on myself
They all asked where I'd been
"haven't seen you lately"
"I've been around just been keeping my head down"
You gotta change
You gotta change
tonight I'm gonna stay the same
one last time I'll walk the town
in my own skin
Learning to fly
that's what you found
I'll take my chances on the ground
that way I don't have too far to fall
You know that sound
You know that sound
it's your reputation falling down
It doesn't have too far to fall

Shapeshifter Blues
I climbed a tree
I heard coming after me
I sat down on a branch
till I thought they'd passed
I could see their breath
I could feel their eyes
Shadows walk and spirits fly
I hit the ground
and looked around
statues stared back at me
brushed myself off
kept my eye on the tree line
changed my shape and flew
And one day maybe
we'll find a way
and I'll be thinking
thinking about what I'll say
and in a chair I'll sit
and rock away
I'll rock away

Think About
Do you ever think about what you're gonna do
what you're gonna do what you're gonna do
Do you ever think about what could have been
now and then what could've been
Do you ever feel like a kid
watching lights float on the back of your eyelids
Do you ever think about how you're gonna score
or what you're fighting for what you're fighting for
Do you ever think about once you get up there
how you're gonna get down how you're gonna get down
Do you ever think about the rain
racing down your window pane
Do you ever think about what's inside you
what's inside you what's inside you
Do you ever wonder why you can't feel a thing
you can't feel a thing you can't feel a thing
Do you ever think about me
while taking down your Christmas tree
Do you ever think about how time goes fast
got to make it last cause time goes fast
Do you ever think about if you'll have a child
wouldn't that be wild if you had a child
would it look just like you
would it have your fingers too
making its own way
all the while
making your day

Heads or Tails
I remember you
You're the one who cheated
When no money was on the line
I wondered why or if you even cared
I'll care about you till I die
Heads or tails
I bet I lose
When it lands in your hand
So just step back
and let it fall
I remember thinking
you were just messed up in the head
I couldn't get you out of mine
I tried to run I tried to hide
I tried throwing another dime
Heads or tails
I bet I lose
When it lands in your hand
So just step back
and let it fall
