- Angel With an Attitude
Contrary to popular opinion
The very best things in life are for free
Through a practice that I call donation
I get the things I want quite easily
I got a chip on my shoulder
And a halo on my head
I'm an angel with an attitude
And my favorite color's red
- Gentle Sheep
Clock in you’re at work but you’re not working so hard
Checking messages ten times a day ensuring you’re not bored
Talking on someone else’s dime
Put a quarter in the pay phone don’t keep them waiting on the line
Rushing through time just to find myself
Asking someone in the future if they’d save me a space
Cause the line’s getting longer with every hour
- Get Up 'N' Go
Takin' it fast takin it slow
Don't take it at all just get up and go
Come on let's go
Tired of sittin' around the house
Stand right up
Move on out
Let's go
Let's go already let's go
- Growing Upside Down
Can't escape a past
That wasn't ever lived
All beginnings ended
Come back to start again
And the people seem to falter
As they watch you fall asunder
Eyes are open and filled with wonder
I'm growing upside down
- In The Meantime
Cat in the upstairs window
Staring down at me
Life seems to have a purpose
When you're wandering aimlessly
In the meantime
What am I missing
I'm missing out
- Nosy Neighbor
Listen to the sound bites of your neighbors
Through the paper thin walls
Making variations on their stories
Told with southern drawls
Look into the dustbin
Pick through rubbish
Finding clues to bare
Ponder their discussion
- Ooh La La
What among the lovers
What twang of temptation
What brought the house down
Strange sleepwalkers on the block
Unfamiliar writing on the ceiling
When she looks up
Momma buried pop atop the roof where he slept
- Orange Sun
Under the orange sun
There can be love
Or there can be none~
We can hold our hands for our guns~
If we stay out too long
We can get burned
Or we can return~ to the Earth
For what it's worth and we will sing~:
- Pale Yellow
Pale yellow scratching at my ear
Pale yellow touching to my rear
Forever tangled forever mustard
Forever my first word's beer
Forever yellow wonder if I'll muster
Anything other than fear
- Short Stacks
I am treading on cow pile mountains
Before you answer my call
Lounging at breakfast a recoiled monster
With tied mouth somehow telling all
Before it breaks before you've listened
Short stacks are sitting high
Lips are dry maybe you're guessing why
- Sister Kate
If I could shake it like my sister Kate
Shake it like a bowl of jelly on a plate
My momma wanted to know last night
How sister Kate could do it oh so nice
Now all the boys in the neighborhood
Katie could shimmy ass mighty good
Now It may be late but I'll be up to date
When I can shimmy like my sister Kate
- There's a Girl
There's a girl that you might know
She's a friend at least I tell you so
But it might surprise you to find
There's something going on behind the door
When I'm asleep it gives me time to think
Thoughts that I wouldn't dare speak aloud
I couldn't bare myself before a crowd
- Wake Up
Wake up and smell the coffee,
Rise and shine,
The early bird gets the worm,
Strike while the iron's hot,
And whistle while you work
Stay on the trail,
Keep your hands and arms inside the train,
- When's She Comin' Home
Ho Hum
The neighbors upstairs just got home
And they got the tv set on
A voice I mistake for her is leading me on
Stare up ate the clock it don't move
Like some broken heart with no reason to beat
When's she coming home
- Wishful Thinking
Why does blood turn brown when it dries?
Why do the tears well up in your eyes?
Why didn't I learn to ride my bike
When it was warm and sunny outside?
Why can't little kids tie their shoes?
Why can't the white people play the blues?
Why can't I fall in love with you?
