AMERICAN FLAG
my friend sits at the drums
his magic hand feels nothing but time, nothing but time
my old friend sits at the drums
his magic mind doesn't feel anything
american flag is behind
if i could stand to be less difficult
my new friend plays drums all the time
her magic heart feels everything
she plays the difficult parts and i play difficult
she goes shoop shoop eh doop shoop eh doop
we go shoop shoop eh doop shoop eh doop shoop eh
if i could stand to be less difficult


HE TURNS DOWN
have you ever seen the face, you know the one i'm talking about
have you ever been to that place, you know i'm not supposed to say
have you ever seen the face, you know the one i'm talking about
have you ever been to that place, you know the one, i'm not supposed to say
holding on for something, have you ever held on
holding on for someone feels like holding on too long
have you ever held on
it's not me, i am pretending
i'm not saved, he turned me down
he turns down


NO SENSE
do you remember that night at context making up shit like we were animals
we made no sense
we had no sex
can you see the moon is so hollow
what's the use when i can see right through you
what's the use
all the hearts that touch your cheek how they jump, they move, they embarrass
they make no sense
we had no sex


MOONSHINER
i've been a moonshiner for seventeen long years
i spent all my money on whiskey and beer
i go to some hollow and set up my holy holy still
if drinking don't kill me then i don't know what will
i go to some bar room and drink with my friends
if women and men would come follow to see what i might spend
god bless them, handsome men
i wish they was mine
they're breath is sweet as the dew on the holy vine
your already in hell
i wish we could go to hell
when the bottle goets empty then life ain't worth the drown


METAL HEART
losing the star withour a sky
losing the reasons why
you're losing the calling that you've been faking and i'm not kidding
it's damned if you don't and it's damned if you do
be true, cuz they'll lock you up in a sad sad zoo
oh hidy hidy hidy what you trying to prove by hidy hidy hiding you're not worth a thing
sew your fortunes on a string and hold them up to light
blue smoke will take a very violent flight
and you'll be changed and everything
and you will be in a very sad sad zoo
i once was lost but now i'm found
was blind, but now i see you
how selfish of you to believe in the meaning of all the bad dreaming
metal heart, you're not hiding
metal heart, you're not worth a thing
 

BACK OF YOUR HEAD
big monster big monster lover
bigger pusher over
stands alone in most walks of life, walks alone in most walks of life
see you looking through me like you've unzipped the zipper
you hold the big picture so well
can't you see that we're going to hell
couldn't park that fucking car
couldn't part from you
saw the back of your sweet mothers head
now i know that she thinks i am dead
burnt flavor, you hold the big picture so well
can't you see that we're going to hell
big monster lover, bigger pusher over
stands apart in most walks of life, walks alone in most walk in life


MOONSHINER
i've been a moonshiner for seventeen long years
i spent all my money on whiskey and beer
i go to some hollow and set up my holy holy still
if drinking don't kill me then i don't know what will
i go to some bar room and drink with my friends
if women and men would come follow to see what i might spend
god bless them, handsome men
i wish they was mine
they're breath is sweet as the dew on the holy vine
your already in hell
i wish we could go to hell
when the bottle goets empty then life ain't worth the drown 
take me home Sally Jane, take me home...
