Living on the road for 30 years
never made myself a home
traveling from place to place
walking alone like a human
Suitcase, Suitcase
Suitcase Man
dropped my bags on the floor
instruments by the door
My home is a chevy van
guess that why she calls me
Suitcase Man
Suitcase Man
Suitcase Man
Suitcase Man
Now that van is parked outside
I'm gonna learn to live inside
I can unpack myself
Empty my Heart on the shelf
Suitcase
Suitcase
Suitcase
Man

Heard that
You went out
I went out too
I wonder
If your brain
Tells you the same
At the hospital
They are trying
You had a cure
But now you’re dying
The sky outside
Is finally blue
The world is lonely
Without you
I’m on a greyhound to la
You’re standing topless
In the waves
At the hospital
For the second time
Will your thoughts
Crucify you this time
Or will you survive
Your beautiful mind

Empty Bones

Here comes that angry feeling
same ole Drunken wheeling
Same Old Cliche Pattern
Gonna rub my magic lantern
run my red baton
wave my golden wand
go dancing in the rain
more more stop the pain
Devil says this is new
Angel says think it through
James Brown says get on up
History says i'm gonna fuck it up
Got me a tiny wife
less drama in my life
i gotta second in my head
act on the thoughts
my end up dead
because heroin knows my cells
tells me where the dealer dwells
my blood a map on empty bones
i start to hunt when i'm all alone
Devil says this is new
angel says think it through
James Brown says get on up
History says i'm gonna fuck it up
Write you out of my head
cut you out of this thread
Write you out of my head
cut you out of this thread

On The Lamb

Unthread the needle
Untying the knot
Unsnarl the lie
Cause he always got caught
Not talking to you
Got nothing new
You see black and white
Til I feel
Black and blue
Cause I always got caught
Ring lost its stone
Dog dropped its bone
This bird has flown
Don’t pick up the phone
I don’t wanna get caught
Don’t speak like a girl
Don’t call me daddy
Don’t offer your help
It all ends up
Badly
Cause we always got caught
The fence was a wall
The fairytale cracked
Foundation rotting
Not coming back
Cause you always got caught
Prince !
Find her slipper - wake her from sleep
This wolf in wolf’s clothing
Is an on the lamb
Sheep
And she always gets caught
Your party is over
Im that lingering guest
A leftover lover
Who left a hot mess
Cause they always got caught

Show Me Your Hands

I hear gunshots
In the middle of the night
I hear gunshots
Loud and tight
A drug deal gone foul
A cop losing his cool
Rural pride
A suicide
I hear gunshots
In the middle of the night
I check the locks
And hold you tight
I hear gunshots
In the middle of the day
He did it cause it wouldn’t
This one in school
He wasn’t cool
Show me your hands
Show me your hands
Just this innocent man
Show me your hands
Such an innocent man

Feeling
Invisible
Clouds, floating by
Hold me help me help you
Hold me help you
Let me go
Hold me
Help me help you
Let me go
She’s screaming at the chickens
He’d howlin at the moon
Mister wombats whining
Whatcha gonna do
Peregrine and beignet
So far away
989 miles away
See them monday
See them monday
Hold me help me help you
Hold me help you
Let me go
Hold me
Help me help you
Let me go

Roly Poly
Eatin' corn and taters
Hungry every minute of the day
Roly Poly
Gnawin' on a biscuit
As long as he can chew it it's okay
He can eat an apple pie
And never even bat an eye
He likes anything from soup to hay
Roly Poly
Daddy's little fatty
I bet he's gonna be a man someday
Roly Poly
Scrambled eggs for breakfast
Bread and jelly twenty times a day
Roly Poly
He eats a hearty dinner
It takes lots of strength to run and play
He's up at dawn to do the chores
And he runs both ways through all the stores
He works up an appetite that way
Roly Poly
Daddy's little fatty
Fatty's gonna be a man someday

Tiny Pink
Tiny pink Asses
with our tiny pink
Tiny Pink Asses
Momma told me i was king
I was the center of the universe
5 years old sitting in church
asking momma when god was gonna shut up
with my
Tiny Pink
Tiny pink Asses
with my tiny pink
Tiny Pink Ass
Daddy Gave me my first god Complex
I would dress up like the evil priest
give all the kids their first communion
go running naked down the street
with our
Tiny Pink
Tiny pink Asses
with our tiny pink
Tiny Pink Asses
We would play detective
we would be John Waynes
Gun Smoking Marshall Dillon
Killing all the indians
with our
Tiny Pink
Tiny pink Asses
with our tiny pink
Tiny Pink Asses
We didn't kill but we took
what they taught us in their history books
Genocidal manifest destiny
I am them you are me
with our
Tiny Pink
Tiny pink Asses
with our tiny pink
Tiny Pink Asses

you never went bald
you never went grey
you never grew old
you stole you away
what triggered the trigger
final straw
sudden crack
you never did leave
but you’ll never come back
your final letter
didn’t say goodbye
my beautiful brother
did you fight did you cry
was it the future
or was it the past
smoke filled exhale
proceeding the blast
were you always alone
with your radiant smile
did every breath
feel like running a mile
you never went bald
you never went grey
you never grew old
you stole you away
