- Coffee God And Cigarettes
Well I used to worship whiskey
Now I only drink the Lord
And I take my coffee cream and seven sugars
Before we meet, we stand out on the sidewalk as it pours
Swapping one addiction for another
Coffee, God, and cigarettes are all that I need
It's all that I need just to break this routine
- Coffee, God, And Cigarettes
I used to worship whiskey, now I only drink the lord
And I take my coffee, cream and seven sugars
Before we meet we stand out on the sidewalk as it pours
Swappin' one addiction for another
Coffee, God and cigarettes are all that I need
It's all that I need just to break this routine
Coffee, God and cigarettes are all that you need
- Gimme Coffee, or Death
It could have been just like any other day.
If not for the drug raids.
They seemed so normal as they were cuffed and hauled away.
Who could have thought?
We should have know.
Such a nice family, but it's all a show.
It could have been just like any other day
if not for the blood in the rain.
- Gratitude and Thanks
I asked a student of higher schooling
He said he didn't care
When I asked about the sixties
They simply said long hair
Saw a child getting programmed
Getting programmed when she wakes
And I hear a raving elder
- Love And Rage
Love, love and rage
Soon be the day
They sang as they swayed in the pews
Sang with love
Love and rage
Soon be the day
As they joined up to pray
- Nevada City Serenade
Where did you come from and where did you go?
The rattlers are still and the ashes are cold.
The stage, it is empty; the Union Halls, dark.
And the lights are so bright that I can't see the stars.
Ain't no heaven and hell in the Great By-And-By
Where the dead they are laughing, singin' and spillin' their wine.
- Roll Me Through The Gates Of Hell
I am a leader but you will not follow me.
I ain't no preacher for I'm full of blasphemy.
See you in hell boys.
See you in hell boys.
Hey!
Like an angel who'd been dancing with some devils.
I'm a bad girl with a hope for better day.
- The Drunk Of Three Nights
All that's between us and the sky
Fire, glass, and dusty blinds
So I scrawled your name, then mine
Just to see them side by side
Your boss is pulling out his hair
If he only knew why you're not there
Bells and hammers break the waking day
- The Lowly Carpenter
Come labor get ready to dance for your bread
My son I was once where you stand.
There's a beast with insatiable hunger
It's minions need crafters and skilled working hands.
Needs a fortress high in the hilltops
And we are the great chosen crew.
But I am a lowly carpenter so
- Three-Cord Circus
All my friends are freaks.
The only way to be. I could tell you the things I've seen,
But you probably won't be able to eat.
Sometimes I look around and just smile at the sight
Of you not believing your own eyes.
And you tell your children, "Look away!"
But I'm sorry, sir, it's too late.
