The Natural World 03:59
lyrics

It is continually happening Everyone you know is doing something right now Enjoy the Natural World! Ask a cat for it’s amazing secrets Find a way to ask your dog for help Enjoy the Natural World! Animals, they don’t know they’re in movies Just give the bee some honey and destroy a La Croix As you study the bones outside your contemporary desert home Feel your naked body fall into obscurity The ocean keeps its beauty as you careen towards it Just lie on the sand and watch the grains disappear from your hand Look Mom, what I’ve created Folk art in the land of the free I love all your broken crap Amongst the needlegrass and the weeds This door is a lensless camera (look up) Look up from your fucking phone Enjoy the Natural World! Question the history of that building Whatever happened to the Crystal Palace? Enjoy the Natural World! It is continually happening Everyone you know is doing something right now Enjoy the Natural World! Ask a cat for it’s amazing secrets Find a way to ask your dog for help Enjoy the Natural World! Look Mom, what I’ve created Folk art on the home of the brave I love all your broken crap Amongst the needlegrass and the sage Look Mom, what I’ve created Folk art is all that remains In the future, I hope we’ll remember The dinosaurs who never were named This door is a lensless camera (look up) Look up from your fucking phone Enjoy the Natural World! Question the history of that building Whatever happened to the Crystal Palace? Enjoy the Natural World!

Hospital 03:24
lyrics
buy track
Beware, why does nobody believe? They’re making human beings into living breathing machines This is not some kind of a fantasy novel But this is real, here’s the deal, I know what I saw A genuine electric grandma. Oh... I’m mild compared to other friends I know Mostly numb, mostly dead, I’ve done nothing and I’m old Wake me, that’s it I must be dreaming There’s a heart in the trash and it’s still beating The vaguest memory of feeling. Oh... Send help, contact your elected officials Shut it down cuz this town’s lack of action is abysmal. Press here, easy off/on switch I’ve become the deluxe dustin moping robot for the rich I think via occasionally glitch. Oh... At the hospital This is where I am Remove the brain from the skull And give new gears to ol’ gram I don’t have a pulse I’m a mechanical ghost Just an kind faced facade That continues to live on And on and on

A Collection of Igneous Rocks 02:34
lyrics
buy track
I bought two boxes of trash bags Buy one, get one half price The cashier charged me in full I didn’t put up a fight I trashed my energy compound Nothing left but feral cats And a collection of igneous rocks If this bag can last I moved next to a church Safer with God in my view What if you could see your loved ones in Heaven But they didn’t want to see you I’ll smile to make you feel better It’s nice to have human contact And my collection of igneous rocks If this bag can last I’m like the most popular creature in the zoo Still have no place to go And even when the old songs become new A haunted house is still a haunted home And I’ve become ok with the moon Now that it’s 102 in El Cerrito
 My long term plan was to disappear Where the river meets the sea To build my collection of igneous rocks They mean something to me I have my collection of igneous rocks And that's all I got

Traveler's Rest 03:31
lyrics
buy track
On the run again, looking to check-in in a brand new town There’s AC and a color tv and barely any folks around Lock the truck, walk the block, say what’s up to a dog named Gizmo The owner is a neighbor who delivers penny savers and always stops to say hello And I say All I need tonight is a clean bed Turn out the light and listen to the rain Underneath the theme of the old wild west A chance to dream in Traveler’s Rest Those sons of bitches, they ain’t gonna find me Gizmo, you drive me koo-koo today You know my every move. You viewed my story. I can’t run and I can’t stay At six am, the gardener pours a little water on a line of tiny hedges The waitress at the diner takes my order and cuts up sides of watermelon wedges A Denver Omelette with the green tabasco on it. Large coffee to go Press my luck, lose a buck, smoke it off at the Red Rock Casino. And I say All I need tonight is a clean bed Turn out the light and listen to the rain Underneath the theme of the old wild west A chance to dream in Traveler’s Rest Those sons of bitches, they ain’t gonna find me Gizmo, you drive me koo-koo today You know my every move. You viewed my story. I can’t run and I can’t stay And the church bell rings again, again, again, again. The noise isn’t the best but I like the emptiness of a motel room See the view of the barber and saloon under that Carolina moon In a place like this, like an elephant in space, You’re not so big anymore Folks like me & you got little else to do but look to future better days in store And I say All I need tonight is a clean bed Turn out the light and listen to the rain Underneath the theme of the old wild west A chance to dream in Traveler’s Rest Where the church bell rings again, again, again, again.

Until Morning 03:20
lyrics

I had a long time walking behind two people in love I decided to change my life as they hogged the sidewalk Polished up, started to strut, and joined a rock n roll band I’ve just begun life as Number 1. Come on baby take my hand Yes I know how to Party! Why can’t everyday be a Friday? Let’s go out again Until Morning! You look so lovely in the copier light. Gimme crazy workplace sex. It’ll add excitement and ruin our lives but this is for the best Yes I know how to Party! Why can’t everyday be a Friday? Let’s go out again Until Morning! Some of have that je ne sais quoi Salsa & chips & a margarita Kiss these lips in my cave if you dare Touch the man with incredible hair! Here’s a book that reminds me of YOU! French Secrets, parlez vous? Ever do it on the grand piano? I know the right notes. Let’s go! Now my confidence is earth shattering I got a raging hubris Imagine walking down the street eating a corndog with judgement I was a dweeb, no one listened to me Now my story’s getting published They eat every word, like flies on a turd Thank you for being impressed. Yes I know how to Party! Why can’t everyday be a Friday? Let’s go out again Until Morning! Some of have that je ne sais quoi Salsa & chips & a margarita Kiss these lips in my cave if you dare Touch the man with incredible hair! Here’s a book that reminds me of YOU! French Secrets, parlez vous? Ever do it on the grand piano? I know the right notes. Let’s go!

Wild Frontier 04:12

Let's get in the car and find our destination Let's go to the boss and turn in a resignation Tired of the bureaucrats and the bad contracts & the reply backs That's that, let's rip up the map and go hard on the gas If you try to tame me There's so much you're gonna need You can't stop me I'm so thirsty for anything new Let's get in the car and find our destination Let's go to the boss and turn in a resignation Tired of the bureaucrats and the bad contracts & the reply backs That's that, let's rip up the map and go hard on the gas Soon you'll have to decide Are you ready for this ride I can't slow down There's so much for me to see & do with you Wild Frontier Distant Lights Don't Think Twice Drive Baby Drive Wild Frontier Let's get off Don't Think Twice Please never stop I know where we can stay We can stay there for days Try to catch me if you can Are you a lucky man? Let's get in the car and find our destination Let's go to the boss and turn in a resignation Tired of the bureaucrats and the bad contracts & the reply backs That's that, let's rip up the map and go hard on the gas Wild Frontier Distant Lights Don't Think Twice Drive Baby Drive Wild Frontier Let's get off Don't Think Twice Please never stop
