Western Township

Every Monday morning, as the dawn arrives
I can hear the thunder before it meets my eyes
And that loving feeling washes over me
And when the night does come, I feel a sense of defeat
Lie down on a Tempur-Pedic, hard to sleep when your head’s spinning I wish I knew what you were talking about
When you say it’s easy, earn your money
It’s a precedent I set, a lack of greed I hold myself to
A promise I can’t hope to keep as the clock ticks on and on
Standing alone at the precipice, gazing over the township
I claim it all as it is my right, all powerful under the sun’s light.

Prime
03:28
|
|
||
All down a shallow mind, peaceful and class-inclined
Turning the corner past your prime
Off to bed around a quarter to nine
Getting older, getting older, getting older I’m getting older, getting older, getting older
You tell them “it’s a waste of time going on about Palestine”
Wrote RESIST on a cardboard sign
Hung it in your yard but you don’t know why
Getting older, getting older, getting older I’m getting older, getting older, getting older
You enforce the law of the land without a single scratch on your hand You’ll get what’s coming to you

Down That Road Again
03:54
|
|
||
I made my way out to the country
Seeking out some peace of mind
Pray that my ears keep on burning as I pity the lonely kind
And I didn’t have a reason, wish I did, it was my right
Turning down that dark, old road
Driving back towards tainted light
I go down that road again
I could’ve wrote you off, friend
Placed my anger on a shelf
Thinking about it on my way home, I felt sorry for myself
I didn’t have a reason, wish I did, it was my right
Turning down that dark, old road driving back towards polluted light
I go down that road again I go down that road again

High Flying Man
04:07
|
|
||
Snow falls upon my beat up Ford
Turning to me you say “I can’t take it anymore”
Just past the grapevine, the road clears out
But my faith in you has turned to doubt
High Flying Man
High flying man in pain, how the trials of life drove you insane
You craved fortune and fame, but the God you love don’t even know your name
The God you love don’t even know your name
What you’re after, the life that you’ve led
Has found you tired and lonesome, fucked in the head
High flying man in pain, how the trials of life drove you insane
You craved fortune and fame, but the God you love don’t even know your name
The god you love don’t even know your name

Eagle Eye
05:02
|
|
||
There’s shattered glass all over the sidewalk
Something in my stomach don’t feel right
So I take the highway up the mountain
But it never clears my mind
Now I’m out in the streets and under the scaffold
Just trying to find a way to pass the time
And long before I become aware of it, my friend It’s 6AM and I’m going to die
Oh, my eagle eye.
And I said, don’t I remind you of an old horse well past its prime?
I’ve been ridden and abandoned, left on the roadside
Out of sight, out of mind
Now I’m a citizen bored of laughter
Out on the porch, sun in my eyes
And from the morning to the evening, my friend I ain’t ever going to tell you lies
Oh,
My eagle eye
And I said, don’t I remind you of an old horse well past it’s prime?
I’ve been ridden and abandoned, left on the roadside
Out in the cold and the dark
I’m cruising through the weekend
Trying not to put up a fight
And if there’s one thing I can depend on It’s my old friend, my shining light
My eagle eye
Oh, my eagle eye

Life's Blood
03:39
|
|
||
Heat it comes with the month of May
Sunlight raining down
A fallen peach rots into the Earth
It fell twenty five years ago
Melting upon Summer pavement
Hot as hell, oh you know
Another one is bound to fall again
Burning just as slow, thinking it won’t
By June, you’ve come to hate the sun
How it proves that you ain’t the one
You’ve lived your life just like a hit and run
Until it falls again
Life’s blood Red mud
A Highway Built for one

Exceptional Fabric

A sunflower, I walked past one every other day
Glowing bright in the sun, weeping low in the rain
Oh it’s a glorious sight
And in the evening, I hear it calling my name out
It bangs like a drum and the yellow calms my nerves down
Oh, don’t leave me alone
Green and yellow friend I’ll never bring you no harm
Patiently waiting for the morning sun
The night doesn’t hurt your but it ain’t no fun
When I wake up, I come to you
I
’m your favorite handsome fool

A Drop of Rain
04:40
|
|

Dancing in your mind
A face that you don’t recognize in the dark I state that it’s my right
To honor that which sets us apart
And coast to coast they say
Another day without a drop of rain
A disappointing miracle
Finds you at the end of your days
You were laughing as the world spun on and on
Rolling are the hills that occupy my mind with a sense of dread
Plight of the world weighs down me
But I love you more with each passing day
And coast to coast they say
Another day without a drop of rain
A disappointing miracle
Finds you at the end of your days
As it comes to pass
The siren sings on and on and on
Dwell upon the past year and see that what you love
Has up and gone away with the wind
And coast to coast they say
Another day without a drop of rain
A disappointing miracle
Finds you at the end of your days

Choose to Get High
04:47
|
|
||
Well I was down in the bathroom getting mine
Doing what it takes to get by
Now I’ve found myself in a manic state
You don’t like it but you can’t relate
As the waves keep crashing on me now
I don’t like it here in the back of my head
Over and over you tell me to “keep it light”
Your words always amount to nothing
First you give it then you take it away
The weight of the world falling on me now I choose to get high
So send your love by the mail
And you won’t get on
It’s funny how I waited so long
To tell you I choose to get high But I don’t want more
And you can write it on the wall
The lies that you know
But you keep coming around here for more If it’s all the same, I choose to get high
But I don’t want more

Give Me Your Money
04:11
|
|

I know a man with eyes like an angel
Bathed in silver chains, always got something to sell
Into the quarry, he sends his fellowship
“My will be done”, he commands of them
Singing, “ten thousand pounds of iron couldn’t hold my feet down, And I’d do it again, a thousand times”
Life ain’t easy down in that old coal mine
We met on the side of a Washington freeway
A sports car in a ditch, dying eyes with nothing to say
I spoke to him as a friend, soft and sweetly
I said, “What’s yours is mine, I’ll only take what I need”
I said, “A few hundred pounds of steel seem to have you held down” Killing everyone you know and love
Anything to make a quick buck
You sold your soul to a country that wants to see you stuck in the mud
Give me your money
