What Happened to US
04:07

You used to hang on every word that I said
You used to stick to me like glue
But now I’m sleepin in the downstairs bed
Setting fire to the red, white and blue
Inch by Inch
Step by step
Disappear in the crowd
See you wave me away
Leave me wondering
What happened to us?
We used to sit in darkened rooms holding hands
You call me Indiana Jones
But now that worldview doesn’t fit into your plans
You had enough of skull and bones
And inch by inch
Frame by frame
Disappear in the sun
See you fading away
Leave me wondering
What happened to us?
Inch by Inch
Frame by Frame
Losing faith in the power
To sway you my way
Leave me wondering
What happened to us?

Day of the Locust
04:31
|

When the sun goes down on the party
Leaves without a shadow of doubt
We must finish what we started
Good sense or good manners all around
Shall we all fall together?
Or shall we all live as one?
Shall we all fall together?
Or shall we all live
In the day of the locust
people would gather around
it was crude, but it was focused
chase that fugger right out of town
Shall we all fall together?
Or shall we all live as one?
Shall we all fall together?
Or shall we all live as….
One

I was born in ’29
the Great Depression
in the heart of the dustbowl
in a tiny little town
and my Dad worked in dry goods
Ma was a tailor
they came over from Hungary
when hunger was all around
and at one time I’d have been Mickey
and today I would probably be
Juanito
Cause there is nothing new under the sun
my son
there is nothing new under the sun
Made my own way through school
learning first do no harm
and that’s one rule to live by
I’d say it works like a charm
made my way to the greatest city
locked eyes with a dream
across a garden party rooftop
a woman of some means
and it’s 50 years I’d never give back
no, not even one
Now there is nothing new under the sun
my son
there is nothing new under the sun
Lost my Ma in ’48
Dad in ’63
Lost your mother in ’08
come the day you lose me
remember nothing comes from nothing
so take something of me
keep your mind
your humor
and a wonder of all things
while there’s no use denying
that you’ll keep right on trying
to roll that stone up the hill
remember there’s
nothing new under the sun
my son
there is nothing new under the
nothing new under the
nothing new under the

House in the Country
03:33

Everyone should have a house in the country
Everyone should have a place to go
Everyone should have a house in the country
Call it their home away from home
Everyone should have a house in the country
Hop on in let’s go let’s go let’s go
Everyone should have a house in the country
A place that nobody knows
Surrounded by my family
Friends will come on up to visit me
Bearing flowers and a bottle of wine
Ain’t that bouquet so fine
So fine fine fine in my house in the country
Everyone should have a house in the country
Four walls and a place to lay my head
Everyone should have a house in the country
Where we can get a little rest
So if someone comes lookin for me
Tell em I’ve gone where I’m gonna be
Spinnin tall tales and my favorite LPs
Oh yeah I’m gone gone gone
So gone gone gone
Yeah I’m gone gone gone to my house in the country
Everyone should have a house

Patriot's Day
03:22
|

He says "Leave your bag with me"
Although I must admit I don't know how
You did so easily
And you say "What's this world to me?"
When we're powerless to change
What is plain enough to see
Winds roll through and blow the smoke away
Ice floes melt and give their charge away
Down they go to be found out one day
And i say "Take this sum of me"
Although I must admit I don't know how
It's spent so easily
Dress me up in my fatigue
And say there was a time, we stood our ground
And promised to be free
Running, riding thru the night and day
Here they come better steal yourselves away
Trace the path that led us to our
Patriot's Day
And we say "what’s become of our dream?"
When we can offer up a willing hand
It comes so easily
Tides will rise and wash this all away
Suns explode to form another day
Til then can we raise the voice we found on Patriot's Day

Wide Awake
04:54

Wide Awake
And I should be sleeping
But I’m scared that faith
Is the only thing I’m keeping
Watching shadows
Watching shadows
As they dance across the room
Wide Awake
And your skin needs shedding
But there’s no forgetting
That a snake is still a snake
Counting hours
Counting hours
As the clock light
Lights the still dark room
Come back soon
While I’m Wide Awake
While I’m Wide Awake
Wide Awake
And I hear your keys turning
But your engine is burning
This time returning
Will take more than faith
Tasting teardrops
Tasting teardrops
As they roll down my face
I’m Wide
Wide Awake

Not My Problem
04:40
|

Lock the door and throw away the key
I ain’t bedding down with another Vivian Lee
Not My Problem
Go on home and read your Bell Jar
But if you want me to follow along
Maybe I ain’t prepared to go that far
Not My Problem
I heard it said a thousand times
“Yeah, she’s a little crazy…”
But you’ve gone the extra mile
Now I gotta get extra far away
Even if this was all laid out on your Ouija board
It’s your hands that did the pushin
Now I got to cut that psychic cord
Not My Problem
Well are there bats in your belfry
Loopy as a loon
Out to lunch and left the lights on
Better be coming home soon
Not My Problem
I heard it said a thousand times
“Yeah, she’s a little crazy…”
But you’ve gone the extra mile
Now I gotta get extra far away
Disappear into the crowd
Cover of night
Musta been out of my mind
Now that you’re out of my sight
You’re not my problem
Heard it said a thousand times
I heard it said a thousand times
That you’re not my problem

Get Ready

Get ready
Get ready
People get ready
Here comes the end….
May come with a bang
Or hardly a whimper
A slip on the ice
Or adrift in a skipper
And all we can do until then
Is love….
And if we do, well then, let them speak of
The proof is in the treasure
Ready
Get ready
People get ready
Here comes the end…
New Age prophet holding signs on the corner
Turn up the air, it’s getting hot in here
The rattling of foundations and nations
Prepare, the hour is near
Get ready
Get ready
People get ready
Here comes the end…
And all we can do until then
Is love, love, love
And if we do, well then, let them speak of
The proof is in the treasure
