The WerewolfVer letra 3:25

[X]
letra de The Werewolf
Milwaukee man led a fairly decent life

Made a fairly decent living, had a fairly decent wife

She killed him. Ah, sushi knife

Now they're shopping for a fairly decent afterlife

The werewolf is coming

The fact is most obits are mixed reviews

Life is a lottery, a lotta people lose

And the winners, the grinners with money-colored eyes

Eat all the nuggets, then they order extra fries

The werewolf is coming. (Extra fries)

The werewolf is coming. The werewolf's coming,

the werewolf's coming, yes, the werewolf is coming, Joe

I hear her howling, prowling on the hill

The werewolf's coming, Bill

Ignorance and arrogance, the national debate

Put the fight in Vegas, that's a billion dollar gate

Revenue, pay per views, it should be pretty healthy

The usual deductions, then it all goes to the wealthy

Still, the werewolf's coming

Yeah, the werewolf's coming

I'm not complaining, just the opposite my friend

I know it's raining, but we're coming to the end

Of the rainbow, the lyin' and the spyin' are through

Oh, you don't know me?

OK, I don't know you, too

The werewolf's coming. Werewolf's coming, oh

The werewolf's coming, and a werewolf's coming

The werewolf is coming, Joe

I hear her howling, prowling on the hill

The werewolf's coming, Bill

You'd better stock up on water, canned goods off the shelves

And loot some for the old folks who can't loot for themselves

The doorbell's ringing, could be the elves

But it's probably the werewolf. It's quarter to twelve

And when it's midnight, and the wolf bites

It's a full moon, she really got the appetite

The werewolf's coming

(The werewolf, the werewolf.)

The werewolf's coming

(The werewolf, the werewolf.)
WristbandVer letra 3:17

letra de Wristband
I stepped outside the backstage door to breathe some nicotine

And maybe check my mailbox, see if I can read the screen

Then I heard a click, the stage door lock

I knew just what that meant

I'm gonna have to walk around the block if I wanna get it in

Wristband, my man, you got to have a wristband

If you don't have a wristband, my man, you don't get through the door

Wristband, my man, you got to have a wristband

And if you don't have a wristband, my man, you don't get through the door

I can't explain it, I don't know why my heart beats like a fist

When I meet some dude with an attitude saying "hey, you can't do that, or this"

And the man was large, a well-dressed six-foot-eight

And he's acting like Saint Peter standing guard at the pearly...

Wristband, my man, you've got to have a wristband

If you don't have a wristband, you don't get through the door

And I said "Wristband? I don't need a wristband

My axe is on the bandstand, my band is on the floor"

I mean it's just...

[Scat]

(Wristband)

(Wristband)

(Wristband)

(Wristband)

(Wristband)

(Wristband)

(Wristband)

The riots started slowly with the homeless and the lowly

Then they spread into the heartland towns that never get a wristband

Kids that can't afford the cool brand whose anger is a short-hand

For you'll never get a wristband and if you don't have a wristband then you can't get through the door

No you can't get through the door

No you can't get through the door

Say you can't get through the door, no

Street AngelVer letra 2:08

letra de Street Angel
My heart goes out to the street angels

Working their way back home

My heart goes out to the street angels

I saved my change for a street angel

Working his way back home

I had this exchange with the street angel:

"Nobody talks to me much

I said, nobody talks to me much

Nobody."

So he says

"I make my verse for the universe

I write my rhymes for the universities

And I give it away for the hoot of it

I tell my tale for the toot of it

I wear my suit for the suit of it

The tree is bare, but the root of it

Goes deeper than logical reasoning

It's God goes fishing

And we are the fishes

He baits his lines

With prayers and wishes

They sparkle in the shallows

And catch the falling light

We hide our hearts like holy hostages

While hungry for the love, and so we bite."

Working his way back home

He's working his way back home

Took him away in the ambulance

Made away with the ambulance

He waved goodbye from the ambulance

My heart goes out to the street angel

Stranger to stranger

If we met for the first time, this time

Could you imagine us

Falling in love again

Words and melodies

So the old story goes

Fall from summer trees

When the wind blows

I can't wait to see you walk

Across my doorway

I cannot be held accountable

For the things I do or say

I'm just jittery

I'm just jittery

It's just a way of dealing with my joy

It's just a way of dealing with my joy

It's just a way of dealing with my joy

It's just a way of dealing

Words and melody

Easy harmony

Old time remedies

All in good time

Although most of the time

It's just hard working

The same piece of clay

Day after day

Year after year

Certain melodies tear your heart apart

Reconstruction is a lonesome art.

But I love to watch you walk

Across my doorway

I cannot be held accountable

For the things I do or say

I'm just jittery

I'm just jittery

It's just a way of dealing with my joy

It's just a way of dealing with my joy

Just a way of dealing with my joy

Words and melody

Stranger to stranger

If we met for the first time, this time

Could you imagine us

Falling in love again

Still believing

That love endures

All the carnage

And the useless detours

Oh I love you, I love you, I love you

I love you, I love you, I love you

I love you, I love you, I love you

I love you, I love you

Love you...

Words and melody

Easy harmony

Words and melody
In A ParadeVer letra 2:19

letra de In A Parade
Some nights the ER is quiet as an EKG

But tonight it feels like every broken bone

Tonight it feels like every wounded soul

Is filling out a form or on the 'phone

I can't talk now, I'm in a parade

I can't talk now, I'm in a parade

Can't talk to you now, I'm in a parade

I can't talk now, I'm in a parade

Diagnosis: schizophrenic

Prognosis: guarded

Medication: Seroquel

Occupation: Street Angel

I drank some orange soda

Then I drank some grape

I wear a hoodie now to over my mistake

My head's a lollipop

My head is a lollipop

My head's a lollipop and everyone wants to lick it

I wear a hoodie now so I won't get a ticket

I write my verse for the universe

That's who I am

I can't talk now, I'm in a parade

I can't talk now, I'm in a parade

I can't talk now, I'm in a parade

Can't talk to you now, I'm in a parade

Diagnosis: schizophrenic

Prognosis: guarded

Medication: Seroquel

Proof Of LoveVer letra 5:44

letra de Proof Of Love
Begin again, no easy trick

Without a guide or walking stick

Begin before the bells of twilight peal

Downhill town, the road ahead

Spiral, as a serpent's head

A teaspoon of desire for my meal

I trade my tears

To ask the Lord

For proof of love

If only for the consolation

Of gazing at the stars above

Amen, amen, amen

The road is steep

The air is thin

I hear a voice inside my skin

Don't be afraid

Your days won't end with night

Feel the sun

Drink the rain

Let your body heal its pain

Bathe beneath a waterfall of light

I trade my tears

To ask the Lord

For proof of love

If only for the explanation

That tells me what my dreams are made of

I ask the Lord

For proof of love

Love is all I seek

Love is all I seek

And when at times my words desert me

Music is the tongue I speak

Silent night

Still as prayer

Darkness fills with light

Love on Earth is everywhere
In The Garden Of Edie 1:48
The RiverbankVer letra 4:09

[X]
letra de The Riverbank
Frightened by the tone of a 'phone in the dead of night

Then staring into darkness and praying 'til the morning light

The price already paid, a son gone to the grave

Now the sorrowful parade to the riverbank

Must be half the county come down to the riverbank

High school is closed, same for the local police

Shall we tearfully embrace, shall we sing "Amazing Grace"?

Will the shallow river waters bring us peace?

Army dude, only son, nowhere to run, no one to turn to, he turns to the gun

It's a cross, it's a stone, it's a fragment of bone

It's a long walk home, a long walk home

Gonna be a long walk home from the riverbank

Is there any reason why the black pine should not weep?

Is there a woman or a man who wouldn't understand why he could not sleep?

And the nightmares when they came, like poison to the brain

Reminded him again life is cheap

Army dude, only son, nowhere to run, no one to turn to, he turns to the gun

It's a cross, it's a stone, it's a fragment of bone

It's a long walk home, a long walk home

Gonna be a long walk home from the riverbank

Army dude's mama at the edge of the river

Limp as a rag, American flag in her arms

Then a triangle of light kissed the red and blue and white

Along the riverbank, past the dealerships and farms
Cool Papa BellVer letra 4:02

letra de Cool Papa Bell
It turns out to be

A great thing for me

I don't worry (and)

I don't think (because)

It's not my job to worry or to think

I'm more like 'everyday I'm here I'm grateful'

And that's the gist of it

Now you may call that a bogus, bullshit

New-age point of view

But check out my tattoo says wall-to-wall fun

Does everyone know everyone

Mr. wall-to-wall fun

We got the well, well, well

And Cool Papa Bell

The fastest man on Earth did dwell

As Cool Papa Bell

Motherfucker!

Ugly word!

Ubiquitous and often heard

As a substitute for someone's christian name

And I think 'yeah, the word is ugly, all the same'

Ugly got a chase to make

It's not like every rodent gets a birthday cake

No, it's 'you're a chipmunk, how cute is that?'

But you, you motherfucker, are a filthy rat!

And well, well, well

Is it true Papa Bell?

That the beauties go to heaven

And the ugly go to hell

Cool Papa Bell?

(Let the tubas cry!)

Have you all heard the news?

'Heaven finally found!'

Okay, it's six trillion light years away

But we're all gonna get there someday

Yes, we're all gonna get there one day

But, but not you!

You stay and explain the suffering

And the pain you caused

The thrill you feel when evil dreams come true

Check out my tattoo!

It says 'wall-to-wall fun'

Does everyone know everyone

Mr. wall-to-wall fun

We got the well, well, well

And Cool Papa Bell

The fastest man on Earth did dwell as

Cool Papa Bell

And you're never gonna stop

Never gonna stop, never gonna stop

Never gonna stop, never gonna stop

Never gonna stop, never gonna stop

You know, you know you

Are never gonna stop, never gonna stop
