1. The Werewolf3:25

   Letra

   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.)
2. Wristband3:17

   Letra

   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
3. The Clock1:02
4. Street Angel2:08

   Letra

   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
5. Stranger To Stranger4:33

   Letra

   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
6. In A Parade2:19

   Letra

   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 Occupation: Street Angel
7. Proof Of Love5:44

   Letra

   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
8. In The Garden Of Edie1:48
9. The Riverbank4:09

   Letra

   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
10. Cool Papa Bell4:02

    Letra

    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 Chi-kow-bow-chika
