  1. 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.)

  2. WristbandVer letra 3:17

    [X]

    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

  3. The Clock 1:02
  4. Street AngelVer letra 2:08

    [X]

    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

  5. Stranger To StrangerVer letra 4:33

    [X]

    letra de Stranger To Stranger

    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 ParadeVer letra 2:19

    [X]

    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

    Occupation: Street Angel

  7. Proof Of LoveVer letra 5:44

    [X]

    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

  8. In The Garden Of Edie 1:48
  9. 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

  10. Cool Papa BellVer letra 4:02

    [X]

    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

    Chi-kow-bow-chika
