Headed To The North The engine growls under­neath my feet in time with the road and every beat, of my heart takes a seat. Rid­ing along those gravel roads, the dust ris­ing high and every­one knows, I’m sure that it shows. I’ll ride through the night and into the day until that time that I find you, Heard every­one say, you’ve enjoyed your stay, so far away, and I just want to, Let you be, but that’s not like me, to leave you alone and let you cry, know that I try, no I don’t lie, no I don’t lie. Rock bot­tom bot­tom bad­aba, Rock bot­tom bot­tom bad­aba, Rock bot­tom bot­tom, I am headed to the North. So I’m run­ning ever­long like a pack of wild dogs to the sun, the bright-shining sun, Keepin my eyes down on the road through the patches of ice and falling snow. I know that she’s there I feel her stare through the radi­ant glare of the snow­blind, I’m watch­ing her move so grace­ful and smooth inside of the booth and she feels fine, She takes me away, turns night into day, says come out and play, lets out a sigh, She knows that I try, she knows I don’t lie, no I don’t lie.

Tidal Waves 03:46
Tidal Waves Tidal wave con­nected thoughts align me with the moon, Watch out of the water for reflec­tions of the dunes, See your face in lower light and let it fade away, As the rip­ples in the water mis­lead and decay. What unseen exo­dus… Waits now in lower land? Thoughts across the ocean are never crys­tal clear, You were never in my hands but I’ve always been here, How demand­ing to break apart the answer through sta­tic and delay, You sim­ply have to lis­ten close there is no other way! No more is the Atlantic the giant it used to be, Back when prophets wan­dered through the moun­tains of Galilee. But mod­ern com­mu­ni­ca­tion is so eas­ily mis­read, As mes­sages from another realm, as con­tact with the dead!

You Are Not Alone Do you remem­ber the first time that you saw the morn­ing light, Break­ing through the ever­greens blind­ing but a wel­comed sight After days out in the void, the seem­ingly eter­nal night, Through the smokey rocks we rose into a world so new and bright. Do do do do do do do do, You are not alone, Do do do do do do do do, The stars they are your home, And far away it is, I want you to know… That you are not alone. Some­times when the moon hangs low I like to stare into the sky, And dream about the world that was back before our lone­some flight, I do not expect you to know, You dont accept the com­pramize, But even through all the noise, you and I are still alive.

Red Bird 04:06
Red Bird You’re flut­ter­ing from rooftops wait­ing on the world down below to come up to you. But the houses they are sink­ing, now the world is start­ing back anew. You know that its just smoke and mir­rors that makes the water look clean and good. There is blood down in those rivers, hid­den by the shad­ows in the woods. Our guns can’t out­wait them, So the red bird flies. Our souls can­not save them, So the red bird flies. Through the wind and the waves, The bird flies on, his love holds on. Through the count­less days, The bird flies on, and he holds on. You’re lookin through the papers, but they dont tell ya any­thing new. You’re look­ing for some infor­ma­tion to help you fig­ure out what to do. You know that your read­ing doesn’t help with a sin­gle thing, You closed your eyes to the out­side world cause you dont know what it brings.

Prairie 03:17
Prairie Take me down to the grassy plains where I’ll, Learn to for­get my name and I’ll, Run bare­foot on the grass and I’ll, Never know how long I’ll last because, The wind will whisk me away in a, Tor­nado some fine day with the, Sun shin­ing in the dirt, And I can’t help. I don’t know, I couldn’t ask for more, If there was any­more ’round here. Oh honey I can’t tell, But hell we might as well, See what this place has in store. Fin­gers crossed in my right hand that I, May cross this dusty land as I, Look for a lit­tle house, A set­tle prarie house and I’ll, Talk to my plain ole wife and I’ll, Tell her ’bout my bor­ing life. We’ll, Sit together on the couch and, won­der what to talk about.
