Clementine

In a cavern, in a canyon, excavating for a mine
lived a miner 49er and his daughter, Clementine
Drove the ducklings to the water
Every morning just at 9
hit her foot agasinst a splinter
fell into the foaming brine
Ruby lips abobe the water
Blowing bubbles soft and fine
But Alas I was no swimmer and I lost my Clementine
In my dreams, she still doth haunt me
in those garments
soaked with brine
in life I used to love her
now she's gone, I draw the line
Oh my Darlin, Clementine
you are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry,
Clementine

Poverty, Sovereignty, who told you what you couldn't be
I'm gonna be a Fire Engine
If I ever grow up
Gonna Blast my siren engine so loud and so clear-'You had better get out of my way
I'll be so bright so fast my wheels won't touch the ground
i'll save all the babies and everyone will say I was so brave
Easy living
Two words together i can't believe in
I'll keep Jesus in my heart'and do what ever I can
The things that I can do are to
keep on breathing
and get out of bed everyday
I can wash my hair answer the phone take out the trash
and make that part that doesn't want to live
go far away
I know I know I know I know it won't be easy
I know I know I know it's never fair
Can anybody helpmehearmessay
Sometimes all it takes is a little prayer
Call up 911
It's going down under the happy sun
this isn't how i wanted to ride
inside
a Fire Truck

Dumb Girl Song

In the pocket of my coat in my Mother's house in Kansas
There is a thing Ive never told a soul about
You gave it to me and I kept it ever since- used to be afraid to show it around
I was your secret friend, used to feel special then. Beautiful and mysterious, didn't know the secrecy was because
you'd be embarrased
I wrapped it up in this old piece of newspaper so
it didn't look like anything i cared about
It's just a chain you found in the road
used to wear it underneath my shirt and never took it out
chorus
We were gonna grow up and I was worthy of your love
I couldn't figure it out
What was so bad about it?
In the pocket of my coat in my Mother's house in Kansas
There is a thing I never told a soul before
a maudlin of a mess of aspirsions in a little town
I don't even like to think about it anymore

innocnece forgotton, innocnence lost,
Joey died on the front line, lived his life just in time
he came home in a body bag, His Dad still gets drunk and braggs
'Bout a HERO
innocence forgotten, innocence lost
18 with a draft card
Leavin home was not as hard as
Flying through a fire firght and losin' track of wrong and right
LIKE A HERO
innocence forgotten, innocence lost
He watches his neighbors at night He writes it down he writes and writes
McCarthy's on the wall
They're all Reds- ONE AND ALL
LIKE A HERO,
innocence forgotten, innocence lost
They built statues in hallowed halls
They put the names on the walls
Did they ever put any effort in
To make sure it never happens again
LIKE A HERO

There's a girl on the street
She's the one I want to meet
Looks at me like a cand store
I know you're a candy whore
She buys me another drink
i don't know what to think
She looks me in the eye
Now I think I know why
Easy
She needs me
After another beer shw moves really really near
She puts her hand on my thigh
I think I know why
I take her to my house
She takes off her blouse
Suddenly I hear
Exactly what I fear
HI HONEY IM HOME EARLY

Talk about your mid life crisis
Your defeat at the hands of fate
You wish you opted for a different life style
id help your friend but it's way too late
I dont care- Ireally really Dont care
Tals about your socail commitments Your devotion to the greater good
Helping People
So important
You'd find the time if you only could
No I don't care- I really really don't care
Talk about your social injustice
Prolieration of inequity
As you climb into your BMW
You have my unemitigated pity
I dont care
no I reealy really Dont
I dont care

There's a little girl in a Sunday dress
Always her Sunday best
I'm her Sunday guest- Only on Sundays
chorus- Sometimes I wonder why I try, Until I look into your eyes. You're the reason why I try. When I look intoyour eyes the sun comes out and shines. You're my reason why
There's a little girl with shiny shoes
She's dancin away my blues
Little girl with the dirvish whirls
They turn my world
chorus
There's a little Girl with a bow in her hair
She's dancin around without a care
As sure as I'm standing here- i wanna be there
chorus
There's a little girl that wants to play
Each and every day
Wego to the park on Sundays
Swing Swing our cares away
chorus

Way out in the West you see
We all live free
6 guns on our hips spurs on our feet
I wanna be a cowboy thats my dream
Riding into the sunset on the silver screen
I want to ride free range High noon drifter
I want my 6 shooter to shoot 7 times
Round ups and cattle Drives
Little Doggies
Sittin high in the saddle
It's the cowboy way
Downon Front Street
It's a high noon scene
Good Guys wear the whitest hats Ive ever seen
The fastest on the draw
That's the Law
Boot Hill is full of second best
Get of Dodge

The trouble with darkness is-it's disgused as light
Curosity rages. Half truths cover lies
From the darkness, there's a light. Let the light shine. I can see it-I can feel it resounding in my soul
Out of the darkness there's a need. Let the light shine for you and for me
Out in the darkness- all you need
is one small mustard seed
In the struggle with dark and light - darkness can not overcome

silent sound over Israel
The trumpet blows
When the lamb opens the 7 seals there is the word
Silent sound
from the 4 corners there is no wind
Silent sound for one half of an hour
7 trumpets blow and blow
Silent sound
for 1000 years the headlless reign
Second death
the serpents downfall
there is no wind
Silent sound over israel the trumpets blow...
Silent sound for 1000 years

Hunger and Greed
Bigger wants and needs
How long has it been since you could tell the difference between
I never turned away I don't have to do I'm sorry
I never turned away I will not turn away from you
Rhyme and reason they change with season
I never siad that I would ever start to make sense
I never turned away I don't have to do Im sorry
I never turned away I will not turn away from you
Knowledge and truth
What have they got to do
I sat around the house today some gettng stoned with some wine and some ludes

Fair Game

I saw. You shot that Bird. I saw it hit the sand
I never saw you take your aim when I found my heart bleeding in your hand
Fair Game for you
Let me hold your face in my hand
Kisses float above my head
All the love we spent in my sheets
All the smoke swirling around my bed
Fair Game for You
Feathers lighting in the air
Flying into the danger zone
bullets echo in m yskin and everywhere
You thought you could take me for your very own
guitar shredding.....
