death is a warm glove
love's not pure and love is sweet
love's insecure and love is need
love’s not dope you cannot smoke it
love was hope before I broke it
love’s not a rose you cannot pick it
it’s not a hose you cannot lick it
death is a warm glove once it fits you can't take it off
love’s not a boot
you cannot wear it
live is good
but I can’t bear it
love’s not pure
and love is sweet
love’s insecure
and love is need
death is a warm glove once it fits you can't take it off

black bird / black rain
hello it’s you I’d like to meet
I feel like talking to somebody sweet
what would you say to me
if you could speak
or would you even sing
I’ve been waiting for you
I could not sleep
kept my window open
for you to see
come in and pour your sunshine over me
it’s coming down like rain
water come
& wash away the light
wash away the night
wash away the rain
so can I borrow
your blackbird eyes
even though you got no
eyelids to hide
your feather wings
so I could fly
fly if I wanted to

keep it vague
you turn away from me
one of us always will I always knew
we failed to kiss away the pain
& now we can't be true
you turn away from me
I turn away from you
that’s how it goes
I’m sure you always knew
I stole your smile
I sucked it in
and could not bring it back
not even on my face
no use for it
just dropped it into black
I stole your smile
I could not bring it back
I left a hole
and filled it up with lack
keep it vague

bastards of utopia
our dogs are called fame and fortune
our eyes are blue & red
the bastards of utopia
sleep in a flowerbed
they sleep with both eyes open
they never sleep at night
their red eyes shine like darkness
their blue eyes shine with light
we use our minds to travel
we use our coats to fly
the river of our loneliness
never will run dry
because our brothers hate us
& we hate them again
sometimes we give our dogs a hug
& cry like real men
you better shoot when you find us
this is what we need
you better shoot when you find us
we'll be ready to bleed
the bastards of utopia
a bunch of gentle souls
their voices sweet as gasoline
their humor bright as coal
their song is like a secret
that you don't want to know
& when they go to heaven
they go by u.f.o.

"Grizzled, aching and enigmatically poetic Folk Rock!”—THE ROCKING MAGPIE
"There’s
substance, originality, & cleverness at work here. I admire how these people take something that already exists traditionally & reinterpret it with their own ingredients to create something truly effective that resonates. This record is straight whiskey. Tom Waits would be proud."—AMERICANA HIGHWAYS
