Homecoming 02:45
Homecoming Like a mad man on the run I’m leaving this job half done Two thousand miles I’ve come Being chased by the morning sun There’s something about the highway That makes a man feel so alone Goodbye whiskey nights and lonely days Baby I’m coming home Late night country diner like motor oil in my guts Dust and road behind me And a beat up old Mac truck I got one eye on my top speed You know smokeys got a brand new gun Good bye motel nights and lonely days Baby I’m coming home Kansas keeps on rolling Colorado got me climbing up Utah is watching every move, Until the flash of Nevada From the desert to the high sierras Down to the bridges of the bay area Hello city lights I’m on my way Baby I’m coming home

Flies 03:30
Flies Staring down the bottleneck The fruit flies gave up their lives for it Should I wash it down or pour it out Some for the fallen spilled out on the ground How many roads can a man walk down when he’s piss drunk and staggering home I can’t be trusted to be left all alone Stumbling through the kitchen, Rummaging through the fridge Fell down in the bathroom, Woke up the kids Now everyone’s crying, screaming and fighting I used to be a good man, now look at me now How many lives can a man bring down Before his freedom is taken away I can’t be trusted with loved ones in vain Staring at an old brick wall She’ll come pick me up after one phone call The neighbors will hang their heads silently Save a seat at the end of the bar for me

I Forgot 03:29
I Forgot Ever since I was a young buck I’ve staring into space Born to good fortune filled with tough luck Uninspired and displaced I swear I remember you from somewhere A distant name, familiar face Please remind me one more time, I’m living life lost in a daze I just forgot, I just forgot You may think that I’m an asshole but I’m not I didn’t mean to put you on the spot It’s not that I don’t care I just forgot Riding a tornado down the interstate It’s so comfortable and strange A dozen lifetimes on my book shelf, I haven’t even turned a page I’m an honest and hard working man, can’t afford to act my age Hours turn to days fade to months into years It’s safe to say that it’s not just a stage I just forgot, I just forgot, you may think that I’m an asshole but I’m not Lately I’ve been feeling quite distraught, it’s not that I don’t care, I just forgot Never mind those drunken promises, they just haven’t yet arrived I never asked to be a part of this, just along for the ride I just forgot, I just forgot, you might think that I’m an asshole but I’m not I drink too much and smoke a lot of pot, it’s not that I don’t care, I just forgot

Low Love 04:35
Low Love Love me on the low, It’s best that no one knows We can never be alone Be careful nothing’s ever shown Your shoulder must be cold Wear a poker face of stone If you want to make it home You’ll have to let it got Love me on the low Ghostly lipstick bleeding goodbyes on a glass Secrets in a bottle whisper a message from the past Sea sick with envy for insatiable lust A lovely bullet wound from a lovers smoking gun Woe is she Love me on the low, It’s best that no one knows We can never be alone Be careful nothing’s ever shown Your shoulder must be cold Wear a poker face of stone If you want to make it home You’ll have to let it got Love me on the low Meet me in the ally under the veil of night The cloaking of a rainstorm guided by the dim streetlight Shivering silhouette longing for an embrace My shadow will appear with a kiss upon your face

Buyin, Bi By and Bye The Circle keeps on turning Bye and Bye, Lord Bye and Bye There’s a better life awaiting In the sky Lord in the Sky There’s a hole in the bucket, there’s a hole in the ground The rats are scrambling up the mast, the ship is going down So long, farewell and thanks for all the cancer You dirty rotten scoundrel lying bastards So get in your automobile and join the parking lot parade Or slowly turn to dust and bones just waiting for the train Either way you’re going nowhere fast so c’mon and take a seat And bask in the glory of the screen The Circle keeps on turning Bye and Bye, Lord Bye and Bye There’s a better life awaiting In the sky Lord in the Sky The city is a cesspool abandoned and corrupt Strip malls, suburban sprawls the land of Chinese junk So lets all drown in alcohol and smoke holes in our lungs Numb from wonderful prescription drugs There’s poison in the water and feces in the beef Mutant vegetables and Franken-chickens with no beaks There’s slut and jocks and cops and bums Lots of religious freaks Teething on the tits of lady libery The Circle keeps on turning, Bye and Bye, Lord Bye and Bye There’s a better life awaiting, In the sky, Lord in the Sky Oh, me oh my why oh why? I don’t want to go outside Into the oil fields on fire and plastic island in the Gyre Bring on the wasteland robot zombie apocalypse ‘cause it’s obvious we shot and missed that’s it so raise your fist and break the circle The Circle keeps on turning Bye and Bye, Lord Bye and Bye There’s a better life awaiting In the sky, Lord in the Sky

April Fool 03:48
April Fool Smile and nod, there’s nothing wrong It’s just a rain cloud blowing by It’ll all work out somewhere, somehow On the day after you die So just close your eyes and dream of paradise Ignore the nightmare right outside The count’s 0 in 2, so what can you do April fool the Joke’s on you Worn out sneakers on your feet Kickin’ a can down the street Passing all the people you don’t wanna’ meet It’s not fair but it’s true so whistle me a tune April fool, the joke’s on you Drowning in whiskey you drink to your old friend But there’s no punch line at the end Try and play it cool, but you were born to lose April fool, the Joke’s on you So sing a song and carry on we’ll remember when you’re gone I once was lost and now confused April Fool, the joke’s on you
