Troutdale 03:20
lyrics
buy track
Do you know why This months gone so slow I’ve got nothing to do I’ve washed all my clothes Take me to Troutdale Handsome driver Coasting along, turn on Halsey street I’m out of reach I can’t keep Somethings got a strong hold over me I’ve got a secret love in a bear trap Sleeping there til I make it back He laughs at everything Been driving weekends since spring Worked at a warehouse Said fuck it I’ll make my own hours Passing water Driving slower Dropping me off He said can you swim Rapid cuts me, now I am away Rapid cuts me I’ve floated away I have a secret love in a bear trap Sleeping there til I make it back

Looks Like Fire 04:05
lyrics
buy track
Speed through the snake-shaped bridge Face of metal with triangle eyes The city project delights College mothers, the hippy types Exit through the rattle into the puncturing sun Violet are the rocks in the desert yards, there are no lawns Brake for the train, I wait Golden hour is upon us now I can see a metaphor In reflections of pothole pools Yeah it’s so profound I’ll write it down when I get home While listening to Patsy Cline in the bath through the night This dusty town’s Army base shoots mystery lights They sink behind Landscapes, they look like fire It’s pink and grey and it rains It’s the image they all write about The color of cowboy art Sold at fairs by the knitted scarves And dream catchers and incense Burning in-between the tarps Labor day weekend Brings local shoppers and their city kin This dusty town’s Army base shoots mystery lights They sink behind Landscapes and they look like fire For miles and miles they fall Green glows the boulders bright We’re so hypnotized By desert zen we pay no mind

Monty 03:55
lyrics
buy track
She drinks Sanka in the afternoon Or when she’s feeling different Rides around on Monty The horse she bought for her daughter And she sings praises to the lord Yeah, she sings praises to the lord Down to one cigarette, she smokes with her one drink And old-fashioned with brandy And an orange that swims around the ice block Then she dances to the moon Yeah, she dances to the moon Haystacks to the sun Loose straw blows away Wind spinners turn Like the day before Monty is her love They ride to the line That borders the town And wraps around their still life Kaleidoscope tapestry Her daughter bought in Milwaukee Keep it in your room she said It doesn’t match the farm aesthetic There’s nothing for you in the city There’s nothing for you in the city Haystacks to the sun Loose straw blows away Wind spinners turn Like the day before Monty is her love They ride to the line That borders the town And wraps around their still life

Your Room 04:05
lyrics
buy track
Sprawled on your chair your feet are On the wall Talking of mother trouble In grounded days Hey you know there’s something about your room The way the light hits dust in afternoon Let’s turn your bed around, to windows facing east Before the record fades and we lose all steam Magical sight your joint glows On the roof Floodlight is getting hazy She’s home too soon Hey you know there’s something about your room The way the light hits dust in afternoon Let’s turn your bed around, to windows facing east Before the record fades and we lose all steam

Pace of Space 03:16
lyrics
buy track
Change up the pace of space Maybe then time stays the same And I could mull it all Over, catch the wall lace my shoes again Stars and the moon, I am Waiting on your beams to send Me back to my bed Wake up and forget The dark where I’ve been I’m walking through wild Spirit land Pacing in time With hawks and hens Oh you’re a real mixed bag No real need to understand You fly at night Dead in the light Weed changes your mind

Kitchen Window 05:41
lyrics
buy track
She caught her neighbor's eye Through the kitchen window She wanted not To reach another mind His glass is full of barley wine He rocks in a chair made of alder In a room so still Like an Edward Hopper Scene from a dream He goes back to his paper She sweeps the porch at dawn Dog ears agreement four Pays for meditation Green juice and exercise Eons Eons and eons ago He sat in a different room Back bent feeling the sweat on his head There in the stillness of June More clouds It’s all different now She hopes that it’s not just a ruse

Judy's House 04:38
lyrics
buy track
Dropped off and Judy’s house Summer break of '96 I found a place where I could crawl Behind the bed through the wall The cool mold air Serene and all mine In my age of losing out From my station in the wall I’d launch Into the air, my jet spirals in the wind They say you’re too young to fret, calm down The same summer I nearly drowned And I couldn’t channel in The big wide space So I counted up my sins Then Judy saved my life She put a gate around the pool In my age of losing out From my station in the wall I’d launch Into the air, my jet spirals in the wind They said you’re too young to fret, calm down No power lines in my way Travel vessel of steel Crawl inside before countdown Now everything is close and real In my age of losing out From my ship inside the wall I’ll sail To jungle islands with maps to hidden gold They said you’re too young to fret, calm down I’m all the way up, there’s no one around I can float all the time I’m all the way up, there’s no one around I can float all the time I’m up in the air, there’s no one around I can float all the time

Before My Time 04:34
lyrics
buy track
Your vision can’t be true It’s too sad to think that it can Your basement’s a bunker Cleared the food off the shelves Folded up a bill Turned it around said can you see it now You went through a portal Spit out then went to the bar You feel the rays on your face And it burns, it burns you up Your relics not glass it’s plastic Your shoes, they’re untied The poem you wrote, you lost me I guess it’s before my time Ancient and holy are you until, til you explode I’ve been like you just once I saw the trees were more important than me Then I felt lighter And oh so relieved You feel the rays on your face And it burns, it burns you up Your relics not glass it’s plastic Your shoes, they’re untied The poem you wrote, you lost me I guess it’s before my time Ancient and holy are you until, til you explode Fell too deep New rooted voice you have And it carries you from where you came from Welcome back To your friends with stretched out arms Nothing moves Silence you return to
