Crooked Road 03:18
Last man on earth with nothing to do Wish I could see the sky so blue Empty streets at the end of the day I’ll wait around til you come my way Look out baby Don't go down that crooked road Something shady Don't go down that crooked road The children here they laugh and they play Sign on a lamp post shows a runaway Flashing lights from the top of some stairs But i’m no fool i ain’t goin up there I'll keep my head, I can't do no more You're the only one I'd let in my door Lookin up as I walk down this lane I’m struck by lightning inside my brain

A friend told me I think you know about him I’m thinking it over and you just smile I am not worried I’ve seen it all before Given time you’re gonna walk all over me Won’t let it wash me away Not gonna change my mind Let it begin Everybody knows you can do voodoo with your eyes Nice try, Emily, nice try 2: I was driving slowly I saw an eagle soaring high He’s leaving his worries and so am I It’s raining lies They leave me standing here Remembering times how it felt to fly so free I’ll fly from the cage Not gonna waste my time Fighting the wind Everybody knows you can do voodoo with your eyes Nice try, Emily, so fine Everybody knows you can do voodoo with your eyes Goodby Emily, goodbye

A long time ago when dreams filled the air The storm came in, it took us unaware Some times were hard, some times were really rough But soon we had to say we’d had enough Hope to see you I’d be thrilled to see you We came so far let's heal those scars Hope to see you I’ll be glad to see you We've been through enough And I hope we see it through 2: We dug everywhere searching treasure We dumped it here I seem to remember It was late at night, we felt so uptight Everyone is gonna know when we make things right Hope to see you I’d be thrilled to see you We came so far forgive those scars Hope to see you I’ll be glad to see you We've been through enough And I hope we see it through

Look around this old town Not much left anymore There’s only one open store Sirens scream chaos reigns supreme The big wheels say this is a war Paramilitary police Guarding every door I don’t have to feel sad, got my friends they live in my head I won’t be sad or feel bad, long as I got these friends in my head Shifty eyes that paralyze They make their way through the crowd We’re all on edge one foot on the ledge But talking is strictly not allowed Someone sneezed and we all freeze That freak’s got something up his sleeve A voice said to stay One said get away Another told me to keep calm When it all went down it came out wrong Someone screamed he’s got a bomb Now they’ve got me on the floor I wonder how it all ends They tell me things, these friends in my head Don’t take away the friends in my head I don’t have to feel sad While I’ve got these friends in my head.

Ready set go, lets begin with some crazy New Age choir Later on we continue with raging political fire, your man’s a liar I’ve been dreaming, I’m thinking ‘bout leaving In a little while, in single file I’ve been wrapped up in losing conversations For a long long time Spreading some truth gets you nowhere why even try Somewhere deep in a canyon they’re shouting incredible lies while I’m high and dry I’ve been dreaming, I’m thinking ‘bout leaving In a little while, in single file I’ve been wrapped up in tired interrogations messing up my mind I've been thinking ‘bout the truth now Never losing track It’s cause and effect now Forever going back No one believes in cutting any slack Living beside someone’s madness; it’s a terrible grind Taking a chance is part of living it can bring you hope A little peace of mind. I’ve been dreaming, I’m thinking ‘bout leaving In a little while, in single file I’ve been looking for polite conversation Getting hard to find. I’ve been dreaming, I’m thinking ‘bout leaving In a little while, in single file I’ve been living with a slight hesitation It’s getting hard to smile.

Slow Push 04:13
Last seven days all late night shifts He locks the counter and goes home Someone’s at the back door, can’t tell who it is His fragrant sinsemilla sets the tone It’s a slow push for him once more Slow push down the trail He’s lookin’ for some heaven goin’ door to door Some dreams get lost in the mail Keeps stepping out, smiles from ear to ear Sometimes he sees beyond the pale When he talks to himself his voice isn’t clear It’s like a hammer to a nail The slow push of his life The slow push of this life
