Backwards Waterfalls

He runs into work puts his feet up on the desk
And he runs all the way back home
He buys a little something then he saves up all the rest
After paying off an old bank-loan
At least he's not in poverty no more
That wolf no longer howls outside the door
At least he's not in poverty no more
That wolf no longer howls outside the door
He writes boring songs they're so boring you could die
If you listen to them on you're own
He sings them in a cage that they built beneath the stage
At the local open microphone
At least he's not in poverty no more
That wolf no longer howls outside the door
When day breaks dreams quake back to dust
Stops and starts hopeful hearts boom and bust
Break right over walls
These backward waterfalls
He sits on the couch with his life in his mouth
On a disconnected telephone
Wisps of conversation drifting through off-dial stations
On a nonexistent radio
At least he's not in poverty
That wolf no longer howls outside the door...

Hawaiian Lightning

Hawaiian lightning
Calamity bell
Seek shelter down the drain
Feeling frightened
Post Enola Gay world
In the helter-skelter rain
We're not safe and we never were and we never will be
We're not safe and we never were and we never will be
Oh gee (orgy)
I'm watching Youtube
I'm not reading no book
About an emperor from Ancient Rome
He was a stoic
He was never a sook
Unlike those of us who stay at home
We're not safe and we never were and we never will be
We're not safe and we never were and we never will be
Oh gee (orgy)
Behind the beach in the scrubs with the snakes and dogs
There lies a man in the sane with his soulmate frogs
He has a plan to destroy all the houses there
When he walks into the pub they just say hey there friend
Hawaiian lightning
Flashing over the sea
It's a thousand miles away
My chest is tightening
I need a lavender tea
No mushroom cloud today

Won't You Come Back Home

I've been waiting for the phone to ring
I'm pottering, I'm stuttering
Staring at the leaves in the driveway
Some stay, some blow away
Aw... Betty won't you come back home
I need you near
Awwwwww Betty won't you come back home
It's lonely here
Another year another tear
Been tryna get my feet back into top gear
Another day passes away
And now I know just why you say you couldn't stay
I've been drinking too much alcohol
It's in my brain it's in my soul
I've been popping these white pills
They numb the pain they fill the hole
I've been thinking about yesteryear
Getting high and drinking beer
And all the times I coulda said something kind
And now I can't rewind
Aw... Betty won't you come back home...

Booth Street Psychosis

Karen's building castles out of mud
Amongst the tradesmen in their high-viz clothes
Their bood's making stains
On these rusty chains
And we still don't know
Which way the cross-winds blow
But don't be scared
It's all a show
Jack Johnson's bootlace wasn't fair
Feeding fat to livers of the goosey-goose oh yeah
Something's pain is another's gain
But we can't be sure
Just what's the reason for
Oh be scared
We won it all
We won it all
We want we want
We won it all
We won it all
Jill makes love with dinosaurs
In the middle of a false-flag revolution
Whistles blow
I got visual snow
And I just don't know
Where do all the goers go?
I just wish I would know
I stay so low
I want I want
I want just to know
MMMMMMM

We watch the full moon fall in the ocean and drown
We watch fortune come away, never stay, roll around
From the station watch the main street crawling in cars
We got so high watching people get lonely in bars
Coz we got so much to do
We just roll on
On a Tuesday night party night
Another lifetime or two
As we hold on to everything and nothing at all
Oh getting older
Oh getting older
We watch Jackie and Jilly and Billy and Bob
At the party where everyone's getting fucked up
We're playing Creedence and music from last century
In the good days, dancing so wild and free
Yeah we had so much to do
And we'd roll on
On a Tuesday night party night
Another lifetime or two
We'd hold on to everything and nothing at all
Oh getting older
Oh getting older

Bartender can I take a seat
i'm tired of standing on these feet
Hey there can I ask your name?
This life is breaking us the same
So play on Sweet Dream
So play on Sweet Dream
Of Mine
When I wake from my sleep
I have to laugh so I don't weep
I feel my heart is breaking up
I guess that's the price of waking up
