Cat been gone
Cat been gone
Most of the night
Down the street
Or in the neighbor's backyard
Well we don't really know babe but its alright
Cat been gone
Cat been gone
But he'll be home soon
Cause he know's we need him
He know's we feed him
He just wants to spend some time with the moon
Day is done
Day is done
Honey let down your hair
Don't tell me
In 24 hours
We all ain't got a little time to spare
Day is done
Day is done
I don't know what we did
Just forgot for a little
About growing old together
For now we are young, for now we're just kids
Earth will grow
Earth will grow
When I finally plant some needs
Been meaning to get
In the backyard
To water the cactus and pull out the weeds.
Earth will grow
Earth will grow
With or without human beings
And I don't need to know
The name of a bird.
I just want to watch the sun through her wings.

Lyla's Love

Watch out now you've shown your colors,
Looks like you want to hurt my brother.
I will not wait or hesitate to show you my teeth.
I am not the shoulder you cry on.
The hug you hope for. The daughter you die on.
I'm not afraid to take my blade from its sheath.
I am your protector in the dark of the night.
I will do so whether its wrong or its right.
When I'm gone and no longer by your side.
You will still not know the meaning of my love.
I know you want to but you just ain't gonna be able to figure out the meaning of this here love.
Yea you raised me. Sent me to school.
Bathed and fed me and wiped up my drool,
But I've long been your elder and honey you know it to be true.
You say there's another (Toto). Say he's your friend.
Call him your baby. Go on pretend.
You may have gone and gotten him. But we all know there's only one who gets you!
I am your protector in the dark of the night.
I will do so whether its wrong or its right.
When I'm gone and no longer by your side.
You will still not know the meaning of my love.
Well you can scratch your head till it bleeds but you won't be able to know the meaning of this here love.
You count time. You got doors that lock.
You know how to sing and we all know you can talk.
You can write your name down but you don't even know your own bones.
Me, I see the sunrise while I sleep.
There ain't no memory my nose don't keep.
I can hear you calling from a mile away and hell no I don't need no phone.
I am your protector in the deep dark night.
I will do so whether its wrong or its right.
When I'm gone and no longer by your side.
You will still not know the meaning of my love.
You can try but what really is the meaning of this here love?
When I pass and your feet get cold.
When all my blankets have been bought or sold.
Well your heart, it may fail you, and your ears, they may ring.
Don't you fret don't you worry none.
You just weren't meant to figure out this one.
You are just a man baby and your brain cannot explain such a simple thing.
I will still be your protector in the dark of the night.
I will still know when you do wrong and when you do right.
And though I'm gone and no longer by your side.
You will still be able to feel my love.
If you have any sense at all well then the one thing you're gonna remember is the meaning of this here love.

NUKES (Some Folks)
04:02

Some folks have gardens, they help them grow.
And they eat the meat from the seeds they sow.
That sounds nice, don't you think?
Some folks have gardens, me, I'll just have a drink.
So I think I'll have another drink and go pass out in the yard.
I'll sleep real deep and I'll dream real hard,
Right where that garden could have been.
Yes I think I'll have another drink once more, one more time again.
Some folks have nuclear weapons, they got their arms.
And they laugh in flames as others would come to harm.
All those bodies, they stink.
Some folks need weapons, me, I just need a drink.
So I think I'll have another drink and go pass out in the sun.
I'll get me those rays of radiation,
Just like those people who got it bad.
Some folks have weapons but that ain't nothing I've had ever have needed to have had.
Some folks have secrets they aim to keep.
And they ain't never had a good night's sleep.
They may be clever. They may be cool.
Some folks have secrets, let me tell you I ain't nobody's fool.
So I think I'll have myself a nightcap. Maybe two. Maybe three?
And I'll sleep real deep with no dissonance in me.
And when I wake up I feel like shit.
Some folks have hangovers but we all get over it.

Our Country Song

The king is on the chair,
While the children play around.
The king is on the chair.
Come on children lets lie down.
Where are we?
We are home.
And we can sing our country song.
The kettle's on the stove.
Wait until you hear the sound.
The kettle's on the stove.
Baby turn the lights down.
Where are we?
We are home.
And we can sing our country song.
