Painting Days
01:16
|
|

Came unglued again
All my wishing was in vain
The reasons why escaped sometimes
I'm foundered in my room
Paintin days are gone
All my toils and I've moved on
No pride, no shame, still know my own name
And that you love me still
Oooh

Otis Run

Extol in the rising sun
Feign to have done no wrong
But this boy, he's from Otis Run
And he's fettered deep by the devil
He prays, God should quell his fate
On this road, unfamilar face
So come, all good Christian men
Don't take Otis Run from him
Oh, Maddie Rose says she wants me to
Come lay down with me tonight
Starve the candlelight
Oh won't you be my own
Won't you hold me til we die
Extol in the rising moon
In the malady of a lullaby
And the moss strums the hymn of his loving death
Oooh
So come, all good Christian men
And all fearful songs of hate
His ghost, whispers loving ways
In the bottoms of Otis Run
Oh, Maddie Rose says she wants me to
Come lay down with me tonight
Starve the candlelight
Oh won't you be my own
Won't you hold me til we die
Oooh

Swing low, Jasper Turnbow
It's a long march back from hangman's rope
If you get low, low, low
Patriots die at sunrise
As the chicory burns in the fire's light
If you get low, low, low
Sign me up, send me over the mountains
And down through the valleys, to the south's cotton kingdom
It's well worth my body in the ground
Stay low, Jasper Turnbow
It's a long way back from where you'll go
If you get low, low, low
They'll turn you down off of Culpepper's bridge
Where moonlight leads the fallen home
It's not too late, we'll hold this line
And find our way back home again
Then they yelled all get down, all get down
For your treacherous wiles, we will cast a speedy trial
And with bastions sieged, we've bled you wicked thieves
It's the price for the lives, of the free yet torturous plight, of the south
And I will say, that "he loved with conviction"
That "with shells all around us, he braved the broken lines"
That "his love, oh his love, it saved us all from the south"

Breathe out, hadn't a chance to forget you yet
But only the lonely need something to hold on
Stand straight, you tried really hard to complete the words
That only the lonely have ever been kin to
Deep thought, show me the meaning of all that surrounds
Why only the lonely have ever been lied to
Hold fast, hold for that moment when all that surrounds
And only the lonely find beauty not contrast
Breathe in, morning has come, night's not a stranger
I've asked him here, please don't go, please don't go
Breathe in, all that surrounds, making us strangers
We've tried this once before, it didn't work out the way we were told

Brazen Tarts

Brazen tarts and broken hearts
Amass my empty bed
Alone in my bed again
With noone to call
Drama queens and hometown dreams
Left me far behind
At odds with my plight again
And I'm losing ground
All at once a chorus sings
Our folly called a show
"We'll be back soon, all in good time"
Football stars don't play guitars
Unless they're wanting to breed
A hovel of jilts perform
A vain comic gag
Proper nouns and make-upped clowns
And bowties spinning like tops
A frenzy of mouths parade
But not making sense
All at once a chorus sings
It's foolish, but it works
I don't know where to go from here
But stop me please from making you laugh
