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 03:19
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 02:14
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
