Watch where you walk with that cake He's feeding you like a mouse to snake Watch where you walk with that cake He's feeding you like a mouse to snake. Oh! The tales that he gives with his sheepish eyes Must he entrance you with lies? You scoff and belittle my seasoned advice But i think you'll learn in due time. He tries reeling you in with those slick rims and wheels I pray you never give him that key Someday you will find in your heart what is real Someday you'll wisen up when you flee. When you flee When you flee.

Wednesday night oh so sweet My favorite night of all week Wednesday night so weak But somehow so sweet. You tell me that you'd rather find another delight Friday night Saturday night You tell me that you'd rather wait for Friday night Saturday night, but it's just your pride. You tell me that you're gonna go and follow your pride Take it for a ride, 'til you've been denied You tell me that you're gonna go and follow your pride Take it for a ride, 'til you've been denied.

Boys spoke just of in this farm town Of football and fast cars No melodies came from their mouths No chords from their guitars. With this pen, verse and song Can you sing with it, birds? Times I've dragged for so long Lost desert deprivation dryness of the words. My eyes still burning in this drought Of dust bowl clouds of wrecks Can paint and pad in this profound My slumber i confess. We sing. . .

You see me standing here with six hundred friends Seven hundred friends What a team. You say I'm loved by many here but oh to be just loved by one just loved by one should i dare dream? Dad said they built that well out there some 28 years ago Six hundred yards south of the fence with hot wire Now the years are catching up with the bottom of its flow Not much water left in there to put out the fire. Someday might i find Someday might i find Purity of kind Purity of kind. Someday might i find Someday might i find Clarity so fine Clarity so fine.

With your armies in your mind Do they make you feel so fine? Fake plastic for your gas But you do it for the cash Nah you do it for the cash! What will you tell your son On the day turns twenty one? Fake plastic for those trees You lost your time, you lost your ease You lost your mind, you lost the breeze.

In a desert without the book Could you still find your guiding light? Would you still know how to cook? Could you still face your mighty frights? Where is the light? Where is the light? Where is the light? Sometimes it's warm. Where is the light? Where is the light? Where is the light? Sometimes there's some. I've got friends, do you have friends? I've got friends, do you? I've got friends, do you have friends? I hope you care about my friends I hope to know it's true.
7.
Oh my poor friends, i know the trouble that you bring And oh to us ten songs our tongues will sing You walk on strings, you long for senseless things Why to foolish thoughts you daily cling? You wrap it with a bow Where did those drunkards go? It's broken, can you sew? Where did those drunkards go? See out in dark streets he sleeps inside a tiny box With dem shoes he only has one sock And in my heart i know he's happier than i Why, my friend, do you wish to deny?

Dear family dear friends, how much i've missed It's been five months, darn close to six And the east to the west Knows me as their guest. I miss you so much that it hurts me But I've learned many things on this journey I'd like to share them with you I'd like to share them with you With you With you. See their coke and their cake has got them in chains I hope they break it one day Their coke and their cake has got them in chains I hope they break it one day One day. Miss you mom and dad, I've got so much to tell I'm still out here 'cause these kids need my help Miss you mom and dad, I've got so much to tell I'm still out here 'cause these kids need my help My help My help. We sang some songs that night And the ones who came knew it so right.

Bring me a good book to read Let the words fulfill my needs Encourage the free Freedom of thought Thankful for the little things we've got. Bring me a microphone to sing These songs are my everything I'll sing along You'll sing a along Oh! How we love little song. Bring me a nice pen to write Powerful thoughts that ignite I'm running for Something that's more Songs that we sing day and night. I'll sing along You'll sing along Oh! How we love little song.

"They're Not Like You...the charm of an off-kilter, '50s sci-fi movie soundtrack in glorious rock 'n' roll. Think Roky Erickson and the B-52s with some good ole American grit.." - B. Simm, BeatRoute, Calgary, AB
