Woodpecker

Woodpecker

I wanna dance to the beat of a woodpecker.
He don't got any rhythm but damn!
If he ain't got the right idea.

She wanna love me and I wanna let her.
So she can't be too smart but damn!
If she ain't pretty as hell.

I wanna sing harmony to a cat call.
He couldn't sound any worse but damn!
If he don't give it his all.

She wanna be my wife and I can't tell her no.
I ain't ready to stop movin' but damn!
I got no place to go.


I wanna dance to the beat of a woodpecker.
He don't got any rhythm but damn!
If he ain't got the right idea.

Now she wanna have a little baby.
I used to be a rolling stone but damn!
If I ain't always at home.

Mannequin

Mannequin

She lays in half on the dirt
Propped up for all the world
I can't even cover her up
And I wouldn't if I could
She stands headless and not to sure footed
She could have stayed where she was and she should have
She's surrounded by decay but shaded by life
She stays out all day, she stays out all night
She holds a neon sign in her hand
It says 'Open' but it may as well say 'I Can'
She never raises her voice above a whisper
And even then it's more than hard to hear her
She's fenced in, out in the open
Your only pushed back every time you move in
And she stands on a soap box so you can see
She ain't nothing like you or me
Some say she;s beauty, some say she's sin
But I just know her as my sweet young mannequin

Some say she's beauty, some say she's sin
But I just know her as my sweet young mannequin

Do Or Die

Do Or Die

I hate it when my father cries
I hate it when my  mother cries
I hate it when my sister cries
Cause it's do or die

I hate it when my best friend lies
I hate it when my girlfriend lies
I hate it when my roommate lies
Cause it's do or die

I hate it when my father don't try
I hate it when my mother don't try
I hate it when my sister don't try
Cause it's do or die

I hate it when my best friend don't try
I hate it when my girlfriend don't try
I hate it when my roommate don't try
Cause it's do or die

I hate it when I don't try
Cause it's do or die

Wishful Thinking

Wishful Thinking

There's a window on my door and you know what for
So I could see the world outside
And if it looks real good I may turn the knob
And step out into the night
I'll walk around with my hands in my pants
Thinking bout my past and future plans
I'll think about love and music too
But I won't be thinking bout you

There's a window on my door and you know what for
So the world can see inside
And if it ain't to clear, I think I'll stay in here
And curl up by the fire
Maybe I'll read a book and make some food
Enjoy my time alone
Then I'll listen to a record or two
But I won't be thinking bout you

No I won't be thinking bout you

My Sunflowers

My Sunflowers

My sunflowers are narcissistic and I'm
Getting so sick of it
Always reaching for the light
They grow so tall and the shine so bright
Thought about cutting them and I just might
What is it they're trying to prove
Hummingbirds they love the taste
While I can't get a single date
I think they're starting to laugh at me
My sunflowers are narcissistic and I'm
Getting so sick of it
They make me feel like a total disgrace

But I'll wake up every morning
And hold my head high
I won't let those flowers beat me
I'll look em straight in the eye
and say nice try

Nice try

Sad Lady In The Sky With The Glowing Eye

Sad Lady In The Sky With The Glowing Eye

Lady moon is laying low.
Looking like she got no place to go.
I feel bad I can't help her tonight.
So I stare at her sad, sad glow.

Lady moon up in the sky.
Please don't let him see you cry.
Nothing is ever that bad.
And it all gets better with time.

Lady moon pick up your feet.
It's time for you to dance to a new beat.
The sun may seem so different.
But he's Just like you or me.

Lady moon don't be afraid.
His decision has already been made.
The sun has left the night behind.
While you always choose to stay.

Lady moon I been there myself.
Wishing they'd feel just how you felt.
So if I could give you just one tip.
Stop chasing the sun or you'll melt.

I Miss You, Love

I Miss You, Love

I miss all your funny smiles.
I miss the ways you caught my eyes.
I miss the house we used to dream about.
I miss the times you called my name out loud.
I miss you love, there is no doubt.


I miss the sheets we used to lay upon.
I miss the streets we used to travel on.
I miss the world we used to call our own.
I miss your voice on my telephone.
I miss you love, there'll be no other one.


I miss the hair you used to drown me in.
I miss the touch of your soft skin.
I miss the lips you used to bring my way.
I miss that sweet kiss every single day.
I miss you love, so what do you say.
I miss you love, let us be OK.
I miss you love, wipe these blues away.

Looking For Something?
