Pressing 02:14
You'll never know what's going on You tried to once but you said you got too fucked up Hear you're trying it again, don't you love to press your luck You'll never know what's going on Something inside tells you you're wrong It's been festering for far too long

i am a washed up ham, but not the kind you hope for on a desert island when yer stranded and yer own flesh starts soundin' sweet i'm a lump of coal, but not the kind that quenches that steam engine's soul when yer travelin' without movin' yer feet there's no need to go on about it just from lookin' it's already clear yer gooseflesh is what brought you here i may be a broken record since i ain't been runnin' around though you'd like to think so why did you do it, why are you here you know it's not worth it, what's blockin' yer ears too many questions, never enough time i'm goin', i'm gon' to where the waters just wine
3.
lotsa people been botherin' me sayin' what you told them and me just doesn't agree if talk is cheap, then what are we? hows about we see somethin' less than free c'mon, don't lie to me about sailin' through leave before mornin', come back in spring back & forth, summer / fall what will winter bring with you gone don't bother me with how long keep sailin' through leave, love. leave love. &keep sailin' through

Land Lubber 02:50
Why don't you write me anymore? You used to sound so nice I could hear your voice any time I'd like I made that suffice Were you just passing time? It only goes to show, I should take your advice and leave it alone Who was right? I was coming on strong as if you're leading me on You were right. Well it's gone now, baby This is so long then, baby It won't happen again
5.
I'm goin' to Polynesia To see a pretty geisha Who knows just how to place ya Such an easy rider Then it's back to California Don't say I never warned ya My traveling companion left me after Ireland You must think I'm talking way too loud I'm only tired of you guessing why I'm proud There's only one way to go Down I've been trying to defeat ya, but Death it's good to meet ya Been hiding under bleachers Where the dirt tastes like it should Now do your woods boast 100 acres? Host honey belly-achers? Painting trees won't help relive an empty childhood One last time to Carolina The grass is always finer Sure hope that I don't find her with a suitcase in her hand (Sure enough I found her) But you'll need water for to wake her I already tried to shake her The painted trees had thanked her like a sacrificial lamb If she's gone to meet her maker put a suitcase in her hand
6.
Coffee at midnight, bourbon by noon Been chasing the moonlight, how about you? You said you'd be leaving, won't you tell me how soon? Two months of island breathing left you eager to swoon When I recall your smile all I see is what was spent I used to dig your style now it fills me with regret Just to think I could have always been your pet Through endless revision I'll mean what I say I know what I'm missing, you won't go away So it's coffee at midnight and draft beer at noon Been drinking the moonlight, it's always empty too soon

There There 01:10
There came a time where I wanted to die There there
8.
I was lost Too tired to sleep, too hungry to eat Along came you Admirably blue, hiding tongue in teeth I asked your name, you said hey that's lame I said 'Hey That's Lame' how do you do? You asked the time, is that your only line What a strange way to meet you Don't look back now, we haven't come that far I still care to ask how your day was A few new things day after day We probably shouldn't do all that much I thought you'd lie in bed 'til 2 I thought you'd lie there with me, too Imagining you & me: a perfect disaster Your face is white Your hair is, too What ever happened to you? I thought you died I thought you dyed your hair blue
9.
No Nothin' 02:43
Try and stop me, I'll be leavin' today A seven year inch worm no longer in yer way Said there'd be 9, but I only count 8 Never enough, at least the clouds can relate Found somethin' new on the back of my hand I don't even know me and I'm my own biggest fan Return the favour, cut me some slack Can't move forward when every way is back "I'll level with you when you leave me alone" is the same way of sayin' "I've no use for a home" When life shits it hits everyone until you don't even want it around Time will tell you time and time again What doesn't hurt you will kill you in the end
10.
i'll tell you all about it just as sure i'll probably shout it but i'm bringing my baby back home i told you i ain't playing and there ain't two ways of saying there ain't no use in trying to ignore so leave that worried mind at the door i've got time outta mind, pockets full of pride and not much left to say i wish you very well and i'll see you in hell here's to hoping it's on judgement day extra! extra! read all about it i broke my own heart and got nothing out of it i guess that's just the way the story goes times are always changing and some thoughts need replacing there ain't no use in trying to ignore so if you want me i'll be waiting for more i've got time outta mind, pockets full of pride and not much left to say let's go to hell together, we can tell satan "god got in the way"

Beyond yer years yet over the hill Just cuz I won't don't mean no one will, they will Still yes, there are worse things in life than never being someone's sweetie I don't expect you to expect anything from me What's more to know? Those younger girls spoiled my soul Love can be cruel I'd rather have no one than you Yer hiding tears, I know how you feel but the heart is never for to steal If I told ya once, then I told ya twice The truth can't always be told nice I don't expect you to expect anything from me What's more to know? Those younger girls spoiled my soul What's it to you? I ain't the reason yer blue I don't need to be told I know you always reap what you sow Love can be cruel The one I want but can't have ain't you

Gin Mills 02:35
a maritime merchant marine with 7 brothers twice as mean while on a ship he fell from ladder-top broke his hip they compensate him to this day still he moved to the west coast to sue for better pay he left his wife and kids for L.A. now he spends his time getting drunk on another's dime the gin mills keep his dreams at bay i once went to visit him but he just peaked at me through the blinds 10 years have passed still no reply they say his well ran dry that's all it took to blow his mind copacetic diabetic no veins; all shot away it's the only way he found to ease the pain

"Many Americans suddenly sick in foreign lands must get the same childlike yen, like Wolfe suddenly remembering the lonely milkman's bottle clink at dawn in North Carolina as he lies there tormented in an Oxford room, or Hemingway suddenly seeing the autumn leaves of Ann Arbor in a Berlin brothel. Scott Fitz tears coming into his eyes in Spain to think of his father's old shoes in the farmhouse door. Johnny Smith the Tourist wakes up drunk in a cracked Istanbul room crying for ice cream sodas of Sunday Afternoon in Richmond Hill Center" --from Jack Kerouac's "Desolation Angels"
