Key never fit the lock, but hey man, that’s alright I got these 6 strings to strum for you a tune, this one’s for you Things have gone from bad to worse Am I that demon keeping you up at night? I got this ten spot if you can prove me wrong, sing it to me, c’mon Things have gone from bad to worse Did I lose some ground? Wore my welcome out? If so, take me out back and shoot me old friend Take me in the yard and bary me then, old friend Lost in space and frantically spinning among the stars We got a pretty little minute then a funnel down into the void Paranoia destroyed Things have gone from bad to worse Did I lose some ground? Wore my welcome out? If so, take me in the back and shoot me old friend Take me in the yard and bary me, man, Old friend... Couldn’t care less if you think this one runs too long The repetition might serve some damn good in the end Rules can be bent Things will go from…. Did I lose you now?

The Buzzman 04:17
Cracks of the pines As soon as the moon’s on the rise Where they coming from nobody knows Could be a ghost An echo of the mind That’s dying to tune into you Hungry for the excuse...on a whim Somebody put out the fire There’s footsteps in the sand They’ve come for the buzzman They wanna know, where was he sent from? So catch a buzz, man… Combing the beach they’re gonna find Just how well he gonna hide Praying that he goes unfound But the hounds caught scent and they’re Hell bent on the command Sniff out the buzzman Where they coming from, nobody knows, but they’ll win Somebody put out the fire There’s footsteps in the sand Come to feed a desire Shakedown the rocky strand Have they come for the Buzzman? They wanna know, where was he sent from? Have they come for the Buzzman? Have they come for the one they call the Buzzman?

Juxtapose 03:36
There could be coal There could be gold or a diamond In the soil for the mining beneath the grave Gonna sift and clean Cause there be a cave or a canyon A room with a fortune would ease up the day Weekend come and a cocaine run Drawn to the song The Sirens hum Begging the change With a petty post you could juxtapose Happy photograph and sadness note Go on, again. Underneath your feet There could be pearls Don’t care if we’re a mile from the ocean We’ll burrow on with the hope we may escape the maze Weekend come and cocaine run Drawn to a song the siren hums Begging the change With a petty post you could juxtapose Happy photograph and sadness note Go on Singing “Grace, too” by the fire, folks run down they’ve found their sound to admire Brain drain down on you Mountains climb and stand every hair in the room, band... Plays on Plays on My neck is sore from the night before Brought to the knees from a kittens roar Go on, again Write your petty post just to juxtapose Happy photograph and sadness note Go on...

Roses in the sky Oh, pretty roses.

Brave little babe Veer away from the road Defy what they prescribe No soul knows in the end A melody for you and all of your days Lay and rest your head child Sing to you, Livie Pray for you life comes easy Livie, be lovely Be a guide for the grieving Time waltz by On and on you go, we go Weekend spent in the pines On lake time, we sing and our love grows Baby, smiles for you in the morning Livie, be lovely Be a guide for the grieving A melody for you and all of your days Lay and rest your head child Oh, a sunshine bright on my horizon Livie, be lovely Be a light for the broken Livie, be lovely.

Days go on and still Heart beats on with a love sick churn Like a landslide hugging a hill Striking a match just to watch it burn Ghosts crawling the streets of London It’s been in the news, It’s been in the news, It’s been in the news Ghosts crawling the land, uh-huh City slickin’, come on So your story goes Wasted highs and hurried souls They never finalized rights of man Only spread some war or burnt some coal Ghosts crawling the land, uh-huh Caught in a storm. We were warned. We were warned. Ghosts crawling the streets of London City slickin’, come on For you, beautiful I’d sail the seas and move the moon For you, my sweet girl I’d pave your road in solid gold Ghosts crawling the streets of London It’s been in the news, It’s been in the news, It’s been in the news, Ghosts crawling the land, uh-huh City slickin’, come on City slickin’, come on City slickin’, come on
