Pick a pack of peppers
Bake yourself a pie
Mommy’s in the kitchen
Daddy’s in the rye
But I’m running down the street with holes in my shoes
Headlights, streetlights, trying to get away from you
Tip-top, click-clock
Up around the corner
Up around the corner
My body’s getting warmer
Jerry, Jay, and Stevie
They’re down in the blues
Come on back, break that cap
There’s enough for every one of you
Sitting in the park
Without a fucking clue
Of how or where or when or what
I should do
And I’m wondering how to get myself to you

Born Running

Someone told me a long time ago
That the world ain’t flat, it’s square
But in the meantime between then and now
Danny, well he just didn’t care
So now you know
Without a shadow of doubt
That 2 by 2 by 2 ain’t four
With all this fussing, screaming, shouting
You know I just can’t take it no more
We’re born running
Chris and Dan were old friends
But they don’t come around no more
We’ll buy a house, we’ll shout out hoarse
But we didn’t even crack the door
So, uh-oh, see Chris he’s coming running
Yeah, he’s hiding and he’s sliding away
He can’t deny it, he try to fight it
But the feeling is staying
He’s born running
So look around
What am I looking for?
He’s coming down the alleyway
Poking and a-peeking for Paul
Watch out! He’s feeling so excited
On the escalator in the mall
But through the crowds it’s getting louder
With the pounding down on the floor
I couldn’t help it, I started laughing
Just watching you hide in that store
I couldn’t help it, I started laughing
Just thinking about that endless chore

Stars and Streams
03:41
|

|
It’s the stars and the streams
It’s the lights and the beams
And I know it’s never exactly as it seems
It’s them hot, dusty roads
Banks of a river froze
And I’m following you, I’m watching you from below
And I don’t care where you’ve been
I don’t know the sense
Of spending my worrying
On your crying
I know you’ve got to go
You got yr’ ducks in a row
They’re calling you
So just go
I can’t hardly speak
The birds, the stars, and the streams
I can’t believe the city’s trying to match the country peaks

Sit Around That Table
01:42
|

When the family gets together
You know we’re gonna pull
When the family gets together
It’s not a family until the table’s full
We sit around that table
Drinking scotch, drinking wine
Sit around that table
Do it again another time
We’ll sit around that table
The days are in rewind
Sit around that table
Yeah, I guess I’m feeling fine
And I know
You gotta go
You gotta go

I Wanna Know
02:36

|
I wanna know what’s that feeling
It’s that feeling that you give to me
Is it real?
Or is it just some thing that you made up for me?
I hear you talking
See you walking
Don’t you think you look so fine?
I ain’t listening
Ain’t listening
You won’t make up my mind
You won’t make up my mind
I won’t mix up my lines
I ain’t got that time
I ain’t got that time
It’s the end of yr’ line

The Promise

I promised you baby I won’t have another drink
But it’s happening now
I swear I won’t have another drink
But it’s happening now
When I saw you the other night
Baby it just didn’t feel right
So my hands are shaking and my feet aren’t faking
And I’m giving some leave-taking
I’m taking cuz it’s just a problem that I’ve created
When I said it that other night
Baby it just didn’t feel right
Oh baby, can’t you see
Oh, you’re killing me
Come on in
Start at the beginning
Let’s get in
Another drink before it ends
I told you once, I told you five times
I ain’t going outside
I’m gonna stay inside
I’m gonna drink until I die
I’m gonna drink this bottle ‘til it’s dry
And when I put it up on that shelf
Well, you know, there ain’t gonna be nothing left
Oh baby, can’t you see
Oh, you’re killing me

Too Gold
02:24
|

|
Your shadow, your very best part
I can see it in the morning
I can see it in the dark
It’s golden
Summertime
Boys playing in the park
Summertime
And we’re all just playing our parts
I’m folding
But when you feel that rain come down
And hit you in your face
You claim
You claim it’ll happen anyway
But when you feel that rain come down
You better
Get on your knees and pray
You pray
You better pray it goes away
Face frozen on the edge of a smile
In the car
Driving miles
And miles
We’re rolling

There’s been some times
We shouldn’t a had more
Like that time we found Davey
Laying on the bathroom floor
Fell on that floor
Naked as you’d sleep
Fell on that floor
We got him back up on his feet
When you’re with my family
It doesn’t matter what you do
Because my family takes care of you
When you’re with my family
It doesn’t matter what you say
Because my family loves you and your way
But you gotta get out that door
You gotta go
You gotta look for what’s more
