Lonesome Way 04:15
Come with me, come with me Come along with me In my lonesome misery Where everything I say Is painted blue and gray And the sun that’s burning red? Such a sun puts me to bed! In my lonesome misery Won’t you come along with me? ’Twas a joke that I told When I wasn’t all too old About a man who couldn’t see Near as good as me And I laughed then I smiled All those howling wolves of wild! They sang a song for me When I was just a child When the final page was turned Just before the book was burned Did you feel it down your spine Did you take it as a sign? That the end is always near And you’re always stuck right here! In such lonesome misery Perhaps I’ll come along with thee Come along with me In my lonesome misery Where everything I say Is twisted in some way And the sun that’s burning red Did you listen what I said? In such lonesome misery I am my own worst enemy

Oh, what a morning, oh, what a day Why won’t you come out to play with me? We’ll climb that big oak tree We’ll ride our bikes real fast And we’ll make the sunshine last Oh, what a morning, oh, what a day Why won’t you come out to play? We’ll take a walk Past our neighbor’s barn To that old graveyard Life don’t have to be so hard Through the window pane The scene is all the same But come outside You can feel the sun and taste the rain If you stay indoors You will likely go insane But come outside We’ll sing and play a fun, fun game Oh, what a morning, oh, what a day Why won’t you ever play with me? We could be so happy I’ll show you my new dance But I need you to give me a chance

Oh, the hillside is a sweet ride From the bottom to the top In the winter roads are slicker You slide down and you can’t stop Hear the bells of dear Old Central Ringing clear throughout the town See the freighters swiftly gliding See the bridge go up and down The wind howls, blows your hat off And the pigeons do a dance Pluck the breadcrumbs from your lunch box ‘Neath the street light’s sweet romance The little lighthouse on the pier Stands so solemn and alone In the winter when the tourists Have all left us and gone home The train whistles past the Lakewalk Up the north shore it does go Past the Fitger’s and the roses It chugs along so nice and slow I have read about that great Unsalted sea of majesty Oh, the storms and ships and people Oh, that lake has mystery Oh, the hillside is a sweet ride Overlooking that old lake Stop along skyline parkway How many pictures can you take?

[Chorus] 
Going south, south for the winter That’s what I’m gonna do next year Going south, south for the winter That’s what I say every year The old man, he is finally at rest He wrote his own obituary and it is the best He says, “Look at me now with my bulletproof vest,” “My mind is free but it once was possessed!” [Repeat Chorus] The old man, he is finally at rest He owes it all to the heart in his chest He says, “Look at me now with my bulletproof vest,” “I once owned my home but it’s been repossessed!” [Repeat Chorus] The old man wonders why they are upset They cry over his grave and try not to forget He says, “Look at me now with my bulletproof vest,” “Put a smile on your face, that’s my humble request!” [Repeat Chorus]

Don’t be a lazy fool of a boy! Share with your sister your favorite toy When the playing is done put your stuff all away Don’t put off for tomorrow what may be done today My mother said that ‘life’s a bitch’ Oh, and fuck it if she’s right! That don’t mean that everyday must be an endless fight Those jerks will bake a pie just to throw it at your face But you just take your finger Give a lick, how does it taste? (How does it taste!?) Not bad at all! No! Not bad indeed! Yeah, you can make some sugar from any type of seed It’s just the way you see it Your perspective, point of view Don’t do just what you’re told but what you’re really supposed to do (What does that mean? What does that mean!?) You can do it, you can do it! You can try real hard Take the bull by the horns and show ‘em who’s in charge! Give a hoot and a holler and just find a place to start The mainstream isn’t so clean Follow what’s inside your heart! When will you know about the flow? Or know which way to go? Or when to take a tow? Or abandon ship, so sick of it, the fog too thick to go What if the pipes they burst and see? Life hurts! Like everything is cursed?! Silly efforts done in haste, well if that’s the case You just take your finger Give a lick, how does it taste?

Rebel Robin 03:33
[Chorus] Rebel Robin, Rebel Robin, Rebel Robin She don’t take no shit from no one, no! She’ll make it up even if she don’t know Rebel Robin goes bop bop boppin’ Hip hop hoppin’ along the lane Rebel Robin she is kind of crazy Flip flop floppin’ loving the clouds and loving the rain Everything is just one stupid little game [Repeat Chorus] Hear her singing when the sun comes up Hear her singing when the sun goes down Hear her whisper a secret from afar The twinkle in her eye is the twinkle of a star She always rides her bicycle she never drives a car [Repeat Chorus] Hear her singing at breakfast time Hear her singing when the school bell ring Hear her whisper a secret from God above She’s got the heart of a lion and the wings of a dove And everyone say that she’s the one that they love [Repeat Chorus]

O Giver of Dreams Keeper of the Fate Of all the good things That don’t always seem so great From small speck of sand To the ocean and great mountain top The flame is ablaze It so burns and it turns and won’t stop A shrug of a shoulder Long and tired sighs Can’t see beyond the nose From one’s own eyes The days are diminished Or so it seems to appear Through the palm of a hand There it slips all the years With shining armor Such grand display The borders drawn neatly Showing predator, prey A fundamental right Is named and proclaimed with all might There’s always an excuse An excuse for any old fight The rule book teachers the victory keepers The ra-ra and shout hooray the sore loser weepers The fantasy league and the dream team game They thinking they all different when they all the same!
 High on the hog At the bottom of the hill Unwavering Such devoted will Well maybe he don’t know His head from the hole in his ass If you have a question Please pause, take a moment, and ask

I plucked my eyebrows To a shape of pity and despair I searched the mountains and the valleys Looking for a care There upon the television Beauty pure and rare Something tells me a load of bullshit Stinky and unfair I wore a new dress Made from finest Chinese silken thread A dress made to wear on my wedding day Or maybe when I’m dead The rose petals fall They fall so gently one by one All that is left is a stem The rose is simply done But I’m not pretty ma, I’m not pretty, no! I don’t even care about my clothes I’m not pretty ma, and someday I will die I am more than what meets the eye! When I first learned how How to make a real friend My imagination proved to be A true love without end But when I grew up I got stupid in my head Swallowing bullshit All the bullshit that I had been fed But I’m not pretty ma, I’m not pretty, no! I don’t even care about my clothes I’m not pretty ma, and someday I will die I am more than what meets the eye! I’m not pretty, ma, I’m not pretty, no! And I don’t even care about who may know I’m not pretty ma, and someday I will die I am more than what meets the eye

What is wrong with me today? [Chorus] What’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with you? And everyone that we ever knew? I’d like to say that you done me wrong But that’s the same damned song Sung by everyone I just read a sad sad book I’m seeing them everywhere I look Holds tightly to my heart it won’t let go I was lost to another place Upon return I see a brand new face Reflecting back at me, how did I not know? [Repeat Chorus] The winter’s long but the days they pass One by one they slip away too fast By summertime another year gone by I had dreams and great big hopes But they really seem to be such stupid jokes By this time next year let out another sigh [Repeat Chorus] What is wrong with me today?

Will You Go? 02:15
Will you go someday? 
 Will you go away? Will you go someday near? Someday near you’ll leave me here Yes I will go someday Yes I will go someway Yes I will go someday soon See my face smile from the moon I’ll say goodbye someday I’ll say goodbye someway I’ll say goodbye Will you hear? Will you laugh or shed a tear? Will you love or will you fear? Will you join me at last? Someday when you have finally passed Will you come and join with me? One leads the way who will it be? One leads the way either you or me I guess that we will wait and see
