Ashes 01:45
Do the birds fly up to heaven do the dogs dig down to hell? And in hell is there bones for the dirty dogs to eat? An in heaven's there a birdbath that's warmed up by the sun? And are they just a laughing an a having so much fun? And if so how do you turn yourself into a bird? You got to read the good bible don't you dare question it's word Or you'll be digging with the doggies and the flames'll start to burn and you'll be wishing you were ashes just a sitting in an earn you'll be wishing you were ashes just a sitting in an earn you'll be wishing you were ashes just a sitting in an earn God damn I'm outta my mind I'm outta my mind and I'm gonna go crazy god damn I'm outta my mind ah no no no no no no

When you come around my eyes are to covered to see and I can't feel anything And when you go away I miss you more every day but this time I do hope you stay away Oooooooooooooooo And all, all the things you said that I let go right to my head did they come from your heart or your bullet proof vest And I thought don't you dare go away and leave me here to stay alone with my fear in the shade Oooooooooooooo So free free your soul let go of the goat or the troll that's guarding the bridge to yourself And breathe breathe in the air make love to the world on the stairs And if she's not there then that's perfectly fair And I I am alone but I definitely am not alone not anymore then I used to be So let's buckle up and lets go Let go of the things that you know And sing a song about love

Wild Wolf 04:26
I am a wild wolf And I'm a boy in the body of a man and I hope that's understood Heart farts went and hurt me again But who am I kidding pain is just pretend When will the clowns learn to see? Or is it just the way it has to be? I'm like a new born baby singing the blues at night I'm Pablo Picasso with a guitar and peace pipe My friends are all I need to make it right And usually I sleep alone at night ANd all the words are bouncing off of me I'm going blind while learning how to see I'm a shrinking seed blossoming tree I'm a tiny bug lost in the weeds Ooooooooo I am a wild wolf And I'm a boy in the body of a man and I hope that's understood My friends are all I need to make it rigt And usually I sleep alone at night And all the words are bouncing off of me I'm going blind while learning how to see

I'm through living in hell time to be free I'm through living in hell and I got 7 reasons to be free One is the alien floating through the sky Two is a knowing I'm gonna die Three is to know where the beanstalk goes How in the hell is a slave gonna know? Four is my love for everyone alive Five is the honey in the bee hive Six is the kid who's pickin up sticks And seven is heaven an I'm livin in it I'll ring the liberty bell if you come dance with me I'll ring the liberty bell and I don't need no more reasons to be free

Rosie 04:13
Rosie you sweet pea How'd you see the beauty in me Im glad you did cause it helped me get rid Of the idea that I need to be something In all my dreams I turn my face to the wheel God please give me the vision of blind melody Or show me what love means Or tell me to stay gold then leave Cause clearly what I see isn't real And I dont know where those bones learned to grow But I hope they don't grow out of me And I don't know how this story went untold but the fox that tricks the dog listens for free Sexy lady Keeper of the only giving tree Your ovaries are showing me That the gift of love and life are for free How helpless am I to be And I don't know how this story unfolds But your orifie are enticing me And I don't know how that little baby bled But the head inside the dead listens to me Homie Help me love the dirty vagrants of these twisted seas This ship has sailed and I won't get no more mail So don't you bother writing to me Let's split the gold grow real old then die And I don't know how these bones learned to grow But I hope they don't grow out of me And I don't know how this story went untold But the fox that tricks the dog listens for free

I've got so many things on my mind and I don't know where to begin Life is taking it's time and I'm still having trouble keeping up with it What do we do and where do we go and how in the hell are we supposed to know how to make a bunch of money buy a fancy car how to live in cages with our wings against the bars And I've got so many things but man let me tell you I'm done with them I see trouble ahead but there was trouble behind so let's roll with it I hope you're doing fine but fine is subjective so don't hold on to it Hold on to me and I'll hold on to you and we'll spin around in circles until we're gonna spew and then you can call me daddy yeah I'll be your daddy but girl what is a daddy to you? I've got so many things on my mind and I don't know where to begin Daddy daddy daddy do daddy cant you make daddy feel good Mamma mamma mamma please baby be my mamma cause a daddy and a mamma makes two One is a loser another is a loser but together we can be cool Then I'll call you baby and you can call me booboo and then we'll start acting a fool Laddaydadydaladydadyday ladydadydadadaaaa

about

The Adventures of the Silver Spaceman Brooklyn, New York

"Sprung from Lou Barlow-like crinkly pop, the marauding melodies, two-or-more guitar dualing and shadowy stories move it into dark urban alley territory."
