Dropped Deep 04:19
New york town is bringing me down think i’ll set out to sea for a while if the waves get high and i’m feeling tired think i’ll come back this way some day everyday that i wake at sea with the sun beating down on me i’m letting my hair grow long way far out is where i belong wish i’d been here all along Giant squids and the submarines a life at sea is a life for me my ships no match for a tall rogue wave but there’s nothing but myself that i’m trying to save

Countryside 04:09
i hear the trains rolling westward i’ve seen the mountains and i’ve seen the sea dreamt of laying down the grass in oregon but you’ll never dream of me gonna ride that train for miles, yeah i’m gonna ride for days baby we’ll just keep on rolling into that hot summer haze because i wanna feel the sun, i wanna smell that sea ride away, will you come, come with me and we’ll see what we could find run away with me, to the country side. to much time has been wasted and now it’s time to waste away i’ve been waiting on the bison summer, to come and take us away singing songs of desperation, basement days with the graveyard kids i’ll keep breaking my strings if you bang on the drums and we’ll see what we could get.

Buried 03:10
Sleeping in again, i'm all alone no pretty little lady to wake up next to. Haven't seen such long faces since the last day of summer vacation. So i tell my friends, just take me home i think i’m over do for lovin. Black cats in my attic, thirsty bats hanging from the wood beams. There’s a tag around my toe, my numbers just not up. It’s not my time to go, but it was you i was thinking of.

i’ve been gone for seven days now I’ll be gone for seven more I think it’s time i left this place now i’ve got my thoughts, you’ve got yours 234 on the night that you had left me. i knew who you were thinking of can’t say i didn’t see it coming tell me now who do you love i can’t see whats in front of me should i stay or should i leave our time has come, now it’s past i knew this would never last
10.
theres a frozen lake down the street from my house you know it holds my heart until the summer time when that lake thaws out, you know i like to walk down and i like to swim out with some kids from my neighborhood meet me there before the streetlights come on well it’s warm out now, took off my boots and my coat threw my swimsuit on and raced down to the pedal boats we could skip our stones, we could ride our bikes we could stay outside until it’s not bright warm night until we say goodnight night.
11.
Ghost 06:33
i’ve seen ghosts and i’ve seen apparitions i was blind but, now i see when i found out you had just been lying when you flaked out, when you left me alone so i’ll wait, for that love the love thats been locked up with the key i’ll never find and i can see, yeah i got eyes so a girl like you wouldn’t waste her time don’t waste your time on me. a memory is a photograph thats fading i see the bodies, but not the details i feel the sand beneath my feet and it is sunny girl i’ve been sleeping so strange and i see it every time, every time i think i good things coming my way when i die i just don’t know but i’ll be true until the day i go a silhouette against the moon looking over that hudson blue will i see you there, i don’t know on the day that my body goes where is that gusty wind gonna carry my soul
