Cut the deck, let's see who's dealing
Low card leads the way
By now I guess you heard about Jennifer...a car wreck...in a single moment earlier today
15-2, 15-4...
...and 8 makes an even dozen
A week ago she was totally on fire
...and everyone said that she was buzzin'
But I could see the pain behind those eyes
Especially when she was smilin'
Remember that time she almost rang the bell?
Cryin'...yeah I'm cryin'
But like Marleney always said
"If your eyes don't leak, your head will eventually swell
A run of 5, hey they're all spades
I looks like I'm stealin' your crib
Whiskey and cards on a snowy afternoon
I heard Bob might have broken a rib?
But she was DOA, and it broke the island's heart
Ain't no way this won't be stickin'
I guess you and I will both be alive at the end of the world
We'll both be alive and kickin'
Alive and kickin'
Alive and kickin'

Uncle Jorge

Time passes strangely as he read beneath the covers
About the ungodly apathy attributed to others
I remember one more thing that Uncle Jorge said
Always try to wind up in the center of the bed...
He fell off the wagon on a thimblefull of 'shine
Spent some quality time with a bottle of agave wine
Think you can swim a mile when your boat sinks offshore?
Uncle Jorge said your ticker can't take those things no more
He said keep doing it wrong until you like that bump
Life is simply simple when you plow around the stump
I'm turning red hot memories into bowls of creamed wheat...
My heart goes out to the man I used to be...
Jorge was always one to take a shine to the seasons
He loved every single day for a myriad of reasons
Loved the snow and the rain as much as a hot summer day
Fed the hummers in the winter so they'd always stay and stay
Careful what you eat, and watch what you spill
Always take care of that unpaid bill
Look for your opening and choose it well
When the right time comes it'll ring like a bell
He said keep doing it wrong until you like that bump
Life is simply simple when you plow around the stump
I'm turning red hot memories into bowls of creamed wheat...
My heart goes out to the man I used to be...

Sophie

Sophie's such a mystery it seems there's something wrong with the van
Suspected the ignition but it might be time to take it to the man
Sophie only waits to be rid of the world far below
She wants to be above it all and let all the horsetails grow
Sophie packs a punch if you ever go to rub her the wrong way
Taken by the moment, no telling how long she plans to stay...
Sophie only knows what the feelings are inside of her head
Trying to get some sleep tonight without really winding up dead
12 days up a tree might seem like a mighty mighty mighty long time
But what you might not see is the reason or even the rhyme
Yeah there's nothing to eat and no place no place to really even pee
And the barred owls are diving hard every night every night right around
3...
Sophie only wants to be friends with the world down below
Sophie only wants to be friends with the world down below

Neon Motel

This old neon motel has seen much better days
The showers all leak, and it's aged in so many ways
But I tend to pull in here year after year after year
You see, I have these memories of you and me and here
We were at the high side of 20, 30 was just around the bend
In a Dodge Slant 6, we both thought it would never end
Don't even waste your time trying to figure out the whys of life
Because 30 years later that neon still cuts like a knife
It takes a ton of ore to make a golden wedding ring
Those rocks are still in the ground and it's time for me to sing
"Love Like You've Never Been Hurt" said Satchel Paige
Been there done that, now it's time to turn the page
At sixty years of age, every man has the face he deserves
He's hit all the fastballs but can't quite catch up to the curves
The summer has stolen spring and Fall's in the rear view mirror
You see, I have these memories of you and me and here

Koa/Under the Moon

Festering red, but don't come any closer
Save the truth for yet another rainy day
But rainy days run out, and we're left with nothing special
The endless years can only try to evaporate away
Why no goodbyes, if you knew that you were leaving here so soon?
Leave it to the faithful to decipher all the madness
Under the moon
Under the moon
I can't imagine that you'd ever be gone
20 years later I thought you might be here to stay
Remember Waldron Island when we thought we'd last forever
The endless years can only try to evaporate away
Why no goodbyes, if you knew that you were leaving here so soon?
Leave it to the faithful to decipher all the madness
Under the moon
Under the moon

Glass and Debris
09:28

Sig alert on the 405
Another poor child lost her dad
Look away while we're rolling
It sure looks like it could be bad
But the wreckage is twisted and deadly
And hides what no one must see
And where is the bright light angel
Looking over someone like me
There's nothing here to see folks
Only pieces of glass and debris
My baby's home awaitin'
The other man squirreled away
The walls of time are crumbling
Put it off till another day
Another day turns to 20
And then the years turn to 3
3 turns to 14
And 14 to 74
But there's nothing here to see folks
Only pieces of glass and debris
Now Charlie has gone up to heaven
And Ira fixes the tune
They cut singles for Liberty and Starday
Had hits from here to June
But Ira hit the bottle like crazy
And drove down old 93
Doing a hundred and five with a wide open throttle
And courage that no one could see
There's nothing here to see folks
Only pieces of glass and debris
